Chapter 403
"They are not soldiers." Meng Zhanxiong said with some embarrassment, "They are people who were tricked into gambling and then lost everything."

Helian Feishuang was somewhat disdainful, it turned out to be a group of gamblers.

Meng Zhanxiong looked at them with a bit of embarrassment: "In fact, they are not that kind of gamblers, but they were cheated, and then the land and the house were not cheated." He explained very weakly.

"Is there anyone who is cheated while gambling?" Helian Feishuang said very disdainfully.

"Yes, many people want to get something for nothing, and what those people say is simple, but they are actually deceiving." Jiang Ziyu said simply in the car.

Hearing what Jiang Ziyu said, they looked around at the people around them, they all looked like ordinary peasants, maybe they were a bit of a ruffian because they had been bandits during this time.

"Find out what's going on." Jiang Ziyu was a little puzzled.

The red lady thought for a while: "Did you find something?"

Jiang Ziyu nodded: "The second prince will definitely need money if he wants to buy off the soldiers guarding the border in southern Jin. How can he get so much money under the eyes of the emperor? This method is the fastest way to raise money."

Hong Niangzi nodded: "What you said makes sense. Then what should we do?"

Jiang Ziyu didn't know what to do, the second prince had been running the business for as long as they had been away, and even the second prince had been running this kind of thing all the time for the purpose of plotting to rebel and usurp the throne at that time, it's just that this time is the most suitable time.

Helian Feixue and Helian Feishuang carefully understood the process of their being cheated into gambling, only to find that they all have something in common. These people all have some private land in their hands, and at the beginning they all have good conditions to lure them. One point defrauded them of all their property.

It was already afternoon after these matters were settled, Tang Luojin finally planned to take Meng Zhanxiong on the road, as for the more than 20 people, he also took them with him, so he went back to their stockade to pack up his things, and when he saw their dilapidated stockade, Helian Feishuang It's not easy being a bandit.

At noon, I ate something outside, and at dusk I only found a small mountain village to settle down. This kind of place can just be used to verify Jiang Ziyu's guess. If these people are really deceived, then there must be a full-scale operation people.

Most houses in the mountain village didn’t have lights on, so they found a house and knocked on them, Yue Rulian and Helian Feishuang went, it was inconvenient for Jiang Ziyu to go with her children, Tang Luojin didn’t want to go because of her status, He Lian Lian Feixue didn't want to leave Jiang Ziyu, and the pride in Yan Shuyu's eyebrows couldn't be erased, so Yue Rulian and Helian Feishuang were most suitable to go.

It was a man in his 30s who opened the door for them, and there were two children playing in the room.

"We passed by here to find out how to get to the nearest road." Helian Feishuang said very politely.

The man inspected Helian Feishuang and Yue Rulian before letting them into the house. There were many animal skins and bones hanging in the yard, which seemed to be a hunter.

On the side of the millstone under the window sill was an unfinished steel fork, and the place where the steel fork was ground was bright and cold.

"Have you eaten yet?" Liu Erhu asked them after entering the room.

"We've already eaten." Yue Rulian said shyly.

"Then sit down." Liu Erhu signaled his mother-in-law to take the two playful children down, and the two children obediently followed his mother down immediately.

"Aren't you two asking for directions?" Liu Erhu said directly.

Helian Feishuang and Yue Rulian were stunned for a moment, then they became vigilant, the person in front of him looked deeply and he was not a fool.

"We don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to ask you to find out a little bit about why so many houses in this village don't have their lights on." Yue Rulian said directly without hiding it.

Liu Erhu looked at them: "You are foreigners."

"En." Yue Rulian nodded.

"Outlanders, tell me if anyone is interested in the places you pass by! What is your purpose?" Liu Erhu stared at them.

Although Liu Erhu is a hunter, he has seen the world. If the world were not so chaotic, he would still be able to lead a good life with his wife and children.

"We just want to find out why, we really have no other purpose." Helian Feishuang said helplessly.

"Hunters hunt for a living, and farmers farm for a living. People only do things that are useful to them and related to them. Why do you ask these things for no reason?" Liu Erhu said very seriously.

Yue Rulian looked at Liu Erhu: "Do you know Jiang Ziyu?"

Liu Erhu asked strangely, "Who is Jiang Ziyu?"

How does Yue Rulian feel that the person in front of her speaks a bit like Jiang Ziyu: "It's nothing, I just feel that you speak a little like her." Yue Rulian took a sip of water from the bowl, "Actually, we are a caravan. We met robbers, and heard from the robbers that they were cheated into gambling and lost everything, we came here just to verify if it was true, we are a caravan, and we don’t want to cause any trouble.”

After listening to Yue Rulian's explanation, Liu Erhu was slightly relieved: "There are indeed some landless people here."

"Why?" Helian Feishuang blurted out.

"What those bandits told you is true. Some people came here half a year ago and opened a casino. At the beginning, the people here won a lot of money, but then they slowly became addicted and lost all their property. Now, some even lost their wives and children." Liu Erhu said with some emotion, "I finally found out that they were fooled by those people."

Yue Rulian and Helian Feixue were not surprised by this result at all, they just believed Meng Zhanxiong's words, but if it was true, the problem would be even more serious.

"Is there no one to take care of them?" Yue Rulian said angrily.

"How can those people be managed by us people? Not only this village, but also the nearby villages I know have such things. Now more than half of the land in the ten miles and eight towns has been lost." Liu Erhu was a little angry "and Some families were killed, and there was no one left overnight."

"There is such a thing?" Helian Feishuang said in disbelief.

"So you have to be careful. Some bandits here are bandits who are forced to do so, and some bandits and their gangs will block the road and rob when they see a larger caravan, and there is no one there. Keep."

Yue Rulian and Helian Feixue looked at each other, it seemed that the second prince was indeed using extreme means to collect money, but now they were weak and had no ability to fight against the second prince.

"I guess this is the action of people in the court, and the people below can only close their eyes and pretend to be dead." Liu Erhu approached the two of them and said in a low voice.

"Thank you." Yue Rulian basically knew everything.

"Thank you, you are a caravan. I have some damaged furs here. Do you want them? I cooked them myself. They were harvested last winter. The furs are thick and shiny. It's getting cold now, and I will definitely sell one in winter." Good price." Liu Erhu instantly changed from a cool hunter to a small merchant.

"We have to go back and discuss this with our head of the family. You said there are too many robbers on the road. I'm afraid we'll take this with us..." Helian Feishuang said with some embarrassment.

"I can sell it to you at a lower price. I just want to change some money and move to the mountains with my wife and children. Now that the world is in such chaos, I don't know when we will be affected. We should make a plan for ourselves earlier." Liu Erhu was very pleased. Sincerely.

"Alright, we will get back to you as soon as possible." Helian Feixue also said seriously.

The two left some money for the Orion, which was regarded as information money, and the Orion did not refuse. These big families came out and offered rewards at every turn.

Tang Luojin and the others were silent for a while after hearing the news brought back by Heliang Feishuang and Yue Rulian. The more detailed the bad news, the worse it became. It seems that this matter is a foregone conclusion.

"It seems that it is very unfavorable for us to go back to the capital directly." Tang Luojin finally said slowly.

"Then what are you going to do?" Yue Rulian looked at Tang Luojin.

"These are the tentacles of the second brother. The second brother may have already controlled the palace and the capital. If these tentacles are strong enough, I'm worried that none of us will turn the situation around." Tang Luojin said very worriedly.

A few people fell into deep thought again. They thought that they would face those messy things when they returned to the capital, but they didn't expect to encounter such things before returning to the capital. It had nothing to do with the rain, it was definitely a figment of her own mind, when something bad happens we always find signs that it's going to happen, it happens whether you look for it or not.).

"Then let's find a way to cut off these tentacles." Jiang Ziyu said directly, "The second prince needs a lot of money, and these tentacles are for money. Only after getting this money can he buy the soldiers. If he breaks promises to those soldiers from the beginning Woolen cloth?"

Tang Luojin looked at Jiang Ziyu and thought for a while: "How to do it?"

"Cheats eat blacks." Jiang Ziyu said directly.

"You mean, we swallowed up the money that the Second Prince has amassed?" Helian Feixue looked at Jiang Ziyu.

"That's right, a gentleman loves money in a right way." Jiang Ziyu said with confidence.

Instantly felt that Jiang Ziyu had the potential to be a bandit, and he thought that robbery was a way for a gentleman to love money, and if he had nothing to do in the future, he could lead a group of female bandits to rob everywhere, and then set up the banner of doing justice for the sky.

"But we don't have enough manpower, and besides, my second brother is very cautious in his work." Tang Luojin said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Ziyu looked at Yan Shuyu: "You go back to the capital as quickly as possible, is your Luoyan Pavilion still there?"

"I asked Aunt Ying to disband, but I didn't get any news later." Yan Shuyu said simply.

"When you go back to the city, if the Luoyan Pavilion is not disbanded, use the Luoyan Pavilion as your foothold. After all, there are many people in the capital who know you, but none of them know your true identity. When the time comes, Big Brother Qi and Master Qu will have a foothold to find you , and the crown prince will also notice you there, so they can meet up, and you can think of a way inside." Jiang Ziyu said seriously.
