Chapter 248

"Don't worry." Qin Hongyi was actually very confident.

In his cognition, Shen Lan is more capable than him. Shen Lan did not fight against Liu Shi, but quietly escaped from Liu Shi's control. Although he didn't know what happened in the woods that day, he could It is also a miracle to escape the pursuit of those people.

"Ma'am." Xuansi called out from outside.

"Call me for something." Shen Lan let go of Qin Hongyi's hand and went out: "What's the matter?" She looked at Xuan Silk's face somewhat gloomy.

"Lin Xicong will deal with a large number of merchants hiding food in the city tomorrow." Xuansi's face is sour because there are people from Jiuyou.

"why?"

"They said they hid food and grass privately." Xuansi said indignantly.

Shen Lan thought for a while, this Lin Xicong is really a robber, even worse than Zhou Jianyuan, if it wasn't for the fear that Qin Hongyi would be affected by him, she would have pulled him out first.

"I see." Shen Lan simply responded, "Go and prepare a bamboo chair."

"Yes." Xuansi went down.

Shen Lan thought for a while and then went to Qin Hongyi: "You have to come forward about this matter."

"What?" Qin Hongyi didn't hear what Xuansi said.

"I think this Lin Xicong is becoming more and more outrageous. He actually attracted the attention of those rich businessmen and wanted to take their property." Shen Lan said flatly, and she couldn't see her attitude.

Qin Hongyi thought for a while: "He is going to abandon Xiacheng."

Shen Lan froze for a moment: "Impossible."

"Although Xiacheng has a geographical advantage, it is neither a fortress nor a battleground for military strategists. It is an isolated city in a war. Compared with before, he took a fancy to the geographical advantage here, and discovered the disadvantages here after a battle." Qin Hongyi Said coldly.

"Then what should we do?"

"The left and right of Xiacheng can't be kept." Qin Hongyi was also a little embarrassed, "With the current strength of the imperial court, I still don't take a Xiacheng seriously."

"Is there really any other way?" Although Xiacheng is meaningless to Shen Lan, she still doesn't want to abandon the city. It is probably impossible for the court to give up slaughtering Xiacheng now. "Then where is he going?"

Qin Hongyi thought for a while: "Maybe it's Lingzhou. Lingzhou is not far from here. It is a rich land and a fortress. There are more people coming and going."

Shen Lan thought about it for a while, Lingzhou is indeed a good place, the people living there are more concentrated than here, that place can be attacked and defended, and has rich products.

"Then let's watch him act like a bandit, and then go grab that one after that?" Shen Lan said unconvinced.

"Aren't you looking for me to stop him?" Qin Hongyi smiled and shook Shen Lan's hand.

Shen Lan also smiled, why didn't I find out that the two of them still have such a tacit understanding before?

On the second day, many people surrounded Caishikou. This Lin Xicong was so hypocritical, he wanted to be a holy master and a robber at the same time, killing innocent people indiscriminately and doing it in a grand manner.

Lin Xi was never there. In his words, he didn't need to come forward to kill a few profiteers and rich people. It was a man named Hu Changliu who was beheaded by the sword.He is one of Lin Xicong's confidantes. He is a little thin and looks a little wretched. According to Shen Lan's information, he used to be a hooligan. That's what Lin Xi saw in him.

Although those wealthy businessmen said that they didn't commit any major crimes, these people have always been the first choice for bandits, bandits, and bandits to occupy cities, so now they are trembling as if they really committed a crime.

"In a while, go over and stop the executioner's knife." Shen Lan instructed Xuan Ling on the side.

"Yes." Xuanling didn't ask why she didn't go to save those people now.

The use of public opinion must first stimulate people's appetite, and only when things turn around when things are impossible will they give an impact. Now those people may still think about someone to save him, but when the executioner's knife is about to fall, it is their last time. The time of despair is also the time when everyone's heart is raised in their throats.

So this thrilling scene appeared at Caishikou. It would be absolutely impossible to block the executioner's sharp knife if he hadn't made sufficient preparations. The impulse of the acceleration of gravity cannot be resisted by ordinary people.

"Bold, you dare to openly rob the execution ground and kill them to me." Hu Changliu roared.

Immediately, twenty or thirty soldiers surrounded Xuan Ling and the others.

"Stop." Qin Hongyi yelled with all the strength in his body, because all the muscles in his body were weak, including the muscles in his mouth when he spoke, so the word seemed to come out of his throat directly. anger.

Four people carried Qin Hongyi, while Shen Lan rode a horse and stood aside. In fact, her identity could use a soft sedan chair, but she didn't want to separate herself from the people.

Seeing Qin Hongyi and Hu Changliu dodging his eyes for a moment, he hurried up to salute: "See Your Highness."

The people around saw that Hu Changliu knelt down to become His Royal Highness Qin Hongyi, so they all knelt down one after another. Those rich businessmen who had been frightened and softened are still softening there, only the sound of such voices in their ears gave their bodies a little strength. .

"Get up." Shen Lan dismounted and stood by Qin Hongyi's side. She could see that Qin Hongyi had no strength to speak.

Everyone thanked them and stood with their hands down.

It's not that Shen Lan is going to stand out, it's just that Qin Hongyi doesn't have the ability to deal with these things now. Think about it, it's better at that time. With her status, she can directly transport it by air, so that the medicinal materials have not arrived yet.

"Who told you to kill these wealthy businessmen?" Shen Lan saw that Hu Changliu was about to get up and stared at him, and his knees softened in fright and he knelt there again.

Others don't know about Shen Lan, but the people around Lin Xicong have already been greeted. Now Lin Xicong thinks that as long as Shen Lan doesn't make trouble, they will try their best to enter the water and not violate the river.That day when Shen Lan and Qin Hongyi were together, Hu Changliu was by Lin Xicong's side and he naturally saw him, so he could only listen to what Shen Lan was saying at the moment.

"Yes, it's Coach Lin." Hu Changliu's eyes wandered and his mind kept spinning.

"What crime did they commit?" Shen Lan said simply.

"Secret food and grass."

Shen Lan signaled Xuan Ling to bring the three people over: "Although King Qin is only here temporarily, things that disturb the people are not allowed to happen. You still need evidence for your claim that they hid food and grass." He turned to the kneeling man Three people: "Are you hiding food and grass privately?"

"No, no, it's true..." The three said hurriedly.

Shen Lan glanced at them aside, it was impossible to say that they did not hide something privately, but it was not a fault to hide a little of their own things, after all, Qin Hongyi and Lin Xi had always been a threat to them to some extent.
