Chapter 348 The Road and the Bandit
(I beg all the handsome men and beauties to support and vote more. Thank you!)

Regardless of the fact that Changku Town belongs to Zhaoyang Mansion, it is still more than 700 kilometers away from Zhaoyang Mansion, a journey of four days by carriage.

Mrs. Li is now 7 months pregnant and has a big belly.Besides, pregnant women like her this month are not suitable for long-distance travel, but Li Tiancai must go to Zhaoyang Mansion as soon as possible, and he is worried about leaving his wife in Sanya Town. He is really worried that someone will take advantage of him when he is not around. , hurt his wife and children.

Because the journey was far away, he was worried that his wife might make mistakes on the road, so Li Tiancai had the cheek to ask Qiu Laifu to accompany him, and Qiu Laifu happened to also want to build a medicinal material base in other places, so the two hit it off, and Qiu Laifu made them on the road. Private Doctors.

The bumpy road must have affected pregnant women, but Qiu Laifu directly gave Mrs. Li the spirit spring water for safety.I added a few drops to her drinking water every day. As a result, after the long journey, Mrs. Li not only did not feel tired, but also felt energetic.The condition is very good.Li Tiancai also occasionally drank the water Qiu Laifu prepared for his wife.This trek.He is also very energetic, and he is not tired at all.

He knew in his heart that this was all thanks to Qiu Laifu. Qiu Laifu gave his wife and him each a small pill, saying that it was for motion sickness and seasickness, but he didn't say anything about improving the spirit.So he was very surprised by the effect of this medicine.

He even made up his mind in his heart that he must make friends with Qiu Laifu in the future, and it would be best if he could get more rare treasures from her.

It won't be long before his wife is about to give birth. It would be great if Qiu Laifu could be kept by his side until after his wife gave birth!

Li Tiancai thought about it all the way, and before he knew it, they had already arrived at Zhaoyang Mansion.

They had three carriages along the way. In the front one were Xia Houyu, Li Tiancai, and Li Tiancai's housekeeper. In the second carriage were Mrs. Li, Qiu Laifu, and Mrs. Li's maid and a woman.The carriage behind is the luggage of Li Tiancai's family.Qiu Laifu only brought one package, and Xia Houyu only brought one of his accompanying packages, both of which were very simple traveling.

When entering Zhaoyang Fucheng, there was a long queue, and it was almost noon.The people who lined up to enter the city were somewhat anxious.Occasionally, someone can be heard complaining.Qiu Laifu listened carefully and got a general idea.

This city of Zhaoyang City does not allow people to enter casually, ordinary civilians have to pay 5 copper coins per person to enter the city, and horse-drawn carriages have to pay 10 copper coins to enter the city.However, officials and wealthy gentry did not hear that there was a charge for entering the city.This is blatant bullying of ordinary people.

The troops kept moving forward slowly, Qiu Laifu couldn't bear it any longer, so he opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, and jumped to the ground.Look at the long line.His brows were furrowed tightly.

They were about 100 meters away from the gate of the city.At this speed, it will take about half an hour before they enter the city.

It's so hot today, why are the officers and soldiers so slow?Do they know that it is the season of great heat, people will suffer from heat stroke if they are exposed to the sun for a long time.

Qiu Laifu simply ran to the front to see what was going on?
Seeing her running forward, Xia Houyu also got out of the car and followed.

Qiu Laifu ran to the city gate in a few steps.

On the city wall with an ancient atmosphere, there is a plaque hung upright on it, and the inscription "Zhaoyang." This city wall is tall and majestic, giving people a very depressing feeling.The gate of the city was only half opened.A group of soldiers stood majestically beside them.There are two soldiers who are responsible for checking the guides of those entering the city.

The other three soldiers were checking the carriages and horses of pedestrians entering the city.They checked very carefully.These soldiers are holding a painting in their hands.From a distance, Qiu Laifu saw the big heads of several people painted on the painting.

The painting was drawn with a brush. To be honest, it was difficult to distinguish the face of the portrait. It seemed that there were two eyes, one nose, and one mouth.However, there are also some characteristics. There is a person who is fat and has a big beard; another person is very thin with a pointed chin; another person is blind and wears an eye patch; There is a big tear mole.

Qiu Laifu stayed at the door for a while, and finally figured it out, what's going on?

It turned out to be because of the bandits nearby.The bandits are too rampant, they plan to rob the Zhou family, the richest man in the city.They also directly issued a letter of war to the Zhou family, explaining that they would come to patronize the Zhou family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, scaring the Zhou family to the bum, and hurriedly reported to the authorities.

Of course, the people in the government office would not give him free work, so the Zhou family spent money to eliminate the disaster and donated 2000 taels of silver to Mr. Wei Qian of Zhaoyang Prefecture as military expenses.He also donated 1000 taels to the government office as labor fee.

The Zhou family thought it would not be a waste of money, but the bandits around here are too famous, as long as they send a letter to someone, saying that they are going to rob someone, that family will definitely be unlucky, and they will be rationed regularly. If you say you want all your belongings, you won't leave a penny for this family.If you say that you only need half of someone's property, then you really only need half.

But the bandits have one advantage, that is, they don't hurt anyone's life. Although they have robbed several houses, they haven't hurt anyone's life.

It is also because of this that although the government is also hunting down these bandits, it is not very strong. After all, there is no bloodshed.Not a big deal.Therefore, during this period of time, everyone entering the city must be inspected, and every carriage must be inspected carefully, and carriages with weapons must not be allowed to enter the city.Even because of this, many suspects were arrested.Needless to say, it is certain that most of them were wronged.

After Qiu Laifu learned about these situations, he reluctantly returned to the carriage.It's really unlucky to encounter such a thing, so I have to wait now.

Qiu Laifu sat down next to the carriage frame boredly, looking left and right at the people queuing up to enter the city.

Suddenly, she froze for a moment, what did she see?A bullock cart pulls more than a dozen bundles of firewood.But there was something in that firewood.Just in the blink of an eye.She clearly felt a flash of light, which was the refracted light reflected by the sun shining on a mirror object.

Such a coincidence, Qiu Laifu saw it.Looking at the man driving the ox cart, he is a very honest and honest man.Qiu Laifu could not help but take a closer look.Why is that person somewhat similar to the bearded man in the portrait?It's just that this man doesn't have a beard.

Big beard, can't a big beard be disguised?Qiu Laifu suddenly understood.And this bullock cart is behind their carriage, if this bullock cart is exposed, will the people along the way be implicated?No, you can't sit still, you have to find a way to avoid this person.
