"The prisoners exiled to Lingnan are all serious criminals, none of them are good people. Why send them to the villages to waste food?"

The one-eyed wolf glanced at them, spat out some water, and said with disdain, "Brothers, let's carry the grain and the money, and go back to the village to drink and eat meat!"

The two groups of bandits came quickly and left quickly, leaving behind a pile of government officials lying on the ground, and the Jin family members hiding to the side, completely powerless...

"Oh dear, Lord Zhang, are you alright?"

Marquis Zhongyong shouted at the top of his lungs, "We're too weak to lift you up!"

While shouting, Marquis Zhongyong observed Scarface Zhang. He had clearly seen that the one-eyed wolf had targeted Scarface Zhang, and among all the officers, Scarface Zhang's injuries were probably the most severe.

When Scarface refused to pay, One-Eyed Wolf's kick would have definitely broken Scarface's leg!

"Shut up!"

As Scarface Zhang listened to Marquis Zhongyong's words, he felt as if Marquis Zhongyong was making a joke at him. He struggled to sit up and felt a sweet taste in his throat.

puff!

Scarface Zhang coughed up a mouthful of blood and finally fainted.

"Father, Father, are you alright?"

Zhang Gui scrambled over, realizing that without a father, his future would be miserable.

After this incident, everyone can only stay put and rest.

"How terrifying! Those bandits have no sense of law at all. They even dare to rob government officials in broad daylight." Madam He was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"That's right, we haven't even reached Lingnan yet, and we've already encountered two groups of bandits." Wen's eyes were full of worry for the future.

"Mother, have we stumbled into a bandit's den?"

Jin Qing leaned against Li Shi with worry.

"Bandits don't care about their lives, you don't need to worry."

Marquis Zhongyong said, "We're so poor right now, even the bandits don't rob us."

Previously, when One-Eyed Wolf and his bandits robbed government officials, some people even tried to rob them. One-Eyed Wolf simply said, "Exiled from the capital to the Lingnan mountains, they won't have a penny left."

Instantly, the bandits abandoned their idea.

"Second Uncle, something seems a bit strange," Jin Lizhi voiced his doubts. He whispered, "Today we were all weak and powerless; we must have been poisoned. And then we ran into bandits!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the one-eyed wolf from Sanming Village, I'm afraid we would have been in grave danger." Jin Runzhi nodded in agreement.

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at them, then kicked Jin Yanzhi, who seemed lost in thought: "Yanzhi, what do you think?"

"Dad, I think we're lucky!"

Jin Yanzhi said it with absolute certainty.

"..."

The look in the eyes of the Marquis of Zhongyong as he looked at Jin Yanzhi was hard to describe. Was this really his biological son?

Jin Lizhi and Jin Runzhi exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Cheng Qiqi almost burst out laughing: What the hell is this luck!

This Jin Yanzhi is probably not a good-for-nothing.

The first wave of bandits were clearly well-trained killers. What bandit group was so well-equipped?

Are they all carrying a big knife?

As for the second wave of bandits from Sanming Village, she found their arrival strange. They didn't come earlier or later, but suddenly they came at this time.

In the morning, the Marquis of Zhongyong specifically told everyone to listen to his words and act accordingly. He said that if you have no strength, then you have no strength.

Hmm, it seems the road to exile will be much easier from now on.

……

Sanming Village.

"Brother Chongshan!"

One-Eyed Wolf looked at Chongshan happily and said, "I've captured everyone. As you said, two escaped!"

"One-Eyed Brother, you did a great job!"

When Chongshan saw the person the one-eyed wolf brought back, his eyes lit up with joy.

"It's my blessing to be able to serve the world. If it weren't for the Crown Prince, I wouldn't be the One-Eyed Wolf; I'd be a dead wolf!"

The one-eyed wolf's eyes darkened as he mentioned the prince: "It's a pity the prince was harmed by a villain!"

Chongshan glanced at Heitu beside him, patted One-Eyed Wolf on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Wolf, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to clear the young master's name. Thank you this time!"

"No, Brother Chongshan."

One-Eyed Wolf shook his head repeatedly and said, "I've already had the grain and money I robbed prepared. I'll return them to the Marquis when the time is right."

"They must be short of food on the road, I..."

As One-Eyed Wolf was speaking, Chongshan interrupted, "Brother One-Eyed, no need. We can't let you brothers help for nothing. Otherwise, if the young master finds out, he'll blame us!"

"Your Highness, you are truly a peerless hero!"

One-Eyed Wolf showered the young master with praise, saying, "You interrogate those assassins, and I'll prepare some good wine and food to treat you well."

After One-Eyed Wolf left, Chongshan looked at Heitu beside him, his eyes filled with admiration, and said, "Young Master, if Brother Lone Wolf knew that you were the Young Master, he would be so excited that he wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights!"

Chongshan still remembers that when he and the prince first found the one-eyed wolf and learned of the prince's death, the one-eyed wolf cried even more bitterly than if his own father had died!

"It would be great if we could get some evidence out of those assassins."

Chongshan slammed his fist on the table in agitation, saying, "Cui Lie is truly incorrigible! He ruined your corpse and still wants the Marquis dead!"

"Your Highness, why did you let those two people escape?"

Chongshan exclaimed excitedly, "We should have wiped them all out in one fell swoop!"

"The assassin is dead, and then what?"

Compared to Chongshan's excitement, Jin Mozhi, sitting in this simple house, still exuded a noble aura, and his full beard seemed to add a touch of maturity!

"Of course..."

Chongshan didn't know how to say it.

"Cui Lie from Kyoto will realize something is wrong here. Only when they run away, witness the rampant bandits in Lingnan, and receive news of my father and the others being seriously injured will they feel at ease."

Jin Mozhi's eyes darkened slightly: "Otherwise, even if Father and the others arrive in Lingnan safely, they will be relentlessly hunted down."

"Wow, that's brilliant!"

Chongshan only realized what was happening at this moment.

"How's the investigation going with Zhishui?" Jin Mo asked.

"We'll definitely have news tonight!"

As Chongshan was speaking, news came from outside that the One-Eyed Wolf was going to slaughter a pig and invite them to eat meat.

After a lively dinner, news came from Zhishui.

"That's outrageous, far too much! I told you that even if a village of three hundred households and a thousand villagers signed a petition, they would still be thanking the Crown Prince. Who knew..."

Chongshan exclaimed excitedly, "Cui Lie actually had someone deceive those villagers, which angered the Emperor and led to the punishment of the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness, you were right to save them back then. They weren't ungrateful; they were just deceived!"

Chongshan has always held a grudge about this matter. The Crown Prince defied the imperial decree for the sake of three hundred households and a thousand villagers in this village, but these villagers produced a petition from ten thousand people, indicating that they did not need the Crown Prince's protection!

The crown prince's defiance of the imperial decree seemed to have become a joke.

Now that the truth has finally come out, Chongshan, after his initial excitement subsided, noticed that the Crown Prince remained calm. He asked in confusion, "Crown Prince, are you... not happy?"
