Chapter 18 Scroll A
Although the light in the dark room is not good, Feng Ziying can clearly see the change in Feng You's complexion by virtue of the gap under the eaves, "Uncle You, is it troublesome?"

"Brother Keng, you don't know that these religious bandits are different from ordinary bandits. I just don't understand why there are such powerful religious bandits in Linqing Prefecture!" Feng You really didn't understand.

He can also be regarded as an old character who has been in the Great Zhou Army for 20 years. Even in the Bansheng area, the military secretary has an eyeliner, and he can grasp the movements of the Bailian bandit over there. The religious bandits on the ground know nothing?
There is also the Shandong Qingli Department of the Ministry of Punishment, which claims to be second only to the Zhili Qingli Department in the north and south, and is tied for the third largest Qingli Department with Zhejiang Qingli Department. It is said that there are hundreds of informants under his command. know?
Even though this banditry is not the main business of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there must be many thieves here, how can the Ministry of Criminal Justice ignore it?

Not to mention that there is also the Long Jinwei who is the first to spy on the privacy of officials and the feelings of bandits among the people.

Although the Supreme Emperor began to rectify Long Jinwei after he ascended the throne, and Long Jinwei was declining day by day, but a dead camel is bigger than a horse. How can Long Jinwei get away with such a major incident?

"So what?" Feng Ziying still didn't quite understand.

"Brother Keng, this White Lotus Sect bandit is different from ordinary thieves. The dignitaries inside are very good at making connections, and they have always made good friends with all kinds of people. I am afraid that there are many local rich gentry and wealthy households hidden in it, and they may even be with the nobles in this city. People are somewhat implicated, otherwise how could they break into the city so easily?"

Feng You shook his head again and again, "Such a major event has nothing to do with us, but how we get out and return to Beijing has become a difficult matter. I don't think they seem to have the intention of leaving for a while."

"Uncle You, are you saying that these Bailian sect members are really going to raise the flag to rebel?" Feng Ziying still didn't quite believe it.

How could he be involved in a rebellion, and he became a poor outcast, drifting with the tide, or he would die in hell if he failed.

Feng You hesitated for a while, then slowly shook his head: "It doesn't look like their situation. If they really want to raise the flag to rebel, how can they be so stupid? Neither attack Brick City and take the entire Linqing City City, nor quickly Reorganize the team, collect food, grass and property, but dawdle here leisurely, aren't you waiting for death?"

"Or these bandits themselves are not unified internally, so they can't make up their minds?" Feng Ziying had a glimmer of hope again.

"It's also possible, but this group of religious bandits looks very different from the religious bandits at Bansheng. I don't know if they belong to the same group. What do they want to do? Is it to make money in this city? Just run away? Then they should go to Gulou Street and Zhongzhou, which are the best places to go, why do they come outside the Yongqing Gate? Why don’t they attack the inner city?"

Feng You put his hands on the wall in doubt, stared out of the observation hole, and said in puzzlement.

The secret room is divided into two sections. The lower part is a semi-submerged secret room. The so-called semi-submerged means that half is built underground and the other half is on the ground. , into the sandwich wall next to where the stone mill is located.

The design of this part is relatively complicated, and it is difficult to see the clues from the inside and outside. Only standing on the cornice can we see that this section of the sandwich wall is extraordinarily thick, much wider and thicker than the general courtyard wall sandwich room, but inside and outside it is different. Because of the twists and turns, it is difficult to observe the difference.

Feng Ziying and Feng You were standing in the dark room slanted above the secret room. They could observe the movement of the front yard and the inner yard from two sides, but they could not see the situation inside the hall.

"I don't think the kiln workers, Lifu, and the weavers in Cotton Lane are the same as these bandits. Most of these kiln workers and Lifu are locals in Linqing. These bandits seem to be from Xiajin. And Wucheng's accent, like the previous one, is more like the accent of Yuncheng and Juye."

The black and skinny kid Zuo Liangyu got up at some point, and bent his body to look out.

"Oh? Can you hear their accent?" Feng You also looked at this kid with admiration.

"I've been here in Linqing Wharf for so many years, which part of the Shandong border have I never met?" the black skinny boy said proudly.

"The former surnamed Zhao must have the accent of Juye and Yuncheng. Their accent is quite different from ours, as are those who followed him, but the earliest Hu Er should be this Xiajin, Wu The one on the side of the city, although I have never seen that Hu Er, but I also heard it mentioned by the gang of Lifu on the pier, it should be the head of the Lifu on the side of the Ferry Station, it is said that he is said to have no ring in the ground of hatred, and his strength is as strong as Niu, very brave."

The Ferry Station belongs to Xiajin, just between Linqing Prefecture and Wucheng County. Along the canal, it is only [-] miles away from Wangjiaqian in the north of Linqingzhou City to the southwest, only [-] miles away from Wucheng City to the northeast, and only [-] miles away from Xiajin County. It's only forty miles away.

The geographical location is superior, across the canal from Qinghe County in North Zhili. Many grains, cloth and fruits in Qinghe County are transferred through the ferry station, and the special product of Xiajin County, Wuzao, is also transported south by boat here.

I have to say that the two sides of the canal are really the essence of Shandong. The coastal areas are densely populated and there are many market towns. All kinds of special products are transported in and out through this waterway that can be called survival, and it also feeds countless people.

In addition to the largest city wharf in Linqing Prefecture, along the canal, there are Wangjiaqian in the north, Daijiawan and Weijiawan in the south, especially Weijiawan is the most prosperous town between Linqingzhou and Dongchangfu.

Grain, cotton, and live pigs from Qingping, Gaotang, and Chiping were all traded and transported here, and they were very prosperous, even Dukouyi, Wangjiaqian, and Daijiawan were not bad.

These Zhendian wharves range from more than a hundred manpower to as many as hundreds of people. For example, the labor force in Weijiawan is divided into three groups, each group has more than a hundred people, those who carry grain, those who carry cotton, and those who carry cotton. Those who carry the salt carry the salt, and then several other types of bulk goods are divided and controlled by these three groups of people.

Regardless of where you come from, the merchants have to follow their rules. Naturally, there are leaders here, either local rogue leaders with some background, or some local gentry who rely on how much force they have. The backing rogue.

"Since this Hu Er is a big and small person, how far is the ferry station from Linqing City? I'm afraid many people in this city know him? Hu Er is not afraid that he will be caught by the government in the future, and he will be executed?" Feng Yu didn't understand anymore.

This question is indeed a bit big, and Zuo Liangyu, who claims to know everything, was stopped by the question, and it was difficult to justify it after a long while.

Feng Ziying was also a little confused.

If it is a simple-minded man who is exploited by others because of a moment of anger, that's fine, but a character like Hu Er who has been in the arena for many years, does he not understand the pros and cons?
But today he dared to use the White Lotus Sect's pretense in broad daylight. Was he really planning to rebel?

This is unreasonable, but Feng You and Feng Ziying, who don't know what the inside story is, naturally find it hard to know.
