"That's right! There are dozens of bandit camps, big and small, in Tong County. All of them were forced to move to the mountains because they were in danger of losing their lives by those officials!" Qin Haoran took out a wine jug from somewhere and took a big gulp as he spoke!

"Those officials formed cliques and factions, and the whole Tong County was filled with complaints."

"Tong County? Isn't the magistrate Jiang Zhiang?" Yangyang suddenly realized that the county governed by Jiang Zhiang was so miserable. "Tong County is not far from Jingwei City. If you have any grievances, why don't you go to Jingwei?"

Qin Haoran was a little sleepy so he mentioned a few words. He didn't expect that this young lady who seemed weak and unable to take care of herself would be willing to talk to him about these things. He jumped up with a hearty smile and sat on the wooden railing.

"But you have to be able to sue? What a pity! You can't sue?" He said, and lowered his voice mysteriously, "There is someone behind him! Hahaha!"

Yangyang had some idea about what Qin Haoran said. If there was someone behind it, then the Minister of Revenue Gao Mingde would be the first to be blamed. It was just a county, so why would a second-rank official do this?

"This Tong County is just a county. As you said, why do those in higher positions have such great connections? What do they want?"

"What are they trying to achieve? Tong County is a transportation hub connecting the entire Dapu Country. Transportation to the southwestern border and the coast must all pass through here. Tell me! What are they trying to achieve?"

Yangyang roughly understood what he meant after hearing it. However, Qin Haoran, who had drunk a little bit of wine, did not speak like an ordinary bandit at all. Instead, he had the bearing of a politician!

But who knows!

With so many people in Tong County being forced to join the Liangshan bandits, it’s possible that Qin Haoran was originally the son of an official!

None of this is important. What is important is that Jiang Zhiang, who is dominating Tong County and relying on someone behind him, has firmly controlled the transportation of Tong County! Isn't this holding the entire economy of Dapu Country in his hands?

Then the person behind him is far more than just Minister Gao of the Ministry of Revenue. Isn’t it the Second Princess?

Thinking of this, Yangyang couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It turns out that they have planned everything!"

"What did you say?" Qin Haoran raised his chin towards Yangyang, "What are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing!" Yangyang paused, "Since you said you can't take me away now, can you go down the mountain with me tomorrow to see Tong County? I don't believe what you said!"

In fact, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't blindly judge the situation in Tong County.

Besides, I also want to take a look at the county town. Maybe there will be some information about the Beijing guards. I can also find out whether the current Zuo Xiangfu is safe!

Provoking Qin Haoran should work, but if it were someone else, he might just ignore it!

Sure enough, when Qin Haoran heard Yangyang's last words, he jumped off the wooden railing and said, "I, Qin Haoran, never lie. Tomorrow, I will take you to see it. Don't be scared! Humph!"

After saying that, she flung her high bun back and walked away in big strides.

It seems that this person came out to use the toilet! He was just forced into a corner.

The next morning, Qin Haoran knocked on Yangyang's door frantically and shouted. When Yangyang appeared at the door with panda eyes, Qin Haoran was almost scared!

"You, you didn't stay up all night, did you?"

Yangyang scratched his head awkwardly, and said a little aggrievedly, "There are animals barking all night, and I can't sleep well! Let's go!"

"Let's go?" Qin Haoran grabbed Yangyang's collar and pulled her back without any hesitation. "You are dressed so ostentatiously, what if others recognize you? I'm not a fool!"

As he spoke, he looked at a grandmother who was leaning against the wooden railing below the stilt house and said, "Grandma, get me a set of coarse cloth clothes that this young lady can wear!"

My mother-in-law nodded happily, and soon brought over a set of coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

"Mother-in-law, did you sew all of this yourself?" Yangyang took the coarse linen clothes and couldn't let it go!

She quickly changed her clothes and followed Qin Haoran down the mountain.

"I'm telling you! You have to stay with me at all times after we get down the mountain. If I feel better one day, I'll have to send you off!"

"You are just bragging in front of me! People in the village believe you, so don't fool me!" Yangyang was full of energy during the day, and going down the mountain was not a problem for him who went hiking every day.

So I spoke a lot bolder than yesterday!

But Qin Haoran frowned and suddenly braked, almost hitting Yangyang. "What are you doing!"

"What do you mean? Are you questioning my authority?" Qin Haoran put his hands on his hips, bent down and looked at Yangyang!

Yangyang looked up and realized that this guy was so tall, at least 1.9 meters tall.

However, after a conversation last night, Yangyang had a general understanding of the boy's character.

Instead, he said jokingly, "Someone must have told you when I can leave! Don't worry! I won't tell that person if you take me down the mountain privately!"

"That person?" Qin Haoran snorted with a hint of meaning, "Don't think I'm afraid of that general. I'm the village chief. Do you know who I am?"

Qin Haoran scratched his head in a troubled manner, thinking that if he had not just fought Jiang Zhiang and his group of cripples that day and was a little exhausted, how could he have lost to that general! He still felt a little unconvinced!

He even talked about wanting to recruit me and let me follow him to the front line. What a nice dream!

After Yangyang finished speaking, she walked forward before him without even looking at his reaction, leaving Qin Haoran following behind and muttering endlessly!

Children are children, they always want to win. Yangyang waved his hand and smiled at the person behind him, "I know! I know! Village chief!"

"Hey! Let me tell you, I have the final say on this hill, you have to listen to me!" Qin Haoran continued to yell behind them!

Yangyang had no choice but to nod and agree.

A big bird flew by, and Qin Haoran nimbly pounced on Yangyang from behind. The two of them immediately lay down in the grass.

After eating a mouthful of grass, Yangyang slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Haoran with a frown.

Qin Haoran made a gesture to keep quiet, still holding Yangyang's head to signal Yangyang to fall down!

When the big bird flapped its wings and fell into the hands of the man in black who followed him into the mountain,

From the bushes, it looked like there was more than one man in black but a group of them. The voices came like this,

"Boss, we have searched all the way. If we go up a little further, we will be in the territory of the Elders' Village. There is no need to do that! The Xue family girl will definitely not go to that kind of place! Is our information wrong?"

The leading man in black said, "Impossible! Our people have set up ambush well on the road from Jiaguan Avenue to Mobei, but we didn't see any trace of the Xue family girl. Now it is the most secretive to take a detour from Tong County to Mobei! Search carefully!"

"But Boss, the entire family of Zuo Xiang has been detained. Why waste so much manpower if she is the only one who escaped?"

"What do you know? Go find it quickly! Stop talking nonsense!"

All detained? Yangyang couldn't believe her ears. All the people in Zuo Xiangfu were detained, and she was the only one who escaped!

"What do you want to do!" Qin Haoran saw that the group of people in black were not far away, and Yangyang was about to stand up, "Are you crazy? Get down right there! Didn't you hear that they are here to find you?"

Although Qin Haoran was a bit careless, he knew clearly in his mind that the person in front of him who even the general had to protect must be someone extraordinary!

He didn't want to get involved, but now it seems that the situation is much more serious than he imagined!

"I have to go back to Jingwei!" Yangyang waved Qin Haoran's hand away and looked at him with extraordinary determination.
