He nodded, "His legs were disabled at the time."
"Also, the reason why this bandit stronghold was taken so seriously and was wiped out by the higher authorities was because a powerful family in the North City died on their way back to the North City after worshipping their ancestors."
"Later I found out that the family was Yue Lu's family. The ones who died were his grandmother, biological father, stepmother, and his stepmother's brothers and sisters."
"Now it seems that he was severely persecuted by his family. After his legs were broken, he turned to banditry in order to seek revenge."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "If that's the case, it makes sense."
She asked: "Then why is he relying on Xi Rong now?"
Xiao Hanzheng kneaded the dough while saying, "He should know Xi Rong's identity. On the one hand, he really wants to repay his gratitude, and on the other hand, he may want to use Xi Rong to avenge his family."
Shi Qingluo thought it was right, "Then his identity should be fine, right?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine if you look at it this way, but I can't say for sure. After all, what I knew before has changed now."
In his previous life, Xi Rong had never come to Beicheng, and his scumbag father was still in the capital, let alone him and his young wife coming to Heyang County, so Prince Jin or the people from the previous dynasty had no intention of targeting them.
Now that these changes have happened, it remains to be verified whether Yue Lu was being instructed by someone behind the scenes to stay with Xi Rong.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, it's better to be careful."
There are still things that need to be checked and prevented.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and asked, "How are you going to deal with Zhuo Zheng?"
Shi Qingluo said: "I don't know why he came to Heyang County. I plan to find something for him to do and find out his purpose at the same time."
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "That's a good idea. I think he might be coming for the canned food and other workshops."
"I found out that people from the previous dynasty had close contacts with the royal family of Ge Kingdom."
"The Ge people are a people of the grasslands. Canned meat, candles and soap made from sheep fat, and woolen yarn are all very valuable to them."
"The last thing they lack is sheep."
Supplies were scarce in the Ge Kingdom, and the people in Daliang often exchanged sheep for some daily necessities.
But if you just sell it for breeding, the price can't be raised high.
Therefore, if the people of Ge State could learn these recipes and open a few large workshops, they would definitely make huge profits whether they sell them in their own country or sell them to Daliang.
Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, "You mean Zhuo Zheng is mainly here to steal the canning workshop recipes?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "That's what I suspect."
"The treasure of the previous dynasty has not been found, and it is being targeted by several parties. It will not be easy for them to get it."
"To rebuild the country, money is urgently needed, so if they can cooperate with the Ge Kingdom to do business, they can not only cheat Daliang, but also get a lot of money to operate privately."
People in previous lives and dynasties stole a lot of things from Daliang and sold them to the Ge Kingdom, or cooperated secretly with them, such as improved weapon blueprints, wine-making recipes, etc.
That's why he was so suspicious.
Shi Qingluo thought deeply and said, "What you said is very possible."
"I have never figured out why Zhuo Zheng came to Heyang County."
"I had previously speculated that he might want to get some new recipes from me and take them back to let the people of the previous dynasty make them themselves."
"I never thought that he was planning to steal the recipes of several new workshops in Heyang County, so we won't be on high alert against him in this regard."
"In this case, maybe he could succeed."
"These people from the previous dynasty were quite calculating."
Shi Qingluo discovered that one really cannot underestimate anyone.
Of course, her husband is one step ahead and can easily analyze all these twists and turns.
The boss is the boss.
"No wonder the previous dynasty fell. They didn't care about their country and the people at all."
The previous dynasty was overthrown because of tyranny, and its policy towards the Ge Kingdom was not as tough as that of Daliang now. They would fight if they wanted to.
On the contrary, the previous dynasty would send a large amount of supplies to the State of Ge every year as a means of appeasement, so there had never been a war. But in the end, these supplies were still taken from the people.
The previous dynasty had frequent corvée labor and numerous exorbitant taxes, of which 30% to 40% were contributed to the State of Ge in order to prevent it from sending out troops to fight.
When winter came in the northern border, the Ge people would come to the cities, villages and towns of Daliang to burn, kill and loot, but the court of the previous dynasty was like blind and deaf, unable to see or hear anything.
It was the royal family and officials of the previous dynasty who were enjoying themselves, but it was the common people who were suffering.
It was only after the establishment of Daliang that the military defense line in the northern border was strengthened, and incidents of burning, killing and looting by the Ge State became less frequent.
The lives of the people here have become better than in the previous dynasty.
Shi Qingluo was very disgusted with this kind of traitor.
It is understandable that people of the previous dynasty wanted to take back their lost country and that there would be internal strife, but no matter what, they should not collude with the enemy country to cause trouble.
If the previous dynasty had really overthrown Daliang, the people's lives would definitely be much worse than they are now.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, they only care about interests and hatred, and don't care about the lives of the people."
"If they have enough strength to send troops, they will definitely collude with the Ge Kingdom to send troops together."
"If we really win, half of Daliang might belong to Ge Kingdom."
This is also one of the reasons why he disliked those people in the previous dynasty.
Shi Qingluo narrowed his eyes and said, "Since Zhuo Zheng wants to steal the recipe, I will give him a chance."
This is also a good opportunity to test whether Zhuo Zheng wants to enter the workshop.
If she is sure that he wants to, and wants to make him miserable, she will still hold on.
She hooked her finger at Xiao Hanzheng, "I have a way to deal with him. You ask someone to..."
After hearing what his young wife said, Xiao Hanzheng's eyes were filled with a smile.
The young wife is really bad, but he likes her.
"Okay, tomorrow's talk will be a little abrupt. I'll have someone do it in a couple of days once he's settled down."
"Then you can test him to see if he wants to go to the workshop."
He fully agreed with his young wife's plan to punish Zhuo Zheng, and he found that guy very annoying.
And it seems that he also wants to seduce his young wife.
He doesn't even go back and look in the mirror. With that pretty boy pretending to be cute, will his wife be interested in him?
Even if I was made to cry, no one would sympathize with me.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, let's do it."
She asked, "How many workshops have been opened?"
Only in this way could the people of the previous dynasty find out and then make plans.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "It's open now. The emperor has sent a batch of rubber here at full speed, and they're waiting for you to teach them how to make cans."
"Recently, my people have discovered quite a few spies from various parties in the workshop."
That's why he was so suspicious of Zhuo Zheng's intentions.
