Chapter 480 No Threat
After seeing the abilities of those two men, Mr. Xiao firmly believed that they could manage Hezhou well.
Xiao Zhixing knew that his grandfather would not speak without a purpose. Since his grandfather said that, he must be optimistic about them.
He naturally understood the position he would take in the future.
Not to mention that they saved their Xiao family.
Old Master Xiao seemed to have thought of something and said, "Don't forget, we heard that this Miss Shen can grow high-yield crops."
"I heard that this high-yield crop is not restricted by the environment at all, and one mu of land can produce thousands of kilograms. You can imagine what this means."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixing's face changed.
"Indeed, I didn't think of that just now."
"There's no distinction between good fields and barren fields, and can those sandy lands swallowed by floods also become good fields?"
If this were the case, so many fields in Hezhou could be turned into arable land and would not be left idle.
If one acre of land could produce thousands of kilograms of grain, those refugees would not have to flee the famine. They could return to Hezhou, farm and have enough food to eat.
The Xiao family had also wanted to buy that kind of grain seeds, but it was not so easy to buy.
All the grain was in the hands of Mrs. Shen and the emperor.
These grains are now grown in the imperial farm.
Even if the emperor wants to support a certain place, he will wait until the grain in the imperial farm grows before distributing it to some places.
The entire Great Yan Dynasty is so vast that there are always areas where it cannot be popularized.
Xiao Zhixing seemed to have thought of something and said, "Dad, and about pinyin, my younger brother didn't like to study it. But after learning pinyin, I marked some books in the study with pinyin, and he could understand them by looking at the pinyin himself, and he is willing to read books."
"The pinyin was researched by Lord Su."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixing was filled with admiration.
Mr. Xiao had also seen Pinyin, so he naturally understood how powerful it was.
Mr. Xiao sighed and nodded.
"You are the future head of our Xiao family. You will be in charge of the Xiao family's affairs from now on. Remember which side you should stand on."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do."
Xiao Zhixing thought about some news he had learned from the capital and understood better what to do.
Not to mention that they also learned that Lord Su had the imperial sword in his hand.
But looking at how Lord Su saved them, they felt that Lord Su looked noble and elegant, but in fact he was decisive in his actions.
A non-threatening person.
And he could also feel the powerful aura from Lord Su.
"But the Black Panther Gang is no ordinary pirate. Lord Su has handed them over to the authorities, and they will definitely not let it go. We must be cautious along the way."
Xiao Zhixing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I've already sent a pigeon to the family members. When we arrive at the Hezhou dock, someone will pick us up."
Old Master Xiao knew his grandson's abilities, so he was naturally confident in his grandson's work.
…
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao were not affected at all during the boat ride.
As for being threatened by the Black Panther Gang, they were not worried at all.
They also wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the Black Panther Gang.
Su Xueyi also sent a pigeon to send a message to the emperor, and she believed that the emperor would also know about the Black Panther Gang.
As for the eldest and second child, they eat, play and draw every day.
Su Erya was looking at the map of Hezhou.
Shen Yueyao knew that maps in ancient times were not something that could be obtained just by looking at them like in the technological age.
This kind of map is only in the hands of generals during battles.
Of course the emperor has a map of Hezhou.
At this time, Su Erya was studying the map of Hezhou.
She was looking at the map and taking notes.
I wrote down my thoughts on the local customs and landscape of Hezhou so that Aunt San can understand.
She also read miscellaneous notes about Hezhou to better understand its customs and folkways.
Encouraged by Shen Yueyao, Su Erya also writes a diary, recording what she sees and hears every day.
This also made her like writing articles.
Shen Yueyao encouraged Erya to do this, thinking that if a newspaper was started in the future, Su Erya could become the editor of the newspaper.
Of course, this also depends on Su Erya's interests and hobbies.
Su Erya naturally didn't know about her third aunt's arrangements.
She only knows that she can learn something and write articles every day, and she feels very fulfilled.
There is no need to be confined to your home every day and only know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She can have a broad range of knowledge and experience.
Aunt San said that if you learn a lot, some things may not be useful, but it will definitely increase your knowledge and wisdom.
When encountering something, people will learn to think rationally instead of blindly following others without making judgments.
A few days later, they entered a canyon area, where there were steep mountains on both sides and the river in the middle was relatively narrow.
Han Yunzheng and the escorts became alert.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao also let Dabao, Erbao and Su Erya into the boat and did not let them come out.
Su Xueyi said, "This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is suitable for pirates."
Shen Yueyao leaned against the side of the boat and said lazily, "The Black Panther Gang threatened us before. Could their base be here?"
Su Xueyi concentrated and said, "Previously, local officials submitted a memorial to the emperor regarding the problems with this section of the river. Some ships passing through this section of the river were attacked by pirates, and some had their cargo robbed."
"But the Black Panther Gang is quite famous because they kill and rob people. They won't let people go until the goods are handed over. They are known for their brutality."
Shen Yueyao narrowed her eyes dangerously, "If that's the case, people like this should be dealt with."
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi were both ready to fight.
Shen Yueyao said, "Logically speaking, those Black Panther Gang members who were captured earlier would try every possible means to pass on the news. Logically speaking, the Black Panther Gang members should have learned the news."
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi deliberately slowed down the boat and stood on the boat in such a high-profile manner in order to lure out the Black Panther Gang members so that they could catch them all in one fell swoop.
Su Xueyi said: "Don't worry, they have already heard the news, and the news has already been released."
Su Xueyi had already explained everything to the local officials and deliberately had someone leak the news.
Shen Yueyao asked, "Do you think we should have interrogated them at that time to find out where their base camp is?"
Su Xueyi said: "Don't worry, you can ask them when they show up this time."
In the evening, Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao deliberately made a barbecue on the boat, and Shen Yueyao even fanned it hard to let the aroma of barbecue spread out.
"That should be fine. They'll smell the fragrance and think we have something good on board."
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao brought the baked food into the deck house for Dabao, Erbao and Erya to eat.
They ate outside.
The Xiao family members on the boat behind smelled the fragrance and felt that the food in their hands no longer smelled good.
Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but say, "No wonder Mrs. Shen's shop is so popular."
"I don't know what to make, it smells so good."
The Xiao family also prepared dinner, which looked very sumptuous and they thought it was quite good.
But when I smelled the fragrance and looked at the food on the table, I couldn't eat it.
Old Master Xiao looked at the ship in front of him, thoughtful.
It always feels like they are about to do something.
Old Master Xiao couldn't figure it out for a moment.
But in the middle of the night, there were more men in black underwater.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao felt it when the man in black sneaked under the ship.
However, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi allowed them to dive into the water.
At midnight, these men in black sneaked onto the ship.
Shen Yueyao immediately set a bunch of things on fire, and a cloud of thick smoke came out.
The men in black fell to the ground one by one.
Han Yunzheng and the water escorts were stunned when they saw this scene.
They were all ready for battle, but now they don't have to do anything?
Han Yunzheng thought of the medicine that Sister Shen gave them. She said that after taking the medicine, they would not be affected by the smoke in a short time.
However, the men in black who boarded the ship later became alert, held their breath, took medicine, and then boarded the ship shouting and killing.
Chen Yueyao and Su Xueyi didn't even have to take action, Han Yunzheng and the water escorts knocked the men in black to the ground.
Shen Yueyao walked over, stepped on a man in black, and directly pulled out the man's wrist. Seeing the marks engraved on it, she knew that this was the logo of the Black Panther Gang.
"Black Panther Gang!"
The man in black didn't say a word. They were beaten so hard that they were completely sore and weak.
They didn't expect to run into such a tough opponent.
Are these people so powerful?
And no one knew what the smoke was, and all the brothers in front of them fainted on the ground.
Now it's tied with ropes.
Shen Yueyao folded her arms and said, "Tell me, what's the situation with your Black Panther Gang? Where do you live?"
The man kept his mouth shut.
Shen Yueyao looked around at the few men in black who were still able to speak and said, "You guys won't say anything either?"
They all kept their mouths shut.
Shen Yueyao sneered and said, "Since I asked you and you won't tell me, then I'll use other methods."
Shen Yueyao directly popped a pill into someone's mouth.
The man reacted and kept coughing as if he wanted to cough it out.
Shen Yueyao said: “Don’t waste your time, this medicine is specially prepared by me, it can make you tell the truth.”
"Tell me, how many people are there in your Black Panther Gang? Who's the head of the gang? Where do you live?"
The man mechanically said, "The Black Panther Gang has over 300 members, and we have two leaders: the Big Boss and the Second in Command..."
"Live on Green Vine Hill."
Shen Yueyao naturally knew about Green Vine Mountain.
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi looked at each other and prepared to go up.
However, Shen Yueyao was still very cautious and asked the man to draw it on paper and tell her the exact location.
The other few people who were not unconscious were terrified.
What did this woman feed Gangzi? He actually told her everything.
This frightened them.
This woman is so scary.
It's no use even if they clench their teeth.
Shen Yueyao thought that it was a good thing that she had made sufficient preparations before coming. She had prepared a lot of things in the space, including a lot of sleeping pills, which would be convenient for dealing with the people from the Black Panther Gang.
Shen Yueyao was obviously planning to go to the Black Panther Gang in person, but Su Xueyi was not at all reassured and did not want Shen Yueyao to go.
"I'll take care of it."
Shen Yueyao said: "I am worried about you going alone, so I will accompany you."
Su Xueyi said helplessly, "Then how about this? You stay on the boat to protect Liangbao and Erya, and I'll take the two shadow guards with me."
"No one knows if the Black Panther Gang will send more people over. Besides, there are people on the boat, and there's the Xiao family's boat behind us. I'll feel more at ease with you on the boat."
Su Xueyi always knew that the Xiao family's ship was following behind.
Chen Yueyao met Su Xueyi's expression and said, "Then take these medicines and use the smoke at the critical moment."
"This isn't just any smokescreen. It's useless for them to be on guard."
"I'll give you the antidote, and you won't be affected."
