Chapter 368 Solution
As soon as Song Jin said this.
Qin Qi and Lou Ruhan understood immediately.
In fact, if Song Jin was a little more ruthless, he could let the Shunan caravan take the lead, and Shunan would solve the subsequent troubles. However, Qin Chi was behind the Shunan caravan, so Song Jin had to give more consideration to this.
Song Jin lowered the car window curtains and said to Qin Qi and Lou Ruhan who were standing outside the car, "When someone comes to inquire about the situation, just tell them the truth."
This is honestly very spiritual.
Qin Qi and Lou Ruhan looked at each other.
Then he passed on Song Jin's instructions.
Passersby who had just arrived here saw this and also discovered the abnormality in front and stopped several feet away.
A guard rode up on horseback to lead the way.
The guard dismounted and raised his hand to salute, "I am the guard of Wu Bohou's mansion, escorting the old lady back to the capital to visit her parents. I wonder why you are stopping here?"
"Hello, big brother. There's nothing we can do. There's a group of villagers blocking the road ahead. This is the second wave we've encountered today. The previous wave has been taken away by the officers and sent to the yamen. Alas..." Lou Ruhan walked up to chat with the guard.
He explained the situation in a few words.
Of course, Lou Ruhan did not expose the fact that someone was plotting against Song Jin behind the scenes.
It's just that people passing by are encountering unexpected disasters.
The guard went back after asking.
Song Jin heard about Wu Bohou Mansion, "What's the situation with this mansion?"
"It's the Wu family."
Qin Qi recalled the events about Wu Bohou Mansion in his mind. "The first generation of the Wu family was a founding father, but each generation is worse than the previous one. Nowadays, there is not a single promising son or daughter. It seems that the family is on the verge of decline."
Song Jin felt nothing after hearing this.
Song Jin knew a lot about the wealthy and powerful people in the capital, but he had no memory of Wu Bohou's Mansion.
Qin Qi added: "In addition to the title of a marquisate, his family's name is that the old marquis holds an idle position. When the old marquis dies, the title of a marquisate will also be gone. However, the Wu family has a daughter who married the current head of the Hanlin Academy, Lord Yan."
"Lord Yan Xianqing?"
Song Jin thought that this person was one of Qin Chi's immediate superiors.
Qin Qi glanced back and asked, "Madam, are you planning to let them take the lead?"
"That's not necessary."
Song Jin didn't expect them to not contribute, so he asked Lou Ruhan and the apparent leader of the caravan, along with the guards from Wu Bohou's mansion, to work together to deal with the villagers who were blocking the road.
There is no need for Song Jin to come forward next.
Song Jin was in the carriage with his two children.
Qin Qi and others continued to guard around the carriage to prevent anyone from finding an opportunity to approach the carriage.
Niuniu was still confused, but she already knew something. "Mom, did we meet some bad guys?"
"Yes, but don't be afraid, Niu Niu. Sister Qi and the others are here to protect us." Song Jin hugged Niu Niu in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Are you really not afraid?" Song Jin curled his lips and smiled.
Niuniu clenched her little pink fist and said firmly, "Don't be afraid! As long as mommy is here, Niuniu won't be afraid. When Niuniu grows up, she will protect mommy and beat up the bad guys."
"Ha, you're such a sweet talker."
Song Jin stretched out her index finger and gently scratched the tip of her small nose. Then, she winked at Xiaoyu and raised her arm inconspicuously to cover Niuniu's ears with her sleeve.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu also pulled the quilt and used it to cover the ears of the obedient little baby in her arms.
Not even a moment.
There was a commotion up ahead, with a group of villagers shouting and yelling, and it took half an hour to calm down.
Soon, the road ahead was cleared.
The carriage, which had stopped for a long time, set off again.
The carriage slowly passed the section of the road where the fighting was taking place.
Song Jin smelled blood.
Song Jin never asked whether anyone died, but it was certain that some people were injured and bleeding, and from time to time, painful groans could be heard from the roadside.
The guards of Wu Bohou's mansion arrested several villagers for interrogation. They found out that a group of vicious masked men had captured all the people in their village and forced them to come here to cause trouble.
The villagers were threatened and soon told the whole story after learning that their relatives were not dead but were taken to the government office. Some villagers turned around and asked them to help save people because their children were still in the hands of the masked men.
This matter is difficult to comment on.
Song Jin knew what happened and felt very complicated. "Qin Qi, go and deal with those people."
"yes!"
The villagers had already told them about the person who was causing the trouble. And when the secret guards were investigating the surroundings, they had already noticed something unusual on the hill ahead.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
A group of secret guards dressed as bodyguards rushed to the top of a hill like an arrow.
Suddenly, someone from above threw smoke down.
The secret guards were not unfamiliar with this situation, as it was arranged in their daily training, so they could handle it with ease. Moreover, they were divided into two groups, one light and one dark, working in coordination with each other.
When I heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the mountain.
The people in Wu Bohou's mansion were shocked.
Only now did they realize that there was a hidden story here?
Mrs. Wu, who was in the carriage behind, heard this and said, "No wonder Mrs. Qin stopped the carriage. It turns out someone wants to harm them."
The confidant nanny next to him said, "Don't you think Madam Qin is taking advantage of you?"
"We can only blame our bad luck for just running into him." Old Madam Wu replied with a dark face.
Anyone who gets involved in such a thing for no reason will feel bad. But if they were to blame Song Jin, their reason would not hold water.
They could only endure this loss in silence.
At this time, a steward came over to report, "Madam, Madam Qin's maid just brought over 1,000 taels of silver, saying it was for treating the guards of the Marquis' Mansion to a drink."
"Take it."
Mrs. Wu was now at a loss for words.
What was going on in the mountain was obscured by the smoke, so people on the official road couldn't see clearly. They only saw human figures flashing from time to time, or someone escaped and was killed.
Wait for the smoke to dissipate.
The fighting also stopped.
The enemy thought the smoke screen was useful, but in reality it had little effect.
First, it was at a high altitude with strong winds. Second, Song Jin's secret guards had been trained rigorously since childhood, and their bodies had a certain resistance to drugs. However, the smoke would not make people faint after just one sniff. Even if they accidentally inhaled a few puffs, it would take some time for the drug to take effect.
The so-called intoxicating smoke that can make people faint upon smelling it only exists in novels and has not yet appeared in reality.
After cleaning the scene.
Another head count.
"Five people escaped, and the others were either killed or committed suicide by taking poison." Qin Qi came to report.
After listening to this, Song Jin ordered again: "Take the body and send it to the government office of Jingzhao Prefecture, and then tell the prefect about our experience."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Qin Qi went to inform everyone about this matter.
Without outsiders, the corpse could still be destroyed, but now that people from Wu Bohou's mansion are present, we have to act in accordance with the rules. For ordinary people who encounter such things, going to the government office to report it is the right thing to do.
