Chapter 367 Rest on the Spot

Lou Ruhan returned to the carriage, reported what had happened, and then handed it over to Song Jin to decide.

Song Jin didn't know what kind of trap the person behind the scenes was going to set, but he couldn't stay here. He could only take one step at a time and tie up all the villagers, and then arrange some people to help send them to the government.

Then continue on your journey.

The spy on the other side reported the situation.

The leader's face was extremely grim. "That's it? This is far from what we expected. It didn't delay much time, nor did it force the other party to change their route."

Someone asked tentatively: "Boss, have they seen through our plan?"

"Impossible!" the leader denied.

It can't be that someone can predict the future.

No one spoke now.

After a long silence, the leader said ruthlessly, "Except for children under seven years old, drive everyone else to the official road. Tell the villagers that their relatives have been killed by the enemy. As long as they delay the enemy for half a day or force them to take a small road, we will let them and their children go."

More than 20 people controlled the people in a village, killed those who dared to resist on the spot, and threatened the villagers with their families to stop Song Jin and others. When one plan failed, they came up with another. These thieves did not take the lives of the villagers seriously.

So, Song Jin's convoy stopped after just going a distance.

Not long after, Lou Ruhan came to report to Song Jin: "Boss, there is a big tree blocking the road half a mile away, and there is a group of villagers blocking the way, including men, women, old, weak, women and children."

"Again?"

Song Jin frowned slightly, "Why are you going to such great lengths to delay time?"

Lou Ruhan doesn’t know either.

Song Jin asked again: "Is this the only way?"

Lou Ruhan said, "I asked before, there is a small path that can bypass this place, but the road conditions are not very good, and most of the roads are mountainous."

"Forget it, I won't take the shortcut."

If you encounter these things when walking on the main road in broad daylight, how can you expect peace when you take the side road?

Song Jin only thought about it for a moment before giving up the idea of ​​changing the route and asked someone to go ahead and negotiate with the villagers.

As expected, the negotiations failed.

These villagers were different from the previous group. They were very hostile to them and started throwing stones at them as soon as they met them.

The scene was in chaos! "Madam, these villagers are crazy!" Mu Ting went to see what was going on and came back angrily.

Song Jin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Niu Niu, who was standing by, held her arms tightly.

Xiaoyu held the child and said nothing.

Song Jin knew that there was someone behind the villagers.

Qin Qi suggested: "I will lead people to bypass them. As long as we kill the mastermind behind the evil, these villagers will not be a problem."

"I don't agree with that."

Lou Ruhan was the first to object, speaking quickly but clearly, "Your method is good, but it will disperse our strength. First of all, we don't know how many enemies there are, and how many people we should bring to solve the problem. If we bring too few people, we will undoubtedly be sending ourselves to die. The most important thing is, what if something unexpected happens here while you are away? No one can bear the consequences."

Qin Qi’s suggestion is a good idea.

But it is not without reason that Lou Ruhan is wary.

Sanlang said weakly, "Why don't we just knock out the villagers ahead and throw them to the side of the road as we did before? By the time they wake up, we'll have already passed them."

“If only it were that simple.”

What Song Jin was worried about was that others were luring him into a trap.

Song Jin was so cautious because he knew that the other party would take human life lightly. Qin Chi was an official in the court and had always been in the spotlight. If things here were not handled well, it might affect Qin Chi's official career.

In Song Jin's mind, Qin Chi was a jade, and the other party was rubble. She felt that she was at a disadvantage when she used jade to touch rubble. Therefore, she didn't want to give others a chance to throw dirty water on Qin Chi.

Killing the villagers and putting the blame on them, it's not like the enemy behind it can't do it...

Song Jin said indifferently: "Let them rest where they are."

"ah?"

"Eh? This is..."

Lou Ruhan, Qin Qi and others were stunned.

Sanlang sat quietly on the shaft of the cart. He was also stunned for a long time when he heard his sister-in-law's sudden decision. "Sister-in-law, are we not going to continue our journey?"

"Wait, wait for the opportunity."

Song Jin spoke calmly, reassuringly, "Pull the carriage to the side first, don't block the middle of the road."

Several people were arguing just now, but once Song Jin gave the order, no one questioned it and they all did as she told them.

A situation occurred on the official road.

A large group of villagers blocked the official road, and were about 20 to 30 feet away from a convoy, with a large tree lying across the middle.

The two sides were fighting like this.

It looks like they are trying to see who can outlast the other.

Not far behind the villagers.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

More than twenty people were lying in ambush on a small hill not far away.

The leader stared at the official road.

A lackey nearby said, "Boss, what should we do in this situation?"

"Isn't it good?"

The leader said viciously, "Just hold off until our reinforcements arrive. I've given away all my wealth to ask for your help."

Nothing can be accomplished with people like them.

The only thing I could do was to pay someone to help me. After I sent the letter, the person still hadn't arrived.

They chose this location to hide because the terrain here is high and the grass in front is dense but not high, so someone can spot them immediately if they get close, and can easily see the situation of the official road.

Suddenly, one of the thieves pointed to the distance and said, "Boss, look! What is that?"

"Is someone coming?"

One person looked up.

The leader had a gloomy face.

This is the official road, so naturally, it's not just Song Jin and his group who are walking here.

The last time they were stopped, Song Jin acted quickly and the convoy continued to move forward without the people behind catching up.

This time the convoy did not move.

Being blocked here, it’s not surprising that people behind appear.

Song Jin also deliberately asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side of the road to make way for the vehicles behind to pass.

In fact, standing on a high place and looking from afar.

There were villagers blocking the road at one end, a caravan parked in the middle, and halfway out was Song Jin and his party's carriage.

People who don’t understand will think these are three groups of people.

In this situation, it would be impossible for anyone to throw dirty water on Song Jin, or to pin the blame on Song Jin for killing someone like before. The disputes between the villagers were always reported to the Shunan Caravan.

The people behind were either riding horses or in carriages.

The people riding horses seemed to be guards, and they all had swords on their waists. The carriage was finely made just from the outside. Those who could afford to ride in such a carriage must be either rich or noble.

Song Jin lifted the curtain and took a look. "We are lucky."

"What luck?"

Sanlang didn't quite understand, so he leaned over to take a look. "Someone's coming. Hehe, I see. Is that what sister-in-law is waiting for? As long as there are other people present, there will be witnesses for whatever happens."

"Yeah, Saburo's brain works really fast."

Song Jin praised with a smile.
