Light Keeper

Chapter 362 This Mission Is A Little Difficult 39
Seeing Bai Qi's hesitation, Song Shuyun continued to say, "Actually, that's not what I'm worried about."

Bai Qi stopped his thinking, but looked at Song Shuyun.

"Early before, when those beauties appeared in the village below the mountain, I knew we were being targeted."

Yang Yu also hurriedly said at this time: "Those people are too vigilant. We just put a few more spies around to let these people notice..."

Bai Qi knew about this a long time ago, and he also understood Song Shuyun's thoughts after a little bit from Song Shuyun.

It doesn't matter whether our side is being targeted or not.

Any power that has just been established has to go through a lot of difficulties. The cottage can develop steadily to the present because Song Shuyun's methods were too ruthless at the time. Of the tens of thousands of mountain bandits in Zhuo County, less than [-] were killed by Song Shuyun in the end. The elite, the numerous bones forged her fierce reputation, which gave the cottage a chance to develop.

It's normal to be targeted by others, especially those in the government. Except for Song Shuyun, it is equivalent to eliminating all the banditry in Zhuo County.
So the most important thing for them right now is to find out the source of these supplies and the identity of this group of people.

Seeing that Bai Qi didn't speak, Song Shuyun continued to explain.

"Such a large amount of materials will not come out for nothing. Let's think about it carefully, and there will always be traces to follow."

Yang Yu was at a loss, but Bai Qi was thoughtful.

The study room suddenly fell silent. Suddenly, Bai Qi seemed to think of something, and asked, "Madam, have you heard of the Chao County case?"

Song Shuyun was stunned for a moment, her memory was running quickly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her expression couldn't help but change.

Of course, Song Shuyun had heard of the "Nao County case" that Bai Qi mentioned, and it was a piece of Kuang Kingdom history that she had tried desperately to make up for recently.

The so-called Chao County case was a major case that happened in Chao County a few years ago.

At that time, corruption had become commonplace in the officialdom of Kuang State. In order to collect the people's fat and anointing, the tax officials increased the tax from [-]% to [-]%. The continuous search directly caused turmoil in Chao County.

In order to quell the chaos, the imperial court sent 20 troops, not only killing all the rioting people in Chao County, but it is said that ten rooms and five empties in Chao County were killed.

After the army crossed the border, the people of Chao County had not recovered from such a change, and banditry came. It is said that a large sum of money was robbed from Chao County. At that time, three or four hundred rich merchants' families in Chao County were all killed. For this reason, a series of chief officials in Chao County were cut off due to dereliction of duty.

After that, a bunch of imperial envoys came down to lead the army, and they went out to suppress the bandits again.

But can the suppression of bandits be done in vain?

Naturally, there will be taxation again...

In Chao County, even the ground was scraped clean within a year. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are millions of dead bodies, and it is not an exaggeration to starve for thousands of miles...

People like Song Shuyun and Bai Qi can naturally hear the problem. From this point of view, it is a stupid move by the imperial court to frighten those tax-resistant people.

But at the moment when Bai Qi brought it up, Song Shuyun suddenly had a new idea.

"Sir, do you mean..."

Yang Yu looked at the two of them a little confused.

Song Shuyun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sir, you may not know that last year's autumn tax in Zhuo County, the tax officials who collected the tax used a circle larger than the Shi Hu. I heard that those tax officials had left Zhuo County before winter came, but those extra I don’t know where the food went, I just thought that the tax food had been turned into money and was escorted to Zhaodu, but now it seems that the tax food has never left Zhuojun.”

Bai Qi also clapped his hands, overjoyed.

"Madam, I feel very polite when I say that!"

But he immediately showed embarrassment again.

"It's a pity that there is no one in our summoning capital. I don't know which 'important minister' in the court collected these tax money..."

Song Shuyun also felt a headache. After all, her foundation was too shallow, and her sources of information were insufficient. Not to mention Zhaodu, even Zhuojun, she hadn't reached the level of covering the sky with one hand.

However, this incident also gave Song Shuyun an idea.

"Mr. Yang, all of your spies have been withdrawn recently. I will personally preside over the affairs over there. However, your news came in a timely manner. I will give you a great credit for this matter!"

Yang Yu hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, knowing that Song Shuyun was going to chase her away!
He didn't feel lost either. In fact, when he heard about the Chao County case, he wanted to get out.

Now Song Shuyun doesn't need him to support her, it's just right for him!
When Yang Yu left, Song Shuyun asked Da Lang to call Mao Xing'an quickly.

As for the spies, those under Yang Yu's subordinates were good enough to inquire about some information, but if it was really the real knives and real guns to inquire about the terrain to facilitate the formulation of a battle plan, it should be the elite under Mao Xing'an.

Soon Mao Xing'an was also called by Zhang Ji. He was dressed very neatly, obviously he hadn't rested before.

The three of them sat down, Song Shuyun briefly explained the matter to him, and then explained why she asked him to come.

Now those recruits in the barracks have never experienced anything, and they are directly dragged to the battlefield for fear of causing trouble, so this time, Mao Xing'an should be the main one, with Mao Kang as the assistant!
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. Well-prepared for this matter is a pie, and poorly prepared is a trap!
It is very important to inquire about the news beforehand.

The spies this time are all elites from the cottage.

Mao Xing'an pointed out more than 50 people in total.

Song Shuyun personally led the team and set out that night, stopping twenty miles away from Zhuangzi and setting up camp.

If there is an ambush, it will not be so far away. Now there is no car, and it takes more than half an hour for the army to rush for twenty miles. It is too slow as a support. Most of the damned people are almost dead in half an hour!
The number of opponents must not be large. After all, if the opponent has an army of [-], it would be enough to flatten Jiaxin'er Mountain, so there is no need for such trouble.

Thinking about it, they were just like Song Shuyun's jealousy of those supplies, and they were also jealous of the things in Song Shuyun's hands.

You'll know if it's a cat or a tiger fight!
These more than 50 people are all spies in various cottages.

More than 50 people lived in a small forest, and the traces were cleaned quite cleanly. Song Shuyun also had a streamer to monitor them comprehensively.

Such monitoring was indispensable. Song Shuyun still couldn't trust these people, for fear that they would leak the news.

However, Mao Xing'an is much more reliable than Mao Fu. The people he recommends are all reliable. Everyone rests when they rest, and when they act, they will strictly follow Song Shuyun's orders.

At night, Song Shuyun first brainwashed and mobilized, and then uttered two harsh words, and then divided the people into ten small teams, looking for traces of those people from different directions.

They searched a forty-mile radius around the villa.

Song Shuyun did not ask for more careful search, but he must not be discovered.

They rested during the day and acted at night. It took them three days to find out the general situation of each other.
