I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Lou Ruhan returned to the carriage and reported what had happened, and then Song Jin made the decision.

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 way.

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 over there has predicted the future.

No one spoke now.

After a long silence, the leader said ruthlessly, "Except for children under seven years old, drive everyone else over. Tell the villagers that the ones who went out earlier have been killed. As long as they can delay them for half a day or force them to take a different path, we will let these children go. If they can't do that, you have to collect their bodies."

More than twenty people captured people from a village.

Those who dared to resist were killed on the spot, and the rest were too frightened to resist.

So, Song Jin and others just walked for a while.

A horse ran back from the front.

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."

"Again?" Song Jin frowned slightly.

Lou Ruhan sent people to explore the way.

This is what the people who came back reported. You will have to wait until you get there to know the details.

Song Jin asked, "Is this the only way?"

Lou Ruhan said: "There is another small path, but the road conditions are not easy to walk on, 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 if you take the side road?

Song Jin only thought about it for a moment and then gave up the idea.

Song Jin asked the leader of the caravan to go to the front and negotiate with the villagers first.

As expected, the negotiations failed.

At the same time, they discovered that these villagers were different from the previous ones. They looked at them with hostility and threw stones at them as soon as they saw them.

The scene was chaotic for a time!

"Madam, these villagers are crazy!" Mu Ting went to see 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."

Lou Ruhan was the first to object, speaking quickly but clearly, "Your method is good, but it will disperse our strength. First of all, you don't know how many enemies there are, and how many people you should take with you to solve the problem. If you take too many people away, the protection here will be weakened. If you take too few people, you will just be sending yourself to die. What's more, if something unexpected happens here while you are away, who will 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 very cautious because he knew that the other party was disregarding human life. Qin Chi was an official in the court and was already in the spotlight. If things here were not handled well, it might affect him.

In Song Jin's heart, Qin Chi is jade and the other party is rubble.

She felt she was losing out by using jade to touch rubble.

Therefore, she didn't want to give others the opportunity to throw dirty water on Qin Chi.

If they took action and these villagers died afterwards, and then put the blame on them, the consequences would be disastrous...

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

"what?"

"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 calmed down and spoke in a calm tone.

A few people were arguing just now, but once Song Jin gave the order, no one questioned it and they all went to carry it out.

Then a situation arose on the official road.

A big tree stood across the middle of the official road. On one side, villagers were blocking the road, and on the other side, a caravan and a carriage had stopped. Neither caravan left nor anyone came forward to negotiate with the villagers.

This is how the two sides fought.

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

Not far behind the villagers.

The twenty or so men were lying in ambush in the bushes.

The chief in charge stared into the distance.

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

“Isn’t that good?”

The person in charge said viciously, "Just wait until our reinforcements arrive. In order to ask for your help, I have given away most of my wealth."

Nothing can be accomplished with people like them.

I could only pay money to ask others for help, but after I sent the letter, no one came yet.

They chose this location to hide because it was at a high position and the grass in front was dense but not high, so someone could spot them immediately if they got close, and they could also have a clear view of the situation on the official road.

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

"Is there someone?"

One person looked up.

The leader had a gloomy face and said nothing.

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.
