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 and said to Qin Qi and Lou Ruhan who were standing outside the car, "If 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.

Seeing this, the group of people behind 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 had already 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.

After the guard inquired, he went back and told the others.

Song Jin heard about Wu Bohou Mansion, "What's the situation with this mansion?"

"Oh, it's the Wu family."

Qin Qi recalled the situation of Wu Bohou Mansion in his mind. "The Wu family used to be okay, but this generation of children has no future, and the heir is also a hopeless person. It seems that the family is about to 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 not to show up, so he asked Lou Ruhan and the leader of the Shunan caravan to go together.

Wait for the people from the Wu family to come over to discuss it.

Others had already understood Song Jin's intention.

This time there is one more family involved, so no matter what happens in the future, even if it is a murder, we don’t have to worry about no one to testify.

Song Jin doesn't need to intervene in what happens next.

Song Jin was in the carriage with his two children.

Lou Ruhan and his team stepped forward to handle the situation, while Qin Qi and others continued to guard around the carriage to prevent anyone from finding an opportunity to attack 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 mom is here, Niuniu is not afraid."

"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 for 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 carriage continued to move forward.

The convoy can pass normally.

When passing by that place before, Song Jin smelled blood. No one died, but many people were injured. Most of the injured were villagers.

The guards of Wu Bohou's mansion captured a man and interrogated him.

After asking around, they found out that there was a group of people who had captured all the people in their village and forced them to come here to cause trouble, not allowing anyone to pass through the official road. Not every villager could keep their word.

It didn't take long for him to tell the whole story.

Upon learning that the people who had blocked the road before were not dead but had been captured and taken to the government office, some villagers turned around and asked them to help save their families.

This matter is difficult to comment on.

Song Jin knew what happened, "Qin Qi asked someone in the dark to handle it."

"Yes!"

Through the mouths of the villagers.

Qin Qi already knew that group of people, there were only twenty or so of them, as long as they brought enough people they could capture them, not to mention that experienced people would have already discovered that there was an ambush ahead.

"call out!"

A group of secret guards dressed as guards rushed up the hill on the other side like an arrow.

Just at this moment, someone from above threw smoke down.

The secret guards were not unfamiliar with this situation, as it was planned into their daily training, so they could handle it with ease. Moreover, they were divided into two groups, one in the light and the other in the dark, and rushed towards the hill.

When I heard the fierce fighting above.

The guards at Wu Bohou's mansion were shocked.

Only now did they realize that there was a hidden story here?

Mrs. Wu in the carriage behind heard this and said, "I see. No wonder Mrs. Qin stopped the carriage. Someone wanted to harm them and used the villagers to trip them up. Mrs. Qin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to embarrass the villagers, so she was forced to stop."

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 the treatment of the guards in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Take it." Mrs. Wu didn't know what to say now.

There was a fight going on above the hill, but the smoke obscured the view, so the people on the official road couldn't see clearly. They only saw human figures flashing from time to time, or someone trying to escape being killed.

Wait for the smoke to clear.

The fighting also stopped.

This smoke has little effect.

First, they were at a high altitude and the wind was relatively strong. Second, the people on Song Jin's side had been trained since childhood and had a certain resistance to drugs. However, the drug smoke would not make people fall down after just one sniff. Even if someone accidentally inhaled a few puffs, it would take a certain amount of time for the drug to take effect.

The so-called 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 Qin Qi's report, Song Jin ordered, "Take the body and send it to the government office of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yes, ma'am." Qin Qi responded and did as he was told.

Since no outsiders saw it, it didn't matter how the body was dealt with. But now that it was in public and people from Wu Bohou's mansion were present, Song Jin immediately decided to take the body back and report to the police.
