My god, run!!!

The plan devised by Zhou Zheng was nothing short of ruthless. Since ancient times, killing surrendered soldiers has been a taboo, and the ultimate outcome is always dire. Just think of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, and see what his ultimate fate was.

Zhou Zheng and his men captured a bandit and learned the basic situation of the bandits on the entire east side. They also learned from the bandit that the Shuang'er Mountain Tunnel was built by order of Qin Shi Huang.

They carved a passage from the front and back ends of the mountain. It took a huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources to complete this huge project. In the end, they actually accomplished it. Considering the technical capabilities at that time, it was really a miracle. It is still a miracle from now on. So don't underestimate our ancestors.

After Zhou Zheng and his team finished their investigation, they found that their strategy worked. However, they still needed to wait for a few more days. When these bandits were both defeated, they could reap the benefits.

Warfare is a matter of deception, and my ancestors and grandson never deceived me.

Then Zhou Zheng and the other three returned to their home in Qianjia Village.

When Chen Xinyi saw Zhou Zheng coming back, she rushed towards him in an instant, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly with both hands.

When Hua Rong and the others saw Chen Xinyi's expression, they immediately burst into laughter. This made Chen Xinyi blush and she buried her head in Zhou Zheng's chest, not daring to see anyone.

It took a while for Chen Xinyi to leave Zhou Zheng's arms. The two brothers Li Daniu and Li Erniu had already boiled water, and then Zhou Zheng and the other three took a nice hot bath.

God knows how Zhou Zheng and the other three spent the past month. All we know is that they took a full hour to shower before coming out. Then the two brothers Li Daniu and Li Erniu had already prepared the meal and were waiting for Zhou Zheng and the others to come out after showering before they started eating.

Home is still the best, warm, solid and comfortable. No matter how big the nest is, it is not as good as your own doghouse.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xinyi started asking questions, and Zhou Zheng answered them one by one. When they learned that the previous plan had been implemented, they all showed expressions of happy anticipation.

Li Daniu first carefully reported the various news he had learned in the past month, saying that the traveling merchants and businesses passing by here would basically hire bodyguards from the escort agency in Qianjia Village, or the accompanying guards here, to escort and protect them.

As long as the goods were escorted by escorts or bodyguards hired by Qianjia Village, they would pass through Shuang'er Mountain safely. If they were not, they would likely be robbed by the bandits in Shuang'er Mountain. The families of those captured would be required to pay ransom, and if their families refused to pay, they would generally be killed.

In short, if you have a bodyguard or escort from the Qianjia Village escort agency, whether you are transporting goods or people, you will be able to pass through Shuang'er Mountain safely. If you do not have a bodyguard or escort from the Qianjia Village escort agency, your goods and personal safety will not be guaranteed and you will 100% be robbed and killed by bandits.

Therefore, almost all the traveling merchants and businessmen who want to pass through Shuang'er Mountain safely have to hire escorts and bodyguards from the escort agency in Qianjia Village.

Passengers often traveled in groups to cross Shuang'er Mountain, or raised money to give to these peddlers and merchants, asking them to cross Shuang'er Mountain with them. Seeing that there was money to be made, these peddlers and merchants were also happy to see it happen, it was a win-win situation, and everyone was happy.

The escort agency and accompanying guards in Qianjia Village saw these passing travelers doing this but did not stop them. They looked down on the little money raised by these passing travelers. You have to know that the escort fees paid by these traveling merchants and businesses are not small. The more traveling merchants and businesses they escort, the more money they get. So they really look down on the little money raised by these travelers.

Li Erniu then detailed the information he had gathered over the past month. He explained that these itinerant merchants and businesses were primarily from Taiyuan and surrounding cities and counties. They sold local goods and brought goods back to the village. Their business was quite good, and they made a lot of money, so they didn't mind the escort fees from the escort agencies and accompanying guards in Qianjia Village.

It's just that these traveling merchants and businesses basically have connections. They basically have backgrounds in officials from Taiyuan and surrounding cities and counties, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and their families. It can also be said that the shops are opened by these people's families, and these traveling merchants and businesses are just working for them.

The two brothers said that money makes the world go round, and it was true. Some of them paid to find out, while others just treated them to a drink and told them everything.

Zhou Zheng once said that problems that can be solved with money are small problems.

The information obtained from the brothers Li Daniu and Li Erniu was very useful and played a key role in Zhou Zheng's overall planning of Shuang'er Mountain in the future.
