After saying this, Liu Jingmo observed Song Jinshu's expression.

Seeing that she was unmoved, he wondered if his elder sister was frightened silly.

"Don't worry too much, elder sister. I heard that Marquis Wen Ding has gone to Beizhou City to redress the injustice. I think peace will return soon."

Song Jinshu shook his head: "I'm not worried about that. Did you notice anything wrong when you passed by Shun'an Prefecture?"

She remembered that the Liang County Magistrate had a close relationship with the eldest princess, and the emperor would definitely deal with her followers.

Liu Jingmo thought about it carefully and really remembered that something was wrong.

"In the past, the streets of Shun'an Prefecture were bustling with people, but as we passed by, it seemed rather desolate. To avoid unnecessary complications, I hastened my journey out of the city."

"Could it be that something happened in Shun'an Prefecture?"

Yes, he remembered that the eldest princess lived in Shun'an Mansion for a period of time.

While they were talking, Datou came in with someone asking for a meeting.

"Sir, this man said he is the owner of the Fulai Inn and he wants to see you for an urgent matter."

Song Jinshu's eyes lit up: "Please come in!"

The owner of Fulai Inn is named Wu. He is wealthy and looks kind and amiable.

"Greetings, Lord Song. I hope you are well. I am the owner of the Fulai Inn in Shun'an Prefecture. I came to talk to you about something."

"Manager Wu, there's no need to be so reserved. Just tell me what you want to say!" Song Jinshu asked someone to serve tea.

After rushing all the way here, Shopkeeper Wu was indeed thirsty. He drank two cups in a row before slowly speaking.

"Sir, the Liang County Magistrate has been detained. The city is now in chaos. I am worried that something unexpected might happen. Please make preparations in advance."

This remark startled the two of them. Song Jinshu frowned. The thing she was most worried about had happened.

"Okay! I got it! Jing Mo, take care of Shopkeeper Wu for me!"

Liu Jingmo also knew that this matter was a big deal, so he took Manager Wu with him to settle the matter, and was thinking about adding a few more guards to the mansion.

Song Jinshu gathered all the servants in the county government office and informed them of what happened in Shun'an Prefecture.

Cao Dutou looked troubled. He thought that the county would not be able to resist the elite troops with only these misfits and failures.

Thinking this way, he told the truth and advised: "Sir, why don't we close the city gates tightly and wait until the court has made arrangements before opening the city gates."

Lu Chuan clasped his fists and said, "My former brothers in the escort agency are all martial artists, so we can stop them and fill in the numbers."

Wang Er also stood up and stated his position: "In the past few years, I have made many friends in the underworld. We can ask them to help us fight the enemy."

As his subordinates expressed their loyalty one by one, Song Jinshu rubbed his brows, feeling upset.

She was worried that if the city was in chaos, the bandits in the mountains would take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Nowadays, everyone in Shun'an Prefecture knows how rich Jingyang County is.

In the past, the city was guarded by soldiers and the bandits only dared to stop passers-by. Now that the Liang County Magistrate has fallen, those evil spirits will definitely take advantage of the situation to rob people.

Jingyang County will also become a popular destination.

"Captain Cao, you should lead the county yamen runners to intensify their training these days. Lu Chuan, you will take some money from the households and go to the escort agency to hire thugs. Wang Er, you are smart. During this time, take your people to patrol everywhere. If you find any abnormalities in the county, be sure to let me know!"

The duties were assigned and everyone had something to do, but Song Jinshu still felt uneasy.

She thought about it for a while and took out the warm jade given by Lu Ruoyu from the space.

Although I don't know if it will be useful, I still have to try it.

She took Zhang Yi to find Manager Wu, and the two met at the door of the inn.

Song Jinshu took the token and directly stated his purpose. Manager Wu was surprised for a very short time and immediately went down to give instructions.

After a while, he respectfully asked Song Jinshu to leave the city and go to a remote farm.

She had seen this ordinary little village before when she went out for inspection.

Shopkeeper Wu took her into the farm, turned left and right and entered the backyard. Zhang Yi stared at Shopkeeper Wu vigilantly, his hand never leaving the hilt of the sword.

Song Jinshu pursed her lips and followed silently. She believed that Lu Ruoyu would not harm her.

Shopkeeper Wu came to a rockery and seemed to move a few stones at random.

There was actually an underground secret passage in the middle of the rockery.

When Song Jinshu saw the secret passage for the first time, his heart was pounding and he followed Manager Wu down with excitement.

After entering the secret passage, Song Jinshu thought he would be short of oxygen, but he didn't expect that after going down, candles were lit on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the way clearly.

Shopkeeper Wu explained with a smile, "Don't be surprised, sir. I think the master gave you the token because he must have revealed his identity to you."

"You are our master now. If you see anything later, please don't be afraid."

Song Jinshu's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this just the scene of people dividing the land?

Apparently she was overthinking it...

After walking for an incense stick of time, they finally came out and saw a forest in front of them.

Apart from the towering trees, there are only houses made of wood.

What surprised her most was that in a large open space, a team of thousands of people were training with their upper bodies naked.

Zhang Yi frowned as he watched this scene. Who was secretly training troops here?

Manager Wu politely directed Song Jinshu to the open space. The trainers had noticed her a long time ago, and seeing that it was Manager Wu who brought her, they did not drive her away.

"Everyone come here! This is our little mistress. From now on, you will all be under her command!"

Although the big men were puzzled, as death warriors, obedience was the first rule.

Song Jinshu looked around, pointed at the most burly man among them and asked, "What's your name?"

"My Lord! This is Subordinate Number 26!"

Song Jinshu was stunned for a moment: "What's your name?"

The man was embarrassed, he had no name.

As if aware of the man's embarrassment, Manager Wu explained it to Song Jinshu, and only then did he understand.

While feeling pity for the man, I also cursed the evil feudal society.

"My last name is Song. From now on, you should follow my last name and choose a name for yourselves!"

The man was confused for a moment, lowered his head and did not answer. Since they entered here, they were not allowed to have their own thoughts.

He didn't know what to name himself.

Song Jinshu sighed slightly and ignored his hesitation. She casually selected twenty people.

This number will not attract attention, and she will put them out in the open in the future.

From now on, he will be her right-hand man!

Shopkeeper Wu sighed inwardly. Lord Song had a sharp eye. These twenty people were the best among them.

No wonder the master loves her so much. It is very likely that they will have to change masters in the future.

Song Jinshu and others returned along the same route. With her thugs, she walked with great vigor and dominance.

Even though she has chosen only a few people, one of them is worth ten of the others. Add Zhang Yi and his nine brothers, and she has thirty people in total.

There were no more than fifty bandits in the group, but she was not panicked at all.

Let’s not talk about how Song Jinshu will explain the origins of this group of people after returning.

Shun'an Prefecture has been in chaos since the Liang County Magistrate was arrested.

The city was in chaos, and residents with a sense of crisis were already plotting a way out.

When the Liang County Magistrate's family waited for him for a long time but he still didn't show up, they realized that he was ready to sacrifice himself to save his entire family.

He cried for a few sentences on the dock and then left quietly.
