[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

Han Heming had already said so much, and his words were filled with unquestionable majesty and justice. The middle-aged man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he felt that it was not appropriate to argue at this time, so he shut up awkwardly and didn't want to say anything more.

As for the common people who had originally joined in the commotion, they were frightened by Song Yanzhi's sharp and warning words. They were all silent and dared not even to breathe.

The scene, which was as noisy as a vegetable market just now, suddenly became quiet, with only a few suppressed coughs and people's slightly rapid breathing due to nervousness.

Seeing the crowd gradually disperse, Song Yanzhi frowned even more tightly. She knew in her heart that this matter would not end so easily. Since these people dared to cause trouble, they would definitely not let it go.

They haven't done anything to those men who are causing trouble yet, and these people are already making a big fuss. If something happens to those men, they will probably be surrounded by everyone here, and it will be even more difficult to escape.

It's not that they can't use force to suppress the rebellion, but doing so is the worst option after all. Once they use violence, it will be inappropriate if the news gets out. Others don't know the reason and will definitely say that they are bullying the weak, and then the reputation they have worked so hard to build up will be ruined. So they have to think of a proper way.

"Hu Zi, go check the origins of that middle-aged man just now." Song Yanzhi turned to look at Hu Zi beside her, her eyes showing seriousness and eagerness. The key to this matter might lie with that mysterious middle-aged man, and she had to find out his background as soon as possible.

"Lanshan, you must guard the convoy. No civilians are allowed to approach our convoy." Song Yanzhi looked at Lanshan again and warned him solemnly. The situation is unclear now, and the safety of the convoy is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Banniang, Hu Zi and Lan Shan followed her instructions, each received a task and took action quickly.

Song Yanzhi and Han Heming then turned around and returned to the carriage. When Han Heming raised his eyes, he saw Song Yanzhi's slightly furrowed brows, which seemed to hide an unrelieved sorrow. His heart ached, and he comforted her softly.

"My lady, don't worry too much. I am here for you. No matter what happens, I will protect you and our whole family. Just relax." His voice was gentle and firm, trying to dispel the haze in Song Yanzhi's heart.

However, Song Yanzhi didn't relax despite Han Heming's words of comfort. She shook her head slightly, her brows still furrowed as she said solemnly, "No, don't you think these people are acting too strangely? It's as if someone is behind the scenes directing them. Otherwise, how could they be so bold and work so together to cause trouble?"

When Han Heming heard what Song Yanzhi said, he frowned tightly. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was something strange about this matter, and he was afraid that there was some ulterior conspiracy behind it.

Soon, Hu Zi returned with a serious look on his face. His steps were hurried, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face. As soon as he arrived, he said hurriedly, "Master and Madam, we found out that the middle-aged man is the military advisor of Longhu Mountain."

"Longhu Mountain? What is this place and what is it used for?" Song Yanzhi was slightly stunned. She really didn't know what Longhu Mountain was, so she looked at Hu Zi quietly, waiting for him to explain it to her further.

Seeing this, Hu Zi said nervously, "Madam, you don't know that Longhu Mountain is a famous bandit den in Yicheng!

Their boss Tian Meng is no ordinary person, he is a cruel and ruthless person!

In just half a year, he relied on all kinds of insidious, cunning and heinous means, such as coercion, inducement, burning, killing and looting, etc., to transform a small bandit nest with only dozens of people into a huge force with thousands of troops!

Nowadays, within this radius of a hundred miles, just the mention of Longhu Mountain and Tian Meng's name can really make people tremble with fear and tremble with fear! "

"Let's talk about those ten men we captured. They are from Longhu Mountain! I guess the reason they mixed in with the crowd is probably because they came for our convoy."

Song Yanzhi and her team's caravan was loaded with food, silk and satin fabrics, and boxes of glittering gold and silver jewelry. To those bandits who robbed houses all day long, this was a piece of fat meat! So, being targeted by these tigers and wolves was not a rare thing.

Hu Zi told all the information he had heard in one go. After he finished, he stood quietly aside, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing the master and mistress's thoughts.

Although Song Yanzhi and her team had guards, they only had about a hundred guards in total. Compared to the 2,800+ people in Longhu Mountain, the number was far less. If they really came into contact with the bandits, it would be extremely dangerous.

"Huzi, go tell Lanshan this news. We must be vigilant tonight. Don't let anything go wrong."

Song Yanzhi reacted quickly and gave orders decisively, saying that precautions must be taken in advance to prevent the bandits from launching a sneak attack at night.

"You rest in the carriage. Hu Zi and I will go outside to take a look."

Han Heming looked at Song Yanzhi with a look of worry. He was worried that Hu Zi would go alone. If something really happened tonight, Lan Shan might not be able to handle it alone, so he decided to go outside with Hu Zi to patrol and ensure the safety of the convoy.

As expected, night fell quietly, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. In this quiet night, something went wrong with the convoy.

Song Yanzhi was originally sleeping soundly in the carriage, and was woken up by Baoqin in a daze.

"Madam! Madam! Wake up quickly, something happened!" Baoqin shouted anxiously, with a hint of fear in her voice.

Song Yanzhi was a little dazed by this sudden disturbance. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked vaguely, "What...what happened? What happened?"

Baoqin gasped and hurriedly explained, "Madam, this is bad! Our carriage has been surrounded by those people again!"

Song Yanzhi, who was still confused just now, was instantly awakened by Baoqin's words. As she expected, those people would not give up easily.
