The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"We still have to be careful."

Although Wang Ziteng, who had been in Jinling for a long time, did not know Qingfeng Village very well, he had heard of it.

The bandit cry of "a swarm of bees" is not just a random cry.

Some time ago, when he was ordered to go to the capital, the official ship he took was charged a ferry fee by the people of Qingfeng Village at the Haizhou ferry.

This shows the arrogance of Qingfeng Village!

But its combat power should not be underestimated.

After hearing Wang Ziteng's words, everyone fell silent.

Shi Lei, the son of Duke Shan, nodded in agreement.

"I think what Lord Wang said makes sense. Qingfeng Village was able to grow from nothing to such a huge place in just six months. It is definitely not an ordinary village!"

"After entering Yangzhou, we should be careful and vigilant at all times!"

Niu Ben was disdainful when he heard this, curled his lips and said,

"Tsk! If you're scared, go home and hug your wife and concubine!"

"In my opinion, the bandits in Qingfeng Village only bully passing merchant ships and ordinary people."

"We have several official ships loaded with soldiers, at least a thousand men and horses, heading south. I'm afraid that if those thieves from Qingfeng Village saw us, they would be scared out of their wits and wouldn't dare show their faces!"

"Hahaha, what Brother Niu said is true!"

"Of course we are. We are a noble family of the Great Qian Dynasty. How can we be compared to those peasants?"

"That makes sense! The Qingfeng Village is good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but when they see us, the serious officers and soldiers, I'm afraid they will be scared to death."

"Hahaha!"

"..."

Hearing everyone's argument, Wang Ziteng frowned slightly.

There is always an indescribable weirdness in my heart, but I can't put it into words.

He naturally knew about the Qingfeng Village blocking the river and collecting boat fees when he was in Jinling.

Not only a group of passing merchant ships, but even official ships and the bandits from Qingfeng Village dared to charge fees blatantly.

However, most people, like Wang Ziteng in the past, believed that Qingfeng Village was backed by a family in Shenjing, or even...

Therefore, I didn't take it seriously and just thought of it as spending money to avoid disaster.

During my trip to the capital, after some investigation,

Only then did Wang Ziteng realize that there was no powerful background behind Qingfeng Village.

This made Wang Ziteng sigh in his heart at the rampant arrogance of the rebels in Qingfeng Village!

But since entering Yangzhou, everything has been calm.

Could it be that Qingfeng Village really learned that the imperial court wanted to wipe them out and fled in panic?

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng shook his head slightly.

Qingfengzhai began to recruit soldiers on a large scale in Yangzhou, which had already endangered the safety of the imperial court. Its business territory was almost all in Yangzhou.

In addition, Qingfeng Village has strong combat power and arrogant style of behavior, so how could they possibly escape?

Or is Qingfeng Village brewing some other big conspiracy?

But seeing that everyone was a little impatient,

Wang Ziteng shook his head secretly and pondered for a moment.

He nodded to everyone and said,

"Okay! In that case, let's go back and rest."

"However, everyone must remain vigilant along the way and be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time."

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

……

After a few days,

The fleet led by Wang Ziteng and his party sailed straight into Jinling.

Wang Ziteng, who had been feeling uneasy all the way, finally felt relieved.

When passing through Yangzhou, Wang Ziteng was worried about what might happen in Yangzhou.

Therefore, he did not stay, but directly ordered the fleet to sail south along the river to Nanjing.

The journey went smoothly without any delay.

This made Wang Ziteng deeply suspicious.

What exactly was the Yangzhou bandit group planning?

So after entering Jinling,

Wang Ziteng didn't even have time to return home.

He immediately took the imperial edict to the Jinling Imperial Guard camp to hand over the military power.

With the dual wishes of the Emperor Taishang and Emperor Xinglong,

In addition, the group of people brought with them from the capital were the second generation of nobles who had planned to share in the merits of suppressing bandits.
