After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 62 The Hero and the Thief

Qianru followed closely behind Lu Fang with Shangguan Yuan on his arm.

The merchant, surnamed Zhou Mingji, was born in Yun County, Luo County, and made a living selling precious supplements such as bird’s nest and ginseng.

He recognized several of the men from the corpse identification notice posted at the entrance of the town as robbers from Linjun Luo County.

On the other side of Jifeng Mountain in the southwest of Mengqiao Station is Luo County.

Zhou Jidao said that he had been robbed by this group of robbers several times. Last year, he passed through Tongchi Mountain, his lair, tremblingly, but nothing happened.

I thought it was the "King of the Mountain" inside who was merciful and convenient, but it turned out that they all died here.

Zhou Ji also mentioned the physical characteristics of several bandits who robbed him, including those with severed fingers and missing front teeth, which were exactly the same as those recorded in the government files.

There are various indications that it was this group of bandits from Tongchi Mountain in Los Angeles that attacked Shangguanyuan and Antai at the inn last year.

There is a shortcut from Tongchi Mountain to Mengqiao Station, which is to pass through Yun County, which is adjacent to Luo County and Gui County, and then cross Jifeng Mountain. It only takes one day to cross the mountain quickly.

Zhou Ji said that he walked this road with his father when he was young, but after Jifeng Mountain was occupied by others, he had to make a detour to Gui County.

Zhou Ji said that Jifeng Mountain was occupied, but everyone had never heard of bandits nearby.

"That's not a bandit, it's a group of defeated soldiers from the previous dynasty who hid deep in the mountains and haven't surrendered yet. After they occupied the mountain, they blocked the mountain road and lived on the cliff, and the court couldn't do anything about it."

If Lu Fang realized something, "The leader of that group of remnants, is his surname Liu?"

"The banner with the word 'Liu' hanging on their cottage."

Lu Fang asked Zhou Ji to show the replica dagger he asked for from Shangguan Yuan, "Have you ever seen a similar weapon?"

"This is almost well-known in Yun County. Liu's army's weapons are all engraved with the character 'Liu'. I heard that they have an unwritten rule that they will leave behind a dagger if they are favored by anyone." As a token, if you need to repay your kindness in the future, you can use this thing to go up the mountain to ask for it back."

After Lu Fang asked about his orders, Zhou Jiling made a detailed transcript, and invited Shangguanyuan and Qianru back to the post station together.

"Lu Sizhi, did you already know who the character 'Liu' refers to?"

Lu Fang said confidently: "To tell you the truth, General, Lu has always liked to hear some anecdotes, and he happened to know about the 'Liu' army on Jifeng Mountain. They are still relatives of you!"

"Has a relationship with me? Never heard of it."

"Oh?" Lu Fang was a little surprised, but he expressed his understanding after a while, "Although you are blood relatives, each of you is your master. It is only natural that the general has never heard of it."

Shangguan Yuan really hadn't heard of it, it wasn't Lu Fang who thought he was joking.

Only now did he know that his grandfather, uncle and aunt were hidden on Jifeng Mountain, and that these people were all loyal ministers of the previous dynasty.

Lu Fang said that "Liu"'s army is very friendly to the people besides occupying the mountains, and they often do some things to punish rape and eliminate evil.

This is also the root cause of the imperial court's failure to encircle and suppress several times, and the extrajudicial grace.

Hearing this, Qianru suddenly realized, "Master Lu didn't bring us here to identify the corpse, but he wanted us to go to Jifeng Mountain to find out the truth for you."

"Madam is worthy of being a famous talented woman, Lu Mou bows down!"

Seeing that Shangguan Yuan didn't object, Qianru took over the matter.

Lu Fang also wrote down the purpose of their trip and handed it to the couple.
