A hidden village under the cover of mountains and forests, Hidden Forest Village.

The group of people quickly walked towards the meeting hall in the village.

The person walking in front was wearing the clothes of a scholar and was surrounded by a group of soldiers. This person was none other than Mr. Mo Shan who had left Heming Academy.

Fang Moshan's remarks were made public in Heming Academy, which attracted people from the Jinan Prefecture's Chief Envoy to come to the academy to investigate.

Fang Moshan had also anticipated this situation and hid secretly for several days, until some people in Yanzhou Prefecture died because they were suppressed by the government for calling for money to repair the river. He discussed with the people who secretly protected him and turned here.

The people who secretly guarded him, apart from Chief Zhou Shan of Heming Academy, were the Qin family who held military power in Qingzhou Prefecture.

At that moment, Mr. Mo Shan hurried to the village assembly hall. As soon as he arrived at the door of the assembly hall, Sun Wenjing hurriedly greeted him.

After Sun Wenjing's family narrowly escaped death, they settled here. He and Fang Moshan once traveled together on the way to Beijing to take the exam. Although Sun Wenjing was not a Jinshi, the two exchanged letters continuously for many years.

Now when old friends meet, they have to have a good deal of understanding.

But Fang Moshan took his hand and said, "Brother Xian and Brother Fool can spend the night together, but the situation outside is tense, let's talk about it later."

Sun Wenjing naturally said hello, and everyone in the meeting hall also stood up and responded.

In addition to Sun Wenjing and his wife's uncle, Mr. Jiang Ding'an, other people who spoke out for the former crown prince but were persecuted by Xing Landong in the palace were also gathered here. Qin Guanzhong was also waiting here, not to mention Qin Shen.

Everyone bowed and took their seats, and the first thing they did was tell them about the situation in Yanzhou and other places.

"The palace not only closed its eyes to the sufferings of the people, but only focused on pleasure. It even ordered the Shandong Chief Envoy to bring Xishan wood to the palace to build a hot spring palace."

Fang Moshan looked at the crowd and raised his hand to point to the northwest.

"The people cannot protect their grain fields and houses, and they will be arrested to cut wood for the construction of the palace. If the river breaks its banks this summer, the palace will not be able to protect the officials and the people, and maybe the taxes will not be reduced next year.

Sheng. The emperor of the Forbidden City really committed crimes against both the government and the public!"

If you say this outside, it's like decapitation.

But here, in this meeting hall filled with supporters of His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince, it has attracted everyone's common hatred and resentment.

Qin Shen looked at it and also fell into it.

Sun Wenjing asked immediately.

"What should we do to protect this side's safety?"

Since Mr. Mo Shan came in person, he had a countermeasure.

He said immediately.

"This matter is not difficult. We scholars don't have the skills, but we still have the ability to gather people's support with a pen and a mouth! We hide in the crowd and help the people fight against the court. The court does not allocate funds for disaster relief.

Just to build the dam, don’t even think about getting any good Xishan wood from various places in Shandong and transporting it to Gyeonggi. We must not let the guy from the Forbidden City continue to act like this!"

This idea is exactly what everyone thinks.

At that moment, everyone in the meeting hall began to discuss, and the words became more and more heated. I felt that the fire was finally burning, dispelling the dark clouds above my head, and letting the light shine in!

Everyone discussed that they should first persuade the workers who were dragged away to log logging to escape, and then hide them among the crowd, and then go around Shandong and shout for the government to allocate funds for disaster relief. The officials appointed by the government could not deliver the goods and could only report the matter to the capital for decision.

But there is an important problem here.

The old gentleman Jiang Ding'an looked at everyone.

"The age doesn't matter, but we are all the people Xing Landong was ordered to arrest. How can we get out of Yinlin Village easily?"

As long as they step out of Yinlin Village, they will most likely be arrested by the officers and soldiers, but if they don't go, they may not be able to achieve what they plan to do.

Everyone thought about this and couldn't help but fell silent, but heard Shen Ding's voice coming from the side.

"Don't worry, everyone. The Qin family has soldiers that no one else can use. They can only use them for one purpose -"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked in the same direction.

Sun Wenjing noticed the man, old Mr. Jiang Ding'an's cloudy eyes lit up, and Mr. Mo Shan's lips showed a smile.

Qin Guanzhong also turned his head and looked around him, and saw that the young man beside him had grown taller and taller at some time. The small temple in the mountain village could not conceal his elegance.

Qin Shen said every word.

"For the people."

*

Looking at it from a distance, the forest was actually burning. The fire started up with the wind and burned all the way up the mountain. The woodcutters dispersed in a hurry. Even if the officers and soldiers blocked it with guns, they could not stop it under the intensity of the fire.

Xing Landong, the deputy envoy of Shandong Province, who had just been appointed as the Imperial Envoy of Gongmu, closed his eyes at this moment.

His square and broad face, with his tightly clenched molars, looked ferocious under the firelight.

The local magistrate was timid, "Xing, Master Xing, what can we do now that everyone has escaped?"

Xing Landong's Fang Kuo face showed a bit more cruelty.

"Grasp!"

To arrest, not only to capture the fleeing loggers, but also to capture those who set fire, to capture those who took advantage of this moment to threaten the imperial court and try to protect the loggers.

How could Xing Landong not know what these people were going to do?

They lit fires all over Shandong to restrain the imperial court. Of course the Holy One on the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City would be angry, but who could the fire fall on?

Naturally, it fell on him, the imperial envoy!

Xing Landong had been depressed for many years and went to the army with Qin Guanzhong, but Qin Guanzhong always suppressed him.

Later, Qin Guanzhong returned to Qingzhou to serve as the commander of the third rank, but he could only do a small job as a fifth rank in the capital.

If in the past few years, I had not climbed into the empress's natal family path and married the empress's cousin, and then prospered and gained the respect of the saints, how could I have turned over?

Just yesterday, the father-in-law sent someone to send a letter, saying that there was chaos everywhere and the Holy Spirit was very angry. He ordered him to get the job done and not to touch the Holy Spirit's brow at this time.

But in the blink of an eye, the good wood from Xishan failed to be sent out of Shandong smoothly, and instead the forest caught fire.

Xing Landong was so angry that he mobilized troops from a thousand households that night to arrest people everywhere.

Chaos broke out all over Shandong, but the arrests were made like crazy, but not a single key person was caught. Instead, at the critical moment, there were people hiding in the dark who came to help and helped those people escape.

sky.

No matter how stupid Xing Landong is, he still knows that the same people who saved those remnants of the former princelings came from the same place——

It was the Qin family's private soldier he had been looking for!

Xing Landong was filled with hatred, but the Qin family's private soldiers were secretly hiding from him, and the day he couldn't catch the Qin family, the Qin family would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

And his manpower was lost one after another, especially the Guo brothers who were sent to capture the remnants of the former princelings and who were stationed in Qingzhou. They all lost contact in the mountains. And there was a fire in the mountains. You don't have to think about it.

has been destroyed.

The Guo brothers, especially his younger brother Guo Zhong, are the smartest people around him. They are very familiar with the current situation of the Qin family in Qingzhou. The death of people now really hurts his flesh and blood!

This time, how can we defeat the private soldiers of the Qin family hiding in secret?!

A house in an alley.

Sun Wenjing found someone to distribute all the propaganda they wrote.

Everyone came back by now, and Sun Wenjing ordered them one by one, and there were many.

His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stroked his goatee on his lips with his thumb and forefinger, "Thanks to the secret guard of the divine soldiers, I was able to go as smoothly as I did today."

The magic soldiers he was secretly guarding were naturally the private soldiers of the Qin family raised by Qin Shen.

At this time, in a dense forest in the mountains and fields, Qin Shen counted the men and horses, left several leading generals behind and gave a few more instructions, asking them to cooperate well with Sun Wenjing and others in their work to promote the people.

But after everything was done, a general in dark blue armor stayed behind for the time being.

This man's brows were furrowed. Although he was in his early twenties, he looked like a man in his thirties because he was often worried.

Qin Shen saw that he was left alone and called him over.

"Wei You, what's the matter?"

"Young Master!" General Wei Xing saluted, "I have a matter that I have investigated many times and found something wrong with, so I came here to report it to you."

Qin Shen frowned slightly, "Is it related to the last silence between the two mountains?"

When Wei You saw that the young master had hit the mark immediately, he couldn't help but feel even more solemn.

After rescuing Sun Wenjing and others last time, those people sent by Xing Landong were all lured away from the mountain by Qin Shen and led between the two mountains.

Wei You led his troops to ambush them.

All those people were wiped out in the deep mountains and dense forests, and even when the forest fire broke out, there was no trace left.

But Wei You was quite meticulous in his work. After that, he specially asked people to count the corpses, and there was no problem with the number of people. He asked people to count them carefully again, but found that one of the corpses was not human.

, but a wild boar in the mountains.

Wei You secretly thought something was wrong, so he went over to examine the body in person and found something even worse.

"Sir, someone has escaped from birth, and this person is most likely the younger brother of the Guo brothers who has been hiding in Qingzhou for a long time, Guo Zhong! This person has some brains, and there is a high probability that he escaped, and counting the time

, maybe he has escaped back to the Xing family."

Of course Qin Shen knew this person.
