Feng Yu Heng put the tranquilizer gun back into her space and looked at Ban Zou with a bit of provocation. Ban Zou's lips twitched, but he did not say anything. Feng Yu Heng's hidden weapon was something that he had always wanted. Every time he saw her use it, Ban Zou felt that all his years of training had been for nothing. However, when he thought about it, she was his master. No matter what, a master should be a bit stronger than a subordinate, so he felt at ease.
The four people floated down from the roof and swaggered into the room. The private soldiers guarding the door felt that nothing could happen within Ji 'an County. This small courtyard was so small that even an extra chicken could be discovered by them, so they did not pay too much attention to it. However, they did not know that four people with excellent movement techniques had snuck in. Without making a single sound, they were like ghosts, silently knocking out the people they were supposed to protect.
Ban Zou pointed at the two people on the bed and used his eyes to ask Feng Yu Heng how to deal with them. Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit and did not directly reply. Instead, she walked forward and first pulled out the two tranquilizer needles and threw them back into her space. Then, in front of the two maidservants and the hidden guard, she pulled off the embroidered clothed man's … pants.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan covered their faces. What was the young miss doing? Ban Zou watched as Feng Yu Heng took out another needle and quickly pricked the county governor's nephew's family jewels a few times. Then the silver needle entered her sleeve. Feng Yu Heng turned around and quietly said: "Help him put on his pants and then carry him. We're taking a trip to the county governor's manor."
The four people left as soon as they said they would, completely ignoring the brainless private soldiers outside. It was not until they walked out of the street that Huang Quan said: "Those private soldiers are just decorations, right? Why are they all so stupid? How can they protect their master and their fief like this? "
Feng Yu Heng shrugged her shoulders: "They're just private soldiers from a small place. How strong do you expect them to be? They're just a bit stronger and have a bit of strength. It's impossible for them to compare to the soldiers in the army. But this is also good. If we really have to fight, won't it save us a lot of trouble? "
"What did you do to him?" Ban Zou did not care too much about the ability of the private soldiers. Relatively speaking, he was more concerned about what effect Feng Yu Heng had just had on the provincial governor's nephew's family jewels.
Feng Yu Heng curled her lips. "It's nothing. He's still alive, but he can't use his penis anymore."
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan giggled. If it weren't for the dead of night, they would have clapped their hands and cheered. However, Ban Zou held a different opinion from them, saying: "This kind of matter can be resolved with a single strike. Next time, don't use such a direct method." What was this? A young lady had taken off a man's pants and seen that thing with her own eyes. No matter how he thought about it, he felt disgusted.
"Using a knife is too bloody, and the target is too big. For example, you are carrying him on your back now. If you use a knife, your body will be stained with blood. "
Ban Zou trembled, "Don't say it. The more you say it, the more disgusting it gets. If I don't use a knife, I can twist it with my hands. There's no need for you to personally do it. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, just say it. There's no need for master to personally do it. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, feeling that this hidden guard was quite sensible this time.
The courtyard they had just been in was considered a poor district in Ji 'an County. There was still some distance from the provincial governor's manor. The group carefully walked along the streets. As they approached the area where the wealthy were concentrated, the number of patrolling private soldiers increased. However, avoiding them was not a problem.
Along the way, they saw many private soldiers' residences. These private soldiers had already become an important part of Ji 'an County's commoners. They surrounded the provincial governor's manor and occupied a third of the county's territory. The shops that the Teng Family had attracted were all concentrated on the main street that they had just walked through. There were also the residents who had been attracted to build residences in Ji 'an County. They also lived not far from the center of the county. The location was quite good and was not as remote as the home of the young wife from before.
Feng Yu Heng thought that the poorer residents in the county should be the residents of Ji 'an County. They lived in a remote area with very few people managing them. As for the commoners who came later, although the land was provided free of charge by the county, since they had the ability to build their own residences, and some of them even built two-sectioned residences, it meant that they had a certain economic foundation. In addition, they had been enticed by the provincial governor's manor, so the area they were given was naturally much better.
She couldn't help but feel curious. She saw that the provincial governor's manor was just 50 steps ahead and was already within sight, yet she had her eye on a two-sectioned residence. She arranged for them to go in and investigate first.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan did not have any objections, but Ban Zou had to suffer. He was still carrying one on his shoulders. However, carrying one more person was not difficult for him. Tonight, they had infiltrated Ji 'an County in order to investigate the situation in the county. They had already visited the homes of the poor and had also looked around the shops from the outside. Now that they had encountered the homes of the wealthy, they should go in and take a look.
Their opinions were the same. With Feng Yu Heng taking the lead, they flew into the courtyard.
The courtyard was very quiet. There was not even a single servant on night watch. The residence looked very imposing from the outside, but once they entered, they discovered that it was actually just that. It was unknown whether it was because the residence was built in a hurry or because the owner liked this kind of simple style, but the large courtyard had no other decorations other than the ground being paved with green bricks. They couldn't even be bothered to plant a few trees. It was completely empty and looked like a haunted residence.
The group felt their way to the two-sectioned courtyard and finally found living people in the main room. It was a middle-aged couple. They were not asleep and were currently leaning against the side of the bed as they talked. The woman was slightly plump, but her appearance was kind. However, there was a trace of sadness between her brows. At this moment, she was complaining to her husband: "Back then, County Chief Teng persuaded us to move here. He even said that the land was free and that we could build our own residence. He also said that Ji 'an County was a paradise and that our lives here would be much better. However, husband, don't you think that we were cheated? Once we enter Ji 'an County, we can no longer leave. I wanted to go to Yu Zhou during the day. It was time to collect the money for the shops there, but the soldiers guarding the Ji' an County did not allow me to leave. They said that if we wanted to buy things, we could only buy them in the county. Everything that Yu Zhou had, Ji 'an County had. If we wanted to collect money, we had to ask for permission from the county chief. Only after obtaining approval could we leave the county. This batch of documents is fine, but the things in the county are too expensive. Our family originally had some wealth, but now it is about to be emptied. How will we live in the future? "
"Sigh!" The man also let out a long sigh. His expression was dejected.
The woman was a bit worried, "What's the use of just sighing? Think of something! It's all your fault. Back then, you wanted to take advantage of this land and agreed to move here with County Chief Teng. Now, our families are basically being detained. We can't leave even if we want to. What do you think we should do? "
The man patted the bed and finally told his wife the truth: "How could we want to take advantage of this? I was afraid that you would be scared so I didn't dare to tell you. In reality, it was clearly the Teng family that wanted our family's business and wanted to take it for themselves. I refused many times, but Ji 'an County has private soldiers. How could we be their opponent? After the business was stolen, County Chief Teng said that he wouldn't take it for free and would use this land as an exchange. He also said that we must build two or more residences in order to revitalize Ji 'an County. "
"What?" The woman was shocked, "The Teng family stole our business? Then why would I go and collect the money? How could I collect the money? Aren't they robbing us? "
The man quickly covered his wife's mouth in fear, "Be quiet. Do you think this is Yu Zhou? The walls have ears. If the Teng family heard this, let alone our business, we might not even be able to keep our lives! "
The woman covered her face and began to cry. She was as helpless as she could be.
"Ai!" The man sighed again and said: "Don't cry. It's not just us. Isn't every family the same? Everyone that moved here from Yu Zhou to build their own residences had their businesses taken away by the Teng family. Otherwise, even if they were given the land for free, who would be willing to move here? Also, what do you mean for free? There isn't even a deed. Now that we've built our residences, they can take it back whenever they want. Even if we want to reason with them, we have nowhere to go. "
The woman felt even more sullen when she heard this. Thinking about it, she asked with tears in her eyes: "Didn't they say that Ji 'an County was already given away? It was given to Princess Ji 'an, but why hasn't the princess come yet? Do you think that if she comes, the situation here will be better? At the very least, it won't be like the Teng family, right? "
The man nodded and said: "It shouldn't be as overbearing as the Teng family. Although we are far from the capital, we can still hear some things about the Princess Ji 'an. I heard that her medical skills are high, she built a Hundred Herb Hall, and she has helped many poor people. Perhaps the Princess Ji 'an is too busy. She has to practice medicine and fight wars, so she doesn't have time to care about this place. Ai. "
The two of them let out a long sigh. They didn't know how to continue their lives in the future. Feng Yu Heng's group of four, who were hiding in the shadows, finally understood. It turned out that the people here were all forced to come. Not only were they forced to live in Ji 'an County, but they were also forced to build two or more residences. This was considered construction for the fief.
She rubbed her nose. No matter what was said, after the fief was tossed around by the Teng family, it saved her a lot of trouble in terms of construction. Originally, she was worried that this place would be like a deserted village. She would have to find people to plan the county and find people to build houses, but now it saved her a lot of trouble. Of course, she would still need to provide compensation in the future. This would depend on how well the people were willing to cooperate.
Feng Yu Heng had an understanding of the situation. The group headed toward the governor's manor with all their strength.
The governor's manor's defenses were relatively tight. They didn't know if it was normally like this. In short, Ban Zou observed and told them: "There are no less than ten hidden guards at the main entrance, and this doesn't include the ones inside."
Huang Quan was a bit worried: "How about you guys go in first? I'm worried that you'll be a burden."
Ban Zou glanced at her and nodded very cooperatively, "I feel like this plan is very good."
Huang Quan fiercely glared at him, but she didn't say anything. Her qinggong was the worst out of the group. Even Feng Yu Heng, who had only begun learning qinggong in recent years, was better than her. However, compared to Wang Chuan, Huang Quan's swordsmanship was a level higher. This was what they meant by each having their own strengths!
The four of them were too big of a target, so Feng Yu Heng simply left Wang Chuan outside. Only she and Ban Zou could enter. The two maidservants didn't say anything. First, this was not the place to argue. Second, they had an understanding of their young miss' abilities. There was no need to worry about a small governor's manor.
The two maidservants remained outside to provide support. Ban Zou glanced at Feng Yu Heng and asked: "Are we going in separately or together?"
Feng Yu Heng gave a strange smile, "Of course we're going in separately. You go first."
Ban Zou nodded. His figure flashed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Feng Yu Heng giggled and said to the two maidservants: "You two, turn around." When Wang Chuan and Huang Quan turned around, she didn't stop for a moment and directly entered the space … …
