C3 They Walked Right into the Trap

Qinn was clearly still feeling indignant about what had just happened, but she had no choice but to return to Qinzhou. "Miss, it's true that the poor and the wicked are unruly. These bandits only think that we are easy to bully. If it was someone with some influence, they would not dare to be so presumptuous."

"The Emperor also did not put in much effort to manage this place. This can't be blamed on them." Lin Qingqian only felt that it did not matter if there were bandits. As long as they did not do anything excessive, it was all for the sake of a few small amounts of money.

Qinzhou, when the Emperor heard the name of this place, he had a headache for a while. At the beginning, who knows how many officials were sent to and fro. But no matter what kind of people he sent, they did not disappear for no reason. In the end, the Emperor was really helpless. I had to turn a blind eye to this place. As long as there was no rebellion here, they would be left alone.

After a long time, the Qinzhou naturally became a gray zone for officials.

Not to mention how the Imperial Court treated them, even the lives of the civilians of Qinzhou were not easy to live here. The biggest problem was the lack of land. The farmers worked hard in the fields and did not have any harvests. As long as they did not have enough food and food, there was no need to talk about anything else. The Emperor sent Lin Qingqian here was also thinking of letting herself be left to fend for herself.

"Miss." The old uncle in the carriage saw that the two people behind were talking happily and also interrupted.

"The group of bandits that we just met is considered lucky. There are a few people who can read words among them. It seemed that their character wasn't bad at all. " There are too few people who can walk in and out of this place alive and well. " Although the old uncle said so, Compared to the sudden return of the young lady to normal, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Qingqian frowned. According to common sense, even if the land lacked nutrition, it would at most be the Zhuang family's harvest that was not good. It was impossible to say that there was no harvest at all.

Unless...

Lin Qingqian seemed to have thought of something and asked Servant Girl who was beside her, "Qinn, Is there a river in this neighborhood?

"Water?" Qinn was confused by the question. She stuck her head out of the carriage and her eyes lit up. She pointed to the front and said excitedly.

"Miss, you are not only smart, but also godly! Look, there is a river in front of us."

Lin Qingqian heard Qinn say this and also lifted the curtain to look outside. Not far from them, Sure enough, there was a river. Lin Qingqian squinted her eyes with all her might to get a rough look. But from the looks of it, it was more appropriate to call it a river or a stream. There was not a hint of green around the river. Instead, there was a dead silence that was devoid of life.

The current was not rapid, so they could not hear the sound of the waves. Lin Qingqian had a forty to fifty percent confidence in Qinzhou, but she would not know the exact details until she arrived. She quickly urged the coachman to continue moving forward. Just as she was about to pull her head back, she heard the sounds of conversation coming from the carriage behind her.

The one who spoke was Lin Qingqian's birth mother, Madame Sun and Sun Qian. She was just taking a nap when Mammy happily told her young miss that she was cured.

"Mammy, are you saying that the silly girl I gave birth to has recovered?" Lin Qingqian could hear that although there was surprise in her voice, it was mostly cold and dismissive.

The birth of a new life in the Shang Shu Residence was originally a joyous matter, but when she thought of her silly girl, Madame Sun kept gritting her teeth. She did not know what sins she had committed in her previous life. Having this idiot caused her to be unable to be a proper wife. From the day her daughter was born, It was as if he was deliberately taking revenge on himself, preventing him from enjoying another day of happiness.

"That's right, Miss. This old servant unintentionally heard that Miss is already able to communicate with normal people in a organized and clear manner. She looks completely different from the way she usually does not know anyone." Mammy naturally knew Madam's thoughts. It was just that she had fallen to this extent and had an inseparable connection with Madam's house, which was already empty.

"So what? Could it be that with her good condition, we can still live the same life as before? We really can't catch up with the heat even if we eat sh * t. " Now that we have no way out, what's the use of suddenly becoming geniuses? " When Madame Sun spoke, the corner of her mouth almost reached the sky. She no longer cared about her daughter's life or death. She only cared that everything now was caused by her daughter.

Madame Sun's emotions became more and more agitated. Her body trembled and she coughed.

Mammy saw that she could not bear to see it and wanted to comfort her, "This old servant knows that Madam is also a person with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. If you say it a little more unpleasant, you will still be happy for Miss in your heart."

The bumpiness along the way made Madame Sun even need to spend a lot of effort to cough. The tone of her voice was clearly a little out of breath. "Then do you know how many officials died in this place? What Qinzhou? It is clearly a human purgatory."

Mammy was at a loss for words and could not continue.

But Madame Sun was naturally very familiar with this place that she grew up in. Qinzhou was not very far from the capital. It was indeed the difference between heaven and earth. Those who had the ability to leave all left, and those who did not have the ability all became bandits.

She really had to thank that stupid daughter of hers. But now, no one could leave alive.

Time passed quickly in the carriage. In the blink of an eye, the day slipped away again.

It was a big deal that a carriage could come to Qinzhou City. After all, people with brains in this place only knew how to walk around. The streets were empty. Occasionally, a few pedestrians would look at the carriage with curiosity in their ragged clothes.

It had only been a day since Lin Qingqian entered the Qinzhou. The silver taels, which were originally not rich, had passed by several mountain thieves' nests. There was not much left in the pouch. Qinn picked up the pouch and shook it a few times. She felt that the only thing she could feel was the weight of the pouch. She did not even have the time to sigh. In front of her, there were a few men standing in a row.

It was most likely another location set up by the bandits to ask for their fare.

"Miss, look, we seem to have encountered bandits in front of us again." Qinn said weakly. Thinking about the clean face of the man, she felt even more dejected.

These burly men were clearly more anxious than the others. Before the horse could stop, they went forward and grabbed the old uncle's clothes. They said fiercely, "Be sensible. Get out of the car. Take out the silver and we will be safe."

"This should be the last one." Lin Qingqian comforted Qinn.

Qinn had met many bandits along the way. She clearly did not start to panic. Without waiting for the burly man to say more, she opened her mouth and asked for directions, "Big brothers, if it is convenient, can you tell us where we are?"

"Where is it?" The man looked a little impatient. "Qinzhou City, this is our territory. If you want to go there, take the silver. If you don't want to go there, go back the way you came."

Qinzhou City was a border city. If they went further, they would enter the real wasteland. There was not a single person in this place for 800 years. Lin Qingqian and the others' carriages had instead saved the bandits.

Qinn secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face was still full of smiles. "Big brothers, look, we don't have much silver left on the way. Can you do it well? We have given you the last of the silver. Let us go."

The burly man raised his finger and waved it. It seemed that there was no room for negotiation. "Rules are rules. If I break the rules here, How are we going to get along then?

Lin Qingqian heard the conversation outside. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped off the carriage. Although Lin Qingqian was teased in the Shang Shu Residence, she was still a woman from a big family. No matter how shabby her clothes were, she was still much better than the people here who were full of patches.

"Big brothers, we are going to Qinzhou City. If we continue forward, we will be able to reach there." Lin Qingqian said. Her appearance could be considered delicate. Her skin was creamy and suffused with milky white light. Her pair of willow-leaf-shaped almond eyes shone with a faint light. She wore a plain dress along the way. It did not require much gorgeous clothing to fully display her perfect figure.

When the big man saw the woman who got out of the car was so beautiful, he was first shocked. Then, he stared at her without moving his eyes for a moment.

He chuckled and said, "Little lady, you are so pretty. You are truly a rare beauty in Qinzhou. I wonder what she wants to do in the most barren wasteland for no reason." As he spoke, he turned around and looked at his brothers behind him. There was no need to mention those people. His eyes were already shining with the same joy as his own.

Qinn stood in front of Lin Qingqian, afraid that those big men would have some evil thoughts and make Miss suffer.

"It is only a matter of time before we go to Qinzhou City, but fortunately, we are not in a hurry to travel. We are indeed unable to take out the money that the few big brothers asked us for. We do not know if there is a place to stay nearby. It will give us time to go around. " Lin Qingqian said and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. It felt like she had known this group of bandits for a long time and was very familiar with them.

There was not a trace of fear or panic in her eyes. Lin Qingqian who stood behind Qinn looked like a female general who had experienced hundreds of battles.

Qinn did not know if the young miss had just recovered from her foolish state. She was afraid that she was calm because she did not understand what the light in those big men's eyes meant. It was as if they wanted to lean against her ear and remind her. "Young lady, those bandits do not seem to be easy to mess with. Even if we really live in this area, it's hard to guarantee our own safety. "

"Hey?"

The burly man and the brothers behind him were happy. They pushed and shoved each other as they exchanged glances. They did not know what kind of good luck they had today. In this damn place, they had met a girl who had taken the initiative to hit the muzzle of a gun.

Let alone a few beautiful big girls, even if it was something else, Since it was given for free, how could they not want it? They really did not need to do it themselves. The prey obediently followed them home. How could such a beautiful girl be born in the remote Qinzhou? If he brought her back, wouldn't he be the first one in the mountain thieves' den? The people in the other territories would only be jealous when they saw her.

At this moment, the burly man felt that he had received another golden light on his face. However, for these foreigners who still didn't know their background, staying by his side would also allow him to observe their motives.

His eyes sank, and the corners of his mouth split open even wider. "Brothers are also bored staying in this place. Since the lady has said so, we will accompany the lady to have some fun."

"Please," Lin Qingqian made a gesture to lead the way, "I still need to thank all of you for taking me in."

Without knowing the specific environment of Qinzhou, it would be a dead end if they rushed in recklessly. It would be better to find a place where everyone could not stay in the carriage for a long time and then find an opportunity to observe in front.

Along the way, they encountered many mountain thieves' nests of various sizes. Although they were called bandits, Lin Qingqian knew that these people did not have any intention of making things difficult for her. It made her feel exceptionally interesting, so she could be at ease when it came to safety.

At this moment, Madame Sun was getting more and more restless in the carriage. When she heard the conversation in front of her, her heart was even more restless.

"Mammy, how is this silly girl showing any signs of recovering? She is clearly an idiot who wants to send us all into the fire pit!"

It was really because she did not accumulate merits and do good in her previous life. Now it was only this idiot's turn to torture her back and forth. The more Madame Sun thought about it, the more she felt her chest tighten. She almost fainted when she did not take a breath.

Mammy was worried about Madame Sun's body and hurriedly went forward to support Madame Sun. She wanted to comfort her but Madame Sun's body in her arms could not withstand such a heavy blow and fainted with a roll of her eyes.
