When Jin and Lin and the others left the house, Chang Kai smiled and said, "These stolen goods are not something that the family can decide. The masters and the heads of the class have to talk."

"How did these wealth come from? There have been no major cases in Huairen County in the past three or four years. With these soft-legged goods from Class 3, could it be possible to go outside to rob?" Zhu Da asked frowned.

Over the past three years, Zhu Da has clearly understood the green forests of Huairen County and the surrounding areas. Someone will tell him what happened in the past. The guards in the Salt Store are old and will tell him that there is no big case. He does not know about the goods list released by the annual report of the Financial Management Bureau. If a caravan is robbed, it will inevitably report to the official. Even if the caravan is killed cleanly and there is no living occupancy. With such a large amount of goods, the caravan's owner and family members will come to report to the official. No matter what, it is impossible for gods to do such a big case without knowing it.

As for whether this batch of goods was gathered in pieces by dozens of cases, Zhu Da thought of this and denied it again. Hundreds of pieces of silk and cotton cloth of the same style, each of which was a bulk, and it could not be pieced together.

If someone does such a big case but doesn't know it, that is, there is a force within the scope of his or her activities that he or she doesn't know at all. If it is done by officials and servants, it means that there is still a strength that he or she doesn't know. No matter what the situation is, his or her own family is in danger and must be treated with caution and prepared.

After Zhu Da said this, Chang Kai also frowned. Now Chang Banting is not as conscious as a servant. He is completely standing on Zhu Da's side. After racking his brains there for a while, Chang Kai hesitated and said, "It should not be done by the people from Class 3. I know very well what these goods have. They dare to do robbery and kill people, and they don't have the courage to use swords with the caravan."

The three-squad officers have done a lot of things to kill people and rob money, but they are all attacking good people and traveling vendors. However, the caravans walking in border towns have armed guards. When walking outside, these caravans must be prepared for robbers, even the official army and the Tartars at any time. The caravans know that once they fall into the enemy, there is basically no way out. Therefore, in addition to full-time bodyguards, the managers are willing to fight desperately. The small caravans have more than a dozen or twenty young and strong people who dare to fight and kill, while the large caravans have dozens or hundreds of people. The soldiers in Huairen County have all out of one or two hundred people. Among these two hundred people, only thirty or forty people who dare to kill blood. Think about the list of goods mentioned by Jin Guannian. If they come from the caravans, they must be more than a hundred or even larger caravans. Such caravans are not something that the three-squad officers can eat.

Even if the servants really have great courage, they will definitely suffer casualties when they eat this batch of goods. If there are any casualties and injuries, Chang Kai, a native servant, would not be unaware of it.

Zhu Da ruled out all kinds of possibilities, but he still couldn't imagine the reason. Zhu Da didn't think that the officials and servants of Huairen County were hiding some strength. He had done so much to kill people, set fire and put out the family. If he had really had the strength, he would have taken revenge long ago.

"Brother Chang, go back to the city and find out the origin of these goods. If you need to spend money, I can give him more money." Zhu Da reminded Chang Kai a few words.

Chang Kai solemnly agreed, and then smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, please be content. If they did this case, we may not be able to survive now."

"This is the truth, be careful."

......

Li He was also returning to the city with Chang Kai. This batch of stolen goods was too valuable, so Zhu Da had to treat them carefully. In addition to arranging Chang Kai to inquire about the details, Li He also had to inform Qin Juren of these details, and Qin Chuan also had to make corresponding preparations.

When it was dark, it started to snow again. With the remaining sky light, Zhu Da looked at the sky in the north. There was no war of smoke, but the white disaster had already occurred on the grassland, and it was a matter of time before the beacon was ignited.

It is said that when it is snowing and cold weather, it should have a good rest after it is dark. No one would have thought that Zhu Da would mobilize everyone. The servants, young policemen and refugees were divided into three shifts and took turns on duty. The young and strong refugees who were diligent in training and performed well these days were also given weapons in their hands. The high-level waiting made many people's reluctance disappear. Everyone thought that something big happened or that there was a danger approaching.

This formation naturally alarmed the Li family caravan. During dinner, Li Zhuang specifically asked Zhu Da. After seeing that Zhu Da was going to participate in the shift at night, he even asked whether the caravan needed to hide in the county town.

"You should live with peace of mind. This is daily training. Who said that you have to rest on snowy days? Could it be that the thieves will not come out on snowy days?" Zhu Da replied with a smile.

This explanation is reasonable, but Li Zhuang's doubts were not gone, and the atmosphere in the farm became solemn and he couldn't relax. Don't talk about any thief. If Zhu Da wants to take action, Li Zhu even thought that Zhu Da was going to kill him. After all, the two sides had not been in contact for a long time and the real trust had not been established.

"Your return goods are probably in place, and you are right this time." Zhu Da changed the topic.

The merchant was pursuing profit. When he heard that Li Zhuang was interested, he was about to ask, but Chang Shen entered the house.

"Master Zhu, Miss Liu Yue and Zhou both want some cotton. Should I give it to me?" Chang Shen asked after entering the house.

Zhu Da looked at Chang Shen, then looked at Li Zhuang who lowered his head, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If it were Chang Kai, he wouldn't have asked this question in front of Li Zhuang.

"Give it to them, give them everything you want, don't ask me." Zhu Da's answer was very simple, and he didn't want Li Zhuang to hear the details.

It’s no wonder that Chang Shen came over and asked. Zhu Da’s original order was to give them wool, but now he changed to cotton. Chang Shen is also a person who is used to living a careful life, so he naturally has to come over and ask.

Li Zhuang noticed something. After Chang Shen asked, Zhu Da's mood suddenly improved. Li Zhuang was a little curious about Zhu Da's mood improving. He guessed that the "Liu Yue" and "Zhou" mentioned just now might be Zhu Da's inner relatives, but it is not convenient to say it when it comes to the other party's private affairs.

Of course, he was more curious about the return goods that Zhu Da mentioned, but Zhu Da said that he could not be completely accurate, and he was not easy to ask. However, Li Zhuang also had plans to talk about. After he went back and discussed with the managers, he felt that it was feasible to transport grain and other bulk materials to Huairen County. Huairen County and the garrison were intertwined, and there was a large amount of grain available for sale on the garrison. The Li family caravan could run a few short distances. Although such a business was not profitable, it was better because it took a short time to go back and forth, and it was also a matter of being able to do it.

After speaking out this plan, the relationship between the two parties is much closer. They can think about each other and make concessions for each other, so that they can do business together for a long time.

Zhu Da sent Li Zhuang back to the station, walked around the caravan station, asked about his well-being for a few polite words, and then went to attend the night patrol. After Zhu Da left, Li Zhuang also told the managers about the news about tonight, but everyone did not expect anything from the goods on the way back, and this small Huairen County could not produce any good things.

The patrol that night was not easy. Zhu Da led everyone to sweep the snow constantly, and they had to clean the roads, and several drying yards and open spaces. The constant work made everyone feel warm. Moreover, Zhu Da also specially prepared dry food and hot soup for everyone on the night, so that everyone was more motivated.

"Have we encountered some good news?" Meng Tian asked Fu Yu in a low voice. Many people have noticed Zhu Da's emotions.

However, the attention of the two young men quickly changed. They suddenly found that the refugees were a little reborn. They could not see anything with wooden poles during the day, but at night they walked in the snow with spears in hand, and felt a stern and murderous aura.

"...This is a bit of an official army's meaning..."

"......These hardships are much stronger than the big-headed soldiers in the garrison. I'm afraid that this is the only way for the battalion soldiers..."

"...I'm afraid they are not good, they have never seen blood..."

"... Why haven't I seen it? The Tartars burned and killed the place, and then the bandits were rampant. They had never seen anything..." This was the first time that the refugees had been given real weapons. The queues and physical training these days showed results, and the behavior was quite regular. The unconscious aura was even rare. The servants and young soldiers trained with the refugees. When they were together day and night, they often felt no change. They suddenly realized the difference from the past tonight, and naturally they were talking about it.

"Don't look at them, we are not the same." Fu Yu looked at him a little deeper than others.

Speaking of this, Meng Tian had not answered the conversation yet, and a young policeman interrupted and said, "I have been home these days. I said I have changed and said there are rules."

"I have seen the camp soldiers, too. They are not much better than us, but we have only been practicing for a long time." Meng Tian said in a muffled voice.

The military households in the garrison are actually the tenants of the military generals. Their main business is to farm and pay grain. The commanders and thousands of households are unwilling to let the military households not go to farm and train. Therefore, the military soldiers in the garrison are all good and cannot even do well. Of course, the court and the government cannot expect such a force to guard the border. The combat-capable soldiers in the border town recruit soldiers and gather at each camp, so they are also called camp soldiers. They are professional soldiers who fight with military pay. Although the food pay is severely deducted, they earn life-long food pay. Whether the soldiers can fight or not is also related to the status and strength of the generals. Therefore, the camp soldiers in the border town are examples of being able to fight. Everyone thinks that elites who can fight and dare to fight are camp soldiers.

Meng Tian and Fu Yu were careful to observe, while other young policemen did not have such a clear understanding, while the servants did not think about this at all. They did not have any doubts about Zhu Da, and they would do whatever they wanted. Perhaps they would have thoughts like this when they just followed him, but over the past few days, as Zhu Da continued to show his courage and correctness, those doubts had long disappeared.
