With the account book, she would know if they had done anything bad.
In the end, she found more than ten boxes of account books in a secret room at the back of the mountain.
Zhou Ying opened it and flipped through it seriously. Most of the money was collected from regular caravans and escort agencies.
Of course, there were also robberies, but most of them were from heartless black merchants.
This was especially true for the merchant groups that sold fake medicine. They had robbed many of them, and it was clearly stated on the list what kind of fake medicine they had stolen.
Moreover, they had robbed a batch of gold, which was the gold that the original Qianzhou Prefecture magistrate had embezzled. After they received the news, not only did they rob the gold, but they also killed him.
There was also a portion of their own income, which included furs, prey, and herbs.
Their annual income was similar, but the only difference was the amount.
During the disaster years, their income was close to nothing. On the contrary, they spent a lot and helped many people, including the villages on the mountain.
After looking at it, Zhou Ying went to Master Liu’s stronghold and took a look. She roughly understood their plan after seeing their bows and arrows, animal traps, and weapons.
After telling Gu Chengrui about this, Zhou Ying did not care anymore.
Only when Gu Chengrui sent a message to her that they had arrived at Lion Camel Ridge did Zhou Ying find an excuse and lock herself in the study room.
She quickly found Gu Chengrui.
At this moment, they had already begun to pa.s.s through the path between the Lion Camel Ridge.
Zhou Ying quickly looked around. At the corner, Master Liu and the others were hiding on the left side of the road. Each of them held a large sword in their hands.
To the left and behind them were Tiger’s men. They had twice as many men as Master Liu.
On the right side of the road, a row of archers was hiding, staring at the middle of the road.
However, each of them only had two arrows in their hands, presumably to force them to stop the carriage.
There were also a row of animal traps along the way. As long as a horse pa.s.sed, it would immediately snap its legs.
“Remember, don’t push too hard.” Zhou Ying reminded Gu Chengrui as she told him their layout.
“Got it. I’ll be careful.” As soon as Gu Chengrui finished speaking, more than ten arrows immediately shot toward his carriage.
“Be careful, Lord!” Lin Yitian shouted.
Gu Chengrui immediately laid down on the carriage after hearing that. He kicked open the carriage and got out. “Stop. There’s traps ahead.”
Lin Yitian and the others were stunned for a moment. At this moment, they also noticed the new soil on the road.
Then, they quickly surrounded Gu Chengrui.
The second volley of arrows was shot, but Gu Chengrui and the others stopped it. However, one of the soldiers still had his leg injured.
Gu Chengrui had found the archers’ position. He immediately started to counterattack with his crossbow.
Master Liu saw that their attention had been drawn over, so he quietly rushed down.
However, before they could descend the mountain, Tiger and his men shouted, “Kill!”
Tiger’s group dispersed and rushed down from above in a disciplined manner.
Shocked, Lin Yitian and the others quickly turned their heads to look. However, before they could recover, Master Liu and the others had already arrived. They could only raise their sabers and welcome them.
At this moment, Master Liu also sensed that Tiger and the others had come with ill intentions. He immediately ordered, “Retreat after you kill Gu Chengrui!”
With his order, the two sides instantly started fighting.
Gu Chengrui noticed that the archers had stopped. He turned around and shot his crossbow at Master Liu.
As for the archers on the mountain, they originally wanted to come down, but when they saw Tiger and the others, they immediately retreated..
