Lurking Tyranny wrote:"I have heard of them. Wretched creatures one and all." Zhai Cang said calmly. He walked over to one of the arrow slits and stared out of it. "I can only do so much. Though I am the lord of this castle and the city it overlooks, I am not the only hand of power. There are some among the gentry who have profited from the attacks of these bandits, as well as those who ply their trade. I would be lying if I said I am not well invested in the trade routes."lutai wrote:
Ma Rai bowed to show his respect to Zhai Cang."My lord it is a honor to be in your presence,and I have came here today to talk about the certain bandit attacks upon the people of Chang Shan have you heard of them and if you did what could you do to stop them?".He asked with concerned face.
"What I can do is try to send out patrols to trap or arrest them should they try to cross over into Zhao or Jibei from my watchtowers. That is the best I can do. If they flee into Yan, I say let them, that place is a cesspool of banditry already."
Rai smiled as he knew that this man cared for his people, and would like to see the bandits brought to justice."My lord what if you and I send a petition to the regional city lords of Chang Shan, asking to rid this province of these awful bandits before they could destroy another town which is my home of Kuailang and save many other villages from destruction.And if you heard what happened to the town of Xuwu, which my half-brother Ma Liang held in his control along with my older half-brother Ma Shensun it was burned and destroyed. And my elder brother meet a untimely end by the bandit lord which I hear is named Zang Kai who controls a village in Chang Shan,but don't get me wrong I am not blinded by vengeance I only want to kill the bandit to clear my family's name of the disgrace my brothers have befallen on it.And to bring peace to our land of Chang Shan, all I need is your help to get the lords together so will you help me lord Zhai?".
