Lianyi waited for the group to leave completely, and when there were only women in the village, she turned over and entered the house they left just now.
Through the conversation between the two just now, Lianyi concluded that they were outright bandits, not chivalrous men who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. It is estimated that the children were also fooled by them and were temporarily raised here.
These children will be one of the bandits’ sources of wealth. Human trafficking has always been an enduring industry. I don’t know whether these children were stolen, abducted, or snatched, as well as those The children who are about to be born will eventually become silver in their hands.
They even sold their own children, which made Lianyi even more convinced that they were scum that should be cleaned up. No wonder the Huairou County magistrate wanted to invite troops to encircle and suppress them, but he never got a reply, and the other party didn't know how to adapt.
However, this time Ripple mistakenly blamed the Huairou County Magistrate. He gave several discounts, all of which mentioned that there was a war at the border and asked him to act easily. The implication was that he would find a way to solve this problem on his own.
The magistrate of Huairou County is so worried! White hair was sprouting out. There was such a cancer in the area under his jurisdiction, which made him restless. He was afraid that one day these bandits would suddenly burst into Huairou County. The county government officials would not be able to deal with it. These gangsters compete.
The county magistrate also wants to unite the wealthy households and big families in the county, let everyone with money contribute money, and those with money provide people, and then organize a joint collection to completely eliminate this group of bandits.
However, these people all have their own ideas. The big family is not afraid of bandits at all. He can afford the money and the guards he has found are all top-notch. Naturally, there will be no losses. Since they cannot be affected, they Naturally, I don't want to get involved and earn merit for the county magistrate.
Some wealthy households have some relationship with these bandits. These people are afraid that if they cannot completely capture the bandits, they will be retaliated against. After all, their family property is basically here. If they are targeted, On the other hand, the only ones who are unlucky are themselves and their families.
However, some people still gave the county magistrate private money, hoping that he could solve the hidden danger of bandits as soon as possible. After all, not everyone has the confidence of a big family or a wealthy family.
The county magistrate also knew that these people's abilities were limited, and this was their greatest sincerity. Just when he was discussing with the county magistrate and the chief registrar, but there was no perfect solution, he suddenly heard a rumor in the world that there was a treasure map in the world. There are countless wealth hidden there.
The county magistrate immediately became interested and sent people to inquire about the news. There was also a lot of news coming back, including these three versions.
Firstly, the treasure map that appeared in the world was leaked from Yingze Villa eighteen years ago. The owner of the villa was also killed because of this treasure map, but the other party did not find the treasure map. So he set fire to the villa to vent his anger.
Second, the descendants of Yingze Villa, in order to take revenge, lured out the person who killed the owner and his wife, and deliberately released the treasure map that the other party was interested in, just to lure this person into the bait.
Thirdly, the place where the treasure was stored was found, but there was no key to enter it, so a thoughtful person spread the news in order to lure the person with the key to show up.
This was what the county magistrate came up with after summarizing and analyzing it. He immediately had an idea. Since someone cared about the treasure, he would kill someone with a borrowed knife and find someone to spread the news outside Huairou County.
It is said that the treasure has been excavated. The place where the treasure is hidden is in the Grand Canyon entering Huairou County. In order to hide the traces, this group of people deliberately disguised themselves as bandits and kidnapped people passing through the canyon. It was scary. Everyone took a detour, and then they used the canyon to transport the treasure away.
It’s about people with noses and eyes. Some people say that their cousin’s aunt’s sister-in-law’s niece’s husband’s younger brother once sneaked through a canyon and saw a carriage and horse transporting treasure, and the other party also picked up a jade. Ruyi, after exchanging a full fifty taels of silver, he bought land, built a house, married a wife and started a family.
Because of the very specific address, the news spread quickly. Soon after, a group of Jianghu people gathered in Huairou County. These people were all working alone, but they wanted to explore the truth. Under the guidance of a caring person, I went to the county magistrate to find out the truth.
"Lord County Magistrate, we have heard that there is a group of bandits near Huairou County. They often rob passing merchants and villagers. The county has encircled and suppressed them several times without success, so we want to cooperate with the County Magistrate. , to assist the county magistrate in suppressing bandits.”
The knight who was pushed out said in a solemn voice on behalf of justice.
"This county magistrate has handed me a letter, please mobilize soldiers to encircle and suppress" the county magistrate said pretending to be cautious.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we heard that your promise has fallen into disarray, and there has been no order to mobilize troops recently. The longer it takes, the more people will be harmed. If it causes public dissatisfaction, you, the county magistrate, will definitely be reprimanded by Shangfeng.”
“Hey!”
The magistrate of Huairou County sighed, and then said:
"Things are exactly as you said. This is not a secret. If you want to act chivalrously and righteously, it is naturally difficult for the magistrate to stop you, but you can't. I can't afford the money to ask the knights to take action."
"No, since I said I was a knight, why would I collect money again?"
The leader immediately refused.
“If you don’t accept the money, then the government is not hiring you to suppress the bandits. If there are casualties, you will have to bear it yourself.”
"This is natural! However, if the bandits are wiped out, we have the right to divide the things in the bandits' dens."
"This county understands that it will be regarded as your private action, and the government will not If you participate, the local government will not touch the bandits' den, as long as you take back the bandit leader's head."
Huairou County Magistrate said directly.
"Okay, let's just kill harm in our name and become bounty hunters."
We have the tacit approval of the county magistrate here, and no one from the government will be involved. The people got together and made a plan. They pretended to be rich people returning home and walked into the Grand Canyon, which naturally attracted the attention of bandits.
The bandits on guard looked at this group of fat sheep, with green light in their eyes. There were ten carriages of various sizes, and there were thirty or forty people wearing brand-new slave guards, not counting the lady sitting in the car. , young lady, and young master, they immediately informed the people in the village and stopped the convoy in the middle of the canyon.
After the two sides met head-on, they naturally drew their swords at each other after a disagreement. One side wanted to rob, the other wanted the treasure. Both sides used killing moves. It was hard to separate for a while, and Qi Qi and Lianyi passed through the canyon at this moment and encountered them.
Qi Qi led his men to kill the bandits. The guards around him were not bad at martial arts. Their joining in made the battle intense. The bandits had no choice but to go back to the village to find support, which gave Ripple an opportunity. .
After Lianyi sneaked into the room, he looked around and found a small wooden box in the footrest under the tiger-skin main seat.
She shook it casually. It had no weight and was very light. She shook it again and felt that it was like paper inside, so she casually put it into the backpack she had found for cover.
Then Ripple explored the entire room inch by inch, and finally discovered a secret room under a bed.
There is one more chapter, coded and uploaded, but there are some glitches.
