"Boom!"
A blunt arrow was nailed to the door panel.
Just now, Sheng Yuan pushed open the door and felt something was wrong, so she immediately closed the door, and then the sound of nailing on the door appeared.
The guards who were following him suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the leader in charge of the inspection was so frightened that his face turned pale: "I, I have checked it!"
Sheng Yuan glanced at the newly added guard and was speechless. She just said to Cheng Dong: "Tear down all the doors here!"
Chengdong looked at the man with trembling legs and feet, nodded and said yes.
While they were talking, an angry Anyu had already arranged for someone to raid the warehouse.
At this time, a timid female voice sounded from inside the door: "People outside! Are you not gangsters from Yunshan Village?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng hurriedly stopped Anyu, who was ignoring him, and looked at Sheng Yuan: "Sister Yuan, please bring the bandit leader here first!"
Sheng Yuan was also curious as to why someone suddenly jumped out of the room, and naturally nodded in agreement.
After the robber leader and others came over and heard the reason, his mouth felt bitter!
He didn't expect that the teacher he snatched from the mountain would dare to use an arrow!
"Mr. Teacher? You said there is a scholar among you?" An Yu grabbed the robber leader's shoulder and sneered, "How can I be easy to deceive, sir! You robbers are so cowardly, let you rob the teacher who went up the mountain. Do you have the courage to shoot arrows at people?!"
"Really, it's really like this!" The robber leader didn't expect that the gentle and cowardly scholar would do this, and his mind was immediately confused.
Sheng Yuan looked at the not very smart robber leader and narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Sheng, you can negotiate with the people inside, and I'll talk to him." Sheng Yuan smiled and patted the robber leader on the shoulder, "But be careful, beware of fraud!"
The robber leader felt the force on his shoulders and was in unspeakable pain!
He just had the illusion that the other party was beating him like a stake!
Of course, neither Sheng Yuan nor Lu Sheng cared about the feelings of the robber leader.
"Sister Yuan, I'll follow you!" Anyu was afraid that he would shoot the people inside without saying a word, so he simply chased Sheng Yuan.
"Girl, girl, what do you want to ask?" The robber leader looked at Sheng Yuan's gentle smile and couldn't help but trembled.
"Did you steal this cottage?" Sheng Yuan looked at the other party clearly and asked him firmly.
When the robber leader heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he looked at Sheng Yuan in surprise: "You, you can do divination?"
"Just answer what I ask you. There are so many rhetorical questions!" Anyu kicked the ground impatiently.
The leader of the robbers thought of his situation and nodded hastily: "It's true that we are ready-made, but this is not stolen. We are... cooperation! It is cooperation!"
Sheng Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What about the collaborators?"
The leader of the robbers' Adam's apple twitched: "I'm going to plant, I'm going to plant."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Anyu didn't expect there were other people on the mountain, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit them.
"I just said it! Those people are cultivating in the back mountains!" The robber leader hurriedly defended.
Sheng Yuan reminded him: "You were talking about farmers and women, not collaborators!"
"That's right, the people who farm the land for you are called tenant farmers. How can there be any cooperation?" Anyu and Bian Ershang agreed.
The leader of the robbers hurriedly said: "They are refugees from all over Dachu who gathered here and just wanted to live a stable life. Therefore, when we occupied the mountain, they cooperated and gave up the village to us. They only made us promise that refugees will come here in the future." So, I’ll just take it in later.”
"You just agreed?" Anyu felt something was wrong.
The leader of the robbers thought it was normal: "Of course I agreed. Isn't there a saying that the best strategy is to defeat someone without fighting? Besides, they have enough manpower, but they don't have the force to protect them. We, who are highly skilled in martial arts, don't Labor is needed to cultivate the fields, so why not cooperate with this kind of cooperation? As for the promise... Who would think that there are few manpower in the village! Of course, there will be as many refugees as there are, and others may be afraid of them. We in the mountains How can we be afraid of bandits?!"
"How many refugees have taken refuge in you since you took over the mountain and became king?" Sheng Yuan looked at the robbers who were chattering away and continued to ask.
Seeing her curiosity, the robber leader thought it was unnecessary, but he tried to remember: "The number of times was really small. I remember that they only brought back two or three refugees in more than ten years."
"Take it back?!" Sheng Yuan caught the word and asked him, "How can collaborators like you go down the mountain?"
Anyu also realized the problem and shouted angrily: "Are you trying to trick a fool! How can you bandits trust those people?"
The robber leader heard this and cried out: "Is it possible that there is no trust between people? What's more, we didn't let them go down the mountain in the first place! Moreover, those who went down the mountain all had families, and they were afraid Did they run away?! Even though we are bandits, we still need to have some spies under the mountain!"
Sheng Yuan watched the robber leader argue with a pale face.
The robber in front of him was somewhat clever, but not very clever.
Looking at him like this, it really doesn't look like he's being perfunctory.
Thinking of this, she signaled Anyu to be silent for the time being, and then focused on asking the robber leader about the people who came down the mountain and the people who came up the mountain later.
…
"Sister Yuan, are those people who farm the land inappropriate?" Anyu couldn't help but be curious when he saw that Sheng Yuan ordered the guards to find the internal guards and asked them to search and detain all those people according to the list provided by the robber leader.
"The origin sounds a bit suspicious, but... maybe I'm overthinking it." Sheng Yuan felt that there were a lot of doubts, but she was not a professional after all, and needed to be identified by the internal guards.
Well, it’s appropriate to leave professional matters to professionals!
After silently praising herself, Sheng Yuan dragged Anyu to meet Lu Sheng.
They have got a lot of information from the robber leader, and Lu Sheng should be able to gain something from it.
"There is also a secret door in this warehouse, and there is a space for temporary living behind the secret door. Those people were hidden inside during the previous inspection by the guards, so they were not discovered."
After Lu Sheng said this, Sheng Yuan nodded: "How many more such secret doors are there? We need to check the statistics in detail, and we must not let any one go to avoid leaving hidden dangers."
"I just asked Chengdong to help make arrangements." At this point, Lu Sheng paused and then said, "As for the hidden people, there are about ten or so, most of them are girls, most of them are cooks who were kidnapped by the robbers. , embroiderer, sir, craftsman, doctor, etc.”
"Haha, these robbers are very creative! This belongs to a teacher, a cook, and a craftsman. They really want to set up camp and build a town here!" Anyu couldn't help but sneer, "Who can I think a group of robbers are quite motivated!"
Lu Sheng wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he wanted to put it off before he laughed out loud: "Guess which teacher was kidnapped by the robbers?!"
