"If you confess honestly, I will naturally not touch your brother." Zhao Yanzhen said coldly.
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, the bandit thought for a while, and then finally said, "We are indeed the bandits on Leigong Mountain. That Leigong Mountain was indeed a good place many years ago. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountains were clear and the water was beautiful, and the mountain was the backer. And it’s also a good place for robbery.”
"However, all this came to an end in March this year. We robbed a wedding party at the foot of the mountain. We saw that the bride in the wedding sedan was quite beautiful. We thought about taking it back to our boss to be his wife. But. But Who knew that the tragedy would begin after we carried the woman up the mountain."
"Our eldest brother has three brothers. Usually the three of them look after us and we are very harmonious. But since that woman came to the mountain, our eldest brother and the second boss have fallen out because of that woman. The woman even designed to frame the third brother, saying The third master had evil intentions towards her, and soon after, the third master was killed by the boss. Later, the second master turned against the boss, and almost everyone in the village was killing each other at that time."
"Then the group of people who survived killing each other were somehow eliminated by a group of people who suddenly appeared. That group of people seemed to be related to the woman. After that, we took a lot of risks to get out from there. Escaped."
"We had nothing serious to do after we escaped down the mountain, and the property we brought with us was quickly used up, so we thought of coming to this town to rob."
"I just didn't expect that we would be caught after we had been on the spot for so long and prepared for so long." The bandit concluded at the end.
"So your cottage has been taken over by your wife Yazhai?" Zhao Yanzhen concluded.
The man immediately nodded cooperatively.
After Zhao Yanzhen got this information, he just continued to ask, "Then they are running your business?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzhen's question, the group of people nodded cooperatively, "Yes."
After receiving such an answer, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He then only asked some other questions, and then he motioned to the people around him to take the bandit down.
Although it was determined that there were only a few bandits in the group that night, everyone did not sleep too hard at night. They would get up immediately if there was any disturbance.
Therefore, although everyone also had a night's rest in this town that day, in fact, no one had a good rest.
But Anxi couldn't delay, so even though everyone didn't sleep well.
But now everyone still got up early.
After they got up, the first thing they did was throw the group of robbers at the door of the Yamen.
After they finished doing this, they left here and moved on.
Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen were able to rest for a while in the car, so their overall mental condition was stronger than that of ordinary people.
But others are not so lucky.
Since then, the carriage has been driving from this town to Leigong Mountain.
As the bandit said, there were ambushes and robberies at Leigong Mountain.
Fortunately, they had been vigilant before this, so even though the bandits set up stumbling blocks on the road, because they were walking slowly and they were always vigilantly watching the road under their feet, Therefore, the tripping horse rope was cut off by the guards in advance before it was about to trip the horse. .
As soon as they saw that the trip horse lock was broken, the group of people jumped out. There were at least a few robbers blocking the road on the spot. They were holding machetes. It was obvious at a glance that they were coming prepared.
They didn't talk much at the moment and just shouted "Robbery!"
After hearing the word robbery, the guards started fighting with the group of people without saying a word.
Although this group of people looks fierce, their hands are
Everyone had grudges because of poor sleep, and when facing this group of people, they naturally became even more violent.
At this time, the guards directly cut off the escape route of this group of people. After solving the escape route of these people, this group of people was chopped down by the guards in a short time, killing most of them.
The remaining few people were forced to ask where they were by Zhao Yanzhen.
Then this
The bandits couldn't resist, so they only told Zhao Yanzhen where they came from. It turned out that these bandits were also bankrupt farmers who came from near Anxi. Some of these farmers went bankrupt after selling their land, so they only sold themselves. Or their children were sold to landlords, and some people took the risk and went to the mountains after going bankrupt. However, Anxi is all plains, so it is not suitable to be a bandit. The risk of water banditry is too great. After all, this is Anxi Unicom. The main thoroughfare of the capital.
Therefore, there are many sailors arranged here.
Ordinary water bandits simply cannot survive in such a situation.
So they have to look for good places elsewhere.
It's just that other places are occupied by others, so if they want to succeed, they can only deal with this group of people first. Head-on confrontation is unreliable, so they use clever methods, and the best among them is naturally the beauty. count.
After they picked Leigong Mountain, they learned in detail the origin of the bandits who occupied Leigong Mountain. After learning about the situation of this group of people, they used a beauty trick to divide their combat power. When they were divided and fighting among themselves, they took action again, and it was really like a crane and a clam fighting, and the fishermen benefited.
At the same time, the guard only told Zhao Yanzhen that they had at least two to three hundred people.
The small group of two to three hundred people was almost ready to rebel, so Zhao Yanzhen did not let them go back directly, but arranged those who were willing to surrender to the nearby government palace.
He could only kill those who were unwilling to surrender.
In this way, the trouble in the palace was eliminated, and Zhao Yanzhen left here with others.
After that, the group of people headed westward. When they were about to reach the border of Anxi, Zhao Yanzhen directly gave up the right to drive the convoy. He only took Jiang Nianjiao and a few secret guards to move forward lightly.
They chose to bypass the Anxi Prefecture directly, but headed for Anxi County.
On the outskirts of the county town, when the two of them arrived in front of a City God's Temple on the outskirts of the city, they saw a note hidden in the hand of the statue in the City God's Temple.
The address on the note pointed to a place called Lulin Village.
At that moment, Zhao Yanzhen and Jiang Nianjiao hired a local ox cart driver who was familiar with the terrain and headed for Lulin Village.
When the coachman heard that these two people were going to Lulin Village, he couldn't help but curiously asked, "What are you going to Lulin Village for?"
Jiang Nianjiao immediately said, "We are going to visit relatives."
The coachman did not have too much doubts about Jiang Nianjiao's words. After all, Jiang Nianjiao had put on shabby cloth clothes before preparing to travel lightly. In addition, they also made some makeup modifications to her face.
From the perspective of others, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be just an ordinary farm couple. As for the few guards who followed them, although they were strong, under Jiang Nianjiao's handwriting, they only looked like He is the brother of this couple.
However, although the coachman did not doubt Jiang Nianjiao, he did not dare to pick up this group of people easily. After all, these men would not be provoked at first sight.
Moreover, something big happened in Lulin Village a while ago, but they still had to go to Lulin Village, which was a deserted place.
Therefore, the coachman only said, "Don't you guys know that something happened in Lulin Village?"
"Something happened? What happened in Lulin Village?" Jiang Nianjiao asked pretending to be confused.
"Lulin Village was burned by a fire for three days and three nights. I thought there might be no survivors in the village." The coachman explained immediately.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only said, "Then we have to get through."
The coachman didn't expect that she actually insisted on going there, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did you do there? There is nothing there. Even if you dare to go, I don't dare to go. Besides, there are no people in the place, and there will be no guests on the return journey." ah."
Jiang Nianjiao immediately understood the other party's concerns, so she only took the initiative and said, "We bought your ox cart, but we haven't been back to Lulin Village for a long time, and we don't remember the specific location of Lulin Village. I hope Can you draw us the address to Lulin Village?"
When he heard that the other party just insisted on going to Lulin Village, the coachman thought about it and agreed.
Afterwards, Jiang Nianjiao and the others headed to Lulin Village with their newly purchased ox carts and maps.
At this time, the fire in Lulin Village had been extinguished, but just as the coachman expected, there were almost no survivors in Lulin Village.
The whole village was filled with shocking black char.
Looking at such a place, Jiang Nianjiao even had some doubts as to whether the clues Xu Zhilan and the others left for her were true.
But no matter how doubtful you are.
Now that they are here, they can only continue to search for people in this area of Lulin Village.
After searching for who knows how long, they found a young government servant in a ruins.
Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen walked over quickly.
Jiang Nianjiao first said to the man, "The king of heaven will conquer the tigers of the earth."
The yamen servant immediately said in coordination, "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."
Once the words met, both sides' eyes were filled with excitement.
"It's like letting me find you!" the yamen servant said excitedly.
Jiang Nianjiao asked in a low voice, "Where are the hostages and evidence left by your master?"
The yamen officer was not vague at all, and then he directly led Jiang Nianjiao and his party to a ruins. Then he pulled away the ruins, and everyone discovered that there was actually a basement hidden under the ruins.
And the gentlemen from Xinguan and Anxi Town happened to stay in this basement.
"Sir, they are here." The government officer shouted happily to the people in the basement.
After hearing this, Xinguan just walked out of the basement.
However, although the others came out, they had a wary look on their faces because they had not seen Zhao Yanzhen.
