Night falls.
There is only a crescent moon in the sky, and even the stars seem to be much fewer than before.
The bandits moved very quickly, and before the moon rose into the sky, they had reached the foot of the mountain.
As long as the boss gives the order, they can sneak into the village secretly.
Dots of torchlight flashed across the village, indicating that the intersection was being guarded.
Boss Hei had already anticipated this situation.
They found an intersection. Although the mountain was steep, it was unguarded. As long as they entered, they would be able to sneak into the village without being discovered.
Lao Wu looked at the movement below and said to the boss:
"Brother, people are still very energetic at this hour. If we go down the mountain in an hour, people will definitely relax their vigilance if they are sleepy."
Boss Hei nodded: "Okay, then let's wait for another hour."
Xiao Mu led two people to guard at the intersection, while Xiao Song led two people to guard at the foot of the mountain to the west.
The location of the two of them was far away from the intersection where the bandits went down the mountain, so when the dozen or so people slipped down the mountain, no one really noticed them.
A dozen figures took advantage of the darkness and walked towards the village.
They were very excited. did not expect. This method proposed by Lao Wu turned out to be really useful.
"Brother, we are going to make a fortune tonight."
“Tonight, if that family dares not to cooperate with us, we will kill them all.
By the time the villagers found out, we had already fled with the money. "
"Okay, it's too early to say this now. Let's go in quickly according to the original route."
The group of people walked in a hurry.
Has anyone noticed that behind them, a pair of lantern-like eyes are staring at them.
Just when they were about to turn a corner and walk into the village. Suddenly a tiger's cry came from behind.
"Roar!"
The tiger's cry was earth-shattering. Several people were immediately frightened.
tiger!
Why is there a tiger in this village?
Before they could react, Yuan Bao had already pounced on them.
He slapped the last person on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
"No, no, no, the tiger has entered the village, and we are being targeted by the tiger!"
The group of people fled in all directions.
The movement here quickly alerted other people in the village.
All the people on patrol are rushing this way.
When they arrived, they saw more than a dozen people lying on the ground. Some were unconscious, some were vomiting blood, and even those who were awake were too frightened by the tiger to move. Xiao Mu and Xiao Song also rushed over.
Although Yuan Bao's attack was relatively heavy-handed, he at least gave these people some breathing space.
Xiao Mu counted, there were sixteen people in total.
He pointed at one of them and asked: "How many of you are there in total? Who is the leader?"
The few who were awake didn't say a word.
Li Zheng then said: "Don't think that we can't find you if you don't speak. It's okay if you don't want to speak. Anyway, it will be handed over to the county magistrate for trial in the end.
If you have anything to say, please tell the county boss. "
"Heroes, spare their lives! Heroes, spare their lives!"
one of them shouted.
“We were just passing by and wanted to borrow some money, we didn’t mean to kill anyone!
Please be merciful and don't hand us over to the county government, otherwise we will die without a burial place. "
"Nonsense!" Li Zheng yelled angrily.
“You have done something wrong and you must be punished.
If you haven't committed any crime, can the county master still accuse you unjustly?
However, even if a sin is committed, the sin may be large or small.
But since you don’t want to confess, let the county boss punish you with the same crime! "
"No, no, we are not the boss, we all follow orders." Seven or eight people began to defend themselves.
After all, they are loosely organized bandits. When they are lucky, they can share the benefits, but when disaster strikes, they all want to fly separately.
A man in tattered clothes and thin cheeks looked at Yuan Bao.
Seeing that it was not about to pounce, he boldly stood up and said, "I'm not the boss. We don't have a boss here. Our boss is not walking on the same road as us."
"What?"
Xiao Mu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
He grabbed the speaker's collar and asked coldly: "What do you mean your boss didn't follow the same path as you?"
"I just don't mean to take the same road!"
The tall and thin man said: "Our boss said that there is no one guarding this road and let us go from here. He and our military advisor took another road."
Xiao Mu had a bad premonition in his heart.
He no longer bothered to interrogate these bandits, he pushed them to the ground and ran quickly towards his home.
When Xiao Song saw his movements, he seemed to realize something.
He followed closely and ran towards home.
Yuanbao was still standing in the crowd. When he saw the two masters running home, Yuanbao immediately followed them.
Some villagers didn't know what was going on and asked Li Zheng in confusion: "What's going on with the two of them?"
Li Zheng also thought of something and said anxiously:
“First, tie up all these people and leave five people to guard them.
The rest will follow me to Xiao's house.
We fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and the leader of the bandits may have gone to the Xiao family. "
