In the county government office, the county magistrate was warmly greeting the Xie cavalry who had come from afar, nodding and bowing to the young man in white robes at the front, in a very respectful manner.
"Sir, something happened, something big happened!" A government servant ran in from outside in a panic, his face full of anxiety, the hat on his head was tilted, and he was holding on weakly with one hand.
"Didn't you see that I was busy?" The county magistrate couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that his yamen servant was so ignorant.
No matter how big the matter is, can it be as important as fawning over Mr. Xie now?
"But..." The yamen servant didn't know whether he should tell the matter or not.
"County Magistrate Wang, official duties are important." The young general in white robe glanced at the Yamen servant kneeling below and signaled Magistrate Wang not to delay his official duties.
"yes!"
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Come back, sir, two people came outside. They said they captured some bandits!"
"Bandits!!!"
"Seriously?" Magistrate Wang was so shocked that his voice broke.
Even the young man in white robe on the side had his eyes firmly fixed on the Yamen servant below.
"Yes, it's true! They also said that those bandits came from Qingfeng Village!" The yamen officer was so tense that he broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
"Bring them in!" Upon hearing the words "Qingfeng Village", the white-robed young general stood up abruptly, strode up to the Yamen servant, and said in a deep voice.
"yes!"

At the gate of the county government office, Niu Xiaodi and Niu Dadu waited for a short while before being called in by the official. At the same time, the four bandits who were still unconscious on the donkey cart were carried in together.
Niu Xiaodi cheered himself up secretly, barely keeping his legs from shaking.
As for the cow belly who was following him, half of his body was already hanging on his son, half walking and half supporting him.
When he came to the main hall of the county government, he saw the county magistrate sitting in front of him and the government officials on both sides, including the soldiers in silver armor. Niu Xiaodi knelt down consciously, followed closely by Niu Dadu.
Sister~ I’m so nervous, my heart feels like it’s jumping into my throat!
"Did you catch the bandits?" Magistrate Wang looked in disbelief at the thin body kneeling on the ground and the trembling belly of the cow beside him.
How could it be possible for these two people to catch the bandits? There might be some hidden secret!
"Report to your lord, it was our entire village who caught them together!" Niu Xiaodi deliberately hid her sister.
In this world, it is not easy for women. My sister possesses special skills. If someone finds out, she may encounter misfortune. As a man, I should protect my family and make my sister's life smooth.
Just when Magistrate Wang was about to continue asking, the unconscious bandit Da Mi woke up in a daze.
He lost a lot of blood and passed through bumps on the road, so he passed out.
When I woke up, my mind hadn't started functioning yet, and I didn't know where I was. I took a casual glance and saw an acquaintance. When I thought about what happened to me, I couldn't help but feel sad and asked for help: "Brother Lin, help me, the brothers are about to be beaten to death! You have to make the decision for the brothers!"
The meaning revealed in the words made everyone present stunned, and they looked at the government servant named Lin Xun with unkind eyes.
Lin Xun, an ordinary government official in the county government, started working as an errand in the county government when he was a teenager. After working as a government official for more than ten years, he is already a veteran of the county government.
At this time, his face changed drastically, and he was sweating all over his body. He looked at Da Mi with hatred in his eyes. He knelt down directly in the hall and knocked his head heavily on the bluestone: "Master Mingjian, I don't know them. It must be them who slandered me, I am loyal to you!"
Da Mi's mind began to clear up, he saw where he was, and received Lin Yamen's eyes, knowing in his heart that he was doomed.
It’s over, this matter was not completed, and the internal supply was revealed!
Even if they were ordered to leave the county government, the village owners of Qingfeng Village would not let their families go!
"Catch him! Catch him! Put him in jail!" Magistrate Wang didn't expect that there would be a traitor among his people. He was so angry that he almost fell down. He quickly asked someone to arrest Lin Yamen, who was still kowtowing. Breaking into a cold sweat.
"Sir, you are wronged!" Lin Xun remained stubborn until he was dragged away.
"It's all down to the official's poor supervision. If there are traitors like this, I will definitely not let them off lightly!"
What he didn't see was that when several officials saw this, their expressions changed, and they exchanged hidden glances with each other.
All this was deeply seen by several Xie cavalrymen, and they also remembered the appearance of those officials.
Xie Zhou: "Continue to investigate the case."
The next review was relatively simple. Da Mi was frightened by this and knew that he was finished, so he poured out all the information he knew.
There are seven village masters in Qingfeng Village, and each of them kills without batting an eyelid. They burn, kill, and loot without hesitation, and they have countless lives on their hands.
There are more than a thousand people in the whole village, entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests. Ordinary people can't find their foothold at all. The officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits return without success every time, allowing them to continue to run rampant.
When asked why he went to Niujia Village and was arrested like this, Da Mi also told the truth, but everything he said was true, and he also gave away the cow grass flowers.
"Oh~ are everything he said true?" Magistrate Wang looked meaningfully at Niu Xiaodi and Niu Dadu, he just said, these two people, one is thin and the other is timid, how can they catch the bandits? .
It turned out to be someone else.
"He lied. My sister was indeed present at the time and did take action. But catching the bandits required the help of the entire village. Otherwise, we would not have been able to catch these villains."
"My sister has a gentle temperament and is the most kind to others. He just wants to slander us!"
At this time, Niu Caohua was also working hard in the village. She ran to find Li Zheng and told everything about her encounter with the bandits. She emphasized that the purpose of the bandits was to abduct people and was caught by them using a trick. Now, He was escorted to the county government office.
At first glance, Niu Lizheng was frightened when he heard that he was both a bandit and a kidnapper. After hearing that he was arrested and taken to the county government office, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Those were bandits.
"We're all fine."
"Li Zheng, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with." Niu Caohua said seriously.
"Whether you want to help or not, just ask if you need anything!"
"There is a saying that the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be blown up by the wind, which means that the trees that grow tall will be destroyed by the strong wind first. The land is small, and we are farmers. If something extraordinary emerges, Talent will definitely attract the attention of others. If it’s done with good intentions, that’s fine. If it’s done with bad intentions, it will be a disaster for our family and even the whole village.”
Cowgrass is not an alarmist, this is indeed very possible.
For example, when their family broke off their marriage, they also had to cancel such a ridiculous marriage.
The result was retaliation.
If he hadn't been with Xiaodi today, and if he hadn't had some skills, he might have been captured by Niu Xiaodi.
Human nature is inherently evil and must be guarded against.
