"Pi Laowu is the brother-in-law of the bandit boss Scar Dragon..."
It seemed that the mention of the name "Scar Dragon" made the father and daughter tremble.
"The sandbank is under the jurisdiction of the Hu people. Could it be that the Hu people government just let it go?" Song Che asked with a frown.
Old Man Lu muttered: "No matter what the Hu people are doing, they are no better than Pi Laowu. We are a small border village. Just one harsh word from Pi Laowu scared the villagers into panic. They all advised me to hand over Cui'er, how could I let it go..."
Song Che pursed his lips. If this bully was really the sworn brother of the bandit leader, how could he dare to publicize it in such a big way? Pi Laowu, huh, is probably a paper tiger.
"Jingxiang, take a few people and arrest that Pi Laowu. I want to see how arrogant he is."
"Yes, boss."
"Ah? Senior official, that Pi Laowu is tall and powerful, and has great boxing and kicking skills. He also has more than a dozen thugs under his command. Can you capture him with just a few people?" Old Man Lu said with all the words written on his face. Worry.
Song Che said calmly: "Don't worry, old man, these swordsmen of mine all have great abilities. They are more than enough to catch a bully in the fish and meat village."
Hearing this, Old Man Lu didn't say anything more. He left his daughter waiting in the tent while he acted as a guide, leading Lu Jingxiang and other five female swordsmen to the market town to arrest people.
gradually.
It was late at night, and the wind and sand were blowing hard.
In order not to affect other businessmen's rest, Song Che found a mound with leeward wind outside the camp, put on a mask, and quietly waited for news about Lu Jingxiang.
"You...why are you wearing a mask? You are still so white. I don't know. I thought you were Bai Wuchang from hell. It's so scary." Guo Shuyun looked at you from the side.
Song Che looked up at the stars slightly, his sleeves and hairband moving with the wind, his mysterious appearance, not impermanent but like a god.
He clicked on his mask and said with a smile: "This is a very magical mask. As long as I put it on, my strength and wisdom will be improved to a higher level."
Guo Shuyun stopped talking and sighed softly: "Song Che, you... are really weird."
About an hour and a half later, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the dark night.
Lu Jingxiang and the others came back, carrying a black-faced man tied up on their horse.
"Boss, he is Pi Laowu."
Lu Jingxiang kicked the black man off the horse, dragged him and threw him at Song Che's feet and opened his mouth.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you tie me up? Do you know who I am? Old man Lu, you want to die -"
"Shut up!"
Lu Jingxiang kicked the black man's feet fiercely, and after suffering the pain, he became a little more honest.
"Are you really the sworn brother of the sand bandit Scar Dragon?" Song Che asked coldly.
"If you know who my eldest brother is, release me as soon as possible. Otherwise, when my eldest brother and his men come to kill you, I will strip you all to pieces—"
"Beat him half to death."
"okay."
Lu Jingxiang and the female swordsman began to fight with fists and kicks. Naturally, they would show no mercy when dealing with such bullies who robbed civilian girls.
After receiving a severe beating, Pi Laowu vomited blood and begged for mercy: "Don't beat me, don't beat me..."
Song Che squatted in front of Pi Laowu and said coldly: "There are two kinds of pain in this world, one is called the pain of not wanting to live, and the other is called the painful change of the past. It is difficult for people like you to change the past, so I can only call you It hurts so much that I don’t want to live anymore,”
He paused and asked again: "Answer truthfully, are you really Scar Dragon's sworn brother?"
Pi Laowu hesitated and shook his head, "No..."
It turns out that it's not even a paper tiger, it's just a fox pretending to be a tiger.
"Everything can never come out of nowhere. Even if you are not his brother, you must have some relationship with the bandits. Am I right?" Song Che asked.
Pi Laowu shook his head; "No, no... the villains are just using their names to show their prestige. How can a bandit leader have friendship with a villain like me!"
"Then you mean, my guess was wrong? You can't say I'm wrong. If you say I'm wrong, you'll get beaten." Song Che stood up and waved his hand at Lu Jingxiang.
Keep fighting!
"You guessed it right! You guessed it right! Please stop fighting. If you fight again, someone will die," Pi Laowu cried, "The villain originally opened a winery in the market town, and those bandits were separated by a block. I would go to the market town to buy wine every time, and I would talk to them as soon as I went there, but I never got close to each other and called them brothers!"
"Oh?" Song Che asked the old man Lu beside him: "Does he really open a winery in a market town?"
"This bully is the only one in the market town and does not allow others to sell alcohol. He also collects protection fees, monopolizes beef and mutton, and molests women from good families. He has done too many immoral things!" Old Man Lu listed the bad things Pi Laowu had done. Vomited it all out.
"I realize my mistake! Sir, please spare my life, spare your life..."
It seems that he has really done these bad things, otherwise he would not be so diligent in begging for mercy.
"Let me ask you, how often do bandits come to sell wine? How many people come at one time? Do you know where their den is?" Song Che asked.
Pi Laowu answered truthfully:
"They pretend to be ordinary wine sellers. They usually come every five to seven days. Only two or three people come each time, but they bring five or six camels. Each camel will be loaded with three hundred kilograms of wine... Sir , I really just do the drinking business with them, how could I know about the bandits’ den?”
"When was the last time they came to sell wine?" Song Che asked again.
Pi Laowu said: "I just left yesterday."
Song Che nodded. Everything he needed to know was clear. He probably couldn't ask any other questions. He waved his hand and said, "Take this person down and lock him up first. I will be of use to him in the future."
"My lord! My lord, spare my life!"
"Stop struggling! If my boss had used a knife on you, you would have been dead! Just be honest!"
Lu Jingxiang dragged Pi Laowu down the slope.
"Song Che, from the tone of your words, do you have thoughts about these bandits?" Guo Shuyun asked.
Song Che hummed and slowly pointed out three fingers: "Three reasons——
First, bandits are bad people and I am a good person. It is only natural for good people to deal with bad people and eliminate harm for the people;
Second, the sand bandits block the road and rob, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of trade and blocks my way of making money, so they must be destroyed;
As for the third one?"
He tilted his head and winked at Guo Shuyun: "Miss Guo, guess what?"
Guo Shuyun pouted: "The first reason is to eliminate harm for the people, and the second reason is to benefit oneself, so the third reason is probably for something else. I can only guess this."
Song Che pointed to the camp on the mound and said calmly: "The third reason is for you."
She was silent for a moment and then said: "Although I don't know the reason, it is right to thank you first...Song Che, thank you for us! Kidnapping you back to the village is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life!"
Why does this thank you sound so awkward?
