Shibalipu, the gate of the county government.
"Han, Han arrests the head, help... help, yes, yes..."
A man ran panting to the gate of Shibalipu County Government and shouted out of breath.
This man was the coachman who escaped from the bandits. After seeing the bandits kidnapping the two shopkeepers, they ran all the way back to Shibalipu to ask for help. He was faster, so first to one step.
However, running all the way also made him short of breath, and he couldn't even speak clearly at this time.
When the two yamen guards at the door saw this, one quickly said to the other.
"Quick! Go and notify Capt. Han!"
At the same time, he went up to him, supported the coachman and asked anxiously.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Hearing the officer's question, the coachman was about to say something, but a feeling of nausea suddenly surged into his heart, leaving him unable to say anything. He just lay on the ground retching uncomfortably.
This yamen officer was also a newcomer with little experience, so he was a little at a loss when looking at the situation.
Fortunately, at this time, an old arrester wearing blue tacky clothes and gray temples walked out of the county government office with a few people.
This person is none other than Han Baotou. He is nearly sixty years old and will retire in more than half a year.
"What's wrong?" Han Captou asked quickly as he looked at the coachman who was lying on the ground retching.
Seeing this, the yamen servant quickly told what happened just now. After hearing this, Han Captou nodded clearly and said.
"He probably didn't recover after running vigorously and was temporarily short of energy and blood. The two of you can help him up and walk around for a while, so that his energy and blood can be smoothed down."
"Yes!" The two yamen servants obeyed the order and quickly obeyed. As expected, the coachman's complexion improved a lot after a while, and he could speak normally.
The two government officials quickly helped the coachman to the front of Han Captou.
When the coachman saw Mr. Han, he quickly thanked Mr. Han and then informed Mr. Han, Mr. Tousai, that they had been robbed by bandits.
As soon as they heard that there were really bandits, and that this group of bandits had come out to rob the mountain, Capt. Han and the surrounding officials all changed their colors instantly.
Although they have received a notice from Lou Zhixian of Qixia Town, they will go to Qixia Town for a meeting and negotiations tomorrow. However, they were always dubious about the existence of this bandit.
It can be said that if Captain Han hadn't advocated that it would be better to believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist, they wouldn't even bother to hold a joint consultation meeting.
The government officials and police officers had not yet recovered from their shock. They had never encountered bandits before, and they seemed a little overwhelmed and panicked at this time.
Seeing everyone like this, Capt. Han couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.
'If they are like this, what will happen to the security of Shibalipu after he retires? '
But Capt. Han also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this, so he quickly gave instructions.
"You, go and report to the county magistrate immediately, saying that there are indeed bandits in Cuiwei Mountain." He ordered a government official.
"Yes!" The Yamen servant quickly took the order and went forward.
"You two, take him and come with me." Capt. Han quickly said to the two men in police uniforms behind him.
"Yes, yes." The two of them responded with some fear.
Seeing the two of them like this, Capt. Han sighed in his heart again. With such courage, how can he take on such a big responsibility?
However, Capt. Han didn't have time to reprimand them. He led everyone to the stable, mounted three fast horses and chased Shopkeeper Sai to the place where they were robbed.
Yes, you read that right, they were chased on horseback!
Different from Qixia Town County Government, although Shibalipu County Government is also just a county government, compared with the two, it is a day and a place.
Not only did the Shibalipu County Government Office have horses, but the manpower was several times that of the Qixia Town County Government Office.
For example, in Qixia Town before, there was only one head catcher, Lao Xing, and not even one policeman. However, in Shibalipu, there was one headcatcher and five or six policemen.
The reason is that the geographical location of Shibalipu is more important than Qixia Town.
Although Qixia Town and Shibalipu are adjacent counties, they are very close to each other, less than fifty miles apart. However, this is a slight difference, but it is a huge mistake.
Qixia Town is located to the north and is blocked by the Xiliang River to the west, so most of the merchants traveling between the north and the south will choose to pass through here.
This Shibalipu is different. Whether you are a merchant traveling from north to south or a hero traveling east to west, you must pass through here.
Even if you are going to Qixia Town, Shibalipu is almost a must-see, unless you are crossing the Yellow River directly from the north.
To put it simply, Shibalipu is at the intersection of east, west, north and south.
Qixia Town is located north of this point and is a resting point on the way north from Shibalipu.
Shibalipu is not so much a town as it is a supply point for traveling merchants.
In fact, its formation stems from this.
However, everything has its pros and cons. The increase in the floating population has led to the prosperity of the local economy, but it has also made public security management more difficult. The security aspect is not as good as that in Qixia Town.
Therefore, it is very reasonable that the manpower and configuration of Shibalipu County Government are better than those of Qixia Town.
However, at this time, Shibalipu County Government had already fallen into a period of drought.
Of course, this is something.
——————————————————————————————
While Han Baotou and the others were galloping, Xiaoliu in the forest was also galloping at a high speed.
But it's a pity that he didn't have a horse to ride on. Instead, he was as tired as a poor 'horse'!
The two beauties on his back and in his arms felt quite comfortable, with one carrying them and the other holding them.
Poor our Xiaoliu, the mountain road is already rugged and difficult, and the two people in front and behind seriously affect his movements.
Even though Xiaoliu was born with supernatural powers and had some success in Qinggong, it was extremely difficult to walk at this time because he still had to control his heartbeat and emotions.
The contact and feeling are mutual. They have feelings, and Xiaoliu naturally has feelings too.
Those delicate fragrances, skin touching each other, soft and boneless, Xiao Liu couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Being confused is a taboo for a warrior. When the mind is confused, the energy will dissipate. When this Qi is gone, it will be difficult to use your Qing Gong.
It can be said that Xiaoliu is undergoing the biggest test since he mastered Qing Gong.
Fortunately, although this journey was difficult, it was not too long after all, and soon Xiaoliu successfully came out with the two girls.
"Deputy Yan, who are you arresting?"
The hunters who were setting traps couldn't help but feel a little confused when they saw Xiao Liu going into the mountain and bringing two women out.
'There are still women in these deep mountains and forests? '
The rest of the people heard his voice and gathered around one after another. At this time, Xiaoliu gently placed the two women on the rocks.
When the two women saw so many men surrounding them, their faces turned red with embarrassment.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Liu quickly helped to rescue him. He told everyone the cause and effect.
When everyone heard that Xiao Liu actually killed five bandits in one breath and saved two women, they immediately screamed in surprise.
Xiao Liu quickly suppressed everyone's excitement and asked everyone to help make two stretchers to carry the two girls back.
Everyone agreed.
A stretcher is simple and easy to make. After everyone cut down a few bamboos and tied them with vines, this simple stretcher was formed.
Of course, there is no need to consider comfort.
However, Shopkeeper Sai and the two are not ignorant people. At this time, returning home safely is the most important thing.
Xiao Liu called to the four detectives who came with him and asked them to carry the two women back safely.
At the same time, he also asked another detective to go ahead and return to Qixia Town to report the news.
After the bandit who ran away returns, a large number of bandits will surely attack soon.
He planned to inflict heavy damage on those bandits right here.
To seek peace with peace is just to be at the mercy of others; only to seek peace with a great victory can the bandits be deterred, so that they dare not act rashly and buy time for the arrival of the imperial army.
After the two groups left, Xiao Liu turned around and spoke to the people in Beikou Village, unraveling his plan.
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. This group of bandits was like a sharp sword hanging over their village at Beikou, and they naturally hoped to break it.
After explaining the matter, Xiaoliu flew into the Cuiwei Mountain again, and everyone in Beikou Village began to get busy.
Just like that, a big net has been quietly set up. The next step is to see whether the fish breaks through the net or is captured after being decapitated.
