The fierce fight lasted for more than ten minutes!
This time, there were more than fifty people from the Mountain God Gang!
With the advantage of the crossbows, five soldiers were injured and no one died.
Lin Yue's carriage was surrounded by people, but fortunately it was not harmed.
In order to protect Lin Yue, Ziying's arm was chopped with a knife. The wound was not deep and did not threaten her vitals.
Lin Yue was in shock, holding Xie Fan's hand, "Fan Bao, what should I do now?"
Xie Fan asked Zhang Chao to take back the crossbow arrows to avoid leaving evidence of crime, "See if there are any survivors and bring them over for questioning!"
A very clever man tried to escape by hiding under the corpse.
Zhang Chao brought this man over.
Xie Fan stepped forward and took a look. Although the man's appearance had changed, he was undoubtedly Qian Wu. "Qian Wu, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"
"Master, I was passing by! I don't know them! Please spare my life!" Qian Wu knelt there, shivering, and a large area of the ground was wet.
"If you tell the truth, I might spare your life!"
"Master, I will confess, I will confess everything!"
"Tell me, who ordered you?"
Qian Wu lowered his head, weighing the pros and cons, "No one is instructing me! As soon as the sun rose in the willow forest, I joined the Mountain God Gang. I am here to make some money!"
Xie Fan picked up the big knife and pulled the other party's ear, "How about cutting off one of your ears first?"
Qian Wu immediately softened, "I'll tell you! It's General Wu! He promised that as long as I listen to him, he will spare me the death penalty!"
"Who is General Wu?"
"Wu Dagui! General of the Liulin Army, what I said is all the truth!"
"Wu Dagui and I don't know each other. Why did he kill me?"
"I heard that there is a young master from western Sichuan who doesn't like the young master. I overheard this, and I don't know anything else!"
Lin Yue stared and thought carefully, there was no one else in western Sichuan, it could only be the Yuan family!
Xie Fan let go of his hand and looked down at the other party, "Who are these Mountain God Gang? Where is their home base?"
Qian Wu's eyes wandered and he swallowed, "Master, I dare not say it!"
Zhang Chao put the long sword on his neck, "This man is dishonest, so let's kill him!"
Qian Wu squeezed out a few tears, "Although they are bandits, they are supported by high-ranking officials and ordinary people cannot afford to offend them!"
Xie Fan remembered that Liao Yong was a little helpless when he mentioned this group of bandits. But Qian Wu obviously knew something, "Tell me what you know, and I'll give you a sum of money and let you go!"
Qian Wu struggled fiercely for a long time, but still showed a greedy look, "Master, I can only tell you this matter!"
"You guys, step back first!"
"Master, I'm still tied up!"
Once people have the capital to threaten others, they feel that they have a bargaining chip.
Xie Fan said with a cold face, "Commander Zhang, chop off both of his arms!"
"Master! Wait!"
Without much effort, Qian Wu fell to the ground, looking at his arms leaving his body in horror, "Xie Fan, your uncle! I greet your eighteenth generation of ancestors!"
Xie Fan smiled slightly, "It seems that you are not willing to say it now!"
Qian Wu stared at Xie Fan with resentful eyes.
In order to survive, he could only choose to endure it, "The Mountain God Gang is spread all over the Luo Kingdom and is the general's minions!"
Xie Fan waved his hand, "Commander Zhang, make things clean! Tell the brothers to keep this matter confidential and go back to collect the reward!"
Ziying helped Lin Yue back to the carriage and was still in a state of shock after witnessing such a bloody scene.
Unexpectedly, the young master would encounter such danger.
After leaving Yanchun Tower, the world outside turned out to be like this.
Lin Yue held Xie Fan's hand, "How many lives are these!"
Xie Fan smiled helplessly, "Just think of it as getting rid of harm for the people!"
Not long after, the team continued on its way home.
In the meantime, the team stopped several times to buy some medicine.
On the third day, we finally arrived at the boundary of Feng County.
People are tired and horses are exhausted, and their spirits are also in a state of exhaustion.
Zhang Chao sent people back to Taiyin Mountain to find someone to help him.
Xie Fan got off the carriage and remembered that there were still some unpaid favors in Shakou.
At this point, the grudges with the Yuan family have been accumulated.
It was a simple matter, but I didn't expect it to develop to such an extent.
As for the Mountain God Gang, they actually have a background in the imperial court. I wonder if they can be good.
The construction of the Xie family has just gradually begun to go on the right track, and we cannot take any risks.
Unexpectedly, the war at the border did not come, but we had to be wary of all forces in the Luo Kingdom first.
Zhang Chao brought dry food and said, "Master, we have to be careful about the Mountain God Gang! How about I take my people and recruit some soldiers?"
Private soldiers are not allowed in Luo Country.
However, without soldiers, how can we face threats from all sides?
Xie Fan called him aside and expressed his thoughts, "In recent years, there must be many veterans who have retired. In addition to those who are old and frail, they still have a lot of fighting power. If we can let them live in the mountains ,Enough!"
Zhang Chao knows many such people. Many of them have returned to their hometowns and are also facing difficulties in life. "Master, these people are easy to talk to. You need to get more money."
Xie Fan smiled. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. "You should arrange this first. As for the settlement expenses, it will be twenty taels per person, plus a house, okay?"
"Master, ten taels is enough. An ordinary person can live for a year with just two taels of silver!"
"You decide the matter of money! Come to Xie's house, you will get monthly money, and your family will make arrangements for it!"
Xie Fan thought, if these people could go to the mountain. On the one hand, you can develop mulberry farming, and on the other hand, you can strengthen the defense of the village, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Chao still felt that these were too optimistic, "Master, one hundred people are equivalent to one thousand taels of silver. Plus the house, the cost is not small!"
Xie Fan sighed. It would be nice if it rained one day and some gold ingots could rain down. "I'll take care of the money issue! I killed so many people from the Mountain God Gang this time. I wonder if there will be any difficulties next?"
Zhang Chao was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Master, I think the Xie family has offended someone?"
"You should be offended, Mr. Yuan from western Sichuan, have you heard of it?"
"Young master, you can rest assured! The Yuan family in western Sichuan is still inferior in reputation compared to the general. They have killed so many people, and it should be hard to explain to the superiors!"
"I hope so!" Xie Fan hoped that after these few fights, the Yuan family could restrain themselves.
I'm just afraid that if I miss a hit, I will become even more furious.
In the distance, several carriages arrived.
Dong Zhong came with his people to greet him.
Everyone is on the road again.
"Thank you, brother, for your hard work all the way!" Dong Zhong said politely, his face was bright and bright, and he had a good life recently.
Xie Fan said with a bad smile, "Next, brother, thank you for your hard work!"
