Chapter 98: Bandits are rampant
After leaving, Ye Chen first went to the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce to get a detailed map of the Northern Regions, and then rushed to the Heavenly Demon Ridge, releasing his spiritual sense along the way, for fear that another killer would attack. It takes two days to get from the imperial capital to the Heavenly Demon Ridge, which is still a non-stop rush, and the Qingyun Mountain Range takes half a day to reach, but Ye Chen did not choose the Qingyun Mountain Range, but chose the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
Because Ye Chen wants to see more of the rest of the places, even if it is full of danger and crisis, he has to take a look, after all, many crises are accompanied by chance, blindly nesting here can only think about the good thing of the world dropping pie, even if there is really one, it is someone else's loss, rather than this, it is better to go out and find his own opportunity, just like the phoenix blood on his body, isn't it the opportunity he found?
Soon, Ye Chen left the imperial capital and rushed to the Heavenly Demon Ridge in the south, vigilantly paying attention to the changes around him, and having time to react in case of a change. But what he didn't expect was that until he walked far away, no killer appeared, which made him wonder if the other party was preparing some trap or something.
Not long after, Ye Chen saw a village from a distance, but he found that the village was a little chaotic at the moment, and many figures were walking around, as if something had happened, which made him hurry over.
I saw that there were many fierce-looking strong men in the village at this moment, they were looting their belongings in the village, and the villagers were gathered together, guarded by four strong men, and they could only watch their houses being looted, and did not dare to complain.
This made Ye Chen furious, he couldn't imagine that he was so close to the imperial capital, and the robbers dared to be so rampant, aren't they afraid that the royal family will beat them all under the wrath of the thunder, Ye Chen rushed up directly, in his eyes, these robbers were no different from ordinary people, and he beat the four robbers who were guarding to the ground in three or two strokes, and then helped the eldest of the villagers up.
"Old man, what's going on, it's so close to the imperial capital, these robbers dare to be so presumptuous, they don't even take the Heavenly Imperial Family in their eyes!" Ye Chen said angrily.
This made the old man smile bitterly: "They didn't take the royal family in their eyes, the young man didn't know, there were not so many robbers, but what Cheng thought that the royal family didn't care about it, saying that it was to be left for the students of their royal academy to use, and no one governed the robbers naturally made the robbers extremely rampant, and many men who were engaged in serious work also gave up their jobs and chose to be a robber, which can not only avoid bullying, but also earn more money, which is the fundamental reason for the rampant bandits." ”
Ye Chen frowned: "The royal family doesn't care?"
At this time, one of the young men in the back said angrily: "It's because they don't care about it that it has caused it to be so rampant, and it was said that it was left to the students of the Royal Academy, it has been four months, and no one has come to clean them up, they have become even more rampant, they come to sweep every three days, and they can't even leave anything at home!"
Hearing the young man's words, Ye Chen carefully recalled the tasks in the academy, there were indeed many tasks to exterminate robbers and rogue bandits, but the points given were too small, and no one would accept these tasks at all. But this can't be used as a reason for the royal family to ignore it, no matter how this area belongs to the Celestial Emperor, isn't the royal family afraid of losing the hearts of the people if they do this?
"You wait for me for a moment. After that, Ye Chen turned around and walked into the village, took out all the robbers who were still searching for property inside, and then threw them in front of the villagers, three of the robbers also had Qiankun bags on them, which made Ye Chen feel surprised, just a group of ordinary robbers, where did they get the Qiankun bags?
"Either the thing stays and then rolls, or the people stay and the thing stays, you choose one." "Ye Chen didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters, and he had to hurry up, so he had to let go of these robbers for the time being, and let people deal with them when he returned to the academy.
"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in your business, we are..."One of the robbers said viciously towards Ye Chen, but was interrupted by the other.
"This son, of course we choose to leave things, after all, there is only one life, but things can be obtained. ”
After that, this person motioned to the other two to untie the Qiankun bag tied around his waist, and then put it on the ground, looking at Ye Chen with a smile: "Childe, everything is placed here, you see...?"
Ye Chen was very interested in what the person said just now, as if there was some background behind them, but he knew that when he was interrupted by this person, he would definitely not be able to ask anything, so he had to glance at it, and then said: "Get out, if you let me see it, you will not be spared." ”
This made the face of the person in front of him also dyed a layer of gloom: "Young man, you must know that you will see each other in the future by leaving a line in your work." ”
Ye Chen sneered: "Why do you have to leave a line with you, get out, if you don't get out, I'll let you all stay here!"
This person glanced at Ye Chen deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind, and then didn't say anything, but left here with everyone.
When all the robbers left, Ye Chen took out all the things in the three Qiankun bags, only to see that most of them were ordinary belongings, and there were some first-class elixirs, but Ye Chen also found something unexpected inside, pills. This made Ye Chen have a strong interest, obviously they are a group of robbers, but they have Qiankun bags and pills, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like ordinary robbers, just rely on their skills, how many years can they rob these ordinary people in exchange for a pill.
"You divide all the property here, and I'll go back and talk about it later, let them organize a clearance operation, and see if these robbers dare to be so rampant when the time comes. ”
The old man sighed slightly, looked at Ye Chen and smiled bitterly: "It's really unwise for the young man to offend these robbers for us, we are just ordinary people, and even the royal family has no jurisdiction, so why should the young master do this." ”
Ye Chen said heartily: "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, I think there should be something to be done here, not to mention how can I be afraid of a group of robbers, but the local chicken and tile dog are vulnerable." ”
"Well, even if you drive them away today, they will come back tomorrow, so why sin against them for us. And we are all used to it, there are no valuable things at home for a long time, if they want to come, just let them come, it is really unwise for Shaoxia to do this. ”
Ye Chen looked at his uncle with some doubts, not understanding why he said this, he had obviously done a good thing, but in his eyes, it seemed that he had done a bad thing: "I will leave the things to you, and you can distribute them yourself." ”
After that, Ye Chen left without looking back, and continued to hurry, and then he also found out why the old man would say that it was unwise for him to do this, because there were too many robbers along the way, and in just three hours, he encountered seven groups of robbers, and at the beginning he would take care of them, and he didn't even bother to take care of them later, just like the old man said, if you drive them away today, they will come back tomorrow, so what is the difference between the two. If you want to solve this problem completely, you need to deal with it from the root, if you can't catch them all, then sooner or later they will come back.
At the same time, Ye Chen was also very curious about their origins, if one or two groups of robbers had Qiankun bags, it would be easy to say, but all the robbers he met had Qiankun bags, then there must be someone behind them who was supporting them, otherwise where did the Qiankun bags and pills come from?
But who is supporting them to do this kind of robbery, how can the person who can take out the Qiankun bag and the pill lack these ordinary belongings, I don't understand, I really don't understand.
