Prior to this, Mei Xiaoren had imagined countless scenes of encounters with bandits: such as a narrow encounter, such as a horse-drawn carriage being attacked, such as a horse-drawn carriage surrounding...... None of them are motionless.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

Ye Zhi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that there is a mistake in the line report?" Or did we miss the time and the bandits went somewhere else? ”

Mei Xiaoren's heart almost fell to the bottom.

Isn't this a missed opportunity?

"Newspaper—" The official ran with a long tail and pointed to the front of the forest, "My lord, in front." ”

The people who had just wilted down suddenly cheered up, and they were all ready to do their best, just waiting for Mei Xiaoren's order.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't wait to rush in front of everyone, ran along the road to the place where the officials reported, and stopped behind a big tree when he was about to get closer, beckoning everyone to hide on the spot, and then take a look at the situation.

In front of it was a flat land, surrounded by dense trees and green grass, and a waterfall cascading down from the top of the hill into a misty pond.

There is a row of willow trees planted by the pond, and the willow branches hang down and sway gently in the breeze.

The scenery is beautiful, but what is more striking than the scenery is a gang of bandits by the pond.

She was really late, and the twenty or so bandits with real knives and guns had already surrounded other "fat sheep", or a group of fat sheep from other places that she looked at her.

One of the "fat sheep" team led the way, two people rode to protect the carriage, and there were people behind who drove the carriage to carry the coffin. They wore the same dark brown clothes, but there were less than ten people combined, and they were no match for the bandits.

Mei Xiaoren sighed in her heart, she originally wanted to be a bait herself, but she never thought it would be too late, so she could only grieve and wronged these outsiders.

Zhou Hu hid behind a tree and wondered: "These people look rich, but they are here for the funeral, and the bandits don't even let them go?" ”

Ye Zhi explained in a low voice: "The funeral will bring a lot of funeral goods, which is in line with the bandits." ”

"Shh Mei Xiaoren instructed them to be quiet and take a look at the situation first.

The man at the head of the "fat sheep" pile dismounted and rebuked the bandits: "Bold, do you know who you are waiting for?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this road was opened by Lao Tzu, don't leave any money, don't care if you're dead or alive, don't think about it!"

As soon as the bandit leader's voice fell, the other minions drew their knives one after another, and the sound of "brushing-" came and went.

Looks like it's going to get serious.

Let the family be used as bait as bait, but the deceased is the greatest, Mei Xiaoren can't bear to let these fat sheep suffer, so he gave up secretly observing and hurriedly acted according to the plan.

She raised her right hand.

Ye Zhi understood and put a wooden whistle into Mei Xiaoren's palm.

After a while, a clear whistle sounded in the woods. The group of bandits was about to slaughter the "sheep", but they were disturbed by the whistle and stopped together.

Then, there was a lot of movement around...... I saw another group of people rushing out of the mountains and forests, each with a weapon, and surrounded the bandits again with twice the number of bandits.

This scene looks like a praying mantis catching a cicada, with the yellow finch behind.

"That's ...... Bandits? Zhou Hu was stunned.

There are many enemies and we are outnumbered, and the bandits, who were still fierce and vicious just now, are intimidated, looking at the people who come in a panic, holding the big knife, but their steps are moving around uneasily.

Because they have no way out, let alone a way out.

"Who are you!" The bandit leader asked angrily.

The leader of the bandits pointed his thumb at himself and shouted: "This mountain, Lao Tzu opens, you are here to rob Lao Tzu of his job, are you tired of being crooked?" ”

The bandits looked at each other a few times, gathered together, and a few of them gathered together, as if to discuss countermeasures.

The second leader of the bandits tried to discuss with the bandits: "That...... There is also a first-come, first-served, first-served rule......"

The head of the bandit poked the knife in his hand to the ground, and said lightly with the knife: "Don't talk about the rules, you are these people, and you dare to rob Lao Tzu's business?" ”

The "fat sheep" who were trapped in the middle were confused, and Zhou Hu and his brothers who were hiding in the woods were also in the clouds.

What kind of time and place are favorable, and they can still meet the black and eat the black and reap the profits?

Only Ye Zhi and Mei Xiaoren remained calm.

Just when everyone was in the clouds, Mei Xiaoren had already appeared from behind the tree and walked towards the group of bandits.

Zhou Hu was entangled in whether to stop the adults, after all, there was already more than a group of bandits in front of him, and there was also a nest of bandits, how dangerous it was.

"Everyone's hard work." Mei Xiaoren walked as he walked.

When the bandits heard the sound, they began to back off in both directions, leaving a way.

Mei Xiaoren walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the bandits who were already turtles in the urn. She unfolded her folding fan and fluttered a few times to see what tricks they could play.

The bandit leader put the knife on his shoulder, patted his chest and said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry about my errands, they can't run!" ”

Mei Xiaoren put away the folding fan, took a few steps forward, glanced at the bandit and asked, "I don't understand the rules of martial arts, so I called these people and said, how do you want to live?" ”

"You're an official?" The bandits looked at each other

Mei Xiaoren unfolded the folding fan and fanned the wind carelessly: "You came to my territory to do evil, I don't know who I am?" ”

"This is Lord Lingmei of Qiushui County, you can rob Lao Tzu of his job, but you can't commit crimes on the territory of adults!" The leader of the bandits pointed at the bandits with a broadsword.

Mei Xiaoren stood still, lowered his eyes and raised his hand, "It's all tied." ”

There are many people, and it is obviously not possible to come hard, and many bandits choose to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy: "My lord, spare my life...... Adults spare their lives, and we are also forced to make ends meet......"

Only a few of them were still standing, looking unyielding, including the bandit leaders.

Mei Xiaoren recalled slowly: "Daning has one hundred and seventeen prefectures, one hundred and thirty-four prefectures, and one thousand and six counties, and you don't go anywhere, but you come to the counties of Xuanzhou Prefecture, so you appreciate your face, if this official does not invite you to sit in the yamen on behalf of the prefect Lord Li, it will be rude." ”

The bandit leader shouted: "Get up for me, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken!" ”

"If you want to die, you have to ask people if they want to."

Mei Xiaoren glanced at the bandit leader. He was really in a hurry, and suddenly raised his big knife and slashed at her.

It's a pity that it's a little late - the moment he lifts the knife, the two knives are not biased or oblique, and they are right on his neck.

Zhou Hu is also a clever person, knowing the truth that the thief captures the king first, and quietly brought his brothers to surround him and kidnap the bandit leader.

The soldiers are bloodless, and the bandits are captured one after another.

Mei Xiaoren indifferently watched the bandits put ropes on the bandits, and when the bandits were all tied into zongzi and escorted to the side of the road to wait, she nodded with satisfaction.

Mei Xiaoren was about to turn around and leave, but saw the curtain of the carriage shake a few times.

Perhaps because of the wind, even the catkins began to fly and disperse between the heavens and the earth, like fine snow.

A figure got out of the carriage, brushed his wide sleeves, dusted off the catkins on his clothes, and stood beside the car looking at her.

The sky was still covered with snow on his white clothes.

White wadding, white clothes...... He was independent there, like a flawless jade, with an innate jade bone and clear posture.

She took a few steps closer and saw that there was a jade crown and ink hair on top of the white clothes, like a peak sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes were deep and unpredictable, and the contours of the nose and lips were impeccably outlined...... Every single one of them is like the finishing touch.

I don't know if it's like a person, or if it's a picture......

If it is a painting, it is a work of shock.

Mei Xiaoren looked at the man in white, and suddenly became distracted.

"Your Excellency."

She was shocked back to her senses when Ye Zhi shouted like this.

This is a funeral procession, and he should be wearing filial piety clothes.

When he came down, he looked at her like this, and his long figure stood upright. He opened his lips and asked, "My lord is the county magistrate here?" ”

It sounds like it is.

Mei Xiaoren nodded, but his eyes were still paying attention to his every move, and he muttered to himself in his heart: "There is an official spirit!" ”

In order to prevent any adult from neglecting, she hurriedly asked Ye Zhi in a low voice: "Is there any adult who is going to pass by us recently?" ”

Ye Zhi shook his head: "There is no news." ”

No matter who he is, the deceased is the greatest, Mei Xiaoren didn't want to delay them more, so he arched his hand to the man in white and said: "This road leads to Yun County, and there is no county order in Yun County recently, so Brother Tai will bring this person, you must be careful." ”

"Thank you for the reminder."

Mei Xiaoren had already turned around, and when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but look back at the man in white again.

Lin Tianbao, the leader of the bandits, caught up with Mei Xiaoren, carried a knife and said with a smile: "My lord, the brothers are okay with this errand, right?" ”

"Okay, can you still come forward as the head of the house?" Mei Xiaoren said and took out a silver ingot and threw it to Lin Tianbao.

"Thank you, Lord for the reward."

Mei Xiaoren looked up at the sky, it was dark, like a mountain rain was coming.

"It's raining soon, why don't adults take refuge in a small cottage?"

Mei Xiaoren nodded in agreement, and after walking a few steps, he remembered the group of "fat sheep" just now, stopped and turned back and asked, "The road ahead is rugged, and it is inconvenient to travel in the rain, why don't you go to shelter from the rain together?" ”

The man in white had returned to the carriage, and the leader of the horse, as if he had not made up his mind, dismounted and went to the men in the carriage, and when he was allowed to follow them.

Lin Tianbao looked disgusted: "My lord, they can bring a coffin ......"

Mei Xiaoren patted Lin Tianbao's shoulder: "Coffin coffin, get promoted and make a fortune, this is to bring wealth to your village." ”
