Chapter 285: Suppressing Bandits (Part II)

In the following days, Wei Yunmo took the list and began to clean up the various bandit strongholds, and for a while the bandit leaders heard that the two people were frightened, and even began to bribe officials to save their lives.

"This is the last bandit stronghold." Wuwei looked at the mountain in front of him and said.

Counting this, it is already the fifth stronghold, but Wei Yunmo is a little unsatisfied, thinking about his sister's fate, he can't stop longing to kill now.

"Let's go, after the killing, it's time to figure out who kidnapped my sister."

Just as the two of them walked in, they saw the officers and soldiers on the side surrounding, "Who are you two?" What are you doing here? ”

"We are ordered to exterminate the bandits, please let them go." Wei Yunmo said.

At this time, I saw a man in an official uniform walking out: "I'm sorry two, I came to suppress the bandits on the order of the county lord, please go back." ”

Seeing that he couldn't take revenge, Wei Yunmo was a little excited: "Please also ask my lord to let me participate in the suppression of bandits, my family was brutally murdered by bandits, please let me join." ”

However, the other party looked impatient: "Do you know how many people in Lanling Country are persecuted by these bandits?" You weren't the only one, but you turned around and went back to your tent. ”

Seeing that there were many people on the other side and that they were local officials, they were embarrassed to argue with them and had to go back.

However, halfway through, he suddenly saw Ouyang Yue who came with his troops.

"Huh? Where are you going? There are bandits around there. Ouyang Yue reminded, it seemed to have another meaning.

After the two explained the matter, Ouyang Yue couldn't help but ponder, why did Gu Miaoxuan suppress the bandits at this time? Obviously, there was no such order before.

Wei Yunmo looked at Ouyang Yue's thinking, and also felt that something was wrong.

"General Ouyang, could it be that there is something strange about this matter?" Wuwei asked.

"This time it's a big deal, but the county lord took the initiative to send troops to suppress the bandits, although it makes sense, but it's very possible, let's wait and see what happens." Ouyang Yue said.

Wuwei on the side also comforted Wei Yunmo, now that they have taken revenge, it is not bad for a day or two, will the other party still run away?

Wei Yunmo looked at the two of them and agreed, plus he was a little tired in the past few days, and he had been relying on his strength to survive.

However, two days later, Wei Yunmo and Wuwei felt that something was wrong, because at this time, Gu Miaoxuan's people had already suppressed the bandits, why did they stay still at this time?

With such a question, Wei Yunmo came to the other party's tent again, only to see that the people inside were still calm and relaxed, and there was no momentum at all.

Finding the official at the time, Wei Yunmo asked again.

"General Wei, I know you are eager for revenge, but bandits have been rampant for a long time, and their strength is not bad, we have already lost a lot of people, and it is not wise to attack by force."

The other party's answer made Wei Yunmo look puzzled, obviously he had already gone around in a circle, and he didn't see the wounded, and the official was afraid that he was not really talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Just when Wei Yunmo wanted to go into the mountain to take a look, the other party immediately sent soldiers to surround Wei Yunmo.

"General Wei, we are also for your safety, please don't embarrass us." The head official said.

The soldiers surrounded him, making him a little helpless, why did such a person waste time here instead of suppressing the bandits?

Unless there is only one possibility, and that is that they have colluded with the bandits.

But now he has no evidence, so he has to give up and leave.

"My lord, I hope to hear the news of your victory in two days, otherwise, General Ouyang will personally lead his troops here." After Wei Yunmo finished speaking, he left with a cold snort.

Watching Wei Yunmo leave, the officials and soldiers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because the people in front of them were too terrible, and the matter of Wei Yunmo's non-stop suppression of bandits in the past few days had resounded throughout the Lanling Kingdom, and in the name of General Ouyang Ouyang, they distributed the money of the bandits to the people, and for a while, the Ouyang family became a lot more famous.

"Huh, it's okay, if you really do it, how many people here may not be enough to pay." The official said in a cold sweat.

"My lord, what shall we do now?" The soldier on the side asked.

"You send men inside at once, and let them leave from the back of the mountain quickly, and I will buy them some more time."

After going back, Wei Yunmo told what happened this time, and Ouyang Yue seemed to think of something after hearing it.

"I heard before that there was a collusion between the bandits and the local officials, if this matter is true..."Ouyang Yue asked.

"So, this official is here to put on a show, or is it that they're here to cover the bandits' departure?" Wei Yunmo was surprised.

Then, Ouyang Yue took out the map, pointed to a place on it and explained: "There is a mountain road behind this mountain, this is something that many people know, if there are no officers and soldiers to guard, it is said that the other party deliberately let the bandits leave, if someone guards it, it is bribed, and then we will have a chance to arrest them." ”

After Wei Yunmo and the others understood, they immediately set out to investigate, if the bandits had already left, Wei Yunmo might be killed.

Due to the identity problem, Ouyang Yue can only lead the troops not far away to prepare to respond, if the other party's officials really collude with the bandits, then they can take the opportunity to arrest people.

The next morning, the two came to the back mountain, and sure enough, they saw the mountain road that Ouyang Yue said at that time.

"Ouyang Yue is right, there is really something greasy here."

I saw that there were indeed officers and soldiers guarding there, but surprisingly, the two of them waited there for almost half a day without finding any bandits, but the officers and soldiers who walked into the mountain from time to time attracted their attention.

"General Wei, you said that now they don't suppress bandits, but just send people to the mountains to do something?" Wuwei asked.

"If I were a bandit, I would have should... Wait, I see! ”

At this time, I saw an officer and soldier come over a little awkwardly, take a look, and then take out a silver ingot and step forward, and after saying a few words, he left.

"Damn, these people are bandits!" Wei Yunmo said excitedly.

Wei Yunmo's movement aroused the suspicion of the surrounding soldiers, and the two of them hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Did you hear anything just now, it seems to be coming from over there?" The bandit asked two officers and soldiers.

"I heard that too, why don't you go and have a look?" A soldier said.

However, the other soldier was a little impatient: "You hurry up and finish the matter, you don't care about these little things, the adults are about to be unable to hide it." ”

However, the two ignored what the other party said, picked up their weapons and slowly approached, after all, they were careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

"Hah!"

The two screamed and came to the neighborhood, only to find that there was no one.

"It's strange, I just heard this voice, did I hear it wrong?"

The officers and soldiers on the side urged: "Don't make trouble, let's hurry up and carry the things away!" ”

Subsequently, everything returned to normal.

Wei Yunmo looked at their behavior, clenched his fists and said excitedly: "No wonder Lanling Country has always been a small country, officials and bandits colluded to oppress the people, and such a country should be destroyed as soon as possible." ”

"General Wei, you go back first and tell this kind of person to get ready, and I'll find out their whereabouts." Wu Wei proposed.

Wei Yunmo was a little hesitant, but he still agreed, and left after a few words.

Wu Wei observed the bandits who were dressed in official clothes back and forth, paying attention to their movements, and suddenly had an idea.

After a while, I saw a bandit walking out of the mountain road with a box, and Wuwei immediately followed.

After walking for a mile or so, I saw the other party stop at a tea house, and took out a box from his arms and handed it to the boss here when no one was there.

"Good guys, it turned out to be trading here." Wuwei exclaimed.

Then he was very skilled in asking for steamed buns and water, and Wuwei also walked over by the way at this time.

"Boss, let's have some steamed buns and water."

Seeing that the other party was dressed in tatters, and the copper sword on his body was more valuable, the two suddenly didn't even have the intention of robbing, although copper swords are rare, but things like this have been looking at it for a long time, and there are traces of rust spots on it, and it is also a big discount to sell it.

This thankless voice, forget it.

The two seemed to have reached a consensus, so they casually greeted each other.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes come to the tea house and sit down, Wuwei lowered his head to eat steamed buns, and continued to observe the three people.

Based on his experience, he could roughly deduce that the person who came over should have been in contact with them.

"Boss, I want a bowl of Yangchun noodles! Fill these kettles for me! The middle-aged man said politely.

Wuwei took a sip of tea, and when he was about to leave, he saw the eyes of the middle-aged man and the bandit meet, and then say something similar to a code.

"Brother Ye, are you here to do business again this time?" The bandit said.

"Yes, this world is not good, you can't always do business in the same place, right? It's just to make ends meet. After speaking, he pointed to several carriages behind him and said.

At this time, Wu Wei found that there were two carriages parked not far from the middle-aged man, although they were carriages, they were only a few wooden boxes loaded with goods.

However, the strange thing is that although there is no problem with what this middle-aged man said, there is no one else along the way, is he really not afraid of being robbed?

"This big brother, I heard that several mountains near here are strongholds of bandits, so you are doing business alone?" Wuwei asked.

For a while, I saw that there was no sound in the tea house, and even the boss was silent, and the middle-aged man didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Wuwei continued: "Also, seeing that you don't have much money like this, it is estimated that the bandits are too lazy to rob you." ”
