269 Mountain bandits
The affairs of the two senior brothers in the capital, An Chuxia is now beyond the reach of the whip chief, and he can't control it.
The spies sent out by Si Heng here have come back to report that they have been hiding in the hidden place on the Black Tiger Cliff for five days, and the water source for those mountain bandits to drink is a mountain spring with abundant water, and the water flowing from the spring.
And they also have a regular time to fetch water every day, every day between the hour and the hour.
The two personal guards sent by Si Heng were not only calm and cautious, but also very flexible.
After discovering the pattern of the daily water fetchers, they found a closer place to hide in advance and eavesdropped on the conversations of those people.
I learned that the big boss of the Black Tiger Cliff Mountain Bandit is called the Tiger of the Mountain, which is a metaphor for the tiger who goes up the mountain after going down the mountain to eat enough, and also has to go down the mountain to inevitably rob and return to the mountain after returning with a full load.
Not only that, but the two also brought back an important news, that is, in those mouths, the two also heard the news about An Jinchen and Mu Tan.
"General, An Nujun, my subordinates overheard those people mentioning that the mountain bandits on the Black Tiger Cliff forced Mu Gongzi to develop poison for them.
Say that with these poisons, they can be subdued, and the four bandits and eight villages on this large mountain will become the real king of the mountains here. ”
"And I heard that tomorrow they are going to attack, a place called Crescent Village.
It seems that most of the cottages are women, and they are relatively weak in battle, so the bandits on the Black Tiger Cliff will choose them to be the first cottage to capture. ”
It was just to listen to some more news that it took five or six days for the two of them.
"Those people should set out to attack early tomorrow, that place called Crescent Village, even if we sprinkle poison into the spring tomorrow, it will be difficult to destroy all the bandits." An Chuxia analyzed.
Wen Qingyi was young after all, and when he encountered sudden changes, he was a little overwhelmed, "Then what are we going to do?" ”
An Chuxia and Si Heng glanced at each other, for this matter, something that they expected, the two of them were calm.
No one showed panic because of this sudden incident.
However, seeing that Wen Qingyi and Lan Yue were a little anxious, An Chuxia still said soothingly: "Don't worry about the two of you, although this matter has changed, it is not as we thought, a package of medicine has dealt with them." ”
An Chuxia could see that Lan Yue was anxious, and he was more worried that his father would be in danger, although he and his brother didn't find it.
But since that day when her brother bled to help Lanyue detoxify the Gu poison, she and her brother could feel the change in Lanyue's eyes and attitude when she looked at them.
It seems that this secret doesn't know where the little guy is, and he has known it for a long time, only the four princesses feel that they are hiding it very strictly, and Lanyue doesn't know yet.
"Even this doesn't prevent us, we will rescue your Uncle Chen and Uncle Mu." An Chuxia touched Lanyue's hair.
"Really?" Lan Yue's immature little face raised and looked at An Chuxia and said with certainty.
"When did the teacher lie to you!"
After An Chuxia pacified Lanyue, he turned his head to look at Si Heng, "Tomorrow, the gang of mountain bandits in Black Tiger Cliff will attack the Crescent Village, and there will definitely not be many bandits left behind in their own bandit nest." ”
Si Heng nodded, agreeing with An Chuxia's analysis.
An Chuxia looked at Si Heng, Lan Yue, Wen Qingyi, Zuo Wang and Lin Can, as well as the two guards who reported the situation.
With deep eyes in his eyes, he asked in a calm tone, "What do you think, can you say it and listen to it?" ”
Lan Yue and Wen Qingyi were in the learning stage of dealing with things, the two sat next to them and didn't speak, Zuo Wang and Lin Can must have acted according to orders, and the two guards no longer expressed their opinions after reporting the situation of the Black Tiger Cliff.
Si Heng, who had a solemn face, seemed to guess An Chuxia's thoughts, and coughed lightly, "Your idea, is it not only to rescue Jinchen and Mu Tan tomorrow, but also to go to the Crescent Village to see the situation." ”
An Chuxia didn't seem surprised that Si Heng could guess his thoughts, and the sharpness in his eyes was full of them, "If it's really as that little second said."
This mountain bandit of the Black Tiger Cliff and another bandit called Ghost Mountain not only robbed and killed the passing traders, but also brutally burned and looted the people who had no power to fight back.
I am a person in the narrow sense who wants to be a good person who wants to eliminate violence and peace. ”
For the other two mountain bandits, who are both righteous and evil, after they have discovered clearly, they have not done anything that hurts heaven and reason, and they have done great evil things, and they have been killed.
I don't know how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been killed in the officialdom, and how many villains have been brought to justice, how can An Chuxia be a soft-hearted person.
"Okay, this time, let's be a chivalrous warrior for the people and businessmen of the Quartet." Si Heng looked at An Chuxia and said with a conniving look in his eyes.
He looked at Lin Can and ordered: "Go and call Eagle Claw, I remember that he was sent here in Lingnan a few years ago to do a mission, let him tell me about the general situation here in Lingnan." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Lin Can brought a medium-sized and slightly thin guard from the resting team over there.
After coming over, he gave the grandson the moon, and after Si Heng and An Chuxia saluted.
"Tell me about what you know about the situation here in Lingnan."
Talon said respectfully, "Yes, General! ”
"On the edge of Lingnan, the mountains here are endless, lush, densely layered, and most of the people here originally lived by the mountains, and the land was scarce.
There is not much food that can be harvested, and after paying taxes every year, the remaining food may only barely be enough for my family to survive.
If you encounter corrupt officials with black hearts, you can imagine how sad the life of the people here is.
Lingnan is located in a remote and mostly mountainous area, and it is difficult for officials who come here to make political achievements, and most of them will exploit the people here when there is no hope of promotion.
For a long time, when life is not guaranteed, many people choose to flee into the mountains, and slowly become landless black households.
Those who are ruthless and cruel and unkind slowly gather together and become mountain bandits who really kill people and oversell goods, just like the bandits of Black Tiger Cliff and Ghost Mountain that Xiao Er said, this should be how they were formed.
The other two cottages, the bandits on Donghualing and Daqing Mountain, should be their leaders, and they are not so unconscionable and inhumane, as long as the passing merchants give enough tolls, they will let them go, and they will not hurt their lives.
There are also some people who gather in the mountains to live and are self-sufficient, which is the place known as Bazhai. ”
"I see." An Chuxia couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard what Eagle Claw said.
It seems that there are not enough corrupt officials and corrupt officials she dealt with in those years, and she knew that she should be released for a few more years and come to Tanglin to be an official near the edge of Lingnan.
It will definitely add more brilliance to her resume of investigating and dealing with corrupt officials.
