"Big boss?" He Qingxiao approached the shouting robber and examined the person.

It is still so arrogant to be reduced to a prisoner, it seems that this group of mountain bandits has a good strength, so they are so arrogant.

The Great Xia is vast, even if it is peaceful and prosperous, natural disasters occur from time to time, and with the help of the terrain, it is not surprising that some bandits form a climate.

The mountain bandit is still threatening: "Our big boss has great ability, you can't run." Obediently let us go, maybe there is still a way to live! ”

"Why can't you run?" He Qingxiao smiled contemptuously, "We are all horses, cut off your heads and ride away, can you big bosses still catch up?" ”

"Hmph, our big boss is good at chasing, and there are hundreds of people in our village, it's not easy to chase people like you!" The mountain bandits looked proud.

"Good at pursuit-" He Qingxiao's eyes flashed slightly, "I've never heard that bandits are still good at pursuit." ”

"We're in charge—"

The mountain bandit, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Little Eight! ”

The mountain bandit named Hachi was unwilling to swallow what he wanted to say.

He Qingxiao ignored the two of them and turned to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, you better hurry up and get on the road."

The middle-aged man hesitated: "These bandits still have cottages, I'm afraid I will meet again-"

He Qingxiao pointed ahead: "There are hundreds of people in their village, and there are only about a dozen mountain bandits who have set up an ambush here, so it can be seen that they don't pay much attention to this section." Uncle, don't stay, go to the official road early, and you should be fine. ”

The middle-aged man felt that He Qingxiao's analysis was reasonable, and made up his mind to hurry up.

"Dare to ask the two Engong's surnames?"

"Uncle doesn't have to take it to heart, let's hurry up and get on the road." He Qingxiao said lightly.

The middle-aged man insisted: "The two Engongs have saved twenty or thirty of our lives, if we don't even know who Engong is, wouldn't my conscience be eaten by dogs." Please also let us know so that we can have a thought. ”

Xin Yu opened his mouth: "My surname is Xin." ”

He Qingxiao nodded.

"The villain's name is Duan Dafu, and he travels back and forth between the north and the south to do some special things, and I would like to thank the two Xin Gongzi."

The middle-aged man reported to his home and presented a hundred taels of thanks: "The money is not much, it is far from being comparable to the kindness of the two beneficiaries, and I hope the two beneficials will not dislike it." ”

"I don't dislike it." He Qingxiao calmly took it.

Xin Yu noticed the middle-aged man's momentary astonishment, and almost smiled.

After understanding Lord He, you will know that he is not the kind of person who regards money as a blockage.

Seeing the caravan go away, He Qingxiao motioned to his subordinates to bring the little-spoken mountain bandit over.

"You're the leader of these people?"

Shock flashed in the bandit's eyes, and he didn't say anything on the side of his head.

"Let him understand what it means to be a prisoner." He Qingxiao said lightly.

Immediately, two Jinlin guards dragged the bandits to the side through the grass and trees.

Another Jinlinwei carried the mountain bandit who had been shouting earlier to watch.

Xin Yu didn't look that way, stopped next to the corpse of the dead mountain bandit, and looked silently.

"How?" He Qingxiao walked up to her.

Xin Yu looked up at him: "A cottage of hundreds of people is considered a big village, right?" Didn't the government clean it up? ”

"Wait and see."

Before He Qingxiao's words fell, a frightened shout came from there: "I said, I said!" ”

Soon, the two mountain bandits were brought to He Qingxiao and Xin Yu.

The mountain bandit who was suspected of being the leader no longer had the slightest bit of hard energy, and the other mountain bandit who just went to watch looked even more frightened, and his body trembled like chaff.

"I say, I'll say everything!" The mountain bandits on the sidelines wept and wept, obviously frightened.

"What about you?" He Qingxiao condescended and asked the tortured mountain bandits.

"I said—"

He Qingxiao instructed his subordinates to take the frightened mountain bandit aside for questioning, leaving another mountain bandit: "You are the leader of this operation?" ”

"Yes...... I'm a copycat ......."

"Tell me about your copycat and the big boss, if it is inconsistent with what the other person said, you should know the consequences."

Xin Yu quietly watched He Qingxiao and asked.

Lord He during the interrogation was completely different from Lord He who was reading books in the bookstore.

"Our cottage is called Wuyun Village, there are more than 200 brothers, some of them are homeless due to the disaster, and some of the fields are occupied by the rich and have no way to make a living......"

"What about your masters? Is it an outsider? ”

The mountain bandit was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

He Qingxiao did not answer.

Jin Linwei, who was in charge of teaching the mountain bandits just now, warned coldly: "Whatever our eldest prince asks, you will answer." ”

The mountain bandit turned pale when he thought of the experience just now: "Originally, we had a big boss in the cottage, but a month ago I was killed by the current big boss, so I changed people to sit ......."

It turned out that there were five masters in this dark cloud village, and this mountain bandit ranked last. A month ago, the mountain was seized by one hundred and ten people, and the other party killed the first four leaders without blinking, and a group of rabble mountain bandits were honest all of a sudden. The original five masters have become six masters, and now the top five masters are all outsiders.

"Less than a hundred people have robbed your cottage—"

The mountain bandit looked a little embarrassed, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Our original brother privately guessed that the new big boss may have a government background before. ”

He Qingxiao's eyes sank: "Oh, what evidence is there?" ”

"They practice every day, they also arrange their troops, and they sit and walk differently than we do......

Listening to the mountain bandit's description, He Qingxiao felt unusual.

"Where is your cottage?"

"On the Wuyun Mountain, which is more than 100 miles away."

"Have you dealt with the government?"

The mountain bandit smiled: "Our mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officers and soldiers have been there several times, and the place where we are operating is at the junction of the two counties, so over time, there will be no trouble for the government to ask for itself." ”

"You big boss, can you be in the village now?"

The mountain bandits were silent.

"Huh?"

The mountain bandit was excited, and he hurriedly said: "The big boss and the fourth boss went down the mountain yesterday, leaving the second boss and they guarded the cottage." ”

"Where did you go down the mountain? How many people did you bring? ”

"I only brought a dozen or so people, and I don't know where the villain went, but every few days a few new masters will take turns to go down the mountain."

He Qingxiao asked a few more questions, which were not inconsistent with the words of another mountain bandit named Xiao Hachi, and Xiao Hachi also provided a clue.

"A few masters went down the mountain every few days to have fun in Lingxian County. The villain overhears it. ”

"Lingxian?" Xin Yu thought of the map of this area, "After here, it's more than a hundred miles ahead, right?" ”

He Qingxiao bowed: "We will settle down at the next post station tonight, and the plan after that is to rest in Ling County for a day." ”

Traveling far away in summer, it is not advisable to blindly try to be fast, and heat stroke can kill people. It was not the first time He Qingxiao had traveled south, and he had a rough idea of where to rest halfway.

"I've passed by Lingxian, and it's indeed a lively place." Xin Yu glanced at the two mountain bandits, "You have a lot of innocent people's lives on your hands, right?" ”
