The guards pretended to be the guards of the secret guard Bingwu were very disdainful of these Jianghu people in front of them, and directly threw out the identity and secret of the bandit leader, just to see the attitude of these people.

Sure enough, after listening to the guard's words, Xiao Shu's face changed again and again, they Jianghu people don't like to have anything to do with the temple the most, and this time it also involves the Mongolian country, if they don't handle it well, they won't talk about the treasure map, and they will make a fuss for themselves.

Looking at the attitude of the officials and guards now, maybe the rumor they heard was deliberately released by someone, the purpose was to use their hands to force the mountain bandits down the mountain, so that they could arrest people, and now that the other party's goal has been achieved, they simply directly pointed out the identity of the bandit leader, so that they could not continue to investigate.

The people in the rivers and lakes behind Xiao Shu all looked at each other, not understanding how a mountain bandit who robbed a passing caravan turned into a female cadre, they felt that this might be a pretext, the purpose was to dominate the treasure map.

"Young Master Xiao, since they are sincerely invited, let's go and have a look! Anyway, we have also done Huairou County a great favor, and we still have the right to know for the people!"

The old man who had been glumpy and gloomy before said with an ebony snake staff.

"What Elder Snake said is reasonable, besides, those mountain bandits will also be escorted back to Huairou County for interrogation, and we are still good people to the end."

Xiao Shu immediately borrowed the ladder to go downhill and said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you for your righteous action! Can you arrange for two people to go with me to Qinghua Town to escort back the other two people who were caught in the mountain bandits, it just so happens that we don't have enough manpower, and we were still worried about this matter just now."

C5 hit the snake with the stick and said directly.

Before coming, Qi Qi had already expected that these Jianghu people would definitely have some suspicions, and they would also find that they were being used, and they would definitely find out, so it was better to be generous, let them contribute to dispel their doubts, why not use free labor and bodyguards.

Xiao Shu felt that this step was a bit awkward, but he did not refuse, now figuring out the truth of the matter is the most important thing, and then he discussed it with the people behind him, and sent the two brothers of Wujimen to accompany Bingwu.

Then everyone walked back and went to the bluestone canyon, and returned to the original point a day later, and the spear Jiao Fang who stayed behind immediately greeted him and said two words to Xiao Shu alone.

"Xiao Gongzi, the rumor about the treasure map is estimated to be false, I interrogated those captured mountain bandits, they are a group of rabble, in order to avoid the capture of the government, they entered the mountains as bandits, and they can escape the encirclement and suppression of the government, but also by virtue of the geographical advantages here, and they said that they have not robbed any treasure maps at all."

"Or maybe their boss grabbed it, and they didn't know it."

Xiao Shu turned the jade fan in his hand and said lightly.

"I thought so too, so I asked about their boss's recent whereabouts, and they said that the boss was the same as before, there was no special action, and when we searched the bandits' village before, we didn't find any signs of them leaving."

Jiao Fang said directly.

"The government is coming to escort these mountain bandits back now, let's cooperate, they say that there are Mongolian countries in the mountain bandits, this matter is big or small, don't involve us at that time."

Xiao Shu's mind is still very clear.

"I see!"

Jiao Fang immediately nodded in response, turned around and began to lead the horse, dragging the mountain bandits who were pretending to be dead on the ground, and preparing to return to Huairou County.

Bingwu took the two people from Wujimen to pick up the mother and son of the "Fengqi Wutong" who had been arrested before, and everyone acted separately and agreed to meet at the Huairou County Ya.

After one night, the bluestone canyon fell completely silent, the old nest of the mountain bandits was completely reduced to an abandoned village, and the pregnant women and seriously injured mountain bandits inside were also sent back to Huairou County.

After this group of fifty or sixty mountain bandits arrived in Huairou County, they filled the county government's prison, and the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper were busy with their feet on the ground and began to conduct preliminary screening.

The rest of those who did not have a clear way to come from, naturally they had to be tried well, and for a while, the entire Huairou County was a little restless, entrenched in the bandit nest in the bluestone canyon,

With the assistance of the knights of the rivers and lakes, it was served to the pot, which is a gratifying thing.

So in Huairou County, these knights are quite popular, although the knights are a little aggrieved, but after all, they have a good reputation, and they did contribute, so they gladly accepted the praise of the people.

Everyone recommended Snake Lao and Xiao Shu to negotiate with the county government, at least to find out whether the treasure map was true or false.

And Wang Meimei was inconvenient to follow her brother Xiao, so she went to the largest Ruyi Inn in Huairou County to find ripples, after all, the two had made an appointment to meet before.

Ripple invited Wang Meimei to eat at the "Wanfu Restaurant", and by the way, she chatted about what happened after the two separated.

"What happened to those kids?"

"The families who lost their children in the neighborhood have all looked for them, and they really found the children they lost, but there are only four of them, saying that they were stolen, and the county order was posted, and their village chief went back to pass the word, and they rushed over with a glimmer of hope."

"It's a blessing to be able to find it back, and even a child is also a merit."

Wang Meimei said immediately.

"Well, I think so too, my Mrs. Zhen is kind-hearted, and I want to wait for two more days to see, and if the rest of the children are found, we will set off."

Ripple smiled and poured a cup of tea for Wang Meimei, and then asked:

"After we left, did you and Xiao Gongzi gain anything in the mountain bandits' den?"

"Hey! Don't mention it! There was nothing, only some old and weak, pregnant women and women, who we helped send down the canyon, and they were all sent to the county government at this time."

"They're bandits who block the road, so they should have gold and silver treasures, right?"

"Not to mention the gold and silver treasures, there is not much food, and the bandit leader is also recognized by the government as a work of the Mongolian State, so it is estimated that there is no way to live."

"It turned out to be a Mongolian work! That makes sense."

Ripples suddenly realized.

"Ripple, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Meimei asked.

"Since he is meticulous, then everything he has looted must have been transported back, and now the border is not peaceful, there are conflicts from time to time, and money and food are good things."

"You're right, you're so busy that you didn't even touch the edge of a treasure map."

Wang Meimei pouted.

"If there was a treasure map, they would have gone digging for treasure a long time ago, and they wouldn't have done anything to rob here."

You can understand it with your toes.

"Yes! I also persuaded Brother Xiao in the same way, but he insisted on going to the county government to ask for an explanation, after all, we have made great efforts to suppress bandits this time, and there is no reason not to even tell us the truth!"

Wang Meimei has the characteristics of a Jianghu person, and she has a bad impression of the government.

"Yes, please understand! If this rumor is proved to be false, then go and track down the next piece of news, the news on the rivers and lakes spreads fast and a lot, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false."

After the two had eaten, they separated, and Ripple went to the county office under the pretext of asking about the rest of the children, and went to see the master book.
