Chapter 215: Water Bandits
Wu Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this, and his face was displeased.
Wang Shouyi hurriedly spoke.
"I know that you are all scholars, and you must have some background in your family, but that money doesn't look like ordinary money......"
"Needless to say, you only need to answer me a few questions, if your answer can satisfy me, then I will not pursue the matter, if you lie to me, you will bear the consequences!!"
After speaking, Wu Zhi sneered again and again.
And Wu Song also looks fierce and vicious, not easy to mess with.
Seeing this, Wang Shouyi immediately nodded and agreed, and said, "I promise you, you ask." ”
"Okay, the first question, is your so-called investigation of me related to the original water bandits?"
Hearing this, Wang Shouyi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in acknowledgement.
"That's right! It is indeed related to water bandits!! ”
"Have you ever heard of the real name of the bandit leader, and what does he look like? Also, why did he deal with us? ”
Wu Song asked.
Hearing these questions, Wang Shouyi thought about it and finally decided to explain it.
"I've heard some of these things, and it is said that there was a group of water bandits who burned and plundered in nearby towns, killing countless civilians."
"They have been doing evil for many years, and now they have been arrested by the government, but these bandits have not confessed, saying that someone has given them money, and they will work for the government, and the government has no evidence to catch them......"
"As for the appearance of the leader of the bandits, I have only seen him from afar, but he is very tall and burly, and his body is as burly as a bear."
"Big?"
Hearing Wang Zhongyi's description, Wu Zhi and Wu Song glanced at each other.
"Is it really their ......?"
Wu Song spoke.
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible......"
"Why?"
Wu Song asked puzzled.
"If that group of water bandits is really the personal soldiers of a certain prince, then the emperor will definitely not be so rampant, at least he should be restrained, instead of messing around like them."
Wu Zhi said.
Hearing this, Wu Song suddenly realized.
"That's right, even if it's to hide people's eyes, it's going to be a little more restrained."
After speaking, he continued to ask: "The second question, have all those robbers really been ambushed?" ”
Wang Zhongyi thought for a while and said, "It should be more than that." ”
"Then if you think about it carefully, what clues did they leave behind?"
Wu Zhi asked again.
"I do remember that after the bandits were captured, they didn't seem to run away, but all surrendered on their knees."
"Surrender on your knees?!"
Hearing this, the Wu brothers' heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
For them, this news is too unbelievable and unrealistic.
Wu Zhi hesitated: "How could they surrender obediently? ”
Wang Zhongyi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about this, but this matter was personally sent by the imperial court to supervise it, and there will be no fake." ”
"In that case, then I'm relieved!"
Wu Zhi nodded and continued: "Last question, how are these bandits skilled? ”
Hearing this question, Wang Zhongyi hesitated, and finally spoke: "I just heard from others, but it is said that those bandits are very strong. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zhi's face changed.
Because he also heard that the kung fu of this group of water bandits is very powerful, it is not easy to deal with, and they have repelled countless officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed, otherwise they would not have been rampant for so many years.
Wu Zhi's brows tightened.
Seeing this, even Wu Song, who is not bright-minded, knows that there is no need to continue asking.
And Wang Zhongyi said so much, just to make them give up investigating this matter.
This kind of trick has been seen a lot by the Wu brothers.
Without waiting for Wang Zhongyi to react, Wu Zhi said: "Since this is the case, then I will leave." ”
As soon as the words fell, he turned and left.
Watching the two gradually walk away, Wang Zhongyi sighed.
"Alas! Why do these two people have to admit death? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant walked in and whispered a few words closer.
Hearing this, Wang Zhongyi suddenly showed a surprised expression, "It's him?!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he hurried out the door, trying to catch up with the two who had already left.
At this moment, Wu Song and Wu Zhi had already got into the carriage, left the mansion, and headed towards the mountain road.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, and they were very silent.
Wu Song's mind was very complicated, "Brother, do you believe what that person said just now?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Zhi sighed and said, "Believe it or not, it makes no difference......
"Why?"
"If that's the case, then we won't be able to find them."
Wu Zhi replied lightly.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Let's go to the village outside the city first, if you can meet it, it will be fate, if you don't...... That's also our fate, we can only blame our ill-fated fate. ”
Hearing this, Wu Song nodded.
He's a bit stupid, but he's not stupid.
Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Wu Zhi's mouth, "If my guess is correct, the chance that we can meet that person today is probably not small!" ”
After saying that, he continued to close his eyes and recuperate, as if he was resting.
Seeing this, Wu Song was silent, not wanting to disturb his brother's attention, and silently drove the carriage.
Half an hour later, the two came to a dilapidated village outside the city.
After stopping the carriage at the entrance of the village, Wu Zhi and Wu Song jumped down and slowly stepped into it.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhi couldn't help but cover his nose.
"It stinks......"
Wu Song also frowned.
"It hasn't been repaired for a long time, and there's a lot of garbage on the ground, it's dirty......"
The two glanced at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
According to the information obtained before, the water bandits have a lot to do with this village, but now that they are in the place, they are only left with a mess and broken walls.
Either the news is fake, or something has happened in the village.
The former is okay, at most it is just unladylike, but the latter is ......
It's unimaginable!
The more Wu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, stopped, glanced at the village in front of him, and finally decided to turn back and return to the carriage with Wu Song.
He thought about it and made a decision.
"I thought about it carefully, in this situation, going to the county government is completely useless, and it is more practical to go to the higher state capital to file a complaint."
"Huh? Brother, in comparison, it is less difficult to go to the county office, and it is more efficient and convenient. ”
Wu Song found it a little incomprehensible to do so.
When the words fell, Wu Zhi couldn't laugh, and he also seriously explained the reason.
"If the county government was really useful, things wouldn't have become so outrageous, and there wouldn't have been so much fake news, and most importantly, I guess they had collusion with the bandits!"
