Chapter 529: Suppressing Bandits

After agreeing to Xu Minghua's suggestion, Chen Ao was still a little uneasy. Fortunately, in addition to the county government's catchers, Zhuangban and other manpower, he also has a private army.

That night, after Feng Hu came back, Chen Ao found him alone and asked him to bring the people of the Ghost Hidden Society and still patrol the road. Especially the place where the accident happened last time. Chen Ao felt that since a gust of wind chose to commit the crime in that location, maybe it was the most convenient place for them to attack and evacuate. They are familiar with the road, and if they still want to commit crimes, they will most likely choose to be there.

Zhao Ling listened to Chen Ao's analysis and felt that it made sense. She even proposed that she should go with her, and that she must catch this gang of horse bandits.

Of course, Chen Ao disagreed. As a result, Zhao Ling instigated Xuanning and Long Qingping together. Chen Ao couldn't resist them, and when he thought about it, Long Qingping and Xuan Ning could come and go freely in the thousands of troops, and the little horse bandits naturally couldn't hurt them. That's when he agreed.

The next day, the three women dressed up in men's clothes and went out with Feng Hu. These people have always appeared as Chen Ao's entourage, and others don't care too much.

After a few more days, as Xu Minghua said, the caravan gradually increased. The inns and shops of all sizes in Hulu County have begun to prosper again, and the wealth is rolling. When there are many people in the city, it is inevitable that there will be errors in law and order. Although Xu Minghua tried his best to maintain it, petty theft and other behaviors were still repeatedly prohibited.

As a result, Chen Ao has more cases to be decided every day. Except for those who were caught on the spot, Chen Ao was able to judge in court. The others were stolen and no one was caught, so he could only assign it to Xu Minghua to arrest them. Of course, this kind of thing will eventually come to an end. Because Xu Minghua doesn't have more manpower to take care of these things, and these businessmen won't stay here forever and wait for the results.

In the evening of that day, Chen Ao had just finished a case and ordered the soap officer to beat the thief with thirty boards and send him out. Suddenly, Chen Aozheng was a little irritable when he heard the noise at the gate of the county yamen, and said in a deep voice: "Go and see what's going on? Who dares to make noise at the yamen?"

A soap man immediately went out with a water and fire stick. It didn't take long for someone to come back. Chen Ao frowned, and when he saw that this person was covered in blood, his heart suddenly became nervous. Could it be that there was chaos in the city, and some people were fighting and fighting, and they were all hung up?

When I saw that this man was dexterous and did not look like he was injured, he realized that the blood stain on his body was not his own, and he did not know where it came from.

Chen Ao hurriedly asked, "Who are you, and what happened?"

The man kowtowed to the ground, and then stammered, "Master...... Killed...... Killed ......"

Chen Ao's heart sank and asked, "Don't worry, make your words clear!"

The man froze and said, "Lord, the little one is following my lord's caravan outside the city. Suddenly, a group of bandits appeared, and then another group of bandits appeared. The men and horses on both sides fought, and the blood flowed like a river! The old man asked the little one to come and report the case to the big one......

Chen Ao's heart was pounding. Although this person was confused, Chen Ao immediately thought, could it be that the people led by Zhao Ling really met the horse bandits with a gust of wind?

Thinking of this, Chen Ao hurriedly ordered the soap officials in the hall to gather with the guys and prepare to go out of the city for reinforcements. Now the catcher and the strong squad are on duty all over the city to maintain law and order. There are only a dozen soap officials left in the county government who are responsible for standing guard and dignifying in the hall. Although these people are not good at fighting, they are better than nothing.

Chen Ao didn't even have time to take off his official uniform, so he rushed out of the county government with people and went out of the city all the way, causing the people on the street to look sideways. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a crowd of people crowding into the city from afar. Getting closer, it can be seen that the leaders seem to be Zhao Ling, Xuan Ning and Long Qingping.

It's not that Chen Ao has such good eyesight and can see people from such a distance. Instead, the horse they rode under the seat of the three of them was very wonderful, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a high-grade horse. Chen Ao saw that the three of them were safe and returned safely, so he was relieved.

He slowed down and led the people to catch up. When he got closer, he noticed that Feng Hu and the others were stained with blood, and even many people were injured. It seems that they did go through a fierce fight.

Behind them was a caravan. At this moment, the caravan freed up two wagons, and there were actually more than a dozen corpses piled on them!

Chen Ao hurried up to meet him. When Zhao Ling saw it, he hurriedly dismounted, with a smile on his face, and said, "Chen Ao, as expected, a gust of wind appeared!"

Chen Ao asked with concern, "Are you three okay?"

Zhao Ling said with a smile: "We are prepared and unprepared, so we will naturally win a big victory!"

Chen Aoxi said: "Those corpses are all horse bandits?"

Feng Hu nodded and said, "That's right! Hmph, what gust of wind is not planted in our hands?"

Chen Ao smiled and thought to himself, you are all professional killers who kill people without blinking. This group of robbers fell into your hands, and naturally there was no good result.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you to the county master, thank you to the county master......

This person is the leader of the caravan, Boss Jia, and as he speaks, he is about to knock down. Chen Ao didn't dare to let an elder kowtow to him, so he hurriedly supported him and said, "No need to be polite!"

Boss Jia's face was a little pale, obviously picking up a life, and he had palpitations. After thanking him again, Chen Ao said to him: "Don't go first, follow us back to the city, and it's not too late to go up after you figure things out!"

Boss Jia nodded and agreed. He had just been frightened like this, and even if he was allowed to continue on the road, he would not be afraid.

Chen Ao turned his head and saw a young man standing behind Boss Jia, looking a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that this person was the people of Hulu County, who was specially used as a guide for merchants who came and went.

The last time a gust of wind committed a crime, it was the case he came to report. Chen Ao still remembered that this person's name was Hu Sanlin. Hu Sanlin's face was also pale, and he lowered his head and didn't say a word. After such a fight, it was obviously quite scary. Chen Ao patted him on the shoulder, and then ordered the soap officer who came with him to push the cart carrying the corpse.

He asked the caravan for gongs and drums, and said loudly: "We will deal with the horse bandits today and win a great victory." We're going to go back to the city with a bang!"

The men under Feng Hu shouted loudly, venting all the stagnant anger in their chests. The crowd beat gongs and drums and swaggered towards the city.

Although there were only a dozen corpses, it was obvious that they could not catch a gust of wind. But Chen Ao wants to use this method to show those caravans in Hulu County that he, the Hulu County Commander, is capable of protecting everyone's safety.

A gust of wind is not invincible!
