Chapter 4: The Men in Red Appear on the Prairie

It turned out that three years ago, when Liu Ziwen first came to Lucao to be the county magistrate, he was also young and promising, enthusiastic, and full of passion, determined to serve the country and eliminate harm for the people. In a campaign to suppress bandits, he captured Hu Banbian, the big boss of Dongshan sheepskin dreadlocks, and sent him to the Green Grass Prison, waiting for the autumn queen to behead his dog.

Later, Liu Zihao found Liu Ziwen and said that his family had a bad beard and was robbed of a lot of gold and silver treasures, so that his younger brother, who was the county magistrate, would solve the case as soon as possible and find out which locks were planning to do it. However, Liu Ziwen asked his police officers to investigate for half a month and did not find any clues, so he suddenly thought of Hu Banbian who was imprisoned in the Green Grass Prison, and he came up with a strategy of "using bandits to control bandits", and let Hu Banbian let him reorganize the bandit team, let him be the internal response to the government, secretly pay attention to which bandit robbed Liu's mansion, and at the same time contain the development of other bandits, and report to the county government in time if there is any trouble.

In order to survive, Hu Banbian agreed to the request of the county magistrate Liu, returned to his lair to recruit troops and horses, and expanded his strength, and now he has developed into a big bandit who can compete with Zashan Bao, and after his many investigations and secret visits, he has learned that it was the mountain bag who robbed Liu's mansion three years ago, and he had already told Liu Ziwen the news.

Liu Ziwen considered the military and financial situation of the county government at that time, and felt that he was powerless, and in line with the idea of protecting himself, he was worried and did not go to encircle and suppress. Unexpectedly, three years later, that mountain bag actually robbed Liu's mansion again! Liu Ziwen was furious. Why does this hateful mountain bag have to go against the Liu Mansion? This time, the county will settle the old accounts and new accounts with them!

After Hu Banbian reported the situation to Liu Ziwen, he left Hong Xuefei and said goodbye to Liu Ziwen and Lu Long. Before leaving, he said: "County magistrate, if there is anything useful in the future, you just have to command, the villain's life is given by you, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!"

Liu Ziwen said: "Okay! By the way, that mountain bag led people to chase people here, and I don't know what to do, so suddenly the turtle shrunk its head and shrank back? You send people to the mountain to take a trip and tell them that they only need to take out all the treasures looted in Liu's mansion." In exchange, the county released the female bandit leader Hong Xuefei, otherwise Lao Tzu would attack Zashan Bao tomorrow. Flatten their cottages!"

"Okay, the villain will definitely do it!" said Hu Banbian, and led his bandits to beat horses back to his old nest in Dongshan.

Besides, Zheng Erhu only hunted two hares in the area where he often hunted. He was very unwilling. After eating and drinking enough by the campfire, it suddenly occurred to me that this place must have been disturbed by someone, and that the prey must have run away, and it seemed that I had to go far away, and I could not wait for the prey here.

So he took his bow and arrows, a steel fork, a waist knife, and half of the hare that he had eaten, and carried his little tent made of ten wolf skins on his back, and went to the depths of the steppe in the northwest......

The two tigers rode on jujube red horses and walked on the prairie. He felt strange as he walked and touched his prey. In previous years, when I went to this kind of place, the prey was in groups and some of them couldn't be beaten, but what happened today? So unlucky? I couldn't see a decent prey!

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, so he quickly quickened his pace, and unconsciously came to the vicinity of the big sandbag where Liu Ziwen and they were camping.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and the second tiger looked around, feeling that this place was very strange, he was taken aback, he had never gone so far. He wanted to find a leeward place to set up camp, and when he found the long sandbag, he quickly dismounted and walked that way, wanting to pitch his tent before dark, sleep well, and get up early tomorrow to hunt.

He had just walked a few steps, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, hurriedly looked up, and suddenly found a horse team running out of the big sandbag, and the people on the horse team were all wearing white sheepskin shoulders and galloping towards the northeast......

The second tiger hurriedly lay on the grass, rolled a few times, and rolled to the back of a small sandbag to hide. He wondered how there could be a horse team in the depths of this grassland, who were they, what were they doing in that big sandbag, and this series of questions was spinning rapidly in Erhu's brain...... No wonder Lao Tzu can't shoot the prey, it turned out to be scattered by you.

Seeing that they don't dress like hunters, let alone officers and soldiers, they are bandits? Hehe, what Lao Tzu hates the most is bandits, and his father died at the hands of bandits. However, the group of horses was gone.

He thought that he must have gone too far this time, and actually walked to the place where the bandits frequented? They came out of that big sandbag, why didn't Lao Tzu go and see what was going on inside?

Suddenly, a thick puff of smoke rose from the big sandbag, which increased the curiosity of the second tiger, where did the smoke come from in the depths of this wilderness savannah? Could it be that there were people in there who were staying overnight? Thinking of this, the second tiger put all the things he carried with him from hunting behind this small sandbag and hid it, and marked it so that he could find it when he returned. Otherwise, it is difficult to distinguish the south, east and northwest of this prairie, and it is common to get lost.

With only a bow and arrow and a waist knife, he jumped out from behind the small sandbag, concealed his body, detoured back to the gap of the big sandbag, lay down on the grass and looked inside, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Ah?"

Next to the bonfire, there are a few men who are busy burying pots and cooking......

The second tiger is even more strange, this county lord is not in the county seat to enjoy the blessings, what are you doing in the depths of this grassland? And with so many policemen and military service? By the way, maybe they are here to hunt! No, why didn't they see the prey they fell? There was no carriage for the prey, so what were they doing?

Erhu didn't understand what was going on after watching it for a long time, so he moved his eyes to a bonfire. The flames of the campfire flickered and flickered...... Suddenly, the light of the flame reflected on a person's face, and Erhu's eyes straightened.

Not far from the bonfire, a young woman in a pink cheongsam was tied under an old elm tree, staring at people with angry eyes......

Erhu was even more surprised, what kind of royal law did this woman in red commit, and she was actually tied up by them in the depths of this grassland. Hmph, this Liu Ziwen and the people from the county government are their enemies, and the so-called prisoners they arrested are not Lao Tzu's friends, but also fellow travelers! Wait, wait for Lao Tzu to go back and eat something, and in the dead of night, they will let the woman go unnoticed! (To be continued......
