Shendou Continent

Chapter 58
Duke Huai naturally also knew about the mountain bandits hurting his nephew, and he was also trying to find a way to deal with it these days.

Originally, according to the imperial regulations, the prince had a guard, and it was too easy to send them out to exterminate a few bandits.However, he has a special status. These guard leaders are all appointed by the imperial court, and their loyalty is doubtful. What's more, this involves the commander of the Northern Governor's Mansion. If he is not handled well, he will easily get burned.The last time he let out the wind, he had already attracted people's attention, which shows how deep the water here is.

But these mountain bandits acted recklessly and even hurt his hard-working nephew, this made Duke Huai unable to bear it.In recent years, King Huai has accumulated a lot of savings in business operations, and the business of Tongzhitang under him is booming. If it weren't for his special status, this Tongzhitang would have been opened all over the country long ago, and it would not have lived in a corner.But because he was rich, he also recruited some talents. On the surface, he was mainly scribes, advising him and running around; secretly, he also had some fighters.Especially after his eldest sister was killed 20 years ago, he paid more attention to these things.However, except for a few people whose cultivation had reached the Void Realm, the others were approached through the people below. He didn't know if they would be useful at critical moments, and maybe it was time to test it now.

Therefore, King Huai introduced Lin You to a few trusted staff members, one of whom was Shi Jia, who was in charge of recruiting fighters for him. He was also a Juren, about fifty years old, comparable to King Huai.When he was young, he passed the examination, but failed to make further progress, so he later joined Prince Huai and became an aide in the mansion. Because he was able to handle affairs efficiently and had no problem with his loyalty, he gradually became Prince Huai's confidant.About ten years ago, Duke Huai began to entrust him to participate in the management of his fighter forces, and gradually became the main person in charge.

In order to prevent leaks, very few people knew about Duke Huai's fighters, and Shi Jiaming was also an aide, only responsible for running around.After King Huai introduced everyone, he asked the others to leave first, leaving only two people in Shi Jialin, and then revealed the secret, telling Shi Jialin that he could be trusted, and that Shi Jia would go in if he didn't know, but he only followed the lead of King Huai, so he nodded in agreement. Yes.

Next, Duke Huai and the two secretly discussed the countermeasures to exterminate the bandits. Basically, Shi Jia would choose a Void Realm and a Transformation Realm fighter to suppress the bandits.In fact, the combat strength of a virtual fighter is enough to wipe out bandits. To be on the safe side, Shi Jia planned for the two to take care of each other.As for Lin You, King Huai was not allowed to participate in the battle, but Lin You said that Chen Xiaodong was injured because of himself, so he had to show up, not to mention that fighters have always been dangerous in their experience, and only in this way can they grow. If they can't even deal with this threat, how can they bear it? Can you bear the blood and blood feud of your parents?King Huai couldn't resist him, so he asked to send two more Brahma fighters to assist him, mainly to protect Lin You. Lin You explained that Deming would also go, so he decided to add only one more.

On the second day, Shi Jia introduced the three people he had contacted with Lin You and Dai Ming, and stated that he would follow Lin You's command. Among them, the Brahma fighter was mainly to protect Lin You, and agreed to go to suppress the bandits the next day.In this way, a team of Void Realm, one Transformation Realm, and three Brahma Realm fighters met at the city gate leading to the bandit's lair the next morning, and set out together to suppress the bandits.

Before the bandit's nest, Lin and Dai had already found out.Everyone quickly found the lair, and about ten people stayed behind, including the second leader.Faced with the encirclement and suppression of several high-level fighters, the bandits in the bandit nest were almost powerless, and were killed and disabled in a short while.Because of the previous lessons, this time Lin You and the others simply did nothing and kept nothing alive.These bandits murdered, raped, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Killing them is to eliminate harm for the people.However, before killing all the gangsters, Lin You asked about the situation of the second gangsters. He roughly knew that there were 31 gangsters in the group, and one of them died when he went to assassinate him. The combat power was similar to what he had known before. I went to rob in the mountains and forests, and I would normally come back in the evening, except for these, there are four others who went out to do errands, and they should all be back today.

Afterwards, Lin You sent the Transformation Realm Warrior to find out where the rest of the bandits were, and he and the other three lay in ambush at the entrance of the cave to intercept and kill the bandits who came back.About half a day passed, and the Transformation Realm fighter came back before evening, saying that he had spotted the gangsters and would probably be back soon.During this time, Lin You and others killed the other four people one after another and cleared the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, soon, there was a commotion, and the bandit leader led a dozen people to the entrance of the cave in a mighty manner.Lin You and others hid in a hiding place, their eyes widened and their ears pricked up, but they tried their best to hide their soul power.As he got closer, he saw that the bandit had captured a young woman, and several of his men were carrying a box, as if after a successful robbery.He also heard the bandit leader chatting with several people, as if he had gone to the city to find helpers to avenge the inn, but was delayed for some reason.

Lin You quietly told everyone that only bandits should be killed.Afterwards, he gave an order, and the five of them jumped out of the hidden area to kill the bandits.That group of bandits is no match for these high-level fighters. Soon, the bandits were killed until only one bandit leader remained, and the bandit leader was quickly restrained.Lin You asked Dai Ming to guard the woman, and went forward to interrogate her himself. After asking her name, origin and what she had done these years, she asked why she attacked the Jianghuai Inn last time, and the bandit leader answered them one by one.He has done a lot of evil in these years, and he just defended himself, falsely claiming that the officials forced the people to rebel, and he became a bandit. When he mentioned the inn, he even said that he misunderstood.

Lin Youzi didn't believe it, but the woman beside him shouted excitedly, saying that this group of people were inferior to beasts, and that he and his father came to Huaizhou from Yangzhou to make a living as a performer, and never thought that they would be killed by this group of bandits. It seems that the bandit killed his father, and even captured his female slave for entertainment.She also pointed to the belongings carried by bandits, and said that she saw several people intercepting and killing a group of business travelers on the road, and at least seven people were murdered, and these belongings were evidence.The Transformation Realm fighter also testified before, but now, the bandit leader has nothing to say.

Lin You asked about the relationship between the bandit leader and the Dudu Mansion. The bandit leader thought that the matter could be reversed, so he hurriedly said that his sister was the concubine of Master Feng, the commander of the Left Army of the Dudu Mansion, and hoped that everyone would let it go for the sake of the Dudu Mansion. Own.Seeing that the situation was clear, Lin You took up the knife and chopped off the head of the bandit leader.This knife, for himself, is even more Xiaodong.

Lin You looked at the poor woman and asked her whereabouts. She also had a bitter background, so she asked Dai Ming to find someone to help her bury her father, and then took out some money from bandits and distributed it to her, hoping to let her go. go.But the woman said nothing and didn't leave, saying that she and her father had been dependent on each other since childhood, and now that her father is gone, she was lucky to be rescued by the young master and avenged her, otherwise she would be a human or a ghost for the rest of her life, so it would be difficult to live or die. To follow Lin You.The woman said excitedly that as long as the son is willing, she can agree with her body, even if she is only a housekeeper.Lin You couldn't resist her, so he planned to take her back to the palace for further planning, maybe it would be more appropriate to let the palace settle down.

Lin You counted the rest of the bandit's belongings, gave some to several contributing fighters, and asked people to distribute the rest of the property to the nearby mountain people, and asked the mountain people to report to the officials that the bandits had been wiped out , the people can feel at ease.The mountain people expressed their gratitude to several of them, and praised the reincarnation of Arhat and the manifestation of Bodhisattva.

In this way, Lin You led his people to exterminate the bandits, not only killing the common people, but also avenging Xiaodong.After bidding farewell to the three comrades in arms, he and Dai Ming returned to the palace with a girl.
