Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 281 Bandits
When Xin You asked this, the two bandits looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

This is a proposition!

"Don't you dare say it?" Xin You raised his eyebrows and looked at the bandit named Xiaoba.

Compared with the other bandit, Xiaoba obviously has no backbone. He panicked when Xinyou targeted him: "We rarely hurt people in the past, we mainly stole money——"

"That means you can kill people without blinking an eye now?"

Xiao Ba asked for help and looked towards Master Six.

The Sixth Master had just been tortured by Jin Linwei. He was still frightened and had no intention of resisting. He said, "The master of the village has changed. We can only listen to the new master, otherwise we will not survive."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the Sixth Master flashed with resentment, and his tone was aggrieved: "In the past, our brothers drank a lot and ate meat. Because we rarely hurt people's lives, the government came and beat us a few times but failed, so we just turned a blind eye. Close one eye. Who would have thought that the new bosses would change as soon as they arrived..."

"Say all this, but it can't change the fact that you are killing people like crazy." Xin You finished speaking coldly and asked He Qingxiao, "How do you plan to deal with it?"

The sound of "brother" made He Qingxiao stunned for a moment, and then said: "Take it to Ling County first and hand it over to the local government."

Xin You had no objection to He Qingxiao's arrangement.

They had something to do, and they had neither time nor manpower to suppress the bandits. The local government was already responsible for suppressing the bandits, so it would be most appropriate to hand over the two bandits.

After cleaning up the traces of the scene, Xin You and his party set off on the road again.

It was afternoon when they arrived in Ling County. After showing their vouchers, the group entered the city and encountered a long funeral procession, which made the group leading the horses less noticeable.

Slowly walking through the crowd of spectators, sighs and comments could be heard.

"It's really tragic. Several brothers went out to buy goods and met robbers."

"I heard that they took a lot of people with them, all of them young and strong. Why didn't they escape?"

"It's not that the bandits are too cruel. I heard that a lot of people were killed last month. The Wu family still heard the news and brought more people with them..."

"The banditry problem is so serious, won't the government care about it?"

"What do you care about? The bandits only appear in the border area between the two places. Where do you care? Officials, it's better to do less than to do more..."

Xinyou lifted the bamboo hat and looked at the funeral procession.

There were old and young people in the team, and they all cried uncontrollably.

"Let's go to the inn first." Sensing that Xin You was in a bad mood, He Qingxiao patted her shoulder lightly.

Xinyou nodded slightly.

A pair of strange eyes that are born to see all the tragic things, so that she will not be immersed in negative emotions for too long.

After entering the inn, Xin You took a good bath and had dinner with He Qingxiao.

"When will eldest brother send those two people away?"

"Tomorrow after we leave."

After dinner, He Qingxiao asked, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"it is good."

After walking out on the street, Xin You felt something was wrong: "The street seems too deserted."

She had passed through Ling County before, and although she didn't stay long, she still remembered it as a lively county.It was just getting dark at this time, and most of the heat of the day had faded away. It was supposed to be the time when people came out to enjoy the cool air.

There were three or two people next to a stall selling cold drinks on the roadside. The stall owner was an old man.

Xin You walked over and bought two bowls of white mash cold water, and chatted with the stall owner: "Old man, why are there so few people on the street? Do they all take a break so early?"

"Are you two from outside the country?" At this time, Xin You and He Qingxiao were not wearing bamboo hats, and the stall owner was not wary because of their good looks.

"Yes. My eldest brother and I went out to run some small business and happened to pass by Guixian." When the stall owner heard that these two young people were running business, his expression suddenly changed: "You two don't know, right? Banditry has been serious recently, so be careful when you go out."

"Is it possible that the lack of people on the street has something to do with this?" Xin You asked in surprise, showing fear.

Before the stall owner could say anything, a young man buying cold drinks answered: "No. In our city, there are quite a few people who encounter bandits when they go out. People are so scared now that they don't want to go out when it gets dark."

"That's it. Brother, let's go back early."

The two returned to the inn. When they went back to their rooms, He Qingxiao comforted him: "Don't think too much. I will send a message back about the banditry here. Once the court has spoken, the local government will not dare to pretend to be confused."

Leaving the inn the next day, He Qingxiao told his two men: "In an hour, you will send these two bandits to the county government office and meet us at the next inn."

"Yes." Two Jinlin guards each dragged a bandit and responded in unison.

He Qingxiao nodded to Xin You: "Second brother, let's go."

Xinyou didn't move.

"Second brother?"

Xin You took a deep look at the two Jinlin Guards and suddenly pointed at the Six Masters: "Brother, I want to take this person on the road."

As soon as these words came out, except for Qian Feng and Ping An, who were following Xin You with expressionless faces, the Jin Lin Guards all looked surprised.

What does Mr. Xin want to do with the bandits?
He Qingxiao didn't ask any more questions and agreed.

He knew what was special about Xinyou, and he also knew that she was not a fool, and there must be a reason for her actions.

The two bandits thought that they would be sent to the government today, and then they would be imprisoned and beheaded. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change.

"What about me?" Xiaoba asked hurriedly.

Xin You said calmly: "One is enough for me."

"Then, why not me?" It's not that Xiaoba has any objections to the Sixth Master, but it's his instinct to survive in the face of possible opportunities.

Xin You glanced at him and said coldly: "Can't I choose something better-looking?"

Xiaoba was speechless for a moment, and then became dejected.

He only knew that being good-looking would make it easy to get a wife, but he never expected that he could also save his life.

As for the Sixth Master, his expression was extremely complicated for a moment, and his eyes suddenly looked frightened when he looked at Xin You.

What does this young man want to do to him!
After leaving the city gate, Xin You did not let up the speed of his horse. He seemed to be riding slowly, until he passed somewhere and pulled the reins.

Here it is.

In the picture, two Jinlin guards who were ordered by Lord He to escort the bandits to the county government were riding on horseback. The legs of their horses were suddenly tripped.The two of them were thrown out, and before they could get up, they were stabbed by people ambushing on both sides.

But there was nothing unusual about these two Jinlin Guards before.The difference between them and other Jinlin Guards was that they sent bandits to the county government.

Thinking of the two bandits saying that the master had brought some people to Ling County for fun, Xin You had a guess: it was probably the two Jinlin Guards who were seeing the bandits when they were escorting them to the government, so they killed them and silenced them.

This is why Xin You decided to take the Sixth Master on the road.The identity of those who set up the ambush will need to be confirmed by the Sixth Master.

"How are your master's skills?" Xin You got off the horse and asked the sixth master.

Although the Sixth Master was puzzled as to why Xin You suddenly asked this, he still answered honestly: "It's good to be able to fight one against three."

Xin You nodded, stabbed off a section of Master Six's sleeve, balled it up into a ball under his panicked eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't panic. I'll treat you to a good show later."
