Chapter 267 Horse Bandits 2
...

"That's good. By the way, what about the horse bandits?"

"Report to the mayor! The horse bandit has been taken down by our people and imprisoned."

The mayor mentioned by the captain is a middle-aged man with a vertical cut. Compared with the squires behind him, the mayor's attire is relatively simple and restrained, and judging from his position with these squires It seemed that the boundaries between the two were clearly defined, and the captain's attitude when he answered him was much better than those squires.

"Okay! Sure enough, I was right, Captain Zhang, your militia team has done a great job this time!"

Hearing the news, the mayor's eyes lit up immediately, and he happily patted the captain's shoulder in admiration. At the same time, he couldn't help but straighten his body and glance at the squires.

The warlords only cared about the territory and didn't care about the life and death of the local villages and towns. At this time, the horse bandits appeared to plunder everywhere. The mayor set up a militia for the safety of the town, and even lobbied the gentry to donate supplies.

But so far, apart from going out to support the nearby villages that were attacked by horse bandits, the militiamen have done nothing for Qingshan Town. The one I kept, but left my place and ran to help other villages, so I often went to the mayor to put pressure on him.

And now that the horse bandits entered the town and were captured by the militia, with this opportunity, they will no longer have any objections.

"Uh...mayor, this horse bandit..."

Hearing the mayor's praise, the captain was a little embarrassed, so he wanted to explain that the horse bandit was not subdued by their militia, but just as he opened his mouth, he was pulled by Li Mu behind him, and then he saw Li Mu winking at him.

"What happened to the horse bandits?"

The mayor paused and looked at the captain and asked, he didn't see Li Mu's movements, and Li Mu standing behind the captain was regarded by him as a militiaman.
"Uh... What I mean is that the horse bandit has been subdued. We need to interrogate him as soon as possible. Only by clarifying the reality of this horse bandit gang can we effectively deal with it!"

Although the captain didn't understand why Li Mu didn't let him explain the matter clearly, he changed his words when the mayor asked him.

"That's right! It's better for you to think carefully and interrogate the horse bandit first. No matter what method you use, you must pry his mouth open and find out their number and location, so that we don't have to be defended by Dong!"

The mayor immediately clapped his hands and applauded when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at the captain with admiration, but at this moment, the squire behind him frowned and asked them questions.

"Will this cause trouble for our town?"

"That's right, if their target is not us, will doing so make them bear a grudge, and how will they take revenge on the town?"

"Or... just let him go!"

These squires are afraid that they will be hated by the horse bandits because of their words. These horse bandits kill without blinking an eye. What if they offend them, what will they do when they come to revenge?
It's better to let the horse bandit go. In this case, when the militia team will be there, they will have to think about it if they want to offend the town.

"Can't let go! In order to catch him, how many people in our militia team were injured? Just let him go like this, how can I face the team members!"

"Besides, who can guarantee that if we let him go, he will not take revenge on us? They are horse bandits! They kill people without blinking an eye, they are vicious horse bandits!"

The captain blushed immediately when he heard this, and angrily dismissed their opinions. These squires thought they could calm things down, and they didn't think about who the other party was, and if they didn't have thoughts about their mayor, how could they send people over? Inquire about news?
"Captain Zhang is right, even if they let them go, it won't help. Our Qingshan Town is the most populous and the wealthiest town in this area. It is impossible for the horse gang to have no ideas. We should listen to Captain Zhang. First interrogate and find out. Say it again!"

The mayor and the captain stood on the same front, and also understood that with the situation in Qingshan Town, the other party would not miss it in vain. Instead of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it is better to interrogate the other party's strength and make plans early.

With the mayor's support, the captain's pressure suddenly dropped, so he asked the mayor to tangle with these gentry, and he took Li Mu to the place where the horse bandits were held for interrogation.

"Hero, why didn't you let me just say that you helped us catch the horse bandit?"

Taking advantage of no one, the captain finally asked Li Mu the doubts that were pent up in his heart.

"Hehe, in the situation just now, if those gentry know that it was not your militiamen who subdued the horse bandits, your mayor's face may not be able to maintain."

After Li Mu laughed lightly, he explained to the captain that although there were elements in it that he didn't want to be too conspicuous, according to his observations, he discovered early on that the relationship between the militia and these gentry was not harmonious, and the mayor was listening. The changed attitude after the militia subdued the horse bandits made Li Mu confirm this point even more.

And if the captain revealed to them at this time that the credit for subduing the horse bandits was not attributable to the militia, the mayor's face would be swollen from his words.

After hearing Li Mu's words, the captain suddenly realized, and then looked at him in embarrassment and said.

"But in this way, there is no way to show them your credit! What can we do?"

"That's good too, and I don't want to be in the limelight."

"But……"

"It's okay, it's fine!"

Li Mu knew what he was going to say, but the current situation was exactly what he wanted, so he waved his hand to signal him not to mention it.

And the captain saw that he didn't look like a fake, so he couldn't help admiring Li Mu even more.

The two soon came to a militia garrison converted from a private house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a cart parked in the yard. There were cries of pain from time to time in the house. It was those injured who were undergoing treatment. Issued by Healing Militia.

"Captain, you are back!"

"Well, what about the horse bandits?"

"Shut it over there."

Just at this time, the militiaman who came out with a basin of blood saw the captain and Li Mu and greeted them. Then Captain Zhang asked him where the horse bandits were being held and went there with Li Mu.

The cell where the horse bandits were held was remodeled from the original wing room. It was not as dark and dull as some cells, but it looked very spacious.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw the horse bandit who had been tied up and thrown in a corner of the cell. Hearing the sound of the two coming in, the horse bandit who was lying on the ground struggled to sit up and stared at him. Li Mu.

If it weren't for the man in front of him, no one in this town would be able to stop him, let alone this situation.

"I don't accept it, let me go if you have the ability, let's fight again!"

The horse bandit gritted his teeth and watched Li Mu speak in a strange tone, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"Fuck you, you still mess with me at any time!"

Seeing the horse bandit, Captain Zhang thought of the scene of being frightened and teased by him before, stepped forward and kicked him on the shoulder and kicked him to the ground.

"Hero, who do you think these people are? They are so weird!"
