The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 293 Incredible
When County Magistrate Zhang heard that there were more than a hundred bandits, his number did not match that of the bandits in Rongjiang County.

Despite so many bandits, Xiahe Village only suffered heavy casualties and the entire village was not destroyed. I guess it was not those bandits.

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the county magistrates of Rongjiang County and Qianping County had been dismissed one after another. If that group of bandits came to their Luoshui County, he would probably not end up well.

But at the same time, he was also worried. It wasn't that group of bandits, but a group of bandits appeared in their Luoshui County? This matter could be a big deal or a small one.

The most urgent task was to quickly send people to wipe out this group of bandits to prevent them from continuing to do evil. He must not allow the tragedy that occurred in Rongjiang County and Qianping County to occur!

"Which direction did these bandits run to? Do you know which hill they came from?"

Li Jihe shook his head. “I don’t know where these bandits came from, but they didn’t run away.”

"Didn't run?"

"They were all killed by our village!"

County Magistrate Zhang, his legal advisor, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant who rushed over after hearing the news: !!!

Bro, do you know what you're saying?

Bandits, those were bandits, more than a hundred bandits!
Your village just kills people as it pleases? How do you kill them? You are villagers, not bandits! Can you kill bandits?

County Lieutenant Tong narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure the people who entered your village were bandits? Could they be hooligans from other villages?"

Li Jihe's heart skipped a beat. Even if he didn't understand the law, he knew that killing bandits was completely different from killing hooligans.

If they kill the bandits, their village will be rewarded, but if they kill the hooligans, their village will be punished!
He knew that this county lieutenant was the one who had previously protected Hu Youye. After Hu Youye committed a crime, his family moved away, but County Lieutenant Tong was still firmly serving as the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant who can protect Hu Youye from doing evil is not a good person!

Li Jihe was on guard against him. He looked at Magistrate Zhang and said, "Sir, I am sure they are all bandits. They all hold swords in their hands! How can these hooligans have swords? And they look very ferocious! The bandit leader even has a green dragon painted on his face!"

County Magistrate Zhang was shocked. Everyone had a big knife in their hands? These were not ordinary bandits. How could the people of Xiahe Village kill all these bandits?
This sounds incredible.

Wait, there’s a green dragon painted on the bandit leader’s face?
He was thinking about the news coming from Qianping County. According to the information provided by the only living person in Weijia Village, it seemed that the bandit leader had a green dragon painted on his face?

Magistrate Zhang's legs suddenly went weak.

At the same time, he couldn't believe it. If they were really the bandits from Rongjiang County who massacred more than ten villages and killed thousands of civilians, how come Xiahe Village only suffered heavy casualties?
It's not that he, as a county magistrate, wished for the death of his people, but the fact that they rose up in resistance after being attacked by more than a hundred bandits and were able to repel the bandits with heavy casualties was already the most incredible thing. But how could they turn around and kill all the bandits?
This is unbelievable, absolutely impossible!
Immediately, County Magistrate Zhang decided to go and see for himself to see it with his own eyes.

While he ordered people to go and see whether Captain Wang had broken camp and inform him of the matter, he asked people to make preparations, travel light, take Li Jihe with him and head straight for Xiahe Village.

Li Jihe gave all the silver he had brought with him to Li Jizu who came rushing over. He did not worry about the situation at the clinic and went back with the county magistrate first and would come back into the city later.

The group hurried out of the city, but before they had gone far, they were caught up by a guard of a thousand men.

Captain Wang, the captain of the Bayingzhuang Thousand Households Unit, had a full beard and looked very majestic.

"Master Wang."

"Master Zhang."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Captain Wang asked, "Master Zhang, you sent someone to say that a village under your jurisdiction was also attacked by bandits? Which village? What's the situation?"

County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly told Li Jihe everything he had heard from him.

Captain Liu, who was standing by, immediately asked in surprise, "Were all the bandits killed? Only about twenty villagers died?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jihe on the opposite side stared at him dimly, with a look that seemed to be accusing him: Sir, you still think that death is not enough?

Captain Liu choked. No, he just found it unbelievable!
Captain Wang also found it unbelievable and asked, "Are you sure it's really the bandits from Rongjiang County?"

Magistrate Zhang said, "According to what he said, the bandit leader had a green dragon painted on his face, which is consistent with the news from Qianping County." Captain Wang pondered for a moment after hearing this, then immediately stepped on his horse's legs to speed up his advance.

Seeing is believing.

Magistrate Zhang was also a horseman, and the group of people were moving very fast. However, it was hard for Li Jihe, who was led by a horse-riding yamen runner. It was his first time riding a horse, and he rode such a fast horse. When he arrived at the entrance of Xiahe Village, he vomited all over.
They had already reached the entrance of the village and there was no need for him to lead the way. No one cared about him, and everyone, led by Captain Wang, dismounted and strode towards the village.

When I entered the village, I first felt the heavy atmosphere, and then I saw that a house was destroyed.

All the way inside, there was crying, crying, crying - the wailing coming from inside was deafening.

Before, when they heard that more than twenty people had died, they didn't think much of it, but now when they saw the white bodies of each family, everyone fell silent.

Are twenty or so too few?

No, too much!
They walked all the way to the center of the village, and when Village Chief Liu and others heard the news they rushed out to greet them.

County Magistrate Zhang glanced at Village Head Liu and asked him to explain the situation.

Village head Liu finished speaking nervously and stammered, and his words were not much different from what Li Jihe said.

Captain Wang asked, "Where are the bodies of the bandits?"

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he hurriedly led the way.

The group continued to head south of the village.

"Sir, the bandits came down from this mountain last night—"

As they were talking, at the southern end of the village, the bloodstains and mess on the open space had not yet been cleaned up. Captain Wang and others who had fought in the war could imagine the tragedy of last night when they saw this scene.

Seeing the pile of bandit corpses, they all fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Magistrate Zhang asked, "Where is the bandit leader's body?"

The most important thing now is to confirm whether these are bandits from Rongjiang County.

When he heard that the adults wanted to see the bandit leader's body, Village Chief Liu shuddered. What should he do? If the adults saw the bandit leader's body, they would not punish them, right?
How could Captain Liu hide his trembling from Captain Wang and others?

"What are you hiding?"

"Sir, the bandit leader's body is here!"

A clear female voice sounded.

Hearing the sound, everyone subconsciously looked over and saw a little girl about ten years old with a solemn and calm face. Her left hand was obviously injured and was bandaged and hung around her neck.

Thinking about the women and little girls I saw along the way, although they all had sad and pale faces, they were all fine. It was obvious that the bandit attack on the village last night did not affect them.

After seeing this open space, I became more certain that the bandits came down from the mountain last night and were never able to enter the village. They were resisted and killed by the villagers here.

This also shocked them even more. More than a hundred bandits broke in and were killed before they could even enter the village. How could this be an unimaginable and brutal resistance?

But why was this little girl injured?
Captain Wang and his men could smell the scent of medicine on her body, which was definitely a knife wound.

Could it be that this little girl also came out to resist the bandits last night?
But they didn't have time to be curious at the moment, because they were so shocked by the scene they saw that their pupils shrank.

The bandit leader's body was dismembered?
That wasn't an accidental cut during a fight, but it was chopped off forcefully by the opponent without any resistance. Look, how smooth the blade is!

The green dragon on his face confirmed that this was the bandit from Rongjiang County.

The bandit leader who was so evil and killed people without blinking an eye, massacring more than a dozen villages and causing panic among the people of several counties, not only lost his life in Xiahe Village, but also had his head chopped off?
