The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 182 Just right

Bai Qianxi turned to look at Ye Beiling. There were still a lot of things they needed to deal with.

The first thing was to gather all the bandits who were still in the village together and have them testify against each other.

The guilty ones were tied up and the innocent ones were put aside. These were basically refugees.

At the same time, he arranged for the guards to search the entire village, taking away those who were useful and leaving those who could not be taken away for later.

"It's finally done." Thirteen looked at the bundled supplies in front of him with emotion.

After searching the entire village, they got a lot of things, mostly gold and silver, but there was still limited food.

"Your Highness, are we ready to go down the mountain now?" Thirteen asked.

Ye Beiling nodded lightly, his eyes more focused on Bai Qianxi.

Thirteen saw through his master's thoughts at a glance. Now that he had finished his work and had some free time, he spoke casually.

"Fortunately, our master arrived in time this time. You know, ever since the young lady left, the master has been very worried about her safety."

"I couldn't stop myself from wanting to see the girl. It only took me half a day to finish all the things I needed to do in three days."

"And Miss Liu, when she heard that the master was going to come back, she wanted to follow him no matter what. But the master would never agree to this and immediately scolded Miss Liu."

"Thirteen!"

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping after he started talking, Ye Beiling's face instantly furrowed.

But anyone present could see that he was in a good mood at the moment.

The team quickly reached the foot of the mountain and reunited with Bai Yulang and others. Seeing that Bai Qianxi was fine, Bai Yulang breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the group of people following behind them, glanced at the sky and spoke.

"We have already wasted so much time today. If we want to reach the next town to rest before dark, I'm afraid it will be too late."

There are so many of them now, they must find a place to rest first. In addition, these bandits and refugees also need to be dealt with.

"In that case, how about you all follow us to Liaocheng first? Although Liaocheng is not on the main road back to Beijing, it is not far away."

"After a night's rest, it won't be too late to continue our journey tomorrow." A member of the rescued guard team spoke tentatively.

"That's fine." Bai Yulang nodded. He could ignore these things, but he couldn't let Xier down.

After getting the consent of several people, the guard was instantly delighted, "Great!"

If the Third Prince is with them along the way, they will not be afraid even if they encounter any danger.

As they were thinking this, they realized that the rest of the journey was surprisingly peaceful. It seemed that not all places were inhabited by bandits like the Menghuzhai.

On the other side, the Lord of Liaocheng was looking at his subordinates with an ugly face.

"Don't you really have any solution? All the supplies from above were intercepted by the Tiger Village. If we can't find them back, our jobs will be over!"

"I don't care what method you use, you must come up with an idea today, otherwise you will have to resign together!"

At this critical moment, when they have encountered such a big thing, they should be thankful that they were able to retire safely.

But they are afraid that the people above them will not forgive them so easily. When the time comes, the punishment will be too great for any of them to bear!
Faced with the city lord's anger, his subordinates were also trembling with fear. They could also think of what the city lord could think of.

But the situation in their city is really difficult now. Even if they want to surrender the bandits, there are not enough people to take them out. "Sir, how about this? Let's write a memorial to report the current situation. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." Someone suggested.

"After all, this matter cannot be blamed on us. If there is any fault, it is the fault of the transporter. After all, this batch of supplies was not delivered to us at all."

"But that batch of supplies was robbed within the area under my jurisdiction in Liaocheng. If the higher-ups blame us, they will also accuse us of poor management." The city lord kept frowning.

This Tiger Camp is notorious in Liaocheng. It has great power, especially the leaders, who are very capable.

They had organized several anti-bandit operations before but all failed. After this disaster, they thought that the Menghu Village would be doomed.

But I didn't expect that this was not the case at all.

Just as everyone in the room was deep in thought and the atmosphere was heavy, a servant suddenly rushed in.

The city lord frowned immediately, and his tone was filled with anger, "Didn't I tell you that I was discussing important matters, so don't bother me with trivial matters!"

"Master, this is no small matter. The bandits from the Tiger Village have been captured today and are being sent here..."

"What did you say? This is true!" The city lord suddenly stood up, his eyes shining.

The others behaved in the same way. They had been worried that the biggest threat they had been worrying about would just disappear like that?
"Do you know who did this?" After the surprise, the city lord suddenly thought of another question.

The situation in the Tiger Village is not something that ordinary people can solve. It would be bad if wolves came just as the tigers were gone.

However, since the other party is willing to send people to the city, they should have no ill intentions.

Just as countless thoughts were running through the city lord's mind, the voice of the person in front of him sounded again.

"It's the Third Prince. Those people were sent here by His Royal Highness the Third Prince. In addition to the people from the Tiger Village, the supplies we lost were also found!"

This person knew best what the city lord was worried about and spoke immediately.

"Hey, this, this... Hurry up and follow me! Let's go to the city gate to welcome His Highness!"

Ye Beiling was unaware of the panic going on in the City Lord's Mansion, as they were still handing over these people.

First of all, the elderly, the weak, women and children are the easiest to deal with. After all, there is a special reception location in Liaocheng. The other ones are the refugees who followed the bandits.

These people need to be looked after in a separate place, and then their tasks will be arranged according to their situations, although they are also forced.

But it’s done.

Faced with such an arrangement, everyone had no objection. Instead, they were very grateful to Ye Beiling for not killing them all at once.

This gives them hope for the future.

The last things that needed to be arranged were the bandits who originally belonged to the Menghu Village. These people had already been frightened by Ye Beiling's iron-blooded methods.

The city lord also rushed over with his men at this time. When he saw the iconic mask on Ye Beiling's face, he knew that it was definitely Ye Beiling who came in person.

"I didn't know Your Highness was coming. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Ye Beiling didn't waste time talking to him and directly told him about the bandit suppression, then looked at the remaining bandits.

"I'll leave these to you. Next time you encounter something like this, you should ask for help. If you have delayed the lives of the people of the city, your position will end."
