I wandered around the cottage a few times, but found nothing of value.House Yi felt a little heavy, and ordered: "Burn all the cottages."

The cottages are all made of dry wood, which is extremely flammable, and the fire spreads immediately.Under the light of the fire, everyone walked down the mountain in a low mood.

Everyone was full of fighting spirit and passion, and vowed to kill all the bandits, but they didn't even see a single bandit.It's like lifting a sledgehammer and hitting the clouds.

Going down the mountain is a familiar road, but it is very difficult for Fang Fangyi to take every step.What the old man said kept echoing in his mind, and Fang Fangyi didn't know how to tell everyone.

Everyone was listless after the house change. The kind hospitality of the folks and the tearful expectations made everyone feel like a stone was pressed on their hearts.

Meng Jiao also knew what happened from everyone's mouth. Seeing Fang Fangyi's expression was wrong, he knew what was going on in his heart.Seeing that half a day passed, everyone couldn't get up the energy to hurry.Walking a few steps forward, he said from the side of the house: "Since the young master is sincerely eliminating harm for the people, why bother to worry about it?"

After Meng Jiao finished speaking, Fang Fangyi smiled reluctantly, saying that he had already looked away, and his steps quickened a lot.

In the Gao family's courtyard, Meng Long led people to guard inside, guarding the things left behind.At this moment, almost all the men in the town gathered outside the house, carrying their farm work, and guarding their surroundings vigilantly.

Entering the town, House Yi felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, why was there no one in the town. 'Is something wrong? 'Thinking of this, the pace of the house is quickened a lot.

"Master, you are back."

A woman came out from a remote corner, this person had also been seen in the house, she was the old man's daughter-in-law.Seeing someone, House Yi hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, where are the people in the town? Did something happen?"

"Don't worry, the official, the town is very good. My husband and father-in-law have gone outside the Gao family compound to help the adults take care of things. All the men in the town have gone, and the women have also hid. Seeing the official, I dare to come out."

Hearing this, Fang Fangyi also heaved a sigh of relief, and a different feeling came to his heart, he didn't expect the people here to be so simple.

Before arriving at the Gaofu, he saw a lot of people surrounded outside, holding the sticks in their hands tightly and waiting in battle.Seeing that the team had returned, everyone gathered around them. Although they didn't speak, their faces were full of expectations.

Elder Yan took a step forward, his cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, as if he already had an answer, and his long wrinkles were filled with disappointment.He didn't ask anything, but just said lightly, "Master, you have worked hard."

The signs of urgency seemed to freeze suddenly on everyone's faces, and a sense of disappointment permeated everyone's hearts, and their raised heads drooped.

"Folks, go back! Let's all go back!" Elder Yan said weakly, the huge gap drained all the strength of the old man's body.

When everyone turned to leave, Fang Fangyi suddenly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I didn't deceive everyone, and things are not what everyone thinks."

Seeing that everyone stopped, Fang Fangyi continued: "I have good news for everyone, the bandits have already left, and when I went, it was already an empty village."

These words seem to be like a radiant sun rising in the sky in the dark night, illuminating everyone's withered hearts at once.After a brief silence, cheers erupted from the crowd.

All the way down the mountain, Fang Fangyi was thinking about how to tell everyone.Either tell everyone the truth, or lie to everyone, saying that all the bandits have been killed, anyway, the fire burned everything down, and no one knows the truth.But seeing everyone's simple faces, Fang Fangyi really couldn't tell everyone what he had planned in his mind.

"Officer, it's the old man who misunderstood you. Seeing that you are neatly dressed and not stained with any dirt or blood, I thought you... Hehe, please forgive me. Please stay tonight, we can also thank you for your kindness." Great grace." Elder Yan said apologetically.

Looking at the sky, he found that it was indeed getting late, but Fang Ziyi had no intention of staying. He cupped his hands at the crowd in front of him and said, "I thank you for your kindness, but you will not be rewarded for nothing. For the merits of this official, everyone's kindness, I am ashamed of the leadership, and there are still important things to do, so I will not stay."

House Yi's tone is firm, and it's not easy for everyone to stay.Before leaving, Fang Fangyi told Mr. Yan the whole story in detail, dispelling everyone's doubts.

Due to the disaster of bandits, the grain in the town has been exhausted, and there are no seeds for spring plowing.When he left, Fang Fangyi deliberately left some of the food he brought with him for spring plowing.

The team re-entered the official road, riding in front of the horse, and the house was silent, with a sullen face, as if thinking about it.Seeing Fang Ziyi's expression, Meng Long asked from the side: "My lord, what are you still worried about?"

Glancing back, House Yi said, "I'm worried that those bandits will return again. Once they find out that the cottage has been destroyed, they will definitely take revenge on the people in the town."

"My lord, I'm worrying too much. There is only such a small town for several miles here, and most of the people have moved away. I think these bandits left because they had nothing to grab, and they probably won't return."

"Having said that, I always feel that this is a hidden danger. As you said, Taoist Goat is cunning and lustful. The reason why he hides in the mountains is presumably to avoid being chased and killed. He disappeared for no reason. It is very possible It was because the news leaked and the enemy family came to the door that we had no choice but to leave."

"My son is right, so they should not return."

Shaking his head, Fang Fangyi said again: "The matter is not that simple. There is no trace of fighting in the village. Taoist Goat should have left before the enemies. He is likely to return again to confuse the enemies who chased and killed him."

Bai Yuhu was behind them, he heard what Fang Fang said clearly, understood what Fang Fang was concerned about, and said, "Master, what's so difficult about this? We can send orders to the surrounding government offices to keep a close eye on this group of bandits. Once we find their traces , wipe it out immediately."

These words reminded Fang Fangyi that he is in a high position now, besides his own martial arts, he still has the right to use, so he immediately said to Bai Yuhu: "That's right, good idea, I will leave this matter to you."

After the matter was settled, Fang Fangyi felt a little more relaxed.Bai Yu stepped back on his horse and saw Second Master Duan following behind the team, with a long face, obviously in a bad mood.

"Brother Duan, what's the matter?"

Second Master Duan raised his head and said, "Second Master feels aggrieved. You said that if I had killed that traitor Taoist with one ax in the early years, I wouldn't have let him kill so many people."

Although Duan Erye looks like a rough man and acts recklessly, he is a chivalrous and gentle person in his heart.Those women who died tragically in the cottage made Erye Duan feel bad for a long time.

He took off the flagon he was carrying and threw it to Second Master Duan. Bai Yuhu smiled and said, "Brother Duan is a hero in the world, I admire you, come, brother, drink with you to relieve boredom."

Bai Yuhu only drank a little, and almost all of the wine went into Duan Erye's stomach, and the conversation between the two became more and more. At the end, Bai Yuhu inadvertently complained: "Brother Duan, you said that the thief is a bit rich. It’s fine if there’s no silver jewels left, but there’s a broken book.”

"Hey, it's okay if you don't say it. You said that bird Taoist priest is really not a good thing. Thinking about it makes me ashamed. Don't talk about lust, and even get a book of erotic pictures."

Hearing this, Bai Yuhu paused for a moment, and said loudly: "Come on, brother Duan, let's drink and let's not talk about that unlucky thief."
