The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"So you left those people behind, do you want to throw them into the village, and wait for the government officials to find them after they go up the mountain?" said the second in command.

"Yes, let them fight each other, maybe they won't bother with us. After all, compared with the life of a nobleman, what are we, the ruffians, in the eyes of those people?" The first in command sneered.

Although this was not pleasant to hear, everyone could find nothing wrong with it.

"But if we leave them here and they are rescued by the government, they will blame us and say that we kidnapped them. Then we will be blamed for everything." The second in command said, "I think that keeping them here will be a disaster. Besides, the master behind them may have a relationship with the government. They are in collusion with each other and in the end, all the charges will be ours.

Officials have two mouths, and they are right no matter what they say. We can't guard against them."

The second in command disagreed with keeping them here. The money and goods they sent could be kept, but the people could be dealt with to prevent future troubles. Or, find a suitable opportunity to secretly send them to the government and get rid of their mountain stronghold.

They were just robbers and didn't dare to attack the nobles from Chang'an City.

As for the kidnapped people, since they don't know who their masters are, it doesn't matter. They kidnapped not nobles, but their lackeys. Their lives are worthless.

If you don't even dare to take the lives of lackeys, why do you still want to be a bandit? You should change your career and go down the mountain to farm as soon as possible.

"We must think of a way to let the government know that those people are not good people, otherwise they will always target us, and even if we want to run, it will be difficult." The big boss was a little distressed: "If the King of Jingyang knew that someone wanted to do something to him behind his back, then let the King of Jingyang fight them to the death. We are just small minions, and we don't want to be involved in the struggle of the court."

Although he has never been to school and can't read, he also knows that officials fight fiercely.

In fact, there is only one reason, whoever wins the fight will enjoy wealth and honor.

The current emperor won the fight and became the emperor, and the emperor emeritus won the fight, and the Sui Dynasty was gone and changed to the Tang Dynasty.

How many people died in the process? Those who died in the war, those who starved to death due to lack of food, and those who died of exhaustion from conscription and labor service are everywhere.

As long as there is a way to make a living, who would do such a deadly business?

But don’t tell me, don’t tell me, this deadly business is quite exciting.

Especially when you rob a large amount of money, food and cloth, this business is really damn fascinating.

After experiencing this kind of excitement, farming seems so ordinary.

"How can we let them know that these people have bad intentions towards King Jingyang?" The eldest boss was in trouble.

"Or, send someone to the government to deliver a letter directly?" The burly third boss standing aside said in a muffled voice.

"Your idea is very good, don't come up with it next time." The second in command said helplessly: "They are about to attack us. At this time, you send people down the mountain to the government. What's the matter? Are you trying to give credit to them?"

"I know you have an idea, Lao San, but don't have any ideas yet." The eldest also shook his head and denied Lao San's statement.

Lao San, this big guy, standing there with a weapon, is very intimidating, but he just doesn't have a good brain.

"Think about this slowly. It's getting late. Let's rest first. If it doesn't work, just don't care about anything and kill them directly." The eldest said irritably.

I was annoyed because I didn't open the business for several days, but I was fooled by others as a brainless fool.

Does he really look as stupid as Lao San?

The eldest in command looked at Lao San, and then looked at himself.

Humph, what a look.

The crowd dispersed, and the hall returned to silence.

The next morning, in Huizhou City, Li Fu led Wu Liangye and a dozen other guards, and selected dozens of good men from the military camp, and set off for the back mountain path.

The governor and the general who led the troops led the large army up the mountain from the front.

Halfway through, Li Fu's people came to report that there was no movement in the village on the mountain. They watched all night, and the people who went up the mountain yesterday did not come down the mountain at all.

"Either they had a good chat, or they were detained." Li Fu sneered: "It seems that these bandits still have some brains on their bodies."

"Not all the bandits are so... unconfidential (smart)." Another guard responded with a smile.

"If they were detained in the village, we might be able to see a living person." Li Fu smiled and said: "Let's go, let's go."

OneThe pedestrians bypassed Qianshan and continued to head to the back mountain.

Along the way, there were already scouts going ahead to inquire about the news and guard against the bandits on the mountain.

Although it is not certain whether they have the brains to arrange people everywhere to inquire about the news, it is always right to take more precautions.

The people on the mountain knew nothing about the situation in the back mountain. After all, it was an abandoned path that ordinary people rarely walked on.

But there were still many sentries in the front mountain.

Soon, the bandits in the front mountain discovered the movement of the large army, but before they could go back to report the news, they were caught and killed by the scouts who hid here in advance.

They would not be soft-hearted when dealing with these bandits who had killed people.

When the large army was not far from the village, the people patrolling on the wall in the village had seen it and howled behind them.

"Enemy attack!! The government officials are coming! It's the army!!!"

After this shout, a rain of arrows shot towards the wall of the village.

The people on the wall were hit by several arrows and fell on the wall.

The people below reacted in a panic and quickly closed the gate of the village and moved a huge tree to the back of the gate.

In the lobby, the three heads of the village were nervous when they heard that the army had arrived at the door.

In the past, there should have been news in advance for such a big movement. How come there was no movement at all now, and they came so quietly?

Why didn't those people in the city come back to report the news in advance?

There are people in the village who specialize in purchasing in the city. Once they find that there is movement from the government, they will go up the mountain to report the news, and they will respond in advance, and quickly go out to hide for a few days and come back after the storm has passed.

Although the village will be damaged, it can be repaired and used again after returning.

This is in the mountains, and the government doesn't dare to burn down the village, so the bandits are like weeds and can't be completely wiped out.
