"So you two are the thugs raised by Juren Guo?" Ma Lin looked at the two men in front of him.

The two men with their hands tied down their heads and did not respond.

"Don't be busy denying it." Marin said, "I know that ordinary wealthy families will raise some thugs who do dirty things. If you two can be sent by Juren Guo to the person named Zhang as a guard, he must be because he wants to curry favor with each other."

"What the hero said is that we two are indeed doing some dirty work for Juren Guo." One of the men admitted frankly.

If he was facing others, he would not admit it, but the bandits in front of him were not much better than thugs like them who did dirty work.

Malin looked at the man talking and asked, "Since Juren Guo sent you to protect the man surnamed Zhang, now that the murderer is dead, how could the killing soldier let you two go? This is a bit unreasonable!"

"It was the two of us who were lucky enough to escape by luck, and the army was defeated, so we saved our lives." The man explained.

Another man echoed: "The people who accompanied us to protect Aide Zhang were dead, and only the two of us escaped by chance."

Marin pinched her chin and thought for a while, and said, "Even if you are saying it is true, what about the corpse named Zhang?"

"The hero wants to see the body of Aide Zhang. The young man can lead the way, and only hopes that the hero can let us go down the mountain." The man who spoke bowed and begged for forgiveness.

Marin said: "You don't have the qualifications to bargain with me, please lead the way!"

"Yes, yes, the younger ones will lead the way."

The musketman on the side picked up the musket and pushed it forward, and the man hurriedly agreed.

Two men with wrists tied up walked in front to lead the way, while Marin led people to follow behind.

The group walked along the mountain road and walked out for a while toward the mountain. The two men walking in front suddenly stopped.

One of the men pointed with his hand and said, "It's this place, and the personal soldier named Xu was the one who killed here."

Marin looked around.

There are many weeds on both sides of the mountain road that are not over the knees, and further away is a forest. If there are people hiding around, it is difficult to find when standing on the mountain road.

Chen Miao next to him said, "I will take people around to search. If someone killed here will not be thrown too far, it should be nearby."

Marin nodded.

Chen Miao brought a team of men and scattered to both sides of the mountain road to look for the corpse.

After a while, someone shouted, "I found it, here."

The man who was talking turned around and waved to the mountain road.

Marin said to the people behind him, "Look at them both."

After saying that, he walked down the mountain road and walked towards the man who was waving.

"Deputy Captain, look." The soldier who said he found the body pointed forward with his hand.

Marin turned his head and saw several corpses in the grass.

There were five in total, four of which were wearing brown short-shots, and the other was wearing a silhouette, a square scarf, a square-toed shoes under his feet, and a scholarly dress.

Although he had never seen Aide Zhang, he guessed that the body in front of him, which looked like a scholar dressed up as a scholar should be that Aide Zhang.

Marin turned around and shouted to the people on the mountain road, "Bring them two here and let them recognize them."

Soon, the two men were brought over.

"Look at it, do you two see if this person on the ground is what you are talking about Aide Zhang?" Marin pointed with his hand.

After only one glance, one of the men said affirmatively: "Yes, it's him, he is the governor's aide."

Although the other man did not speak, he nodded repeatedly to agree.

Marin moved his finger, pointed at the other four bodies, and asked, "Where are they? Do you know each other?"

"Like both of us, they were sent by Juren Guo to protect Mr. Zhang, and were later killed by the personal soldier named Xu and Mr. Zhang."

Malin said to Chen Miao: "It seems that's right. You cut off the head of Zhang and take it back. I want to use his head to worship the brothers who died in battle on the mountain."

Chen Miao nodded, pulled out the knife from his waist, walked to Zhang Wenhe's body on the ground, grabbed his hair, held the knife in his other hand and pressed it down, and cut off Zhang Wenhe's head effortlessly.

The death was not long, and the cut-off neck was bleeding from the bleeding.

"Boe them and go back to the mountain village." Marin said, turning around and walking towards the mountain road.

One of the two men who were arrested hurriedly shouted: "My man, the body has been found, can you let the younger one go back?"

"Good man, please let us go. We just followed the government army up the mountain and did nothing else." Another begged.

Malin walked forward without looking back and ignored the two of them.

"Go away, don't talk nonsense."

The musketeer who was guarding them both slurs and slammed them.

Marin took the team back to the mountain.

The open space in front of the village has been cleaned up, and all the corpses on the ground are gone, leaving only the blood that is immersed in the soil and the residual smell of blood.

Entering the mountain village, Malin said to Wang Dazhuang who was guarding the mountain village gate: "Captain Chen brings the head of a high-ranking official, and you can take it to the tomb of the dead brother to worship."

Chen Miao handed the head in his hand to Wang Dazhuang.

Before, Wang Dazhuang must be very scared when he saw such a bloody head, let alone pick it up with his hands.

After a battle with the government army, like most people, he lay on the ground and vomited for a long time, and his stomach was uncomfortable until now, but now he was holding the head of Chen Miao handed over to him, and he didn't feel a little uncomfortable, and he could already accept such bloody things.

Marin said to the others again: "Bet on them and follow me to see the captain."

After saying that, he walked in front.

Several musketeers followed the two men who were arrested and walked forward.

At this time, a door was opened and Cao Guang walked out of it.

"Captain, capture two people who followed the official army up the mountain." Marin spoke first.

The two men who were taken up the mountain hurriedly lowered their heads.

Cao Guang glanced at the two men, withdrew his gaze and asked, "Have the officials at the foot of the mountain retreated?"

"Everyone has left, I watched them go south from the official road at the foot of the mountain," said Marin.

"It seems that this group of officials are afraid of being beaten and dare not stay in Daliang Mountain." Cao Guang nodded and said, then said, "Who are these two people? They don't look like soldiers in the official army."

Ma Lin explained: "The two of them are the thugs raised by Guo Juren in Guojiazhuang, and I caught them when I came back from the foot of the mountain."

"Why did the people from Guojiazhuang arrive in our Daliang Mountain?" Cao Guang frowned.

Their brigade was nominally a bandit in Daliangshan, while the Guo Juren from Guojiazhuang was a famous gentry with dozens of miles of radius. They had no contact with the Guo family.

Marin told the story.

"No wonder there are people from Guojiazhuang going up the mountain." Cao Guang suddenly realized and immediately said, "You two raise your heads."

The two men hesitated for a moment and finally raised their heads slowly.
