Lei Er sat carelessly on the big rock in the center of the village, staring fiercely at the bandit in front of him.
At his feet were a few more dead heads.
The bandits, both male and female, were all squatting on the ground shivering with their heads in their hands.
There were a lot of them, but in the eyes of Lei Erlang, they didn't even dare to show off.
Some brave men were brave just now, but after Lei Er looked over, they soon didn't have to breathe again in their lives.
The other fortress soldiers and caravan guards went through every house in the cottage like wolves and tigers. For a while, the whole cottage was in a state of panic.
They are simply worse than bandits.
The minions didn't panic.
After the more than 200 people who wanted to rob the Gu family's caravan left, the village was basically undefended.
Lei Er and the others rushed in, and after shouting and killing a few people, they did not encounter any decent resistance and easily occupied the bandit den.
In contrast, it was a lot of trouble to find this ghost place among the mountains and mountains.
King Kong Village?
Pooh!
Let’s rename it Tofu Village.
Lei Er spit out the sheep bones in his mouth. The target was too easy to succeed, and he was still a little unhappy.
A toss and turn.
The village was a bit poor, but there were still three kilograms of nails in the broken ship. After a quick search, it turned out to be quite fruitful.
More than thirty taels of silver, fifty pieces of exquisite silk; fifteen lean pigs, dozens of chickens; a pile of carrots...
There are even twenty-five rolls of brick tea.
This is a good thing, especially if it is shipped to Xiliang, it can be sold for a big price.
It's just that the bandits were uneducated and didn't seem to know what the leaves were, so they used them as cushions.
What a waste!
Lei Er vomited in silence.
He wanted to make some tea, but when he thought about the brick tea that had been sat on by countless bandits, he had to hold it back silently.
At this time, a soldier ran over happily and handed him a piece of paper filled with words, "Brother Lei, I found a bandit secret."
Lei Er perked up and quickly took it for a look.
It turned out to be a copy of "Ten grabs and ten don't grabs"
1. Don’t grab the funeral car, but grab the happy car.
Second, big businessmen do not rob, small businessmen do.
Third, the postman going east will not be robbed, but the postman going west will be robbed.
Fourth, if the monks don’t rob, the nuns will.
5. Doctors who travel around the world will not rob you, but doctors who ring bells will rob you.
…
"Fuck you, uncle." Lei Er was even more angry and gave the soldier a hard kick, "Mao's secret, go back and learn how to calligraphy."
Wow.
He was about to tear up the yellow paper with black characters.
"No." Ma Dali quickly stopped him and took the paper over.
"This is evidence of the bandits' crimes. We can save a lot of trouble by taking it to the county government office."
Looking at the ten words on the paper, Ma Dali shook his head.
This group of bandits is extremely ambitious and knows how to make rules, but they are just busy in vain.
They clearly promised that the big merchants would not rob, but they decided to make an exception. As a result, they got into trouble the first time they robbed, and the whole village was destroyed.
After burning the stronghold with fire, Lei Er and his entourage escorted more than 400 men and women down the mountain without any explanation.
There were bandits on the road who wanted to escape, so I killed a few of them without hesitation to scare the monkeys, and finally I became more worry-free and behaved.
The Luoxia Mountains were very large. Ren Ning led the caravan in a hurry for two days. At noon on the third day, they finally passed through the entire mountain range and entered Laigu County.
Lai is also called Laihe. Compared with the barren Pingxi County next door, this is a place with both rivers and food.
"Finally made it here." Gu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the winding post road between the hills ahead.
On the other side of the mountain, they encountered bandits who kept saying they wanted to destroy their caravan. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid on the way.
But caravans have their own caravan rules.
For people like the Gu family who transport special goods like rocks, unless there is force majeure such as war between the two countries, the goods must be delivered as soon as the designated delivery date arrives.
Failure to deliver is a breach of contract.
The status of merchants is already low, and the Gu family is only a small and medium-sized caravan. The power behind it is not too strong, and they cannot afford the consequences of breach of contract.
Therefore, no matter how afraid it is, the caravan has to bite the bullet and embark on its return journey.
"You can rest assured, the leader of the ancient merchants! We are here." Ren Ning walked around the valley and quickly found the mark left by Lei Er and others when they passed by.
"Lei Er has taken away the bandits' den. From now on, you can pass by here safely and without worries."
"They are now waiting for us to catch up in the county ahead."
"Really?" Gu Fugui perked up.
He followed Ren Ning around for a few times, but couldn't see any difference around him. "Thirty miles ahead is Cangshan County. If the caravan goes faster, it will definitely arrive before evening."
When everyone else heard this, including the captured bandits, they all smiled happily and hurried forward.
All the way forward.
Passing through several villages or small towns, villagers took out incense and placed it at the intersections, kneeling down to the caravan devoutly.
Gu Fugui glanced at Gu Shengnan and stepped forward in confusion.
"This old man, are you kneeling to our caravan? What happened?"
"My benefactor, are you the Gu family's caravan?" The old rural farmer excitedly took out a wooden board and carefully compared the words on the board with the caravan's flag.
"Yes." Gu Fugui nodded and pointed at Gu Shengnan, "We are the Gu family caravan, and this is our master."
"That's right." When the old farmer saw that Gu Shengnan was a woman, he hesitated for a moment and led a group of villagers to bow before him. "Thank you so much for helping the people to eliminate harm to the people. The whole village of Liangliu Village is grateful."
Liuliang Village?
Ren Ning and Gu Shengnan looked at each other.
They remember the name of the village.
Three days ago, when Lei Er was interrogating the bandits, he mentioned Liangliu Village. He said that there was a girl named Liu Er in the village who was raped by bandits and then hanged.
The old farmer rambled on about the reason.
It turned out that after Lei Er and the others destroyed Jingang Village, they escorted the bandits down the mountain to the county town.
Every time they passed a small village or town, they loudly announced that the bandit dens in the Luoxia Mountains had been destroyed by the Gu family's caravan, and that all the villagers could live in peace in the future.
Some people believe these words, but many more are skeptical.
Several nearby counties had been plundered by thieves in the mountains. Some villagers and even their daughters and wives were robbed, and their lives and deaths were unknown ever since.
They also reported it to the government, but the government only sent people to make a symbolic circle. They found that there was nowhere to be found in the vast mountains, and finally returned empty-handed.
After the bandits learned the news, they became even more arrogant. They were even more unscrupulous when they went down the mountain to rob homes. The villagers were unable to fight and run, and they were miserable for a while.
When they heard that the bandits had been killed, the brave young men couldn't help but run out to take a look. They happened to see several bloody heads hanging next to Lei Er, and some of the captured women were their own relatives.
Overjoyed.
Lei Er did not mention the merits of the fortress soldiers at all, he only mentioned the Gu family caravan, and even kindly wrote the word "古" for them to identify.
That's why this situation happened now.
Gu Shengnan was very happy after hearing this.
The status of businessmen has always been low, and it is rare for people to respect her. Moreover, she is still a woman, and no one will take her seriously.
At this time, she saw the villagers on the road being grateful to their caravan. When the female business leader looked at Ren Ning and the soldiers in the fortress, she couldn't help but get close to them.
cough!
Ren Ning coughed and said, "Shang Gushang, instead of looking at us with such gratitude, you might as well be more practical."
Gu Shengnan couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
Don’t you just want money?
Their caravan has already saved a sum of money to feed the bandits on the road, and of course there is no problem in distributing it to the soldiers in the fortress.
