Lu Baichuan could understand her mood very well. After all, he brought the children here to prepare for a fruitful return. However, they found that the situation was different from what they imagined, and they were definitely disappointed.

However, the situation of the bandits can only show that they did not do anything bad. Even if they were so hungry, they did not get angry and rob the villagers down the mountain. This is already very rare.

“Let’s take the people back first, and leave it to Qin Jian on how to deal with it.”

Lu Baichuan felt that these things can give Qin Jian training, as long as they are done well. , the speed of promotion will be faster.

Qin Jian: ...I heard that I said thank you, you old man, and leave all the trouble to me!

He Jiuniang smiled so hard that she couldn’t see her teeth and said, "Why are you so bad? Hahahaha, Brother Qin must not draw circles and curse you behind your back!"

Lu Baichuan smiled, He said with a harmless expression: "He won't." That's weird!

But can you let your daughter-in-law know? Anyway, his official position is higher than that of Qin Jian, why should he be suppressed?

When the couple went back, Lei Zi's side was already over. Lei Zi was still soft-hearted. Seeing that they were all so hungry that they had no strength left, he just hit them twice casually without using any strength. This matter Just let it pass.

Lu Baichuan gave the order, and Lei Zi and others tied the hands of the bandit leaders with a sense of purpose, and then led a group of bandits down the mountain.

What’s terrible is that there are actually children in this village. They are not very old. At first glance, they look like they don’t have enough to eat and are chronically malnourished.

Lianhua and Youyatou went to interrogate several women, thinking that they had been robbed, but it turned out that they were not. They were originally the wives of some bandits who fled here a few years ago. Settled down a home.

The disaster a few years ago was an epidemic, and many people died. They fled thousands of miles here, but the government refused to accept them, saying that they were carrying the epidemic and wanted to give them away. Burned alive, they were forced to hide in the mountains and survive by robbing wealthy people.

“At that time, we thought we would also be infected and die, but we didn’t expect that everything would be fine after we came to this mountain, and we fell into trouble here.”

One of them The woman spoke in a very small voice. She knelt on the ground and begged: "Girl, my men and the others were forced. They have never killed anyone or done anything bad in these years. Please let us live!"

As the woman spoke, she kowtowed to the lotus and silently shed tears. From the day they fell into the enemy's trap, they had guessed that this day would come, and they just wanted to survive in this difficult time. I just want to survive in this world, so I have never touched anyone's life these years, just so that when this day comes, I will still be alive.There can be a way out.

It was the first time for Lianhua and Youyatou to encounter this situation. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, Lianhua said: "Don't worry, our third uncle is very fair. As long as you really haven't hurt anyone, you will be dealt with lightly."

After that Lianhua went to report the specific situation to He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan. He Jiuniang didn't say anything, and Lu Baichuan said: "It's empty talk. We will conduct a thorough investigation after we take it back. If it is true as they said, we will put it in a good place."

According to them, they were just a group of refugees. It was only the inaction of the government at the time that forced them to become bandits. They didn’t know it before, but now they know it and can’t ignore it. There are still people in Jingzhou. Placed in place.

This kind of matter is usually handed over to the prefect or county magistrate. Huoyunsi only needs to investigate the case or arrest people, but if the county or government agencies do not act, Huoyunsi still needs to Get involved.

What's more, they discovered this case and naturally handed it over to Qin Jian. If the matter can be handled well, the credit will be Qin Jian's.

Qin Jian is his brother, so of course Lu Baichuan will help him.

After hearing this, Lianhua felt relieved, and a group of people went down the mountain in a mighty manner.

The weather is good today, there is no snow, and the speed of going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain.

And he didn’t stay long on the mountain. When he came down, Fang Da thought that the ancestors of his family had failed and fled. Unexpectedly, when he took a closer look, the bandit leaders were all kidnapped. Holding hands.

Although it is a bit perfunctory, it is still tied up.

"Three masters and three ladies, are you so fast?"

Lu Baichuan glanced at him coldly and asked: "Who do you think is fast?"
< br /> Fang Da:...

He Jiuniang:...

"The younger one said it wrong, the younger one meant..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go see if everyone is here."

Lu Baichuan pulled He Jiuniang into the car without giving him a chance to talk nonsense.

The signal was already sent when we were on the mountain. Someone should be coming this way now. They don't need to take the person back personally, they just need to wait for someone to take over.

I don’t know how long it will take for them to arrive. Leizi and the others had nothing to do, so they took out some dry food they carried in the car and gave it to the children in the bandits. They looked at the children. They all looked satisfied after eating, and they didn’t regret that they couldn’t really fight the battle they had been thinking about for a long time.And from the current point of view, it is a good thing not to fight.

If a fight really breaks out, it means that these bandits have indeed done many evil things and killed many people, but it is the bandits who are starving now, and no one else is suffering, so that is the best situation.

Although the adults were also very greedy, they couldn't compete with their children. Seeing that the children were full, they looked at Leizi's group with a bit more genuine conviction in their eyes. , maybe this time, they really wait for honest officials who care about them, so that they can also be allocated land, and they can live like ordinary people in the future.

The people from Huoyun Division arrived half an hour later. During this period, they had been sending people to patrol the surrounding areas to prevent these bandits from coming out to harm people again, so they rushed over after receiving the signal. The speed is also faster.

"Third Master!"

We are all acquaintances. The last time we saw Lu Baichuan was before he went to the capital. After returning from the capital, Lu Baichuan only stayed in Fucheng for one day before returning. After going to the village, I didn't even go to the Huoyunsi Yamen, nor did I really say goodbye to everyone. It was after the new year that we met again, and everyone was a little touched.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go back. Take these people back first, and then send a few people to the surrounding villages to check."

Lu Baichuan knew what they wanted to express, but This was indeed not the place to talk, and besides, he had originally planned to get together with them after returning to Fucheng and say goodbye seriously, so there was really no need to stir things up at the foot of the mountain.

　“Yes!”

They were excited, but they did not forget what they were here for. They were about to drag the people away when they turned around and saw the bandits with yellow faces and thin muscles. , I felt a little reluctant to give up for a moment.

You have already become a bandit, how can you still be so miserable?

"This..."

Someone turned to see Lu Baichuan, and Lu Baichuan said: "The situation is special, get them some food, otherwise they won't have the energy to go back."
