"Help, help me! Someone is trying to kill me, help!"

The woman's whole body was a mess. It could be seen that she was originally wearing good materials and her family was not bad, but now her hair was messy. His clothes were in rags and he was in a very embarrassed state.

Lu Baichuan, Qin Jian and others were about to leave, but they could only stop and watched the woman run in front of them and fall next to the horse.

She gasped and cried: "Please two kind people, please save the little girl and her family! The little girl is kowtowing to you, please!"

As long as a normal person sees such a scene, he will not stand idly by, especially when Lu Baichuan and others are officials of the imperial court, and it is their duty to redress the grievances of the people.

After hearing this, Qin Jian asked: "Can you tell me more clearly, what happened?"

"There are bandits in the mountains in front of me. The little girl's family I'm still up there with my servants, I came down to ask for help!"

The woman cried miserably. The family members tried their best to stop the bandits and told her to run away, but she was frightened and scared, so she ran away. No one had been seen for a long time, and he was almost desperate, but at this moment he saw Lu Baichuan and his party.

"Please save my family! I am willing to be a cow or a horse for you, please."

This girl can be considered a kind and righteous person. People did not leave their families alone, but really asked for help along the way.

After hearing this, Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian looked at each other. Are there really banditry in this area?

That’s strange, why didn’t the local officials report it?

They originally chose this place because it was relatively remote. Normally no one would notice it, but no one would have any impression when they suddenly mentioned it. Unexpectedly, they actually encountered it.

"You lead the way, go and have a look."

The road on the mountain is not easy to ride on, so everyone tied their horses in the woods and followed the girl up the mountain.

The girl knelt and kowtowed to them to thank them, and then hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

She was a little nervous, always worried that she could not remember the way, and it would be bad if she got lost in the mountains.

Fortunately, this mountain road is not difficult to walk, and she did not take any detours when she came here, so she can remember it clearly.

She was very tired and her legs were shaking, but she didn't dare to slow down even half a minute. Her speed was related to the lives of her family.

Everyone also saw that she was anxious, and the speed of her feet increased a little.

"Right in front!"

The woman pointed not far away, her tone was very excited, and she felt that her whole body was full of motivation.I ran over there with all my strength, and when I got closer, I saw no one, but there was a strong smell of blood.

"Mom and dad! Big brother!"

She saw a group of people lying not far away, they were her family's servants and relatives. Among them, her sister-in-law and The other maids were all missing, and they must have been kidnapped by the thieves.

The woman was so sad that she fainted from crying.

Lu Baichuan and the others did not bring many people this time, and there were no female guards. They were all a group of old men, and it was really inconvenient to check the situation.

Lu Baichuan could only instruct the two unmarried guards to go over and take a look, while he, Qin Jian and others checked around.

There was no one around here. Apparently the bandits went back after robbing them.

However, why did they let this woman go? Could it be that they just wanted to attract more people with this woman?

But even so, those people were not guarding the area. He checked and found that there was really no one nearby.

Soon, the woman woke up, crawled up to Lu Baichuan, and cried: "Sir, please help me save my sister-in-law and the maids at home. They are all pitiful. Woman..."

As she said this, the woman felt sad and looked like she was about to faint again.

Among the corpses on the ground, there were not only adults, but also her three- and four-year-old nieces and nephews!

Those thieves who kill a thousand people will not even spare children.

"Don't worry, girl, we will handle this matter."

Lu Baichuan looked businesslike, turned around and went out to check.

They were originally here to suppress bandits, so it would be nice if they could benefit the people by the way.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Lu Baichuan felt very uncomfortable. When the tribesmen fled, it was even worse than now.

“Do you know where the bandits’ dens are?”

Qin Jian turned back and wanted to find out the specific situation.

"I don't know..."

The woman cried and shook her head, "Our family planned to find a paradise place to live, so the whole family moved here, but we didn't expect that on the way It’s just a disaster, woo woo…”

Nowadays, people with money and wealth like to find a place where no one will disturb them to live their own life. There is nothing to question about this, Qin Jian He sighed and said: "The matter has come to an end. My condolences to the girl."

"You guys will take this girl down the mountain first and settle down in the city. Baichuan and I will go look for the bandits. nestOrder and see if you can serve them a pot. ”

Qin Jian feels that without knowing the other person’s situation, the fewer people the better. Moreover, he and Lu Baichuan have been partners for many years and are familiar with each other’s meanings. They can communicate effectively with just one look and improve communication. Efficiency.

Lu Baichuan thought so too, but the woman was a little hesitant. She had just been scared by bandits and she didn't dare to trust others.

"I...I Can you follow the adults? I've been used as bait! "

She tried hard to make herself look valuable, but obviously Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian didn't think so.

"No need. "

They refused simply. They just went to investigate the situation, and they didn't need weak people as bait.

The woman was very disappointed and said: " I, I want to collect the corpses of my parents..."

Lu Baichuan nodded and had no objection. This is what children should do.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian left, and the others The man stayed behind to help the woman dig a hole and bury the body. Although they died unexpectedly, they could still be buried in peace.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian walked up the mountain. It happened that it was dinner time. When I clicked on it, I saw smoke from the mountains not far away. They must be cooking.

Qin Jian licked his dry lips and said, "It's great. We can still catch up if we go now. a meal. "

Lu Baichuan glanced at him quietly, and suddenly regretted bringing him here.

Why do you feel that this guy has become more and more unreliable after getting married?
< br /> Qin Jian didn’t think it was anything. He learned this from his younger siblings. Only when he is full can he have the strength to work!

Lu Baichuan said no more and continued to move forward. The woods in the deep mountains and old forests were so dense that it was impossible to walk on horseback. Fortunately, both of them were good at light skills, so it didn’t take much effort.

When they reached the next hill, Lu Baichuan climbed up a big tree. , took out the clairvoyance given by his wife and looked at the place where the smoke was coming from.

It is indeed a den of thieves, it looks relatively new, it should have just been established.

Shouldn’t it be Ah, the bandits that have just taken over are generally not very strong, and they don’t dare to be so rampant. This group of people dares to kill people blatantly, and they dare to leave people alive to go out to find people. It’s obviously not as simple as they thought.
