Whether the female bandit was clever or not is unknown, but one thing is certain: she did learn how to double-cross Zhu Yunwen.

Given the current situation, she didn't want to do this, but she wanted the money, so she took the money and agreed to do it, but in the blink of an eye, she was preparing to leave.

The key point is that when she did it, all the bandits below thought it was feasible.

The reason is simple: they have a bottom line and are unwilling to do this kind of thing, but they really want to make the money, so they can only resort to double-crossing each other.

In addition, she also wanted to use this double-crossing to punish the middle-aged fat man, or rather, to punish Old Sun, since what they did was truly outrageous.

It seems like you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't swindle money from this kind of person.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards who had secretly followed the middle-aged fat man also learned everything that had happened here.

Therefore, the Imperial Guard quickly returned and reported the matter to Zhu Yunwen.

Upon receiving the news, Zhu Yunwen immediately sneered. To be honest, he really hadn't expected that Old Master Sun's solution would be to find a scapegoat.

This method is indeed quite suitable.

Given the current situation, if those bandits had no moral compass, they could succeed in doing this if they really wanted to.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen didn't know what kind of situation these bandits were. In his opinion, the bandits would probably do as Elder Sun suggested.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen decided to deal with this band of mountain bandits as well. So he gave ten Imperial Guards the order:

"Get ready. Tonight, we'll guard the path the bandits will inevitably take down the mountain and make sure to wipe them all out."

They want to be used as pawns by this old man Sun to oppose the people and to oppose me.

They clearly didn't heed my previous warnings at all. Since that's the case, they'll pay the price.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards immediately went to prepare, and Zhao Qingzhu frowned as she spoke:

"Logically speaking, those bandits wouldn't do such a thing. But you never know, after all, Old Master Sun was willing to give so much money, so it's not surprising that they would do something for money."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "We'll know the specifics when the time comes; it's too early to draw conclusions now."

In any case, if those bandits truly have no bottom line, then I will certainly punish them severely.

I let them go before out of genuine compassion; I hope they'll behave themselves.

After such preparations, that very night, a group of more than twenty bandits, pulling a horse-drawn cart and dragging their families along a cement road north of Hekou County, could be seen in the darkness.

They brought a lot of things with them this time, since they were planning to flee, so naturally they had to take all their belongings with them.

They hadn't walked far when they saw some figures vaguely visible on the opposite side of the road.

The key point is that these figures were all riding horses, and because of the darkness, the bandits couldn't see who they were.

The female bandit then spoke:

Who is blocking the way?

Not far away, riding on horseback at the very front, was none other than Zhu Yunwen.

And next to him was Zhao Qingzhu.

The difference is that Zhu Yunwen was able to see the bandits on the other side more clearly.

So he sneered and said:

"Are these bandits blind? They're so close, how come they can't even tell who I am?"

Zhao Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, paused for a moment, then spoke:

"We can't see them clearly either, but judging from their voices, they seem to be that group of mountain bandits."

This surprised Zhu Yunwen. He really hadn't expected that Zhao Qingzhu and the others hadn't been able to see the person on the other side either.

Zhu Yunwen then looked at one of the Imperial Guards and asked:

"Did you all see clearly?"

The Imperial Guards all shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't see clearly.

Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized that he had read a history book that said that in ancient times, due to poor nutrition from childhood, people's physical development was not good in various aspects.

In areas like eyesight, the gap is significant compared to postmodern people.

Therefore, people in ancient times were generally believed to have night blindness, meaning that at night, even with the help of the faint moonlight and the starry sky, it was difficult to see things clearly.

Therefore, people in ancient times almost never went out at night, which explains why their eyesight was so poor.

Since they didn't see him clearly, Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes and spoke.

"And who are you people?"

The female bandit snorted, "You'd better not know who we are; it won't do you any good."

However, after she finished speaking, a man behind her casually said:

"Boss, why are you saying that? What's so hard to admit? We're mountain bandits."

"It's so late at night, in this desolate place, and we encounter this group of people. Wouldn't it be reasonable for us to reveal our identities and rob them?"

Upon hearing this, the female bandit realized it actually made a lot of sense, so she immediately added:

"We are mountain bandits. You are unlucky to have met us. If you know what's good for you, leave some of your valuables with us and we will let you leave safely. Otherwise, we will rob you of everything and leave you with nothing."

Zhu Yunwen, standing opposite him, almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. What did this mean? Coming down the mountain to do bad things? And incidentally expanding his original business as well?
