This female bandit is truly remarkable; she has a strong moral compass. Even when faced with the prospect of robbing someone, she still complains that the other party is offering too much.

Indeed, a thousand taels of silver was something this female bandit had never dared to dream of before. She thought that if she robbed someone, she would be lucky to get one or two taels of silver, and ten taels of silver would be considered an exorbitant price. She never expected that the person opposite her would actually give her a thousand taels of silver.

I wouldn't even dare to dream of this under normal circumstances.

So she immediately spoke up:

"A thousand taels of silver is far too much. Although we are bandits, we have our bottom line. We always uphold the last vestiges of morality in our hearts."

Therefore, we believe that we should only seize as much as is appropriate and appropriate, and absolutely not seize more than we should.

Zhu Yunwen found it rather amusing; this female bandit was definitely not cut out to run a mountain stronghold. So Zhu Yunwen continued to tease her, saying:

"No, I'm only worth this price. If you want to rob me, you have to rob me of a thousand taels of silver, or don't rob me at all."

This put the female bandit in a difficult position, as she had never encountered such a situation before. However, she only hesitated for a moment before suddenly realizing something.

He's a bandit, not a merchant. This robbery isn't a business, so why is he agonizing over it?

So he rebuked Zhu Yunwen:

"Stop talking nonsense. This isn't a business deal I'm doing. Why are you haggling with me? I said I want ten taels of silver, so it's ten taels. Not a tael more, not a tael less."

There's no room for negotiation. Quickly hand over ten taels of silver, and that's the end of it. Let's not waste each other's time.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but burst into laughter. He then rode his horse slowly forward, and after getting much closer, he said to the female bandit:

"Are you sure you want ten taels of silver?"

The female bandit nodded and said:

"Not bad, ten taels of silver. You... wait... wait a minute, you look familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Zhu Yuntong sneered: "Is that so? You've seen me somewhere before, haven't you? Think carefully, where have you seen me before?"

The female bandit thought about it carefully, then her expression suddenly changed, and the other bandits behind her were all surprised.

Because they discovered that the Zhu Yunwen standing before them was the same young man who had given them a severe beating during their previous robbery.

The female bandit panicked the next moment and said:

"It's you again? How come I ran into you here again?"

Zhu Yunwen sneered:

"What, is there something wrong with me? It's you guys who seem to have completely ignored my warnings."

The female bandit stared blankly at Zhu Yunwen, clearly still unable to process what had happened. How could she have suddenly encountered this man who terrified her again?

Of course, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't believe it. The facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe them.

Then Zhu Yunwen spoke again:

"What's wrong? Didn't you hear me? I seem to recall saying before that if you do this kind of thing again, I'll arrest you. Isn't it time for me to keep my promise?"

The female bandit was utterly speechless with despair upon hearing this.

That's why they say you should keep a Chinese almanac at home.

You have to consult the almanac before going out! Of course, it's too late to say anything now, so all I could do was say with a sense of despair and helplessness:

"What...what do you want?"

Zhu Yunwen, still mounted on his horse, said, "Didn't I just say I'd arrest you?"

The female bandit said, "But I was just saying it; I haven't robbed you yet! Even if I had that motive, can't you give me another chance?"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said, "Giving you a chance is not impossible, but you have to answer one question for me."

The female bandit nodded and said:

"What problem is it?"

Facing Zhu Yunwen, she had no intention of resisting at all, because she had truly been subdued by him before.

Then Zhu Yunwen said:

"Tell me, where are you going?"

This was indeed a matter of great concern to Zhu Yunwen at the moment, because according to the information he had received, these female bandits were being used by Elder Sun to dig up the seeds of the people.

However, these bandits were carrying all sorts of belongings in large and small bags, looking like they were about to move house.

You just mentioned that you're moving, so could it be that the cooperation between the two parties failed to be reached?

Faced with Zhu Yunwen's question, the female bandit answered without hesitation:

"Didn't we just say that we're moving to another place?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said:

"Then let me ask you again, wasn't there a middle-aged fat man who approached you to discuss cooperation before?"

The female bandit was stunned. She never expected that Zhu Yunwen would even know about this matter.

He immediately became nervous, stammering and unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Zhu Yunwen frowned: "You'd better answer my question as soon as possible, otherwise, as you know, I have a bad temper. If I really do something to you, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's undisguised threat, it was impossible for the female bandit not to be afraid; not to mention her subordinates, they were all extremely nervous.

They were afraid that if the female bandit didn't answer one of their questions well, they would get beaten up again.

The scene of being beaten is still vivid in my mind.

The female bandit also knew that Zhu Yunwen must have already obtained a lot of information to ask such a question.
