Chapter 1896 Unable to Leave the City
The common people were naturally afraid of the bandits, but since they were so vulnerable and had been killed in pieces by the government, and now they were like rats crossing the street and dared not show up, and there was the temptation of ten taels of silver, the common people no longer felt how scary it was because they could see temporary patrol teams led by yamen runners on the streets from time to time.
The temptation of ten taels of silver is actually greater.
So, within less than half a day, three more bandits were captured in the pursuit and interception by the government and the people, with almost no blind spots! Two of them were reported by the people!
The news spread throughout the city in an instant, and the people became more excited and encouraged: It seems that these bandits are not scary at all, they are also human beings, just like this!
Citizens of the whole city opened their eyes wide to look for the bandits. Courageous young people even formed gangs to patrol the streets and deliberately wandered into remote alleys to try their luck...
Ten taels of silver...
This result was beyond Shao Yunduan's expectations, and everyone in the yamen was filled with laughter and confusion.
At this time, the leader of Hutou Village, the second leader Min, and two other backbone members of the village were hiding in Fan Ruyin's bedroom.
Fan Ruyin huddled in the corner and shivered. The four people were all injured to varying degrees. There was a long knife scar on the face of the leader of Hutou Village, which was horrifically bloody. Another person had a big stab wound on his arm, which was bandaged hastily and was covered in blood.
It was unclear where the other two people were injured, but their clothes were also stained with blood.
The smell of blood in the room and the fragrance of incense from the incense burner on the table could not be suppressed, and the atmosphere in the room was terribly depressing.
The trembling Fan Ruyin was not just trembling at this moment. She had already been slapped twice on the face and kicked twice on the body, but she did not dare to walk or even cry out in pain.
She knew that she was being taken out on.
She knew that if these guys didn't have other things to do, they would definitely beat her up even worse.
If she only felt a little regretful before, now she regrets it completely!
She had done something foolish, and she could not get away with it.
Two days passed, and the search in the city was still very strict. They didn't even dare to leave the city, let alone leave Fan Mansion.
According to Shao Yunduan's search method, once they left Fan Mansion, they would be discovered before they could get out of two alleys.
Although they were certain that Fan Ruyin would never dare to betray them, they were still anxious and irritated because they could not escape.
They didn't know yet that Hutou Village was completely destroyed.
Before Hang Xingshan, he accidentally discovered a remote path that leads to the back mountain of Hutouzhai. Although the road is difficult to walk on and a section is quite dangerous, this danger is surmountable for them.
So, a group of about thirty people spent a day climbing up the mountain behind Hutouzhai at twilight.
The sentry post at the back mountain discovered them, but before they could sound the alarm, they were shot dead by Hang Xingshan and others.
Hang Xingshan and his group sneaked into Hutou Village from the back mountain and ambushed quietly.
At three o'clock in the morning, they quietly broke in and set a fire.
Someone else took advantage of the chaos to put on the clothes of the killed bandits, mixed in with the bandits, ran straight to the front mountain gate, and opened the village gate.
Sun Qian and his companions, who were lying in ambush several miles away, immediately set off when they saw the flames rising into the sky. They eliminated the sentries they encountered on the way, and killed their way to Hutou Village. Together with Hang Xingshan and others, they killed all the bandits in Hutou Village.
