Zhao Da and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yimian asked curiously, "You're just going to sell the Lin family's goods like this? Doesn't the chieftain have any other plans?"
She saw several horse-drawn carriages in the mountain village that day, and it was unlikely that they would sell out in a short time.
As for those goods, although we don't know exactly what they are, it's probably useless for the people in the mountain stronghold to keep so many of them.
Wang Ergou glanced at Lin Yan'an before hesitatingly saying, "I heard from the other brothers in the village that the Lin family seems to be a wealthy family. It seems that the chief sent a message to the Lin family's shops in the county town, saying that they should bring silver to redeem the goods and people at 5 pm tomorrow. I heard that among those who were arrested, there was a young master of the Lin family. Otherwise, why would the chief do such a troublesome thing?"
He noticed that there were more people patrolling the village today, which was clearly in preparation for the Lin family's delivery of silver.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Yan'an, only to see him frowning, no longer bothering to wave his folding fan, and saying irritably, "Has the message been delivered?"
Wang Ergou nodded. "I heard it was delivered early this morning, so the news should have arrived by now."
Lin Yan'an frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "I will go back and confirm this news. If it is true, I will inform the magistrate and then make further plans."
Those damned bandits, he can forget about bringing his goods back intact.
Zhao Da nodded, about to speak.
Wang Ergou hurriedly pleaded, "Gentlemen, I've told you everything I know. Please put in a good word for me with the magistrate and spare my life, please..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yimian knocked the other person unconscious with a single slap, coldly saying, "Shut up."
Zhao Da swallowed hard before saying, "I will go back and tell the magistrate about these things. We will make arrangements as soon as possible and strive to suppress the bandits."
Jiang Yimian responded, but still reminded him, "This man's words are not entirely true, but about 70% true. The magistrate wants to take advantage of the Lin family's delivery of silver and the purchase of supplies from the mountain stronghold to suppress the bandits."
Then she can sneak into the mountain stronghold to secretly help, and hopefully take down the bandits in one fell swoop.
Zhao Da responded and instructed Jiang Yimian not to let the people from Xiaowadi wander around the mountains recently. After hesitating for a moment, he took Wang Ergou and left.
This person definitely cannot be sent back.
Wang Ergou secretly left the bandit group and didn't return that night. Those people probably wouldn't dare to make a fuss. First, he wasn't important in the village, and second, the few people who were doing the purchasing wouldn't even think that something had happened to him.
Rather than letting them go back and alerting them, it's better to bring them directly back to the government office.
After the group disappeared, Jiang Yimian walked towards the vicinity of the mountain stronghold. Looking into the distance, the situation inside surprised her.
