After sending Mr. Cen and the Ye family to Rongxi Village, Mu Zheng turned around and led his men back.
"Brother Zheng, I never thought we would run into this gang of gangsters when we came here.
"Yeah, we've done something great this time, right?"
"Even if I don't get a promotion when I go back, I'm sure I'll get a reward!"
Mu Zheng didn't say anything at first, but when he saw the people around him getting more and more excited, he said in a deep voice, "What's there to be proud of? If it weren't for Brother Ye's three arrows that intimidated the bandits, would we have won so easily?"
This sentence immediately suppressed the smug thoughts of several people.
Indeed, when they discovered the bandits, they rushed forward quickly.
I watched Boss Ye shoot those three arrows with my own eyes.
Everyone was stunned by his move.
"He is indeed quite capable." Someone nodded in agreement.
However, some young people disagreed and said, "Maybe it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Mu Zheng turned his head and said in a deep voice, "One arrow could be considered a coincidence, but all three arrows hit right between the eyebrows. Can you try to hit one and see?"
The young man lowered his eyes and stopped talking, but one could still see that he was not convinced.
"Is it so hard to admit that others are superior?" Mu Zheng asked, "If you feel you're not as skilled as others, just practice harder. What's the point of being sour here?"
Several people quickly rushed back to the place where they had just had a conflict with the bandits.
The few people who had been left behind to guard were still waiting for them there.
Seeing the corpses lined up on the ground, especially the three with long arrows stuck in their eyebrows, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Such accuracy and strength are truly shocking every time you see it.
"Let's go. Let's hurry back to the county town to report to the adults." Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Zheng told everyone to set off quickly.
However, because they were accompanied by more than a dozen bandits, when they finally returned to Fengle County, the city gates had already been locked.
"The city gate is locked so early?" Someone hurried to ask for credit from Lord Qin, but when he saw that the city gate was already locked, he shouted in dissatisfaction.
Someone on the city wall poked his head out, wanting to ask what the commotion was about, and then recognized Mu Zheng at a glance.
"Hey, Master Mu, you're back." The man raised his hand and pointed eastward, saying, "I'm so sorry, but the north and south gates of our county town were locked early, but the west gate is still open. Please go there."
"Okay!" Mu Zheng had no objection. He turned his horse around, waved his hand, and led his men towards the west gate.
The young man, who had been complaining before, whispered again, "We're already at the city gate. Can't you just open it? It's so late at night, and we still have to go to the west gate by ourselves."
"If it were just us, it would be fine, but we've caught so many bandits!
"If we don't say anything about disrespecting them, aren't we afraid that the bandits will run away?"
Mu Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, so he whipped him in the face and cursed, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here, and don't come here again."
The young man's face changed when he heard this. He didn't expect Mu Zheng to be so disrespectful to him.
The team led by Mu Zheng was not all Qin Songyin's own men, some of them were from Shuntian Prefecture.
They had come here together with Qin Songyin before, and Mu Zheng led the team here later to deliver things.
These people didn't know Mu Zheng very well, and because he looked unfamiliar, they were not very convinced.
So when Mu Zheng decided to lead the team to patrol in the direction of Rongxi Village, some people had objections.
Who would have thought that they would actually run into this gang of bandits on this trip.
Although everyone can get a share of the rewards based on merit.
But it was obvious that Mu Zheng had to take most of it by himself, and only then would they get to share the rest.
So when the young man said that Boss Ye was a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, he was actually expressing his dissatisfaction with Mu Zheng.
The other few people who were originally Qin Songyin's subordinates never joined them, but were waiting for Mu Zheng to deal with them.
They knew very well in their hearts that Mu Zheng was so highly valued by Qin Songyin at such a young age, so he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Sure enough, Mu Zheng couldn't help it in the end and went up to give the man a whip.
"Ouch——" the young man covered his face and screamed.
There was a long wound on his face, starting from the right forehead and ending at the left chin, with the skin and flesh torn.
Seeing this, several other people from Shuntian Prefecture immediately huddled together. The oldest among them said, "Master Mu, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate!"
"What? You want to be whipped too?" Mu Zheng swung the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound.
Several people in Shuntian Prefecture were frightened and trembled together.
"puff--"
Some of Mu Zheng's men couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Mu Zheng turned around and glanced at them indifferently, and several people immediately raised their hands to cover their mouths.
"Since you are under my jurisdiction today, you must obey my orders. I will naturally punish those who disobey my orders.
"As for whether what I did was appropriate, my family will judge for me. It's not your turn to comment."
After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he turned his horse around and rode into the city first.
Several other people immediately followed, not forgetting to pull the rope that tied up the bandit.
Several people from Shuntian Prefecture were left alone outside the city gate.
Several people looked at each other in confusion. Before they could discuss what to do, they heard someone shouting from the city gate: "Gentlemen, are you going to enter the city? The west gate is about to close."
A few people had no choice but to sleep outside the city if they didn't go into the city.
