The bear thought its eyes were playing tricks on it, so it quickly rubbed them.
It really was that family's carriage. It stopped in front of stall number eight, and the tall men of the Qiao family got off one by one, all unharmed.
How could that be?
When he informed Wang Mazi yesterday, Wang Mazi decided to pull off this job. By the time he left, Wang Mazi had already taken his men to make preparations.
Wang Mazi had nearly thirty men under his command, which meant he could almost fight four men at once.
But the Qiao family members are all safe and sound. How did they escape from the ambush and encirclement?
The bear looked completely bewildered, accompanied by a sense of unease.
Qiao Lian'er glanced at Bi Xiong and saw his expression as if he had seen a dead man come back to life, so she was basically certain that he was the one who did it.
At that moment, a group of constables suddenly appeared not far away, running over with their hands on the swords at their waists. The head constable shouted loudly to clear the way.
"Make way, make way! The authorities are on orders to apprehend criminals."
The pedestrians on the street quickly parted to both sides, and the constables soon arrived on this side.
They swarmed forward, pinned down the bewildered bear, and immediately tied it up with ropes.
They also confiscated his stall.
The bear then realized that these officials had come to arrest him.
When did he become a criminal?
Struggling violently, he shouted, "I'm not a criminal! You've arrested the wrong person! I'm just an honest and law-abiding stall owner!"
The constable snorted: "You informed the bandit king, Wang Mazi, that he was leading his bandits to ambush passersby, intending to rob and kill them. Come on, I'll take you to confront Wang Mazi."
Only then did Arm Bear realize that his scheme had been exposed and that Wang Mazi had revealed his secret.
That's it, he was ashen-faced.
He lost most of his strength, his body went limp, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
The officers took him away without any mercy.
The stall where the bear was located was empty, both the people and the stall itself.
The Qiao family was pleased to see this.
This bear was the most troublemaker; he not only led the stall owner in causing trouble, but also tipped off the bandits.
Now that the bear has been taken away, some stall owners look very unhappy and resentful.
Even with thirty men, Wang Mazi, a childhood friend of Arm Bear, couldn't deal with this family. They'll just have to put up with it from now on.
"Father." Hearing a shout, Qiao Laoda turned around and saw that it was Da Yong and Da Cheng.
Their eyes lit up, they were in high spirits, and they walked as if they could fly.
Da Yong was holding a box in his hands, which looked rather heavy.
"The county magistrate praised us for our meritorious service in eliminating the mountain bandits, which relieved the county government of a major problem, and rewarded us with twenty taels of silver."
After he finished speaking, the Qiao family was both surprised and delighted: "So many!"
I thought they would only give me a few coins as a token, but I didn't expect them to be so generous.
"Yes, that's all. The two brothers who went with us also received two taels each as a reward."
Da Cheng said, "They didn't try to take credit. They said the main credit should go to our Qiao family, and they were just helping out along the way."
“They are both good kids, and honest ones.” Boss Qiao nodded.
It's not that the Qiao family wants to claim credit for this; they did indeed contribute 90% of the effort in killing so many bandits yesterday.
Last night's events eliminated the hidden dangers on the road, and the troublemaking bear was also taken away. We picked up a pile of weapons and even received a reward.
