Just then, Li Jinbao's advisor returned. Seeing the people in the hall, he knelt down and saluted, saying, "This humble official pays respects to His Highness Prince Chen."
Nangong Beichen glanced at him. His body and feet were covered in dust, and his mouth was cracked and bleeding.
He glanced at Li Jinbao lying on the ground and said, "Look at you. This is a good official who serves the people. Look at yourself now. You haven't even wiped the grease off your mouth. You're covered in fat. How could your father, such a brilliant man, give birth to someone as unmotivated as you? And you're not even leading the way!"
Li Jinbao timidly followed a few people out of the government office. When he turned a corner, he saw a group of ragged people gathered together.
Fengjiu signaled Ansan to go over and see what was going on. Ansan pushed through the crowd and saw an old man lying on the ground. The old man was already unconscious.
An San told Feng Jiu about the situation. Feng Jiu squeezed into the crowd and took out a bottle of water. An San fed the water to the old man lying on the ground. The water was mixed with spiritual spring water. The old man fainted because he was very hungry.
One of the men, about thirty years old, expressed his gratitude repeatedly, "Thank you for saving my father's life."
Feng Jiu: "Go to the county government office and wait. The government will distribute food. You can bring your household registration and receive the food."
The man who had just thanked Fengjiu said, "Benefactor, our household registration was robbed by bandits, and all the things we brought with us are gone. They also robbed our wives and children, and killed many people. We fought hard to survive."
Fengjiu: "Where did you encounter the bandits?"
"On the way to Longshan County, there's a mountain called Tiger Mountain. On Tiger Mountain lives a group of bandits who often rob passersby with ruthless methods."
Fengjiu clenched her fists and decided to go meet the bandits after finishing her business here.
He left two large buckets of water for them and asked them to go to the government office and wait, and then he would find a way to solve the household registration problem.
Several people came to the dry well, measured the depth, put out the machine and started working. There are three wells nearby.
It took an hour for water to come out of the three wells. The lawyer asked the yamen runners to beat gongs in the street to inform the people that there was water in the wells and to bring their household registration to the government office to collect food.
When the people heard the news, they all rushed to the county government office, and those rich second-generations also sent food over.
Fengjiu explained everything and kept some of the grain.
Nangong Beichen looked at Li Jinbao who had been following behind him. "What are your thoughts now? Are you going to be a good county magistrate here, or go back to the capital? I will give you two choices today. If you want to be a good county magistrate, I will not pursue today's matter. If you want to go back to the capital, then you can forget about being an official in this life."
Li Jinbao: "Your Highness, I want to be the county magistrate here. I know I was wrong, and I will be a son that makes my father proud."
Nangong Beichen: "Don't make big promises here, just be a good county magistrate first."
Several people drove away from Nanyuan County, and the next stop was Longshan County. It just so happened that Fengjiu wanted to deal with the robbers.
After driving for two hours, An Yi stopped the car and pointed at the mountain ahead and said, "Princess, Tiger Mountain is ahead."
It was already afternoon. Feng Jiu put the car into the space and went into Tiger Mountain with the secret guards. Tiger Mountain was steep and the secret guards were too slow. Nangong Beichen put several people into the space, and Feng Jiu and Nangong Beichen flew on swords.
It took only a quarter of an hour to reach the robbers' stronghold. The stronghold was very large, with a cliff behind it and high walls on three sides. It was a good place for defense. As long as people did not leave the stronghold, it would be difficult for outsiders to break in.
Nangong Beichen also asked the Nanyuan County's legal advisor about the situation. Nanyuan County and Longshan County had previously cooperated to suppress bandits. They brought a total of one thousand soldiers and fought for three days, but failed to enter the village. They had no other choice but to give up.
That was two years ago. At that time, there were only more than 700 robbers. Two years have passed. I wonder how many are left now!
Fengjiu and the other man put on an invisibility talisman and entered the mountain stronghold. They first found out the situation inside and then tried to find a way to eliminate the robbers.
The two men first went to where the robbers lived. There were four neat rows of wooden two-story buildings, with about a hundred houses in each row. At this time, there was no one in the house.
Fengjiu scanned the entire village with his consciousness. Everyone was in a house on the other side of the cliff. This seemed to be the residence of several bosses in the village.
It's dinner time now, and except for the robbers on guard, the rest of the robbers are here.
There were at least more than a thousand people in total. While the robbers were eating here, Fengjiu and the other man found their warehouse.
The two men slipped in and found the place filled with gold, silver and treasures. This group of robbers had been here for nearly twenty years and had robbed quite a lot of property.
Feng Jiu put all these things into the space, and after coming out, he released several secret guards from the space. The secret guards went to the place Feng Jiu said to rescue those who were tied up on the mountain.
Fengjiu and Nangong Beichen went to deal with the robbers. At this time, the robbers were still eating and drinking. There were three people sitting at the top table, and one of these three was the leader of this group of robbers.
This group of people committed murder and robbery, doing all sorts of evil things. The people at the table were still talking about how they had robbed several beautiful women in the past few days.
"After the big brothers had their feast in the evening, they wanted to try some too. Some of the men who looked quite wretched laughed heartily."
Fengjiu couldn't stand it any longer, so he tore off the invisibility talisman on his body and slipped into the yard. The leader saw the two children.
Looking at the guards outside, he angrily asked, "How did you watch the door? You didn't notice that two children had run out?"
A short man outside replied, "Brother, we didn't see anyone go in from outside!"
The robber's eldest brother: "Little kid, where are you from?"
Fengjiu: "I came down from the mountain."
The robber's eldest brother: "Who are you here with? What are you doing here?"
Fengjiu: "We came here on our own, to kill you."
When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.
A bearded man said with a smile, "Little girl, you knew we were out of fresh meat, so you brought us some meat, right? I love chubby little girls like you the most. They taste so delicious."
Fengjiu felt nauseous after hearing what the bearded man said. She raised her hand and a leaf flew into her hand.
Before everyone could see clearly, the leaf went straight through the bearded man's forehead and went three feet into the ground.
When everyone saw this scene, they all swallowed their saliva. The bearded man had already fallen to the ground, his eyes open in death.
The boss reacted and said, "Who are you and why are you coming to my village?"
Fengjiu: "I'm here to avenge the innocent people who died at your hands!"
