I saw that most of the villagers understood clearly.
Su Yunhai felt a little better.
Otherwise, if he had to keep traveling with these ungrateful people, he would be so sick that he would die.
Su Yunhai didn't want to get involved in the matter of whether to drive away those who took the opportunity to cause trouble.
"You can discuss this matter with the village chief. I don't care about it. The most important thing now is to interrogate these two people."
After saying that, Su Yunhai looked at the officers and soldiers and continued to ask questions.
"How many of your officers and soldiers still know that you are chasing us?"
The soldier suddenly had an idea and thought that he might have found a chance to survive.
"Many officers and soldiers know that we are out of the city to look for you. We should have been on duty in the city today, but the leader switched shifts with another group of brothers in order to look for you."
"They also said that we would treat them to a meal after we returned. If they saw that we had not returned, they would definitely get suspicious and would send someone to look for us."
...
...
"Brother, please spare our lives. When we go back, we will say that we encountered bandits and we will never betray you. Please believe me!"
The officers and soldiers looked at Su Yunhai pleadingly, hoping to give him a chance to live.
Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers who were stabbed in the hand quickly begged for mercy while enduring the pain.
"Yes, please let us go. If we can't go back, the county magistrate will definitely send a large number of officers and soldiers to hunt us down. Let us go, and we can still pick you out and put the blame on the bandits. We will never bother you again!"
When Su Yunhai had asked enough questions, he wiped the necks of the two men without hesitation.
The villagers didn't expect that Su Yunhai would kill the last two officers without hesitation.
They subconsciously felt that what the two officers said made some sense.
So many officers and soldiers in the county government knew that these people were coming to find them.
If these officers do not return, a large number of soldiers will surely come to investigate and hunt them down.
With these two officers mediating, maybe they could really get away with it and put the blame on the bandits.
They couldn't understand why Su Yunhai killed these two people.
"Mr. Su, why did you kill these people?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, isn't it more beneficial for us if they can clear our suspicion?"
Shen Shuli was no longer sleepy and had been hiding in a tree nearby, paying attention to this side.
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
"We killed so many officers and soldiers, how could these two not hold a grudge against us?"
"You actually believed what they said and thought they would let us go?"
"Don't be naive!"
"Also, don't forget that these people were instigated by the Wang family. As long as the soldiers don't return with good news, the Wang family will definitely become suspicious, and then we will be targeted by the government sooner or later."
"So we can't let these two live at all. Maybe they can buy us some more time to escape."
The night is as dark as ink.
The villagers leaned forward and searched for a long time before they saw the person who was talking hiding in the tree.
It turned out to be Su Yunhai’s daughter.
After listening to her explanation, everyone finally understood Su Yunhai's intention.
Su Yunhai couldn't help but nodded: "My daughter is right! That's what I meant."
Li Rui thought further and said worriedly: "If that's the case, we will be targeted by the government sooner or later? Then aren't we still in danger?"
The villagers finally reacted.
It seems they are not safe now!
"Then what shall we do?"
"This place is less than 20 miles away from Qingyun City. Will they come to capture us soon?"
"So what are you waiting for? Run!"
"Everyone calm down." Su Yunhai shouted to stop the noise.
Everyone felt anxious, fearing that the police would catch up with them in the next second. They looked at Su Yunhai expectantly, wanting to know what solution he had.
"It's getting late, everyone should rest and recover their strength."
"We'll set off as soon as it's light."
"I think it will be after daybreak before those officers and soldiers can catch up with us."
We have been struggling for nearly ten hours. If we hurry on, not only will we not be able to see the road clearly, but we won't be able to travel much faster either.
It’s better to have a good rest.
As for the bodies of the officers and soldiers, Su Yunhai found a few people to throw the bodies into a nearby ravine.
It would be daybreak in another hour.
You must rest and get enough sleep to restore your strength.
.
Four hours ago.
Qinglong Village.
There are three leaders in Qinglong Village.
The three heads were discussing matters in the meeting hall.
"Third brother, it's already so late. Why haven't any of the brothers we sent out come back?" asked the eldest boss.
The third in command is responsible for arranging people to carry out tasks.
"I find it strange too. We sent the person out at 3 p.m. yesterday. Logically, he should have been back last night." The third in command frowned, looking puzzled.
"It's been a whole day and a night. Maybe something unexpected happened?" The second in command had a bad feeling and asked.
"There are only a dozen or so villages at the foot of the mountain, and they are all inhabited by farmers who only know how to dig for food in the soil. For our more than 30 brothers with great skills, killing them would be as easy as cutting vegetables, right?" The third in command said disdainfully.
"These unruly people actually dared to escape with the food. They are just tools for us to grow food. They really don't know how to live or die."
"I guess it's because the brothers haven't seen fresh women for a long time. When they saw beautiful girls and women outside, they couldn't help but play with them for a long time. Don't worry, just wait a little longer."
The big boss was a little annoyed and suppressed his anger and asked, "Then the grain-carrying team should have sent back some grain, right? It's been so long, how come there is no news at all?"
These brothers under me are really too proud of themselves.
When they got a new woman, they didn't know to send her back to him first, so they used her first. He was very dissatisfied and thought he had to give them a good beating!
The third in command didn’t know what was going on either.
The second in command suggested: "Why don't we send a team down the mountain to see what's going on."
"OK."
Two hours later.
The bandits who were sent down the mountain to investigate ran back in a hurry.
He almost crawled in.
"Replying to the First, Second, and Third Boss!"
"Oh no! Something has happened! It's a big accident!"
The three bosses all felt nervous when they saw him like this.
The eldest boss immediately asked: "Tell me quickly, what happened!"
"Dead, all dead! All the brothers we sent down the mountain are dead! Many people from the nearby villages have fled."
"I secretly asked the nearby villagers for information, and they said that a scholar from Taohua Village organized several hundred people to set up an ambush and killed our people."
"The bodies of our brothers were thrown in the back hills of Taohua Village. They were dead, all dead..."
The three bosses' faces changed drastically when they heard this!
"Are you telling the truth?" the boss asked in disbelief.
He knew his men wouldn't dare to lie to him about something like this, but he still found it hard to believe.
"Really, Big Boss, you have to avenge our brothers!"
The three brothers did not hesitate and immediately led the entire village down the mountain.
