"Yes, he is our boss."
Chen Er smiled and said.
"If I meet your boss, what should I call him?"
Lin Xiaofei asked again.
The so-called boss was startled the moment he saw him.
He knew the other party's leader; upon closer reflection, he had met him twice.
One time was when he intercepted He Buzhong near the Song Family Escort Agency. He saw He Buzhong leading a group of people to chase after him from afar, and thus fought with the people of the Song Family Escort Agency. Another time was when he was chasing a traitor and on his way back, he hid in the space bead and saw the traitor talking to the fourth leader of Black Wind Village.
This man was none other than the bandit leader, a petty tyrant.
To his surprise, he ended up dealing with a group of bandits.
Moreover, he made some guesses and concluded that the bullies were definitely transporting something that the government had prohibited from passing through.
At the same time, the conversation he had overheard between the bully and Zhang Shuanghai flashed through his mind.
In an instant, an idea came to him: these so-called herbal goods were very likely intended for Zhang Shuanghai, the fourth leader of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Our boss's surname is Chang, and his given name is Qingshan. If you meet our boss, just call him Brother Chang."
Chen Er smiled and said.
Lin Xiaofei smiled and nodded, exchanging a few polite words, but inwardly he thought to himself:
I've actually ended up helping a bunch of bandits escort goods; this is definitely not a good thing.
At this moment, he finally understood that this group of people were all bandits, which made him hesitate about whether to help them escort the goods or kill them.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to wait and see.
He wanted to see where the goods that the little bully and his gang were escorting would end up.
Lin Xiaofei and Chen Er walked at the front of the carriage procession. After another hour, the last checkpoint of Wushan Road was not far ahead.
"The ten people walking towards us are not the patrolmen of the Qingfeng Gang. Young Master Lin, as the Right Protector of the Qingfeng Gang, you should be able to say a few words to them, right?"
Chen Er leaned closer and whispered to Lin Xiaofei.
"I'll give it a try!" Lin Xiaofei nodded and said.
Soon, a group of ten patrolling soldiers stopped them all.
"I never expected to meet the disciple of the Right Protector of the Qingfeng Gang here. It's really great. I heard that Brother Lin won first place in the martial arts competition of the Qingfeng Gang branch. He is truly a young talent of our Qingshan Town."
Although you are a disciple of the Right Protector and an outstanding disciple of the Green Peak Gang, we, the government officials, must inspect all the goods behind you.
Please forgive me, Brother Lin!
The ten patrolling soldiers approached, and the lead soldier spoke, then gestured for the other nine soldiers to approach the carriage.
He knew that these carriages and goods were being escorted by Lin Xiaofei, so there must be some good stuff among them. He then thought of having his nine men take some of it.
As for whether he would offend Lin Xiaofei, he wasn't worried at all. After all, Lin Xiaofei was a government official, and he was related to the town mayor, so he had powerful backers. Therefore, he believed that even if he offended Lin Xiaofei, it wouldn't matter much.
"Sir, this is just a small token of our appreciation. We hope you will accept it so that we can escort the goods to their destination as soon as possible. What do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.
"Brothers, kill them!"
The leading official was talking to Lin Xiaofei, while the other nine soldiers approached the carriage, preparing to search the goods. Suddenly, the little bully behind them shouted.
In an instant, *splat*, blood splattered!
The leading soldier next to Lin Xiaofei was stabbed in the chest by Chen Er, and then the other nine soldiers were killed at the same time!
"you..."
Lin Xiaofei was shocked and wanted to stop Chen Er, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as ten soldiers were killed, and then saw them quickly throw the soldiers' bodies into the woods on the side of the mountain road.
"Haha, thanks to Young Master Lin's conversation with that official, we were able to kill him so easily."
"Young Master Lin, please rest assured, we killed these people; it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be afraid."
Chen Er smiled and said.
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. The group of people, who had just looked tense, suddenly became somewhat excited. He knew they were bandits, probably used to killing people.
At the same time, he realized that the goods on the carriage were definitely not simple; otherwise, there would have been no need to kill anyone.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei said calmly:
"Well, the soldiers have already been killed by you, so I can't say anything more. Let's leave quickly while there are no other patrols around."
Before they knew it, a large caravan of wagons carrying goods gradually departed, and after traveling for more than two hours, they arrived at a desolate valley.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei saw Chen Er wave his hand behind him, and the carriage procession gradually slowed down and stopped. Then he saw the little bully behind him ride his horse to the front of the carriage procession.
Then, the little bully dismounted and shouted loudly into the valley:
"Fourth Master, we're here! Show yourself!"
The next second, a group of bandits rushed out from the woods in all directions of the valley and surrounded the little bully and his companions.
The leader, dressed in a white Taoist robe, led a group of strong and burly men as they walked over one after another.
"Did you bring the five hundred catties of dried healing herbs, one hundred catties of poisonous herbs, three hundred and fifty long knives, and three hundred and fifty longswords that I requested?"
Zhang Shuanghai called out as he walked.
"Of course I brought it, but what do you mean by this, Brother Zhang?"
The little bully shouted.
Immediately afterwards, his more than thirty men dismounted, drew long knives from the bottom of the carriage, and, each with a tense expression, assumed an attack stance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled, not expecting that there were a large number of weapons among the goods in the carriage.
He knew perfectly well that any large-scale arms transactions were strictly controlled by the government, which needed to know the buyers and sellers.
For example, the purchase of large quantities of weapons by some families in the town was controlled by the government and was subject to a purchase limit. Once it was discovered that a family had purchased too many weapons, they would be questioned, and if the reason was not sufficient, they would be severely punished.
"Fourth Master? Isn't that one of the leaders of Black Wind Stronghold?"
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the group of people behind Zhang Shuanghai and made a judgment in his mind.
The bandits of Black Wind Village.
Zhang Shuanghai was indeed one of the bandit leaders of Black Wind Village.
At this moment, he understood that ordinary people did not need to buy a large number of weapons. He guessed that they bought these weapons to strengthen the Black Wind Stronghold.
This left Lin Xiaofei with mixed feelings.
This made him think of something else: if the Black Wind Stronghold took these weapons and herbs, it would not only strengthen their power, but they would also use these weapons to fight against the bandits Zhang Shuhu had gathered. This would be disadvantageous for the group Zhang Shuhu had called upon.
"What is Young Master Liu's purpose in having me escort this cargo this time?"
Lin Xiaofei's mind raced, guessing that Liu Shaoneng was likely a member of Black Wind Stronghold. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he felt an urge to kill Liu Shaoneng.
If Liu Shao allowed him to escort these goods, it would be aiding and abetting evil, and he would be in trouble once people found out.
"What do you mean? Can't you see it?"
Zhang Shuanghai walked over slowly, a smile on his face, nodded in satisfaction, and said:
Move everything out.
Upon hearing this, his men immediately moved closer to the carriage, preparing to unload the goods from it.
"Brother Zhang, are you trying to double-cross me? Just because you outnumber me, you think you can take advantage of me, this little bully?"
I advise you to give me five thousand taels of silver, or don't blame me for being impolite.
The little bully shouted with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, the bully's gang was ready for battle.
"Haha, you're about to die, and you're still thinking about money. What a fool you are."
Seeing this, Zhang Shuanghai laughed heartily.
