After everyone had calmed down from their run, Si Cheng led them into the village, but left a few people at the village entrance to guard it.
Upon arriving at the large house, Si Cheng gestured for Liu Jun to lead his men to sneak past from one side, while he himself went around in a large circle to the back of the bald man.
Jing waited until the appointed time, then Si Cheng and Liu Jun acted together, taking them down before they could even react.
As they stormed into the house, the people inside were abusing the villagers, and they all stared in shock at the doorway.
Before they could even react, Si Cheng rushed straight to the knife master and stomped him to the ground in a few moves, without even having to use his weapon.
Seeing their leader get dealt with so easily, some people tried to rush out the door, but they were all stopped.
"Who are you people? Let me go right now, or my brother will come and deal with you later." Even with Dao Ye being trampled on the ground, he still shouted. He tried his best to turn around, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
Soon everyone had subdued all the bandits, and the villagers of Yancun realized that they had been rescued, but they didn't know what these people's purpose was.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm one of our own! Tell them to let me go!" Zheng Hao was currently being pinned down by Yun Qiao, a machete held to his neck, and he was too terrified to move. He could feel his hand trembling uncontrollably as he gripped the machete, unsure whether it was from fear or excitement.
If Yun Qiao knew he was scared, she would tell him that he was excited, because he knew that his two uncles had practically pushed him in front of the monkey to get this opportunity.
“He’s not from our village; he’s in cahoots with these people.” The people of Yan Village hated him to death at this point, so how could they possibly plead for him?
"I was wrong. Please, for the sake of us sharing the same ancestor, can you ask them to forgive me?"
"You ungrateful wretch! Don't you remember how it was all these villagers who raised you when your family was in trouble? We never expected you to bring outsiders to take over our village. The village chief said before that he would expel you from the village. You have nothing to do with us now." The women who had been untied saw the wounds on their husbands' bodies and wanted nothing more than to bite them.
The village chief of Yancun stopped their cursing. He looked directly at Sicheng, who was stepping on Daoye. He had just seen this young man lead his men in and knock Daoye to the ground.
"Who are you people? What is your purpose in coming here?"
“I have to say something interesting about you. Didn’t you see we came here to rescue you?” Ma Donglai, who was tying up Zheng Hao with a rope, stopped and looked at the village chief of Yancun when he heard this.
Zheng Hao glanced at the cleaver still trembling on his neck and really wanted to shout, "Tie me up quickly! If this cleaver keeps shaking like this, I might really lose my life!"
Si Cheng glanced at Ma Donglai, who was so frightened that he quickly picked up the rope and continued working, not daring to say anything more.
"Hello! We are farmers from the neighboring province X. Because of the salt shortage everywhere, we came here to exchange for some table salt." Si Cheng explained the purpose of his group in just a few words.
Upon hearing that they had come to exchange salt, Village Chief Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The village was really in dire need of repairs. Looking at the wounded people all over the place, he wondered where he could find so many medicines to treat their injuries. He really wanted to go up and kick them a few times.
"Do you have any accomplices?" Si Cheng applied a little force with his foot, causing Dao Ye to scream in pain.
"No, they're all here." Seeing that the brothers he brought were trapped, Dao Ye dared not shout anymore and obediently lay on the ground, no longer daring to struggle.
"With your cowardly behavior, instead of trying to be decent human beings, you're thinking of becoming mountain kings. I don't know where you get your confidence from?" Ma Donglai had just finished tying up Zheng Hao and was about to tie up Dao Ye with the rope when he heard his reply. He couldn't help but despise him. This coward was even worse than the previous Wolf Brother.
"Do you know where they came from, and do they have any other accomplices?" Si Cheng asked the village chief of Yan Village after seeing that all the bandits were tied up.
"We've only heard of these people; we'll have to ask Zheng Hao for more details, since he's been in contact with them for a while." Village Chief Zheng didn't really know much about them, but since Zheng Hao was able to lure them over, it meant he'd been colluding with them for some time.
Si Cheng turned to look at Zheng Hao, who was lying on the ground trembling. Behind him was Yun Qiao, who was staring intently at him with a machete. Seeing that Yun Qiao was still excitedly shaking the machete in his hand, Si Cheng signaled to Ma Donglai, who was standing next to him, to take him out and calm him down.
"Tell me about the situation of Master Dao and his group."
"I only know that Dao Ye and his gang are from a gang in the city. As for whether he has any other big brothers above him, I don't know." Zheng Hao was filled with regret at this moment. If he had known that Dao Ye and his gang were so unreliable, he would never have helped them deal with the village.
"You should interrogate them all. If they have other accomplices, your village will be in danger," Si Cheng reminded the village chief of Yan Village.
"I am the village chief of this Zhengjia Village, and my surname is Zheng." Seeing that the other party still didn't know how to address him, Village Chief Zheng quickly introduced himself.
"My name is Si Cheng, and I'm the leader of our team. I've brought villagers from several villages here to exchange for some salt." Si Cheng thought that he might have to deal with the salt for a long time to come, so it was better for the salt villages to be under the control of Village Chief Zheng and his team.
"Ah Jiang, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother." Just as they were trying to get to know each other, a startled cry rang out.
"What should we do? Is there a doctor? Help!" Ajiang's mother cried out in desperation.
At this moment, Village Chief Zheng couldn't care less about Si Cheng and the others, and quickly ran towards the sound.
"Sister-in-law! Ah Jiang, what's wrong?"
"I don't know either. He was just telling me he was fine, and then suddenly he went limp." Ajiang's mother held his head and cried softly.
"Isn't there a doctor here?" Si Cheng asked curiously after they had been calling for so long without seeing anyone come over.
"Where are the doctors now? Our village doesn't even have medicine. I don't know what to do with so many people." After saying that, Village Chief Zheng squatted down, holding his head and pulling at his hair.
“Sun Shaofeng, go and lead the team into the village.” After saying this, he turned to Village Chief Zheng and said, “We have more than a thousand people with us this time. There are doctors and a lot of medicine in the team. You can trade salt with them later.”
Upon hearing that there were doctors and medicines, Village Chief Zheng stood up excitedly. However, he forgot that his body was also covered in wounds, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. It was Si Cheng who helped him up.
