Then Duke Jing fell backwards, and the others fell down quickly after seeing this.
Ma Shusheng was stunned. It was only when Qiu Hanqing kicked him lightly that he came to his senses and released the flare on his waist.
After a while, the laughter of the bandit leader could be heard: "Master, you are indeed a good person. I saw you talking to those people just now and thought you would not have the chance to attack them."
"What's wrong with these two guys?" The bandit came up and saw Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu also lying on the ground. He couldn't help but kick them curiously.
When he got closer, he could smell the alcohol on them and couldn't help but curse with a smile: "Damn it, two bastards! I haven't even eaten yet, but they're already drunk."
"Fortunately, we have the master. If we rely on these two guys alone, I'm afraid it will be bad."
The bandit was not in a hurry to act. He first found a place to sit down, picked up his dagger, cut off a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth.
"It smells good, really good." The bandit praised.
Ma Shusheng pointed to the chili powder, cumin powder, and pepper salt on the side dish and said, "These are all exotic seasonings. They taste better and are more fragrant after adding them just now."
"Hmm? Let me try it! Hmm...it smells really good. Damn, these people really know how to enjoy themselves." The bandit leader tried it after hearing it, and it was true.
Others couldn't wait to try it, and some secretly looked at women like Nanmawei and Snawei.
Snawi was about to take action when the man was called away by another person.
This saved his life. If he really dared to touch Snawei with his dirty hands, she would definitely let him taste what corpse-transforming insect was.
After eating and drinking for a while, the bandit leader stood up and wanted to go and see Nan Mawei's appearance. But after taking two steps, his legs went weak.
"Hahaha, Boss, you haven't even seen the beauty yet, and your legs are already weak?"
"Hahaha, Boss, this is too embarrassing!"
"No!" As soon as these people finished laughing, they all felt their bodies suddenly become weak and then fell to the ground one after another.
Nanmawei sat up and dusted herself off.
"I'm sorry, Duke, I just can't stand the dirt on the ground."
Nanmawi spoke apologetically.
Duke Jing laughed in silence, then sat up with a smile: "It's okay, we still have to thank the Queen for her help."
The bandit leader opened his eyes wide as many insects crawled in front of him, giving him goosebumps all over his body.
When you hear Duke Jing call Nanmawei the Queen, anyone who is not a fool will know who he is talking about.
This is a poisonous insect from the Southern Region. The bandit leader was so scared that he started shaking all over.
"We will never dare to do it again, never again. Please, Lord, please spare our lives, please spare our lives, please."
"We shouldn't die..."
Duke Jing, possessed, stared at him, ignoring the poisonous insects on the ground, and said to the bandit leader, "How can you say such things against your conscience?"
"Are there not enough lives lost at your hands?"
After hearing what Duke Jing said, the bandit leader suddenly thought of something and glared at Ma Shusheng, only to see him standing aside.
"Ma Junsheng, I've been very kind to you. I took you in when you were homeless, but you betrayed me..."
"Betray and take me in?"
"You took my bride abducted to the mountains and murdered her. My father was beaten half to death and his legs were broken in an attempt to stop you. And you're telling me about betrayal?"
Ma Shusheng growled in resentment, and the bandit leader understood immediately after hearing this.
"This was all your plan, Ma Junsheng, you will not live happily ever after!"
"Not going to die a good death? Hahahaha, I don't know if I will not die a good death, but you definitely will not die a good death!"
Ma Shusheng laughed heartily, and as he laughed, tears began to flow.
"Pingniang, your useless husband has avenged you..." Nan Mawei couldn't help but tear up when she heard Ma Shusheng's sad voice.
Looking at the bandit leader glaring at Ma Shusheng with resentment, Nan Mawei kicked him angrily.
Then a tiny poisonous insect bit through his skin and burrowed into his body.
After a while, the bandit leader covered his chest and wailed in pain, rolling on the ground.
Duke Jing pretended not to see it.
"I'm afraid the Queen hasn't eaten enough just now. If you don't mind, would you like to eat some more?" Duke Jing made an invitation.
Nan Mawei nodded, sat down, picked up the bowl and clinked it with Duke Jing, and they started eating and drinking while chatting and laughing.
About half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
Following the Tianquecheng County Magistrate, he stumbled to the front of the Duke of Jing, with two yamen runners behind him holding down a beautiful woman.
"My Lord, I deserve to die. I was deceived by this woman and was forced to protect Wang Dazhu. I just found out that she is not Wang Dazhu's sister at all, but Wang Dazhu's woman."
"She was sent to my house to confuse me. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have protected bandits and committed such a mistake."
Duke Jing put down his cup and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Lin Xiangnan, right?"
"I am Lin Xiangnan." County Magistrate Lin responded tremblingly, his fat body shaking constantly.
"Write a letter to your superiors and ask them to come and judge you. For the rest of your life, you will stay in jail!"
"Has the Tianque Guardian come here yet?"
"I am here." The guarding general hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and Duke Jing looked at him.
The guard didn't dare to look Duke Jing in the eye. Duke Jing said calmly, "The next matters in Tianque City will be in your care for the time being."
"Yes." The guard responded quickly.
"Lan Yi, take the Tianque City guards to the mountain stronghold to see if there are any more victims. Return the items in the mountain stronghold's warehouse to the rightful owners."
"Scholar Ma, you've been in the village for a while, so you should know more about it. Come with us."
"Ma Junsheng is trying to make amends for his mistakes. He entered the stronghold out of revenge. After he entered, these bandits never committed any more murders. He should not be punished."
The guard quickly responded and said he understood.
Wei Lanyi took Qiu Hanqing and others to the mountain stronghold. Only some old, weak, women and children were left inside, most of whom were women who were abducted.
But some of the old people had stayed in the mountain stronghold for a long time, and some of the young bandits were even raised by them.
Knowing that the bandits had been arrested, some of them even wanted to fight to the death with Wei Lanyi and others.
It was also detained.
The rest were also mostly in a horrible state. Wei Lanyi was so angry looking at these women and children that her teeth were itching.
By the time we rescued and captured these people and sorted out the items in the warehouse, it was almost dawn.
Afterwards, Duke Jing and his entourage went to Tianque City, rested there for a day, and then set off again.
…
While Duke Jing and his men were resting, Qiu Yinong and his men also arrived at the second city after arriving in Xirong.
The city is named Yaoguang City, which is named after a mineral called Yaoguang Stone.
Yaoguang Stone can glow, but it is very fragile and has no use other than for lighting and decoration.
There are such ores everywhere in the city, large and small.
During the day, they are just normal white stones, but at night they emit white light.
