Liu Yuhan walked towards the largest room in the back hall.
The door was locked, so I used my body to my advantage to get in.
Tsk tsk tsk… Even the chairs are made of tiger skin, take it away! The bed is all silk and satin. No, it’s disgusting!
I imitated Liu Shinan and rummaged around here and knocked there. I heard something strange next to the wardrobe, so I moved the wardrobe away and found a cellar!
Liu Yuhan took out a flashlight and went downstairs.
Wow! So many things! There are piles of leather goods, bows and weapons, and boxes. There are more than ten boxes. Collect them all! Swish, swish, swish... Put them all into the empty house.
After leaving the cellar, I moved the wardrobe back into its place, climbed out of the window and closed it.
I moved on to the kitchen. It was quite large, with a compartment for food. I hadn't looked closely last night, but there was quite a bit of food. Over twenty bags of white rice, I've collected them! Over thirty bags of white flour, I've collected them! Over fifty bags of brown rice, I've collected them! Over thirty bags of black flour, I've collected them! There were all sorts of dried goods, all neatly packed away. Dried vegetables, cured meat, cured chicken, cured hare, dried mushrooms, dried fish, I've collected them!
The four large water vats in the kitchen are almost empty, so put them away! All the good pots and pans are gone! They'll be left for the villagers to use later. There's a pile of firewood neatly stacked against the wall, too!
More than a dozen women who fainted on the ground were tied up.
Liu Yuhan walked out of the kitchen and headed towards Xu Fugui, Liu Neng, and the others. The old hunter was also kidnapping people with them.
Sitting in the main seat of the hall was a tall, bearded man. He was tied up and placed aside, awaiting the government office to investigate and convict him.
This has harmed many leaders, and even turning him into ashes would not satisfy my hatred!
The old hunter and Xu Fugui kidnapped the man while Liu Laizi found a rope and searched him. They put all the silver they found into a large cloth bag.
After working for half an hour, I finally finished it. Some of the ones who ate less had already woken up and were whimpering.
"Everyone's mouth is blocked, why don't you keep quiet?!" Liu Laizi kicked him. He dared to arrest his mother. This was outrageous!
Xu Fugui followed Liu Yuhan's advice and knocked the awakened person unconscious again. The fewer people who saw them, the better.
Liu Laizi reluctantly handed the cloth bag containing silver to Liu Yuhan.
Liu Yuhan weighed it and found it was very heavy, at least a few hundred taels.
Liu Yuhan took out 16 silver ingots, each weighing about 10 taels, and divided four among the four of them.
"This is what we worked so hard to find. You don't need to hand it over to the village chief. Just keep it and don't tell anyone. I will give the rest to the village chief. He will keep it for the public school or divide it up later. We don't care. Do you have any opinions?"
"We agree, right Fugui, Uncle Liu?" Liu Laizi immediately responded happily.
The old hunter and Xu Fugui nodded, and everyone agreed.
Liu Laizi and the others hurriedly put away the silver carefully. This was 40 taels! This was the foundation of their family's life.
Liu Yuhan said to them again.
"They must have an arsenal of weapons. We need to find it. The government officials may come later. We can take some for our own use."
"Leave this to me," Liu Laizi said. Liu Yuhan followed them.
She walked around the village, looking around and scanning anything useful into her space.
When the people from the government office came and saw the almost empty stronghold, they almost doubted their eyes!
This, this... this... except for a few broken machetes, is this village so poor?
The bandits had all taken the drug and passed out, and some were knocked unconscious just after waking up. Liu Yuhan didn't care what happened next.
In short, they did a great job, a great contribution to eliminating harm for the people.
………………
When Liu Shinan met the county magistrate, he told him about the stronghold and that he knew a way to the bandit stronghold. The county magistrate was very excited.
How many people had he lost to these bandits? His county yamen only had about 200 runners, and half of them were killed. He had to recruit new people recently.
The county magistrate gathered most of his men and followed Liu Shinan hurriedly towards the Wulong Mountains.
Near noon, the people from the government office who were hurried up the mountain encountered two groups of people who came to arrest people. A fight broke out between the two sides, but fortunately there were many people from the government office who subdued them.
The old hunter Xu Fugui went to find the villagers and asked them to lead the people to the place where the ox carts were hidden at the foot of the mountain and hide the people first.
Liu Laizi and Liu Yuhan stayed in the mountain village waiting for Liu Shinan.
Liu Yuhan has already told Liu Laizi that people from the government office will come to question him later. How should he respond?
They said a group of knights had drugged a bandit's den, kidnapped some people, and taken their belongings before leaving. They were only there to rescue the villagers, who had already hidden in the mountains, and they didn't know anything else.
When Liu Shinan and his gang arrived at the mountain, the county magistrate saw the tied-up bandit leader and became even more excited!
He has done a great deed, he has done a great deed. This man has been wanted in the capital for a long time!
After asking them about their situation in detail, Liu Laizi answered them one by one without any mistakes.
The county magistrate invited Liu Shinan and his group to the county government office in recognition of their meritorious service. The county government office would arrange accommodation for them to rest for a few days.
Liu Yuhan and others refused and told the county magistrate not to tell anyone that their villagers had been abducted to the mountains. They did not want the girls' reputation to be damaged because of this incident. The county magistrate agreed and expressed his understanding.
It’s better to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
It is still unknown whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, people who are buying people behind the scenes, and people who are forcing the strong men to do the work. These unknown factors are complicated, so ordinary people should not get too involved.
Seeing that they refused, the county magistrate didn't say much and took out the only 100 taels of silver note he had and gave it to Liu Shinan.
So the group took the bandits away. They searched the bandits' den for a long time but found nothing except a few broken swords. They probably thought the knights had robbed them.
