Zhao Ji did not act rashly, but just followed the group of negotiators quietly.

After sorting out the information that had been sent back previously, Zhao Ji always felt that this bandit's nest was a bit too formal.

They don't look like bandits, but rather like a well-trained and organized team.

Zhao Ji is not stupid. In today's world, if there is such a well-trained team, there must be someone supporting them with a purpose behind the scenes. At the same time, to be able to do so on such a large scale, the person behind the scenes must have transferred a lot of assets.

Being able to invest so much, one must want a lot in return.

Zhao Ji had a vague idea in his mind, but before he actually met these people, Zhao Ji had no way of being sure.

Before entering the mountain village, the people on the village put blindfolds on everyone on Zhao Ji's side.

It is called an eye mask, but it is actually just a piece of black cloth covering the eyes.

Zhao Ji practiced the innate skills, and the moment that person touched him, he could hear that person's inner voice.

So when Zhao Ji was covered with a black cloth, he heard this: "Another group of fat sheep came. How could anyone be so stupid as to think that we would spit out what we have eaten?"

"If we have the money from these people, it will be enough to run the village for half a year or a year. Then we can update the weapons of the brothers."

Unfortunately, the black cloth was covered too quickly, so Zhao Ji didn't hear more.

This road is actually not far, but it has many twists and turns and seems to be quite complicated.

Zhao Ji guessed that in order to better defend themselves, the people in the village must have built a maze outside the village to prevent outsiders from coming in.

The moment the black cloth was taken off, a ray of sunlight shone in, and Zhao Ji felt it was slightly dazzling.

After finally getting used to it, Zhao Ji looked at the surroundings. It seemed to be a shabby hut.

This shabby hut was not very big, but it was crowded with more than twenty people.

At this time, a burly and fierce-looking man walked out. He had a full beard, eyes like green beans, and a mouth full of big yellow teeth.

He looks like a sloppy and fierce person.

He was the one sent out from the mountain stronghold, but he was not sent here to wait for the roughnecks to come and negotiate.

"Since you have entered our village, you must follow our village's rules and take off all the weapons you are carrying!"

Everyone on Zhao Ji's side glared angrily. From that moment on, Zhao Ji and his friends truly realized that these people really had no intention of negotiating.

I'm afraid the reason why he brought these people here is just to threaten us, or he has other purposes. Anyway, the purpose is definitely not to negotiate and get the things back.

The meat buns used to beat the dog must have been swallowed by them long ago.

However, Zhao Ji was still very interested in these people's other purposes.

Anyway, if the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. Zhao Ji wanted to see what the purpose of these people gathering together was.

You have to know that the disaster relief silver all has official seals on it. Once this silver is circulated, is it possible to trace where it came from?

But these people were not afraid at all and took it for themselves.

Zhao Ji guessed that it was probably because these people had a furnace privately and melted all the silver and started over.

This would also explain why they swallowed up the money so arrogantly.

However, under the current laws of the Celestial Empire, such things are not allowed. Once discovered, it is a serious crime punishable by death.

If he could get evidence in this regard this time, Zhao Ji would just give an order and take his men to destroy this bandit's lair.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t find out. The reason why Zhao Ji is patient and wasting time here is simply because he wants to know who is behind it.

Whether he finds out or not, Zhao Ji will always find a way to wipe out this bandit's den.

Obviously, the people in these bandit dens don’t know that they have offended the evil spirit.

Originally, the people on Zhao Ji's side wanted to struggle.

"Since there is such a rule here, we can only abide by it. This is also our sincerity!"

Zhao Ji spoke first.

After hearing what Zhao Ji said, these people quieted down one by one.

After all, Zhao Ji's identity was only kept secret from these bandits. In essence, everyone knew that Zhao Ji was the real leader.

The sturdy bearded man saw that everyone was cooperative, and heard Zhao Ji's words that put him in a low position, so he looked a little arrogant and drank even more.

"Hurry up! If everyone here was as slow as you, we would have been thrown into the mountains to feed the tigers!"

The bearded man kept chattering, and Zhao Ji was using his eyes to comfort his people.

After these people completed the body search, they slowly brought Zhao Ji and others over.

Passing through the thatched house, Zhao Ji discovered that these people had built their village in the lower part of the valley.

But it is not a completely low place. This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides. If you just look at it from the mountain, you can't easily find this place.

Moreover, these villages were built very well, and in the distance one could seem to hear the bandits' shouts of training.

Everything shows that these bandits are well-trained and are not a mob at all.

After discovering these doubts, Zhao Ji had an idea in his mind!

The subsequent negotiations were also within Zhao Ji's psychological expectations.

"These things belong to our Black Wind Village. If you want to take them from us, it's impossible. Besides, our Black Wind Village is here, and no one else can bully these people. It's normal for the court to give us something back now!"

Even though Zhao Ji and the others had prepared themselves mentally, they still laughed out of anger when they heard such shameless words.

It seems that the Black Wind Village has become truly shameless.

"So, you must know that this batch of silver was allocated by the court. Then you should also know that the people in this town have no place to live because of the earth dragon. If you take away all the silver and supplies, wouldn't that put these people to death?"

The people on Zhao Ji's side were not pushovers either, and they directly pointed out the source of the silver.

"Didn't you hear what our boss said just now? How long have we been guarding here and protecting these people? What's wrong with collecting some things?"

"The reason I let you guys in today is to tell you not to have those dreams anymore."
