He thought to himself, if it were daytime instead of night, he wondered if the female bandits would still have the courage to say such things if they saw that it was Zhu Yunwen's group again.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen is not in a hurry to reveal his identity. For some reason, every time he encounters this female bandit and hears her serious yet somewhat amusing tone, he can't help but want to speak up and tease her a bit.
So Zhu Yunwen was about to speak when Zhao Qingzhu, who was standing beside him, said with some confusion:
"Weren't they going down the mountain to get sweet potato and potato seeds according to Grandpa Sun's plan? Why do they seem to be carrying a lot of things in their bags?"
"Don't you find it troublesome to transport the sweet potato and potato seeds later? Why are you adding to your burden?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen revealed a look of surprise. He carefully examined the carriages behind the bandits and found various pots, pans, clothes, daily necessities, and all sorts of other odds and ends.
This isn't about going down to do bad things; it's clearly about preparing to move!
So Zhu Yunwen asked:
Where are you going with all this stuff?
The female bandit said directly, "We're moving. Wait, no, why do you care what we're doing? We're bandits, are we obligated to explain ourselves to you?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.
Moving? According to the information obtained by the Imperial Guard, Old Sun wrote a letter to a middle-aged fat man, asking him to contact these mountain bandits.
Let these bandits do the digging of sweet potato and potato seeds again, so that they can become scapegoats for Old Man Sun and the beggars.
This led them to the end of the trail with the bandits, clearing Sun Lao and his group of suspicion.
But now these bandits are saying they're moving, which has completely baffled Zhu Yunwen.
Then Zhu Yunwen said again:
"Why are you moving? Is business not good here, so you're going to move somewhere else to continue robbing?"
Upon hearing this, the female bandit sighed and said:
"Yeah, we're planning to move to another place and continue being bandits... Why should I explain to you? Didn't I already say we're robbing? Kid, leave all your valuables behind."
Zhu Yunwen smiled:
"We have plenty of money on us, how much do you want?"
The female bandit hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and said:
"Since there are quite a few of you, about ten, I'll just rob you of ten taels of silver!"
Zhu Yunwen immediately shook his head and said:
"no!"
The bandit angrily said:
Why not?
Zhu Yunwen said earnestly:
"Ten taels of silver is too little. You bandits have robbed us so many times, and you only take ten taels of silver? That's not fair."
The female bandit was also dumbfounded. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Although she didn't have much experience in robbery, she had never heard of someone complaining that the bandits were asking for too little.
But this seemed like a good thing, so the female bandit said:
"Then how much silver do you want?"
"It should be at least a thousand taels of silver, we're worth that price."
Zhu Yunwen spoke with great conviction.
However, the female bandit was startled and opened her mouth wide, saying:
"One thousand taels of silver? That much? Isn't that a bit too much? We feel guilty about taking so much..."
