Lin Wanwan raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, "Lin Jiu, send them to the county government office and tell the county magistrate what he thinks. Go and come back quickly, don't delay."
Lin Jiu nodded and immediately turned around to look for a carriage.
He asked someone to call the head of the village and told him what had happened. The head of the village was shocked and thought of many countermeasures with Lin Wanwan.
"Wan girl, these bandits are very vicious! I'm just worried that the people in our village will not be able to defeat them!"
Lin Wanwan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There are a lot of people in the bandit village. The people in our village alone are totally no match for them. It would be great if the government could help."
"Alas, the government may not be able to spare the manpower to suppress the bandits. Let's wait for Lin Jiu to come back and hear what he has to say."
In the afternoon, Lin Jiu came back with twenty or thirty people. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Gao was also among them in disguise.
Lin Wanwan hurried forward and asked in a low voice: "Sir, why are you here too?"
"Oh! It's a long story!" County Magistrate Gao sighed heavily.
"A few days ago, those bandits looted and plundered several villages. I sent people to encircle and suppress them several times, but they returned empty-handed every time! I suspected that they had an insider in the county government, so I lied and said that I went to other counties to invite people."
"Inside help? Are the people you brought with you reliable?"
County Magistrate Gao nodded and said, "They are all guards of my mansion. When your people went to look for me today, they were secretly stopped by Liu Zhubu, so no one else knew about it."
Only then did Lin Wanwan breathe a sigh of relief.
He brought them back home to continue the discussion and asked someone to tidy up the courtyard.
County Magistrate Gao took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth and continued, "I also arranged two insiders in the Hutou Village before, who can pass on some false information to them."
Shen Mo said, "Sir, I have been following the investigation at the entrance of the village. I saw a few unfamiliar people and have asked people to keep a close eye on them. I believe those bandits will make a big move in the next two days!"
When the village head heard this, he became even more panicked!
"Sir! Do you have any good solution?"
County Magistrate Gao shook his head and said, "We don't have enough manpower right now to destroy the bandits' hideouts. If they really come, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them."
Lin Wanwan turned to look at Shen Mo and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"We don't have enough manpower, and we can't attack them, so we can ask for help from the inside. For example, we can set up a trap, lure them to a certain place, and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Lin Wanwan also nodded continuously, and continued his words, "Sir, Shen Mo's idea is very good! We can lure the enemy deep into our territory! Let everyone in the village hide in the mountains, and put laxatives or knockout drugs in the wells and food. Then we can catch the turtle in the jar without any effort?"
The county magistrate's eyes lit up and he thought this was a very good idea.
"Well, how can we get them to eat the food with the medicine in it?"
"Sir, let's do this..."
Inside Hutou Village, a group of bandits were drinking and having fun, with naked women beside them pouring wine and serving food. These women were robbed from various villages. Some of those with strong personalities were tortured to death, and the rest had numb and empty eyes, like walking corpses.
The boss, Sun Youhu, was drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms, his hands wandering dishonestly on her body, and he was saying some obscene words, which made the beautiful woman giggle softly.
At this moment, a spy came running from outside and shouted loudly: "Boss! The two spies we sent over were captured by Linjia Village! Wang Yang and the others must have confessed! The people in Linjia Village have started to transfer people with their belongings!"
"What! Two pieces of trash!" Sun Youhu's face was ferocious. He pushed the beauty in his arms away, his eyes were as big as copper bells!
He turned to look at the master sitting below him, panting and asking, "They all ran away, do we still need to go?"
This lawyer looked gentle and his beard was neatly groomed, but his eyes revealed a bit of viciousness.
"Boss, those villagers are not worth mentioning. What's important is the workshops in Linjia Village. They will definitely not abandon the workshops. If we control them, won't we have a lot of money?"
