Just as the people from Sujia Village were gradually approaching the simple thatched houses, Ermaizi and another bandit who stayed behind in the thieves' den also noticed the movement.
The two of them were originally lazily leaning against the thatched hut, sitting or lying, enjoying this moment of leisure. After all, a large group of people had gone out to rob, and the two of them were left behind to guard the nest, so they felt quite comfortable.
But when they saw the people from Sujia Village coming towards them aggressively, Ermazi and the bandit immediately became alert.
Er Mazi was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Who are you?"
The voice was sharp with nervousness, echoing off the silent and still mountainside with a hint of bravado.
In Sujia Village, Dahu and Liuzi relaxed immediately when they saw that there were only two or three kittens in the den of thieves, thinking that it would be an easy task to catch them.
Before the village chief could say anything, Dahu and Liuzi looked at each other and immediately rushed towards Ermazi and the other man like tigers pouncing on their prey.
Da Hu was a burly man. He took a few steps to reach Er Mazi. Without saying a word, he swung his fist and hit Er Mazi in the face.
The punch was so powerful that Ermazi had no time to dodge. With a "bang", he was knocked backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Blood immediately flowed from his nose and he was dizzy.
Liuzi was also not vague. Facing another bandit, he rushed forward and kicked the bandit in the stomach.
The bandit screamed "Ouch", covered his stomach and bent over. Liuzi then punched him on the back of the head again. The bandit fell to the ground with a "thump" and fainted without even a groan.
In just the blink of an eye, Ermazi and his companion were knocked to the ground by Dahu and Liuzi cleanly and neatly.
Da Hu and Liu Zi were really excited at this moment. They winked at the village chief with a smug look, as if saying, "Village chief, look, this is too easy. These two dare to make such a fuss!"
Da Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the exertion and asked loudly to the village chief, "Village chief, are you going to get rid of these two?"
There was a hint of impatience in his tone, as if he was waiting for the village chief's order to completely get rid of the two bandits.
At this time, Su Wencheng saw this and rushed forward, stretched out his hands and stopped the two of them.
Su Wencheng frowned and said seriously, "Don't be impatient yet. Let's find out the layout of this den of thieves and whether they have any backup plans first.
If we get rid of them now, we won't know anything. What if there are other traps in this den of thieves, or they have other accomplices hiding, then we will be at a disadvantage. So it is better to keep them alive and give them a thorough trial first."
After hearing what Su Wencheng said, Dahu and Liuzi came to their senses and realized that they were indeed a little impulsive.
They both scratched their heads, looked at the village chief somewhat embarrassedly, and then nodded, indicating that they understood what Su Wencheng meant.
"Listen to Wencheng." After a moment of thought, the village chief waved to Dahu and Liuzi.
After hearing what the village chief said, Dahu and Liuzi loosened their hands that were tightly pressing on Ermazi and the other man, and took two steps back. However, their eyes were still fixed on him, with a warning in their eyes, as if if he made the slightest movement, they would pounce on him again and give him a severe lesson.
Seeing this, Su Wencheng took a step forward, staring at Ermazi with a sharp gaze, and said sternly, "Tell me, who else is here besides you?"
Ermazi was beaten black and blue at this moment, and his face was full of fear.
He raised his head with great effort and looked at the ferocious-looking people from Sujia Village in front of him. His heart skipped a beat and he realized that his elder brother and his team who had gone out to rob would definitely not come back. Now that he was in the hands of this group of people, if he dared to hide anything, his end would probably be even more miserable.
Er Mazi didn't dare to hide anything anymore and trembled as he said, "Here... here are only the two of us, and... and a few maids in the kitchen, who are responsible for cooking for us on weekdays. And... and there are a few women locked up in the house, all of whom were abducted from outside by Big Brother and his men. That's... that's all, there really is no one else."
After hearing Ermazi's explanation, everyone in Sujia Village looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this group of evil bandits has been eliminated. They were worried before whether there might be some powerful accomplices hiding in this den of thieves, or whether there might be some sinister back-up plans. Now, after hearing what Er Mazi said, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and they don't have to worry anymore.
Su Wenjun patted his chest carelessly and grinned, "Hey, I told you, these bandits, what can they do? We cleaned them up!"
After hearing this, everyone smiled with relief. After all, after experiencing such a thrilling encounter, being able to have such a satisfactory result was a blessing in disguise.
Su Wencheng stared at Ermazi with a sharp gaze. His tone was serious and unquestionable as he continued, "Where are the grain and gold and silver here? You'd better tell me the truth. If you dare to lie, you'll be in trouble!"
Ermazi's face was full of decadence at this moment, and his eyes were filled with despair and fear.
He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the room in the corner. His voice trembled as he said, "That...that's the warehouse. The grain and gold and silver are all stored there. I...I'm not lying. Please forgive me..."
After hearing this, Su Wencheng immediately winked at Datou and Dazhuang.
Datou and Dazhuang understood what he meant, and without saying a word, they ran towards the house.
When they arrived at the door, Datou and Dazhuang first looked around vigilantly, then carefully reached out and slowly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the two men couldn't wait to look into the room and found that there were just as Ermazi said, with several sacks of grain and a large box next to it, which must be for money.
Datou and Dazhuang didn't dare to delay. After a quick check, they turned around and ran towards where everyone was.
They shouted, "There is indeed food in the house, but it's very little, only about two or three hundred pounds!"
The voice contained a hint of joy at finding food, but also a hint of disappointment at the small amount of food.
