After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 111

Chapter 111 The mob

The county magistrate asked: "Qin Yao, when are you going to set out to capture the leader of the bandit?"

Qin Yao can set out at any time just to chop off the heads of thieves, but as a commoner, she has been suffering from bandits for a long time!

“I dare to ask, my lord, do you just want the leader of the bandits or do you want to eradicate this group of horse bandits and prevent future troubles forever?”

Facing Qin Yao's question, the county magistrate paused for a moment before asking: "If you want to eradicate the weeds, what's your plan?"

 A clever idea?

Qin Yao lowered her head and smiled lightly. When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of murderous intent, "I have no clever plan, I only have martial arts to defeat it with violence!"

This time, as long as there is a chance, she will deal with the threat of horse bandits in advance, so as not to have to worry about what happened last year on New Year's Eve this year.

The county magistrate frowned when he heard Qin Yao's loud tone, "You can break it with violence. You are the only one. How can you break it?"

He carefully held up the portrait and asked the painter, "Is this the portrait of me?"

 Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, I understand, play conservatively, first look at the chances of winning, and then take advantage of whichever side has a greater chance of winning. There is really no need to take any risks.

Several officers and soldiers looked unhappy, but they were not angry that Qin Yao looked down on him so much, so they all sneered:

“That gang of horse bandits numbered one hundred, and the county's officers and soldiers combined were only thirty-six. Without the support of the city, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone!”

 If only the bandit leader is killed, the people will be satisfied and the local gangsters will be favored. There will be room for maneuver in the remaining two years.

Horse bandits use the mountains to hide their traces. Even if they are occasionally exposed, it is only a small branch. The bandit leader cannot be subjugated and there is a constant stream of small robbers. How to get rid of them?

At the beginning of the year, the military camp of the state capital was also alarmed, but after all, it was not a matter within the jurisdiction of the other party. Moreover, there was an inexplicable division of interests between the state capital and the county, and between the civil and military officials.

Qin Yao nodded. She understood. She confirmed again: "If I take back the thief's head, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver, right?"

The government office can only wait for the ink to melt before attaching new ones, waiting for a slim hope.

There is also the implication of what the master said. If you want to act quickly, there will be someone inside who will pass on the news.

The master then left, and there were only a few officers and soldiers left in the hall, staring at each other with Qin Yao.

  But for the people of Kaiyang County, those days were difficult.

 In the end, you actually told him to break it with violence?

How come they think "this" is feasible?

The master coughed twice and said uncomfortably: "It's about 60 or 70% similar."

 Until Qin Yao early in the morning, he did not hesitate to reveal the reward announcement!

Qin Yao waited for a full hour before the county magistrate and the master came back.

They both nodded, and Qin Yao felt relieved. She opened the portrait and looked at it again. All she could see was that he was a fierce-looking man. He didn't know if he could match the real person.

Qin Yao raised the reward notice in her hand and said, "I've accepted the reward. You just need to cooperate with me to contain the escaped bandits."

What do those horse bandits have?

 Except for the respectable ones who have horses and good swords, the rest are just a pile of scrap metal. Some of them can't be scraped together. They just use sickles, hoes and clubs. Once their willpower is broken, they are no match for the officers and soldiers.

Qin Yao stood up, clasped her fists and saluted, looked up at the two of them, waiting for a reply.

The county magistrate pondered for a moment, then stood up and pointed to the Taishi chair next to him, "You sit down first, I will come back when I go."

Qin Yao waited quietly without any fluctuation in her heart.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but after the reward announcement was issued, no one dared to reveal the list.

Now, she said that she wanted to eliminate the root cause. The county magistrate's heart was surging, but his face was very serious. He just wanted to hear whether the method she said was reliable.

"It's just a rabble." Qin Yao retorted: "What's there to be afraid of a hundred rabble? Capture the leader first. Without the leader, they can't unite, so they scatter and escape. Thirty-six people from the government, equipped with weapons and armor, go out one by one. How difficult is it to break it?”

 But at the same time, it also cut off many people's financial paths and blocked many people's interests. It is said that the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake, and I am afraid that life will be difficult for the remaining two years.

The master then said: "If you want to act, you should do it as early as possible, lest the horse bandits get the news and go into the deep mountains again, and they won't be able to catch a single hair by then."

As long as the situation does not go to the extreme and the public resentment does not reach its peak, he, the magistrate of Kaiyang County, is powerless.

Qin Yao looked at the back of the county magistrate as he hurriedly left, sarcastically said that it was really interesting, and sat down on the chair.

She asked loudly: "Isn't there a man of blood in this county government who is willing to go with me to kill that abominable horse bandit?"

"There are many of you, and once you act, you will be exposed. The horse bandits will know about it and move ahead of time. So I will take the lead alone and capture the enemy leader first. We will cooperate with each other inside and outside to try to avoid future troubles this time. What do you think, Mr. County Magistrate?" Qin Yao asked politely.

“The leader of the thieves doesn't show up easily, and he is protected by three heavenly kings. He can't get close at all. It's not easy to take the head off his neck.”

Having failed to put pressure on the government, they have now formed a partnership with the Escort Bureau. This Escort Agency thrives if there are bandits, and will perish if there are no bandits. Within the scope of their business, the more bandits there are, the higher their profits will be. On the contrary, a tacit understanding has been secretly formed.

They were also very uneasy. They wanted to get rid of the disaster and become heroes, but they were also afraid that their heroic souls would be ruined. They were very conflicted.

 She is the only one?

Qin Yao smiled contemptuously and looked around. There were five or six officers and soldiers present. The rest were either guarding the city gate or napping in the empty cells.

Qin Yao quickly calculated in her mind and added: "As soon as I succeed, I will send out a signal. When you see the signal, all of you will be dispatched. Let's work together to kill all these hateful horse bandits!"

After all, he is a foreigner. He has only been in office for one year and will not leave for another two years. He must make the trade-off between merit and stability.

The county magistrate first asked: "What do you need? Your Majesty has an order. If you can really capture the bandit leader, all the officers and soldiers in the county will fully cooperate with you to wipe out the horse bandits!"

 Having eliminated the horse bandits, political achievements and people's support will be improved.

 He wants to go to the county magistrate to see what he thinks.

 And what about the merchants who were robbed?

If the trouble cannot be eradicated this time, then she will have a little trouble in the future.

 In the end, there was no other way. Seeing that these horse bandits were getting more and more arrogant, they came up with the idea of ​​issuing a reward announcement, hoping that private experts would go out to solve the problem.

 There are weapons and armors. I dare not say that one is better than three, but it is still no problem to be better than two.

So many officers and soldiers were unable to deal with the horse bandits who were astonishingly invisible.

  She is an ordinary citizen anyway, so she can't lose anything.

However, if you think about it calmly, it is still very difficult. One of them said seriously:

 Actually, none of them have actually seen the appearance of the bandit leader. They all listened to the descriptions of the captured gangsters and made up the portraits.

 Chin Yao: "."

 Forget it, in order to be correct, I will chop off a few more heads and come back to make a deal, and one of them will be correct!
