After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Going deep alone

 Qin Yao borrowed a fast horse from the county station, and asked the officers and soldiers for two flares - soaring firecrackers, which would fly into the sky when lit, making a red light and loud noise.

 Let the county magistrate prepare manpower, and in the evening, taking advantage of the last ray of sunset, head to Yuhua Mountain where the horse bandits are now entrenched, and wait for her action signal.

Logically speaking, everyone in the government office would not join in the "mischief" like this, but before Qin Yao left, she raised the stone lion at the gate of the government office with one hand.

The scene was so shocking for a moment that all the officers and soldiers in the yamen were in a state of panic. They just wanted to follow her immediately, throw their heads and blood, and kill the horse bandits without leaving a trace!

Qin Yao rode a fast horse all the way out of the city. Instead of going to Yuhua Mountain, she returned home.

It takes five hours to walk and only one and a half hours to get there on horseback. Qin Yao was so envious that she secretly decided to buy a fast horse to facilitate travel when she got one hundred taels of silver.

She suddenly came back and rode a horse through the village, attracting the attention of the villagers in Liujia Village.

Jin Bao, who was playing by the village well, immediately ran home, "Grandma, Grandpa! My third aunt is back on horseback!"

 They were quite rampant and did not set any checkpoints along the way.

This was a relatively good result. Unfortunately, the leader of the horse bandits suddenly became interested and led his troops around to harass the officers and soldiers. A **** battle was inevitable.

This place is located in the south of Kaiyang County. It is a mountaintop in a mountain range. There is only one normal entrance, and there are cliffs on the back, making it impossible to climb.

However, the stepmother will be home a few days later, and they have to continue to trouble the old house.

 In fact, this is not the case. This stronghold is stinky and looks like a primitive tribe of savages.

Mrs. Zhang also thought about this, sighed, and asked the four brothers and sisters to come home for dinner in the evening after collecting the money box from the mill. In the evening, they continued to arrange for their youngest son to go to Qin Yao's house to look after the four children.

However, in the evening, it was the time for dinner, so Qin Yao always slacked off a bit, so Qin Yao bypassed the horse bandits on lookout and entered the mountain from the side of Yuhua Mountain.

Erlang woke up a little and heard one more sentence: "Aniang said she made a lot of money."

They are all desperadoes, how can they be so particular.

“Master, grandma! Third aunt rode away again!”

However, he knew one thing clearly, that is, he took the weapon and went out. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that the matter was not simple.

It wasn't until Zhang's mother-in-law and Jinbao came over to inquire that it suddenly dawned on her that the stepmother was really back.

 Thinking again that Qin Yao was sending Liu Ji to register at the city academy, he was worried that Liu Ji's enrollment would not go smoothly, so he hurried over to ask about the situation.

 Among the teams going down the mountain on the same day, the team with the least gain will be punished.

There is a natural cave here, and dozens of tree nests are built around the cave.

Qin Yao came in a hurry and left in a hurry. She came home, got her weapons, told the four brothers and sisters of Dalang in the water mill, hit the horse and left.

 Some people cannot come back after going down the mountain, but most can return with loot.

 On the contrary, because the officers and soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and were not fully prepared, they had to retreat after being besieged for up to three days.

After the report, she turned around and headed to her third uncle's house. As soon as she ran to the river, she saw Qin Yao running out on horseback with her bow, arrows and sword.

Now that Qin Yao is alone, she doesn't have so many worries.

Several waves of small teams that went down the mountain today have all returned now. The horses are limited and for the sake of efficiency, they cannot go out at full strength, so they come in small teams.

 There are horse bandits on the mountain roads and valley entrances to Yuhua Mountain. They occupy a high position and can easily detect the intruders.

 Do you think the life of the horse bandits will be easy?

When Qin Yao arrived, the guards were lighting a fire in the shed to boil water for cooking. The food they ate were two snatched chickens. The water was boiled and the two plucked hens were put in to cook without any treatment at all.

In this way, the officers and soldiers can arrive at the mountain stronghold at dawn, unaffected by the night and terrain, and exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

 According to her plan, she quickly found the bandit leader and then took action at dawn.

 Taking weapons, he went straight to Yuhuashan.

 At the outskirts of the stronghold, a two-meter-high fence was built with wooden stakes according to the mountains on both sides.

I was really bored, so I asked the boss for a handful of money and went down the mountain to find some fun in a brothel.

 At dusk, Qin Yao had already dived to the back of Yuhua Mountain.

 “What kind of big money?” He's heart was agitated. What kind of money can ordinary people earn? Isn't it bad?

Mr. Zhang glared at Mr. He and told him not to talk nonsense.

 But Dalang didn't say anything about it, and also winked at his younger brothers and sisters, not allowing them to say anything.

The smell of horse manure, human feces and urine, and the smell of rotten food all mixed together to form a very offensive smell. Qin Yao almost fainted when she stepped into it.

 Zhang and He were about to go out for a look. When they heard this, they were both stunned, thinking, what is his third aunt doing?

 Because water is not very convenient here, if you want to clean your internal organs, you have to walk dozens of meters into the mountains to get water.

"Why do you, my mother-in-law, come and go, but what happened in the city?" Mrs. Zhang asked with concern.

Dalang shook his head and said he didn't know clearly.

 Outside the fence, there is a tree shed on each side to protect the personnel standing guard from the scorching sun.

 So, every time officers and soldiers want to encircle and suppress, their whereabouts will be exposed in advance. The horse bandits used the entire mountain range as cover. Once they entered the depths of the mountain range, they would not be found at all.

The gentlemen went to get stones to make millstones, and they were the only female relatives at home.

 The location of the cottage is actually easy to judge. There are so many people who always need to eat and drink, and it will not be too far from the water source.

Qin Yao didn't expect that she had something big to do today because of the sudden incident. She could only wait until she came back later to explain.

 The villain ran home less than five minutes after leaving and reported to everyone in the Liu family's old house.

And there is no need to worry about food and drinking water in the deep mountains. It is impossible to trap them to death.

 The horse bandits have been entrenched here for more than three months. The road on the mountain has long been cleared. Following this road, they successfully found the stronghold of the mountain stronghold.

He touched his nose and asked Dalang: "Can you tell me what's going on? Where did that horse come from?"

Jinbao only had time to call out to "Third Aunt" before a man and a horse flew past him at lightning speed, leaving behind only billowing dust and smoke, which choked Jinbao and quickly covered his face.

Sanlang and Si Niang were still covered, so they just said: "My mother said she would be back two days later because she had something to do, so we should go to the old house to follow grandma."

Qin Yao followed the source of the water, and after a while, she heard the sound of people.

Horses are much more expensive than cows, and ordinary people cannot afford to raise them, either from the government or from wealthy families.

So that the four Dalang brothers and sisters thought they were hallucinating, imagining that the stepmother ran past them on horseback and stood there blankly for a long time.

 Qin Yao wore a "skin" covered with branches and leaves, stood on a towering tree on the side of the cave, and watched the entire punishment process with her own eyes.

 The suspected target was discovered—the leader of the horse bandits nicknamed King Xiang.
