Ci Jinzhi Chapter 282

After everything was arranged, Xin You explained to He Qingxiao: "The two escorting the bandits would cause a **** disaster. I guess they were injured by the boss and others who came to Ling County to have fun..."

He Qingxiao's expression gradually became serious after hearing this.

 The reason why he asked his two subordinates to wait for them to set off first before sending the bandits to the Yamen was to prevent the team from adding any unexpected risks. As I said before, Miss Xin's safety comes first.

 But this was thinking about the worst, and I didn't expect it to actually happen.

The tree is tall and leafy, and the two people hiding in the tree stopped talking, looking through the gaps between the branches and leaves, silently staring down.

 The tree closest to the big tree where Xinyou was hiding contained Qianfeng and Ping An. Unlike others who were staring directly below, their attention was entirely focused on the tree next to them.

 Up to this moment, the two of them were still frowning.

They were supposed to accompany the young master, but Master He took their place again. You can't insist even if you want, the young master doesn't agree.

 The two of them were a little confused as to how they could be other people's guards.

somebody is coming.

Banditry has made people panic, and further south there is rain and disaster. The official road some distance away from the county seat is full of wilderness on both sides, and it will take a while for anyone to pass by.

 A young couple came, walking on foot, with tense expressions.

Xin You looked at the woman who was looking around frequently with her baggage on her shoulders, and became more and more aware of the impact of banditry on the people in this area.

 After that, three or two more carriages passed by. Xin You twitched her ears and looked at He Qingxiao.

The sound of horses' hooves sounds urgent, and it sounds like there are more than three or five horses.

Looking far away from a high place, I soon saw a group of people coming on horseback. The leader's horse was not very fast. He looked left and right, raised his hand, and dismounted first.

The people behind them dismounted one after another, waiting for the leader's orders.

 The sixth master's pupils were trembling as his mouth was blocked.

　　　He is the boss!

“Let's go here.” The headmaster took a knife and walked through the bushes on both sides of the road, making arrangements for the people he brought.

There were more than ten people in this group, and soon four people drove their horses to the dense forest not far away. The remaining ten people, including the head master, were hiding in the bushes.

In June and July, when the vegetation is at its peak, a dozen or so people are hiding among them, like dormant wild beasts waiting for prey, with fierce glints in their eyes.

 “drive, drive—”

 Two figures on horseback came from the direction of Ling County.

 “Here we come.” In the bushes, the boss clenched the knife in his hand.

 On the tree, Xinyou held his breath and concentrated, getting ready.

Two Jinlin guards in casual clothes rode horses and quickly approached. As the birds chirped, the horse rope suddenly straightened, the horse's legs bent, and the man on the horse fell forward.

The moment the two were thrown out, the boss stood up and waved his hand.

The bandits who were ambushing on both sides stood up and ran towards the middle of the road with their swords in hand.

The long knife that had drunk the blood of countless people shone coldly in the sun, and the bandit who raised the knife looked ferocious.

 The ferocious expression suddenly froze, and accompanied by screams, the bandit fell forward.

Xin You jumped down from the tree and walked towards the gangster who was screaming.

The two Jinlin guards didn't understand the situation for a moment, and looked at He Qingxiao who was approaching: "Sir—"

In a panic, I forgot the name I used to hide my identity on the way out.

 “Thank you for your hard work.” He Qingxiao nodded in response and stopped in front of the head master.

 The head master saw He Qingxiao's face clearly, his expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "Master He!"

At this time, Jin Linwei, who had inspected the scene, reported: "Sir, there are three people alive and seven dead."

 “Clean the scene and take it to the dense forest ahead.”

 Seeing the Sixth Master being pushed by a Jinlin Guard, the First Master's eyes were split open: "Old Sixth, it's you!"

“Woooooooo—” Headmaster Liu was gagged and couldn't make a sound, looking aggrieved.      It's not him, how could he have such great ability.

It's him!

 The Sixth Master suddenly looked at Xin You.

The young man walking among a group of young people has not yet grown up. His body is thin, his appearance is green, but his back is indescribably calm and mysterious.

　　Yes, mysterious.

Although the eldest son frightened him, this young man made him feel mysterious.

 Because of the mystery, it breeds indescribable fear.

 How did he know that the big boss would ambush the two people who sent Xiaoba to the county government?

How did he know that the boss would choose to set up an ambush here?

How did he know that he and his brothers were hiding on the hillside, preparing to rob and kill the caravan?

The Sixth Master thought about it more and more, and became more and more frightened. Under the scorching sun, a cold air flowed through his limbs and his body, and his heart beat like a drum.

At this moment, Xin You glanced at the Sixth Leader.

 The Sixth Master was shaken all over, his head tilted and he fainted from fright.

Jin Linwei, who was dragging the sixth leader, looked confused: "Sir, this bandit suddenly fainted."

 “Take him over first.” He Qingxiao said calmly.

Xin You guessed He Qingxiao's origin from the name the boss called him. She walked up to him and looked at him, and said coldly: "The boss is so majestic. He scared his subordinates to death with just one sentence."

 The Sixth Master just didn't lift it up in one breath. He woke up from the pain after being dragged roughly and dragged. When he heard this, his face turned bright.

The headmaster was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He pursed his lips tightly to endure the pain, but there was hope in his heart.

There are four of them guarding the horses in the woods. If only one of them can escape back to the stronghold when they hear the noise, they will have the leverage to negotiate.

 When they arrived in the forest, the head master looked at the four corpses on the ground, his face pale.

 “How on earth do you know?” His extreme confusion made him forget the pain and fear, and screamed out.

 After calming down, the first master realized that these people had nothing to do with the sixth master.

Even if the Sixth Leader betrayed him and told these people that he was in Ling County, how would they know when he would leave the city?

unless-

 The head of the house's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Zheng Zhixian, this traitor!"

He Qingxiao was so perceptive. When he heard this, he immediately thought of a possibility: the big boss and Zheng Ming, the magistrate of Lingxian County, had secretly colluded together.

If this is the case, it makes sense that the government has not taken any action when banditry has been so rampant near Lingxian County recently.

“Are you under the command of the traitorous general Wu Yanting?”

In April, Wu Yanting, the commander of the Beijing camp, led his troops to flee south. They were later wiped out, but some scattered soldiers were still missing.

 Considering the time when the head of the family occupied Wuyun Village, and also recognized him as the envoy of Jinlinwei Town, there is no doubt that this person was a fish that slipped through the net under Wu Yanting's command.

The headmaster's pupils shrank, and he was so shocked that he cursed: "No wonder the dog thief named Zheng hurriedly reported to me that an official passing by on business had captured the Shanzhai brothers, but he didn't reveal that it was Jin Linwei. It turns out he knew about me. As a traitor general, he has joined forces with the Jinlin Guards to take advantage of us..."

 Listening to the scolding of the eldest master, the sixth master felt dizzy.

 The boss is actually a rebel!

 The county magistrate actually colluded with the bandits!

 The people who captured him were actually Jin Linwei!

God, he is just a little bandit, why should he go through this!

 Amidst the scolding from the head master, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You.

The big boss revealed his relationship with the magistrate of Lingxian County without warning. It was not that the big boss was stupid, but because of their oriole's ambush, the big boss could only think of one reasonable explanation: Magistrate Zheng was a double-faced man.

 This misunderstanding is all because of her.

Xin You suddenly said: "Qianfeng, go get a pen and paper from your bag."
