Chapter 72

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, there was a group of officers and soldiers riding horses searching for something.

In the woods, there are a few people standing at the moment. These people are wearing brocade suits and their faces are gloomy. One of them is there commanding the officers and soldiers, "Come on, search all the places around the woods, and don't let go of any gaps." , must not miss any place. Also, immediately pull all the carriages to the foot of the mountain and feed all the horses."

"promise!"

A group of officers and soldiers responded in unison, and then scattered around the woods, looking for suspicious clues.

At the foot of the mountain, a burly man was standing next to an open space with a long sword in his hand. His arms were crossed, and his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to catch the bandits who had been wandering nearby recently.

Suddenly a voice came into the man's ears, "My lord!"

"What? Have you found those bandits?" The brawny man turned around and asked.

"No, we have checked carefully just now, and found no trace of bandits."

"Keep looking!" the man said coldly.

"Yes!"

At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, a gust of wind blew, and the dust was flying. I saw a few yamen servants galloping from a distance and stopped in front of them. The leader was a young man with his hands Grabbing the reins, he got off the horse, walked up to the strong man and said, "My lord, the county magistrate wants you to go back."

The strong man frowned slightly, and waved his hands impatiently, "Understood, you go back first, and I will go back by myself after I check the situation."

"Yes!" The young man bowed his hands and stepped back.

The brawny man turned his head and looked into the forest, with a serious look in his eyes.

On the other side, a group of masked men in black are encircling a village. They are bandits.

The leader of the bandits was standing on a roof with a big knife in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

At this moment, a subordinate ran from a distance and knelt down on the ground, "Boss, all the people here are gathered here."

"Huh?" The bandit leader frowned when he heard it, and then he said coldly, "Tie them all up."

"Yes, boss!" The subordinate agreed.

As a result, more than a dozen bandits rushed over quickly and tied up everyone on the ground.

A treacherous bandit walked up to the leader and said respectfully, "Brother, everyone has been tied up, what should we do now?"

"Where is the money?"

"Boss, it's all here." His subordinates took out a small bag, which contained the things they managed to find.

After receiving the bag, most of it was copper coins, with only a small amount of broken silver.The leader of the bandits frowned, and cursed inwardly, "It's so fucking poor, do these people only have this little money?"

Then he asked again, "Where's the food?"

At this moment, the men on the other side pulled a carriage and said, "Brother, this is partially filled with grain, and there is a lot more over there."

"Oh?" The bandit leader's eyes lit up, "Then why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and move the things over here and take them all away."

"Yes!" The subordinates agreed, and then began to carry the food.

Seeing how these people were carrying the grain, greedy eyes flashed across the eyes of the leader of the bandits, and he thought to himself, "This much grain is enough for us to eat for a while, if we can get rid of the grain and transport it to the city , and you can make a lot of money.”

Just when he was thinking this way, suddenly out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a group of villagers gathered around

Walking over to see, they clasped their hands around a young monk, who had already died, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The villagers were reciting Amitabha in a low voice, with very sad expressions on their faces, as if they were mourning silently for the dead young monk.

Seeing this state, the bandit leader couldn't help feeling vigilant. He looked at his subordinates and asked, "What's the matter with these people? What are they doing?"

The subordinate glanced at the villagers and shook his head, "It seems that the little monk was dealt with by the brothers, and it should be just to save him."

"Excessive?"

"That's right, Boss, you can see that they all put their palms together, and their expressions are very pious. You can tell that they are sincerely saving the dead little monk."

Hearing this, the bandit sneered, "Heh, these guys are pretty kind, but here, kindness is useless. This is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and no gods came to save them."

The bandit leader's words made his subordinates a little embarrassed. He didn't speak, but lowered his head.

"Okay, don't worry about it, just bring everything over, and then let's move out!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates agreed, and then began to carry things over. A total of three carts of grain were piled aside, and those people began to load the grain into the carriage, ready to transport it back.

Seeing his subordinates loading everything into the carriage, the leader of the bandits showed a smug expression on his face, and he waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go back to the village!"

But just when they were about to leave, a few officers and soldiers searched here unexpectedly, and met the eyes of the bandit leader who was riding on the horse, which surprised the bandit leader.

"Boss, there are people over there, they seem to be officers and soldiers of the government." One of his subordinates saw the bandits' actions and reminded him quickly.

"Hmph, who cares about the government, we are bandits, why are we afraid that they won't succeed!"

"That's right, we are bandits, are we still afraid that the government will fail?" The subordinates at the side also hurriedly responded.

"Idiot, hurry up and arrest them!" The strong man slapped the masked man on the head suddenly, and shouted angrily.

"Uh~"

The subordinate covered his head, glanced at the bandit leader, and then shouted, "Brothers, copy guys!"

"kill!"

Immediately, the subordinates behind him pulled out the big knives from their waists and rushed towards the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

Seeing this posture, the officers and soldiers panicked and fled backward one after another.

However, the bandits and the others refused to let go, and chased them away.

Soon, these officers and soldiers were overtaken.

Those masked men surrounded these officers and soldiers.

The bandit leader looked at these officers and soldiers with a sinister smile on his face, "I will kill any of you who dare to resist. I am a bandit who kills without batting an eye!"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, they dared not make any moves
At this moment, the officials who were surrounded by those bandits also panicked, and shouted with some bluff, "You, what do you want to do? Do you know who we are? If you dare to hurt us, we will go Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to survive."

Seeing this group of bandits grinning grinningly, they panicked. Unexpectedly, a few of them just met them. What should they do?
