Yang Xian Cheng listened to Xin You's plan, his expression kept changing, and finally frowned and asked: "What if I can't talk about the bandits?"

 In Mr. Xin’s plan, the captured bandits are the most important part.

"I'll go and tell you. If you can't say it-" Xin You looked at He Qingxiao, "Then wait for Master He to adjust Ningshan Guards."

Hearing that there was a backup plan, Yang Xiancheng could feel the sincerity of the other party in suppressing the bandits, but he also understood that this was a last resort.

Wuyun Village occupies the advantage of natural danger and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although it can be captured by mobilizing a large number of officers and soldiers to attack, our own casualties will definitely not be small.

From the perspective of the imperial court, the gains outweigh the losses. When the time comes, it will be useless to say that it has to be done, but it will be a fault.

Yang Xiancheng thought about this possibility. Although he would not regret it, he didn't know what happened to others.

 He soon realized that it would be best if Mr. Xin’s plan could be implemented.

 “Then please leave it to Mr. Xin.”

 In the county government's prison cell, the eldest boss was thrown into a cell alone, and the sixth boss was locked up with Xiaoba.

"Sixth Master, why are you coming in?" When Xiaoba saw it was the Sixth Master who came in, his eyes widened in shock.

 The sixth master looked at him angrily: "What's so strange about me coming in? The eldest master also came in."

“Hiss—the boss has also come in? Didn’t the boss come to Ling County to have fun? Why did they come in?”

“I don’t know either.” The Sixth Master wiped his face and his eyes straightened, “Xiaoba, do you believe there are ghosts in the world?”

 Xiaoba:?

“Sixth Master, I think we bandits keep our heads tied to our belts, so it’s not surprising that this day will happen. We won’t go crazy with fear.”

 That Mr. Xin bluntly said that because he was ugly, he chose the sixth master to take him away. He suddenly figured it out.

 What are you afraid of? After eighteen years, you will be a handsome man again, maybe even a handsome handsome man!

"Who is so scared?" The Sixth Master reached out and hit Xiao Ba on the head, muttering to himself, "I think something strange has happened."

“Then tell me, what’s weird?” Xiaoba asked.

 “Things will start after we separate—”

 The topic of the Sixth Master had just begun when he heard the sound of footsteps.

 “That bandit is locked up here.”

The crisp sound of keys sounded, and the jailer opened the cell door.

 The Sixth Master's eyes widened and he stared blankly at the young man who was like a ghost in his heart walking in.

The cell was dark, but the young man had a light smile on his face and nodded to the jailer: "I'll have a few words with them alone."

"Then be careful." The jailer closed the cell door and left with a bunch of keys.

Xin You walked towards the headmaster Liu’s house.

 The Sixth Master suddenly came to his senses and hid behind Xiaoba.

 Xiaoba looked confused.

what happened?

"The Sixth Master seems a little afraid of me?" The young man stood still and asked, tilting his head slightly.

He had a smile on his face, looking at ease.

 The Sixth Master had a subconscious reaction to hide behind Xiaoba. Now he calmed down and knew that there was no way to hide, so he walked out bravely.

 “Is there something wrong, Mr. Xin?”

Xinyou nodded and glanced at Xiaoba: "We meet again."

 Xiaoba smiled dryly, his eyes twinkling.

Before he was sent to the government, Mr. Xin quietly told him that except for the two people escorting him, if he didn't reveal the existence of anyone else, he might have a chance to get out.

He didn't believe it at all, but when he was actually questioned by the county magistrate, he somehow managed to keep his mouth shut.

And now, Mr. Xin, who was clearly on his way, is back, and it seems that he has received courtesy from the county officials.

 Could he really get out alive?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiaoba's heart beat rapidly, and his eyes looking at Xinyou became eager. If you really want to live, who wants to be reincarnated for another eighteen years, what if it turns out to be even worse?

"Master Liu, come and sit down." Xin You glanced at him, lifted up his clothes and sat down.

Seeing how comfortable she was, the Sixth Master felt more and more mysterious about the young man in front of him. He hesitated and sat down.

Xin You smiled: "Sixth Master, please sit closer. What I want to say cannot be spread out."

The sixth master had no choice but to sit over slowly.

 Xiao Ba was inexplicably influenced by the Sixth Master, and asked cautiously: "Then I—"

 Should we sit there or stay away?

 “You also listen.”

After hearing what Xinyou said, Xiaoba hurriedly sat down next to Head Six.

“The Sixth Master now knows that your new First Master is a rebel from the imperial court, right?”

"What, the boss is a rebel from the imperial court?" Xiaoba almost jumped up.

Before Xin You could say anything, the Sixth Master cursed in a low voice: "I'm going to die, please keep your voice down!"

Xiaoba quickly covered his mouth.

“Then do you know why the leader rebelled?”

 The Sixth Master shook his head blankly.

 How does he know? He is not a rebel, he is just a little bandit!

“There was a big earthquake in Dingbei at the end of last year. Did you hear about it?”

 The Sixth Master and Xiaoba nodded together: "I heard about it."

Although Dingbei is far away from here, natural disasters such as earthquakes still attract people's attention. As time goes by, news has spread between the north and the south.

 “I heard that the houses collapsed and many people died...”

Xin You nodded slightly: "Many people have been affected by the disaster, especially when such a natural disaster occurs in the coldest month of winter, which makes it worse."

 Liu Dangjia and Xiao Ba were both silent.

Most of the bandits who surrendered to Wuyun Village were poor people who had no way out and could not survive. Of course, there are also those who can't bear the hardship and want to take shortcuts, but they are in the minority after all.

 The Sixth Master thought of himself.

His family originally had a few acres of thin farmland, and the family could live a decent life if they worked hard. However, there was a severe drought that year and there was no harvest, so they had to borrow money and grain from wealthy households to tide over the difficulties. It became increasingly difficult, and eventually the land was taken away by wealthy households, and the family was ruined.

Xin You looked at the two of them and said slowly: "The head of the family, Shangfeng, is the general who went to Dingbei for disaster relief under the emperor's order..."

 Listening to Xin You's talk about Wu Yanting's greed for ink and money, the trapping and killing of people, and the fact that he led his troops to flee south after his crimes were exposed, the expressions of the sixth master and Xiao Ba kept changing, and their eyes turned red with anger.

 “These dog officials!”

Realizing that Mr. Xin was also a court official, the Sixth Master held back his anger and stopped scolding him.

Xiao Ba was younger and didn’t think so much: “Master Six, these dog officials are worse than us bandits.”

"What's wrong with our bandits? Why don't we just grab some money?" The Sixth Master subconsciously retorted, but when he realized that Xin You was beside him, he shut up angrily.

“Does the Sixth Master know why I say this?”

 The Sixth Master shook his head again.

 It can’t be just to scare him, right? He is already in prison and cannot survive anyway.

“Wuyun Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the local officials gave up because they thought it was a tough nut to crack. But if the imperial court knew that Wuyun Village was hiding rebels, does the Sixth Master think the imperial court would give up because Wuyun Village was difficult to fight?”

 The Sixth Master turned pale.

 For bandits, if it is difficult to deal with them, the government can turn a blind eye. But if it was against the rebels, they would definitely go all out to annihilate them!

Wuyun Village is over!
