In Cuiwei Mountain, Xiao Liu and others finally found the traces of the bandits after walking for more than an hour.

Looking at the brand new cut on the branches, Xiao Liu knew that they had arrived at the activity area of ​​the bandits.

"Brother Lin, Brother Zhang, thank you for your guidance, but you will go back first. The rest is our government affairs."

Xiaoliu clasped his fists and said thankfully to the two hunters behind him that the next thing was more dangerous and there was no need for them to participate.

When they heard Xiao Liu's words, the two hunters were a little hesitant and looked at each other.

To be honest, they were also a little scared when they asked them to find the group of people who were not sure whether they were bandits. After all, they were just ordinary ordinary people, and catching bandits was not their business.

However, they were also a little sad to let them leave Xiao Liu and his other person here.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, the sturdy man spoke first.

"Constable Yan, I think I'll go with you. After all, these multiple people have more strength, and the mountains are high and dense forests. If we all leave, I'm worried that you will lose your way by yourself."

His implication was very obvious, and he wanted another person to go back, so he continued to lead Xiaoliu.

But at this time, another person also spoke.

"Brother Zhang is right. One more person means more strength. Constable Yan should let us accompany you. If they are really bandits, then the three of us can take care of us."

Seeing the righteous look of the two, Xiaoliu couldn't help but smile. These two men were really the same man.

Although the two planned to go with him, Xiao Liu still smiled and shook his head and refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the next thing is quite dangerous, so let Xiaoliu do it yourself. After all, you still have a little kid in your family to take care of, so there is no need to take this risk."

"And besides, Xiao Liu didn't want to contact the other party directly this time, but just wanted to secretly investigate their situation. If the three of us were together, the target would be too big." Xiao Liu explained with a smile.

"In addition, are you worried about my skills?"

As he said that, Xiao Liu looked at a tree that was about three or four feet tall and hugged each other, and jumped into the air, stepped on the trunk with both feet and flew up the treetops along the trunk.

"How is it?" Xiao Liu stood firm and turned around and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Zhang and Lin were stunned when they saw Xiao Liu's move.

Is this the legendary light skills?

Looking at the dazed two people, Xiao Liu smiled. "Okay, two brothers, I have already kept the way back in my mind. You can go back to the village with confidence and wait for my good news."

After saying that, Xiao Liu ignored the two of them and flew down the treetops and followed the traces of chopping along the way.

Seeing Xiaoliu's figure disappearing into the bushes, Zhang and Lin came to their senses just now. They shook their heads to each other, both of which saw the envy in each other's eyes.

"Okay, let's go back. With Constable Yan's skills, we're just causing trouble when we go."

"Um!"

—————————————————————————————

Deep in Cuiwei Mountain, many bandits were divided into seven or eight teams, each of which had six or seven people. They were looking for food while opening roads in the mountains and forests.

Except for these bandits who are responsible for finding food, the rest of the bandits are hiding in a natural stone cave to rest.

A bonfire was lit in the cave, and the orange-red firelight shone the natural cave part red, even the boxes of silver-white silver ingots were no exception.

Several bandits who were in charge of guarding the treasure chest were swallowing their saliva when they looked at so many silver ingots.

This is the first time they have seen so much money when they have grown up. If the boss hadn't been by their side at this time, they would have wanted to secretly pick up two ingots of ingots to hide.

"Hahaha, Brother Xie, look at this silver." A strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist and two scars on his face was smiling so hard that he couldn't stop holding on with a few big ingots.

With so much money, let alone his younger brothers, it is the first time he has seen him after being the King of Mountains for so many years.

And beside him was a man with an honest face.

I saw him crossing his hands in his sleeves, looking at the boxes of silver ingots, which was a bit excited but a little worried.

"Master, it's great to have so much money, but..."

The man wanted to speak but stopped. To be honest, if he had known the origin of this batch of silver, he would have said that he would stop the boss from making this order in everything.

But at this time, everything has been said and everything has been done. Now he can only hope that the other party can't find them.

The boss saw the military advisor beside him looking worried, and hurriedly comforted him with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Xie, don't worry. We all hid in the deep mountains and forests. Even if the Dongchang manuscript is amazing, I don't believe they can find it here."

That's right, the reason why this group of bandits hid in the deep mountains and forests was because they actually robbed Dongchang's property.

I have to say that these bandits are really bold and dare to grab things from the East Factory.

You should know that although this Dongchang is like the Six Gates, it is one of the three major forces that the imperial court has intimidated the world.

But compared to the six doors, the Dongchang is obviously even more terrifying, because the six doors are responsible for maintaining order in the martial arts world, so he has to be reasonable and preach the law when doing things.

However, this Dongchang is completely useless. It has the right to bypass the judicial institutions and supervise and arrest the subjects of the Ming Dynasty at will. It can be said that this is a spy agency that makes everyone frightened.

It is no wonder that these bandits were hiding in the deep mountains and forests. Because they offended the Dongchang, no one except the emperor could protect them.

However, it was also these bandits who were lucky. At this time, Dongchang was in the period of change of rights, so they didn't have time to pay attention to these bandits yet. Otherwise, these bandits would have died long ago.

Just as the two bandit leaders were discussing, outside the cave, Xiao Liu quickly discovered the whereabouts of the bandits.

Xiao Liu hid on a big tree under the cover of leaves, looking at the team of bandits below, watching them holding sharp blades, scarves on their heads, and a fierce look on their faces, Xiao Liu knew at first glance that these people were not good people.

"Oh, have you heard that? The king said he would take out ten thousand taels of silver from the 30,000 taels of silver he stolen to share with us brothers."

"Really?"

......

Listening to their conversation quietly, Xiao Liu became more sure that they were just a group of bandits, and they were the kind of bandits who did evil and just committed a big crime.

Although Xiao Liu felt a little strange in his heart, if a bandit really robbed 30,000 taels of silver, the superiors should not have known it, but why have they never received the notice from the above?

Xiao Liu pressed down on the doubts in his heart and continued to quietly follow these bandits.

Relying on his light skills, Xiao Liu flew around the treetops. Although the branches swayed from time to time, they did not attract the attention of these bandits.

After all, there are lush trees in this forest, and the mountain wind blows from time to time. In addition, there are countless birds and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, so it is normal for the leaves to shake.

In this way, Xiao Liu successfully followed the bandits outside the cave where they were hiding with Lin Ye's cover.

Xiao Liu, who was leaning on the treetops, watched a group of people come out of the cave. They started by setting fire to build fire, peeling the skin, obviously trying to attack these preys they had just hit.

Xiao Liu looked at what they ate alone, which was so delicious!

"Gugugugugu!" It was already past, and Xiao Liu didn't eat anything at noon, and he was hungry and was also yelling.

Helplessly, Xiao Liu could only go to the nearby area to pick some wild fruits and come back to satisfy his hunger. So Xiao Liu stared at the entrance of the cave for a whole afternoon, and he calculated the number of these bandits.

But this is not a problem. When I was shocked, there were hundreds of bandits in this group, and they were all with sharp blades. It can be said that this is a group of very dangerous bandits.

After calculating it clearly, Xiao Liu saw that he could not lurk near to eavesdrop, so he could only quickly withdraw and report to his master and County Magistrate Lou.

You should know that if these more than 100 bandits with swords want to rob the Seven Heroes Town, it would be like playing.

Xiao Liu hurriedly retreated quietly.

As soon as they left the forest, Xiao Liu first found the village chief and hunters of Beikou Village, and asked them to remind the villagers not to enter the mountains again in the near future. Even if they really wanted to enter, they must not go too deep.

The villagers were shocked when they heard Xiaoliu's words. After Xiaoliu was relieved, he quickly ran towards Qixia Town. This time he did not hide anymore, and he used his light skills with all his strength.

At this time, the sun had set in the west, and the sky to the west was filled with light. At the gate of the south of Qixia Town, a middle-aged man leaned on the wooden pillar at the gate of the town, and he looked into the distance from time to time.

Seeing that the figure that had been looking forward to in my heart still did not appear, Lao Xing couldn't help but feel more anxious.

The pedestrians entering and leaving the side looked at Captain Xing like this. Although they felt a little strange, they didn't have the courage to come over and talk to each other.

Suddenly, a black dot in the distance attracted Lao Xing's attention, and Lao Xing immediately stood up happily.

The black spot was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes. In the end, Xiao Liu, who he was eager to see, finally appeared in his eyes. Lao Xing finally let go of his worrying heart.

"Master?" Xiao Liu, who was running at a high speed, also saw the master waiting for him at the gate of the town. Seeing that the master was not waiting for him at the Tongfu Inn, but waiting for him at the gate of the town, Xiao Liu's heart was also warm.

The master and apprentice met, without too much greeting. Old Xing patted Xiaoliu's shoulder with relief and asked.

"Six, how about it? What's the result of this investigation? Come, let's go, the master will take you to Tongfu Inn and sit and talk slowly."

As he said that, Lao Xing was going to take Xiaoliu to Tongfu Inn to eat while saying that he had been standing at the gate of the town for more than half an hour, and his ligaments were hurting a little again.

However, Xiaoliu quickly leaned over to Lao Xing's ear and told Lao Xing truthfully what he saw and heard in the mountains. When Lao Xing heard that there were more than 100 bandits, and they were all carrying swords, he was immediately shocked.

Xiao Liu quickly comforted Lao Xing, and gave a wink at Lao Xing, asking him not to show it.

Old Xing is also an old captain. He also knew that he must not panic at this time, and his apprentice was by his side. He immediately pretended that nothing had happened.

Now, the two of them didn't care about going to Tongfu Inn for dinner, so they hurried to the county government and had to report the matter to Lou County.

At this time, Magistrate Lou was having dinner with his family. When he heard the butler say that Lao Xing and Xiao Liu had something urgent to report. Although he was a little confused, he hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and went out of the hall to meet the two of them.

Listening to the two of them's reports, Magistrate Lou was also shocked. He looked at Xiaoliu in disbelief.

"Constable Yan, can you be sure they are bandits?"

Xiao Liu quickly reported every word he heard from the bandits to County Magistrate Lou truthfully.

Listening to Xiao Liu's words of conviction, Magistrate Lou no longer had the intention of taking chances, and he sat on the chair in disbelief.

More than one hundred bandits were carrying swords.

He, the owner of the Seven Heroes County Government, even if he adds all the Libaos in the Ten Villages and Eight Shops, he is only more than 40 people.
