Chapter 28 Collusion between officials and bandits
Looking at the twenty-five people standing in front of him, lying crookedly on the ground, Chen Jiu smiled. Although his voice was cold, it sounded like a fairy music in the ears of several bandits: "Okay, I keep my word, you can go."
"Thank you for your kindness," several bandits rolled and climbed toward the mountain.
Even if these guys are let go, they are all physically disabled, and it is hard to say whether they can survive tonight, let alone take revenge in the future. It would be great if they can survive in the rest of their lives.
"You all come out." Chen Jiu turned his eyes to the room.
There was no sound in the room, and Chen Jiu slowly wiped his sword, and he had time to wait.
Not long after, I heard a squeak, and girls came out one by one, and some even held the children in their hands.
"Uncle, what's the matter with me?"
A woman who looked a little older spoke.
Chen Jiu shook his head and lifted the property under his feet: "You can go down the mountain every bit. I will burn it all here with a fire, so as not to take root in the future and harm the people."
The women looked at each other, obviously not expecting that the young man who was so cruel before was so kind, hesitant and hesitant, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
Looking at the women who were still moving, Chen Jiu cursed in his heart: "It's rare that I am a good man, but I'm still so suspicious."
"If you don't leave, I'll light a stick of incense too." Chen Jiu's face turned cold and he was intimidated.
Sure enough, when they heard Chen Jiu want to light up the fragrance, the women grabbed a handful of treasures and then went down the mountain in panic.
The women's homes are not far from here, and they are obviously snatched by bandits from nearby homes.
Looking at the copycat, Chen Jiu picked up a torch: "Oh, killing people to silence their mouths and burning corpses, the ancients really didn't deceive me."
With the blessing of Chen Jiufeng's talisman, Chen Jiu burned all over the village that was endangering one side. Seeing the tattered clothes on his body, Chen Jiu shook his head: "Oh, there is a county town nearby, and it's just right to change the supply."
With the package, Chen Jiu slowly went down the mountain. When he passed by the valley where he had fought before, the wealthy family of Liu's surname had already left. He didn't know if the guard leader was dead. However, Chen Jiu probably was not at all that time, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
Looking at the county gate from afar, countless officers and soldiers were strictly investigating each other, as if they were catching someone, Chen Jiu didn't care. Now, there were always one or two bandits who escaped. It was not a big deal to strictly arrest thieves in the city, but it was hard to say that his holding gold was hard to say.
I found a place where no one was to hide the gold, and then made two more talismans, and then I was ready to enter the city.
The speed and efficiency of security checks are still very high. Soon it was Chen Jiu's turn. The big man who looked a little thin looked at Chen Jiu, then habitually looked at the portrait in his hand, and then looked at Chen Jiu again, and was stunned.
Chen Jiu looked at the gate guarding officers and soldiers, and no matter how he looked, was there something wrong with him?
Just when Chen Jiu felt something was wrong, he heard the soldier shouting: "It's him, everyone, be wary, don't tell him to run away."
After saying that, countless soldiers subconsciously raised their crossbows and pointed them at Chen Jiu.
At this time, Chen Jiu definitely did not dare to move. Once these guys misunderstood, it would be a dead end, and the idea of thousands of swords piercing the heart.
Chen Jiu calmed down: "Official, this is my first time here. Have you made a mistake? I am a good citizen."
The officer and soldier looked at Chen Jiu with alertness, and his tone was not so tough: "Master, don't resist. The notice said that you are very skilled in martial arts and knowledgeable. Don't make things difficult for us, otherwise don't blame our brothers for being unreasonable."
After saying that, he saw that Chen Jiu had no reaction, so he signaled his subordinates to lock Chen Jiu and then took the notice to Chen Jiu: "Uncle, look, this portrait is not you or who is in it."
When Chen Jiu saw that he was really himself, even his face was eighty-slightly similar. The description behind it proved this point, he was well-versed in Taoism and martial arts.
Chen Jiu couldn't figure it out, could it be that someone had reported the fact that he had been a bandit before, and then the whole country came to warn him, so it was impossible.
Under countless crossbows, Chen Jiu did not dare to resist rashly, and could only follow the officers and soldiers to the prison. With a clang, the door was locked, leaving only an iron window.
In the county government office, the county magistrate was drinking with a big man. At this time, a soldier outside reported: "Master, that wanted criminal has been caught."
The big man put down the wine glass and slapped the table suddenly: "This is really speed, master, I'll go see him."
The county magistrate took a sip of wine slowly: "Go and see if this guy has ruined our wealth."
After the big man nodded, he followed the soldiers to the prison, looked at the guard soldiers, took out a talisman: "Open the door, I want to go in and take a look."
After seeing the Lingfu, the soldier did not dare to neglect it and directly opened the prison door.
The dazzling sunlight pierced in. Chen Jiu's eyes slightly. He looked at the big man in front of him and was shocked: "Why are you?"
"How could it be me? You ruined the county magistrate's wealth. After the master learned about this, he was furious. You don't know. The carriage was in the Liu Mansion. If the little lady was captured, there would be a lot of money to earn money. It was all you. If it weren't for you, how could it have ruined our big business."
Chen Jiu looked at the bandit and felt depressed: "It turned out to be a collusion between officials and bandits, and it is not surprising to see you here."
The big man was the leader of the bandit. He always did some money-making things for the county magistrate or some difficult things to deal with to these bandits.
"Why did you come in empty-handed? Didn't you do business with the Liu family before? What about the three thousand taels of gold?" asked the big man.
Chen Jiu was depressed for a while: "You said to me, if you hadn't run away, the three thousand taels of gold would have been obtained long ago. Once you ran away, people would not give me a single child on the grounds that I did not do it."
After saying that, Chen Jiu sighed and looked at the timid gaze. Chen Jiu continued, "If you don't believe me, go and inquire. I was so angry that I stabbed the guard with a sword, and then turned around and ran away. As for whether the guard died or not, I don't know."
At this time, the big man showed a thoughtful look. Obviously, he had heard about the injury of the Liu family guards. He had a little strange before. At this time, he suddenly became clear after hearing Chen Jiu's explanation.
"You are also a talented person, and your martial arts are extraordinary. How about serving the county magistrate?" The big man began to try to recruit Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu smiled coldly: "After recruiting me, do you want to do something like stealing, killing people? I can't afford to lose this face."
The man snorted coldly: "Don't know how to politely, do you think you can escape after entering here? The prisons here are set up by the imperial court to imprison those warriors and monks. If you want to escape by your ability, then I advise you not to dream."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chen Jiu looked at the closed door here and tried to use his magic power to shake the walls of the prison. He really gained nothing and was not damaged at all.
"Damn it, I accidentally fell into a trap. What should I do?"
Chen Jiu sat in prison and thought hard, hoping to come up with a good way to escape.
Outside, the bandit leader looked at the prison soldiers and smiled coldly: "I have seen it more strictly recently. Don't ask that kid to run out. These alchemists are the most weird. There is nothing that can't be done."
After saying that, he left.
When he returned to the house, the county magistrate was still drinking. After the man took his seat, the county magistrate opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"
The man shook his head: "This kid is a tough bone to chew."
"What should I do?"
The big man's eyes turned: "A few days ago, didn't the court arrest the monks of Fang Xiandao? Now that this kid is in the hands of the master, isn't it a great achievement?"
The county magistrate turned his eyes: "Are you sure he can do magic?"
"It's absolutely impossible to be wrong. Not only can you know magic, but you can also be very powerful." The man said confidently.
