Chapter 59 Things get big
  The two groups fought for a long time before they stopped. The ground was in a mess, and several people lay down motionless, fearing that they had already lost their breath.

After this fight, Yue Laizi completely broke up with Kong Shun, put down his harsh words and took the others away.

Kong Shun looked at the mess in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Go and find out what those government officials came to the village for."

After a while, the people below came back and said, "Brother, those refugees have opened up wasteland, and the people sent by the Yamen to measure the land have already left."

When Kong Shun heard this, he angrily knocked over everything on the table, "This is really strange."

The third child said angrily, "Boss, I'm going to kill that group of people and see how they cause trouble."

"Stop!" Kong Shun stopped him, "Our people are dead and injured today, don't you think it's chaotic enough? Yue Laizi is not easy to talk to. Now that he is convinced that we betrayed him, who knows if he will survive?" Let's take these people and bury them in the back mountain. In two days, I will personally explain to Yue Laizi to clear up the misunderstanding."

The third child was angry, but he had suffered heavy losses today. Last time he went to find trouble, he failed to get any benefits, and this time it was even more difficult.

He had no choice but to endure it, "Let them keep this account in mind, and no one from that group can be left alive."

When night fell, the horse thieves dragged the corpses in the courtyard to the back hill and buried them. There were four of them and three bandits, so they dug a big hole and buried them together.

As soon as the horse thieves left, Ye Hongchang led people to the edge of the pit.

The second idiot said, "Hongchang, do we really want to do this?"

I have never picked up a dead person in my life. It's so scary.

Ye Hongchang asked, "Do you want to get rid of all the bandits and horse thieves and live a stable life in the future?"

"Yes, of course I do." Others nodded.

"If you want to, then you have to do it. Hurry up and don't let those people find out." Ye Hongchang took the lead and used a hoe to remove the soil.

It was buried shallowly and the person was dug out quickly.

Along the way, everyone is used to seeing dead people, which means that the psychological level is so difficult that once you really start taking action, you won’t feel anything.

Besides, these people are thieves who do all kinds of evil, so what's not to do?

Several people worked together and soon dug out the corpses and pushed the soil back.

The body was transported out of the village on two carts without attracting attention by taking the road along the mountain side.

Ye Xiangxiang and a few people were waiting there to pick them up. They cleaned up the people and changed them into ordinary people's clothes. Then Ye Hongchang took people and transported the people to the county town overnight.

At dawn the next day, seven corpses appeared at the door of the Yamen.

Some passers-by were frightened, while others formed a circle and stopped to watch the excitement.

By the time the Yamen came to their senses, the matter was already causing quite a stir.

Ye Hongchang followed Ye Xiangxiang's instructions and led people to spread the news among the crowd, "It's such a tragic death, and I don't know if there is any grudge."

"Yeah, look at it."

"It's so scary. Who did it?"

Ye Hongchang said, "I guess they are bandits. Can ordinary people kill so many at once?"

"Bandits? Are there bandits here?"

"Why not? There is a group of bandits in Fuyu Mountain, and there are horse thieves at the bottom of the mountain. Those people kill people when they are unhappy. I don't know when I met that group."

"Didn't the imperial court say that they would suppress the bandits?" "Yes, but is there any movement here? Look, seven people have died, and I don't know how the Yamen will hide it this time."

"Well, we ordinary people are destined to endure hardship. I think this gangster and the yamen may be colluding."

Several people spread the news separately, and soon it was spread on the streets that bandits had come to the city to kill people. If the yamen didn't take action to clean up the people, disaster would fall on everyone in the future.

This is the effect you want.

Seeing this, Ye Hongchang took people away, bought some daily necessities, and hurried back.

Magistrate Zheng was so angry that his head was smoking, and his cheeks were swollen as the morning passed.

"Sir, there are several people playing drums again, and the lawyer is also joining in the fun. This matter can no longer be suppressed."

Magistrate Zheng slammed the table angrily, "What is going on? Where are the people on duty? Why did those corpses appear at the gate of the county government office? How come no one knows about it?"

"My lord, I haven't seen any bodies during Yinshi's patrol. They appeared just before dawn. I think I had a premeditated plan. Sir, if I don't report it at this time, I'm afraid something big will happen." The county magistrate was very worried.

Magistrate Zheng has always done more than less. How could he not know that there were bandits in Fuyu Mountain? He just didn't want to provoke them. It was best to live in peace.

Who would have thought that these bandits were desperate for their lives, and even knowing that the court was suppressing bandits, they still came out to cause trouble.

Don't want to live anymore?
  Now that everyone is aware of the commotion, if he doesn't take care of it, he may lose his hat.

So even if I was afraid of causing trouble, I had to do it now.

"Immediately report to the superiors. Remember to speak sincerely. Be sure to emphasize that the county government did not know about this matter before and cannot let the superiors blame it."

There is certainly no way to completely shirk responsibility, but we cannot admit that we knew there were bandits but did nothing. We can only say that we cannot deal with the bandits.

The county magistrate responded quickly, "Sir, this matter is urgent. Please report it first and wait for the news with peace of mind."

After saying that, he whispered again, "I'm afraid that if this happens, the bandits in Fuyu Mountain will not be able to escape. I wonder what your plans are?"

County Magistrate Zheng understood what he meant and stared, "You mean I have an affair with bandits? You can't talk nonsense. Just do whatever you want. Bandits are hateful. What can the county government do?" ? Fortunately, the emperor’s sage issued an edict to suppress the bandits. Now the people of Wushan County have a good life. I must first thank the sage for his grace.”

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said, "I believe you, sir. Since you are so upright, you will naturally not get involved with bandits. But I don't know what the higher-ups will think. You should think of your words earlier."

Magistrate Zheng was extremely anxious, "It's such an unlucky year. I've offended these evil spirits. I'm going to torture myself to death."

The county government reported it to the superiors. When the other side of the city received the news, they dared to hide the matter and issued instructions immediately.

The bandits must be eliminated without harming the people.

If this thing is done well, it will make a great contribution, but if it is not done well, it will just shoot itself in the foot.

It's just that I didn't report such a big matter to the superiors. When the superiors found out, let alone Wu Shamao, I was afraid that my life would be in danger, and the prefect would not dare to hide it.

The matter was quickly brought to the attention of the capital commander. The most important thing now was to suppress the bandits. How could he explain it to his superiors if there were no results?

Naturally, the capital commander immediately dispatched troops to respond. In just a few days, Lingshi Town suddenly changed. Soldiers in armor were everywhere on the streets.

When the people saw this, they felt a lot more at ease. Now it was time to see where the bandits were going.

It would be better if they all died.
