On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 61 Catch them all in one fell swoop

Meng Tianlang sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers. He would secretly help whichever side was at a disadvantage, allowing them to fight to the death.

The foot of the mountain was surrounded by officers and soldiers. The horse thieves were anxious but could not send a message to the mountain.

This Fuyu Mountain is very strange. If there is no one who is familiar with the route to lead the way, I am afraid that I will get lost after entering the mountain.

Ye Hongchang has been in the mountains, but he alone is not enough.

While looking for a route at the foot of the mountain, the original villagers of Xiema Village came running over one after another.

"My lords, the common people are willing to lead the way. Please have mercy on me and drive away all these thieves so that we ordinary people can have a place to live."

These people are all natives here and are very familiar with Fuyu Mountain.

With them leading the way, the soldiers and horses entered the mountain smoothly and surrounded the mountain in several routes.

There was still fighting in the village, and the commotion at the bottom of the mountain was getting louder and louder.

The younger brother came in and said, "Master, the officers and soldiers have entered the mountain. Several roads have been blocked. I am afraid they will attack here tonight."

With no way to go, Yue Laizi looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that my life would alarm so many people."

He gritted his teeth and looked at Kong Shun, "Even if I die, I will never let you live a good life. I will chop you to death."

The box where Yue Laizi put the treasure had been found. Kong Shun didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he retreated down the mountain with his men.

Unexpectedly, Yue Laizi seemed to have gone crazy and struck Kong Shun several times with his broadsword, but he dodged them all.

Kong Shun held the box and refused to let go. Yue Laizi slashed the box with his knife, scattering the items in the box all over the floor.

The gold, silver and jewelry shone brightly and were snatched away by several people around them.

Kong Shun wanted to pick it up, but Yue Laizi's sword struck him again, so he ran back quickly.

Meng Tianlang took action at the right time, but Kong Shuai felt pain in his knees and knelt on the ground.

Yue Laizi's broadsword followed closely, hitting Kongshun in the back of his neck, and he died soon after.

The village was in chaos. Meng Tianlang took Ye Xiangxiang down from the tree and wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Passing by the place where they were fighting, Ye Xiangxiang stepped on a stone and looked down, only to find that the pattern was very complicated.

Yue Laizi's box was full of treasures, but this stone didn't look like a valuable object. Could it be used for something else?

Ye Xiangxiang quickly picked up the stone, followed Meng Tianlang into the night, flew down from the cliff, and soon returned to the village.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

The surrounding area of ​​Xiema Village was filled with flames. Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could clearly see the trajectory of the officers and soldiers entering the mountain.

Yue Laizi couldn't escape. He had to choose to die by himself or be captured and beheaded by the court. The only difference was the way of death.

After tonight, Xiema Village will be completely different.

Ye Xiangxiang breathed a long sigh of relief. These people were difficult to deal with, but it was not completely impossible to find a way.

She turned her head and looked at Meng Tianlang. Of course, she couldn't do it without him.

These plans were extremely dangerous. Without Meng Tianlang's skill, they would have been interrupted long ago.

Several places on the mountain burned down, and the fires were not extinguished until dawn, and the bandits were wiped out in one fell swoop.

When they were put on shackles and taken down the mountain, the villagers on the roadside spat at them and cursed them.

There were also people whose heads were wrapped in white cloth and paper money was burned at the foot of the mountain.

Someone in the family was killed by bandits, and for several years, they have been unable to seek justice.

Heaven's way is easy to reincarnate, no one will be spared by heaven. How about the past few years? Today can be considered as seeking justice.

When the officers and soldiers were about to withdraw, everyone suddenly remembered something.

"Sir, the horse thief is still in the village. Are you going to ignore the horse thief?"

These soldiers were just following orders. They said they would capture the bandits, and the horse bandits were not under their control.

When everyone evacuated, all the villagers panicked.

The horse thieves and the mountain bandits are in the same group. I must have known that they led the way last night. Why don't we kill them all after the officers and soldiers leave?

The villagers chased them for a long distance, but no one wanted to pay attention to them.

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, everyone, isn't there still a county government?"

The aunt cried and wiped her tears, "If the county government is useful, why do we need to suffer so much? Now it's all over. We have angered the horse thieves and we can't even save our lives."

Someone else stood up and blamed Ye Hongchang, "You asked us to lead the way last night. You said that we can only live a good life if we eliminate all the bandits and horse thieves. Now they don't care about it. What should we do? You have to give me an explanation." .”

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, everyone. Although the horse thief has not been eliminated, his vitality has been severely damaged. Don't mess up your position yet. How can we not be able to fight with so many people?"

There are only about a dozen horse thieves left now. As long as they work together, Ye Hongchang can still fight them even if the government doesn't intervene.

But the villagers here have been frightened out of their wits. Not to mention there are more than ten horse thieves, even if there is only one person left, they will be scared.

The original villagers were already willing to stand with Ye Hongchang and the others, but when they saw that the situation was wrong, they hid one after another for fear of getting into trouble.

Ye Hongchang could only sigh. The people here were so oppressed that when they mentioned horse thieves, the first thing that came to mind was to retreat.

But what's the rush? There is also a backup plan.

The bandits were all caught in one fell swoop. Magistrate Zheng wiped his sweat and thought that this matter was finally over.

Unexpectedly, after a while, someone came in to deliver a message.

"Sir, it's not good, the Zhang family has come to the county office to find someone."

Magistrate Zheng glared, "Who are you looking for? Which Zhang family?"

The yamen servant hurriedly said, "Who else could it be from the Zhang family? Who else in this county dares to mention his surname Zhang?"

Magistrate Zheng was startled, "Mr. Zhang, who are you looking for? How did you find the Yamen?"

The yamen servant said anxiously, "We are looking for Dr. Li from Jirentang. A few days ago, two of the doctor's families came to the county yamen to complain about their grievances. They said that their family members were kidnapped by horse thieves. One of them was named Li. Sir, the Zhang family is probably looking for Dr. Li."

Magistrate Zheng felt dizzy.

What is all this about?

He had just settled the matter with the mountain bandits, and here came the horse thieves. Who could he offend against those horse thieves?

But the Zhang family cannot be offended. Although they are just a merchant, they are very powerful in Wushan County. Can a small county official like him afford it?
  They didn't want to provoke him over there, but they couldn't afford to provoke him here. After thinking about it, Magistrate Zheng could only take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the horse thief.

Fortunately, a lot of losses have been suffered because of mountain bandits and horse thieves.

At this time, everyone in Xiema Village was able to live a stable life again.

Maybe you can ask for credit, and if you're lucky, it's not impossible to get promoted.

Magistrate Zheng made up his mind and immediately consulted with someone. The next day he sent people to Xiema Village to catch all the horse thieves.

The third child didn't expect Mr. Weng to be so cruel. He knew that the county government was going to take action, but he had no intention of protecting them.

At the last moment, he still had hope in Mr. Weng, but unexpectedly, he believed in the wrong person.
