Chapter 50: Collusion between officials and bandits

After dealing with the small bandit group, Yang Dachuan went to the courtyard to report the situation.

It was more to reassure everyone.

“How did it go?” the foot shop owner asked nervously.

“The ten-man team that just arrived has been wiped out by us.”

The courtyard was silent for two seconds, then erupted in cheers.

“Really?”

“Does that mean we are safe?”

“They killed them so easily?!” A traveler murmured in disbelief.

In the eyes of ordinary people, bandits are ferocious creatures. Such ferocious people must be difficult to kill.

Otherwise, why can’t the government eliminate these bandits? This is the subconscious understanding of ordinary people.

Yang Dachuan smiled and said, “Bandits are also human beings, so why can’t they be killed? As long as they are human, they can be killed.

It’s not that these people aren’t good at martial arts, they just aren’t as skilled as well-trained officers and soldiers.”

“Are we safe now?” a woman asked cautiously.

Yang Dachuan’s expression of joy froze and he shook his head at her. “We are temporarily safe now.

If no one else comes, then we are safe. If the bandits continue to send people over, we still have a tough battle ahead.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the courtyard fell silent, and the joy on their faces was replaced by solemnity.

Some people couldn’t help but clasp their hands and pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

“Everyone must prepare before the bandits leave.”

After Yang Dachuan finished speaking, he climbed back to the roof.

On the roof, four or five people were sitting. A few of them looked into the distance, listening to the sound of horse hooves and the sounds of fighting.

“It seems that the officers and soldiers have started to fight back.”

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and indeed heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of fighting, coming from afar and getting closer.

“The officers and soldiers should be here.”

“The soldiers and horses guarding the city counterattacked.”

Several people were overjoyed.

Su Yin withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on several bulging packages in front of the door. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance again.

It won’t be long before the officers and soldiers come over, and then the things on the ground will be taken away and become their possessions.

“Second uncle, I’m going down for a moment.”

Yang Dachuan was startled, “What are you doing down there?”

Su Yin pointed to the package not far from the body, and Yang Dachuan suddenly thought, “Be careful.”

“Yeah.”

Su Yin walked to the edge, found the right spot, and jumped down.

Someone on the roof noticed Su Yin’s behavior and was very surprised, “Why did she get down there?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Yin walking towards the packages, and he immediately understood.

Su Yin didn’t look at what was in the package. She picked up one of the packages and said to the person above, “Go on.”

She threw it forward, and Yang Dachuan caught it steadily, and the other packages followed the same pattern.

After finishing, Su Yin was not in a hurry to go back.

“Uncle, you guys are watching from above. I’ll go outside and take a look.”

“Yinyin, don’t go.”

Yang Dachuan tried to stop her, but he was on the roof.

Watching her leave, the two of them shook their heads helplessly. This girl has big ideas and they can’t control her.

Along the way, the entire East Street was in a mess. All the shop doors had been violently kicked open, and most of the things inside had been removed by the bandits, leaving corpses behind. The smell of blood filled the entire street.

When they reached the intersection of East Street and West Street, a team appeared in front of them. Su Yin dodged and hid in the corner.

Two groups of people met at the intersection, and the conversation of the leader was particularly clear in the quiet night.

“I’ve taken everything that needs to be taken, it should be almost done.”

“Okay, you leave quickly.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, have all the Wan family’s money been moved away?”

“Forget it, that guy’s money isn’t as much as Mr. Li. He asked the people in the house and said that Fatty Wan’s money wasn’t kept here.”

“Where are the others?”

“Before our people rushed into the house, the cunning guy had already entered the house and escaped. Give me another hour, and my people will definitely catch that fat pig.”

“Don’t worry, today’s harvest will temporarily relieve the master’s worries. Just think of a way to kill him. You can retreat first.”

The two groups hurriedly separated.

Su Yin glanced quietly, and even in the dark night, he could still clearly tell that the two groups were not the same organization.

One is affiliated with the government and the other is affiliated with the bandits, but now the two groups are mixed together.

The fact that Yongqing County was looted today was not an accident, but a trap set by them.

Su Yin looked at the messy Yongqing County, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart, feeling sad for the people living in this dark age.

Along the way from Dongtu County to Yongqing County, she encountered officials who didn’t look like officials and people who didn’t look like people.

The Dayong Dynasty has been completely rotten. Although she does not know when this dynasty will collapse, she believes that it will not be long before someone will stand up and overthrow this dark and rotten dynasty.

Su Yin didn’t go any further. As soon as she returned, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from under her feet and held her ankles.

She subconsciously kicked the person beneath her, and her foot touched a soft mass, and a muffled sound came from her feet.

Looking down, she saw a fat face peeking out from under the tattered bamboo basket.

The man’s face was covered in blood, and he tried to keep his eyes open, but there was too much fat on his face, squeezing his eyes.

Su Yin felt that the man was fat enough at first glance, but at the second glance she was attracted by the five sparkling rings on the man’s fingers.

There are rings on each of the five fingers. These rings include agate, gold and jade, and ivory. To sum up, they are worth a lot of money.

Look at the clothes the man is wearing. They are made of fine silk.

“Girl, help.” The fat man begged for help with difficulty.

Su Yin was thinking and said nothing.

The fat man seemed to be afraid that she would not save her, so he quickly added, “I can give you money.

As long as you save me, I will give you one hundred taels when the thing is done.”

Su Yin knelt down, and the fat man felt happy. The next second, he saw Su Yin gradually opening his fat hands that were holding the hem of her skirt.

“No help!”

“Five hundred taels.” The fat man hurriedly increased the price.

“Is five hundred taels enough to buy what you have?”

The fat man heard the trick and made another offer. “As long as you save me and let me get out of the city smoothly, I will give you ten thousand taels as a reward.”

Ten thousand taels, it is no exaggeration to say that this amount of money cannot be earned by ordinary people in a few lifetimes.

“Fifty thousand.”

The fat man’s face twitched, as if he didn’t expect this little girl to be so evil.

Damn it, does she know how much these fifty thousand taels of silver are?

“If you agree, I will take you away. If you don’t agree, you can find someone else.

However, you don’t want to be found by those people.” Su Yinyin pointed out.

When the fat man heard this, the flesh on his face trembled.
