General Gu only brought a few close followers with him, and he was really unsure about attacking the mountain stronghold. Fortunately, these people were all good at it. He glanced at a few of them and saw that they didn't show any intention of backing down, so he was very satisfied.
After the bandits hiding in the cave heard the news, they had no courage to fight. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled. They were originally guarding the stronghold. At this moment, they all just wanted to escape for their lives.
They don't dare to fight with General Gu. His arms and legs are old and they will probably fall apart after one or two hits.
When General Gu rushed forward, he who reacted quickly had already hid in the cave.
The slower ones were tied up directly by the guards.
At the foot of the mountain.
Lu Qingying clapped her hands with satisfaction. She was relieved when she was caught. Those who escaped chased two back, and those who escaped further could not be chased back.
He looked at Zhao Wei sarcastically and said, "Do you still want to snatch me to be your wife?"
I saw that Zhao Wei's body was covered with scars, which were scratched by Gu Qingying with a dagger. His face was bruised and bruised, and he did not dare to look at Gu Qingying at all.
Gu Qingying hammered his arm and said: "You are too weak, not even comparable to the soldiers at the border. Thanks to you being here for so many years, the court failed every time it sent people to suppress the bandits. I believe it has something to do with you.
!You bribed them from the beginning, which is why every attempt by the imperial court to suppress bandits failed, right?"
Zhao Wei turned his face away, but his neck seemed a little sore.
Gu Qingying looked at the other person and snorted coldly: "You don't know what you can do. If you don't say it, someone will."
At this moment, a group of people came up the official road.
Taking a closer look, these are not the people sent by the Queen!
The leader's name is Qian Tong. Yesterday, when they came to their senses and found that Gu Qingying and General Gu had disappeared, they became very anxious.
They didn't expect General Gu and Gu Qingying to leave directly. They heard the news early in the morning and hurriedly came to find him.
Qian Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Qingying.
The Empress specifically told him to pay attention to Gu Qingying's every move.
If he loses track of him, his life will probably be lost.
The guard approached Gu Qingying worriedly and said, "What should I do, young lady?"
Gu Qingying raised her eyebrows: "Since they are here, we have to let them do something. You are tired from the fight just now, so take a good rest."
While talking, Qian Tong ran over with someone and said helplessly: "Miss Gu, you ran too fast, we almost didn't find you."
Gu Qingying pointed at the tied up bandit behind him and said: "This is the bandit from this mountain. Send some more people to the mountain to meet my father, and the rest of the people will send these bandits to the town ahead."
, it must be interrogated carefully.”
Zhao Wei was a little flustered.
"Aren't you going to send us to the government?"
He was emboldened to be caught because he thought that Lu Qingying would send them to the government.
As long as he is sent to the government, things will be much easier to handle.
result.
Gu Qingying had no intention of sending them to the government.
If they don't send it to the government, wouldn't they be doomed?
Gu Qingying sneered and said: "Do you really think I'm stupid? Every time the imperial court sends people to suppress bandits, they fail. You are not martial arts masters. There are always reasons for failure. I don't trust those people."
Qian Tong has sent people to take away these kidnapped bandits.
Although most of the people sent by the queen are old and weak, it is still easy for dozens of people to kidnap more than thirty people.
About half an hour later, General Gu came down from the stockade with his guards.
Gu Qingying said: "Have you finished arresting me?"
It was okay not to mention this matter. When he mentioned this matter, General Gu became a little angry and said: "Those bandits are so good at hiding. I came down to ask them a few questions."
The rest of the bandits were taken away, leaving only the leader Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei was very decadent. He had been kneeling here for more than half an hour, and Gu Qingying tortured him from time to time.
There were cries from his friends all around, but not everyone was as brave as him.
How could he survive it?
Although he is a bandit and has done a lot of bad things over the years, he is not the kind of person who exercises regularly!
He doesn't know much about kung fu, and he can only use his fists and tricks to bluff people.
He heard a lot of news from the conversations between Qian Tong and Gu Qingying.
But every news made him afraid of disappointment.
He probably really got it wrong this time.
General Gu walked up to Zhao Wei and said condescendingly: "I will ask you a question and you will answer. If you cooperate honestly, I will make you feel more comfortable. If you don't cooperate honestly, I will continue to torture you at night."
Zhao Wei turned his head away at this time, trembling a little.
He could feel the bloody smell on General Gu's body.
General Gu must have killed many people!
At this moment, Zhao Wei only had this idea in his mind.
Zhao Wei did not answer, but his eyes betrayed him.
General Gu said to himself: "If you don't refuse, I will take it as your acquiescence. Is there any other way out for your village?"
He didn't enter the cave because he didn't know what was going on inside.
Don't underestimate these caves, you may encounter danger if you enter without paying attention.
Those bandits must be more familiar with the environment inside than they are, and it is relatively deep and dark inside. If you are not careful, you may be injured by the hidden bandits.
Ask if there is any other way, and you can make a plan on how to catch these people.
If Zhao Wei doesn't betray the people around him, he certainly won't explain the problem.
Gu Qingying didn't have such a good temper. When Zhao Wei didn't answer, he stepped forward and slapped Zhao Wei on the face, and said coldly: "Let me understand one thing, you are a prisoner now, and I am a mere prisoner."
What do you look like in front of me, who do you think you are?"
Zhao Wei said "poof" to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood and said: "Anyway I fall into your hands, I will die. If you can, kill me. Don't expect to get anything useful from my mouth."
Most of the people in the cave are relatives.
Most of the bandits in their group have the surname Zhao, and they all belong to the same village.
They are all related to each other more or less. When we went up the mountain, we all discussed it. If we were caught in danger, we must not leak anything.
Gu Qingying was too lazy to waste time with Zhao Wei.
He looked at General Gu and said, "Dad, he won't tell."
General Gu sighed with disappointment and said: "Why bother? If you tell the truth honestly, we can still let you live a good life. If you don't tell the truth, the end will not be good. Compared with death, sometimes living is more uncomfortable."
After finishing speaking, he said to the money passage: "Take him away as well, along with the people I found from the cave."
Gu Qingying planned to take a look in the cave.
"Dad, let me go and take a look."
General Gu pulled Gu Qingying and said, "Don't go. The cave is very big and there are many passages. What will you do if you rush in? It's very dangerous inside."
Gu Qingying comforted him: "I'm just going in to take a look, I won't go in-depth. Don't worry, Dad. I know it well."
