Mo Wuyi sat on the stone and looked at the scenery in the distance. The setting sun shone on her beautiful face, making her look a little softer.
She was originally the head of the 'Shuangfeng Village', with thousands of minions under her command. Now she was recruited and dismissed most of her subordinates, leaving only fifty elites to follow her.
These fifty elites are all very skilled. They have been with her for many years and can be called confidants. Of course, the years of robbing homes and homes have also developed their habit of disobeying discipline. They have been restrained along the way, and if Mo Wuyi hadn't been there to comfort them
, those subordinates didn’t know how much trouble they would cause.
"Master, is it really right for us to follow those high-ranking officials of the imperial court? You see, we have not been able to eat well or sleep well along the way. When we encounter trouble, we still take the lead. The brothers complain a lot!"
"Second Master, how many years have you been a bandit?" Mo Wuyi picked up the jug and drank.
The wine was given to her by the villagers.
Bandits, they are always worried about moving their necks tomorrow, so they try their best to eat and drink as much as possible. Wine is a good thing to strengthen courage and relieve sorrow, so almost all of them are greedy for a few drinks.
The second master thought for a while and said, "It's been seven years! You weren't here yet at that time!"
"Yes, uncle, you have been a bandit for seven years. Do you still remember what you were like before you became a bandit?" Mo Wuyi looked at the second boss.
The second master fell into memories: "At that time, I was working as a long-term worker in a wealthy family. I fell in love with the girl in the palace, but the young master of that family raped her and took her as a concubine. I killed him in anger, and the government wanted to
Caught me, I fled all the way to Shuangfeng Village, followed my former boss, and became a bandit. I still remember the first time I killed someone..."
"If you were given another chance to choose, would you kill someone?"
The second boss was silent.
The life of a bandit for several years was not as good as imagined.
Although I ate a lot of meat and drank a lot, I couldn't see the future when I opened my eyes every day. I always felt that today was the last day of my life. It was very difficult to live such a life.
"Uncle understands what you mean." The second master said, "Uncle is just complaining for you. At first you agreed to recruit me because you fell in love with Mr. Lu, but he didn't know how to appreciate him. With your appearance and skills, marry him
Can you still wrong him?"
"He has a deep love for his wife." Mo Wuyi said, "I don't believe what men say. Men like the new and hate the old. I'm still young, so I can wait slowly."
It was late at night and the village was completely silent. Not even the barking of dogs was heard.
The moonlight is excellent tonight. The full moon hangs high in the sky, with only a faint blood-red color, as if it indicates that something is about to happen.
Su Sheng brought more than 100 escort soldiers, plus Mo Wuyi's 50 people, the total number of this group was close to 200.
With so many people setting up camp in the village, they can only choose spacious open spaces.
These people were exceptionally quiet today. If I hadn't heard the snoring, I would have thought something was wrong with them.
"Are they all asleep?"
"Don't worry, Second Master, they all drank and slept soundly. When they wake up tomorrow... no, they won't wake up again tomorrow."
"Get rid of them."
"yes."
A group of men in black sneaked into the camp and slashed at the soldiers lying there with shining silver knives.
Bang!
When the knife was struck, the sound it made was very strange, and it couldn't be cut at all.
"wrong!"
These men in black noticed something was wrong and were about to escape out of the tent, but saw the torches being lit one after another.
Look at the 'people' lying on the ground, they are just stones placed under the quilt.
Su Sheng led everyone and surrounded the place.
"Have you noticed something is wrong with us a long time ago?" The village chief, no, it should be the 'Second Master', looked at Su Sheng coldly, "I asked myself, how did you find out if we pretend to look alike?"
"You do pretend to look alike." Mo Wuyi said, "But we in Shuangfeng Village have been in contact with people from all walks of life all year round. Sometimes in order to ambush a caravan, we have to act like that. In terms of acting, how could you possibly
Are you more experienced than us? You paint yourself like an ordinary farmer, but the calluses on your hands reveal flaws..."
"And wine..." Su Sheng said, "You said your village is good at wine making."
"The people in Liushu Village are indeed good at making wine. The wine is also found in the village. What's the flaw in this?" asked the second master.
"That wine is good wine, but when your people brought the wine over, they tried to open the wax seal on it. They did so clumsily. It doesn't look like they do this kind of thing often. Since you are good at making wine, you can seal the wine and open it.
Shouldn't it be very dexterous to handle the sealing wax on it?" Su Sheng said.
"There is also a taste..." Lu Yi continued to explain, "The taste in the wine is wrong. You originally picked a colorless and odorless medicine, but what you didn't expect was that the medicine would produce such a strong smell when mixed with the wine.
Son. If you were an ordinary person, you might think that the brewed wine is not tasty, but I have investigated so many cases, encountered this kind of medicine, and know what it tastes like."
"I thought there were no omissions, but I didn't expect there to be so many flaws." The second master said, "I fell into your hands. There is nothing to say. If you want to kill me, I will leave it to you."
"If you tell the truth, we won't make things difficult for you, and maybe we can let you go," Mo Wuyi said.
"Mrs. Mo, since when can you make decisions for the government? Or do you think that if you become the government's lackey, they will really treat you as one of their own?" The second master sneered.
"It seems that we are colleagues." Mo Wuyi said, "Since we are colleagues, you should have heard of my evil reputation, Mo Wuyi. People in the government are very particular about what they do, but I am not particular about it."
"Stop talking nonsense and kill him if you want." The second master closed his eyes and looked like he was waiting to die.
"Catch them and hand them over to the government, and let them take them back to Beijing, and then hand them over to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation." Su Sheng said, "Disaster relief is a big deal, but someone comes to rob them, no matter what the reason is, then
Everything must be reported to the court and left to the emperor to make a decision."
"I have a different idea." Lu Yi said calmly, "Ahead is the jurisdiction of Hubei City. We can interrogate him first, and then escort the second master back to the capital, while the others will stay in the prison in Hubei City to wait for the top.
Judgment. Otherwise there are dozens of them, and I don’t know what they might encounter on the way to Jingjing, and they are kidnapped, and then nothing can be asked."
"Listen to Master Lu." Fan Yuanxi said, "You can take care of the rest. I am going back to sleep."
Mo Wuwei frowned and complained, "What on earth is this prince here for?"
"Don't underestimate the prince, he is of great use." Lu Yi said calmly, "With him here, who would dare to act recklessly?"
After all, no one dares to offend a cruel prince who kills people whenever he wants.
