Chapter 367 The Female Bandit Leader Confesses
The government posted the final result of the case and announced it widely, which attracted countless people to come and watch. After seeing the notice, people exclaimed in amazement!
"What? You actually said that beautiful lady was a bandit!"
"How is that possible! I saw that beautiful lady with my own eyes. She was rescued from the water and looked very pitiful. There was not a trace of banditry on her!"
"You don't know, it's because that beautiful lady offended someone she shouldn't have offended!"
"Oh? There is such a thing! Tell us about it!"
……
For a moment, a large crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board, talking a lot and refusing to leave for a long time.
It turned out that although the female bandit leader had been caught, she had her own way of escaping.
However, what she didn't expect was that the county magistrate was so cunning and treacherous!
Not only did they arrest her, but they also followed the clues and captured many of her brothers and put them in jail!
If these people are not rescued as soon as possible after being captured, the consequences will be disastrous.
Even if she could leave by herself, what about her brothers!
"I can only guess about 80% of what happened between you two. You don't have to look at me like that. I have been in this position for many years. I have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. There are certainly people who are smarter than you."
The county magistrate looked at the female bandit leader in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He thought to himself: This woman is quite courageous. She can remain so calm in front of me.
After hearing what the county magistrate said, the female bandit leader pondered in her heart. She couldn't help but lower her head and ponder, trying to distinguish the truth from the other party's words.
The county magistrate's words put her in a dilemma.
If the other party had really guessed most of the truth, then no matter how she argued, it would be difficult to deceive this shrewd county magistrate.
However, if the other party is just bluffing and trying to get the truth from her, once she tells the truth, wouldn't she fall into the trap set by the other party?
After careful consideration, the female bandit leader decided to remain silent for the time being.
She knew very well that talking too much would lead to mistakes. Instead of taking the risk of speaking, she decided to wait and see what the county magistrate would do next.
When the county magistrate saw that the female bandit leader did not respond, the smile on his face deepened.
He knew in his heart that his words had played a certain role, but he was not in a hurry to press the issue. Instead, he wanted to give the other party some time to think and weigh the issue.
"Whether you believe it or not, I know that you are not a wicked person, otherwise why would I allow you to stay in that mountain for three years!" said the county magistrate calmly.
The female bandit leader was shocked. She never expected that the county magistrate already knew everything about their situation.
They lived in seclusion in the mountains and had always kept a low profile. But the other party even knew how long they had lived in the mountains!
These words hit the female bandit leader's heart like a heavy hammer, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
Her originally firm heart began to waver, and she couldn't help but start to doubt whether her previous judgment was correct.
Did the county magistrate really have enough evidence to deal with them?
At this moment, the female bandit leader felt an unprecedented panic rising in her heart.
His hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.
Seeing that she remained silent, the county magistrate continued, "You only want some silver. Am I wrong? It's not a serious crime, but you shouldn't have offended me at this critical moment! When the Puguang County Inspection Team is investigating everywhere, you do this to force me to settle the matter privately for that brat. You are really smart! Humph!"
Speaking of this, it is still difficult to suppress the anger in my heart!
If he had not secretly sent people to keep an eye on this woman, he would never have thought that this person was the leader hiding in the mountains.
Fortunately, although the other side has a large number of people, they are not a powerful force.
He didn't know any military tactics and didn't have any decent weapons, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to capture the woman.
But even so, they were still ambushed on the way down the mountain, and many yamen runners were injured.
Fortunately, they won in the end and captured many bandits.
"I have not yet reported this bandit suppression campaign to the imperial court. What you did was not right in the first place. If you tell the truth, I will have time to investigate the bandit case properly."
The female bandit leader sighed helplessly: "Since the people are in the hands of the master, I will tell you everything I know. I just hope that the master can see clearly that they are just pitiful people. They have not done anything evil, and they should not be labeled as bandits and beheaded directly."
The imperial court naturally turned pale at the mention of bandits. Anyone caught in any region would be beheaded!
The reason why they chose to live near Lin County was naturally because the local official was a good official.
And they really hadn't done anything bad. They were all people fleeing famine. On their way south, their wives, children and the elderly died of illness or starvation.
Only a few people with strong physical strength managed to survive.
They had no fixed place to live along the way, and they used the ground as mats and covered themselves with leaves and mud. They had no food and could only eat tree bark and grass roots, and sometimes some insects to fill their stomachs. By the time they arrived here, almost all of them were sick, dirty and smelly, and emitting white pus. Even begging was despised.
Hiding in the woods was simply because they were afraid of scaring the local people.
The female bandit leader had been learning martial arts from her master since she was a child. She only came down from the mountains and entered the secular world after her master passed away.
Then he met this group of poor people and had to bring them back to the mountains.
The official in charge of Lin County is indeed a good official.
Three years ago, when these refugees suddenly appeared in the mountains, we just paid more attention to them but did not expel or arrest them.
Fortunately, they did behave themselves and posed no threat to the local people.
However, they have always lived in the mountains, with no identity and no income, and have always been a destabilizing factor.
This time, since their leader had committed a crime, dealing with them in one fell swoop was an unexpected gain.
"As long as you cooperate, I can consider it as your voluntary surrender and give you a lighter punishment. I will also give your brothers an identity! Since they have lived here for three years, I can consider giving them household registration! There is a shelter in the city, which can provide them with a place to stay for half a year. Whether they can find a place to work depends on their own ability. After half a year, you can find a way to rent a house together or live separately. Whether you have a place to go or not, you must move out of the shelter. If someone commits evil in this town, don't worry about me punishing him more severely!"
"What?" The female bandit leader couldn't believe what she heard. They provided them with a place to live and even a household registration!
In this way, they will no longer be wandering people with no fixed place to live!
"Thank you, sir!" The female bandit leader's gratitude was beyond words. She kowtowed continuously to express her deep respect and gratitude.
She knew very well that this gentleman was a rare good official, but she had never dared to expect that he would be so generous in accommodating so many people.
At this moment, the female bandit leader was filled with mixed feelings.
She knew she deserved to be arrested, after all, she was the one who first planned to murder others.
She has always been in a deep contradiction.
Sometimes she felt like she was doing everything right, small acts of evil just to achieve a greater good.
What's the point of her plotting against a man in the government? The other party won't lose a piece of meat because of it.
As long as we can get that silver, we can help our brothers in the mountains survive a few cold winters and avoid starving or freezing to death.
However, sometimes, she felt that she had failed to live up to her master's teachings.
The master once taught her to uphold justice and morality, but now, she has deviated from these principles. In her inner struggle, she feels extremely painful and confused.
"I am willing to confess!"
