Shen Mufeng coughed behind him as a warning, asking Chu Zongyuan to restrain himself and not lead Chu Chu astray.

And the excitement in the field continued.

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the bribes!"

After the knife-wielding bandit finished shouting in a rough voice, he looked at the other side's mule carts full of goods, thought about it and added a few more words.

"I don't ask for much. I'll let you go after you leave two hundred taels of silver. Give me the money!"

The minions surrounding him also echoed loudly.

"Yes, give me the money!"

"Give it to you and you can leave."

"That's right. I promise to let you go if you pay me."

"If you don't give me the money, our boss will be very fierce!"

"How about giving me a little more..."

Every word you say to each other makes it even more fun to listen to.

Hahaha! ! !

The yamen runners and escorts laughed even louder.

Really, if the other party hadn't appeared in a different way, just by listening to these words, people who didn't know would have thought they were begging.

Wiping away tears of laughter, Wang Da received a signal from the county lieutenant and quickly stepped forward to challenge him.

"You little thieves, didn't you practice your skills in your den before going out to rob people? Why are you rushing out now to embarrass yourself?

Hahaha, which village are you from?

There are eleven villages along the Dazhong Mountains, and the closest one is the Black Wind Village. Unfortunately, I have dealt with Niu Ben, the fourth leader of the Black Wind Village, several times.

Why don't you ask Niu Si to come over and talk to me?"

As the head of a county yamen runner, Wang Da was just a small-time character in the eyes of the officials. But in the eyes of these scoundrels, the runner who dealt with officials every day was definitely a big shot.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the bandits gathered together and began to whisper to each other.

"This guy said he knew Fourth Uncle. What should Erya do? Or should we let them go?"

The skinny bandit looked at a loss, and the bandit with a knife glared at him.

"Call second brother!"

"Brother, what Xiao Cui'er said is right. Why don't we just let them go? If they really rob someone we know, it will be so embarrassing. If the news gets out, won't it ruin the reputation of our Black Wind Village?"

Some clever kids changed their words quickly, but they also agreed with their friends. Others expressed their opinions one after another, some nodded in agreement and some disagreed.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Niu Erya clenched the machete in her hand, looked at the group of fat sheep opposite, and then thought about the miserable situation of her own family who were about to run out of food.

He gritted his teeth and refused.

"Who is Niu Si? I don't know him! Don't try to make friends with me, it won't work. Even if the king of heaven comes today, you will have to leave money for passage!"

Seeing this stubborn look, Wang Da sighed with regret. Originally, considering his friendship with Niu Lao Si, he wanted to leave these guys a way out.

But if they themselves are not sensible, then they can't blame anyone else.

Since literary methods don’t work, let’s try physical methods.

After all, he was already at this age. In this situation, why would he bother the county lieutenant to give him orders? He turned around and drew his saber from the mule cart, and called out to the little bastards under his command.

"Brothers, copy the guy!"

"Okay!"

The group of strong men all drew out their large, shining knives and faced the group of bandits, gaining an advantage in momentum.

"Sister Erya, I'm scared."

Wang Cui'er was trembling as she held the knife in her hand, her voice was full of tears. The situation of her friends around her was similar to hers.

Niu Erya herself began to tremble in her heart.

Didn't her father say that iron weapons were generally strictly controlled by the government, and ordinary people didn't have many weapons at home? These people were not bandits, so where did they get so many swords? !

"Don't move!"

Niu Erya shouted anxiously, then steadied her throat and continued shouting in a rough voice.

"Since we are all brothers in the underworld, we are not the kind of people who don't follow the rules. You can go now."

When she said this, she felt her heart was bleeding. She had been hiding here for three days with her brothers and sisters, but she didn't even get a penny.

In this cold weather, there were not many people on the road. But the Black Wind Village had a rule that thieves should not touch the poor, kind, or pitiful people.

The day before yesterday, we ran into the famous person in Lingqiu County, Mr. Zhao, and his family passed by here. Niu Erya and her group remembered the teachings of their elders and readily accepted a bag of steamed buns from them and waved goodbye to let them go. As a result, they froze for a whole day and no one came over.

They got up early yesterday, waited for a long time and finally waited for a group of people to come. Then they jumped out to stop them. Wow!

It turned out to be a group of orphans and widows whose husbands had died. They returned to their hometown in misery to seek refuge with their clan. This was in line with their broken rule of not harming pitiful people.

In the end, not only did they fail to rob any money, they also got five or six steamed buns instead, which made the woman leave in tears.

When she came here this morning, Niu Erya was already ruthless in her heart. No matter who she intercepted today, she had to make them leave money to buy their way through! Otherwise, the people in their Black Wind Village would become the first group of bandits to starve to death!

But who could have thought wow?

These people are actually more like bandits than them? !

He sniffed hard, trying to hold back the tears of grievance, and then he stiffened his neck and shouted loudly in an angry voice.

"Let's go, let's go!"

I really don't want to see you anymore!

So hungry...

The other party's obviously unreliable so-called robbery had long aroused Chen Lingfang's suspicion. He was always careful, and just now he looked carefully and found something surprising.

Although the group of bandits on the opposite side were dressed quite realistically, a closer look revealed that they were all half-grown children, both boys and girls.

How is this going?

He waved his hands to dismiss his men, took two steps forward and looked carefully at the bandit in the lead, and frowned after a moment of sudden realization. This bandit who had just been teased by him was actually a half-grown girl?

He turned his eyes away uncomfortably and coughed twice before asking in a deep voice.

"Who are you? You are so young and you don't do your job. How dare you come to this desolate mountain to rob people?"

Niu Erya turned her head and looked at him, snorted coldly with displeasure, and sprayed him with some offensive words without hesitation.

"Just leave as soon as I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions? Why do you care that you live on the edge of a cliff? Go, go, go, don't delay our work!"

After venting his frustration angrily, he waved his hands dejectedly behind him, and with a frustrated look on his face, he was ready to turn around and lie down in his cave, dragging his machete.
