Chapter 333: Is the Chen family up to something?
Langya... this person is indeed causing trouble.
Lin Xiaofan frowned. He was lucky enough to escape, but now he dares to come back and look for trouble. This person must be removed this time, otherwise it will be a problem in the future.
But compared to Langya, he was more interested in the other four heads. If the third master knows internal strength, can the rest of them also do it?
"Except for that Langya, what are the origins of the other four heads of your family?"
Lin Xiaofan then asked.
"Sir, I am the first group of people to go up the mountain, but I don't know much about the other four masters. The four of them are sworn brothers. The first master and the second master are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very intelligent. Our mountain masters Most things are decided by the two of them. The third and fourth masters usually take people out to burn, kill and loot."
One of the rogues spoke.
Lin Xiaofan's eyes swept over the bandit, who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, not looking like he was lying at all.
In other words, these four leaders, especially the first two, do not seem to be simple characters.
"Then tell me, among the four masters, who is the strongest when it comes to martial arts?"
Lin Xiaofan said.
"This... the third master and the fourth master are both equal to each other. We are all scared when we see the swords swinging. The second master looked thin and scholarly. But once, he was attacked by more than a dozen people with knives. In the end, not only was he a little bit No one was hurt, but he knocked a dozen people to the ground."
"As for the big boss, I have never seen him take action. But the look in his eyes makes people feel scared."
The rogues answered quickly.
Lin Xiaofan felt even more uneasy, feeling that this matter was not simple.
Those four leaders should all have internal strength. Where did their internal strength come from? Could it be that they were bandits raised by a big family?
But those families with internal strength are all capable of covering the sky with one hand in Daqian country. Which one would take the risk of letting a member of the family become a bandit just for a little food?
Unless, they are here to cause trouble.
"Lin Xiaofan, I have taken care of the third master, and let the fifth master named Langya run away. Also, we killed a total of eighty-six bandits in this battle."
The maid in pink clothes spoke, she was somewhat impressed by this.
Before the third leader died, he asked the Wolf Ya to save him. However, Lang Ya ignored it and ran away.
"One hundred of us came this time, which means a dozen of them escaped."
The gangster on the side quickly added, hoping to win some favor from Lin Xiaofan.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. He could issue a wanted order for Wolf Fang and spread it throughout several nearby counties. With Lang Ya's conspicuous bald head and scars on his face, he could easily be recognized. As a result, he couldn't survive around here and had no choice but to go back to the mountain.
At that time, it would be a good idea to find a way to spread the news about him betraying his teammates and sow discord.
"Tell me about the things on your mountain. From the time you entered the mountain until now, don't leave anything behind."
Lin Xiaofan said.
This group of bandits has grown to more than 400 people in a short period of time. The four leaders are all good at internal martial arts. There must be someone behind them who is adding fuel to the fire. This matter is enough to attract other attention.
"Brother Lin, did you hear what happened to Song Shang and the bandits?"
Zhao Shan walked in hurriedly. Song Shang and others came back with great fanfare, and the matter soon spread in the city. After she heard about it, she rushed back as soon as possible.
"Exactly, there is something fishy about this matter. Each of the four leading bandits has practiced internal skills, and two of them have quick minds. They would have a bright future if they joined any big family, but they chose to become bandits. "
"Just let this gangster talk. See if you can find some clues."
Lin Xiaofan glanced at the two bandits. They quickly lowered their heads and said:
"To be honest, I was helpless. At that time, our village was robbed several times by bandits. Later, the bandits came again. We really couldn't hand over the food, so they robbed us people up the mountain."
"They first used us as coolies and asked us to build houses. Then they took us out to rob and even asked us to kill people. After many times, we also knew that there was only a dead end, so we were forced to join them."
"Many brothers on the mountain were forced to become bandits in this way. Once, a dozen brothers wanted to join forces to rebel, and the target was the second boss. Because the second boss was thin and looked like a scholar, he should not be able to fight. At the same time, he is also highly regarded by the boss, and if he can be subdued, he can use this to blackmail others."
"They took advantage of a large group of people going out to rob and when the mountain was relatively empty, a dozen people swarmed up with knives. The rest of the people saw this and did not interfere. In the end, those dozen people were subdued by the second master. "
"Later, all those dozen people were executed, and no one dared to rebel from now on."
"One more thing, our eldest master and second master are very fond of books. Every time, he will send people to pretend to be ordinary people and buy some books back. He will also choose some strong ones and teach them archery."
"On weekdays, the first and second masters are in the house, seeming to be discussing something. The third and fourth masters lead people and plunder everywhere. We always bring fifty brothers, plus two As a leader, even if the city guards encounter us, they will only take a detour."
"But sir, we are all forced. If we could live a stable life, how could we abandon our wives and children and go into the mountains to become bandits?"
After the two bandits finished speaking, they kowtowed again.
Lin Xiaofan and Zhao Shan looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
This group of bandits were very clever in their methods, and in order to expand the manpower on the mountain, they also resorted to persecution.
You know, ordinary bandits don't want to have too many people, because firstly, they will eat a lot and secondly, they will be easily exposed. When there are about a hundred people together, the expansion will stop.
As for the methods of this group of people, it seems that they are not turning into bandits because of their lack of food, but rather are engaging in sabotage.
Also, where did their internal strength come from?
"Isn't this the Chen family's fault?"
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and guessed.
Sooner or later, Qingzhou County will become the territory of the Zhao family, and it is somewhat possible that the Chen family will come here to cause damage.
Hearing this, Zhao Shan nodded slightly and then asked:
"Could you describe it more carefully? What do the four heads look like?"
The rogue bandit thought for a moment and then said:
"The eldest brother looks about thirty years old. He is capable and has a jade sword on his waist. His eyes are very sharp. The second brother looks like a scholar. He looks no more than 20 years old. He is fair and has no beard. , he usually speaks in a formal manner, and I can’t even understand him.”
"The third and fourth sons are all tall and burly, with beards. They like to carry big swords and are usually bloodthirsty."
