I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

Chapter 161 No 1 can survive under Xiao Li's flying knife!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Beifan decided to leave.

When I came, I was rushing, for fear of being a little late.

When I went back, I took a luxury carriage, and I went back leisurely all the way without being in a hurry.

However, along the way, I found a lot of migrants.

The clothes are sloppy, the face is yellow and the skin is thin, the eyes are dull, and many of them are barefoot. It seems that they have not eaten a full meal for a long time, nor have they slept well.

Mo Rushuang couldn't help but stopped a few refugees and asked, "Are you all from northern Hebei?"

The few refugees just nodded, didn't say anything, and immediately avoided them, as if they were a little afraid of Mo Rushuang.

So, Mo Rushuang stopped an older refugee and asked, "You are also from northern Hebei?"

"Yeah!" The man nodded numbly.

"Why do you want to leave your hometown, isn't it a good place to live there?" Mo Rushuang asked again.

"There are bandits everywhere, how do you want me to live? If I can survive, who would want to leave? Alas!" The other party shook his head and left with a sad face.

Mo Rushuang's heart also sank.

Guo Shaoshuai's heart was also very uncomfortable.

After all, it is their hometown, who would like their hometown to become like this?

Lin Beifan seemed to see what they were thinking and said, "It's not far from Jibei, why don't we turn around and have a look, anyway, we won't waste any time!"

"Thank you, son!" Mo Rushuang said in surprise.

Lin Beifan waved at the officials: "Change out of the official uniform and go to the northern Hebei to see!"

"Yes, Lord Jijiu!" The officials responded immediately.

When they came, they had been specially instructed by the Empress, and everything was done according to Lin Beifan's orders.

So, everyone put away their official uniforms and put on casual clothes.

Changed a road and headed to northern Hebei.

In less than half a day's journey, we have already entered the land of northern Hebei.

However, along the way, I saw more and more refugees, some went to Tangzhou, some went to other places.

Everyone's mood became heavy.

At this time, Mo Rushuang pointed to an empty village on the side of the road, and said in a deep voice: "I remember that half a year ago, my junior brother and I just passed by here! At that time, it was full of people, and chickens and dogs quarreled, but now it is empty. It's gone!"

"Yeah, we were still begging for a bowl of water at that time. The villagers here were very enthusiastic, but now I can't see anything!" Guo Shaoshuai said in a loss.

The crowd continued to move forward, and encountered several small villages, but as a result, there were no people, and even the fields were deserted.

The mood of the people is getting heavier and heavier.

"It seems that the rogue here is very serious!" Lin Beifan sighed.

"To be honest, this situation is indeed very serious! I have never seen such a situation before! It stands to reason that if such a big incident occurs, the local government will definitely send someone to deal with it! Even if it cannot be dealt with, it will report to the court and let the court. Come and deal with it! Then there is nothing now, which is really unbelievable!" said an accompanying official.

Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Master Wang, you can directly say that the officials and bandits colluded!"

The other party quickly waved his hand: "Master Jijiu, you can't talk nonsense about this!"

"It must be the government's inaction here, which led to the rampant rogues and the refugees! After I go back, I must report this matter to the Empress and Sister!" The little county master said righteously.

Just then, there was the sound of hooves in the distance.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a group of fierce men galloping on high-headed horses, kicking up a trail of dust, and in a short while they came to Lin Beifan and the others and surrounded them.

"Brothers, it looks like a fat sheep!"

"Look at this, it looks like a traveling son! Such a luxurious carriage, wearing such good clothes, and having so many followers, he must be very rich! We can add food tonight!"

"And there are two girls who are so beautiful, like fairies in the sky! Laozi is going to have a meat meal tonight!"

"Boss, you are finished, and so are the brothers!"

"Haha, everyone who sees it has a share!"

...

Their unbridled slander, completely ignored Lin Beifan and others.

"Protect Young Master!" All the officers around Lin Beifan drew their knives and guarded Lin Beifan.

Mo Rushuang and Guo Shaoshuai drew their swords and stared cautiously.

The little princess has no weapons, but her two small fists are clenched, her face is full of excitement, and she looks eager to try.

However, this group of robbers still smiled recklessly.

"Haha! You still want to resist?"

"That's interesting!"

"Indeed, I haven't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time!"

"I really don't know how high the sky is!"

...

The horse thief leader waved his hand and said loudly: "Little ones, do it! All the men are killed, and the women stay!"

"Kill!" The horse thieves shouted.

After a while, all the horse thieves fell to their knees tremblingly.

The leader of the horse thieves screamed loudly: "The hero spares his life, we were wrong, I should never, should never, should not have robbed you! Please give us a way to survive, we will never dare!"

Lin Beifan squatted down with a smile: "I have a few questions, I hope you can answer me honestly!"

"If I answer, can I save my life?" The horse thief leader was a little clever.

Lin Beifan nodded: "Yes! I believe in Buddhism the most. I am a merciful Buddha. As long as you can put down the butcher knife, the Buddha will forgive you! Amitabha!"

"Okay, if you have any questions, please ask!" The leader of the horse thief was a little overjoyed.

Lin Beifan asked: "I heard that a group of robbers appeared in northern Hebei, is that you?"

"That's right, it's us!" The horse thief leader nodded immediately.

Lin Beifan asked again, "How many people do you have in total?"

"This is a bit uncertain, I haven't counted it, there must be two or three thousand!" The horse thief leader said again.

Everyone listened, and their hearts were very heavy.

Two or three thousand horse thieves, such a huge number, has already caused turmoil in the whole place.

And it appeared out of nowhere, seemingly organized and premeditated.

But so far, the court has not received any news, the situation is serious.

Lin Beifan asked again, "Who is the master behind you?"

The horse thief leader shook his head: "I don't know!"

Lin Beifan was stunned: "Why don't you know, or who will give you orders?"

"Because, we are all in single-line contact! My boss is × ×, as for who the boss is, we don't know. He issued an order for us to grab it, then we went to grab it. The things we grabbed, except for Except for some of them to keep for themselves, the rest are all turned over!" The other party answered honestly.

"So obedient, why didn't you think about resisting?" Lin Beifan smiled.

The leader of the horse thief shivered: "We dare not! They have a lot of strong people, and any one of them can kill me! So let's work honestly, and drink spicy food!"

Lin Beifan asked a few more questions and got no valuable information.

"Master, that's all I know! Just let me go, I promise I'll never do it again! I'll kowtow to you now, kowtow to you..."

As he said that, he really kowtowed down, especially with no manners.

Other horse thieves follow suit.

Lin Beifan stood up: "Come on, they're worthless, kill them all!"

The horse thief leader was stunned: "Didn't you say that you would leave me alive?"

Lin Beifan nodded: "Yes, save your life!"

Horse thief leader: "Fuck!"

The horse thief leader said eagerly: "Didn't you say that if you put down the butcher knife, the Buddha will forgive me?"

Lin Beifan nodded here: "Yes! But forgive the fact that you are the Buddha, my mission is to send you to the West!"

Horse thief leader: "Fuck!"

"Do it!" Lin Beifan waved.

After a few knives fell, the horse thieves were all dead, and a set of fire was set on fire.

Then, the crowd moved on.

He actually encountered two gangs of horse thieves, and they were all killed.

Lin Beifan and others had to shake their heads and sigh. In just half a day, they encountered three gangs of horse thieves. No wonder the people in northern Hebei could not stay any longer, and could only run away as refugees.

Because if you don't run, there's really no way to survive!

That night, they spent the night in a deserted village.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the breeze is gentle, and it is very quiet.

Most of the people were asleep, and Lin Beifan sat on a stone table, drinking and admiring the moon.

Very elegant, seems to be waiting for someone.

At this moment, Mo Rushuang came over: "Young Master, there is something I can't figure out! You are resourceful and smart, can you solve the confusion in my heart?"

Lin Beifan nodded and smiled: "If you have any questions, just ask!"

"Master, who are the people behind this group of horse thieves, and what is their purpose?"

Lin Beifan smiled: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart!"

Mo Rushuang said painfully: "It shouldn't be him. He is kind-hearted and wise and martial. It is impossible for him to do such a thing!"

"But there seems to be no one except him!"

Lin Beifan tapped the stone table with his fingers: "After all, this is his territory. If such a big thing happened, is it reasonable to say that he doesn't know? So he must know, but after knowing it, he doesn't do anything, so there are only two left. There's a reason!"

"Which two reasons?" Mo Rushuang asked.

"First, the person behind the horse thief is too powerful, he can't afford to offend him!" Lin Beifan said, "However, there are very few such people! After all, he is someone who even wants the throne, and there are a few people in the world that he offends. Awesome?"

"Then only the second possibility remains!"

Lin Beifan laughed: "They're a gang, that's why they condone horse thieves so much!"

Mo Rushuang's face became more painful.

It seems that long-standing beliefs have collapsed and it is difficult to accept.

Lin Beifan stood up, put his hands on Mo Rushuang's thin shoulders, and said softly: "Rushuang, don't think so much, I'll give him a little more time, let the bullets fly for a while, and everything will come to light! You now Go back and have a good rest!"

"Okay, son!" Mo Rushuang nodded and went back.

At this time, because the three groups of horse thieves were lost at the same location, the horse thieves were alerted.

"Hungry Wolf, Tianhu, and White Bear haven't come back, something is wrong!"

"They are all in Wind County today!"

"It seems that something may have happened to them. Immediately send someone to investigate!"

The nearby horse thieves were dispatched immediately and found three piles of charred corpses, and the situation was immediately reported to ten.
