Generally, the sound of horseshoes is quite chaotic. After all, animals run fast or slow without any rules, but the sound from far to near is uniform, which can only show that they have been specially trained.
Even the horse ran so neatly, let alone the person riding on the horse.
The face of the head of the family changed. At that time, the first thought was that they were being ambushed and plotted against.
No wonder these four people dared to take such a blatant trail. It turned out that they were not ordinary people, maybe they were imperial envoys sent by the higher authorities to suppress bandits.
The four took the lead to explore the way, and there was a well-trained team behind them.
It may be too late to run now, the only thing to do is to capture the people in the carriage first, and use them as a threat to negotiate with the government.
They can't beat a team of officers and soldiers, can they even beat these four little dolls
The head of the family made a decisive decision and shouted: "Catch them for me!"
Shi Qing has never been in charge of force, she and Mi He Yaqing are in charge of watching the carriage, as long as they make sure they don't go out to cause trouble.
The robbers rushed forward, Yunzhi was about to go down with a green sword in his hand, when he suddenly remembered something, he lowered his head and took off the agate wrench on his left thumb.
"Shiqing." Yun Zhi called to her.
Shi Qing looked at him suspiciously, Yun Zhi lowered his head and grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand up, carefully put the agate ring on her thumb, "Help me put it away."
Such a good thing can't be bumped.
Shi Qing was slightly taken aback, Yun Zhi had already tiptoed the horse's back and stood beside the carriage, with a posture of "living and dying with the carriage".
The robbers are not well-trained, and they don't have any rules or skills in fighting, they all rely on numbers and brute force.
They shouted and shouted to fight and kill, but in fact their fighting power was mediocre.
Yun Zhijian didn't even get out of its sheath, like waving a fly, he knocked out the people who came up to the carriage.
The first leader and the second leader did not join the battlefield, they waited for their subordinates to consume Yun Zhi's physical strength, and then looked for an opportunity to enter the battlefield.
"This boy is not like an ordinary man. He has some kung fu skills. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with." The second head was sweating, and he kept wiping his sleeves.
She felt that the situation was particularly unfavorable to them, especially the sound of horseshoes stepping on the eardrums, and the pressure alone was already frightening.
"Eldest sister, why don't we run away first?" said the second-in-charge, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"What are you running for? If you can run, the monk can't run to the temple. Let me return to this doll today." The head of the house spat on his palm, clenched the handle of the big knife in his hand, but headed towards Shi Qing who was on the carriage. .
Taking advantage of her subordinates to distract Yun Zhi, she took down the girl first.
She had noticed just now that as long as the girl in red was caught, the boy over there would definitely stop.
The second master's martial arts were not good enough, so he didn't dare to move forward, and watched the first master go up with a knife, but he slowly backed away, looking for a chance to escape.
The boss thinks very well, but with this little manpower under her command, she can't even distract Yun Zhi.
From the corner of Yun Zhi's eyes, he saw her holding the knife and going towards the other side of him. With one hand propped on the horse's back, she turned over and jumped, and landed lightly in front of the head.
He held the sword in one hand, resisting the big knife that the head master slashed towards the carriage with both hands.
The back of the knife is full of old marks, but the blade is extremely sharp, it can be seen that he has been with the master for some years.
Thinking of how many passers-by had died under her hands after she had occupied the hill for so long, Yun Zhi's eyes flashed, and he put his foot on the opponent's abdomen, widening the distance between the two.
The master's reaction was also quick, and he took advantage of the trend to retreat, and then stopped his retreat with his toes touching the ground, and then he slashed after accumulating strength.
However, Yunzhi is like a light swallow, extremely flexible, and the ghostly figure is always guarding around the carriage, so that the master can't find a chance.
There was still circling over there, but the second in charge took Daxi and Sanqiao to run towards the path.
"Hurry up, let's run while they are stalling." The second master is obese, and he has to stop every two steps to catch his breath before continuing.
In the morning of April and May, even though it wasn't too hot, she was sweating all over.
Daxi and Sanqiao each held her arm, almost dragging her forward.
The three of them kept looking back, thankful in their hearts that the martial arts boy was entangled, which gave them a chance to escape.
"Elder Sister is confused and insists on dying. We can only retreat first and find a chance to avenge her later."
The second leader even said that he was running away so grandly.
Until the three of them turned their heads to look forward, they saw a master and a servant suddenly appearing in front of them.
The handsome and flamboyant one was standing with her chest folded, and the girl next to her was holding a mace, and she just stopped in the middle of the road carelessly, unexpectedly she didn't know when she would appear.
The three of them trembled in fright, and the second leader stepped back half a step behind Daxi and Sanqiao, signaling them to go up with his eyes.
This girl doesn't seem to know martial arts, she is not their opponent at all.
Naihe Daxi and Sanqiao stood still as if they were dumbfounded.
Shi Qing asked leisurely, "You three, where are you going?"
She stretched out her hand towards Mihe, and Mihe swiftly handed the mace into her palm.
Shi Qing approached slowly with a mace in his hand.
Daxi and Sanqiao just saw her familiar movement, and their arms started to ache, and their legs seemed to be swinging, and they couldn't think of desperately resisting.
Erdangjia stretched out his hand and pushed them, Daxi and Sanqiao knelt on the ground directly, begging for mercy, "We were wrong, we shouldn't run."
The memory of being captured by Shi Qing's master and servant last time is really deep.
"It's a worthless thing." The second master raised his foot and kicked the two of them.
She held back her breath, with a smile on her face, "What a coincidence, we can meet here."
Shi Qing shook his head, "Unfortunately, I've been with you for a long time, it's because you walked too slowly that you didn't notice me."
She held the mace in her hand, looked down at Daxi and Sanqiao who were on the ground, "Should I beat you up and tie you back, or did you take her back?"
Shi Qing raised his mace and pointed it at the second leader.
The sharp spikes on the stick approached the door, very close to his nose, the second master gasped on the spot, his face turned pale with fright, his round body trembled with Shi Qing's movements.
She retracted her chin desperately, looked sideways at Daxi and Sanqiao, "Trash, are we robbers or is she a robber? The two of you are afraid of her alone!"
Afraid, afraid of death.
This person is not only ruthless, but also first-rate in stabbing people's hearts.
It is simply a double blow to the body and mind!
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you choose?"
Daxi and Sanqiao chose the second option without any hesitation.
The two of them got up quickly, one of them was supporting the second leader's arm, how they dragged it over, and how they dragged it back regardless of her resistance.
The second master almost didn't die of anger on the spot!
Shi Qing is like driving a sheep, walking behind with Mi He.
When the few people went back, the Royal Forest Army had already arrived.
Twelve people dressed in uniform clothes, riding horses of the same color and size, just formed a circle like this, watching Yunzhi beating a dozen of them by himself.
There were originally hundreds of people, but now they are lying on the ground in disorder, and these are the only ones who can barely stand up.
Seeing Shi Qing coming back, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army immediately got off his horse and came over, "Master Shi, this..."
They thought that Shi Qing was in trouble, and ran desperately, but when they came to see them, they were completely useless.
Yunzhi picked one hundred, it was no problem at all.
The head was panting tiredly, he clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and the tip of the knife stuck in the ground, unable to fight any more. If you look closely, you can still see her arms trembling uncontrollably.
It's not that I'm afraid, but that the strength I swung was rebounded and shocked.
Yun Zhi looks thin and thin, but it's not in vain if he puts all his strength together.
He raised his foot and kicked the last robber away, held a green sword in his hand and drew a sword flower, and the tip of the sword with its sheath rested on the head's neck.
Shi Qing couldn't hold back, and applauded on the spot, "Good! Beautiful!"
The Imperial Forest Army was watching and studying just now, and when they heard Shi Qing taking the lead, they dared to follow suit and shout:
"good!"
"Good fight!"
"pretty!"
It should have been something to be proud of, but Yunzhi found it strange.
He glared at Shi Qing, Shi Qing gave him a thumbs up with both hands, his eyes were bright and smiling, he praised him sincerely.
Yun Zhi's eyes flickered and he looked away, his ears turned red quietly.
The head of the family was suppressed by Yunzhi, and had no strength to resist, and the second head of the family was dragged back by Daxi and San Qiao, just pushing him to the side of the head of the house.
Shi Qing had them tied up.
With so many people, the Royal Forest Army can be considered useful.
Like a string of pearls, a thick rope is used to string each other. Only the arms of the first and second masters are cut behind their backs and tied up.
Yun Zhi put away his sword and walked to Shi Qing's side, and flattened his palm towards her, "My finger."
When Shi Qing got off from the back of the carriage just now, he was afraid that Yun Zhi would be worried, so he gave him a wink.
Knowing that she would not do anything unsure, Yun Zhi nodded and allowed her to chase after her.
"Keep it well, I'll put it on for you." Shi Qing took off the agate ring and put it back on Yun Zhi's left thumb.
The robbers were caught, and Shi Qing's favorite part finally came——
Loot loot!
Shi Qing asked people to push the first and second masters up the mountain, and sent the Imperial Forest Army to inspect the cottage from the inside out.
One is to see if there are any remaining robbers, and the other is to see if there are any victims.
The two sisters have ruled the mountain for so many years, and indeed they have robbed a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and now they are all taken out of the warehouse by the Imperial Forest Army and placed in the yard.
The male family members who were snatched up crowded together and huddled under the eaves, looking this way timidly.
Yun Zhi glanced over there, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Shi Qing was more like a robber in their eyes.
Shiqing counts the gold, silver and jewels, and asks Mihe to take out the account book and register them.
"Converted to a total of four thousand five hundred and sixty taels."
Shi Qing clicked his tongue, "It's quite rich."
"But now, it's all confiscated~"
"You just wait in the prison and wait for the end of the prison. I will definitely arrange the money for you clearly."
The head of the family was standing by the side under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, twisting and struggling uncontrollably, staring at Shi Qing, gnashing his teeth with hatred, and said sharply: "I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!"
When Shi Qing heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and responded, "You said this, don't find the wrong person when the time comes!"
She pointed at herself with the backhand, and opened her mouth to announce her family name.
The leader of the Imperial Forest Army frowned, not agreeing very much.
After all, there are so many robbers, it's hard to say that there are no fish caught, or they will come out to seek revenge in the future, which will be troublesome.
Even Yun Zhi looked at Shi Qing, only to hear her raise her voice and say:
"Grandma, I don't change my name when I am going, and I don't change my surname when I sit down, so is Li Zi in the Li Mansion in the capital!"
It was the rebellious girl who cheated on her mother.
"Don't miss the door when you come to the capital. My mother, Li Yunqing, is not a small character. Do you hear me clearly? Li Yunqing from the Li family."
The leader of the Royal Forest Army, "..."
She said how could adults play cards according to the routine when they were young!
The head of the family immediately began to speak harshly, "Li Zi, right? Just wait, I will definitely destroy your entire family of Li and tear your mother Li Yunqing to pieces!"
Shi Qing nodded perfunctorily, "All right, all right, as long as you're happy."
Anyway, her surname is not Li.
At this time, Li Yunqing, who was far away in the capital, sneezed for no reason, always feeling a cold wind seeping out from nowhere, blowing her hairs.
Let's talk about Shi Qing's side. After she counted the money, she sent people to question the victims.
It was not easy for these men. Some were forced to rush up the mountain. After a long time, they had to bear with it and even had children.
People like these have complicated feelings towards Shi Qing and others.
I am grateful to them for saving me, but also hate them for ruining my already stable life.
Shi Qing asked people to ask clearly, if they are willing to leave, each person will receive fifty taels of silver per head as a source of income in the future. For those who are unwilling to leave, this cottage will be left for them to settle down, and people will be sent to visit regularly in the future to avoid new bandit nests.
"If you are willing to leave, I will let the local government office help you change your name and start a new life. Everything here is just a nightmare, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."
At this time, the Yamen is needed. Compared with suppressing the bandits, the aftermath is the key.
Shi Qing sighed softly, "Go back."
The grateful male family members looked at each other, Qi Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Qing, and shouted, "Thank you Master Li!"
"..."
grass!
When Shi Qing covered his face with his hands, he felt sour and refreshing as if he was lifting a rock and hitting his own foot.
The leader of the Imperial Forest Army smiled smugly beside him, and even Yun Zhi turned his face away slightly, holding his forehead with one hand and raising the corner of his mouth.
Shi Qing took a deep breath, "Don't thank me, it was this Young Master Yun who rescued you. I am a relatively low-key person, so don't mention me in the future, just mention him."
Everyone shouted again, "Thank you Yun Shaoxia, Yun Shaoxia is a good man!"
Seeing this scene, Yunzhi stretched out his hand to help them, but he didn't know which one to help first.
"It's my job to be a chivalrous man. Get up quickly and don't kowtow."
Yun Zhi felt cramped, but a warm feeling slowly emerged in his heart, as if he had done something remarkable.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be a hero.
After dividing the money, there is still a lot left.
Yun Zhi looked at Shi Qing, stood where he was, and twirled his fingers.
It stands to reason that even if Shi Qing dismissed all the money from the Imperial Forest Army and embezzled it privately, it wouldn't matter to others.
However, Shi Qing handed over the account book and these boxes to the Imperial Forest Army, "Escort them back to Beijing to fill the treasury."
These gold and silver belonged to innocent passers-by. They may have lost their lives, and their names and addresses could not be found, but the gold and silver were confiscated for disaster relief, which can be regarded as doing something for them.
The leader of the Imperial Forest Army was startled for a moment, then cupped his fists towards Shiqing, "Yes!"
They carried the boxes back to Beijing in batches.
Shi Qing sat on the stone table next to him, pointing his toes to the ground, watching eagerly.
It was all hers.
Yun Zhi walked to Shi Qing's side, lowered his eyes and asked her, "Why don't you stay?"
Although Shi Qing stared at the boxes being carried away, he said: "It's not mine, how can I take it."
She has always been stingy and only stings at her own, and she deserves what is greedy for money. Naturally, she doesn't touch things like this that don't belong to her.
People always have a line that they can't even touch, so that they won't lose their original intention and nature in the officialdom.
But Shi Qing was still hungry.
So much money, so much!
Seeing her pitiful expression, Yun Zhi smiled a little.
He raised his hand to his lips and coughed softly, pulled a pearl from his belt with drooping eyes, put it in his palm and handed it to Shi Qing, "I'll give you this, can you feel better?"
Shi Qing turned his head to look at him, Yun Zhi was so nervous for a moment that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he was embarrassed to look at her.
He didn't know how to coax Shi Qing, so he said, "In the future, we will give you all the money we make Huanhuan."
Qian Huanhuan, a sheep, has already been bald, but he still misses it.
Shi Qing lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to pinch the pearl in Yun Zhi's hand, held it in his palm, and called him softly, "Yun Zhi."
"Huh?" Yun Zhi looked down at her.
Shi Qing suddenly raised his head, put his hand on his shoulder, pulled the person who was standing upright to bend slightly, tilted his head and kissed his soft and warm lips.
Shi Qing Taohua's eyes were full of smiles, "Thank you."
