When the four robbers were holding their feet on the ground and crying out in pain, Shen Zhao came out of the shadows, untied the belts on their bodies, and tied up several people together with Yin Youtang and escorted them to the official mansion.

The reason why he only picked one hamstring for each bandit was so that they could still walk, and if both of them were broken, wouldn't it take them effort to carry them away.

But at first, several bandits did not cooperate, and while crying out in pain, their eyes were blank, and they seemed to be looking for an opportunity to escape.

The sword in Shen Zhao's hand leaned against the neck of the robber at the head: "If you don't want to die, hurry up, the government said that there is no limit to life or death, and I can still exchange your corpse for a bounty." ”

The bandit leader smiled awkwardly, and immediately didn't dare to think about anything else, stood up and said, "A good man spares his life, do you want money?" You see, if you arrest us and go to the government, you can earn forty taels at most, and the dog official may not give it to you. You let us go, and we'll give you a hundred taels. ”

These people are still quite good at business, and they regard Shen Zhao and them as bandits like them.

Before Shen Zhao could speak, Yin Youtang was angry first.

"Who wants your stinky money? You have stolen all this money from innocent people and passers-by! It is also because of your rebellion that the people of this nearby village have been displaced because of you! ”

The bandit leader suddenly laughed: "Little brother, our money stinks, is the government's money fragrant?" We are bandits, and we rob the money of the children of rich families, and we don't touch those little people who don't have much oil and water. But the government is different, whether it is poor or rich, they all change their tricks to collect money, isn't this just grabbing money with different overt eyes? ”

Yin Youtang gritted his teeth: "You are strong!" How can Dayong be so mediocre? Most of the government is clear! The taxes collected are also to raise the army and defend the country! ”

Several bandits laughed non-stop: "In the past, when there was a spy bureau, there were people secretly investigating the official mansion, and there were indeed a lot of Qingshui Yamen, but since Shen Zhao is gone, the spy bureau is scattered, and those official mansions are like wild horses that have lost their stiffness, and they are more bandits than bandits!" ”

Another bandit also answered: "Yes, in fact, I was an honest person in this nearby village a month ago, but it was the government that suddenly increased the agricultural tax, and we were not allowed to live a stable life in the winter, so we had to come out to be bandits." Who wouldn't want to be stable if they could be stable? ”

When Song Beibei heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhao, and then asked the bandit suspiciously: "Shen Zhao has only been around for a month, and the spy bureau has only been disbanded for a long time, as for the chaos like you said?" ”

The bandit shook his head with a smile: "Look at the fact that you are not very old, you are really naïve, you can go to Spring City to have a look!" ”

The bandit leader also said quietly: "This month has been a earth-shaking change. ”

The three of them were silent for a moment and made a unanimous decision to take these robbers to Spring City.

Compared to these bandits, they are still willing to believe in the government.

When they arrived in the city, it was already late at night.

The street was empty, and there were not even some lights on the side of the road, but fortunately the moonlight was good tonight, and the road could be seen clearly.

Shen Zhao had investigated the prefect of Chuncheng, so he was also very familiar with the Yamen of Chuncheng, and soon found the location of the Yamen.

He knocked on the door for a few moments, but no one opened.

The bandit leader said with a mocking face: "Shaoxia, I told you a long time ago, now the government is not much better than the bandits, and you still expect him to be the master of the people in the middle of the night?" Come on! If you continue to knock on, you will make people angry, and they will come out and ask you for money! ”

Song Beibei thought for a while and said, "What he said is right, if this Spring City prefect is really mediocre, it won't be good for us to knock on the door in the middle of the night to provoke him." ”

Shen Zhao shook his head: "No." ”

He checked the prefect of Chuncheng and knew that this person had some minor problems, but it was definitely not bad.

He knocked twice more, but still no one opened the door, Shen Zhao took a step back, raised his foot, and simply kicked the door open.

With a "boom", the gate collapsed.

The people in the yamen were late: "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Shen Zhao recognized this person as Lord Wu, the prefect of Spring City, and directly pushed the three bandits in front of him.

Song Beibei immediately stretched out his hand: "My lord, we saw the notice posted by the yamen to catch the bandits for ten taels of silver, and today we caught four bandits and came over, give the silver quickly." ”

The adult took a closer look at the four men who had been tied up, and he had been fighting the bandits for some time at night, and naturally recognized them at a glance.

But even if these three people really caught the bandits, he wouldn't give them silver!

He snorted coldly and said: "You kicked the door of the yamen, and the official was already very kind to you without asking you to lose money, and you even dared to stretch out your hand and ask us for silver?" And who knows if these four people you brought are bandits or not? ”

The bandit leader also hurriedly followed his words and said, "Yes, my lord, we are all good citizens, and we are really not bandits!" This man has cut off one of our tendons and crippled us, so you must be in charge of us! ”

"Shut up! You don't look like any good people! Come on, put the four of them in prison first! ”

The two family members immediately came over and sent the four bandits to the prison first.

After arranging the bandits, the adult waved his hand to Song Beibei and the three of them: "You guys should get out too!" Taking advantage of the good mood of the official today, I won't ask you for compensation from this gate, otherwise the official will put you all in prison! ”

Song Beibei was a little angry, but Shen Zhao opened his mouth before her, and asked the big man: "Do you give it or not?" ”

When the man heard this, he became angry: "Dare to disrupt the people! Are you threatening the officer? The official has said it, and now there is no way to determine the identities of these four people, how can the official give it to you?! ”

Shen Zhao chuckled unhurriedly: "Okay." Tomorrow, the whole Spring City will know that you have an affair with the wife of the official clerk, and that you have been used to stealing chickens and dogs since you were a teenager......"

The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Shen Zhao in surprise, why did he know so many of his secrets?

He hurriedly stopped Shen Zhao from continuing: "Hey, young man, don't say it, I know it's wrong, I'll let the account room pay you the money!" I'll pay a hundred taels, and I don't need to look for the extra ones! ”

Song Beibei said: "Then what's the matter, we didn't catch ten bandits, but you gave us a hundred taels, aren't you messing around with the court's money?" ”

The adult is now in the state of what he says and listens: "Hey, I'll give you this one hundred taels myself, don't go from the yamen's account, Shaoxia, you can rest assured!" ”

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and motioned to his henchmen behind him to go and get the silver out.

Shen Zhao took the one hundred taels of silver sent by his subordinates and nodded: "Okay, let's do this for the time being." Is there still an inn open at this time? You send us there. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it!"
