Chapter 445 Robbed the Bandit Village
Chapter 445 Robbed the Bandit Village
After hearing this, Zhang Tongban's eyes widened: Can you arrest people like this?
How can you be more deceitful than him?
Is this the county magistrate appointed by the emperor himself?
Is this definitely the top scholar in the imperial examination who is good at writing and admired by the people for his high moral character?
Guan Yue looked at Zhang Tongban's confused expression and said a few more words: "Aren't you good at lying?"
"There should be more ways to bring people here than the one Lord Xue mentioned, right?"
"Think of a few more plans and brainstorm to trick as many people as possible into coming to receive labor reform education."
It is not impossible to attack the village directly, but it is too time-consuming, and it may be dangerous because we are not familiar with the terrain. What if many people hear the news and run away?
"Hey~ How can you call this cheating when it comes to scholars? It's so ungentlemanly!"
Xue Wei shook his head at Guan Yue: "This is called helping young people who have gone astray to get back on the right track in life~"
Guan Yue: Brother, you are really good at pretending!
Zhang Tongban heard what he said and had already started to plan his escape. He didn't want to play with these crazy people!
Guan Yue glanced at him casually at this moment: "Xiao Zhang, you are not thinking about running away, are you?"
"If I run away, what will I do with the poison from the scorpion sting?"
Zhang Tongban was puzzled when he heard Guan Yue's words. He checked himself again and again, "I'm not poisoned, am I?"
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his buttocks. He turned around and saw that the guard leader Qiu Fang was holding a pitch-black scorpion in his hand. The scorpion was still slowly wagging its tail.
Guan Yue spread her hands: "Well, isn't he poisoned now?"
Zhang Tongban is so sad that he can't even cry. This is simply a hooligan!

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Menghu Village one after another.
The outer perimeter of Menghu Village is a circle of solid walls made of adobe and stones. The houses inside are all earthen houses. Although simple, they are well organized.
Five bandits were left in Menghu Village to guard the house.
The road from Wan'an Pass to Menghu Village is about fifty miles long. Menghu Village is the boss and its location is hidden so no one dares to disturb them. So when Xue Wei brought his men here, five bandits were squatting in the open space in the middle of the village playing mahjong.
Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a handsome scholar with a group of strange people barging in so brazenly, and then they wandered around their farm as if they were strolling around their own home.
Guan Yue looked around and said, "This village is not far from the official road. If we renovate it and build a road, it can be used as a post station and the office of our escort agency branch."
Xue Wei nodded in agreement: "Not bad, not bad! Let us congratulate the Xilai Escort Agency for developing its logistics network outside Wan'an Pass!"
As they traveled along the way, Guan Yue would sometimes lag behind the main group, just to see if there were any suitable places along the way to the northwest to open a branch of the Yuelai Escort Agency and set up a "logistics outlet".
If they like a product, they can just send a group message to notify Zhang Xiaopang, Jiang Lili, Hou Xiaoxiao, He Lin, and Li Xiaoguan, the big bosses, and they will prepare the necessary materials and arrange manpower to start the work. The main feature is teamwork, which is quick and efficient.
Cheng Jiayu also came back through the small door at the back. "I saw a piece of wasteland behind the village. The soil conditions are very suitable for growing the 'sea rice' you described."
Xue Wei thought: "Well, this place will be our first station outside Wan'an Pass. With this station as the center, we will start planting sea rice, potatoes and other drought-resistant crops."
Once Hou Xiaoxiao and others arrive with sufficient manpower, this plan can be implemented.
"No, who are you?"
The bandit who was guarding the house saw the intruder talking to himself and ignoring him, and angrily picked up a machete.
Xue Wei calmly ordered the people behind him: "Catch them and beat them with ten sticks first, then take them away to recite the rules!"
"Eh eh eh——"
The guarding bandits, who had no idea what was going on, were dragged away by the guards and beaten with ten sticks. Only then did they see their fellow bandit brothers, who had already been punished, dragging their heavy bodies and queuing up in an orderly manner into the village.
He was dragged away by the guards to reunite with his boss and accomplices in the woodshed, and only then did he know what had happened to the brothers who had gone out.
The five bandits who were guarding the house wanted to pull their brothers over to complain harshly about the county magistrate's behavior, which was inhumane and incomprehensible.
Before they could even say a few words, they were scolded by their accomplices: "Stop talking nonsense, recite it quickly. If you don't finish reciting, we will have no food to eat tomorrow and we will be beaten! Don't hold me back!"
The five bandits who were guarding the village saw the rough guys in the village holding candles and thin pieces of paper to read at night and memorize their lessons. They suddenly felt that the world was magical.

The next morning, Xue Wei and his group, who had rested well, were full of energy.
After this night of torture, the controlled bandits had their arrogance completely worn away by the pain of the poison and the suffering of endorsing, and they were listless.
When Xue Wei and the others woke up in the morning, there were about thirty bandits who had memorized the rules. After a night of tossing and turning, these people were hungry and sleepy. They were looking forward to the breakfast that Xue Wei and the others had mentioned.
Soon breakfast was pushed in front of the bandits on a cart. Before they could see clearly what was in the cart, they had already smelled the fragrance - the aroma of crispy meat!
Their Menghu Village was doing pretty well among the large and small villages, but they didn't have meat to eat every meal.
At this moment, the bandits all swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Breakfast with meat!
And the guards came down with another cart, and this time there was an unfamiliar fragrance mixed with the scent of rice.
"No way? This scent is a bit like the scent of shrimp and crab?"
"Xia, do we have this kind of thing in the Gobi Desert?"
"Even if there are such good things, they are for the people led by Master Xue. How can there be any for us?"
The dull atmosphere was lifted by the breakfast that was delivered.
Qiu Fang came up with a wooden tray, on which were a double-layer teriyaki chicken burger, shrimp and crab porridge, hash browns, a fruit plate made of grapes, oranges, and lychees, and a glass of milk.
Although the bandits didn't know what a hamburger was, they were so greedy when they saw the two thick layers of meat sandwiched between two pieces of bread that looked like naan!
Moreover, in that big bowl of shrimp and crab porridge, you can see the whole shrimps and crabs clearly from a distance, and the ingredients are very sufficient.
For those fruits that you have never seen before, just looking at their appearance is enough to make you salivate.
Zou Hu, who was dizzy from memorizing, couldn't help but ask, "Is this Mr. Xue's breakfast?"
Someone immediately looked around and said with a hopeful tone: "Master Xue is not here now. This is the firewood room."
Qiu Fang gave a mysterious smile: "No, it's for you."
