The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 251: Bandit-killing Hero

After the door was closed again, Shang Wan looked at Zhou Gao who was standing silently, "As for you, practice your courage and give your seat to others. Whether it's a fine or something else, it's up to Qin Zhang to decide."

It’s not that you can’t hide when you encounter danger, but hiding without reporting to your family is very dangerous.

Zhou Gao was ready to be sold to the dental clinic, and Shang Wan's tolerance made him feel relieved.

He thought for a moment and recommended: "Boss, you might want to consider Liu Lao Si. He is a man of extraordinary courage and martial arts, and he is worthy of being the leader of the guards."

Shang Wan remembered every single person in the caravan. In the melee just now, this guard Liu had fought three people at once and did not lose.

"Call him in."

"Yes." Zhou Gao took the order and went out, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

By the time Shang Wan had dealt with all the matters concerning the caravan, it was already dawn outside.

Xiaohuan went to the kitchen and cooked a big pot of porridge and steamed several baskets of buns. The side dishes were freshly pickled, salty and crispy, perfect with the porridge.

Lu Chengjing brought breakfast over on a tray, put the porridge and buns on the table, and said to Shang Wan, "You've been busy all night, eat something."

"Yeah." Shang Wan's eyes never left the account book. He agreed but didn't move.

Since there was no one else in the room, Lu Chengjing simply picked up the bowl, took a bite of side dish and a mouthful of porridge, and fed his wife.

Shang Wan finished reading the last point, closed the account book, picked up chopsticks and picked up a bun to eat.

She could taste it now and asked, "Did Xiaohuan make it?"

"Yeah." Lu Chengjing fed the last spoonful of porridge in the bowl to Shang Wan before picking up his own bowl to eat.

"Did you go to the county government to report to the official?"

Lu Chengjing nodded while holding the porridge in his mouth.

Shang Wan said: "After we go down the mountain, will you go back with your classmates or with us?"

Lu Chengjing naturally wanted to go with his family, but, "I have an appointment with them to visit Mr. Chi Ran, and it is inconvenient to break the appointment."

Mr. Chi Ran was a great scholar of his time and had a beautiful hand in calligraphy. Shang Wan had heard Lu Chengjing talk about him before.

She took a bite of the bun, swallowed it, and then asked, "Have you prepared the gifts?"

"Well, I prepared it on the way."

Shang Wan thought for a moment and said, "I just saw in the account book that the caravan received two Duan inkstones. You can go and take a look later. If you think they are good, add them to the gifts."

Shang Wan had met all of Lu Chengjing's classmates who had studied abroad together. They were of good character, but except for Qiao Yu'an, they didn't have any family background.

The gifts the group prepared for the journey were probably not up to par.

Lu Chengjing nodded. Thinking of Shang Wan's consideration for him, he felt comforted. The corners of his eyes curved up and filled with smiles.

When he smiled, Shang Wan was distracted for a moment, and suddenly remembered the time to settle the score.

She reached out and pinched Lu Chengjing's earlobe, twisting it with two fingers, "Scholar, you are quite capable. How dare you break into the bandit camp alone at night?"

Were all the promises you made before leaving eaten by dogs?

Lu Chengjing choked on his porridge and immediately explained, "I didn't plan to break in, I just came to take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

"I think the bandit camp is on Chencang Mountain. I want to look for it at night. If I can find it, I will go back and inform the authorities."

Shang Wan narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves?"

"I know my limits. I also have the medicine prescribed by Doctor Duanmu." Lu Chengjing's ears hurt badly but he didn't dare to hide. He said softly, "You are all waiting for me at home. How could I risk my life?"

Shang Wan snorted softly, let go of his hand, and rubbed his red ears.

She talked about business: "We can all guess that the bandit camp is on Chencang Mountain, how could the government officials not guess it?"

"What if you guess it? What if you don't?" Lu Chengjing picked up a bun and said, "I'm just being prudent and protecting myself."

There are only a few officials like Lord An who work for the benefit of the people, while there are many people in the court who are just sitting there doing nothing.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

To think more darkly, there might be some connection between the bandit camp and the county government of Baoji County.

"Then can we send these bandits to claim the reward?" Shang Wan realized as soon as he asked that he had asked a stupid question.

No matter what the county government and the bandit camp did in private, it would be a great achievement for them to catch all the bandits in one fell swoop.

Maybe the county government will even commend them with drums and gongs.

Shang Wan touched his chin and said to Lu Chengjing, "Let Tan Zhang go to the county government office later and say that these bandits were captured by the merchant team."

When a caravan is traveling, it is hard to guarantee that it will run into these troubles, and she cannot arrive there in time every time.

It is necessary to bring honor to the caravan, and it would be best if other bandits would not dare to attack the caravan upon hearing its name.

Lu Chengjing also thought of this, so naturally he didn't disagree.

After everyone had breakfast, Shitou, holding Yuanyuan, and a few guards walked around the bandit camp. Only after they were sure that the wild beasts had retreated did they invite everyone to go down the mountain.

Among the people who were captured, in addition to the caravans, most were ordinary people living around Baoji County.

"Who are these five?" Shang Wan pointed at the young men who were hiding behind the crowd and dressed exactly the same.

"They are all Tiger Lady's husbands." Xiao Huan took a look and said, "They were also abducted to the mountain and forced to marry Tiger Lady. They can't even leave the village gate on weekdays."

The music Shang Wan heard was played by these five young men.

Tigress was getting married and wanted them to play accompaniment in the wedding hall. The five of them were afraid of getting whipped if they made mistakes, so they rehearsed conscientiously.

The five young men have different looks, but they all look good.

Shang Wan secretly sighed, thinking that Tiger Mother was living a very comfortable life.

Xiao Huan moved closer to Shang Wan and asked quietly, "Sister, will it be a hidden danger if we keep them here?"

What if one of these five people is attracted to Tigress?

What if I seek revenge on them in the future?

"Let them come." Shang Wan didn't care. She wouldn't be afraid even if a hundred more of these came.

Xiaohuan felt relieved after hearing her sister's words, and her eyes when she looked at the five young men were not as cold as before.

Nearly two hundred people marched down the mountain and then marched into the city, attracting countless attention.

"Who are these people?"

"Didn't you see what it says on the sign? Damn bandits."

"Hey, this bandit leader is a woman, how come she has no front teeth?"

"Thank goodness, we finally caught these bastards. My son can go home now."

……

Amid the discussions of the people, Qin Zhang led the caravan, suppressed the bandits, and walked into the county government office with his head held high.

Half an hour later, the entire caravan became heroes for exterminating bandits, and received a reward of 130 taels of silver from the government, and a notice was posted to praise them.

Seeing a group of soldiers rushing out of the city, Shitou asked in confusion: "Brother-in-law, the bandits have been caught, why are they leaving the city now?"

"The bandits have been caught, but the money they robbed is gone." Lu Chengjing's tone was a little cold.

Shitou scratched his head and turned to look at his sister.

Weren’t those things put away by his sister?

His sister even said that this trip was worth it.

"A bunch of jackals who smelled blood." Qiao Yu'an sneered sarcastically.

When they encounter danger, they hide behind others. When there is benefit, they rush forward like flies. With such profit-seeking officers and soldiers, it is no wonder that the bandits here can become so powerful.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

Lu Chengjing also retracted his gaze: "Let's go back to the inn first."

"it is good."
