Du Youliang and his confidants ran back to the county town, but hundreds of his men were attacked by a masked thief.

It was dark and the hundreds of local heroes threw down their weapons and ran away in scattered their weapons when they heard the sound of killing and the sound of thunderous horse hooves.

The thieves did not chase and killed the village warriors, and only focused on the gang with barely neat lineup, well-equipped and commanded.

The group of people was the Du family's guards. They received training for a long time and had beaten a small group of bandits. Naturally, they were not so panic, but they became targets because of this.

The thief had a round of javelin and a charge, and more than 40 guards lay down.

Immediately afterwards, the thieves began to drive away the fleeing village warriors from the north, shouting to kill Liantiandi and rush towards the direction of Loufan Town to the south.

The brave men were almost scared to death. They ran away without a life. After half an hour, another cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.

About one hundred cavalrymen shouted, "Loufan inspector Qin is ordered to eliminate the bandits", while passing over the trembling village heroes and killing the thieves chasing behind them.

With just one rush, the thieves fled in panic.

Lord Qin chased after him symbolically for a while, and then led a hundred cavalry to collect all the fleeing village heroes back, and said with great remorse that he was late.

Then, Lord Qin said that there were still thieves nearby, so he asked the local heroes to return to Jingyou Town to clean up the soft and thin areas, and followed him to Loufan Town, only there was safe.

Most importantly, there is sweet yellow rice porridge and hot broth.

In the past, the Du family always said that Qin Chuan of Loufan was a bandit leader, who burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and occupied the magpie's nest, wearing the skin of the inspector and the chief manager of the Meng family to harm the village.

But now the local heroes feel that Lord Qin does not seem to be the kind of person Du family said.

At least he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he had to take them to Loufan to avoid disaster.

Under the escort of Lord Qin, the local warriors returned to Jingyou Town. They were surprised to find that the group of thieves did not rob their homes.

Their houses, houses, and even fine livestock are still there.

So, they happily packed up all the things they could carry and followed Lord Qin to Loufan.

When they arrived there, they were surprised to find that most of the villagers in Jingyou were here, with a total of five or six hundred people, including their families, neighbors, etc.

There are dozens of big pots of yellow rice porridge and broth, and hundreds of newly dug ground nests.

The inspector, Lord Qin, patrolled nearby with one or two hundred soldiers and horses, and rode a tall horse to protect their safety.

Soon, the villagers of Qian Jingyou Town were eating sweet yellow rice porridge and hot broth while being grateful to Lord Qin, who loved the people as much as his son.

The next morning, Lord Qin was still sleeping, and the work of relocating villagers was handed over to Wang Jizong.

Mr. Wang is a famous talented man from all over the world. Most of the villagers who traveled to Jingyou recognized him and were convinced. It was much more convenient for the villagers to speak and do things.

Wang Jizong asked some villagers to go back to Jingyou Town to clean up the lost households, while the other part dug up 300 more land nests with the help of Loufan villagers.

Lord Qin said that the thief would go to Jingyou to find the Du family to blackmail food, but the place was still unsafe, so the villagers in Jingyou had to live in Loufan for ten days and half a month first.

During this period, Mengjiazhuang will provide free meals a day, two meals a day, and the price is that villagers have to work and dig ponds to repair water conservancy.

One thousand villagers have to eat ten stones of grain every day, and only more than one hundred stones in half a month. Qinchuan now has more than one thousand stones of grain, which is still affordable.

Among the villagers who returned to Jingyou to clean up their homes, some of them sneaked into Dujiazhuang, hoping to find some missed property, or move a few tables and chairs, take a few pots, pots, jars, etc.

But as soon as they entered, they were stunned: the originally magnificent Dujiazhuang had become ruins.

Almost all the moving objects in the village, including tables, chairs, stools, clay tanks, stone mills, etc., were gone.

Even most of the houses in the village were demolished, and the beams and columns in the house were gone, and the door panels and windows were completely gone, and even the rafters disappeared.

Other villagers rushed over and surrounded the ruins and were amazed.

That group of thieves are so cruel. They can't steal other people's money and food. They even demolish their houses and even rob them of doors and windows.

At this moment, a newly built greenhouse in the Heishan Mine that was intended to store pig iron was filled with tables, chairs, tables, stools, clay pots and stone mills, as well as many beams, columns and rafters, etc.

Hundreds of miners and one hundred Guandi Army slept everywhere.

Last night, they demolished the house that they had been doing all night and were really exhausted.

...

Jingle County, the magistrate's office.

He Changbao paced back and forth in the study, very annoyed.

Dozens of old, young, young, and children from the Du family came to the county government office early in the morning, knelt down there and cried loudly, crying for justice, saying that the thief in Mengjiazhuang in Loufan had robbed their Du family and arrested all the thirty young and strong people in their family, and asked him, the chief of the county, to send troops to wipe out Mengjiazhuang in Loufan.

When He Changbao heard the news, he jumped up in shock and hurriedly sent the yamen runners to Jingyou to check if it was true.

Not long ago, the yamen runners came back and said that Jingyou Town was empty and hundreds of villagers were missing. Dujiazhuang was in ruins, and everything that could be moved inside was moved away.

There were messy ruts and horseshoe prints to the west of Jingyou, which stretched towards the direction of Montenegro, and only the number of the thieves was estimated to be no less than five hundred.

The yamen runners dared not chase them in, so they just plucked up their courage to go to Loufan. From a distance, they saw many nests digging next to the town, and thousands of villagers were tidying up pots and pans and waiting for the whole house. They also set up dozens of large pots next to them, as if they were cooking.

The yamen runners waited nearby for a long time, and finally met an old farmer who came out to herd sheep and eat grass. After asking, the old farmer told him everything that happened last night.

After hearing the yamen runner's return, He Changbao's eyebrows frowned together.

Is this really done by someone surnamed Qin?

The group of thieves came from the northwest, and the leader called himself Wang Gang of three cliffs.

Before the incident, the Qin man blackmailed a batch of grain from the Du family. At the time of the incident, he was slowly checking the grain, as if he was deliberately delaying time.

The thief only robbed the Du family's property, and even did not let go of the wooden beams of the doors and windows, but did not touch the needle and thread of ordinary villagers. Some pigs, sheep, mules and horses that the villagers had no time to take were in the livestock pen, but they did not lose any of them.

The thief asked the Du family for two thousand stones of grain, which was obviously very familiar with the Du family's movements and knew that a batch of grain existed in the county town of Du family.

The thieves first forced Du Youliang to retreat, and then quietly chased after him and attacked him at night, killing more than 40 guards. More than 400 township heroes were safe and sound. At this time, Qin suddenly led his troops to repel the thieves in one fell swoop and rescued the township heroes.

The Qin surnamed gathered thousands of villagers in Jingyou Town to provide them with food and asked them to help dig a pond and build a reservoir.

Before this, he had already won the hearts of the people in Loufan Town, took in hungry people, and led the villagers to develop water conservancy.

All signs indicate that the Dujiazhuang incident is related to the newly appointed inspector.

One of them is unreasonable: The Qin surnamed Qin has already trained 800 Townships. Why can the thief still bypass Mengjiazhuang and go to Jingyou to rob a large household, and then take money and get safe and sound from Heishan to go around Mengjiazhuang and return to three cliffs?

This is unreasonable.

Even Guo Yan, the Guandi Mountain, was destroyed by the Qin surnamed, how could he let Wang Gangbao pass through his territory in a dignified way?

But, is it really done by someone surnamed Qin?

What is his purpose in doing this?

Has he been colluding with bandits to harm the countryside?

Or, he wants to raise the bandits and even... even want to rebel?

Thinking of this, He Changbao was shocked. When he saw Chen Congzhi next to him frowned and his face was solemn, he knew that this matter was difficult to deal with.

Regardless of whether this matter was done by the Qin surnamed or by the King of Sanzuaya, he, the magistrate, had nothing to do with it.

No matter who is surnamed Qin or Sanzu Cliff King Gang, he is not able to deal with it. The former is strong in the army, while the latter occupies natural danger. It is impossible to fight without a large army of three or five thousand.

Not to mention three thousand, even three hundred, he may not be able to make it up.

Unless...those gentry and wealthy families are willing to take action.

When he was very upset, a yamen runner said carefully outside the door: "Sir, there is a group of people outside asking to see you, including several gentry from this county and several wealthy families in Lan County. The master of the Wu family has also come."

When He Changbao heard this, his eyes lit up.
