Although he said before that he wanted to see Lu Liang and Lu Fang's abilities first, from the moment he helped arrest Lu Deye and others, it showed that he was willing to help.

He was still persuaded by Lu Fang.

Abandoning the Chaling Army, Yang Mao and his son went to work with Lu Liang to make a living.

Lu Fang said quietly: "Whichever hilltop has the weakest strength will be destroyed. There is always someone in You County who knows something about them."

"elder brother."

With that said, he turned his head and said to Lu Liang: "Let's issue a reward order! Collect information on the bandits in You County."

I'm afraid I can't count on that guy Jiang Zimo.

After so many days, there was not even the slightest news. If it weren't for the hatred points that would be refreshed from time to time, Lu Fang would even think that he had died.

"Um."

Lu Liang nodded slightly, but smiled bitterly, "General Han, I have to trouble you about this matter."

Han Feihong nodded and said: "My people, Magistrate Lu, you can just dispatch them."

After so many years in the army, he had never fought with a real sword or a real gun. At this moment, he felt a little excited inside.

If you want to do it, do something big.

Soon after, some Chaling soldiers posted a reward notice on the street.

It certainly made countless people watch.

There was a lot of discussion in Youxian County.

Although the county government did not announce the arrest of Lu Deye and others, many people saw it. Now that the reward order is suddenly posted, who wouldn't think about the bandits?

I'm afraid that Lu Deye's gang really has something to do with the bandits, right?

Otherwise, why would the county magistrate issue this reward order right after he captured them?

There is no airtight wall in the world. News of the connection between the Youxian Chamber of Commerce and those bandits had been circulating in the county. Now, it has exploded in nature.

I don't know how many people were whispering.

However, this certainly does not help in suppressing bandits.

Most people just watch it as a spectacle.

They have never suffered from bandits.

But the reward order is still useful after all.

Less than an hour after the reward order was posted, an old farmer carrying a load walked to the gate of the county government office.

He was stopped by Chaling sergeants at the gate of the county government office.

The old farmer said: "Two officials, I'm here to see the county magistrate. I know the news about the bandits."

The two Chaling soldiers looked at each other.

One of them said: "Then you come in with me!"

Then he took the old farmer and walked inside.

Until the backyard, I met Lu Liang.

The old farmer saw the official robe on Lu Liang, put down his burden, kowtowed and said, "Niu Laogen, a grassroots citizen, pays homage to the county magistrate."

Just this name has the air of facing the loess and back to the sky.

The Chaling sergeant who brought him in said, "Magnificent Lu, he said he knows the news about the mountain bandits."

Then he walked outside.

Lu Liang was a little moved and asked Niu Laogen to stand up and said: "Do you know the news about the bandits?"

"The Bandits of Dahuang Mountain."

Niu Laogen replied: "The grassroots people live in Niujiao Village at the foot of the Dahuang Mountains, and they have encountered the tough bandits on the mountains."

Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang and said, "Go on. Do you know how many people there are? Who is the leader?"

Niu Laogen nodded and said: "There are probably less than a hundred people. The leader is nicknamed Huang Sanpao. He is an outsider. The common people have never seen it. I only heard that he is very powerful. Their third leader is called Er Maozi, who knows martial arts. He is an ordinary ten

This person is no match for him."

When Lu Fang heard this, he became more energetic and interrupted: "Have you ever fought with them?"

Speaking of this, Niu Laogen's eyes became a little red.

"Those gangsters were killed by God!"

He burst into tears suddenly, unable to control his emotions anymore, "My granddaughter, my granddaughter was taken away by them."

After a long while, he slowly calmed down a bit and told Lu Liang and Lu Fang the whole story.

And this kind of thing is not uncommon in You County.

According to Niu Laogen, these bandits usually do not rob people in nearby villages and towns. Instead, they rob people in distant places, and even leave You County.

However, this is only usual.

If they knew which family had a beautiful daughter or something, that would be a different matter.

Niu Laogen's granddaughter was beautiful and stood out around Niujiao Village, so she was noticed by the bandits on Dahuang Mountain.

The third boss named Ermaozi.

Ermaozi led dozens of bandits down the mountain and robbed Niu Laogen's granddaughter to the mountain. Since then, Niu Laogen has not seen his granddaughter again.

I originally wanted to go to Dahuang Mountain to plead for mercy, but my head was smashed and I still couldn't see Er Maozi.

After Lu Fang listened, he looked at Lu Liang and asked, "Is Dahuang Mountain far from the county seat?"

Lu Liang said: "It's not far, only more than ten miles."

Lu Fang looked at Niu Laogen again, "Then are there any other bandits near your Niujiao Village?"

Niu Laogen shook his head and said: "No more. These bandits all have their own territory. Bandits from other places will not come to our Niujiao Village area."

The tears are still wet.

Lu Fang asked again: "How is the mountain? Where are the bandits hiding?"

When it comes to suppressing bandits, just knowing which mountain is obviously not enough. There are many towering mountains in You County, so suppressing bandits is not easy.

It may even be impossible to find the bandit's cottage at all.

Even if you find it, it may be empty.

Lu Fang actually wanted to ask Niu Laogen if he wanted to be a guide, but seeing Niu Laogen's age, he couldn't bear it.

Niu Laogen didn't know what to say. He looked at Lu Liang, gritted his teeth and said, "The common people are willing to lead the way for you. They are copycats, and the old man has been there."

Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang again.

Lu Fang looked at Niu Laogen and said, "Old man, this suppression of bandits is very dangerous. And if it fails, you may be retaliated by those bandits."

"Revenge is revenge!"

Niu Laogen seemed to be a stubborn man, and said: "Anyway, the old man's son and daughter-in-law have gone to other counties, and the old man is the only one left. I am not afraid of what will happen to them."

As he said that, he suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Liang, "I just ask the county magistrate to save my poor granddaughter! She is only sixteen years old!"

I couldn't help it, and burst into tears again.

Lu Liang sighed softly and helped Niu Laogen up, "Don't worry, old man, this county has come to You County to suppress bandits, and we will never sit idly by."

Lu Fang stopped talking, got up and walked towards the dining room.

Han Feihong was still eating there.

Once inside, he said directly to Han Feihong: "General Han, prepare to order your troops and set off!"

Han Feihong turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Liang walked in from the door and said to Lu Fang: "Xiao Fang, don't be impatient. Think about it first, is there any fraud in this matter?"

Lu Fang glanced back at Niu Laogen, who was still standing in the patio, and said, "Probably not."

Then he explained: "This Niu Laogen doesn't look like a treacherous person, and we haven't taken action against the bandits yet. They haven't been forced to a dead end, so they won't have such courage. Two hundred Chalings
