Dressed as the villain's stepmother

A group of people waited until evening.

Liao Yunchuan rode his horse and stopped in front of the Governor's Mansion. After Yang Fei heard the noise coming from outside, he walked out immediately.

"Boss, something happened!"

"how?"

Liao Yunchuan got off his horse and handed the baggage he was carrying to Yang Fei.

In order to find out the true identity of the group of soldiers led by the prime minister to suppress the bandits, he could be said to have never rested along the way, and he was always on the move.

Yang Fei carried the burden of the results on his back, and then handed the letter he had kept in his sleeve to Liao Yunchuan.

"My wife was kidnapped by bandits. This morning the bandits sent a letter, saying that we must raise a thousand taels of ransom within three days, otherwise they will kill her."

Liao Yunchuan took the letter from Yang Fei and read the letter without saying a word.

The tone of Jiang Lianzhu's letter seemed relaxed, and she explained the matter from beginning to end, which made it easier for them to take action.

"Ignore the ransom of one thousand taels for the time being. I will go to the stronghold tomorrow to explore." Liao Yunchuan folded the letter and put it away. "This incident has also alarmed the emperor. In the near future, the imperial court will also send troops. Suppress bandits."

"Is everyone in the capital alerted?"

Yang Fei was shocked by these words. He never thought that such a small thing could actually cause trouble in the capital.

Or maybe he didn't understand the scale of the bandit at all.

"Yes, it's just that this matter was handed over to the Prime Minister, so I don't know how it was done."

Liao Yunchuan responded calmly and walked quickly into the Governor's Mansion. After washing up, he went back to the house to rest.

The next day, the sky was barely bright, and Liao Yunchuan had already packed his bags.

He didn't know exactly where the bandits built their stronghold, so he could only go to the inn in the wilderness mentioned in Jiang Lianzhu's letter first.

When the waiter saw Liao Yunchuan walking in with a gloomy look, he immediately became alert and straightened his back: "Do you plan to stay in the hotel or have some snacks?"

The waiter took a few steps forward and asked a little attentively.

Liao Yunchuan didn't answer, pointed to the table in the corner, led the waiter over there, led the two of them to stand still, and violently grabbed the waiter's neck.

"Where is the bandit's stronghold?"

Liao Yunchuan asked in a lowered voice.

His movements were smooth and smooth, and he didn't make much noise. The scattered guests around him didn't notice what was happening in the corner.

"This, this kid doesn't even know."

The waiter immediately panicked, and his voice was trembling heavily.

"The young one is just a handyman in the store. I really don't know what you are talking about, sir?"

Liao Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and clasped the waiter's neck harder.

"If I'm not wrong, half of the people sitting in your inn are bandits. Since they don't touch you, it means there is contact between you. Did I say this wrong?"

"This……"

The waiter choked up immediately. Unexpectedly, Liao Yunchuan had already explored the surrounding situation not long after entering their inn.

After a pause, the waiter seemed to be discouraged: "The bandit's village is on the next hill, but ordinary people can't enter it. You have to have an acquaintance to lead the way..."

"What if you say you want to defect?" Liao Yunchuan paused and then asked again.

"Here, someone needs to lead the way, but from the looks of it, this guest officer seems to be no ordinary person. Why must he defect to those bandits?"

Although the waiter was out of breath due to the pressure, he was always flattering and flattering.

Liao Yunchuan quickly took his arm away and said calmly: "It's just a curiosity."

"Yes."

The waiter nodded and quickly gave Liao Yunchuan a recipe book.

He could feel just now that if this man exerted more force, his life might not be saved. He was just a busboy in the inn for a living, but he didn't have the guts to mess with the man in front of him!

Liao Yunchuan ordered a few dishes at random and sat quietly, listening to the conversations of the people around him.

After listening for a while, he walked to the nearby table, looked at the leading man and said, "I wonder if this eldest brother can lead the way. The younger one also wants to enter the village."

"you?"

The man gave a puzzled look and put down the bowl of wine he was holding in his hand.

"You look so gentle and fair, can you do those things of fighting and killing?"

Liao Yunchuan was specially dressed plainly when he came out this time, which made people feel that he was extremely poor at first glance.

When he stood up and came forward, he placed his sword on the original chair, so he looked no different from those weak scholars studying in the school.

"Young ones can do it."

Liao Yunchuan smiled shyly and responded softly.

"I also managed to escape from that plague. Now I can't go anywhere, and I don't have half a tael of silver with me. I was wondering if I could go to the stronghold with a few elder brothers, even if it was for me. I would also be happy to arrange a odd job."

He deliberately disguised himself, making him look like a fledgling boy, and he didn't necessarily have any great intentions.

Those men were simple-minded, thinking that Liao Yunchuan was desperate and took this step. After laughing, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, since you have this idea, then follow a few of us to the stronghold later. It happens that a lot of people have been kidnapped recently. With your body, you can't follow us to do things like killing and killing." , but it’s okay to help lock up those people who think about escaping every day.”

The leading man said something very heroic and settled the matter.

Liao Yunchuan thanked him repeatedly, took the sword he had specially brought, and followed several men up the mountain.

Inside the cottage.

Liao Yunchuan followed the man all the way inside, looking at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision.

This cottage seemed to have been built not long ago. The soil used to support the wooden stakes looked very new, as if it had been plowed not long ago.

The man quickly stopped in front of a room, and then pointed to the side.

"After that, you will live here for me, and you will be in charge of that area. The people imprisoned here are all rich people, but we must not let them escape, otherwise we will have no place to take the money. !”

"Okay, I will definitely take good care of these people."

Liao Yunchuan agreed immediately, his tone was very sincere.

He also did not expect that his trip would go so smoothly. It is estimated that this village is indeed short of people, otherwise it would not randomly recruit an unknown person to the mountain.
