At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Chapter 16 5 Cousin Lin Dengyuan

This is good news for the Wu family. The reason why Governor Yang did not take action against the Wu family is because the Wu family is a big taxpayer. Tea tax and grain tax have added a lot to Nanling County. County Magistrate Tang wanted to give this good news to the head of the Wu family. He was happily going out when he met Yu Yunxin rushing in.

"Sir, what are you doing in such a hurry?" County Magistrate Tang said, almost tripped by Yu Yunxin.

"I'm looking for my father. My maid was almost robbed by bandits." Yu Yunxin said.

"These bandits are so bold that they even dare to rob your people," said County Magistrate Tang.

Yu Yunxin came to Yu Tinghai and told him about what happened to Lian Qiao and Chun Yu.

"The bandits in Huyue Village are so despicable. I met them when I first entered Wangshan County, but I didn't cause trouble for them. Now they are looking for me." Yu Tinghai said angrily when he heard it.

"County Magistrate Tang, has anyone in Wangshan County reported a case involving mountain bandits?" Yu Tinghai asked County Magistrate Tang, who had not yet left the house.

"There are several cases of kidnapping women, but we can't do anything about it. These bandits come and go without a trace." County Magistrate Tang replied.

"Okay, call all the people who reported the case to the county government tomorrow. I want to take the case." Yu Tinghai said.

A dozen bandits were tied up in the county jail. Li and He asked, "You said you didn't do anything that was against the law, but why did you rape women?"

"Impossible! If the Third In Command knew about this, he would punish him by military law." The Fourth One replied.

"Okay, no need to ask. The imperial court will soon send an army of 100,000 to Nanling County, and your Huyue Village will be razed to the ground." Yu Tinghai said coldly.

"What did you mean by 100,000 troops coming to Nanling County?" asked the fourth brother.

"Yes! What's wrong? Are you scared?" Yu Tinghai asked.

"We are telling the truth. We only robbed 100,000 taels of silver. We would not kidnap women and take them up the mountain!" The fourth brother replied.

But no matter what, no one responded to him, and they were still locked up in the prison. The constable and Yu Tinghai both walked out of the prison.

Seeing Yu Tinghai coming out of the county jail, Yu Yunxin asked, "Dad, second uncle, and fifth cousin are coming with a hundred thousand troops?"

"That's right, the prince will come along this time, and your second uncle will take the lead with 5,000 cavalry to escort the prince." Yu Tinghai said.

"Great, I have a way to find out their exact location, but there are too many people in the copycat group and I can't take them down in one fell swoop." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Okay, your second uncle will be here tomorrow. Tell him what plans you have." Yu Tinghai said, "Go back and rest early! None of these bandits can escape."

Yu Yunxin nodded and returned to the room. Chunyu was preparing bath water for her. When he saw Yu Yunxin walk in, he said, "Miss, I just prepared the water. You should go to bed early."

Yu Yunxin nodded and asked, "I'm sorry to have scared you today."

"It's okay. Lian Qiao was very powerful and knocked those three people out in no time. That's how we escaped." Chunyu replied.

"Okay, you guys go to bed early." After saying that, Yu Yunxin went straight into the bathtub.

It is still the most comfortable to take a bath. Now Wangshan County is no longer short of water. What she needs to do now is to make money and benefit the people of Wangshan County.

In a tent in Huyue Village, a man in black stood in the center, like a king in the night, exuding a mysterious aura.

"My lord, is this news true?" asked Jin Chen, who was wearing black armor.

"How could there be false news in Shura Gate?" the man in black asked.

"Then what should we do?" Jin Chen asked.

"Take your people with you and blend into Yang Yunsheng's caravan. This time he is bringing a group of southerners to build water conservancy projects in Nanjun, so we can blend in with them." said the man in black.

"But what about the other people in Huyue Village?" Jin Chen asked.

"You've been here for two years, and have you fallen in love with Qiu Yingying?" asked the man in black.

"Yes, I deserve to die before we can avenge my great hatred. I shouldn't have been tempted by a woman." Jin Chen replied.

"Don't tell anyone about this, take your people away from here quietly." said the man in black.

"But there are still more than a hundred people who are innocent civilians!" Jin Chen said.

"Innocent, do you know how many evil things Boss Qiu's men have done without telling you? I told you not to worry about the rest and just take your people and leave." The man in black ordered again.

"What about the 100,000 taels of silver?" Jin Chen asked again.

"Stay here, otherwise no one can move the silver and you can only go back to where you came from." The man in black disappeared after saying this. When Jin Chen looked up, there was no one there.

More than 200 people disappeared from Huyue Village that night. When daybreak came, Qiu Yong saw the much emptier village and asked, "Why are there so few people in the village today?"

"We don't know whether the boss has gone down the mountain to look for the fourth brother and the others." replied one of the little bandits.

"Old Four and the others are really something. Call the military advisor over." Qiu Yong said.

"Boss, what do you want to see me about?" A middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing a gray gown walked over and asked.

"Boss, something bad has happened. I'm so angry." The people who came were the three Snake Eyes.

"What's wrong with you three?" asked the military advisor with a mustache who came up in a hurry.

"We went to Wangshan County and found out that when the magistrate of Wangshan County took office some time ago, he arrested ten bandits and locked them up in the county government office. I think it must be Lao Si and his gang." Snake Eyes said.

"What? Who is this Wangshan County Magistrate and how come he arrested ten of my people at once?" Qiu Yong asked.

"We didn't know that the three of us were knocked unconscious by a woman yesterday, so we came back here." The snake-eyed man continued.

"If you don't have the ability, don't mess with women." Qiu Yong said angrily.

"Snake Eyes, you are so brave. What do you think of the Third In Command? Have you forgotten what the Third In Command said?" A female voice came from the inner hall, and a smart girl in bright red clothes walked out. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Second in command, even the first in command can rob women and bring them up the mountain. We only do such things because we are lonely in the mountains." said the snake-eyed man.

"You're still trying to make excuses. How many bad things have you done without telling me?" Qiu Yingying asked.

"The second in command, the third in command and their men are all missing." The little bandit ran in and said.

"Why are there so many things happening every day!" Qiu Yingying exclaimed.

"Okay, sister, go find the third in command quickly!" Qiu Yong said.

Yu Yunxin was leisurely eating breakfast in the back office of Wangshan County when suddenly a pair of hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who I am." A hearty young voice came.

Yu Yunxin smiled. She searched the original owner’s memory for the voice and smiled. It was her fifth cousin, Lin Dengyuan, who was two years older than her.

"Fifth cousin." Yu Yunxin said immediately.

When the young man heard this, he immediately put down his hand and walked in front of Yu Yunxin. A handsome young man in blue clothes appeared in front of Yu Yunxin.

"Dengyuan, you are grown up now, stop joking with your cousin." At this time, a middle-aged general in silver armor came over. This man was her second uncle Lin Jingmo.

"Second uncle, why did you get here so soon?" Yu Yunxin blurted out when she saw the familiar figure.

"Xin'er, we are also following orders. I received a letter from your father via carrier pigeon the night before yesterday, so we rushed here as fast as we could. Your second aunt and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take a few more days to arrive." Lin Jingmo said.

"My second aunt is here too?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Yes! Baiyun Villa will hold a martial arts conference in half a month." Lin Dengyuan said.

"Cousin, is this the kind where people compete in martial arts? Can you take me to see it?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"I'll take you there as long as my uncle agrees," said Lin Dengyuan.

"Okay, Xin'er, let your cousin and second uncle rest. They have traveled all night and it is very tiring." Yu Tinghai said, "Captain Li, take the two generals down to rest."

"We will go to Huyue Village to clean up at noon." Yu Tingshan said to Yun Xin, "Four families came to my county office today. Two families said that after their daughters were captured, the bandits secretly sent them betrothal gifts. They didn't dare to make it public for fear of being accused of collusion with the bandits by their neighbors. The other two families said that after their daughters were captured, there was no news and no betrothal gifts were sent."

"If that's the case, then there are several groups of people in the copycat industry, and their styles of doing things are different?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"It should be possible. After all, there are so many of these bandits, they are refugees gathered from different places. In this way, it will be much easier for us to attack the mountain stronghold." Yu Tinghai said.

"Dad, I will use the piano music to control them and let them lead the way for us." Yu Yunxin said. She used hypnotic piano music on them last time, so this time she only needs to use the same tone to control them, and the others don't need to cover their ears.

"Okay, this time I will bring a captain of the police and several yamen runners with me. Be careful." Yu Tinghai said.

Yu Yunxin nodded. Yang Yunsheng didn't send any ducks over today, so she didn't have anything to do now. It would be good for her to help suppress the bandits, and she could also stretch her muscles.

Noon in summer is the time when people are most likely to relax. Lin Jingmo is an experienced deputy general. He decided to launch an attack on Huyue Village at noon. Yu Yunxin used the sound of the piano to control the ten captured people and asked them to lead the way to Huyue Village. On the official road, they met the third leader Jin Chen who was delivering ducks. This time Yang Yunsheng did not follow him. He asked Jin Chen and his ten men to deliver ten carriages of ducks and half a carriage of chickens to Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin stopped the carriage immediately when she heard the duck cry. The fourth brother, ten people were escorted to the front carriage, with more than a hundred soldiers in armor in the front and more than four thousand cavalry behind. The bandits in the mountains would retreat several steps back when they saw this scene. However, Jin Chen had followed Duke Li since he was a child, and he was also a mature general. He was calm and composed when he saw this scene.

He thought that his master was well-informed, otherwise his entire army would have been wiped out.

After the two met, Yu Yunxin said to Lin Jingmo: "Uncle, these are things I bought with a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. Let's stop for a while."

Yu Yunxin said as she got off the carriage and came to Jin Chen and asked, "Where is Mr. Yang?"

"Boss Yang didn't come this time. He took some farmhands to dig a canal for Governor Yang. He asked me to escort these ducks to Wangshan County Government Office. You must be Mr. Yu, right?" Jin Chen said calmly.

"These things are mine. I have something else to do and can't go back for the time being. You can send them to the back office of Wangshan County first. I have people there." Yu Yunxin said.

"Yes, Mr. Yu." After Jin Chen said this, he got on the carriage and started on his journey without looking back.

In this way, the two teams passed each other. After Jin Chen passed, the groom beside him asked, "Third Master, what should we do now? Take a shortcut and inform the people in Huyue Village?"

"It's too late. Let's wait and see! Lin Jingmo will not be so cruel. If the brothers of Huyue Village surrender, they can still survive. Let's go to Wangshan County and wait for them!" After saying that, he drove towards Wangshan County.

"Cousin, what do you want so many little ducks for?" Lin Dengyuan asked.

"To eliminate pests for the villagers in Wangshan County." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Can this duck also eliminate pests?" Lin Dengyuan asked.

"Deng Yuan, your cousin is much smarter than you. This is the law of yin and yang. One thing can defeat another. Let's go and hurry up the mountain." Lin Jingmo said.

"Second uncle, cousin is also very good." In Yu Yunxin's impression, Lin Dengyuan is very talented in arranging troops. There are a group of fierce wolfhounds in the Lin Mansion, and Lin Dengyuan can command them to line up. These dogs are very obedient, and they will find little white rabbits for her to make her happy. He is also very good at training dogs. In this way, she will not only have a better relationship with one of the dogs named Baihu, because Baihu often asks Yu Yunxin for bones to eat. Now Baihu also has a group of little white tigers.

Under the leadership of the ten men led by the Fourth Brother, the five thousand troops finally found the entrance and knew the three exits here. Lin Jingmo arranged a thousand men to guard each exit and took two thousand men to Huyue Village.

"Master Military Advisor, something bad has happened. The Magistrate of Wangshan County has surrounded our Huyue Village with two thousand troops." said the bandit guarding the mountain gate.

"How is it possible? Isn't there a thorn bush in Huyue Village?" Qiu Yong asked.

"It was that bastard Lao Si who brought people up. Lao Si betrayed us." The bandit guarding the mountain gate replied.

"Damn it! Take our brothers and fight our way out here!" Qiu Yong said.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. Now that Jin Chen is not here, there are only more than a hundred of us. There are two thousand people on the opposite side. No matter how powerful we are, we can't defeat them. Let's take the robbed silver and surrender!" Qiu Yingying said.

"Second Commander, if we surrender, will we be beheaded?" asked one of the bandits.

"Except for robbing government silver once, we didn't do anything bad. I believe the new county magistrate is a good official." Qiu Yingying said.

"Second Master, you are a woman, don't be so naive." The military advisor with a mustache said, "Let's run away!"

"The military advisor this time is a well-trained general. They know the passage to Huyue Village and have blocked all the exits. We can't escape even if we have wings." said the bandit.

"What? It seems that there are more than two thousand people this time, maybe ten thousand?" said the military advisor with a mustache dejectedly.

"What should we do?" asked the bandit.

"Okay, take the silver and surrender. We haven't done anything murderous or arson in these years. I believe they will let us go." Qiu Yingying said.

At this time, Snake Eyes and his men were afraid. They had robbed women twice and brought them up the mountain. After the two women were gone, one accidentally fell off the cliff while chasing them, and the other hit a pillar and died. They buried the people quietly. If the second and third bosses knew about this, they would crush them to ashes. None of them said anything. If they were to surrender now, they must not tell anyone about this. So they followed Qiu Yingying and surrendered together.
