Chapter 80: Qinglongzhai Bandits
When Chen Jun heard the words "Qinglong Village", his heart was in turmoil. The light in his eyes was like a meteor across the night sky, flashing with excitement that was difficult to conceal. He clenched his fists, as if he could feel the power bursting from his fingertips, like a hidden flame, burning in his chest, ready to burst out at any time.
His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief, and he asked: "What did you say? Qinglong Village? Are you sure those people were talking about Qinglong Village?" Every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, revealing his inner tension and anticipation.
The wild boar's eyes widened with determination. He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "That's right! I heard it clearly. They were talking about Qinglong Mountain."
Chen Jun's heartbeat was beating against his chest like a drum, as if it was trying to break out of his chest. He turned and looked at Captain Yang, his eyes flashing with desire, as if he was looking for a clear answer.
Captain Yang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Qinglong Village has emerged like a new force in the past few years, entrenched in Qinglong Mountain, acting in a secretive manner, and rarely confronting us head-on. If it is really them who did it, this is very serious. I guess there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, they are short of food on the mountain, and have to go down the mountain to plunder."
Chen Jun nodded in agreement, agreeing deeply with Captain Yang's analysis. He knew that although Qinglong Village was secretive, it had never committed any evil acts such as robbery, which was why most people in the county knew little about Qinglong Village.
The wild boar added, "I see that they are agile and well-trained, so they are most likely from Qinglong Village."
Captain Yang took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must find out the truth. If Qinglong Village is really involved, we must not tolerate it!"
Chen Jun clenched his fists, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If they are really from Qinglong Village, we must report to the county magistrate immediately and request to send troops to encircle and suppress them!"
Sun Ying also became excited at this time. He urged: "What are we waiting for? Let's chase them! Wild boar, you must mobilize all the men immediately and ask the brothers to work harder to see if we can find the place where they hide the food!"
Chen Jun kicked the fallen tree next to him hard and said viciously, "That's right! We can't let these bandits go unpunished! Captain Yang, what do you think are the chances of our county yamen runners succeeding in Qinglong Mountain?" What he was most concerned about was the robbed food, which they had worked hard to get from the county yamen warehouse, and every grain was extremely precious.
Captain Yang shook his head and frowned, "We know very little about the people of Qinglong Mountain, and the terrain of Qinglong Mountain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. It may be difficult to win with only the people in the county. Moreover, according to what Wild Boar said, the people of Qinglong Mountain have good fighting power and a large number of people. Judging from the two granaries that were robbed, they should have considerable strength and organizational ability."
When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn. They knew that this might be a tough battle, but no matter what, they had to fight hard for the food that had been robbed and for the peace of the county.
So, the group followed the traces and went deep into the forest. However, they soon found that the clues gradually disappeared in the depths of the forest, as if they were wiped out by a mysterious force. Seeing this, Lin Kunlun breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Fortunately, they didn't find Yuan Quan and the others, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Brother Sun, have all the brothers been arranged?" Lin Kunlun asked softly.
Sun Ying nodded and said, "Of course everything has been arranged. I asked them not to show up during this period to avoid arousing suspicion. I didn't expect it to be successful so smoothly last night." He couldn't help but feel secretly proud when he thought of his men successfully moving so much food from Cheng Jun's warehouse.
However, the news soon reached the ears of several officials in the county government, and County Magistrate Chen ordered all detectives to go down and look for clues, and make sure to get to the bottom of the matter.
Chen Jun returned home and reported the situation to County Magistrate Chen with a heavy face. He was very nervous, after all, he had lost several batches of grain this year, and this time he emptied the warehouse directly, causing heavy losses.
"Father, I always feel that someone is targeting us. We haven't found any clues about the first batch of disappeared grain, and this time our warehouse has been emptied directly." Chen Jun said worriedly.
County Magistrate Chen sighed and said, "This is really a big trouble. The grain was produced by everyone in the county government, and now it's all gone. I'm afraid the other old guys will have complaints."
Chen Jun's heart moved, and he said, "Father, do you think this matter has anything to do with Sun Ying? Logically, he is the most well-informed, and it is impossible that he did not notice the news that the people from Qinglong Village were coming."
County Magistrate Chen pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point. This matter is indeed a little strange. Send a few people to keep an eye on Sun Ying. If he is really the one behind this, he would have contacted those people."
So Chen Jun secretly sent people to monitor Sun Ying's movements. On the other hand, Sun Ying led his men to search for the missing grain. He was extremely anxious because the grain was of great significance to him. He sent people back to Kaoshan Village to inquire, but found that the grain that was supposed to be in his warehouse had not been delivered at all.
"What's going on? Why did the grain disappear?" Sun Ying asked angrily.
"Boss, it's bad! We found those brothers in the ravine, they were all knocked unconscious and tied up!" At this time, the wild boar ran over and said breathlessly. It turned out that Sun Ying was worried that his men had run away with the food, so he sent the wild boar to look for them. Unexpectedly, those men were tied up.
"Have you brought them back? I want to ask them where their food has gone!" Sun Ying said angrily.
"Boss, I have brought them back. When I found them, they were tied up and thrown into the ravine." The wild boar replied.
"Bring them here quickly, I want to interrogate them in person!" Sun Ying slammed the table and said angrily. He already had a bad feeling in his heart, and this matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Soon, the few people who were responsible for dressing up as Qinglong's bandits were brought in.
"Tell me where my food is!" Sun Ying was furious when he saw them. If he hadn't gotten a bottle of food from Chen Jun, this time he would have gotten nothing.
The leading subordinate lowered his head, not daring to look up at Sun Ying, and said, "Boss, we don't know this either. We were just about to disguise ourselves as people from Qinglong Village and go out to rob food as planned. Suddenly, a large group of people surrounded us. Those people were very skilled and quickly knocked us down and tied us up! They threw us into that ravine!"
"Asshole, you're still being stubborn!" Sun Ying gritted his teeth in anger. He stood up suddenly and slapped the subordinate in the face.
With a crisp "pop" sound, the subordinate's cheek suddenly became red and swollen.
He was stunned and looked at Sun Ying in disbelief. In his opinion, he was just following his orders and had done nothing wrong, so why did he treat him like this?
"Then do you still remember the characteristics of those people! Who are they?" Lin Kunlun stopped Sun Ying from beating people.
"It was too dark and they were masked, so we didn't know what they looked like!" The men lowered their heads as they spoke. They were really embarrassed. They were subdued before they could even see what the people looked like.
"What's the use of you guys? So many people were knocked unconscious by others, and we don't even know who did it!" Sun Ying became even more angry when he heard it. He had been planning for so long, but he didn't expect that someone else would take advantage of him.
"Boss Sun! This time it's lucky, at least we didn't lose any food!... And if you deal with these brothers at this time, it will arouse suspicion from Chen Jun and others!" Lin Kunlun advised at this time.
"You guys should find a place to hide for the time being! If the news gets out, you know what I will do!" Sun Ying also calmed down at this time. Fortunately, he got a batch of food from Chen Jun this time, so his loss was not great.
