"Hahaha, congratulations to Deputy Captain Yan, this time he can beat all the bandit killers, Deputy Captain Yan can be said to have made great contributions. I believe that this word should be removed in no time."

Captain Han smiled and clasped his fists to congratulate him as soon as he saw Xiaoliu.

"Where is it, Xiaoliu is just a junior, with a low level of experience. This time it is thanks to you and your master taking charge of the overall situation, and the brothers work together to remove this Black Wind Village in one fell swoop."

Xiaoliu also returned humbly. Although he made great contributions this time, Xiaoliu knew that without the help of everyone, he would not be able to do this alone.

When Lao Xing and Captain Han heard Xiao Liu's humble words, they nodded with satisfaction. They were neither arrogant nor arrogant. This is the material that can be made.

Captain Han and Lao Xing both looked at each other and smiled, and Captain Han made a decision in his heart.

At this time, the constables also cleaned the battlefield. One of them held his fists at Xiaoliu and reported:

"The three adults found twenty-seven bodies, and there were no survivors. How should we deal with these bodies?"

Xiao Liu asked after hearing this, "Has Xie Zhongda's body been found?"

Xie Zhongda was the one who had been named by Xiaoliu before and had to be sacked. The leading constable also responded quickly:

"Qi Bing Yan, the corpses were all burned into charred corpses by the fire, and it was impossible to recognize who was coming. However, according to the bandits' identification, seven of them were very similar to Xie Zhongda. I think Xie Zhongda should be among them."

"Um."

Xiao Liu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He wanted to see people in his life and to see corpses in his life. What he wanted was not similarity, but 100% certainty.

Xie Zhongda is the most dangerous person in Heifeng Village. According to the confessions of the bandits, Xie Zhongda is amazing. He was once a battle-prone general. He was forced to wander into Heifeng Village and become a military advisor of the bandits because he was persecuted by the eunuchs.

If such a character is asked to escape, there will be endless troubles, not to mention that the 30,000 taels of silver is still in his hands!

Captain Han, who was standing beside him, also saw Xiao Liu's worry. He smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, Deputy Captain Yan, Han led his men to investigate the surroundings last night, and did not find anyone escaping from the sea of ​​fire. I think the evil bandit named Xie should have also been buried in the fire."

Xiao Liu nodded when he heard this. Indeed, logically speaking, there was no possibility that anyone could escape from the heavens after such a big fire last night.

However, he was still a little worried because he did not see Xie Zhongda last night, nor did he hear Xie Zhongda's voice, so Xiaoliu was not sure whether Xie Zhongda was among the group of people.

However, even though he was full of doubts, Xiao Liu knew that it was not the time to consider these things. He smiled and nodded to everyone and said:

"Since that's the case, it's time for us to go back. I think the county magistrate Lou and the residents in the town are waiting in a hurry."

Captain Han and Old Xing also showed a happy expression of relief when they heard this, and the rest of the people were also excited. After more than a month, the bandits were finally completely dealt with by them.

......

The official road ten miles away from the south gate of Qixia Town was crowded with people, including officials, merchants, farmers, and all kinds of people gathered here, confusing the business trips from south to north.

"Hey brother, let me ask. So many of you are gathering here, and there are officials in front of you. Is there any high-ranking official coming?" One person grabbed Lao Bai in the crowd and asked curiously.

"This guest official came from another place, right?" Old Bai looked up and down after hearing this.

The man quickly replied, "I am from Nanyang, Henan. I am going to Shanxi to find relatives. After passing by you, I saw so many people here, so I was a little curious."

When Lao Bai heard that his accent was indeed the one from Henan, he also let go of his doubts in his heart. He explained with a smile:

"It's not that a high-ranking official is coming. Where can there be any high-ranking official in the remote area of ​​our place be willing to come here. The reason why we are here is mainly because the constables in our town have just wiped out a group of bandits and are about to come back today, so we'll take a look and join in the fun."

The man's face froze when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal. Lao Bai did not doubt him, but thought he was just afraid of the bandits.

"Then this group of bandits should be quite a bit. It's worth your hard work, even the magistrate came to greet him in person." The man asked in a curious manner.

"That's right, it's said that there are hundreds of bandits. The three of our counties surrounded and suppressed them for more than a month, and they were completely wiped out until last night. You didn't see the fire last night. The fire soared into the sky, dyeing the entire horizon red."

Lao Bai said in a simplicity that everyone in Qixia Town saw the fire last night. At first they thought it was after burning the mountain, but later they found out that it was Xiao Liu and the others who set fire to the bandits.

After hearing what happened, the man suppressed his anger. He clasped his fists at Lao Bai and said:

"Thank you!"

As he said that, the man left in a hurry.

Lao Bai looked at the man's leaving curiously. He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the other party, but when he thought about it carefully, the anxious voice of the shopkeeper beside him came.

"Zhantang, please help me watch Xiaobei, don't let her get lost."

"Hey!"

Hearing the shopkeeper's voice, Lao Bai didn't have time to pay attention to the man just now. He turned around and looked around, and soon saw Xiao Bei playing hide-and-seek with a few children.

Lao Bai quickly turned around and moved to Xiao Bei's side. He didn't salvage Xiao Bei and the others to play, and just looked at them quietly.

After a while, the breathless shopkeeper also came out of the crowd. She looked at Xiao Bei who was playing with her classmates and Lao Bai who was guarding her.

The shopkeeper came to Lao Bai and cursed, "This Guo Furong asked her to look at Xiao Bei. She was fine. She ran forward alone and left Xiao Bei here alone. She was not her baby, so she was not afraid of losing it."

"It seems that Xiao Bei is your baby." Lao Bai couldn't help but smile when he heard the shopkeeper's words.

But soon he realized something was wrong. Old Bai turned his head and saw the shopkeeper looking at him straight.

Lao Bai, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, quickly changed his words:

"I mean, it's not mother and daughter, but it's better than mother and daughter."

Hearing Lao Bai's words, the shopkeeper smiled, and then she looked at Xiao Bei who was playing happily with her classmates and said warmly.

"Zhantang, do you know that the life I have always expected is just watching Xiaobei play quietly, then leaning on a reliable shoulder, and slowly with him..."

As he said that, the shopkeeper slowly leaned his head against Lao Bai's shoulder beside him, but Lao Bai chose to avoid it after hesitating for a while.
