Chapter 224 The Joy of Destroying the Mountain Village
The battle in the mountain village was finally coming to an end. Only the fire that had not been completely extinguished was still crackling.
Fu Yi became impatient and simply blocked the corridor from the other side, so the fire did not spread any further.
Everyone quickly picked up the buckets that the bandits had left behind and worked together to fetch water. With everyone's efforts, the remaining fire burned the fallen wood and gradually died out on its own.
Fu Yi asked everyone to check the village again, and there were no more fish that slipped through the net. Then he ordered people to find food from the village and make breakfast. Not long after, he felt that someone had sneaked into the village again. He walked over quietly and found that the person who had gone to report the news earlier had also come.
He was walking cautiously into the village, and saw that the people tied up were not on his side. Just as he was about to speed up his pace, he saw Fu Yi appear in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward to tell Fu Yi that the people who came to pick him up had already arrived at the foot of the mountain in a carriage with the things. They all stopped below, waiting for the people in the mountain village to send a message.
We can drive the carriage up right away, pack the things into bags, and transport them back to Weibei City.
Fu Yi immediately pulled the flare in his hand.
A sharp sound pierced the clouds, and soon the sound of horse hooves was heard from the foot of the mountain.
Fu Yiren opened the gate of the mountain village and, under the guidance of Scarface, came to the treasure cave in the mountain village.
After entering, I realized that this was a real treasure cave. Food, gold, furs, and medicinal herbs.
Everyone was jealous, and Fu Yi asked everyone to pack up all these things and transport them down the mountain.
After hearing this, the remaining people who were watching over the bandits downstairs all started working, and after almost three hours, they finally loaded all the things that could be taken away from the mountain stronghold onto the trucks. They then escorted all of them, including the bandits, back to Weibei City.
Although he had been busy for a whole day and night without taking a rest, Fu Yi was still in high spirits while riding on his horse, especially when he led his brothers to drive the long bandit group and suppress the convoy through the busy city.
In return, it received wave after wave of praise from the people.
When these things were transported to the mansion and placed in the courtyard, even I was stunned. I wondered in my heart, are bandits so rich these days?
The yard was full, and there was no telling how many were outside. Fu Yi had accomplished a lot on this trip!
Jiang Chuan came over from the study after receiving the letter. He was also startled when he saw that the yard was full of things and the carriage outside the door could not enter.
When Fu Yi saw Jiang Chuan appear in the yard, he immediately brought dozens of secret guards of the Fu generation to salute Jiang Chuan and introduced Scarface to Jiang Chuan.
Jiangchuan swept away the depression of the past few days, wiped out the lion bandits, and confiscated so much money and food. This was just good news that made people happy.
Jiang Chuan, who couldn't help but smile, had all the bandits imprisoned in the cell. He also put handcuffs and leg irons on the second in command, who was suspected to have come from the capital.
Seeing them swearing in the jail, he ordered the yamen runners to go in and give them a beating, and waited until they finally got quiet.
Jiang Chuan was satisfied then, and brought Scarface, Fu Yi and others to the study.
As they walked, he instructed Fu Yi to give each of the brothers five taels of silver from the property seized from the mountain stronghold. The grain should be sent to the granary and registered, and then presented to the emperor.
There is an unwritten rule for the remaining silver and jewelry. Generally, people would keep a portion of the property seized from the enemy, and then send a portion to the emperor.
Fu Yi happily turned around and gave the order. The others were also happy after hearing it. They wished there were more bandits like this. If they could wipe out a few bandits, they would make a small fortune!
When they arrived at the study, Fu Yi introduced Scarface to Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that Chen Wu asked him to save someone just because of this scarred man.
Motioning for everyone to sit down, Scarface came to Jiang Chuan and expressed his gratitude to him again; "General Jiang, thank you for rescuing my wife and children, and for saving me from being threatened."
Jiang Chuan hurriedly helped him up; "You have made an invaluable contribution to defeating the bandits in Shiziling. As for your wife and children, you can pick them up whenever you want. But there are some things that still require your help."
Scarface was filled with gratitude. "General, I will tell you everything I know."
Okay, then let’s all sit down and discuss this matter in detail.
Everyone sat down again and discussed how to get to the bottom of the matter.
