Chapter 107: Enough to Deal with the Robbers
After Gu Mengyao decided to discuss the bailiffs with Magistrate Bai, she didn’t delay for too long and prepared to resolve the issue that day.
After finishing her meal, she came out of the house and headed to the town.
Because she was thinking about dealing with the robbers, Gu Mengyao didn’t use her lightness skill to quickly reach the town but chose to walk slowly to see how many robbers there were.
As a result, there were more than Gu Mengyao had imagined.
After dealing with another wave of robbers, Gu Mengyao looked at the people lying on the ground, groaning, and couldn’t help but frown. Thinking about so many robbers robbing here, it was no wonder that the villagers were unwilling to go to town.
Whatever they brought to town, they would be robbed of!
“Esteemed female hero, we’ll give you all our belongings. Please don’t kill us!”
The robbers, who had been knocked down by Gu Mengyao, felt very wronged at this moment. They had just sent away a little devil in the morning, and now another formidable woman had appeared!
After this, would there be… even more formidable old men!
Then what’s the point of robbing!
It would be better to go home and farm, and they would suffer less injuries.
“I don’t want your belongings, but don’t commit evil deeds here anymore. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you.”
Hearing the robbers’ pleas for mercy, Gu Mengyao didn’t move. She just spoke coldly, and immediately the surrounding robbers kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude, feeling fortunate to have escaped this calamity and saved their lives.
As for whether to continue robbing, that was uncertain.
At most, they would just avoid this woman from a distance in the future!
Originally, the robbers thought… the other party knew the two people who had sprinkled medicinal powder last time. But judging from the fact that they didn’t ask for their belongings, they shouldn’t be from the same family.
However, these robbers didn’t know… that Gu Mengyao was preparing to gather the bailiffs from the county office to completely eliminate the robbers blocking the road.
Compared to Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng’s hoarding of money, Gu Mengyao directly disrupted the robbers’ business…
Later, when Gu Mengyao met Magistrate Bai, she directly proposed the method that Gu Qingheng had thought of.
To this, Magistrate Bai had no other choice at the moment.
Moreover, Gu Mengyao’s promise to teach the new bailiffs also gave him face.
Otherwise, if she ignored him, the problem wouldn’t be solved.
When the bailiffs in the county office heard that Gu Mengyao would come to teach the newcomers, they all felt regretful.
If Gu Mengyao hadn’t already stated that she would only teach new bailiffs, these bailiffs who were preparing to join the army wouldn’t have wanted to leave. They only wished to learn martial arts from Gu Mengyao to become stronger.
However, upon hearing that Gu Mengyao would lead them to resolve the issue of the robbers on the road, the bailiffs immediately became excited.
They were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, ready to show off in front of Gu Mengyao and, at the same time, get guidance on their martial arts doubts.
Magistrate Bai couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the increased enthusiasm of the bailiffs.
He had promised many benefits before, hoping to get these bailiffs to deal with the robbers around Lian Town, but they had shown no action.
As a result, now that Gu Mengyao had arrived and given them nothing… the bailiffs were incredibly excited, as if they had struck a huge bargain.
This made Magistrate Bai feel a little wronged, and he couldn’t understand what kind of magic Gu Mengyao possessed…
While Magistrate Bai was feeling depressed, Gu Mengyao had already led the bailiffs towards the road they had come from, preparing to deal with the guys who were blocking and robbing.
The civilians passing by were terrified by the imposing demeanor of the bailiffs. Then, upon realizing that a woman was at the forefront, they were even more shocked.
When someone exclaimed Gu Mengyao’s name in surprise, a clamor immediately erupted. Then, seeing the team heading in the direction of the village, they guessed… that the government bailiffs were about to take action against the robbers who were blocking the road.
As for Gu Mengyao, the people of Lian Town, even if they hadn’t seen her, had heard of her great reputation.
In this regard, the curious onlookers couldn’t help but want to follow the team.
Since there was nothing else to do, they might as well watch the excitement.
However, that was what they thought. When the bailiffs came to drive them away, they all ran faster than anyone else.
“Having too many people following will alert the enemy… Now, the team is divided into five small teams, with four people in each team, which is enough to deal with the robbers.”
After quickly making the arrangements, Gu Mengyao instructed the bailiffs to split into teams and act separately to prevent the robbers from getting wind of their plan and escaping.
For those bailiffs who lacked motivation, Gu Mengyao also made it clear… that after dealing with the robbers, she would set aside a day specifically to answer their martial arts questions.
Of course, the prerequisite was to deal with all the robbers first.
As soon as Gu Mengyao spoke, the bailiffs became excited as if they had been injected with stimulants. Then, with full motivation, they rushed to where Gu Mengyao had instructed, striving to resolve these robbers in one day.
When Gu Mengyao saw the bailiffs start to act, she didn’t go home directly. Instead, she occasionally went to various places to check, preventing any unexpected situations.
However, Gu Mengyao had clearly thought too much.
Seeing the scene of the bailiffs beating the robbers, Gu Mengyao didn’t stop them. Instead, she continued to patrol other areas.
Since these robbers dared to rob, they had to be prepared.
Pity is not a reason for sympathy, especially when doing something illegal… It’s like her little husband, who doesn’t dare to act when doing something bad without thorough preparation.
Although it is not to be encouraged, one must still think thrice before acting!
“Mengyao, why did it take so long?”
By the time Gu Mengyao let the bailiffs go back to rest and continue the next day, the sun was about to set. The orange-red light shone on the earth, covering it with a warm coat.
As Gu Mengyao walked forward, casting shadows in the setting sun, she had just reached her doorstep when Gu Yu, who had been waiting at the door the whole time, immediately spoke, making Gu Mengyao’s lips curl up.
This kind of life is also not bad!
“I suddenly met Magistrate Bai. He was too enthusiastic and kept me at the county office to discuss… the issue of the bailiffs.”
“Bailiffs? Are they the group who were clamoring to join the army before?”
“Yes, after all of them joined the army, Magistrate Bai had no one to command, so he was very troubled.”
“Although it was because of your guidance that these bailiffs wanted to join the army, it was for Lian Town at that time, so you don’t need to pay attention to Magistrate Bai. If he looks for you again in the future, just tell me.”
Hearing Gu Yu’s words when Gu Mengyao mentioned Magistrate Bai, Gu Mengyao smiled and nodded.
It’s best not to tell Gu Yu about leading the bailiffs to deal with the robbers right now, otherwise he would feel regretful… This time, we must take advantage of the bailiffs not having left yet to make these robbers dare not continue robbing.
