After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 343 Triumph

"Second brother, something must have happened in the village!"

The other big man seemed to react as well and cried out in horror.

Lin Shuyue comforted Gousheng, who was trembling with fear at the sight of the one-eyed man, and asked softly, "Are they the second and third in command of the village?"

Gousheng didn't say anything, just nodded.

Over there, the one-eyed man reacted and roared at Gousheng, "Gousheng, you little bastard, what's going on in the village now? Did you lead them to find the Huixin grass?"

You traitor, if I had known I shouldn't have carried you up the mountain, I should have strangled you to death from the start."

"Shut up, why are you talking so much nonsense."

A yamen runner couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and scolded him.

The one-eyed man was a tough nut to crack. He was not afraid of him at all and continued to yell obscene words.

Lin Shuyue frowned unhappily, picked up a small stone and threw it at him. The one-eyed man's shouting stopped abruptly, and he opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.

Qinghe and Qingzhi, who practiced martial arts, knew at a glance that the one-eyed man had been silenced by his master.

Lin Shuyue's move frightened the third in command and other bandits. They didn't dare to shout anymore and squatted on the ground with their heads down.

It would take some time to get down the mountain, so Constable Liu and the others didn't dare to delay too long. After leaving a few brothers to guard the bandits, they followed Lin Shuyue into the misty forest.

Several girls from Yuxi, Gousheng, and the young child were waiting outside the woods with Qinghe and Qingzhi.

Perhaps because of their experience, the yamen runners were quick to clean up the mess. They searched and moved everything that needed to be moved. In less than an hour, they had taken the surviving bandits in the village and carried away the stolen property.

When they came out of the misty forest, the sun had already set. Constable Liu waved his hand and ordered his men to bring the second in command, the third in command and others, and the group marched down the mountain in a mighty procession.

Lin Shuyue said something to Qinghe and Qingzhi and left the team. She was going to pick up Xuebao, Xiaohuihui and Weifeng.

When we returned to the county town, it was already completely dark and the city gates had long been closed.

Fortunately, Constable Liu and his men were there. They shouted at the city wall. The soldiers on the wall looked out and saw that it was the bandit-suppression team that had left the city early and returned victoriously. They were overjoyed and immediately ordered people to open the city gate to let them in.

In the study in the front yard of the county government office, Luo Bingwen paced back and forth anxiously. It was already this late, and Young Master Lin and Constable Liu had not returned yet. He couldn't help but worry that they might have encountered some accident.

At this moment, the servant beside him rushed in in a hurry. Luo Bingwen was already impatient, and seeing him like this, he was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so flustered?"

"Sir, great news! Constable Liu and Young Master Lin have returned in triumph and are almost at the county government office. I went to take a look and saw that they have captured quite a few bandits." The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported the good news to his master with a beaming face.

Luo Bingwen was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately walked out: "Come on, follow me to meet them."

The servant hurried to catch up, and before he even stepped out of the door, he heard his master's joyful laughter. His heart ached and he couldn't help wiping away tears.

For two years, these bandits have been like a huge rock weighing on the master's heart. Now that the rock has finally been removed, the master can sleep peacefully.

Luo Bingwen, dressed in his official uniform, walked quickly to the gate of the county government office and happened to meet Lin Shuyue, Constable Liu and his group who had just arrived at the gate.

He stood on tiptoe and looked back, and saw that the group of ferocious bandits behind him were now in a miserable state. The depression that had been buried deep in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Luo Bingwen laughed heartily, then calmed down. He walked up to Lin Shuyue and bowed deeply to her. "Thanks to Young Master Lin's actions today, these evil bandits were brought to justice. On behalf of the many people in Yaojiang County, I would like to thank Young Master Lin."

Lin Shuyue turned aside to avoid his greeting: "Master Luo, you are welcome. I have accepted your reward and will do my best."

Seeing that she was humble and polite, and remained unperturbed by praise or criticism, Luo Bingwen admired this promising young girl even more.

"It's getting late today. Young Master Lin has been busy all day and must be very tired. Why don't you go back and have a rest? I will set up a banquet at Ruyi Residence tomorrow. I hope Young Master Lin will do you the honor." Editor Luo Bingwen sincerely invited Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Suddenly, she remembered Gou Sheng and the child, and asked, "Master Luo, how does the government deal with the children of bandits and those who are captured?"

Luo Bingwen glanced at Gou Sheng and the one-year-old child, then at the other children in the bandit group: "Children like these who are ignorant of the world will be placed in an orphanage by the government. If they are over seven years old, they will be sentenced to serve their sentences with the adults.

As for the captured children, if their families cannot be found, they are usually temporarily placed in an orphanage."

Lin Shuyue nodded, then led Gousheng to Luo Bingwen and said solemnly, "Lord Luo, this child was brought back from the foot of the mountain by the second-in-command of Tianlang Village. He suffered a lot in the mountain village and is a pitiful child.

This child has also made contributions in this bandit suppression campaign. Please take the trouble to interrogate the second-in-command and see if you can get information about the child's parents from him so that the child can have a home."

Luo Bingwen carefully examined Gousheng. Seeing that his eyes were clear and upright and he allowed himself to be examined with ease, he knew that he was a good person. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lin. I will do my best. This child will stay in the backyard of the county government office for the next few days. I will send a maid to take good care of him. I will make arrangements after I find out his background."

After hearing what Luo Bingwen said, Gousheng couldn't help but hold Lin Shuyue's hand tightly.

Lin Shuyue noticed and thought he was nervous, so she patted his hand to comfort him, "Gousheng, don't be afraid. Lord Luo is a good official. Once he helps you find out your background, maybe you can go home."

Of course, what she didn't say was that there was another possibility, which was that she would not be able to return home even after finding out her background.

After all, the child has fallen into the hands of bandits, and the child's parents are likely to be in danger.

After handing Gousheng over to Luo Bingwen, Lin Shuyue rode away with Qinghe and Qingzhi.

As for Yuxi and the others, the government has made arrangements for them, so she doesn't need to worry about them.

However, Lin Shuyue left decisively, so she didn't see Gousheng chasing her for a few steps with tears in his eyes.

When I returned to the inn, I happened to meet the inn waiter coming down from upstairs.

The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the master and servant, and he immediately came forward happily to greet them, "You three guests are finally back."

"What are you doing?"

Lin Shuyue looked at the boy in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

The waiter took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to her, saying cheerfully, "Sir, this is what the guest next door asked me to give you this morning. It's just that you left early this morning, so I only have the chance to give it to you now."
