Chapter 668 - 668 The Bandits

668 The Bandits

A strange thing happened in Zhou Shan City.

The bandits from black wind mountain, who gave the authorities endless headaches, actually came to court to surrender themselves!

It was really a strange thing.

The bandits robbed houses, intercepted passers-by, and committed all kinds of evil. However, the government couldn’t do anything to them. They couldn’t be caught, and they were like cunning foxes. Whenever the court tried to do something, they would quickly hide.

In short, the former prefect, Ji Zhongcai, had tried to capture them for a few years, and they were still going about as bandits.

!!

At this moment, they actually turned themselves in so consciously.

In the back hall of the court, the constable quickly walked towards the residence of the magistrate and shouted, ” Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the bandits have turned themselves in!”

This voice made people feel excited.

Zhou Changsheng, who was wearing an official’s uniform and official’s hat, rushed out from inside. He asked, ” Constable Zhou, what’s going on? ”

He had only been in office for a few days, and there were already thieves who came to surrender themselves. It was unbelievable.

If this matter were true, if it were handled well, it would be of great merit. If it was not handled well, he might lose his own position.

He also didn’t understand what the outcome would be in these two situations.

Constable Zhou’s eyes lit up as he said excitedly, ” my Lord, it’s the gang of bandits from the black wind forest. They have all come to court to surrender themselves.

Zhou Changsheng still didn’t believe it. “is this true? ”

Constable Zhou nodded and replied, ” Yes, my lord. There were many people watching outside. The bandits in the black wind forest built a base there. I know the one-eyed man who is the leader of the bandits. The group of people outside are here to turn themselves in with the one-eyed man as their leader, my Lord!”

He had been a Constable for more than 20 years, and this was the only time he felt like he was dreaming.

A group of bandits had actually come to surrender. It sounded unbelievable, but it was the truth.

Could this have something to do with the new magistrate?

Otherwise, who would be so coincidental?

The new magistrate had only been in office for a short time, so he didn’t have much power in his hands. The remaining forces left behind by the previous magistrate, Ji Zhongcai, must be against him and trying to intimidate him. They would secretly obstruct him and disobey his leadership and command.

They had been pressuring Zhou Changsheng with hints to arrest the bandits in the black wind forest. Otherwise, they would question Zhou Changsheng’s ability.

Zhou Changsheng had just arrived, and even though he was the mayor of this city, he had no power to back him up, so he could only take this grievance. In the future, these people could be dealt with.

Best

For the past two days, he had been racking his brain for a plan to exterminate the bandits, but it was to no avail.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should ask Lin yuelan for help, this group of bandits came to his door.

This was beyond his expectations.

Zhou Changsheng immediately tidied up his clothes and said with a serious expression, ” let’s go to the hall!

Constable Zhou replied excitedly, ” yes, Your Excellency!”

Then, the two of them couldn’t help but quicken their steps in the direction of the court.

After the meeting, Zhou Changsheng immediately asked sternly, ” who is this? ”

The one-eyed leader kowtowed and said seriously, ” my Lord, we are from the black wind forest.”

Zhou Changsheng immediately asked suspiciously, ” black wind forest?”

The one-eyed man immediately replied, ” Yes, my lord.”

Zhou Changsheng asked doubtfully, ” if I remember correctly, black wind forest is the hideout of bandits, right? You actually said that you’re from black wind Mountain? Then, are you bandits?”

The one-eyed man and his subordinates were angry, anxious, and afraid as they replied, ” Yes, sir. I’m Hu Hansan, and I’m a bandit from black wind forest.”

They didn’t want to admit that they were bandits, but their lives were in the hands of others. They had no choice but to do this.

The one-eyed man hardened his heart and said, ” Sir, we’re here to turn ourselves in. We’ll also hand over all the money we’ve robbed recently. Please spare our lives.”
