Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 107 Suppressing Bandits

At least the county magistrate did not go too far. He did not collect taxes that were too high, nor did he rush to grab money.

When Gu Yao encountered that village before, it was because of the county magistrate's inaction that allowed the bandits to harass and harm them at will, which was why they were so desperate.

In this case, Gu Yao naturally has to take care of this matter, otherwise she won’t be able to go very far in the future.

Seeing that the county magistrate was so straightforward, Gu Yao was very satisfied. He transferred all the runners of the county government to the door and told them his plan.

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose your lives in vain. And if you are willing to go with me to fight the bandits, each of you will get two taels of silver."

Originally, many customers were planning to tell the truth but were unwilling to do so. After all, this was a bandit suppression operation and what if they lost their lives?

These bandits didn't harm them, so the yamen runners were unwilling to do anything. They just wanted to eat and wait for death just like County Magistrate Han.

The ambitious yamen runners are long gone, and most of them just want to lie down forever.

But now, hearing Mr. Gu say that each person would get 20 taels, they were tempted.

Twenty taels could even buy a small house in the city. After all, houses in their county were very cheap and consumption was not high, so these twenty taels were really a lot.

The yamen runners looked at each other and said, "We are willing to follow you to suppress the bandits."

I was very satisfied with what they said. As expected, there must be courageous men under a big reward. After all, these 20 cars are indeed a big deal.

What's more, if they do a good job, she will give them bonuses. After all, they are all living on the edge of a knife.

They have not received any formal training, so it is indeed a bit difficult for them to fight bandits.

She asked the guards around her to teach them and give them some exercise.

Gu Xiaoshu and the others haven't returned yet, so they won't act rashly.

The goal is to feed these people enough food and then train them to improve their physical fitness.

You have to know that they are bandits, and their hands are stained with blood. So in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Gu Yao feels that there must be a way to get rid of these bandits without bloodshed.

The next day, Gu Xiaoshu and the others came back and looked at him and said, "Sir, we have investigated these bandits. They have been in this area for several years. They make a living by robbing. Most of them are extortionists in the village. They have blood on their hands. They also rob some beautiful men to serve them. It can be said that these bandits are really inhuman.

Gu Xiaoshu became even more angry: "Sure enough, these bandits have no need to exist. If they exist, the people around them will probably not live long."

"Xiaoshu, if that's the case, then we will send one person to sneak in and put a knockout drug in their water. Remember to be careful and not alert the enemy. The rest of us will be on the edge of the bandits. We can eliminate the others and capture the leader."

Gu Yao felt that these bandits must be executed on the spot in front of the people, only in this way could she be fair to them.

Gu Yao gave the knockout drug to Gu Xiaoshu, which she had bought in the county town.

Just to deal with these bandits, she didn't want her people to sacrifice inexplicably, so she used extraordinary means in extraordinary times, which was the best way.

Gu Xiaoshu didn't expect that his master was so smart and used these little tricks.

However, thinking about what the bandits did, I felt that it was right to let them have a taste of these little tricks, after all, they had done some evil things.

After Gu Xiaoshu and his men left again, Gu Yao continued to have people train these yamen runners to prepare for their capture of the bandits tomorrow.

These bandits are usually arrogant and conceited, and they don't think that the officials will kill them.

Those villagers had reported the incident to the authorities for a long time, but nothing was done, so these bandits were able to survive well in this area.

Moreover, these bandits are all skilled in martial arts, and they don't think they will be beaten by others.

So at night they sang and danced, drank and reveled, and looked quite dissolute.

All the men they captured were abused by them. They had high standards and only picked beautiful women, which made the men very desperate.

They have no future and can only be bullied by them in a lifeless manner.

After a while, all the bandits fainted. Before they fainted, they never thought that they would be knocked unconscious, and they didn't know who wanted to harm them at that time.

But they didn't know either, and all fell into darkness.

Gu Xiaoshu whistled and Gu Yao heard it. Gu Yao was very surprised.

"Let's go ahead. These bandits have been charmed. We just need to catch them and bring them back to the county government office."

These yamen runners never expected that these bandits could be caught without them having to do anything.

After they arrived at the mountain stronghold and tied up all the bandits, they still felt like they were in a dream.

I feel that today's bandit suppression is the happiest thing and it is very relaxing.

Gu Yao watched as her guards searched the entire village thoroughly and took out all the gold, silver, jewelry, fabrics and food.

"Your Excellency did not expect these bandits to be able to help with so many good things. This is about one or two thousand kilograms of grain, and there are even five large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. No wonder they are willing to be bandits. Look at these free things.

Gu Xiaoshu was very surprised when he saw these things, but thinking that they all belonged to the adults in their family, he must give them to them.

Gu Yao had a place to go for all these, and said to Gu Xiaoshu: "Transport all the grain down the mountain and let the poor people here come to get the grain. Each person will get one bucket according to the number of people in a household.

Gu Xiaoshu was surprised when he heard this: "Sir, are you going to distribute all of this to the people?"

"We in the Gu family are not short of food and drink, so we don't need these things and can share them with ordinary people."

"But let's keep the gold and silver. I'll need them in the future. Besides, they can't keep the palladium jewelry if we give it to them. We might as well just divide the food."

Gu Xiaoshu smiled happily when he heard that the gold and silver jewelry were kept.

He was not a selfish person, but this thing was obtained with great difficulty by his master, and it would be a pity if he gave it all away.

Gu Yao thought that there would definitely be some reforms to be done in the future, which would require money, so she decided to make some reserve funds.

Take from the people and use it for fame. It turns out that this money was robbed by these bandits, so use this money to pay for the reform of these villagers.

When the villagers learned that all the bandits had been dealt with, they were so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers.

Some people went straight to their relatives' homes to tell them the good news.

After all, they will have a good life after eliminating the bandits.

They heard another piece of news that the magistrate was distributing food for free in the county, and that it was distributed based on the number of people. This made them so excited that they fainted.

These villagers began to run around and tell their relatives about these good things.

You have to know that this is food. One shake per person, and some people live together as a whole family, so they have to share dozens of shakes.

They all felt happy. This was a good thing that they had picked up for free. It turned out that the magistrate was indeed a great judge.

These yamen runners were also very happy to distribute the money to the people, after all, they did get their share of the money.

Because they received a lot of benefits from the last bandit suppression, some of them were enough to buy them a nice yard in the county town.

This money can be used to buy food, clothing and daily necessities for his children, making the family happy for a while.

Gu Yao felt very relieved when she saw the happy and excited faces of the people.

As expected, these officials are supposed to do practical things for the people. Only when the people are well off will their positions as officials be meaningful.

No matter how high your official position is, there is no point in being an official if the people are not living well.

She became an official to provide support for her family and to earn honor. Now that she has earned it, she must begin to fulfill her responsibilities.

She did a good job this time. At least these people have hope and can live a good life.

But this is not enough. Aren’t these people still living a hard life?

Especially near the border, some bandit leaders will still come, and sometimes even some natural disasters will make them unable to survive.

After she has inspected all of these, she will think carefully about how to make Shicheng prosperous.

Looking at these gold and silver jewelry, Gu Yao said to Gu Xiaoshu: "Send someone to deliver these to my home and seal them all up. I will need them in the future."

She was not worried that these people would become greedy, after all, even Gu Xiaoshu would not dare to do that.

What's more, she had already given them a lot of rewards before, and she would not be merciful if they were greedy again.

The moment she became an official, she realized that it was useless to claim to be a saint. If she were to claim to be a saint, she would only harm herself.

So he would never show any mercy. If someone fell into her hands, she could use him to establish her authority.

Gu Yao planned to stay here for a while to see the local customs and practices.

After all, she had two months, and only one month had passed.

Gu Mansion

Father Gu hasn't seen Gu Yao for more than a month. He is very worried and sometimes mentions Gu Yao when talking to Mother Gu.

"When do you think A Yao will come back? Can she live well in the countryside? What if she encounters bandits? Moreover, I don't know if these country folks are any different from those in Gujia Village. If they are unruly people, won't A Yao be in danger?"

Her father is worried when a girl travels thousands of miles away. For Gu's father, Gu Yao is his hope, and he doesn't want Gu Yao to encounter danger in order to become an official.

Although I have studied abroad before, some of the time they were to other places, not the north.

So Father Gu couldn't sleep all day and all night. Sometimes when he got up to comb his hair, some of his hair fell out.

Mother Gu and son said as they read the book, "Don't worry. You don't even know who A Yao is. She has so many guards behind her. She's an adult now, so don't worry about her. Let's just wait. If you feel bored, you can go out to the banquet with Wu Lang and the others. Didn't you say that the banquets in Shicheng are different from those in the capital? You can go and see the world."

Mother Gu was not worried. After all, her daughter was well prepared and she was an official, so no one would dare to hurt her.

The other guards behind him were really powerful. Sure enough, after just two days, they didn't want to go anymore.

Their experiences along the way were amazing. They didn't expect that there would be such great development outside.

"But you are so brave that you dare to suppress the bandits,"

Upon hearing this, Father Gu quickly said, "Did Xiaoshu and the others get hurt while fighting the bandits? Those bandits have seen blood."

The more Father Gu listened, the more worried he became, fearing that Gu Yao had been injured somewhere he couldn't see.

When he thought that they would not meet for more than a month, he wanted to run away immediately.

Gu Xiaoshu naturally knew their worries, and quickly said, "Aunt, don't worry, the lady is fine, she is doing very well now, and we have already wiped out all the bandits. These things were brought out from the bandit's lair. The lady said they will be useful in the future, so she asked me to come back and put them in the warehouse."

Looking at these gold, silver and jewelry, Gu's father and mother sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many good things in this bandit's den. How many things of ordinary people have they robbed?"

They naturally hated the bandits. When Gu's mother and Gu Yao went out, they had also encountered bandits and naturally knew how disgusting they were.

Now hearing that Gu Yao had wiped out all the bandits, she was naturally so happy that she wanted to set off firecrackers.

"You are tired too. Just take a good rest at home today. I will ask the kitchen to make you something delicious to replenish your energy."

In Gu's father's mind, they would suffer if they went out, so when he thought that his daughter was still outside, he became very anxious and several blisters appeared on his mouth.

Gu Xiaoshu naturally knew that a nest of gold or silver was not as good as her own doghouse. She lived a good life in the country and had a yard that belonged to her.

After she arrived at the yard and had her meal, she fell into a deep sleep. She was indeed very tired during this period of time.

I have eaten well and lived well along the way, but it’s still not as good as at home.

Although he slept, he had to leave immediately the next day, after all, the lady was still waiting for him.

Gu Yao naturally prepared a lot of things for Gu Xiaoshu to take over.

After all, these were things prepared at home. They were three big bags that were carefully packed. If Gu Xiaoshu didn't have a carriage, they probably wouldn't have been able to fit all of them.

"Xiao Shu, tell A Yao to take care of herself outside and not to get too far away from the guards. Tell the guards to protect the lady well. If anything goes wrong, I will hold them accountable."

After saying this, Gu's father was worried, but Gu Xiaoshu then left in the carriage. Lin Wulang naturally also knew the news about Gu Yao and was very worried. He even set up a Buddhist temple in his yard to pray for Gu Yao.

Lin Liulang asked them to watch Lin Wulang's actions and do the same.

After all, Gu Yao is the pillar of their family. If Gu Yao is well, they will be well. If Gu Yao is not well, they will not have a good ending.

However, Chen Yan was due to give birth in two days, and the weather was still dark that day.

When he was about to go to the temple to pray, his stomach started to hurt. Fortunately, Bai Xiang immediately called Wen Gong. That’s why he was able to give birth safely.

After all, it was his first child. He suffered a lot, and his body was not very good, so it took him two days and two nights to give birth to the child.

This time, the baby was a daughter, but Lin Liulang was a little angry.

After all, he felt that it was a slap in his face that as a second husband, he did not give birth to a daughter, but instead gave birth to a little maid.

Yueji saw that he was unhappy and quickly pulled his clothes, thinking that he should pretend for a while in front of so many people, in order to avoid letting Taifulang know and punish him again.

Yueji felt that Lin Liulang had really gone crazy in recent years and was always offending people.

He was also punished by Taifulang to copy books many times, and even Daifulang would sometimes talk about him.

Her husband never learns his lessons, but he is also anxious because he has not given birth to a daughter.
