Because Fu Jingen was carried by people, the road to the mountain was even more difficult to walk, so the speed was very slow. But they were not in a hurry, and they were not really going to suppress bandits anyway.

Sitting so uncomfortable, Fu Jingen couldn't help but say, "Let me down."

When he came down, he couldn't help but touch his back. This road was too bumpy and uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was walking unsteadily, Lao Ba hurried forward and said, "Sir, I'd better help you!"

Fu Jingen nodded, then chatted with the guide: "Will the bandits on this mountain harm your people in Xinqiao Town?"

The guide's surname is Jiang, a resident of Xinqiao Town. He is now in his sixties. Because he often went up the mountain to hunt when he was young, he was very familiar with the environment in this area: "How come it's not a disaster! They not only kill past vendors, but also run to the foot of the mountain to grab food and women. There were four villages at the foot of Guidong Mountain, but now they are dead and running away. None of them are left."

"Does the government care?"

Dad Jiang hesitated and said, "Shut up, I've been here several times, but when the officers and soldiers arrived, Zhong Mazi took everyone to hide in the mountains and couldn't catch them. When the officers and soldiers left, he would take people down the mountain to rob them."

Speaking of the latter, he was gritting his teeth.

Fu Jingen looked at his expression and asked, "Can your family be harmed by Zhong Mazi?"

Dad Jiang said sadly: "Three years ago, I had a niece-in-law who was ruined by them. At that time, she was still pregnant with a child! My nephew knew about this after returning home. He ran up the mountain to take revenge despite everyone's dissuasion, and then he never came back."

He had only two daughters and was married far away. He originally wanted to rely on his nephew and nephew-sister-in-law to support his retirement but suffered such a disaster. It was because he hated Zhong Mazi so much that he was willing to be a guide. Others dared not. If they could not be eliminated, they would be retaliated against by Zhong Mazi at that time, the whole family would be in danger of their lives.

"Don't worry, we will definitely wipe out Zhong Mazi and the others this time."

Dad Jiang nodded and said, "I hope so too."

As the afternoon approached, Yin Dian brought two soldiers to Fu Jingen: "Sir, Zhong Mazi and his group were wiped out by us."

Although there has never been a war on Fu Jingen, he also knows that suppressing bandits is more difficult than fighting. Because bandits occupy strong terrain, it is difficult to find them if they can't win and hide in the mountains. This time, Li Jiamo actually surrounded and suppressed people so easily, which is very strange.

"How far is this place from Zhong Mazi's lair?"

Yin Dian said: "It will be there in two quarters of an hour."

They all wiped out the bandits, but the imperial envoy was still wandering on the road. Fortunately, he didn't follow him up the mountain, otherwise how could it be so smooth.

After entering the parody, Fu Jingen saw Li Jiamo and asked, "Where is Zhong Mazi?"

Li Jiamo pointed to a wooden house next to him and said, "Inside, don't worry he is still alive."

Living is to live, but he was seriously injured and was already in a coma. There is no way to ask questions at all.

Fu Jingen said with a calm face: "Didn't I tell you to catch him alive? He is the key figure in the case. If the clues are dead, they will be cut off."

Li Jiamo said: "His injury has nothing to do with us, he was stabbed by his accomplices. However, his accomplices were also killed by our people."

Fu Jingen didn't believe this and looked a little cold.

At this moment, Li Jiamo's subordinate said: "Sir, the women and children in the village are unwilling to go down the mountain with us. Sir, what should we do about this matter?"

Li Jiamo was in a bad mood and heard this and said, "If you dare to resist, you will kill everyone."

Previously, Man Tong suggested to instigate Li Jiamo, but Fu Jingen has been observing him these two days. He originally thought he could be the target of his struggle, but he gave up after hearing this. Even women and children can do it, so people without a bottom line will never be able to use it.

Fu Jingen said: "The sin is not as good as that of women and children. Besides, most of the women were robbed up the mountain, and they are also victims. If they don't want to go down the mountain, they tied them with ropes and took them down, so that they don't hurt their lives."

Li Jiamo said coldly: "Do you know that those kids are descendants of these bandits. When they grow up, they will definitely become bandits to harm the people."

Fu Jingen glanced at him and said coldly: "I heard that your ancestors of the Li family were bamboo craftsmen, why didn't you always be bamboo craftsmen?"

He used to think about winning over him, so he was polite in his words, but now he doesn't want to give up and show mercy.

Li Jiamo looked at him with a bad look.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ke Heng hurriedly walked between the two and said, "Two sirs, it's not the time to be angry now. If we handle this place, we'll go down the mountain!"

After saying that, he persuaded Fu Jingen: "Sir, there are not only jackals, tigers, leopards, and many mosquitoes, snakes and ants on the mountain. Let's go down the mountain earlier!"

When going down the mountain, Li Jiamo was unwilling to let his soldiers carry Zhong Mazi down the mountain: "It's easy to throw people off the stretcher if the road is so difficult to walk. Why do you want yours to carry them?"

Fu Jingen's eyes were almost inflamed, but Li Jiamo refused to let go and he could only compromise.

He asked two soldiers from his personal barracks to carry Zhong Mazi. As a result, the soldier who was walking in front of him at a turn sprained his ankle and fell to the ground, and Zhong Mazi fell to the ground.

Ke Heng quickly ran to find Zhong Mazi's breath, and then said to Fu Jingen with regret, "Sir, I have no breath."

After Yin Dian learned about this, he said to Li Jiamo with a look of gratitude: "Fortunately, it's not our people who carry it, otherwise the imperial envoy would definitely send the evil fire on us."

Fu Jingen never said a word to Li Jiamo after coming down from Guidong Mountain. When he returned to Hezhou, he asked He Meng to hand over Li Jiamo to him for disposal.

He Meng still protected his brother-in-law and said, "There will be many uncontrollable things when suppressing bandits. Zhong Mazi was not injured by Jia Mo. Brother Fu, this matter cannot be blamed on him."

"If he hadn't shirked responsibility, Zhong Mazi wouldn't have fallen off the stretcher and died. General He, I think he did it on purpose, deliberately killing Zhong Mazi so that the case could not be investigated."

He Meng's heart was thrilled and said hurriedly: "Brother Fu, Jiamo has a bad temper, but I can guarantee that he has nothing to do with this case."

Fu Jingen stared at him and said, "So General He wants to cover him up?"

He Meng curled his smile and said seriously: "Mr. Fu, I know you are anxious about this case, but you can't be wronged at will."

"It seems that Lord He insists on protecting Li Jiamo?"

He Mengyi said righteously: "Unless Lord Fu can provide exact evidence, I will not hand over my home to you."

Fu Jingen left the Gan General's Mansion with a calm face.

Mao Dongfang said with some concern: "General, what should I do now?"
