Ye Qinglin tilted her head, looking thoughtful: "Do bandits have a lot of money?"

Ye Qinglin's sudden question confused Chen and others.

Xie Xu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ye Qinglin meant, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes."

"Then let's take their money. Anyway, when we get to Cangzhou, we will need to spend money on many things.

The situation in Cangzhou is unstable, the price of grain has been rising, and we have lost all our silver. If we can take the silver from the bandits, then we won't have to worry about the silver anymore.

We only want silver, and we will return the grain to the villagers, which is all their hard work."

Ye Qinglin smiled and spoke out what was in her mind.

After hearing this, everyone blinked and looked at Ye Qinglin in astonishment.

Ye Qinglin smiled awkwardly and touched her nose: "Do you think it's bad?"

"Great! Very good!" Bai Yu'er was the first to speak. She walked up to Ye Qinglin and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I never knew you had the potential to be a bandit."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu knocked Bai Yuer on the head and said, "Yuer, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Yuer stuck out her tongue and smiled: "I agree with my sister-in-law's idea. The money of those bandits is ill-gotten gains. It would be a waste if we don't take it. If we take it, we can use it to do good deeds."

When the others heard this, they nodded slowly, agreeing with Bai Yuer's statement.

Therefore, Ye Qinglin's idea was unanimously affirmed by everyone, and the next step was to discuss how to deal with the bandits.

In the end, it was decided that Chen, Su Yun, Xie Ming, Xie Li and the Liu father and son would stay in the house, while Dongfang Yu, Bai Yuer and Ye Qinglin pretended to be villagers and took Xie Xu with the head of the village to meet the bandits.

When the village head heard their plan, he was very grateful and immediately lent clothes to the three of them.

Bai Yuer knew how to disguise herself, and in a short while she dressed herself and Ye Qinglin up as young men.

The time was almost up. Dongfang Yu pushed Xie Xu, who was lying on a cart, and followed the village head. Ye Qinglin and Bai Yuer followed behind Dongfang Yu.

One hundred meters away from the village entrance, the head of the village raised his hand to signal Ye Qinglin and the others to stop.

The head of the village took out a whistle and blew it three times. Then, two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of the woods and approached the head of the village with arrogant steps.

"Where are the people?" The tall man's voice was rough, and it sounded like he was shouting.

The head of the village bent over, looking flattering: "Sir, the person is right behind us, what you said before counts!"

The tall man chuckled and said in a perfunctory tone: "Of course it counts."

When the village head heard this, he knew that the bandit's words were not credible. He bit his lip and said fiercely: "Master, I have done what you said, you can't go back on your word!"

"What's wrong with us changing our minds? Humph, can you beat us?" The short man said with disdain; "Stop talking nonsense and give the person to us quickly."

After the short man finished speaking, he pushed the village head away and walked towards Ye Qinglin and the other two.

Seeing the headman being pushed to the ground and his forehead hitting the stone and bleeding, Bai Yuer became angry and drew the sword in her hand and put it on the short man's neck.

The short man was startled and looked at Bai Yuer with wide eyes filled with fear.

When the tall man saw this, he roared, raised his fist and swung it over, but Ye Qinglin caught it.

Then Ye Qinglin swung her hand lightly, raised her fist and hit the tall man's stomach. The tall man staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and fainting.

Seeing this scene, the village head and the short man were stunned. They stared at Ye Qinglin with disbelief written all over their faces.

Ye Qinglin was worried that the tall man would wake up, so she sprinkled some enhanced sleeping pills on him, and then asked the village head to tie him up and take him to the village to keep a good watch.

As for the short man, Ye Qinglin walked up to him and sprinkled a handful of poison powder.

"You...you...did...what...to me..."

The short man was more afraid of Ye Qinglin than the person holding a sword at his neck.

Ye Qinglin smiled brightly: "It's just a little bit of poison."

Upon hearing this, the short man's face turned pale and his legs trembled slightly. Before he could beg for mercy, Ye Qinglin spoke first.

“You don’t have to be so scared, it’s really just a little bit of poison, and it won’t take effect until five days later, when you’ll have abdominal pain because worms are gnawing at your stomach.

But don't worry, the pain won't last long. After five hours, the worms will crawl out of your stomach. By then, you will be dead and naturally won't feel the pain anymore."

After saying that, Ye Qinglin gave the short man a bright smile.

Seeing the smile in front of him, the short man turned pale with fright and knelt down.

"Hero, spare your life!"

Ye Qinglin coughed lightly and continued, "It's okay if you want me to give you the antidote, but you have to do something for me."

"My lord, not to mention just one, ten will be no problem." The short man vowed.

Ye Qinglin chuckled: "I want you to take us to the village."

The short man nodded continuously without any hesitation.

He was afraid that if he hesitated for a moment, his life would be in danger.

Ye Qinglin also took advantage of the short guy because she saw that he was afraid of death and was greedy for life.

She didn't know why, but she knew what kind of person the short man was just by looking at him.

Afterwards, Ye Qinglin came to Xie Xu's side and said softly, "Xie Xu, I will go with my brothers and sisters. You wait for us in the house."

"I..." Xie Xu wanted to say that he would go with him, but thinking of his own body, he sighed and nodded: "Okay."

Ye Qinglin asked Li Zheng to send Xie Xu back, and the three of them went to the mountain village with the short man.

Looking at the short man leading the way in front, Bai Yuer came up to Ye Qinglin with sparkling eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you were so awesome just now."

If she didn't know Ye Qinglin's plan, she would really think there was such a poison.

Anyway, when Bai Yuer saw Ye Qinglin's appearance at that time, she felt a little uneasy.

Ye Qinglin smiled and touched the tip of Bai Yuer's nose.

Following the short man's steps, I took a shortcut and arrived at the back door of the village in half an hour.

The back door of the village is covered by some vines, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find it.

The short man moved the vine away and knocked on the door, first three times, then two times, and finally three times.

Then, the door opened from the inside, and two bandits stood at the door looking at the short man.

"Thirteen, why are you alone here? Where's Eleven?"

"Didn't you say you were going to catch Xie Xu? You ran back without catching him!"

The short man snorted angrily: "Stop talking, Xie Xu was caught in the village. Eleven took a fancy to a widow in the village and said he wanted to taste the taste of a widow, so he threw the person to me."

When the two gatekeepers heard this, they frowned and looked alert: "You shouldn't come back by yourself. You should wait for Eleven to come back together. Otherwise, if something happens to Eleven, what will we do then?"

As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, he smelled a fragrance and quickly fell to the ground.

Ye Qinglin clapped her hands: "Okay, we can go in."

As she spoke, Ye Qinglin was the first to step through the wooden door and walk in, followed by Bai Yuer, and Dongfang Yu also followed in. The short man looked at Ye Qinglin in fear and glanced at his companion on the ground.

"I'm sorry, brother. I was forced to do this. I had no choice but to do this in order to survive."

After saying this, the short man quickly followed Ye Qinglin and the others.

After confirming the direction of the kitchen with the short man, Ye Qinglin and the other two went to the kitchen and added some ingredients to the rice porridge that the bandits were going to drink.
