Night Owl rushed over and swung his knife.

Several yamen runners nearby were startled at first, then rushed over and hacked a dozen bandits to death with their swords.

"Sir, it's safe here, let's rush in." Night Owl took the lead and ran in front.

Wherever he went, he killed any bandits he saw.

The yamen runners behind were also infected. The bloodiness and sense of honor in their bones were aroused. They held knives in their hands and chopped the bandits like cutting melons and vegetables. The bandits had no ability to resist under the knives of the yamen runners and soldiers. They watched their own heads and those of their companions fly far away.

The boss heard the noise and came out, leaning on a stick. When he saw the soldiers coming, his pupils shrank sharply. He wondered what was going on at the pass and how so many soldiers were allowed in. But then he thought, if he was in such a state, he was afraid that others would not be much better off. The Tiger Camp was finished.

At this moment, no matter how dumb he was, he figured it out. The Tiger Camp must have been drugged, otherwise they wouldn't be in this state and unable to fight.

"If you destroy my village, I, Xiashanhu, will not let you go. Even if I die, I will become a fierce ghost..."

Night Owl slashed at him with a knife. The boss, who used to be very skilled in martial arts, was now like an eighty-year-old man, moving slowly. Night Owl slashed him diagonally in the front, and the boss died with his eyes open.

"You talk too much." Night Owl glanced at the boss's body.

"Yexiao, you're great." The few yamen runners behind were covered in blood. Today was truly the most exciting day for them since they started working as yamen runners.

"Hurry up and find out if there are any fish that have escaped the net. If we let the tiger go back into the mountains, the people will suffer in the future." said Ye Xiao.

"Correct."

Everyone dispersed and continued to look for any fish that had slipped through the net.

Lord Wang's face was also purple. The Tiger Stronghold had been entrenched in his jurisdiction for many years, disrupting social order and causing him, as the garrison commander, a lot of headaches. The imperial court had come to suppress the bandits several times but returned empty-handed.

He never expected that the tough Tiger Village could be broken by the joint efforts of him and Lord Jin. He never dared to think of it even in his dreams.

"Sir, all 823 bandits in Menghu Village have been wiped out, including 65 women and 121 children. How should we deal with them?" someone came to report.

Lord Jin's head was buzzing with pain. The bandits were wiped out, but what about these women and children? Although they did not rob or kill anyone, they were the descendants of bandits and enjoyed the life brought by the things the bandits robbed. They were not innocent, but killing them like this was really cruel. If they were let go, these were the bandits' wives and children, and who knew they would come back in the future and follow the old path of their fathers, bringing even greater trouble to society.

"Take him back first, put him in jail, take inventory of the Menghu Village warehouse, and confiscate all the materials." Lord Jin now wants to quickly check the Menghu Village warehouse to see if there is anything from the Ren family.

"Sir, these are the only things in the warehouse." The bailiffs brought over several large boxes.

Lord Jin came over and took a closer look, confirming that it was the stuff provided by the Ren family. And the large boxes were all engraved with the Ren family's mark.

After confirming that they were Ren family's things, Lord Jin felt relieved. As for the missing gold and silver, there was nothing he could do about it.

As more and more things were turned out, Lord Jin felt a little more at ease. This time he used the entire government's strength to suppress the bandits, which was also a risky move. If he succeeded, he would be promoted and awarded by the court. If he failed, he would sacrifice his life for his country.

Fortunately, I won the bet.

All the women and children in Menghu Village were forced back to Wan'an Town. When the people of Yongning County and Wan'an Town heard that Menghu Village had been wiped out, they all cheered.

This cancer that had harmed several towns in Yongning County was finally eliminated.

Lord Jin immediately wrote a letter to the Yongning County Magistrate, who then wrote a memorial and sent them to the capital together.

When Emperor Dongqi heard that a small town government office of dozens of people and the garrison of two hundred people had taken down the Menghu Stronghold that the imperial court had been unable to attack for a long time, he happily waved his hand and gave rewards.

As for the women and children, they were all sold, and the money was kept for use by the Yongning County and Wan'an Town government offices.

Mi Yao was unaware of all this and didn't care. At the moment, she was watching Daya eating candy and dancing with joy. Her two sons were also running and jumping happily beside her.

Children's happiness is that simple.

A week later, Yexiao's house was finally built. Looking at the high walls, the imposing house, and the neatly arranged back hills, Mi Yao felt a sense of belonging.

On the day the project was completed, the workers were paid.

Mi Yao took the children to the new house and walked around every room.

"Mom, when will we move to our new home?" Zichen asked.

"Let's ask your father later." Mi Mo wondered whether he should choose a good date for moving. It seemed that the ancients paid attention to this.

In the evening, Ye Xiao came back later than usual, and Mi Yao took Ye Xiao, who had been waiting for him, to come back for dinner.

"Dad, why are you back late today?" Zi Chen saw Ye Xiao and ran over.

"Well, Dad bought some things after work. These are for you and your brother." Ye Xiao took out two large boxes from behind.

"It's a toy." Zi Chen opened the box and shouted happily.

"Thank you, Dad." Zi Yu held the toy in his hand and couldn't let it go. This was the first time his dad gave them a gift since he grew up.

"Let's eat first." Mi Yao saw the father and son still wasting time and spoke quickly.

"Dad, have you bought a gift for Mom?" Zichen looked up and asked solemnly.

Mi Yao was stunned. She didn't expect that her son still remembered whether she had a gift or not.

"Secret!" Ye Xiao glanced at Mi Yao and said mysteriously.

After hearing this, Mi Yao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Tonight Mi Yao prepared braised pork with preserved vegetables, stir-fried rapeseed with mushrooms, braised carp, stewed tofu, and rice.

Yexiao was in a particularly good mood today. He not only picked up fish for the children, but also picked up some vegetables for Miyao.

"Eat it yourself, you don't have to pick it up for yourself." Mi Yao said.

Yexiao didn't reply, but picked up some food for Miyao from time to time.

After dinner, the two little guys did horse stance for a while and then went to wash up.

After Mi Yao coaxed her two children to sleep, she leaned against the head of the bed and read a book, which was an English version of an inspirational article.

"Dangdang"

"Mi Yao, are you asleep?" The magnetic voice of Night Owl came.

Mi Yao wanted to say she was asleep, but then she remembered that she had to ask Ye Xiao about moving, so she said, "The door is not bolted."

Ye Xiao walked in and saw a lamp made of unknown material, which was surprisingly beautiful and emitted a soft light. The two children were already asleep. Mi Yao was holding a book in her hand. Ye Xiao glanced at it and then said, "This is for you!"

Ye Xiao took out a peach wood hairpin from his sleeve. There was a blooming peach blossom and two buds on the head of the hairpin. It was very beautiful and well-made. Every peach petal was polished very smoothly.

"Did you do it?" Mi Yao asked.

"Yeah." Ye Xiao picked up the hairpin and walked over, wanting to put it on Mi Yao's head, but Mi Yao dodged.

Ye Xiao's heart sank.
