Su Li's suspicions about Butler Tang grew wildly in her mind.

Seeing that Butler Tang was walking hurriedly towards the edge of the village, she quietly followed him.

The mountain path was rugged, and Su Li carefully navigated through the forest, afraid of losing her way.

Finally, near a secluded cave, she saw Butler Tang meet with several menacing-looking men.

One of them, a man with a fierce face and a large knife at his waist, said in a gruff voice, "Steward Tang, you'd better handle this matter well, or we'll have trouble explaining it to the brothers."

Butler Tang smiled ingratiatingly and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, as long as we proceed according to plan, you'll be well rewarded."

Su Li hid behind a tree, her heart pounding. It was clear that Steward Tang had indeed colluded with the bandits.

Knowing the gravity of the matter, Su Li hurried down the mountain to find Young Master Tang and Peach Blossom after they left, and told them everything she had seen and heard.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Tang's face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists: "I never expected Uncle Zhong to be so heartless!"

Peach Blossom also looked alarmed: "Then what should we do?"

Su Li calmly said, "We need to gather more evidence to expose his conspiracy. The most urgent task is to deal with the bandits; they are threatening the safety of the village."

After discussing it, the three decided to unite with the hunters and able-bodied men in the village.

Su Li and Young Master Tang approached several respected hunters and earnestly said, "Uncles, we have discovered bandits behind the mountain, and they are colluding with Steward Tang, which is extremely dangerous. We would like to ask for your help to eliminate them."

An older hunter frowned: "This is no small matter. Although we hunters are skilled, the bandits are fierce. Can we handle it?"

Young Master Tang quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. We have a plan, and we are all doing this to protect our village. As long as we work together, we will definitely succeed."

At this moment, a young butcher stepped forward: "What are you afraid of? We are strong and healthy. We can't let these bandits do evil under our noses. I'm willing to help!"

The group discussed amongst themselves, but still had reservations, as fighting the bandits was fraught with danger.

Seeing this, Su Li raised her voice and said:

"Uncles and brothers, I know you're all afraid, and I am too! But what will happen to our village if the bandits and Steward Tang succeed in their plot? What will our families face? Now, we have the opportunity to take the initiative and protect our home. Moreover, we have strength in numbers, and as long as we work together, we will definitely defeat them!"

As she spoke, Su Li took out a piece of cloth bearing a bandit's mark that she had picked up while following Butler Tang.

"Look, everyone, this is what I saw Steward Tang tear off the bandits when he met them. I also heard them discussing their shady dealings."

The crowd stared at the tattered cloth, their faces gradually darkening, and they began to whisper among themselves.

A young hunter scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Su Li, we believe what you say, but the bandits are all fierce and brutal. Although we are strong, if we really fight them, we will inevitably get hurt, or even lose our lives. This..."

Before he could finish speaking, everyone fell silent.

Young Master Tang stood up and said sincerely, "Everyone, I am deeply grateful for the care shown to me by Miss Peach Blossom and everyone else. Now that the village is in trouble, I will never back down. Although I am not a martial artist, I am willing to fight alongside you all. If we succeed this time, the village will be at peace, and we can live in peace."

As everyone listened to Su Li and Young Master Tang's words, their passion was gradually ignited.

The burly butcher slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared, "What are you afraid of! We can't let these thugs bully us! I'll go!"

Soon after, more and more people responded, and eventually, everyone reached a consensus and decided to fight the bandits.

To avoid alerting the perpetrators, those involved did not publicize the matter widely, but rather organized it quietly within a small circle.

Su Li gathered everyone together and began to formulate a detailed plan.

She took out two jars, and everyone looked puzzled.

Su Li's older brother stepped forward to explain:

"This jar contains sleeping powder; it will make people dizzy. The other jar contains medicine for stopping bleeding. We'll attack their stronghold while the bandits are out raiding. Once inside, we'll use the sleeping powder to knock out the remaining bandits, then set the stronghold on fire. When the bandits return, we'll ambush them and wipe them out with arrows."

Everyone nodded in agreement, making sure to remember the plan.

That night, under the cover of darkness, the group quietly made their way toward the bandits' lair.

By the faint moonlight, they discovered several bandits patrolling around the mountain stronghold.

Su Li gave the others a wink, and they quickly dispersed, each carrying a jar of sleeping potion, and stealthily made their way towards the bandits as planned.

One hunter was the first to act. He crept up behind a bandit and, when he was a few steps away, suddenly opened a jar and threw the sleeping powder at the bandit.

Before the bandit could react, he inhaled the sleeping drug, immediately covered his mouth and nose, coughed violently, and began to sway.

Upon seeing this, the other bandits immediately became alert, shouting loudly and charging towards the group while brandishing their broadswords.

Su Li shouted, "Attack!"

The group scattered the sleeping pills at the bandits, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of the powder.

The bandits were choked by the sleeping potion and couldn't open their eyes; coughs and curses rose and fell.

The villagers seized the opportunity to rush forward and engage in close combat with the bandits.

A butcher, possessing immense strength, stood facing a bandit, wielding a sharp butcher's knife. The bandit brandished his knife, slashing at the butcher. The butcher dodged to the side, avoiding the attack, and then plunged his knife into the bandit's abdomen. The bandit screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground.

On the other side, a young hunter was surrounded by two bandits. He dodged left and right, but his arm was still cut by the bandits' knives.

But he did not back down. He drew a dagger from his waist, seized the opportunity, and plunged the dagger into the thigh of a bandit. The bandit cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Su Li, holding a wooden stick, was dealing with a bandit.

The bandit was tall and strong; every time he swung his broadsword, it created a whooshing sound.

Su Li nimbly dodged the attacks, spotted an opening in the bandit's moves, and struck the bandit's wrist hard with her wooden stick. The bandit cried out in pain and dropped his knife to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Li kicked the bandit to the ground, then used a wooden stick to hold his neck and subdue him.

The battle intensified, flames soared into the sky within the mountain stronghold, and the shouts of battle were deafening.

Although the villagers were initially flustered, they gradually regained their composure under Su Li's guidance and encouragement.

However, just as they were preparing to leave, the bandits who had gone out returned ahead of schedule.

They had initially thought there were only a dozen or so bandits, but now more than twenty of them surged out and surrounded them.

Su Li's heart tightened, and she shouted, "Everyone, hold on!"

The two sides instantly descended into chaos.

The bandits brandished their broadswords, their menacing aura palpable, the flashing blades carrying a deadly threat.

Although the village hunters and butchers were brave, they lacked combat experience, and soon some of them were wounded.

Su Li was extremely anxious, waving the wooden stick in her hand to fend off the bandits while trying to think of a solution.

But the number of bandits increased, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. They had no choice but to retreat step by step, and with each step back, their despair and resentment grew.

Sweat and blood mingled and slid down his face, blurring his vision.

Just when everyone was almost in dire straits, a series of orderly hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.

It turned out that the government troops had arrived.

The leading general roared, "You audacious bandits! How dare you commit evil deeds here! Today, we will wipe you all out!"

The officers and soldiers charged into the battlefield like tigers descending the mountain, engaging in fierce fighting with the bandits.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandits tried to escape, but they were attacked from both sides by government soldiers and villagers and were quickly subdued.

After the battle, the officers and soldiers approached Su Li and the others, cupped their hands and said, "Thanks to your brave actions, we were able to wipe out these bandits in one fell swoop. Otherwise, they would have harmed countless more people."

Su Li and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Upon returning to the village, the villagers, who had already received the news, gathered at the village entrance, eagerly awaiting his arrival.

When they saw Su Li and the others return safely, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Su Li's mother, with her sharp eyes, spotted her daughter immediately. She quickly pushed through the crowd, rushed forward, and pulled Su Li into a tight embrace, her voice trembling with tears:

"You two children, you kept something so dangerous from me! If something really happened to you, how are your father and I supposed to live?!"

Su Li gently patted her mother's back, comforting her:

"Mother, my brother and I are fine, aren't we? Don't worry, we had a plan, nothing will go wrong."

In fact, Su Li herself was still shaken by the close call, but now that she had returned safely, she didn't want to worry her mother anymore, so she simply put all her fears behind her.

An elderly woman with white hair, her eyes filled with tears, walked forward shakily and took Su Li's hand: "Good children, you've finally come back. You've suffered so much for our village! If it weren't for you, this village would probably have been destroyed by bandits. I really don't know how to thank you."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down, but Su Li quickly helped the old lady up, saying, "No, this is what we should do."

The young wives surrounded the injured hunter and butcher, their eyes filled with heartache and admiration: "You are so brave. You were seriously injured while protecting the village. You must take good care of yourselves."

The children excitedly weaved through the crowd, shouting, "The uncles are great heroes!"

Some people in the crowd said with lingering fear, "It's still scary to think about. We didn't realize that bandits were so close to us. We can't let our guard down anymore."

But more than anything, there was praise and pride for Su Li and the others: "Our village has produced so many brave people; it's a source of pride for the entire village!"

Everyone chimed in with their own words, their gratitude towards Su Li and the others overflowing.

Meanwhile, in the village, Steward Tang learned that the bandits had been wiped out, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

He paced back and forth in the room, his eyes filled with fear and unease.

When Young Master Tang and Su Li stood before him with the account book they had found in the bandits' lair, accompanied by government soldiers, Steward Tang's face instantly turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled involuntarily: "What...what do you mean by this? What does this ledger have to do with me? Don't wrong an innocent person!"

Su Li snorted coldly and slammed the ledger on the table: "Butler Tang, are you still trying to deny it? This ledger clearly records the evidence of your collusion with the bandits and the transfer of benefits. Do you think you can get away with this?"

Butler Tang's eyes flickered, and he wanted to argue, but when he saw the soldiers' cold eyes and the iron chains in their hands, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. The muscles on his face twitched, and his eyes were full of despair.

He knew that his wishful thinking had completely failed.

The soldiers stepped forward, pulled him up from the ground, and said coldly, "Hmph, once we get to the government office, you can try to argue your way out of it!"

After saying that, he handcuffed Steward Tang and took him away.

Like a walking corpse, Steward Tang was dragged away by the soldiers and disappeared from everyone's sight.
