674 Bandits
“What? Are you saying that my brother’s eyes can be recovered? ” Everyone, including Hu Hansan, could not believe it.
Their big brother’s eyes had been gouged out by a doctor after he had been seriously injured. How could such eyes recover?
Lin yuelan didn’t answer him directly but said, ” go find a dog. Its eye has to be about the same size as your big brother’s. Take care of it first. When I’m done with my business, I’ll treat his eye.”
It sounded a little confusing.
What did keeping a dog have to do with their big brother’s eyes?
No, dog eyes.
Was she going to put a dog’s eye in their big brother’s eye socket?
Thinking about it, they were a little surprised, but they were more pleasantly surprised.
After all, wouldn’t everyone be happy if their big brother could see with a pair of dog eyes?
“Young lady, could it be that you want to install a dog’s eye on big brother?” Hu Dong asked curiously.
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” yes, do you have any questions? ”
“No, I didn’t!” The others immediately responded.
“oh, by the way, Hu Hansan, you have to take good care of your body in the next three days. When you’re in your best condition, I’ll operate on your eyes.” Lin yuelan said.
“Also, don’t call me young lady. Since I saved your lives, then your lives belong to me. You have to call me master.” Lin yuelan ordered without any room for objection.
Hu Hansan and the others were stunned. However, when they thought about how it would be her credit if they could survive after changing their appearances, they called out, ” master!”
Lin yuelan nodded and immediately said to Lin Qingsong, ” go and make the arrangements for them.”
“Yes, master!” Lin Qingsong respectfully replied.
Lin Xujie followed Lin yuelan, and when they reached the courtyard, he asked curiously, ” master, why do you want these bandits to guard this farm? Aren’t you afraid that their identities will be exposed and that it will bring trouble to master?”
This was something he didn’t understand.
Lin yuelan said, ” in fact, this group of robbers isn’t unpardonable. Many years ago, they were also a generation of commoners. However, they were forced by others, and their families were destroyed. They had no choice but to become bandits in the black wind forest. Although they were bandits, they only robbed rich merchants and those ill-gotten gains. The people they killed were also black-hearted merchants, corrupt officials who bullied the people.”
When Lin Xujie heard his Master’s words, he was a little stunned. “Then why are there rumors that they are great bandits who Rob, rape, and kill people like flies?”
Lin yuelan said, ” that’s because the previous magistrate had to say something like that. Otherwise, why do you think they’re always able to escape every time the authorities come to arrest them?”
Lin Xujie was stunned. “Why?” After that, he came to his senses and said, ” that’s because they either have a mole in court or have help from others. Then, they’ve been allowed to escape again and again.”
“That’s right, ” Lin yuelan said. “The people who helped them were the common people. As soon as those people from the government came, they were hidden by these people.”
“Ah?” Lin Xujie was completely confused.
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” you don’t understand, do you? In fact, it was very simple. All the money that Hu Hansan and the others had robbed had been distributed to the poor. Otherwise, they would have been able to hide and live a carefree life elsewhere after so many years of evil-doing and robbing.
“However, in the past few years, their reputation as bandits had become more and more famous, and they had attracted more and more attention from the government. It was impossible for them to keep a low profile, as they knew that if they did, their families would be destroyed. Therefore, even for the sake of their families, they had no choice but to continue being bandits.
“The previous magistrate, Ji Zhongcai, had originally wanted to burn down the black wind forest and then report to the Imperial court that he had eliminated the bandits.
“However, the people around the black wind forest were all civilians. Once a fire started, it was inevitable that they would suffer. For this reason, Hu Hansan and the others had no choice but to enter the residence and kill one of Ji Zhongcai’s capable subordinates. They also kidnapped his second son as a warning.
“If Ji Zhongcai still had the idea of burning the black wind forest to the ground, they wouldn’t mind killing everyone in the Ji residence.”
