Chapter 1846 The Blind Man and the Bearded Man Tied to a Tree: All the Bandits Sent to Justice

Chapter 1846 The Blind Man and the Bearded Man Tied to a Tree: All the Bandits Sent to Justice

When Zhao Jun didn't mention sending Amber Dragon to the authorities, some people behind him did have different ideas.

This amber dragon was stolen from bandits, so it was obtained through legitimate means. Selling this treasure, which cost almost nothing, for ten or twenty thousand would cover the round-trip travel expenses, even if I didn't get the lion's share.

Since Zhao Jun had said he would send the stolen goods to the police station, no one present dared to object.

However, Xu Qianli had a different opinion on how to deal with these bandits.

"Chief Zhao, this won't do!" Xu Qianli said to Zhao Jun, "These guys are all scum, we have to send them to the police station too!"

Upon hearing Xu Qianli's words, the expressions of the thirteen bandits all changed. The crackdown had only been going on for a few years; slogans against highway bandits and bullies were still painted on walls in many places. If they were handed over to the authorities, wouldn't they all be in deep trouble?

In an instant, the thirteen bandits all begged for mercy.

"Alright! Shut up, all of you!" Zhao Jun shouted, and the bandits quickly shut up, knowing that their fate was in Zhao Jun's hands.

"Boss Xu." Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun tried to persuade Xu Qianli, saying, "We can all be considered to be people who have been around in the martial arts world. What's that saying? 'Martial arts matters should be settled in the martial arts world.' We've already fought, so let's just leave it at that."

Zhao Jun's words are untenable. If matters of the martial world were to be settled within the martial world, why would Amber Dragon be sent to the authorities?

At this moment, Xu Qianli could not refuse Zhao Jun's face. However, remembering that he had been injured by these bandits, Xu Qianli leaped forward and kicked the kneeling Zhao San to the ground.

"Alright, Chief Zhao!" Xu Qianli said to Zhao Jun, "I'll give you this face!"

"Thank you, Boss Xu." Zhao Jun clasped his hands in thanks to Xu Qianli, then said to Zhao San and the other bandits, "From now on, be good people and work hard to support your families. Do you hear me?"

"I heard!"

"I heard!"

……

The bandits readily agreed, and Zhao Jun chuckled upon seeing this, then called for them to leave.

After watching Zhao Jun and the others leave, the bandits collapsed to the ground one by one.

"Hey, you two, Zheng Laosi and Bai Laoer!" Zhao San, lying on the ground, mumbled incoherently, "Where did you two run off to with your guns?"

……

After Zhao Jun and the others emerged from the woods, they all got into the car. Once inside, Li Ruhai gave Zhao Jun a thumbs-up and praised him, "Brother, you really are something!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jun asked with a smile. Li Ruhai said with admiration, "Brother, you were so righteous just now! Especially when the leader said he would sell you the amber dragon cheaply, I saw that Boss Zhang and the others were tempted."

At this point, Li Ruhai said to Wang Qiang beside him, "It's all thanks to my older brother, who turned the tables on them right then and there."

"Of course, haha." Hearing Li Ruhai's words, Zhao Jun laughed and said, "We have to have a stance, right?"

"Is that so?" Li Ruhai said casually with a smile, "The Han and the traitors are irreconcilable enemies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ruhai regretted it. Determined to become Zhao Jun's most trusted confidant, Li Ruhai always restrained himself from using idioms or quoting poetry in front of Zhao Jun, lest he embarrass Zhao Jun.

I just blurted it out on a whim.

To Li Ruhai's surprise, Zhao Jun, who was starting the car, turned to him and said, "Ruhai, you're right. The Han and the traitors cannot coexist."

"Huh?" Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun in surprise. He blinked, opened his mouth, and tentatively asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, you like this phrase too?"

In Li Ruhai's mind, Zhao Jun shouldn't even know what "The Later Memorial on the Expedition" is.

"Ah!" Zhao Jun said casually with a smile, "A true hero and a thief are sworn enemies!"

Li Ruhai: "..."

“Brother Jun.” As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhao Jinhui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, chimed in, “Then in that case, we shouldn’t let those people go.”

As he spoke, Zhao Jinhui gestured with his chubby hand towards the window and said, "These guys are like dogs that can't change their nature. They've robbed us so many times already."

As soon as Zhao Jinhui finished speaking, he felt someone tugging at him. He looked back and saw Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, and Li Ruhai, who were sitting in the back row, all giving him meaningful glances.

The eight cars formed a long line and slowly headed south, with Zhao Jun at the front keeping his speed very slow.

At this moment, dozens of meters away, Pang Gaoming, Guo Dahuzi, and others who were standing on the car or perched on the tree shouted, "They're leaving! They're leaving! Zhao Jun and the others are leaving!"

As they spoke, they all got out of the car and down from the tree.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Pang Zhendong called out, "Hurry up and get in the car, let's go together quickly."

The seven men boarded two vehicles and chased after Zhao Jun. At the same time, Zhao San, his face covered in blood, was whipping two men carrying guns at the edge of the woods.

Zhao San and his group had guns; they already had some themselves, and later they stole three more from Lin Guodong and his men who were escorting the Amber Dragon.

The four guns consisted of one No. 16 gun barrel and two No. 56 semi-automatic rifles. Zhao San and his men sold the No. 56 semi-automatic rifles and kept the No. 16 gun barrel.

In this way, the bandits had a No. 16 tree and a hanging pipe.

Just now, Zhao San led his men to negotiate with Zhao Jun, leaving two gunmen to ambush in the woods. But as soon as Wang Qiang and Zhang Yuanmin got out of the car, they aimed their semi-automatic rifles at the woods on both sides.

Bai Er and Zheng Si, who were left behind by Zhao San to shoot from the shadows, didn't dare to make a move. They waited until Zhao Jun led his men to subdue Zhao San, and then they ran away.

But they hadn't run far when the commotion subsided, and they stealthily crept back. Only after Zhao Jun and his men had retreated from the woods did the two men, guns slung over their shoulders, come over to pledge their loyalty to Zhao San.

Zhao San was in excruciating pain all over his body, but he couldn't stay in the woods.

As he walked, he cursed and beat Bai Er and Zheng Si. The gunmen in the bandit's den were all quite skilled.

Zheng Si has excellent eyesight; he was born with owl-like eyes and can see things even at night.

Just as Zheng Si was being thoroughly scolded by Zhao San and trying to find a way to escape, he inadvertently saw two cars approaching from the north.

"Third Brother!" Zheng Si pointed and called to Zhao San, "Another carriage is coming!"

"Hmm?" Zhao San looked in the direction Zheng Si pointed and saw a Santana in front and a Jeep behind, slowly driving along the road.

"Holy crap!" Zhao San, who had lost his ginseng and been beaten, flashed a fierce light in his eyes and pulled the No. 16 hanging pipe off Bai Er's shoulder.

With a fierce determination in his heart, Zhao San leaned No. 16 onto his shoulder and went straight for his face. He held the barrel with his left hand, pressed his right thumb hard on the big dog, the so-called hammer, and then pulled the trigger towards the front of the Santana.

"Oh!"

"boom!"

In the Santana, Guo Dahuzi was driving while bragging to Huang Wenbin about how wise his decision to follow Zhao Jun was.

With a loud bang, Guo Dahuzi's body jolted violently, the Santana stalled instantly, and black smoke billowed from the hood.

Before Guo Da Hu Zi could react, people sprang out of the nearby woods. They were all wounded, but their eyes were bloodshot.

Guo Dahuzi and Huang Wenbin in the car were completely stunned. After Zhao San rushed over and smashed the windshield with the butt of his gun, some bandits pounced on them and grabbed Guo Dahuzi and Huang Wenbin with the broken glass.

"Run! Run!" Pang Zhendong, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind, was a seasoned veteran. He reacted quickly and, after regaining his senses, gestured and shouted to Pang Gaoming, who was driving, directing him to turn around and run away.

Pang Gaoming, trembling, turned the steering wheel, just as he heard his father mutter, "That bastard Zhao Jun! Why didn't he tie these people up?"

No sooner had Pang Zhendong finished speaking than there was another loud bang. The right rear wheel of the jeep they were riding in burst open, the car shuddered violently, and then came to a stop.

Zheng Si raised his gun and led six men to charge over. Pang Gaoming roared and rushed off the vehicle with No. 16 in his hand, but before he could raise his gun, he was tackled by a bandit.

The bandits, who had just been humiliated by Zhao Jun, were extremely fierce. When they saw the two men from the Pang family get off the car with guns in hand, they rushed over to seize the guns and beat the men.

The weak fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless. The four members of the Pang family gang were quickly subdued by the bandits led by Zheng Si, leaving only the trembling blind Pang behind.

"Get out of here!" Zheng Si grabbed Pang the blind man by the collar and dragged him out of the passenger seat.

The moment Pang the Blind Man's feet touched the ground, his legs went weak.

"Slap!" Zheng Si slapped him hard across the face, almost knocking the eyeball out of Pang the blind man's fake eye.

As Zheng Si made his move, the five members of the Pang family gang were brutally beaten by the bandits.

Guo Dahuzi and Huang Wenbin didn't fare any better; screams of agony filled the air.

Ten minutes later, the five members of Pang's gang, along with Guo Dahuzi and Huang Wenbin, were tied to poplar trees by the roadside.

Their shirts were stripped off, and the bandits took all the money from their clothes and pants.

At this moment, Zhao San was leading his men to search the Santana and Jiefang trucks, and all the valuables, money, and ginseng inside were looted.

After gathering the valuables together, Zhao San waved to the group and said, "Let's go, head towards Fusong!"

The bandits followed Zhao San away, leaving Pang Zhendong and his six companions to enjoy the breeze in the tree.

"Help!" Seeing that the bandits had left, Guo the Bearded tried to call for help.

"Don't shout! Don't shout!" Pang Zhendong shouted hoarsely to stop Guo Dahuzi, saying, "Don't call them back!"

Pang Zhendong is right. If you're going to shout, wait until the bandits are far away. Shouting as soon as they're gone is incredibly disrespectful to their profession.

Seven people were tied to seven trees, which were not in a straight line. Guo Dahuzi was relatively in front. At this moment, he struggled to turn his head and look to Pang Zhendong's right, whispering, "Old Pang, there were people over there just now!"

"Ah!" Pang Zhendong tried to turn his head but couldn't, while Li Baoyu, carrying a gun, ran through the woods.

After running about 180 meters, Li Baoyu dashed into the woods and onto the road.

Although it was just a dirt road, Li Baoyu's speed soared as soon as he stepped onto it, covering more than eighty meters in ten seconds and arriving in front of Zhao Jun.

At this moment, eight cars were parked on the side of the road, and Zhao Jun and others were gathered together discussing something.

"Brother!" Li Baoyu reported to Zhao Jun without even panting, "They've headed towards Fusong along the road."

"How far is it from us?" Zhao Jun asked. Li Baoyu replied, "Right now... it's no more than two li away."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun turned around and looked at everyone, saying, "Who's coming with me? We won't drive; we'll chase them along the woods and catch them off guard!"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, everyone responded enthusiastically. Even 61-year-old Shao Tianpeng was no exception; all 36 of them wanted to follow Zhao Jun in the pursuit of the thieves.

"Jinhui, you stay!" Upon hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Jinhui's chubby face fell, and he said, "Brother Jun, I'm going too! I'm sure I can keep up with you!"

"Brother!" Zhao Jun pointed to the Jiefang truck and said, "Get in this truck. When you hear the gunshots, drive over and pick us up."

Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Zhao Jinhui was still unwilling. Then Zhao Jun said, "Not only do you have to stay, but we also have to leave at least eight people in these eight vehicles. When you hear the gunshots, you all have to go back."

After saying this, Zhao Jun pointed at Xie Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you stay here too."

Although Jie Chen also wanted to go with Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun had spoken, so he couldn't say anything.

Thus, Xie Chen, Zhao Jinhui, and eight others stayed behind to provide support, while the rest of them all went into the woods. Led by Li Baoyu, they chased after Zhao San and the others.

"Help! Help..." A cry for help reached his ears along the way. Just as Shao Zhiqiang was about to speak, he saw Li Baoyu running towards him.

"Brother!" Li Baoyu approached Zhao Jun, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "The thieves haven't gone far; they're only about two miles from here now."

"Shall we take the main road?" Zhao Jun asked. Li Baoyu nodded emphatically and said, "They were beaten up by us the other day, and they're all injured. It's been quite difficult for them to travel."

"Then let's hurry and give chase!" Zhao Jun said. Zhang Yuanmin waved to Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, investigate further and report back!"

Li Baoyu raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and ran away.

Just then, cries for help came from above. Before Zhao Jun could speak, Zhang Yuejin said, "Let's ignore them for now and chase after them!"

The group continued their chase, and ten minutes later, Li Baoyu returned.

"Brother!" Li Baoyu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Jun and said, "They're still on their way, only a little over a mile away from us! Let's catch up with them in one go!"

"Chase them!" Zhao Jun waved his hand and roared, "We'll teach them to behave, but they won't. Catch them and send them all to the police station!"

Zhao Jun's words were echoed by everyone. Li Baoyu then rushed off, and the group continued on their way.

Watching Li Baoyu's disappearing figure, Shao Jun couldn't help but exclaim, "My brother Baoyu is really fast!"

"So what are you thinking about?" Zhang Yuanmin laughed. "Your brother Baoyu's nickname is Little Dai Zong."

Five minutes later, the group saw Li Baoyu waving at them from behind the poplar trees. They tiptoed over and heard Li Baoyu whisper, "They're eating by the roadside up ahead. Let's go over and take them all down."

Upon hearing Li Baoyu's words, Zhao Jun quickly assigned his men. He divided the twenty-eight men into three teams, personally leading fifteen strong men, including Li Baoyu, as the vanguard, with ten men, including Wang Qiang, providing support, and Shao Tianpeng, Zhang Fuyou, and Li Ruhai bringing up the rear.

And so, led by Li Baoyu, the group lifted their feet high and stepped lightly, slowly making their way toward the edge of the woods.

Just then, the laughter of Zhao San and the others reached their ears. Zhao Jun held a gun in one hand and swung his fist in the other. Li Baoyu was the first to rush over.

Zhao San and his men robbed Pang Jiabang and Guo Dahuzi, taking away a lot of dry rations and two military water bottles. These bandits had been busy all morning without eating, and now they were hungry, so they sat by the roadside to eat and drink a little.

Zhao San was chewing on a steamed cake in his left hand and reaching for a military water bottle with his right when he heard a loud shout: "Traitor, prepare to die!"

Zhao San was startled and turned around, only to find everything dark above him. He didn't see Li Baoyu rushing over, stepping on the back of a bandit.

When Zhao San finally saw Li Baoyu clearly, he was struck hard on the left cheek, his head snapped to the side, and he fainted instantly.

If Li Baoyu were born in ancient times, he would be a fierce general like Hu Che'er. At this moment, he swung his spear and knocked down four people in succession with a series of cracking sounds.

Before the remaining bandits could even react, and before they could even get up, Zhao Jun and his first team had captured them. When the second team arrived, they worked with the first team to tie the bandits up tightly with ropes.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Zhao Jun waved to Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Brother, send a signal to Xiaochen and Jinhui."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin took out a Type 54 pistol and fired three shots into the air.

The gunshots reached Pang the Blind and the others first. Upon hearing the gunshots, Pang the Blind and Guo the Bearded were extremely excited and shouted for help.

Amid their continuous cries for help, a Jiefang truck sped past, followed by a Jeep and a Santana.

People were tied up by the roadside, and there were also damaged cars, but Zhao Jinhui and his men didn't have time to pay attention to them. They stepped on the gas pedal and rushed to meet up with their families.

When the trucks arrived, Zhao Jun ordered all the robbers to be thrown onto the Liberation trucks, and then the convoy drove to Fusong to hand the bandits over to the authorities!
