"Horse bandits?"
Chen Yuan's brows were tightly furrowed. In his memory, there seemed to be no horse bandits around Ping'an County, just some mountain bandits, but even they wouldn't dare to brazenly enter the county town. They were merely a minor annoyance, like wild grass in spring, cropping up again as soon as they were cut down.
"They came from another state..."
Tie Qinghua said in a heavy voice.
"You know about them?" Chen Yuan looked at Tie Qinghua with surprise, thinking he would need to investigate further, but it seemed Tie Qinghua already knew something.
A hint of sadness flashed in Tie Qinghua's eyes:
"When my elder brother was still alive, he mentioned once that a nest of horse bandits had appeared near Ping'an County. It seemed they had a bounty on their heads in another prefecture city, so they came to the vicinity of Ping'an County."
"But they have not committed murder, so... the County Government turned a blind eye..."
