The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 165 Fishing Law Enforcement
Gan Minglan was unaware that her father had already taken over the early education program that she had not yet started.

The little guy's carefree days of eating and playing have come to an early end!
Their journey back to the border town was not peaceful.

When they came to Haijin Town, it was a massive army of ten thousand men; now, only a pitiful four hundred remain.

Among these 400 people were: more than 20 medical team members and about 100 seriously injured patients who were unable to do physical labor.

Aside from those rushing to catch the train, only one hundred people could be spared to act as guards at the front and back of the procession.

More than a hundred horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods looked like little children carrying gold bricks through a bustling market to observant passersby.

Since the old emperor started levying taxes and conscripting soldiers from the people after the New Year.

Apart from the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the nine key towns, the rest were all in complete chaos.

The Hedong Provincial Administration Office is a natural barrier surrounded by three mountain ranges and the Zhuo River.

It became a battleground for the Po Jun and Yi Jun, who both wanted to expand and grow stronger.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the border troops in the northeast of the river, the two groups of refugees broke up into smaller groups and infiltrated the east of the river from the west and south.

Within two months, the mountain bandits of almost all the nearby provincial administrations gathered at Gujishan Mountain to the east of the river and Wuxingshan Mountain to the west of the river.

A few days ago.

The old chief of Longpan Village led more than two hundred core members and more than four hundred women and children to migrate east to Wuxing Mountain.

They had just set up camp on a very treacherous main peak.

The key members who remained along the route sent back an important message.

"Master! Our enemy will be entering Tumen Pass in just one more day!"

"Boss, they only have four hundred men this time. Should we give them a taste of their own medicine?"

The old village chief shook his head:
"We can only remember this grudge for now. Before our strength reaches ten thousand men, we must not easily provoke the border troops!"

The third leader was so angry his eyes almost bulged out, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"Are we just going to stand by and watch them leave Youzhou? Fourth Brother died such a tragic death. We, as his older brothers, will not have peace of mind until we avenge him."

The old chieftain was so angry he laughed:
"What's bothering you? Even if you lose two hundred and seventy lives, do you really think you can kill all four hundred of their men?"

With just one sentence, he shut down all three leaders who were ranked in the top three positions.

Yes, we can't beat them!

after that.

The cunning chieftain stated that although his own stronghold could not personally avenge their enemies, it would not prevent them from spreading information about these people's whereabouts and the large amount of supplies carried on their wagons among the bandits of Gujishan and Wuxingshan.

In an instant, bandits thronged the major mountain passes and valleys in the east and west.

They all want to launch an ambush.

Unfortunately.

They were facing off against someone like Gan Minglan, an extraordinary person who possessed a lovable detective pet named Atu and had broken through to the eighth level of wood-type superpowers.

We won't let them steal it.

When encountering a bandit gang that has few knives, is small in size and cowardly, Gan Minglan advocates using force to subdue them (beat them up until they beg for mercy).

She also said that one should not pursue a defeated foe who turns and runs away.

But if you encounter bandits carrying bows and crossbows or even firearms, who are clearly desperate criminals, then you should report their presence.

Those who try to steal others will always be stolen from.

Those who kill will always be killed.

You will get what you ask for, and you will get what you ask for.

Among them, Gan Minglan, the leader of the medical team, killed the most bandits.

After killing them, they didn't just walk away.

All their various weapons had to be collected, and if they encountered a band of hundreds of bandits, they would have to go and check their lair.

Under the oppressive power of King A-Tu, the mountain rats dared not even conceal how many grains of rice were hidden in which cave. They vied with each other to lead the way for the rat king.

Their hideouts in the mountains are easy to find.

All the property and supplies that the bandits had hidden were confiscated by the border troops.

After raiding three bandit strongholds in succession, the commander left behind unexpectedly started fishing without any instruction.

They fished and killed their prey along the way.

Half a month later, the number of trucks in the convoy had more than doubled.

Besides gold and silver, bandits' favorite things were all kinds of furs.

Because they had a limited number of people to drive the carts, they also delivered some of the stolen goods to fur shops and pawnshops when they passed through Bingzhou in Hedong.

On the day the goods were sold out.

Four hundred people, each person received more than eighty taels of silver.

If they sell the cotton cloth they invested in, they'll each get a hundred taels of silver after this trip is done!

What does one hundred taels of silver mean?!

For ordinary soldiers like the Five Guards of the Border City, who hadn't seen their pay for over a decade, this was a different story.

It's a windfall from heaven!

That is also an immense fortune!
The corners of everyone's mouths were turned up like a certain freshwater fish that anglers in later generations liked the most.

The gratitude, respect, and admiration for Gan Minglan flowed endlessly like the waters of a turbid river.

Those bachelors who were still single at twenty-five or twenty-six because of poverty felt an urge to kowtow to Gan Minglan when they saw her.

There's been a lot of talk about it behind the scenes:
"Why would we need to worship the God of Wealth during festivals anymore? The scholar's wife is the God of Wealth himself!"

"Stop calling her 'Scholar's Wife'! She's the captain of the medical team now, from now on we'll call her Captain Gan!"

"Hehe, just imagine if those guys find out about the benefits we got when we get back. If Captain Gan wants to get any job in the future, she'll probably have to fight a battle to see who wins first before she gets a chance."

"Hahaha, who says otherwise! Captain Gan is indeed very capable! I don't know how good her eyesight is. She can find where those bandits are hiding from miles away! Every time she makes the bandits who want to ambush us show their true colors."

"Good eyesight, coupled with excellent skills, makes her invincible! Ang always thought she only knew how to use wooden guns and knives, but he didn't expect her to be so good at using crossbows and muskets. Ang saw her shoot an arrow and it pierced the neck of that bandit leader!"

"Tsk tsk, Captain Gan's fighting skills are unfathomable! Absolutely unfathomable!"

"."

As a team leader.

She is resourceful and courageous, always taking the lead in battle, and possesses both exceptional martial prowess and remarkable wealth.

She was generous in sharing credit and wealth with her subordinates.

Ordinary soldiers felt extremely fortunate to be assigned to a task by such a leader.

The commander of the remaining thousand men kept in mind a comparison between all the front-line generals of the Five Guards of the Border and the Jade-Faced Rakshasa.

hiss!
No better than not knowing.

If you compare them, you have to throw them all away.

Sigh, he'd love to have a boss like that too.

Then there's Captain Gan's overprotective nature.

He decided that he would definitely talk to his close brothers when he returned to the border town.

The twenty-odd medical team members under Captain Gan's command cannot be treated like the wives and concubines in the bridal chamber.

We must treat them as comrades.

Those who are capable deserve our respect.

Who knows, if I get wounded on the battlefield, I might end up in their hands!
