Chapter 672: Chapter 654 Fish that slip through the net_1

"Ouch! What’s the matter with you guys, huh? Why are you all so unsteady?"

She quickly pushed through the crowd, taking quite some time to shake off the people who had fallen on her!

But as she does, she feels something wet. She wipes it off on her clothes while muttering curses, but her staring eyes meet those of a lone figure in front of her.

"Wang Saner, what are you staring at? Get them out of the way. Oh my God..." she stared at Su Pan’er’s face as she raised her head and in alarm, he stumbled and ran up the mountain without remembering what he had said earlier.

But Su Pan’er made no move to kill him; instead, she calmly followed at a measured pace as he fled.

He was running like a headless chicken, his only thought was to reach the top of the mountain.

As he runs, he cries out: "There are invaders on the mountain, we’re under attack!"

At his shout, a gong suddenly clangs at the peak of the mountain. The mountain quickly brightened as the robbers on top were roused.

"Tsk-tsk! I originally wanted to spare your life, but you went and attracted everyone’s attention. Now that you’ve finished your mission, go get your just deserts!"

As she spoke, she flung out a bamboo stick that shot through the night sky, piercing the fleeing man’s back. The man groaned, wobbled, then fell to the ground, motionless.

Uncle Xiao and others quickly caught up to Su Pan’er: "Madam!"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

These mountain robbers were like poisonous snakes; they must be eliminated. If they were given a second chance, they might turn around and bite back!

"Yes, Madam!" responded Uncle Xiao loudly.

As our group was talking, a group of robbers rushed down from the mountain top, shouting bold challenges as they ran towards us.

The troops didn’t hesitate in the slightest, their actions in killing fast and decisive.

That night, the torches on the mountain top burned bright throughout.

Su Pan’er’s figure shone in the firelight, killing her way in and out. By the time she had eliminated more than half of the ordinary mountain robbers, she directly rushed up to the mountain top. The mountain chieftains still in the house were deep in sleep but were all slain.

But on the top of the mountain, Su Pan’er also discovered several women.

The women immediately pleaded for mercy: "Sirs, please spare us! We were forced to stay on the mountain as daughters of poor families from the base of the mountain. We are in desperate straits and are at your mercy!"

The other women followed suit with their crying and begging and continuously kowtowed on the ground.

Su Pan’er looked at them and asked Uncle Xiao: "Uncle Xiao, what do you think of this?"

Uncle Xiao, who was in the midst of counting the number of mountain robbers, walked over and assessed the women: "If these women claim they were forced, then ask them to help us. We need to see if there are any robbers who slipped through the net and got a way out. If they fail to tell the truth, kill them directly."

Su Pan’er was startled, then nodded: "You’ve all heard what Uncle Xiao said! Now, do you want to live or die?"

Uncle Xiao’s intentions were clear. If these women revealed the whereabouts of the robbers, it meant betraying their compatriots. If the news leaks out that it was they who testified, they wouldn’t have a good ending.

"We want to live! We want to live, sir!"

In order to survive, the women said hastily.

"Good, then you must take people separately for interrogation. See if there are any escaped robbers!"

A few soldiers hurried forward, each leading a woman away.

After a short time, a soldier reported: "Madam, according to the women, the chief of the mountain village wasn’t among the crowd."

The head of the village isn’t there?

This is not good news.

"Did they say when the village head had escaped and in which direction he fled?"

"None of the women knows."

No one knows?

Su Pan’er thought for a moment, then instructed, "Ask them where the house of the village head is. Let them lead me there."

Before long, a soldier brought a woman over: "Madam, this woman was attending to the village head before we came."

The woman shrank back, afraid to lift her head.

"Didn’t you say you were the one taking care of the village head? You should know where his house is, right? Lead the way quickly."

Su Pan’er had no patience for the woman’s dallying and ordered her to lead the way instead.

The woman led the way with a gloomy face, but dared not refuse. She walked reluctantly towards the conference hall at the top of the mountain.

As if she hadn’t noticed the woman’s state, Su Pan’er followed her to a house behind the conference hall.

"Madam, it’s...it’s inside there..."

The woman alluded, shrinking back.

Su Pan’er glanced at her, signaled to Uncle Xiao, and then carefully went inside.

This house was next to the conference hall, and it was grandly decorated. At first glance, it was hard to imagine it as a bandit’s den.

Su Pan’er kept her eyes and ears peeled as she proceeded, but found no one after checking the entire house.

"How did it go?"

Seeing Uncle Xiao entering the house, Su Pan’er casually asked.

"We have checked outside the house. There are no traces of anyone having escaped," Uncle Xiao reported truthfully.

"The woman earlier said he was here. But right now, we can’t find any trace of him. Could that woman have lied?" Su Pan’er wondered.

"I don’t think the woman lied. Even if we can’t understand why she said the village head was clearly in the house when we can’t find him..."

"Wait!"

Su Pan’er suddenly interrupted him: "Are you saying that the village head is still in this house?"

"I have a feeling he is."

Uncle Xiao quickly pointed out the key point: "We came from the bottom of the mountain. Since the person didn’t escape from the back, he must be in the house."

"But he’s evidently not in the house. Could it be possible that he tunneled away? Tunnel, tunnel..."

Su Pan’er muttered to herself when she suddenly had a realization.

She smacked her thigh: "Right! How could I have forgotten about this?"

Back at home, hadn’t she also built a tunnel under her mansion? It’s normal to construct one or two tunnels as a refuge in a bandits’ den. How could she have forgotten about this!
