Stealing a Knife

On the rugged mountain road, a team of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages moved forward cautiously. The grooms drove the horses softly and did not dare to make a sound. Although the stewards said that there were masters in the team to protect them secretly, this was Bawangling after all. The government had been suppressing bandits for eight years, but they had not eradicated the bandits from this mountain. People said that the county magistrate and the leader of Bawangling had shady activities, and every time the bandits were suppressed, it was just a show.
