Qi Xiuyuan rubbed his forehead and said, "Can't you find any clues?"
Logically speaking, considering there were so many of them, even if they hid well, there would be traces left behind. This was because private soldiers had to eat, drink, and poop. If they had needs, there ought to be flaws.
"They're all very secretive. With the shops and farms covering up for them, it's very difficult for the government office to find them. Moreover, I believe they operate independently, so we can't find any clues in the village. Only the bandit leaders might know about each other, but they won't say anything. And it's not like we can kill them."
"I don't believe that they didn't leave any traces," Qi Xiuyuan said coldly. "Wasn't this bandits' nest exposed because of the murder of the Qin family and the traveling scholars?"
"It's fine if they were really violent and couldn't help but kill people, but the murder of the Qin family and those dozen or so students was an accident…"
