The first wife of this Master Xie was the real master of the bandit mountain stronghold.
It was also because she had taken a liking to Master Xie's might that he was chosen as her husband. Later on, his first wife and father-in-law passed away, so he naturally inherited the mountain stronghold. Only then could he bring the bandits to war!
Although this bandit was not a good person, he was a man of his words. How many innocent people were spared from suffering since Master Xie beat the barbarians?
Many people remembered this bit of merit.
As for the family members of these bandits…
It was said that they had not contacted each other for many years. After Master Xie became an official, they began to connect with each other.
