By having a dagger on your inventory, you'll be able to cut the ears off Cusmans you kill as a proof of their deadness. Killing the fuckers who destroyed your village is not only a satisfying proposition, it's also a lucrative one. And if you happen to run into any Cusmans on the way, Bernard will pay you for their ears too - which leads us to our next point. Those bounties take the form a mini side quest and can easily wield a couple of hundred groschen if you're lucky.

He's the dude that trains you outside the city walls right after you become an squire.

If looking for bandits unasked is a bit too open-worldy for you, you can instead go to the always helpful Captain Bernard in Rattay for an official assignment to kill some cowardly bandits. Just be warned: sometimes, you'll be faced with more than a couple of highwaymen - in which case, it is usually better to show the better part of valour and get the hell out of there. You can also trigger bandit attacks by fast travelling, so crossing hotbeds of bandit activity like dark forests is a great way to find some fools if you don't want to do the looking. Selling the gear is bound to make a few groschens, easily wielding you a hundred coins per bandit slayin'. Killing them wields no setbacks whatsoever, and you are free to loot their corpses with impunity. Be it a dirt path or a road through the woods, chances are you will found a lonely robber or two to enact justice upon. In medieval times, bandits could be often found in empty roads, preying on helpless travellers.

Everyone knows about selling stolen goods or robbing people in the highway, so let's start with something a bit more reputable and who makes the world a better place.
