Whenever we get them, taverns or inns in villages and towns would be the natural place to find muscle-for-hire.

Perhaps a sort of gang leader will (Rarely, commonly, in between? I'm not sure) spawn in inns or taverns, and allow you to hire some of his thuggish mercenaries. All the good guys are part of the good armies, the bad guys part of the bad armies, but you can get the greedy ones.
