Bai Su rides on a war horse.

He glanced indifferently at the captured horse bandits.

Her lack of imagination could not think of any way to make people "worse than death" for a while, but she also felt that the known torture was not enough to vent her anger and establish her power. So she looked at her lord for knowledge, and Xu Quan also looked over.

Xu Quan guessed: "Towed by horse?"

Then he asked: "The city gate is hung to dry?"

Bai Su added: "Three thousand six hundred swords Lingchi?"

When Xu Quan heard this, he thought it was impossible. He curled his lips and refuted: "There are so many horse bandits, each of them uses a knife to slice their flesh, and they still pay 3,600 knives? How can so much effort be wasted?"

Generally speaking, Lingchi torture takes too long and the labor cost is too high. The horse bandits are not worthy of such treatment.

Bai Su raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you think you can do?"

Xu Quan pondered, thinking about the plan: "First disembowel the belly, remove the fat and light the sky lantern, and then peel the remaining last grass?"

This method is not cruel.

You must know that the previous Longwu County Sheriff was also captured on the way to defend the city. He ended up having his body split open and his internal organs eviscerated, and then beheaded. The head and body were hung separately from the city gate to be exposed to the sun, and the remaining internal organs were fed to jackals. .

For an inhumane existence like Shiwu...

Only more ruthless means can be used to intimidate. As for tenderness and comfort, they are "compassion" when a person is completely subdued or beaten to the edge of annihilation. It is the sporadic sympathy shown by the strong to the weak.

Before that, the only option was to fight!

Any gentle approach will be viewed as cowardice by the enemy.

Bai Su didn't respond, just looked at the lord whose face was cold as if covered with a layer of frost. The other party said with a smile in his voice: "Those are too bloody, just bury them alive, only one head is exposed, take it." A good metaphor for getting ahead."

Bai Su and Xu Quan were both surprised.

It's more intimidating than building a Jingguan, and it's a way to make the enemy unable to survive or die. Is this it?

Yes, that's it.

but--

That's enough!

Shen Tang's eyes were dark, filled with murderous intent that was rare among Qi Shan and others. He Yin had kept a low profile for the past two years, which led many people to think that she was a "benevolent gentleman", but they ignored the killing intent before she put on this mask. Cut decisively.

The administrative seat of Longwu County is Ruyao.

Due to its geographical location, Ruyao has strong folk customs and huge economic fluctuations. If the army is strong and Shiwu dare not offend easily, the economy will prosper. Because Shiwu has backward productivity and lacks resources, many daily necessities If it cannot be obtained by plundering, it can only be bartered, exchanging relatively expensive local specialties for cloth, salt and grain.

Naturally, Ruyao’s economy is not much different.

In its heyday, the city was bustling with traffic, and Shiwu merchants who traveled thousands of miles to do business would grab a lot of them. Merchants from all over the country would trade with them for local not-so-rare things, and they could earn more than a dozen with their backhand. times, or even dozens of times the profits. There are also those who are brave enough to secretly go deep into the hinterland of Shiwu to engage in smuggling, and the profits will be even higher.

They also have the awareness of "eugenics and good education".

In order to improve the genes of the tribe, tribal women who are in short supply during peacetime are encouraged to intermarry with men from Longwu County, and the children they give birth to are generally stronger than the children of the tribe.

_(:з)∠?)_

This is not difficult to explain.

There are many natural resources in Shiwu, but there are really not many food resources, and the diet structure is still simple.

In addition, more than two hundred years after the thief star descended from the sky, this wave of people in mainland China have gone through generations of inheritance and crazy involution struggles. Their average height, physical fitness, and qualifications are all higher than Shiwu. There is a ratio of literary scholars to brave warriors.

Also higher.

It is normal to "borrow" excellent genes from one's own family.

certainly--

This "harmonious scene" is limited to when the military strength is strong.

If Longwu County's military strength is weak, or the country behind Longwu County is weak and corrupt, let alone resisting Shiwu's harassment, if you still need to bow to Shiwu to please, then there will be no business. People will just come to buy a group for zero yuan.

.

In the past, cloth, salt, and food exchanged for things were all directly robbed, and tribal women were not encouraged to "borrow seeds" and rob other women from their nests. In a word, not a single thing was left behind during burning, killing, and looting.

, even more cruel.

What Shen Tang saw at this moment was of course Ruyao, which had been devastated by wars over and over again. It was even more miserable and desolate than Fugu City in Heyin. The huge city wall was destroyed to pieces, the buildings in the city were equal to ruins, and the government offices...

The official offices in Fugu City are still in dilapidated condition.

Ruyao's official offices are in ruins.

When Shen Tang arrived, a large army had already entered the city half a day earlier, clearing out an open space on the ruins of the government office that was barely enough to set foot on. The army skillfully used tools and began to repair the city wall, which barely gave Ru Yao a little more life.

Qishan and others have already made clear their division of labor.

Send people separately to inquire about news in the city.

Gather the dispersed people as much as possible.

Lin Feng helped her teacher Chu Yao. The two masters and apprentices were discussing something. Tu Rong took off his armor, with most of his arms bare in the cold wind, and followed other soldiers to fight against the debris of the building. He was so hot that he broke out in sweat.

"I have met my lord."

Shen Tang arrived at the government office on a motorcycle.

Chu Yao straightened the dusty clothes, and saluted her together with Lin Feng. Shen Tang jumped off the motorcycle: "No need to be polite, how is the city being organized? How could the government office..."

Speaking of this matter, Chu Yao also sighed.

The former governor of Longwu County fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. In addition, Shiwu and his group of "horse bandits" had planned for a long time for revenge. Taking advantage of the inability of the troops in Longwu County to return reinforcements, they massacred thousands of people with them.

Killed Ruyao——It was said to be a massacre, but it meant a killing spree. They killed wantonly for several hours, and set a fire when they left. The entire government office suffered even more disasters...

Shen Tang frowned solemnly: "No one is alive?"

The accident in Longwu County happened in midsummer, and Shen Tang took office a few days after the autumn harvest. During this period, no one was able to deal with the aftermath?

Unless everyone died in that catastrophe.

Chu Yao said: "Not really..."

"Why is that?"

"It's because I'm so disappointed..."

Chu Yao didn't need to speak too carefully, Shen Tang could hear it. Longwu County suffered such a catastrophe, and the body of a county governor was so humiliated. The royal court was not only angry but sent troops, at least it wanted to show its stance. The result was bullshit. Not to mention, it's better to be with the Shiwu brothers... Most of the soldiers guarding Longwu County are from Longwu indigenous people. When they hear this, they will naturally feel chilled...

It just started to fall apart.

It's just that we can't let go of the war, but we can't let go of the war. However, without Wang Ting's money to supply military supplies, life is extremely difficult, and many places don't care about it at all - such as the massacred Sangouli Village.

They can only guard the level and not break it.

As for those young thieves who secretly penetrated the city wall, crossed the increasingly weakened national border barrier, and sneaked over to burn, kill, and loot, they were also unable to do so.

I can't even lift the pot, let alone repair Ruyao.

This situation is really sad for those who hear it, and shed tears for those who see it.

There is another very big trouble here.

Shen Tang was nominally sent by Wang Ting Zheng Qiao.

so--

There is a high probability that Shen Tang will be boycotted by these people. Thinking of these troubles, even Shen Tang is a big deal.

The difficulty of this start is several times higher than that of Ha Yin!

At that time, He Yin only had to clean up one-third of an acre of her land, and she didn't have to worry about anything else. Although the neighbors next door liked her, they were all good brothers, and they couldn't harass her without a good excuse. The base camp.

It is true that she has not been harassed in the past two years, and Shen Tang also used a lot of human resources for nothing——

Although Xu Jie's "wedding dress" of more than two years was finally cheaper, Shen Tang is not someone who only focuses on the immediate gains and losses. She has a longer-term view - at least, this matter has attracted Xu Jie. The rich man invested in himself, and also tricked the other party into sending Xu Quan, who was carefully cultivated by the Xu family. Additional investment will be inevitable in the future, and he is willing to serve as Shen Tang's ATM machine.

When she gets stronger and fights back in the future, He Yin is like going full circle and returning to her own pocket. But to achieve such a bright ending, she must first deal with the troublesome Longwu County in front of her and survive under Shiwu's iron heel.

"...Oh, it's hard to make money, and it's hard to eat shit..."

The top priority is to deal with Ruyao first, gather the remaining refugees, and have a foothold that is barely bearable, and then go and negotiate with the original soldiers and horses of Longwu County in person. Just because they are desperately guarding Longwu County does not mean they are friendly to her.

It is also possible to stab someone in the back suddenly.

It happened to be a drizzle at this time.

Everyone was so busy that they were hitting the back of their heads. Even Jiang Sheng’s family members didn’t even bother to rest and came out to help clean up.

After a busy day, I can finally drink some hot soup.

Shen Tang was nestled in a makeshift tent, with the biting cold wind blowing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Gu Chi came back with a lawsuit on his head, and from afar he heard his lord's heartbroken words: "Suffer the ovarian cyst for a while, take a step back to breast hyperplasia... This evil spirit must come out! Damn! How can I be a doormat?" 】

Gu Chi: "..."

More than two years...

He also knew what "ovarian cyst" and "breast hyperplasia" meant. Although every time he heard it, he wanted to complain, "Does his lord have such things? It seems that he does." However, considering that this may be slang in the lord's hometown, No more worries.
To be continued...
