Zuo Aoran nodded and said, "Okay, Yuan Hao, what do you think we should do with these prisoners?"
Tian Feng cupped his fists and reported: "Go back to my lord, kill Yifeng to avoid future troubles. None of these thieves are good! If they stay, they will wander around the countryside and harm the people in all directions."
Zuo Aoran was silent. He had just experienced a bloody fight. The smell of blood entered his nose. He had not fully recovered. After all, killing people is different from killing chickens. Zuo Aoran looked at the man kneeling in front of him begging for mercy.
The captives are always unable to take action. Many of these bandits have several lives in their hands. After all, bandits also rely on knives to make a living. When they encounter resistance during robbery, they will use knives to speak out if they disagree.
Zuo Aoran said: "How about taking them as laborers and sending them to Qipan Mountain to compensate for the labor force?"
Tian Feng said: "My lord, no! These people are not only undisciplined, but also have bad character. I'm afraid they will lead our soldiers to ruin."
Zuo Aoran stood up from his seat and walked slowly. Wen Chou said: "My lord, you must not be benevolent as a woman!"
Zuo Aoran walked back and forth for a few times, waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind. Since I said I will not kill them, I, Zuo Aoran, cannot go back on my promise. I will send these people to the county seat and let the county government deal with them."
At this time, Chen Deng walked into the hall and said with a smile: "My lord, it is very good to deal with it like this! The county magistrate of the dog once spread the word in private that anyone who can get rid of the bandits will be awarded the position of county captain. The lord presented these many captives to the dog."
The county magistrate must be extremely happy, so the post of county captain cannot be evaded."
"Yuanlong, what are you talking about? My lord is now the Third Duke, why should I covet the position of county captain!" Tian Feng said angrily.
Zuo Aoran waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yuan Hao, you only know one but not the other. The position of county captain is just a drop in the bucket to me, but I can give this power to others."
Man, I have more than 100,000 soldiers under my command. Isn't it a good idea to find one person to serve as the county captain?" Tian Feng thought for a moment and then understood Zuo Aoran's intention. Zuo Aoran gave a slight salute and stepped aside.
The bandit prisoners were quickly taken away, and only a few leaders were left in the lobby. Yan Liang suddenly came to the hall and said with great joy: "My lord, we got a big deal this time. The bandits robbed us."
Magistrate Dog’s tribute went into the lord’s pocket again before he had time to spend it.”
"Oh?" Zuo Aoran's interest came up. Generally, larger cottages will have stocks. This is a way for Zuo Aoran to make a fortune early, so he asked with a smile: "How many gold, silver and jewelry do you have?"
"There is a total of fifty thousand gold and silver, and there are several old ginseng plants among them. I don't know how old they are. They seem to be priceless treasures." Yan Liang said.
"Fifty thousand people?! This dog official is really good at scraping the land!" Zuo Aoran frowned.
"Yes, Magistrate Dog has been here for three or four years and has made the people's livelihood miserable. There have been complaints among the people for a long time." Ouyang Lie said.
"These ginseng plants have been wrapped for me. I want to honor my old mother." Zuo Aoran paused and then said: "Yan Liang, order Zhuge Qian to deal with those women and don't embarrass them.
They are all poor people who were robbed by bandits. I gave them a few taels of money for travel expenses and let them go home. The only choice was to have Zhuge Qian escort the bandits to Zhending County Yamen to receive the post of county captain."
"Yes." Yan Liang received the order with his fists clasped, turned and walked out of the lobby.
Zuo Aoran's series of decrees had been distributed one after another, and he was about to return to Zuojia County to discuss the distribution of the edicts. Unfortunately, he was blocked by a woman. This woman was none other than a bandit.
They were kidnapped from Zhaojiacun.
The woman had been waiting at the door of the hall for a long time. When she saw Zuo Aoran coming out, she immediately came forward and prostrated herself, saying thanks: "Thank you so much for saving my life and cleaning up. I will never forget it, little girl. I kowtow to your benefactor."
Zuo Aoran hurriedly helped the girl in front of him and said: "Girl, there is no need to be polite. This is just an ordinary encounter with injustice on the road. It is only a matter of time that we draw our swords to help and exterminate this group of bandits. You should go home quickly."
"My benefactor, the little girl's name is Fan Juan. She is from Zhaojia Village, thirty miles away. She was kidnapped here by this group of bandits not long ago. If my benefactor hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
Before she finished speaking, Fan Juan started crying again.
Fan Juan!? Isn’t she the childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart of my junior brother Zhao Yun? I really don’t know why she didn’t marry my junior brother Zhao Yun later on. I really can’t figure it out!
When Zuo Aoran saw that Fan Juan was busy, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he said to Wen Chou beside him: "Quickly find Zhao Youcai, he is from Zhaojia Village, and ask him to send Miss Fan back home."
In the village, if the home is destroyed, we will help build another one with funds."
Wen Chou agreed and left, and not long after, Zhao Youcai came. When he saw Fan Juan, he was overjoyed and thanked Zuo Aoran quickly, and then led the crying Fan Juan away. Zuo Aoran then summoned the generals and led the soldiers.
Return to Zuojia County.
Leaving aside the fact that Zuo Aoran returned to Zuojia County, Zhuge Qian led a group of soldiers disguised as ordinary rangers, drove a convoy of more than a dozen carriages into the county town, and the carriages were fully loaded with the Mangheishan soldiers who were tied up with five flowers.
Bandits, Zhuge Qian is a soldier, and a soldier's bounden duty is to obey, but Zhuge Qian never understood why Zuo Aoran demoted himself and insisted on letting him be the captain of Mingniao County...
The county magistrate's tribute was robbed by these bandits, and he was heartbroken for a long time. It was the people's wealth and wealth that he spent a long time plundering. He dreamed that he had snatched the tribute from the bandits.
He was so happy in his dream that he woke up his concubine, making him very embarrassed in front of her.
This tribute was related to the county magistrate's promotion plan! After being promoted, he would have more money and marry more concubines. Therefore, the county magistrate hated the bandits with a passion. However, he ordered the officers and soldiers several times to
He went to encircle and suppress the bandits, but they all came back defeated. He was really at his wits' end, so he ordered to post a "bandit suppression order" and called on civilians to suppress the bandits. In this regard, the county magistrate basically didn't have much hope. He suffered this dumb loss and just wanted to
How to collect it from the common people.
Unexpectedly, on this day, the county magistrate suddenly received a report that a group of carriages offering prisoners came to the city gate. The entire bandit army on Manghei Mountain was wiped out, and even the heads of the three leaders on the mountain were chopped off.
Came down.
The county magistrate was so happy that he ran to the city gate without even wearing his shoes. Fortunately, his servants stopped him and prevented him from making a fool of himself. The magistrate ordered that the officers and soldiers prepare the largest lineup to welcome the prisoner offering procession.
On this day, almost all the people in the county came out of their homes to watch the sacrifice of prisoners. Although everyone did not like Magistrate Dog, the bandits on Manghei Mountain were even more notorious. The name of the bandits on Manghei Mountain could even stop children from crying.
They robbed homes and houses, bullied men and women. The people living in the county relied on the protection of the city walls to avoid being robbed by bandits. However, most of their relatives living in the countryside had suffered losses from bandits.
The convoy offering prisoners stopped in the square in front of the county government office, and the county magistrate eagerly came out to greet him. With his round belly, he looked like a ball, and he had a fat head and big ears.
I know he is a very corrupt official.
When the bandits were escorted from the car, the people's shouts and curses were like a stormy sea, tilting towards the bandits. The bandits, who were usually domineering, now tightened their necks, like turtles.
I don’t know who threw the first egg, but then it got out of hand. Eggs, smelly shoes and socks, and stones were all thrown at the bandit’s head, and those who came to greet the prisoner offering team
The county magistrate also had a few rotten eggs on his head. I don’t know if the people threw them intentionally.
