The leader of the bald robbers still had tattoos on his face.
People with tattoos on their faces are those who have committed serious crimes and been punished by the government. This punishment is called tattoo punishment, also known as black punishment, black punishment, and tattoo.
In short, people with tattoos on their faces are done so that people can recognize them at a glance and hand them over to the government for disposal.
These people have no choice but to become bandits because they will be reported if they go out.
But these bandits were obviously looking for the wrong place.
Originally they all looked honest and honest, but the faces of the Lu caravan members suddenly turned cruel. The bodyguard directly drew the knife from his waist, while the rest of the group took out the knife from the luggage of the carriage.
The bandits, who originally numbered fifty people, suddenly became extremely thin.
Where have these bandits seen such a large battle?
According to the original plot development, bandits like them are life-threatening masters, and the remaining caravans and escorts are all very life-saving. Although the caravan is much larger than them as a whole, but
As the saying goes, those who are tough are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of losing their lives.
Therefore, these bandits often succeeded.
But the caravan they wanted to rob today was beyond their expectations. Not only did everyone have swords, but they also had fierce eyes!
Wait...can't call it fierce...
All of their eyes looked strange.
Indescribable.
If I had to describe it, it would be more like the excitement and enthusiasm after finding a treasure...
What kind of situation is this!
The bald man at the head pretended to be calm and gritted his teeth and said: "You are foreign caravans who come here and don't know the rules of our Shu road. We will only charge very low tolls. There are so many of you and so much goods. For us brothers, you must be injured."
It’s not worth it. As long as you hand over fifty taels of silver, we promise not to embarrass you!”
Such a large caravan, with so many carriages in front and back, must be very wealthy!
It would definitely be possible to extort a large sum of money.
And there are several pretty little ladies, each one bigger and more beautiful than the last one.
They have never seen such a charming woman.
According to the rules, one of these women must be left behind.
But looking at the people in this group of caravans, none of them seem to be normal. Maybe they really dare to fight hard, so the bald man only asked for a very low price this time.
The younger brothers behind him had already been helping their third master by yelling and teasing, and they should have used various teasing words to the female family members, but now none of them opened their mouths.
Xu Qing walked out, waved his hands and said with a smile, "We didn't want to break the rules, but I think the asking price of fifty taels is low, too low! We said that with so many people, we should have one tael per person, right? Fifty taels.
Where are the two dozen beggars?"
When the bald man heard Xu Qing's words, his eyes suddenly became interested. Is this... could this be the legendary villain?
The opportunity was too good to miss, and the bald head said immediately, "Do you really think so?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Of course, do I look like the kind of person who breaks the rules?"
The bald head immediately beamed and said with a smile, "It's not like that! You don't look like it at all! I think there are more than 500 people there, so why don't you just add a zero and make it 500 taels!"
Xu Qing laughed and said: "How can we erase zero? There are five hundred and thirty-two of us in total, and these five hundred and thirty-two taels should be enough!"
Baldhead: "Really?!"
Xu Qing nodded: "Really, after paying the money, we will let you go. If you are missing one or two, you will all have to stay with me!"
When the bald man heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly: "What did you say?! Ah!"
Xiao Ye thrust out a spear, and the third master's shoulder had been pierced.
Xu Qing said; "I don't want me to repeat myself. I am not a person who likes to break the rules, but I am a person who likes to set the rules. When I come to you, you must abide by my rules. Do you understand?"
Many bandits still wanted to resist, but were immediately overpowered by the people around them.
Xu Qing walked up to the bald head and said, "Five hundred and thirty-two taels! Hand it over and I'll let you go."
The bald man was already kneeling on the ground, covering his shoulders. He really didn't expect that these people would take action without saying a word!
What's more, I didn't expect that I would be asked to give them more than five hundred taels!
Xiao Ye drew out his spear, his bald figure trembling; "You... you are not a caravan?"
Xu Qing sneered and said, "Brothers, open the carriage and let these people see what's inside!"
After hearing Xu Qing's instructions, many people lifted up the carriage. What was placed on the carriage was some cargo shipped to Shuzhou. They were clearly pieces of armor!
No wonder these people are not afraid of them at all...
So what is the identity of the leader?
Could it be that the government sent people to clear them out?
But if they were surrendered, why didn't they wear armor at the beginning? Instead, they were put on the carriage as cargo?
Xu Qing said: "Pay or die?"
The bald man immediately banged his head on the ground and said, "Sir, please spare my life! My lord, please spare your life! I am a young man who has no eyes to see Mount Tai and does not recognize adults, but I don't have five hundred taels on me, and I still have all my money."
On the mountain... If the adults can trust the villain, the villain will go and get it now, and give it to me with both hands, including a penny!"
It can be said that their mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they return to the mountain, let alone 500 people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to take down another 500 people!
Xu Qing said: "I can't trust you."
When the bald man heard this, his heart dropped. What did it mean? If he wasn't allowed to go back, would he be killed on the spot?
At this moment, Xu Qing changed the subject and said, "But I can give you a chance. As long as you can answer my questions, I may be able to save you from death."
The bald man instantly grasped the hope of survival and said quickly: "Sir, please feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Xu Qing asked, "Is there any water source on your mountain?"
The bald head immediately said: "Replying to your lord, there are water sources. There are more than a dozen springs. The spring water is very sweet!"
Xu Qing glanced at Long Bing'er and said with a smile, "It seems we were lucky. We found the right place on the first day."
When the bald man heard Xu Qing's words, his heart dropped. What did he mean?
Found the right place?
Are we the ones who will be destroyed together?
Xu Qing said: "Come here, interrogate these living persons separately. If one person fails to answer the right answer, everyone will be punished by being chopped in half!"
When everyone heard the news, their hearts tightened and cold sweat broke out.
If you answer the question incorrectly, you will be executed by Lingchi?
In fact, Xu Qing just wanted to scare them. Except for the Japanese people, he really wouldn't do this to anyone else.
He was just afraid that the punishment laws were too low. These people thought that the worst they could do was simply die, or that even if they wiped out their stronghold, they would die. It was better to be loyal and righteous people.
Then the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, it is still necessary to frighten them if the criminal law is set at a higher level.
Let them know that telling lies is not as simple as death.
