On October 25, in front of Erlong Cottage

Fang Ming stood in the middle, Li An, Xu Tianba, Qin Mang, and the Niu brothers were beside him, and opposite were the 750 bandits captured last night, their hands tied and kneeling on the ground.

Two hundred wolf guards, one armed with a machete and the other with a hemp rope, stood on either side of the captives, while the recruits stood at the back of the line.

The strange thing is that the tiger guards and wolf guards are scattered and standing on the main road in the walled gate, each with a distance of 5 meters, and there is a tent behind them, and there are numbers on the tents, and there are a hundred wolf guards around them.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the captives looked left and right, at a loss, unable to understand what the people of Erlongshan were going to do, or closed their eyes and waited for the final judgment, or whispered and discussed countermeasures, or their eyes were glazed, and even worse, their faces were hideous, and they did not know what they were thinking.

Fang Ming waved his hand, and Xu Tianba immediately became angry and yelled, "It's all quiet." ”

After a while, seeing that the humming had finally stopped, Fang Ming took a few steps forward and spoke loudly: "You are all thieves who have done a lot of evil, it is you people who have disturbed the peace of Jingzhou for the past two years, and now that they have been captured, they should all be beheaded to show the public, and the people should be given justice." ”

"My lord, no, I've never killed anyone. ”

"My lord, we are all good citizens, and we joined them because of the persecution of the Black Wind Village. ”

"My lord, you can do well, I am old and young, spare me. ”

"If you dare, our Black Wind Village will not let you go. ”

"That's it, this is pretending, let go of grandpa. ”

......

Hearing Fang Ming's words, the captives immediately became in a commotion, begging for mercy, shouting, and scolding, one after another, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Shut up. Receiving Fang Ming's signal, Xu Tianba roared again, this time he used enough internal strength to shock everyone's scalps, and he couldn't help but close his mouth.

"That's right. Fang Ming continued: "But in the past few years, too much blood has been shed, God has the virtue of a good life, I am a very democratic person, today I can give you a chance to live, join us, worship me as the Lord." If you don't want to, I won't force the check, but I'm just bothering you to go to the Netherworld to fight for a front. Now, whether it is life or death, give you a stick of incense time to consider. If you don't want to say yes, you get up and walk aside. ”

At this moment, the thieves who were loyal to Heifeng Village and scolded Fang Ming just now were silent, and they kept kneeling on the ground, as if they had changed people.

Instead, several bandits, who had never said a word, stood up and walked to the front of the line, quietly waiting for the trial.

"Sure enough, it is a barking dog that does not bite. Seeing this, Fang Ming sighed.

After a stick of incense, 14 refused to surrender, and the remaining 736 were still kneeling on the ground.

"What benefits has the Black Wind Village given you, since you are so loyal. Fang Ming looked at the 37 people.

"Without it, two meals a day, a place to live. One of them replied.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, but that's all I can do. ”

"Then I'm curious, since I'm afraid of death, why is this so?"

The people were silent, and no one answered the question.

To be alive, who wants to die?

"My lord, all of us have families left in the village, if we betray the Black Wind Village and are known by the owner of the village, whether it is voluntary or not, our wives and children will definitely lose their lives. After a while, one of the thieves in the lead told the reason.

"So..."The bandit looked left and right at the 13 people who were connected with the same fate beside him, smiled bitterly, and continued: "So, we will not rebel no matter what, please give me a good time, great kindness, there is no way to repay it." After saying that, he kowtowed.

"Please be merciful!" the other 13 people also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

These people do not ask for forgiveness, but they want to die quickly, no longer suffer torture and pain, and only hope that their families will not be implicated.

"In this case, Fang Mou will fulfill you today. Fang Ming said in a deep voice, waved his hand, and the wolf guards who had been waiting for a long time on the side stepped forward with machetes.

These people are affectionate and righteous, but no matter what the reason, in order to successfully collect the captives today, Fang Ming must not be merciful to these people, and any disobedient personnel must be punished with capital punishment to set an example, so as not to have any crooked thoughts of the remaining captives.

After the wolf guards stood up, Fang Ming spoke: "I respect you for being a man, my Fang Ming promises, when he breaks through the Black Wind Village in the future, he will not be embarrassed by the old and weak women and children, and he will do it." ”

The wolf guards worked in pairs, one on the left kicking the captive's popliteal fossa to his knees, and the other raising his head cutter and aiming it at the neck.

"Slash!" Fang Ming shouted, and the wolf guards did not hesitate, their hands raised and fell, blood splattered three feet, and people's heads rolled to the ground.

"Now, are you all willing to worship me as the Lord?" Fang Ming looked at the 736 people who were still kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Yes!" shouted in unison.

"Okay, in that case, go through two more formalities, and you will be my Ming's people. Fang Ming smiled mysteriously, and at the same time glanced at Li An out of the corner of his eye, this guy could come up with such an idea, which surprised him very much.

The captives who were alive breathed a sigh of relief, and as long as they could live, nothing else would be of any importance to them.

Of course, among the remaining 736 captives, there are still some people whose families are also in the Black Wind Village, but they have the idea of indiscriminately filling the numbers, planning to fool around today first, pretend to take refuge in Fang Ming, and then find a chance to return to the Black Wind Village in the future.

However, what Fang Ming did next was to directly announce the death penalty to them.

"Now, all you have to do is sign this allegiance and draw it. Fang Ming showed a hint of an intriguing smile and motioned to Ang Li that he could start reading.

The content of the letter of allegiance is very simple, that is, he has decided to abandon the darkness and defect to the light, betray the Black Wind Village, and is willing to correct the Black Wind Village owner Feng Minghua and other crimes, and finally swear in his own name that from today on, he will serve Fang Ming and never betray or something like that.

After Li An finished reading, Fang Ming explained: "This letter of allegiance is placed here, all of you will sign and draw in turn, and I will find a suitable time in the future to send someone to send this letter of allegiance to Heifeng Village." ”

"What!"

"This..."

Fang Ming spoke, and the captives rioted again, this time they either fought to the death for the Black Wind, or they were loyal to Fang Ming from now on, and there was no third way to choose.

And some people's eyes rolled, and after a while, they smiled slightly, as if they thought of some way to crack it.

"In addition, I would like to remind you, don't think about writing a fake name to fool me, after you sign and draw the pledge, I will randomly select a few people and ask them to write your name separately, if it is inconsistent at that time, hum!" Fang Ming threw a bombshell.

Hearing Fang Ming's words, those opportunistic people turned pale, and this time they hit their vital point, and now there is only one choice, die by themselves or by their families?

The viciousness of Li An's trick lies in the fact that unless these captives choose to die, after defecting to Fang Ming, when the people of Heifeng Village receive the letter of allegiance, they will not care whether you are willing or forced to do so today, they will definitely appear on the death list, and the possibility of betraying again is very low.

And in the process of dealing with Black Wind Village in the future, they will do the most to get rid of this burden as soon as possible.

In the end, 699 of the 736 captives signed the allegiance.

The remaining 37 bandits have not made any moves, and in order to save the lives of their families in the Black Wind Village, they have to choose to die by themselves.

"Take these 37 people aside and wait for them to fall. After Fang Ming finished speaking, 74 wolf guards stepped forward and escorted these people outside the team.

"Now, there's the last link left. You will enter the village in groups of 40 people in turn, and you will arrange for people to ask questions individually. After Fang Ming finished speaking, he nodded at Li An, who took a few steps forward and said loudly: "People in the first column, follow me in." ”

After the four people entered, Ang Lee numbered them and hung the corresponding numbers on his chest.

"Give you thirty breaths to observe each other, remember each other's faces, and in a moment they will have something to ask you. Ang Lee talked about the rules, and when he said the word "them", he pointed to the tiger guard and the leopard guard.

The bandits just didn't know what was going on, so they had to take the time to look at each other and try to keep everyone's numbers in mind.

"It's time, now the 1st enters tent 1, the 2nd enters tent 2, and so on, hurry. Li An sighed.

After all the bandits entered, the tiger guards and leopard guards also walked in.

......

Wang Hua entered the No. 1 account he was responsible for, saw the bandit standing there with a nervous expression, and chuckled: "Don't worry, just ask a few simple questions." ”

After speaking, he picked up the pen and paper on the desk.

"You ask, the little one knows everything. "The bandit is also a well-spoken person, so he quickly responded.

"Listen, first question, out of these 40 people, who do you think is the most suitable for a bandit? ”

"It's... Number 35, he is usually the most ferocious. The bandit looked down for a moment and gave the answer.

"Next question, do you know who still has a family in the Black Wind Village?"

"I remember that the 28th made a meritorious service last year, and the leader rewarded him with a woman he had robbed, and a while ago I heard that a big fat boy was born. ”

"Okay, after asking, you can go out. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When the thief walked out of the tent, his own wolf guard led him away and took him to the open field to wait for his arrival.

After an hour of tea, Wang Hua reported the results to Li An.

"The statistics came out, No. 1, No. 8, and No. 16 got the most votes, and in terms of family members, No. 1, No. 8, No. 13, No. 16, No. 25, and No. 31 had more than 3 votes. ”

"Behead the six of them, take the rest out, and get ready for the next group to come in. ”

According to the results of his discussion with Fang Ming, the three people with the highest votes must have often committed evil and were not suitable to stay in their own ranks, and more than three people pointed out that there were still family members in Heifeng Village, nine times out of ten it was true, these people could even abandon their wives and children for their own lives, and they didn't know what they would do in the future, so they must not stay.

"Whoa!"
