Under Zhao Yu's gaze, Ma Gai frowned and took the pen with a hesitant expression.

Even Margai himself couldn't explain that he would actually take the pen.

He was the county magistrate of Kunyang County, but he was actually frightened by a teenager?

This is ridiculous!

But......

"Boy, who are you?" Margai couldn't help but ask.

And at this moment, Yang Tong suddenly said to Zhao Yu: "Ah Hu, you come out with me." ”

Zhao Yu silently followed Yang Tong out of the cave.

At this time, Yang Tong turned his head and asked him, "Ah Hu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Of course, he could sense that something was wrong with Zhao Yu.

In Yang Tong's impression, although Zhao Yu is young, he is methodical in his work, especially yesterday at the top of the mountain instead of him commanded the Shizhai bandits to repel the officers and soldiers led by Ma Gai, according to several bandits he sent, Zhao Yu did not panic from beginning to end.

But just now, this kid is obviously a little wrong, as if he has become a lot more irritable all of a sudden, obviously he was going to play red face and black face with Guo Da before, but the kid who pretended to be red faced pretended to be wrenched, so he snatched Guo Da's share.

Guo Da was dumbfounded at that time.

"Fur ......"

Under Yang Tong's inquiry, Zhao Yu let out a long breath.

He has also realized that his mood swings are indeed a bit big, and the reason for this is nothing more than Ma Gai's sentence 'Disaster will not affect the family' stimulated him, making him unconsciously think of the incident where more than 200 people in his Luyang Township Mansion were slaughtered, and a terrifying wave of hatred suddenly surged in his heart.

He half-truthfully explained to Yang Tong: "Probably it was Ma Gai's words that made me think of my parents...... You know, my brother was born in Wannan, and my Zhou family used to be wealthy, until the rebels invaded Wannan, not only took away my family's wealth, but also killed all my family, even my parents were killed by them, thanks to the loyal servants of the family desperately escorted my two brothers to Wanbei ......"

Yang Tong had heard Zhao Yu mention these things, and he was not surprised to hear it, so he patted Zhao Yu's shoulder and was relieved.

Immediately, he lowered his voice and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, all those past events have been forgotten, as long as you help me well, I won't treat your brothers badly." …… As for the Ma Gai inside, you told me the importance of this person before, and you said that as long as you surrender this person, we will be able to know Kunyang County well, if it weren't for that, I would have slaughtered him a long time ago. …… Do I need to remind you of this? Calm down, Ah Hu, don't make a big deal. ”

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded.

Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to have calmed down, Yang Tong glanced at the cave and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is over, we must convince him no matter what, otherwise we will die in vain......

"Yes."

After some explanation, Yang Tong led Zhao Yu back to the cave.

At this time, Yang Tong glanced at Guo Da.

Of course, Guo Da understood the meaning, and shook his head, indicating that Ma Gai had not signed the confession yet.

Seeing this, Yang Tong patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder, suggesting that Zhao Yu came forward, after all, he didn't have the eloquence to persuade Ma Gai.

Under Yang Tong's secret urging, Zhao Yu approached Ma Gai and looked at him holding the pen, his face full of hesitation and hesitation.

Suppressing the remaining restlessness in his heart, Zhao Yu said kindly: "What are you waiting for County Lieutenant Ma? ”

Ma Gai glanced up at Zhao Yu, then at Yang Tong, then sighed, dropped the pen in his hand, shook his head and said, "Forgive Ma for not being able to do it!" …… Signing this confession is tantamount to sending the handle into your hands, and you will be restrained everywhere in the future......"

Zhao Yu picked up the pen, shook his head and said: "Lieutenant Ma has misunderstood, you might as well regard this as your sincerity, you also understand, you are officers and soldiers, we are thieves, if you can't fight, how dare thieves be friends with officers and soldiers?" As for the clamping, County Lieutenant Ma can also rest assured, I will never threaten you with this thing in the future, at best, I just hope that County Lieutenant Ma will send us a message in advance...... For example, the next time your county comes to crusade. Of course, I don't mean to let Lieutenant Ma harm those county guards under you, on the contrary, we can even help Lieutenant Ma achieve his goal. For example, the next time the county lieutenant of Ma comes to crusade against my Black Tiger Village, he will send a message in advance, what can we do if we give up Dazhai? ”

Ma Gai frowned, and said unhappily: "Do you think that Ma is greedy for such false merits?" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Lieutenant Ma County can be regarded as this is the respect that this is my Black Tiger Village for you, wherever you go, my Black Tiger Village will avoid retreating, and I will never dare to go against the officers and soldiers led by you......"

Ma Gai frowned and looked at Yang Tong and Guo Da, and saw that the two did not react, so he turned his gaze to Zhao Yu again, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Survival, of course." Zhao Yu smiled and asked, "What does Lieutenant Ma think we want to do?" Can we still force you to help us take down Kunyang County? This is a rebellion! We still have to keep this head to eat, how dare we go against the court? …… We just want to collect some subsistence money from the caravans along the way in the Yingshan area, and we will neither kill innocents indiscriminately nor do anything harmful to nature and reason in the future...... We also lent money and food to the villages down the mountain. ”

"I've heard that." Ma Gai nodded and sneered: "You robbed other people's villages of money and food, and then turned around and lent them again, it is really an unprecedented, unheard of 'evil'!" ”

Of course, ridicule is ridicule, but Ma Gai must also admit that compared with the bandits who slaughtered villages in other places, this gang of Ying bandits is indeed much better, such as Fengcun, which reported to the official a while ago, at least Yang Tong and his gang lent the village food to make a living, so as not to let these villagers flee to the county seat and ask for food from the county seat.

It's just that a thief is a thief after all.

He shook his head and said: "As long as you are still in Kunyang, my county commanders Liu Bi and Liu Gong of Kunyang County will definitely not tolerate ......."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, since we can make friends with Lieutenant Ma, we can make friends with Liu Gongxing." ”

“……”

Ma Gai looked at Zhao Yu with some consternation, of course he understood the meaning behind that sentence, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

"You want to control my Kunyang County?"

He said in his heart that this gang of bandits was too bold.

"How so?" Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "We people just want to be able to live in Yingshan, whether it is to be friends with Ma County Lieutenant or with Liu Gong, it is all to make a living, how dare we go against the government?" Against the Imperial Court? …… Lieutenant Ma can rest assured that we, these people, will definitely not cause you trouble. You see......"

He handed the pen to Margay again.

Looking at Yang Tong and Guo Da, and then at Zhao Yu, Ma Gai let out a long breath, shook his head and mocked: "If you don't sign, you will die, if you sign, I will still die...... is also death, why should I be stigmatized for no reason? ”

"At least Lieutenant Ma can live a few more years......"

"But when the county learns that he will eventually die."

"People are going to die after all."

“……”

"Jokes, jokes." Seeing Ma Gai's strange expression, Zhao Yu smiled, turned his head to Yang Tong and said, "Master Dazhai, let's promise not to reveal the matter of Ma County's order, what do you think?" ”

"Of course." Yang Tong said with a smile: "Yang sincerely wants to make friends with Ma Xianling, mutual benefit, I can swear to God, this matter will only be known to the four of us, and will never let the fifth person know." ”

Ma Gai glanced at Yang Tong and said nothing.

A thief's promise is not even as good as a fart in his opinion.

However, at this time, Zhao Yu said in a low voice: "County Lieutenant Ma, you have to hurry up." …… Your people are still looking for you at the moment, and if you delay for a long time, even if we let you go, your people will be suspicious, wondering what happened during your disappearance, why you have been missing for a long time but can return unharmed, and by then, it will be too late. ”

Ma Gai was shocked when he heard this, and at this time, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to stuff the pen into his hand: "Mrs. Ling and Ling Lang are still waiting for Lieutenant Ma to go home and reunite." ”

Looking at Yang Tong, Guo Da, and Zhao Yu, and then at the confession in front of him, Ma Gai gritted his teeth, took a pen and wrote his name on the book, and then bit his index finger and stamped his handprint with blood.

"That's it, right?"

Ma Gai handed Zhao Yu the confession with his name signed and his handprint stamped.

Zhao Yu took the confession and looked at it twice, and when he saw that there was no problem, he turned around and handed it to Yang Tong.

Seeing this confession signed with Ma Gai's name and Ma Gai's handprint, Yang Tong was in a happy mood.

Once upon a time, he could have imagined that one day he would be able to coerce a county lieutenant into submission.

Looking at the smile on Yang Tong's face, Ma Gai was disgusted, frowned and urged, "Satisfied, right?" Loosen it for me. ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "For the sake of prudence, let's leave a sword for Lieutenant Ma and let him cut the rope by himself, so that he won't break ......out."

"You kid......"

Ma Gai frowned, and said in his heart that this kid was too cautious.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and he didn't know what he thought, and looked at Zhao Yu again with a little surprise.

"That's a good idea."

Guo Da nodded, and was about to leave his weapon to Ma Gai, but was stopped by Yang Tong reaching out.

Just when everyone present was a little confused, they saw Yang Tong call in with two thieves guarding the door and asked, "Is there any movement outside the cave?" ”

"There was no movement." The two bandits shook their heads.

"Okay." Yang Tong nodded, and then pointed to Ma Gai and said, "Take him to the cottage." ”

"Yes!"

The two thieves nodded and walked towards Ma Gai, only to see Yang Tong suddenly pull out the sharp sword at his waist and stab through the body of one of the thieves.

"Old ...... Big? The bandit turned his head in disbelief.

Yang Tong didn't say a word, and even if his face was splashed with blood, he didn't change his color, and with another sword, he killed another stunned bandit from the side.

"For ...... Why? ”

The other thief asked, wide-eyed, and slowly fell to the ground.

“……”

Seeing the sudden scene in front of him, Zhao Yu and Ma Gai frowned in unison, and even Guo Da showed surprise, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he chose to be silent.

"In this way, only the four of us will know about this matter."

Wiping the blood stains on his face, Yang Tong threw the bloodstained sword in his hand on the ground, and said with a calm face: "Besides, when Lieutenant Ma goes back, he can also give an explanation to his subordinates." ”

『……』

Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly, avoiding being seen by Yang Tong with the look of disgust in his eyes.

At this time, he finally realized that this Yang Tong was actually such a ruthless person.
