At this time, Chu Wan'er had already calmed the women temporarily, walked over, and saw Guo Zhiyuan's entangled look, she knew that he was worried about how to settle these women, glared at him and said, "You won't care, right?!" These women are so pitiful, if you leave them alone, they will have nowhere to go! You wouldn't be so unsympathetic, would you? Then I'll look down on you......"

Guo Zhiyuan saw Chu Wan'er's appearance and knew that he had to take this hot potato even if he didn't want to, so he waved his hand a little upset and said, "You go find some clothes for them to change into, and take them back to the county seat first......

"Yay! I knew you wouldn't care! Chu Wan'er jumped and clapped her hands.

Guo Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Chu Wan'er a little speechlessly and left quickly, there are more than 300 bandit captives waiting for him to deal with, these bandits are very complicated, there are deserters who have lost the battle and dare not return to the original army, there are fugitives who have broken the law and refuse to be arrested, there are rogues who have fled from other places, and there are also local farmers who have lost their land and cannot make a living and are willing to degenerate, Guo Zhiyuan cannot kill all these people, he has not been addicted to killing to such an extent, and if he wants to do this, It will definitely leave a brutal impression on the people, and it will be very bad for his official reputation.

But Guo Zhiyuan can't let these people go, because if these people are released, most of them will join other bandit gangs again, so that the bandit will never be solved, Chongzhen made such a mistake in the late Ming Dynasty, first tried to recruit the Liukou, but the front foot just recruited the back foot people rebelled again, and the Liukou power became bigger and bigger, and then Chongzhen was determined to exterminate the Liukou, and sent Cao Wenzhao, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Zuo Liangyu and other famous ministers to surround and suppress the Liukou, these are all ruthless people who are famous in history, Several times it seemed that he was going to be completely wiped out by the Liukou, but in the end, the Liukou could always be burned by wildfires, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, and finally Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan can't make the same mistake as Chongzhen, he can't kill and kill, and he can't let go, then he can only divide and disintegrate, and he must kill those bandits who have committed heinous crimes to set an example, and those bandits who have no major evil deeds can be co-opted if they have no conscience, which is also Guo Zhiyuan's strategy to suppress bandits after several consultations with Xu Guangqi.

But how to divide and disintegrate is a technical job, after all, the bandits have no writing on their heads, how do you know which is the most heinous crime, and which one is the conscience?

Guo Zhiyuan also has a headache about this problem, but this is also a problem he must solve, at this time the sky has begun to lighten, the burning fire has begun to gradually extinguish, and there are still a small number of regimental training township soldiers cleaning the battlefield, seeing Guo Zhiyuan saluted him, Guo Zhiyuan beckoned a township soldier, gave him a few commands, took a deep breath, and strode towards the meeting hall of the mountain leopard.

There is a large flat in front of the meeting hall of the Drill Mountain Leopard, where the bandits usually practice, at this time the more than 300 bandits who were captured were all holding their heads and squatting there, Sun Laosan and the fifty Sun Mansion family members were guarding them with weapons in their hands, Sun Laosan also knew that Guo Zhiyuan deliberately supported them, and did not let them participate in cleaning up the battlefield and counting the captured fat, but when Sun Chuan came, he asked him to listen to Guo Zhiyuan's command, so he couldn't say anything, but he was uncomfortable and uncertain. So when he saw Guo Zhiyuan coming, his face was very ugly.

"Mr. Sun, it's hard work, now you can take your family to the side to rest, and the work of guarding the prisoners will be handed over to the regimental training village soldiers of this official......" Guo Zhiyuan smiled and arched his hand towards Sun Laosan.

Sun Laosan snorted coldly, waved his hand and walked to the side with the Sun Mansion family, but he did not leave, he is now interested in this young county commander, ready to observe him, Guo Zhiyuan temporarily transferred eighty regimental training township soldiers to take over their work, Guo Zhiyuan glanced at the bandits squatting on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Do you want to live?" ……”

The bandits hugged their heads and looked at each other, and said in their hearts, aren't you talking nonsense? Who wouldn't want to live?

Guo Zhiyuan continued slowly: "If you want to live, you must do what the official says, and you must ensure that everything you say is the truth, otherwise it will be no wonder that the official is ruthless......"

Speaking of this, Guo Zhiyuan's speed of speech suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "You have never killed innocent people and take a step forward!" ……”

Naturally, the bandits knew that this was their only chance to survive, and they all scrambled to take a step forward, leaving only a dozen or so extremely stubborn bandits in place.

"Drag it out, cut it!" Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand vigorously and said sharply, and more than a dozen township soldiers who had already received his orders immediately stepped forward and dragged out the more than ten bandits, and with a clean wave of the knife, they cut off all the heads of the more than ten bandits!

The rest of the bandits all screamed in horror, and their eyes looking at Guo Zhiyuan were also full of fear, this guy looked polite and polite, how could he be more ruthless than these bandits, he really killed people without blinking!

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at the bandits as if nothing happened, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, it seems that you all cherish your lives, so I hope you can seize the opportunity below, I know that some of you must not be telling the truth, but it doesn't matter, I believe that the eyes of the masses are bright......"

Speaking of this, Guo Zhiyuan paused, and suddenly said with a strange smile on his face: "Let's play a game together, the name of this game is Truth or Dare!" ......", after speaking, he glanced at the confused bandits, pointed to one of the bandits who looked honest, and beckoned, "You come out ......"

The bandit thought that Guo Zhiyuan was going to kill him, so he walked out tremblingly, Guo Zhiyuan glanced at him and said in a slow tone: "Don't be afraid, as long as you promise that you are telling the truth, I will not only not kill you, but will also give you a piece of land, so that you have food, clothing, and a place to live!" ……”

The bandit's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had to become a bandit because he lost his land and couldn't pay the tenant rent, he couldn't care about being afraid, and stammered excitedly: "Big... My lord, you... What you're saying is true... It's true? Small... Villain... Promise to only tell the truth... Truthfully, no... Don't tell lies! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true, then you can listen well, I want you to point out a person who has killed innocent people from among these people!" ……”

The bandit was dumbfounded when he heard this, this is an offending thing, and it is an offend to death! However, thinking of Guo Zhiyuan's promise to give him land, he gritted his teeth, and pointed to a fierce bandit with a scar on his face in the crowd and said, "He! He has killed innocent people, and more than one, I have seen it with my own eyes! ……”

The bandit with the scar on his face immediately jumped up, pointed at the honest-looking bandit and scolded: "Huang Laofu, don't bite people with mad dogs!" You just don't deal with me and deliberately frame me, and I even say that you killed the people! ……”
