When Qin Chuan returned to Mengjiazhuang, more than 30 captives had been escorted outside the village, and they were sitting in the corner of the wall with their heads down, and hundreds of villagers were guarding them with guns and spears issued by Mengjiazhuang.

"Big boss, how do you deal with these people?"

Seeing Qin Chuan coming back, Luo Ba, who was holding a horned bow, came up to ask.

Qin Chuan didn't rush to answer, but walked over to take a look.

"Qin Da Boss's spare life, we are willing to swear to follow the ...... of the big boss"

"Qin Da is in charge, from now on, my rotten life will be sold to you, if you let me go east, I will never go west."

As soon as they saw Qin Chuan, the captives hurriedly knelt on the ground, either crying or pleading.

Qin Chuan didn't respond, he just looked at the villagers and homeless people around him, and said lightly: "These thieves robbed you of your food, killed your relatives, and ruined your family, don't you want to take revenge?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the captives' faces changed dramatically.

"Master Qin, what do you mean by this? Our dozens of brothers have already fallen, are you still going to kill us? ”

Qin Chuan still didn't respond, and walked into Zhuangzi without looking back.

The villagers with guns and spears looked at each other, many of them full of hatred and eagerness.

When Bashanhu attacked Mengjiazhuang, except for the villagers who reacted quickly and carried the grain away in time, most of the grain in their homes was robbed, and many villagers died.

Now in the face of the enemy, the family members of those villagers have long wanted to take revenge on the enemy, but they didn't dare to do it because of the obscenity of the Mengjiazhuang Nursing Home before.

But, didn't the meaning of Steward Qin's words mean that they should kill these thieves?

Immediately, some bold villagers went up with spears and shouted: "Big guys go up together, kill these thieves, and avenge the villagers." ”

"Kill them and get revenge." A few more villagers came out.

The faces of the captives turned pale, and one of them immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Fellow villagers spare our lives, we are all croppers in these ten miles and eight towns, and we were forced to go to Huangcong Mountain in desperation, spare our lives." ”

A few more suddenly had a fierce light in their eyes, and they rushed out of the crowd with their legs, and snatched the villagers' weapons with their hands.

A villager couldn't react, he was chopped off with a spear by the other party, and then smashed on the head by the opponent's backhand spear, and fell down on the spot.

However, the villagers were outnumbered, with three or four hundred people, and the so-called people were so bold that instead of being frightened and fleeing, they were all enraged.

Under the excitement of the crowd, hundreds of villagers pointed their guns and spears at the dozens of captives, scolded their mothers and shouted trumpets, and advanced step by step.

When there were bursts of screams outside the village, Qin Chuan had no waves in his heart.

None of the captives will be left.

One is because of the annoying villagers, if he takes in those captives, he will inevitably lose the hearts of the villagers.

Letting the villagers kill the captives will make them invisibly have the impression that 'the Great Steward of Qin is on the same side as them', and it can also make these villagers emboldened, and it will be convenient to draw troops from them in the future.

Second, because these captives are not easy to control, almost all the thieves in Huangcong Mountain are adulterers, kidnappers, indiscriminately killing and looting, these people are difficult to discipline, and they are only about 30 old bandits in Jiuji Mountain, and they can't control so many people.

What's more, Bashan Tiger is not dead, and Huangcongshan Dazhai is still there, leaving these people by his side is a big hidden danger, and it is not unusual to sell himself one day.

Back at the gatehouse, Qin Chuan first counted the battle damage, and after finding that there were no brothers who were killed in battle or particularly seriously injured, he relaxed and then sat down to eat something to fill his stomach.

The body of the big fish head and the two injured brothers are still in the mine, and they will be brought back early tomorrow morning.

Qin Chuan was not worried about the rebellion in the mines, those miners who sold coolies to eat would follow whoever they had to eat, and they had also seen his methods, as long as he was not mean and deductive, and did not abuse and kill indiscriminately, they would not rebel.

After eating, and asking his subordinates to find some wood to nail a coffin, Qin Chuan walked to the inner courtyard alone.

He wanted to talk to Wang Jizong.

Today, he has nearly 10,000 acres of cultivated land, a black mountain mine, hundreds of miners and thousands of tenants, and in a few days he will have to take in a large number of displaced people, involving all aspects of work, from production management to thousands of people eating, drinking, and Lazar, there are so many big and small things that he can't manage everything.

What's more, there are many things he doesn't understand at all, such as farming, mining, iron making, revenue and expenditure management, etc., and he can't do this.

In the past, the Meng family had more than a dozen big and small stewards, but now he only has one and a half buckets of water from Song Zhiting, where can he manage it.

Therefore, I have to have a showdown with Wang Jizong.

If Wang Jizong is willing to follow him, everything will be easy.

He had heard the rumors of this Wang Jizong, who was as stubborn as his ancestors, and knew that the other party was a hard bone and not easy to gnaw, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to try it.

When I took a look at the inner courtyard, Wang Jizong was sitting alone in Master Meng's living room, his face was as heavy as water, as steady as Mount Tai, and he seemed to be waiting for him.

"Mr. Wang, are you still used to living in this place?"

As soon as he entered the door, Qin Chuan said with a smile as he walked.

Wang Jizong glanced up at him, then stood up, shook his big sleeves, and bowed: "Ming Zhao thanked Mr. Qin for borrowing grain for his kindness, and when the autumn harvest comes next year, I will repay Mr. Qin's great kindness." ”

"A few catties of food are just enough, not enough to worry about."

Qin Chuan smiled, but he thought in his heart that he was worthy of being a well-known talent, so he didn't say a word about tonight's rescue, and also explained the date of returning the food, making it clear that he didn't owe himself favors.

Wang Jizong shook his sleeves and robe again and said, "Mr. Qin, since the Huangcong Mountain Thieves have been given the head to retreat, Ming Zhao will not bother Mr. Qin." ”

"There's no hurry." Qin Chuan waved his hand, then sat down next to him, and said, "Mr. Wang, Qin has something to ask for, and I hope Mr. can fulfill it." ”

Wang Jizong's face did not change: "Mr. Qin, please speak." ”

Qin Chuan got straight to the point and said: "Then Qin Mou said bluntly, I heard that Mr. Wang knows astronomy and geography, and he can govern the country and retreat to Qi family, which is a rare talent in a hundred years, Qin has admired Mr. Wang for a long time, and it is at the moment when Lou is tired of all kinds of waste and waiting to be revitalized At the moment of the shortage of talents, Qin Mou is brave and wants to ask Mr. Wang to go out of the mountain and take charge of the affairs of Mengjiazhuang and the size of the farming, so that the mayor of Lou Fu Town will be prosperous. ”

Wang Jizong's face still did not change, he only got up and arched his hand, and said apologetically: "Thank you Mr. Qin for your kindness, but most of the rumors in the market are fabricated rumors out of thin air. ”

Qin Chuan had long expected that he would refuse, and he was not in a hurry at the moment, so he only diverted the topic and asked: "When chaos is everywhere today, I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks about the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the Jin and Shaanxi Liukou?" ”

Wang Jizong smiled: "The farmers in the mountains and fields of Mingzhao District are ignorant of the situation in the world, I am afraid that Mr. Qin will be disappointed." ”

Qin Chuan's face was slightly stiff, and he still had a smile on his face, but he kept scolding his mother in his heart.

Aren't those routines of recruiting talents through novels all exaggerated about the situation first, and then the two sides fight with each other, arguing with reason, and finally the protagonist convinces the wise men with his foresight and the spirit of the king?

Why did Wang Jizong come here and didn't even have to talk about it?

Could it be that if you become a bandit, you are destined to only come hard?
