"Before I met you, I really wanted to see what the people of the Western Army were like."

Xu Shiyang shook his head and said disappointedly:

"After seeing you, I think it's better for a bastard like you not to come and bring my soldiers badly, so I don't want you anymore, you should die with those old bandits tomorrow."

"San Lang, let's give him a chance." Gongsun Sheng pretended to persuade on the side: "Tomorrow he dies, what should I say when I see those colleagues in the Western Army?" ”

"His colleague asked him, 'Why did you come?' Did you defeat the Tartars? The wilted Taoist priest turned his back to Tang Long, and said with a desperate smile: "How should he answer?" Could it be that 'I became a bandit, and I was caught and cut down by the militia of our Han people'? ”

Xu Shiyang clearly saw that Tang Long was covered in cold sweat, and even trembled slightly, obviously Gongsun Sheng's joking words made him feel real fear.

If there is still shame, then there is salvation.

Xu Shiyang thought for a long time, then turned his head to Tang Long and said:

"You're a bandit, and you're an old bandit."

"Don't tell me anything, you have never gone down the mountain to loot, I don't believe it, so you owe us, you owe us a lot, you owe all the people in Juzhou who are suffering from bandits!"

"It's not a pity for you to die, but Gongsun Sheng said that you have the skill of making blades, it's a pity to die, I believe him for the time being, and give him another chance."

"You're in charge of building me weapons at my request, and I'm going to fight the Tartars! If you can do a good job, when you atone for the sins of the common people, your little life will be kept first. If you can't, say it sooner, and I'll send you to your Western Army colleagues at once, and explain to them why you died. ”

"It's done!" Tang Long hurriedly agreed: "I'll build a blade for you first, and then I'll go to fight the Tartars, call me, I'll cut a few Tartar heads, and I'll have the face to see those brothers when I'm dead!" ”

He thought he was not afraid of death, but Gongsun Sheng just said the most fearful part of his heart - how to face those Western Army comrades who died on the battlefield in the future.

Xu Shiyang shook his head inexplicably - this bastard, afraid of the dead, but not afraid of the living, his purpose of taking refuge in Xu Shiyang is just to have the face to see those Western Army soldiers who died in battle after death, not to feel guilty ...... the people of Juzhou, who are deeply poisoned by bandits.

Then again, in this era, including Xu Shiyang himself, who will have any guilt for the common people?

Could it be that the Dock Fort is good to the peasants below?

The ordinary people of the dock fort were not so much peasants as serfs, and the vast majority of the lord of the dock fort were no better than bandits and tartars.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiyang suddenly felt a little excited, perhaps, his heart was not quite adapted to this cruel world.

"Take him down." Xu Shiyang said to Gongsun Sheng: "After I go back, I will arrange tasks for him and try his skills." ”

"Can I ask for mercy?" He doesn't have to die for the time being, Tang Long seems to be relieved, and says a little inch-by-inch: "There are still a few old brothers of the Western Army in Liu Yuhou's stockade, can you spare them?" ”

"What technology do they have?" Xu Shiyang asked.

"They are all good men who can fight and dare to fight!"

"Did you misunderstand something?" Xu Shiyang sneered: "They are bandits, I don't need bandits who can fight and dare to fight." All old bandits, who are not craftsmen, will be executed tomorrow. ”

"It's a pity that they died like this, can you let them help me?"

"No, I'll pick you an apprentice from my dock."

Tang Long lowered his head, and after a long time, he continued: "Then ......, can you leave Liu Yuhou's son behind?" ”

"Only the youngest son will be left, if it weren't for Liu Yuhou, I would have starved to death, I owe him." Tang Long hurriedly explained: "That child is only 5 years old, he really hasn't gone down the mountain to loot!" ”

"He's dead." Xu Shiyang replied calmly.

"Huh?"

"You were in the warehouse that night? You're besieged by other bandits, aren't you? Do you think those people will let Liu Gao's private house go? ”

Xu Shiyang's words seemed to float from a far, far away, which made Tang Long feel very unreal.

"Liu Gao's wife, concubines, and children were all tortured to death, and they were all bandits from the same cottage as you."

"This is what you call a bunch of men, just a bunch of crumbs."

"Think for yourself."

……

The next day, Xu Shiyang held a public trial.

At first, the new coerced servants and the looted women were silent and did not dare to say anything.

Xu Shiyang found a few clever ones from his subordinates, pretended to be new bandits who were coerced by bandits to come to power, and accused some bandits of crimes in tears, and the onlookers below didn't see anything wrong.

In fact, what they said was the truth, but the victims of those crimes had already died, and the old bandits on the stage could not refute it, and the people in the audience also knew that they absolutely committed those crimes, so they did not doubt it.

Someone started, and the rest of the things were easy to do, and the people below realized that the Xu family really wanted to call the shots for them, and gradually became active.

As the new bandits and their families came to power one by one, and the heinous crimes of the bandits were revealed, the atmosphere at the scene soon became extremely fanatical.

If it weren't for the militia to pull up a cordon to stop them, those conservative bullies might have directly tore the bandit leaders on the stage alive.

Even the owners of Xujiabao, who came to see the excitement at the beginning, became moved after hearing the tragic stories, and some people couldn't stand those tragedies and left the scene halfway.

Those who persevered to the end, including Xu Shisong, became indignant.

"Say no more!"

The eldest son of the Xu family's eldest son jumped three feet high:

"These bandits are all worthy of a thousand cuts! Kill them all! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The people at the scene shouted together, the Xu family militia, and the new bandits and their families who were coerced in Fulai Mountain.

This shout went straight into the sky, and the momentum was amazing, and some of the old bandits were even scared to pee, and some people were already paralyzed and couldn't stand up.

Finally, Gongsun Sheng, who was in charge of reading out the verdict, stood on the stage and announced loudly: "The bandit leader Luo Fugui, the thirty-seven people below Yan Shun, will abandon the city!" The remaining two hundred and twenty-nine people, beheaded! ”

"Good !!"

……

"Good !!"

Xu Shiyang did not go to the scene of the trial, he listened to the sound of the scene across the street with a few craftsmen selected from the old bandits.

When the applause sounded, Xu Shiyang turned around and stared at these bandits tightly and said:

"You are all old bandits, you should have been tried on stage with them, and then you died."

"I really want to treat you like this, and now I'm going to give you a chance with all my disgust."

"You will make me weapons, and I will use them to sweep away bandits, tartars, and other scum, which will be your atonement for the people."

"Remember, make atonement for your sins! This is your last chance! ”
