If it weren't for the fact that the country is weak now and can't afford to provoke Joseph's godfather, the Kingdom of Prussia, Clifford would not have agreed to recruit these bandits, these people must be killed quickly, there is no way to do it now, and there will be opportunities in the future.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Clifford glanced around the poor women, and said in a loud voice, "Ladies, you are free. I am the envoy sent by Lord Taylor, the governor of the three northern counties appointed by the king, and now I have recruited Joseph and others, and I have ordered them to release you, and you may go with me now. If you have a home, you can go home, and if you don't have a home, I will arrange a way out for everyone. ”

After saying this, all the ladies in the bandits' den couldn't believe their ears, they were tortured here, living a dark life, they had long been numb, they had long given up hope in life, they had never thought that they could leave here alive and live a normal life again, when they heard Clifford say this, they were stunned for a while, and then they came back to their senses, and knelt on the ground and cried: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, for saving your life." ”

"Even if we are crushed, we can't repay it." Wails and gratefuls resounded throughout the bandit camp.

Collie looked at the scene in front of him, he was very happy, he felt that he had saved so many people this time, which was considered a great virtue, and in the future, God, no, God would definitely reward him, so he hurriedly helped them and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, let's all get up." I'll take you home, and the country's officers and soldiers are just outside the walled city. At this moment, he felt as if he was the hero in an anti-terrorist movie, going deep into the enemy's den and rescuing many female compatriots, it was Leng Feng and Yang Rui, very cool and happy.

Clifford said hello to Joseph, and left the camp with the women, and as for the hundred taels of gold that Joseph had said, Clifford did not mention it again, for he knew that with Joseph's cleverness, since he had spoken it, he would have given him five thousand silver dollars.

Some of the more than 200 women were happy, but more were weeping, weeping for their miserable fate and the dark life they had lived after falling into the hands of thieves, and they were also crying for joy that they had been reborn. They followed behind Clifford, making for a beautiful spectacle.

General Charlie saw that Collie brought a group of women out, and expected that the things he had appeased were almost done, otherwise the other party would definitely not release these women, and his heart was very sour, this was the first time he had entered the three counties in the north Ah, the credit was snatched away by the hairy boy Cleeford, looking at Cleeford's eyes were a little strange, he snorted heavily, and did not speak.

General Charlie could not speak, but Collie could not help but speak, walked up to General Charlie, bowed mechanically, and said coldly: "This time we were able to successfully recruit this bandit, thanks to General Charlie's previous onslaught, they were beaten with no way out. I will report the credit of General Charles to Governor Taylor in detail. These ladies are all poor people who have been robbed by bandits, and ask General Charlie to send them home, and if they are homeless, I think they will be assigned to meritorious soldiers as wives. What do you think of this suggestion? ”

This era is still ignorant, freedom of marriage, freedom of love is all nonsense, and a word from those in power can decide the fate of this group of poor women.

General Charlie was noncommittal, nodded lightly, it was an approval of Clifford's plan, after a series of inquiries, most of the women had a home, and these people would be sent home by the local government, and more than thirty homeless women were assigned to meritorious soldiers, including the woman who poured Clifford's wine. Collie Fu noticed her eyes, there was pity in his eyes, and there was begging, he should want to go with him, but my brother is not a saint, as a man who has no shortage of beautiful women, it is really difficult to accept a woman who has been in the bandits' den for so long, not to mention that you and your brother have no emotional foundation, just treat it as a passerby, because of her good looks, she is valued by a low-level petty officer, and she can be regarded as finding a good home.

After settling the matter, General Charles was stationed on the spot and sent his most trusted men to Heihe County so that he could take charge of the defense of Heihe County. Collie took Olivia back to Chaoen City.

The first thing he did when he returned to Chao'en City was naturally to report to Governor Taylor about his work, and Cliffor's detailed report to Governor Taylor about the process of recruiting Joseph, and when he said it, he naturally focused on how General Charles stopped Zhao'an, how he turned the tide, and resolutely carried out the teacher's intentions.

Governor Taylor is an old fox, so he naturally knows that Clifford is asking for merit and reward for himself, and he will not go to General Charlie because of Cliffor's little slander, he still needs General Charlie at present, and said lightly: "You did a good job this time, go back and rest first." If there is another mission in the future, I will send you again. ”

Have another mission in the future? I'm rubbing, isn't it because I'm doing it this time because I'm doing it with merit and merit? Don't ask too much, the county magistrate, no, the township chief will do, so that I can complete the tasks of the system. But after thinking about it, my heart was balanced again, this time I was able to successfully recruit Joseph and others, my role was not the biggest, the biggest should be General Charlie's deterrent, I just seized the opportunity and I was really not qualified to ask for more rewards, if I negotiated the conditions with Governor Taylor now, it would definitely make him despise, which was greatly detrimental to his own development, so he bowed politely to Taylor and said respectfully: "Yes, teacher." Then the students will go back first, and you should pay attention to rest, teacher. ”

Governor Taylor said "um", did not speak, squinted and leaned back in his chair, Clifford said no more, and bowed out.

When they returned to their lodgings, all the servants led by Yasan gathered around, and when they saw that their master had returned safely, they greeted him, "Master, you have finally returned." We've all heard that you've done a great job by recruiting Joseph's gang of bandits. ”

The servants were also kind enough to comfort him, and Collie smiled faintly and said, "Our family should not say such extraneous words, this time I just picked up a bargain, and even Governor Taylor did not think that I had much credit, and only gave a verbal compliment." However, we did not gain nothing, at least we made a lot of money, and left Governor Taylor with the impression that he could always understand the intentions of the leadership. ”
