When the army returned to Donghai County, the crow army of Haohao Tangtang escorted thousands of pirates through the streets and alleys, which aroused countless onlookers from the original residents of Donghai County.

Only then did they truly realize that these newcomers were indeed different from those who were sent by the imperial court before, and they were truly capable. Otherwise, it would not be possible to capture all the pirates who committed the crime in one battle, and many residents even recognized the pirate leader Wei Ge Chengjiro, who was tied up and led, but he was also caught.

You must know that Wei Ge Chengjiro is in the eyes of the fishermen in Donghai County, it is similar to the existence of demons, and his name can stop children crying in Donghai County. Almost all the fishermen's homes were robbed by him and pirates, and even some of the beautiful women of the fishermen's families were taken captive by them.

As soon as these pirates were caught, the fishermen who had been hiding in their homes and peeking through the cracks in the doors and windows could no longer bear it, and pushed open the doors and walked out of their yards, picking up stones on the ground and smashing their heads and faces at the pirates, smashing their bags all over their faces, and some of them even had blood on their foreheads. Wei Ge Chengjiro, who was the leader, was the worst, not only his forehead was red and swollen, but his nose was also smashed, and his nose bleededs.

Some of the Crows' soldiers were also implicated and were hit by crooked stones. Su Ziheng saw that the situation was not good, and if he continued to smash like this, these pirates would be stoned to death.

He hurriedly urged his horse forward, stopped the agitated fishermen, and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, stop for a moment and listen to me!" ”

Su Ziheng came out, and the fishermen who originally wanted to throw stones listened to it, and when they saw what he was wearing, they knew that he had an extraordinary background, and if he was injured with a stone, it would cause a big disaster to his family.

Su Ziheng rode on a high-headed horse, and hugged his fists in front of him: "Thank you fathers and fellow villagers for appreciating your faces, under Su Ziheng, it is the long history of the Donghai County Lord's Mansion, and if you have something to do in the future, you can go to the princess's mansion to find Su." As long as it is within the scope of its ability, it will never be prevaricated. ”

"Today, all the pirates who will be committed by the pro-army in the princess's mansion have been captured, I know that you hate this group of pirates, but we can't use torture in private, when the time comes, we will try this group of pirates publicly, and all those who commit a lot of crimes will be executed in accordance with the law, and there will be no favoritism. In addition, the army on the princess's mansion will also set out to attack the nest of the pirates, and Su hopes that all the fathers and villagers will actively participate, even if it is just to help us drive the boat. ”

"We will give you a fortune when the time comes, if there are villagers who are willing to exterminate the pirates together, I hope you go to the county government to register, and Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely not treat you badly. In addition to the people who need to drive the boat, the princess's mansion also needs a lot of manual work, if you are willing, you can go to the county government to understand the situation, we will arrange a special person in the county government to be responsible for explaining to you. ”

"Now, please give way to the old folks, and we will rush back to interrogate these pirates and see where their lair is. Try not to let any pirates escape. ”

After listening to Su Ziheng's words, those fishermen unanimously moved out of the way. After the Crow Army walked by, they each discussed, "Did you say that the young adult was telling the truth?" Is the new princess really going to round up the pirates? ”

Someone nodded and said: "I don't think it's true, Her Royal Highness the princess's army is so powerful, and all the more than 2,000 pirates who will commit crimes in the future have been captured, which proves that they have the ability to wipe out those pirates." ”

"If that's the case, then we'll be much better off without the pirates' monthly sweeps, even fishing. I just don't know if the new princess will collect heavy taxes on us, don't drive away the pirates when the time comes, and there will be a princess who is more greedy than the pirates. Someone worried.

"I don't think so," someone held the opposite opinion, "looking at the equipment of these princess mansion troops, plus each of them riding war horses, I know that Her Royal Highness the princess is not short of money, and he will definitely not look down on our income." I didn't hear the lord just say that Her Royal Highness still has to hire people to do the work, and she still needs to pay a salary. If they want to exploit us, why should they pay us wages? ”

"Lian Bo is right, if they are really willing to encircle and suppress pirates and lack boatmen, I, Haizi, am willing to go and sail for them, even if I don't have wages."

"Well, Brother Hai wait for me, I'll go with you to see it too. It is rare for the imperial court to send a senior official who is willing to make a difference, and we can't let them go back disheartened. If Donghai County wants to develop, it still depends on all of us working together. ”

"Let's go and see. Anyway, there is no way to go out to sea to fish in this winter, if you can make some money, you can also add a new dress to the big girl in the family during the Chinese New Year this year. ”

Suddenly, dozens of hundreds of people went in the direction of the county office.

……

……

The pirates were escorted to the county office, and at present, only the county government has a cell in Donghai County where prisoners can be held.

Su Ziheng instructed: "First torture their leaders, then detain them separately, interrogate them separately, and if the confession is not correct, those who dare to lie will be punished." ”

Leng Huo said coldly: "No! ”

"In addition......" Su Ziheng's voice suddenly raised his voice, and he said loudly to the pirates present: "If there are any of you who are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I have three places in my hand, and according to the interrogation time, the first person to submit will be treated the best." The last one was enslaved and sent to the mines to work as coolies. ”

The pirates looked at each other, not knowing whether Su Ziheng's words were true or false. However, they all saw the vigilance in each other's eyes, and wondered in their hearts whether they really wanted to take the initiative to surrender for a while, in exchange for a glimmer of life.

At this time, Zhong Qinghan had already heard the news, and after seeing Su Ziheng's performance, he nodded and praised: "Ziheng's clever plan is good, so they are suspicious one by one, and if they have concerns in their hearts, they dare not resist to the end." As long as one of them leaks his mouth, the encirclement and suppression will be much easier. ”

Su Ziheng smiled: "Qinghan, don't you blame me for making my own decisions?" If you really want to co-opt this group of pirates, it's not good for your reputation. ”

Zhong Qinghan smiled disdainfully: "Reputation depends on how to use it, in Donghai County, if you can't live, what's the use of reputation?" As long as you can successfully eradicate those pirates and solve your worries, it doesn't matter if you lose your reputation. ”

Su Ziheng gave her a thumbs up when he heard this, and those who become big things are not informal. If it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, she can follow such a bold princess by her side, and maybe she can really create her ideal paradise.
