Chapter 18: Intercession for the Robbers

At this time, outside the granary surrounded by fire, it was Zhao Qian and dozens of tenant farmers who were standing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Master, there are a few robbers outside the village who are guarding their belongings, and they have been subdued by us." Wang Shan walked up to Zhao Qian's side and said.

Zhao Qian nodded, looking at the wailing figures in the fire, Zhao Qian also felt a little strange in his heart, after all, it was his own plan that led to the death of these robbers.

Zhao Qian comes from modern society, and he is still in awe of life, although it is a robber, but the first time he kills someone, Zhao Qian is still a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhao Qian also understands that in this chaotic era, if you don't harm others, it doesn't mean that others won't harm you, if you want to survive, you can only get rid of all those who threaten you!

The robbers in the fire were no longer a threat, and those who rushed out were also subdued by the tenant farmers, and they had no combat power for the time being, and most of the robbers were reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

The fire burned until dawn and gradually extinguished, although no one was injured in Zhao Qian's battle, several granaries and several houses were affected and burned to ashes.

When the tenant farmers, who had gone into hiding at night, returned to the village, they wept when they saw the scorched earth.

However, most of the tenant farmers were very excited, especially those who had trained with Zhao Qian, and they did not expect that they would defeat nearly sixty robbers.

Why, of course, is not because they are strong, but because they have a wise master, and it is the master's stratagem that allows them to win the battle unscathed.

"Master, the head of the Su Mansion is here." Ge Laohan came to Zhao Qian's side and said.

Zhao Qian nodded, and as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Qian sent someone to deliver a letter to Su Fu.

After Su Quan learned the news, he was very excited, and hurriedly led people towards the tenant village.

"Ziyuan, it's really you, I didn't expect that the down-and-out son of the day would be able to repel the robbers today, it's really embarrassing." Su Quan came to Zhao Qian's side and said.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and hurriedly returned the salute: "If it weren't for the help of the Su family master at the beginning, he would not have been able to make such a living, and there is the property captured by the robbers, so the Su family master can go and verify it." ”

Su Quan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to verify, I can trust Ziyuan." ”

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "Yesterday, the Su Mansion was robbed, why didn't the head of the Su family report to the official, and watched his family being robbed?" ”

Su Quan's face flashed with dissatisfaction, sighed, and said: "Yesterday, the county commander celebrated his birthday, feasted the mansion, and the servants in the county were all drunk, and no one was able to go to arrest the thief, which is really hateful!" ”

"The prefectural order has arrived!"

At this moment, suddenly a voice came, the county magistrate actually came, apparently also received the news, robbers entered the county to rob, but it was a big deal!

Su Quan's face was not very good-looking, but he still stepped forward and said, "Hello to the county commander, yesterday's birthday, Su Mou's thin gift, is the county commander still satisfied?" ”

The surname of Yixian County is Mou, the name is the ancestral hall, the word Zongshun, the figure is slightly rich, and he came to Su Quan and Zhao Qian surrounded by more than a dozen servants.

Mu Ci could hear that Su Quan's words were there, and complained that he didn't send someone to rescue him last night, but the Su family had a lot of power in Yi County, and Mu Ci was not too strong.

"The master of the Su family is polite, it was really the official's carelessness last night, so he let the thieves take advantage of the situation, don't blame him." Mu Ci said with a smile.

Seeing that Su Quan no longer spoke, Mu Ci turned his head to look at Zhao Qian, and couldn't help but nod and smile: "Sure enough, he is a young hero, who can repel robbers, and the official has thanked him." ”

"The county order has been awarded, and the robbers are coming, and I have no choice but to do it." Zhao Qian said modestly.

Seeing that Zhao Qianju was not arrogant, Mu Ci was very satisfied, and said: "This official promises that if these robbers come again next time, he will never let one go." ”

"Lord Prefectural, those robbers can't come again, most of them are burned to death in the granary." Wang Shan on the side spoke.

After hearing this, Mu Ci was taken aback, looked at Zhao Qian with some disbelief, and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's true, there are many robbers, and I have no choice but to make this move, lure them into the granary, attack them with fire, except for a few dozen people, including the leader of the robbers, all of them were burned to death in the warehouse." ”

Zhao Qian's words made Su Quan, Mu Ci and those servants all gasp, they all knew the number of robbers last night, but they didn't expect most of them to die here.

"Ziyuan has courage and knowledge, and this official admires it!" Mu Ci said, and he was much closer to Zhao Qian's title.

Zhao Qian bowed slightly, and said: "Mu County Order, I thought that the robbers came last night, and it coincided with the birthday of the county commander, and someone must have secretly communicated, so that the robbers took advantage of the situation, and the adults still need to be aware of it." ”

After hearing this, Mu Ci nodded and said, "What Ziyuan said is extremely true, someone must have informed the robbers of the affairs in the county, otherwise he would not have chosen to come to loot last night." ”

"I have also caught a dozen robbers in the bottom, and I can interrogate them." Zhao Qian said.

Seeing Mu Ci nodding, Zhao Qian ordered the tenant farmers to bring over the more than a dozen robbers who had been captured, and they either had blue noses and swollen faces, or their faces were scorched, and they were very embarrassed.

"This official asks you and others, if there is an inner body in the county, come quickly and truthfully, otherwise you will be killed!" Mu Ci shouted.

After a moment of silence, one of the robbers suddenly said, "If I tell me the truth, can I bypass our lives, and I will swear that I will never be robbers again." ”

The other robbers also looked at the county order with a look of hope, hoping to be forgiven.

Mu Ci rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you confess truthfully, this county can spare you from death." ”

The robber was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The reason why we came to rob is that we did learn that the county commander held a banquet, and the servants were negligent in their precautions. ”

"Who the hell told you the news?" Mu Ci asked sternly.

"It's Ding Yong in the county, he told us the news, and opened the city gate at night, let me and others enter the city, and our boss will share his share afterwards." The robber said.

When Mu Ci heard this, he was furious, and ordered loudly: "Come on, go and arrest Ding Yong, and behead these robbers for public display!" ”

The robber was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lord County Commander, I have confessed all of them, why do you want to kill me, just now you promised to bypass us, don't Lord County Commanders be faithful?" ”

Mu Ci snorted coldly and said, "What kind of faith do you talk to you robbers, if you dare to violate my county border, I will kill them!" ”

"You!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qian thought about it, took a step forward and said: "Mu County Order, there is a word under it, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Mu Ci was still quite polite to Zhao Qian, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan doesn't have to be polite, just say something if you have something." ”

"I want to intercede for these captured robbers, and beg the county to spare them from death, I don't know if it's okay?" Zhao Qian stared at Mu Ci with his eyes and said with his fists clenched.
