Chapter Twenty-Eight: Raising Bandits is a Problem
There will definitely be a village owner of more than 100 people, at least there will always be a few leaders, Su Yi looked around at the captives in one place, and asked, "What about your village owner?" β
The thieves looked at each other, and in the scuffle, they only cared about slashing and killing each other and fleeing for their lives, so how could they care about where the owner of the village went.
Su Yi shook his head, but he heard a shout of killing coming from the back mountain, he hurriedly called the bandits to collect these prisoners, and led Scar to chase after the back mountain.
Sure enough, on the path back to the mountain, Qian Leopard led two pikemen to fight with more than a dozen well-equipped bandits. The leader was dressed in heavy armor and carried a ghost-headed broadsword to fight with Qian Leopard.
And the two pikemen brought by Qian Leopard were beaten back by the rest of the bandits, looking at the corpses of several pikemen lying on the ground, Scar's eyes instantly turned red, these pikemen were the treasures of his younger brother Liu Shisan.
Fortunately, Qian Leopard was brave, forced away the leading bandit with one shot, and rushed into the crowd to save the two pikemen, but the other party was outnumbered, and Qian Leopard gradually became a little overwhelmed.
"Rush forward!" Su Yi beckoned more than a hundred minions behind him to step forward.
The leading bandit was alert, seeing that there were many people on the other side, and he was entangled by the money leopard, and he couldn't escape, so he quickly hid to the side, threw down his weapon, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "A good man spare his life!" Small willing avatars! β
This guy is clever, Su Yi drank the Qian Leopard who was about to make a move, stepped forward and said, "Let your subordinates throw down their weapons." β
When the leading bandit heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ordered his entourage: "Drop your weapons and fight them back, the big army is coming." β
When everyone heard this, they also dropped their weapons one after another, and let the bandits behind Su Yi rush up and hold them down.
These people's weapons are quite sophisticated, and their skills are not bad, especially the one who is in the lead, who can barely compete with Qian Leopard, and he can be regarded as a talent.
Su Yi couldn't help laughing for a while when he saw that this thing was slippery, he nodded and said, "You are still knowledgeable about current affairs, okay, I'll take you, what's your name?" β
"Little Meng Hai has seen the king!" The leading bandit stepped forward with a courteous face and handed the package behind him to Su Yi.
"King, this is a small little bit of heart......"
Su Yi didn't even glance at the package, and ordered, "Give it to the relatives behind me." β
Meng Hai said yes again and again, and hurriedly handed the package to Qian Leopard, who was standing aside with big eyes and staring at him, "You take it, this king." β
Seeing this, Su Yi shook his head slightly, this Meng Hai can gather more than a hundred thieves to occupy this place, and he is quite capable, and he has good skills, looking at several of his personal guards, he is also a tall man, it seems that this person does have some ability, but no matter how you look at this thing, he looks like a treacherous guy.
After counting the manpower, there were eight casualties among the minions, more than 60 thieves were captured, and the rest either died at the hands of Scar and others, or killed each other, and the already dilapidated cottage was full of bandits' corpses.
Su Yi ordered Qian Bao to take care of the captives, personally took the scar, led the way by Meng Hai, and went all the way to the warehouse where the materials were stored in the village. Although most of the silver money in the cottage has been swept away by Meng Hai, many of them have been left in the warehouse and have not had time to take them away.
Looking at the warehouses full of grain and rice, Scar laughed and couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Hai did have some means, and under his leadership, this group of rebellious rogues often went down the mountain to plunder the merchants of the past.
According to Meng Hai himself, not long ago, he led people to rob a group of bandits, who had just ransacked a caravan, and was ambushed by Meng Hai to take advantage of the fisherman.
This style is very similar to Peach Blossom Village, Su Yi and the others couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.
Looking at his subordinates with fierce expressions, Su Yi smiled and said: "This battle is all due to the efforts of everyone, each of these captured silver will receive one tael, and Qian Leopard will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for stopping Meng Hai." β
As soon as these words came out, all the bandits were elated, and even Qian Bao, who had always been fierce and vicious, showed a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you King Su, thank you King Liu." β
Scar laughed, and said to Qian Leopard with a smug expression: "I once told you that Brother Su has always treated his subordinates preferentially, and as long as you are loyal to Taohuazhai in the future, Brother Su will definitely not treat you badly." β
Su Yi nodded and said: "I have always done things fairly, I will be rewarded for meritorious service, and punished if I have made mistakes, I will definitely not treat the brothers who have contributed to Taohuazhai badly, and the seriously injured brothers will each be rewarded with money." β
A group of bandits cheered, and the bandits who were captured with Meng Hai all showed envious expressions.
Whether it is Meng Hai or the owner of the village they used to talk to, they will not be as generous as Su Yi.
In addition to the seizure in front of him, Su Yi also ordered someone to collect the armor and weapons of the dead bandits, as for the worn leather armor and horse chopping knives, they were also taken away.
It seems that it is really necessary to bring a few blacksmiths and leathermen over, Su Yi looked at the weapons and equipment in one place, and felt worried.
Scar led people to put away the heads of the thieves they had captured, and Da Chu's military exploits have always been the highest in killing Hulu, followed by the ghost barbarians, and finally the bandits and grass robbers in various places, these gains were sold to Cheng Wenyuan, and he could also exchange them for a lot of meritorious deeds.
Cheng Wenyuan is a son of a big family, his identity is innocent, and he can take the head of a thief to repay his merits, but Su Yi can't, not to mention that his identity is a thief at the moment, just because he offended Pei Wen, maybe he was killed by Pei Wen's protΓ©gΓ© before his military merits were reported.
Although Pei Wen is a powerful minister, he has countless protΓ©gΓ©s, and there are not a few people who accept other favors from the government and the opposition.
Just when Su Yi was thinking about whether to borrow Cheng Wenyuan's hand to clear his identity, Scar led his subordinates to find more than 30 imprisoned women, these women were forcibly taken up the mountain by Meng Hai and others, Su Yi naturally comforted them and asked Scar to arrange for them to return to Taohuazhai first.
"King, have we burned this bandit village?" Qian Leopard approached and asked Su Yi in a low voice.
Scar nodded, and said: "Now that the Peach Blossom Village is understaffed, it is impossible to send people to garrison here, if this bandit village is left idle here, I am afraid that it will be occupied by the rogue bandits in the future, and it will simply be burned down." β
The last time they attacked Qingfeng Village, Su Yi and others were in a hurry to retreat and did not burn down the village. It didn't take long for Qingfeng Village to be occupied by a group of grass robbers, and then Meng Hai and others went up the mountain, killed the original grass robbers, and began to gather the rooks to occupy the mountain as the king.
Su Yi pondered for a moment and said, "This village is not in a hurry to burn it down first. β
He intends to leave Qingfeng Village.
As long as the village is not destroyed, other rogue bandits will continue to gather, and when Qingfeng Village reaches a certain scale, they will send troops to recruit them.
"Brother Su, be careful of raising bandits!" Scar seemed to see Su Yi's thoughts, and leaned into his ear and whispered.
