The order and prohibition is the best interpretation of Ning Zhiyuan's army at this time, and in the blink of an eye, the thieves who have surrendered are surrounded by everyone.

"What do you mean?" Seeing his brother being surrounded, Cheng Chen was furious and wanted to step forward to ask, but Li Jun was in front, he couldn't help it, but there was still a bloody mark on his neck that was wiped by a knife.

"Childe doesn't tell lies." Li Jun said coolly.

Ning Zhiyuan still had a smile on his face, looking at the angry Cheng Chen, "What's your name?" ”

"Cheng Chen." He didn't want to say it, but he thought it would be better not to offend the young man in front of him for such a trivial matter, not to mention that he still had a knife across his neck.

"Why be a robber." Ning Zhiyuan asked, this man can fight with Li Jun without falling behind, but it aroused his interest a little.

"I'm not a robber, I'm a rebel." Cheng Chen emphasized, "We can't get enough to eat, so we revolted, and we grabbed the food of the officers and soldiers." ”

Ning Zhiyuan sneered, "What are the officers and soldiers used for?" ”

Cheng Chen raised his head, "I know it's disaster relief, but I can't let my brothers starve to death. ”

Ning Zhiyuan could see that he was a person who valued feelings, so he didn't say much, and still sneered, "Then you have killed the people in vain." ”

"Nope." Cheng Chen said without hesitation, seeing that there was no hint of falsification in his expression.

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, he believed that this was impossible, the disciplined officers and soldiers could not do it, but this group of bandits could do it?

"Listen, I'm asking you, not you, if you dare not tell the truth, I'll kill all of your remaining eight or nine hundred people."

"You" Cheng Chen was angry again, but it didn't have the slightest effect, and after a while, he had to lower his head and say, "I don't know if they have it." ”

"Have you ever killed the people in vain?" Ning Zhiyuan asked loudly, "If you dare to tell a lie, I will kill your boss." ”

"He's our general." Among the besieged anti-people, Shoko whispered.

Ning Zhiyuan was a little amused, and glanced at the man, "Tell me, who among them has killed the people in vain." ”

"This, this, and these." Xiangzi quickly pointed out a few people, making Ning Zhiyuan frown secretly. "And me." Xiangzi said, "Except for a few of us and General Cheng, we have all killed the people. ”

"Dead Xiangzi, call me boss." Cheng Chen said with red eyes.

"We are the rebels, and you are the general." Shoko also said with red eyes.

"Who have killed more than ten people?" Ning Zhiyuan asked coldly.

This time, Shoko shook his head and didn't speak, indicating that he didn't know.

"Roughly point it out." Ning Zhiyuan shouted angrily, "Or, stand up yourself, otherwise, you all have to die, and your boss must also die." ”

Li Jun was a little surprised, he didn't know that his son-in-law cared so much about this matter, he had killed a lot of civilians when he was in Liaodong before.

Ningxia Weinei, soup kitchen.

"Steward Yuan, where is the official that the lord asked us to arrest?" A man dressed in coarse cloth whispered to a chubby young man in his twenties in front of him.

"How do I know?" Yuan Yi said impatiently, "Later, when I see the eldest brother nodding at someone, just arrest that person." "He is Yuan Shao's distant cousin, so he calls Yuan Shao the eldest brother in front of his subordinates.

"Yes, yes, Steward Yuan is really wise." The man nodded and smiled flatteringly.

"That's it." The young fat man was very proud, but then he saw a scene that made him unbelievable.

"Butler Yuanyuan, is that an adult? Did I look wrong? The servant pointed to the middle-aged man who was tied to the pillar and asked with some hesitation.

"Smack." Yuan Yi patted the man's head angrily, "You are blind, aren't you the eldest brother." ”

"Hurry up and save people." Yuan Yi shouted again.

Hundreds of people rushed towards the soup kitchen with knives in their hands

Outside the Ningxia guard, officers and soldiers were surrounding the thieves.

"That's all there are going on?" Ning Zhiyuan pointed to the dozen or so people who automatically stood up and said angrily. He didn't believe that only a dozen or so people had killed more than ten civilians in vain.

No one answered, and most of the anti-people kept their heads down and did not speak.

Ning Zhiyuan snorted coldly, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll kill all of you beasts,"

"Li Jun." Ning Zhiyuan shouted, "Kill their boss first." ”

Li Jun was a little surprised in his heart, but he still faithfully carried out the order.

"Wait." Just as the knife was about to fall on Cheng Chen's neck, someone in the anti-people shouted, pointing at another thief and trembling and said, "I know that I know that Wu Guo has killed many people. You don't want to kill the boss. ”

Ning Zhiyuan signaled, and Li Jun paused his movements.

"Kill him for me." Ning Zhiyuan saw that Wu Guo's face changed, he understood it in his heart, and sneered, "You can sit back and watch your boss die because of yourself, it's not a pity to die." ”

"No, don't kill me." Wu Guo's feet softened and pleaded.

Cheng Chen's face showed a hint of heartache.

With the sound of a blade, Wu Guo was already dead, Ning Zhiyuan continued, "Now who among you has killed a lot of civilians in vain, stand up and I won't kill him, if he is pointed out by others again" Saying this, Ning Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

More than two dozen people stepped forward.

"Anything else?" Half-ringing, Ning Zhiyuan asked calmly.

"Since that's the case," Ning Zhiyuan's tone changed, and a smile appeared on his face, "This son will let you go now, but." ”

"Those who have killed too many people in vain don't want it, and the officials don't dare to ask for it." Motioning to Li Jun to let go of the knife in his hand, he said, "Under this son, you must not kill a person in vain in the future, otherwise if you don't want to, you can quit, and this official is free for you to stay, but you are not allowed to do such things again." ”

Cheng Chen's heart was extremely complicated, he just wanted to rob him at first, but he didn't expect to encounter a hard idea to kill someone, and finally survived.

He doesn't dislike Ning Zhiyuan, and even admires Ning Zhiyuan a little, he admires the principle of recruiting people, which he has always wanted, but he can't do it, because he is always just a robber, and Ning Zhiyuan has not killed people indiscriminately

"My lord, didn't you say that you wouldn't kill people after surrendering, but you still killed one." Cheng Chen asked.

"My son didn't say this," Ning Zhiyuan said calmly, "What I'm saying is that if you surrender, you will be spared, but this official will not let you go." ”

Cheng Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, knelt on one knee, and said, "Cheng Chen is willing to listen to the send-in-law." ”

"I would like to hear from you." The militiamen all knelt down on one knee, and it was obvious that Cheng Chen was their backbone.

What's more, they rebelled and looted just to be fed, and now if they don't rebel, it's always good to have someone to take care of the food.

When Cheng Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, it was not a good thing that his prestige was too big, but seeing that Ning Zhiyuan did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, he was relieved again, and he admired the mind of this young prefect even more.

"Cheng Chen, I'll give you three days, you can come back when you're ready." Ning Zhiyuan said that this group of people obviously came to rob after a long journey, and there was something going on at home.

Cheng Chen nodded, a little moved in his heart.

"I'll definitely be back." Before leaving, Cheng Chen said solemnly.

Looking at Cheng Chen's distant back, Ning Zhiyuan felt that Cheng Chen should not be a gray wolf, and he could not be a sheep.

“――――――”

"Lord Yuan, are you okay?" A man dressed as a thief cut off the rope on Yuan Shao's body and asked flatteringly.

Instantly, a sense of powerlessness erupted from Yuan Tongzhi's heart.

"Who are you, I don't know you robbers." Yuan Shao shouted loudly, thinking, "I asked you to play the thief, what the hell do you mean by being so fucking hot with me." ”

Yuan Shao felt that he was not as tired as he was now after being tied up for more than an hour.
