At this moment, the sky is still cloudy, and it is still early before dawn. Looking from the big boat, I saw Lin Tao standing on the river beach with his hands behind his back. He first ordered a few bandits to climb the river embankment and walked away, and then began to discipline the bandits in a majestic manner, and the bandits and bandits knelt on the ground, listening to his lecture.

The boatmen pointed their guns at the bandits underground. Lin Tao's speeches were endless, and on the big boat here, the maid poured water out of the bamboo tube, and Long Ji washed it clean. Lao Zhou asked the boatman to move a wooden chair from the wheelhouse, and Long Ji'an sat on the chair. It's all ready, and then look at the river beach, Lin Tao is still training the bandits.

Finally, the little bandits who had gone earlier used their cars to pull a few small carts of firewood. The small bandits laid out the firewood, and then the boatmen carried the bodies of the martyrs to the firewood pile. Lin Tao ordered all the bandits to line up, and Lao Zhou lit the firewood with his own hands. The fire was raging, Lin Tao and the boatmen raised their guns to shoot into the sky together, and saw off their comrades with the sound of gunfire!

The funeral customs of the Long Dai tribe are generally over when the crematorium is lit.

After a while, Lin Tao, Lao Zhou and the boatmen first patted each other clean, and then proudly escorted an obese man with a pig's head and a pig's brain and a middle-aged man with a thief's eyebrows and a thin middle-aged man back to the big ship together. The two men knelt down on the board of the ship, facing the majestic leader of Longji, and kept kowtowing with trembling as if pounding garlic.

Lin Tao lit a cigarette and began the interrogation. He was going to show his little Suji a little hand, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to make any effort, the two of them poured beans into the bamboo tube, and they did all the tricks.

He didn't expect it to be so boring, he had the feeling of punching the cotton, and scolded angrily, "A pair of cowards, a rabble, embarrassing, all shot!" ”

As soon as the two bandit leaders heard that they were going to be shot, they all kowtowed frantically, and the small one of them kept begging for mercy.

This fat bandit leader is called Banghu, a Miao ethnic group who once worked in Wang Bao's special forces. After the independence of Lancang, he fled from the north to the center, led a few people on the banks of the Mekong River, and used a village not far from the river as a stronghold, often robbing merchant ships at night, and the local farmers continued to join, and his men slowly gathered nearly 200 people.

The Annam garrison came many times to clear the area, and they all took refuge in the mountains or crossed the river to avoid the limelight. As soon as the Annan army left, they came back and continued to do the work of killing people and stealing goods.

The thin bandit leader is the soul and military advisor of this bandit team. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao felt that this was by no means a good thing from the sinister little triangle eyes of the military advisor, and there was "content" in their eyes, and they couldn't keep it.

This time, when they found out that the Siamese Army wanted to rob the cargo of the Longji fleet, the military advisor became ill-intentioned and suggested that Banghu Fishermen take advantage. But the military division missed the calculation, they didn't expect that they wanted to be fishermen, but they were suppressed in the reeds by two guns, and they couldn't raise their heads to attack, let alone escape. More than a dozen people tried to escape to the embankment, but they were all wounded or killed by rifles.

The most important thing is that this military advisor is really not a mortal. While pleading, he also brought out the Annamites to strengthen his courage, and half-yin and half-yin "begged" the fleet to let them go. It turned out that he was a local official in the era of Wang Bao's "special forces". After the fall of Wang Bao, the Annan people controlled Lancang, and he had a private "friendship" with the Annan people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Annan's army to open up and let them do whatever they want.

The situation had been clarified, Lin Tao first drove Mei Xue, Su Ji and the two little maids into the cabin and closed the hatch. Then he muttered a few words in Long Ji's ear, Long Ji was stunned for a moment, but he still acted as a "judge" and announced the "verdict":

"You were all born in Lancang, but for the sake of the Lancang land, hurting the poor people, it can be described as a heinous crime, and not killing is not enough for the common people to complain about the people. The military advisor is resourceful and the one who comes up with ideas, if you can come up with good ideas, this team will not be so unbearable and inferior. Strategist, your crime is unforgivable, you should be sentenced to death, and it will be executed immediately! ”

"Great Chief, spare your life, I'm useful to you!" As soon as Long Ji's words fell, the military advisor begged frantically, but suddenly became incontinent, and the stench on the deck was disgusting.

"Coward, you're afraid of death and you're still out to mess around?!" Lin Tao covered his nose, shouted angrily, and waved his hand, and two boatmen walked up, holding guns and preparing to shoot. Lin Tao said, "Cut, save bullets, let him jump into the river and save more trouble!" "The boatman was ordered, with a gun on his back, and one of them holding one arm of the sergeant. The military advisor howled and cried, begging for mercy.

Lin Tao was annoyed, he signaled, and the boatmen let go of their hands. The military advisor thought that he had spared him, so he tried his best to kowtow, and the plank of the ship was hit with a "boom". Lin Tao said narrowly, "Strategist, please raise your head!" ”

The military advisor raised his head, which was already swollen into a hill, and Lin Tao said again, "Anyone who can be a military advisor is more or less a scholar and resourceful. What kind of system do you cry and cry? Where is the face of the reader? Where is the temperament? ”

The military advisor lowered his head and said nothing. Yu Songyuan finally couldn't hold back his laughter, dog, you have sentenced others to death, and you want others to talk about face and integrity, what kind of bullshit is this.

Lin Tao said again, "People are inherently dead, you are not a man at all, cry a fart!" The Great Leader sentenced you to death, which is a great mercy. This will be punished in ancient times, according to your sins. The verdict has been announced, can you turn back if you cry? Give you a choice, or send you back to the Lancang government, and after a public trial, be hanged in front of thousands of people and your family. Or, you jump into the river by yourself, and you're done! ”

Lin Tao spoke in Chinese, and Lao Yiyi translated it into Lancang. When the military advisor heard this, he burst into tears again, and he stretched out his head to look at the river outside the side of the boat. Under the water weeds, a few predators were waiting for the meal to start, and he was so frightened that he began to cry again. Raising his teary eyes again, he looked around the people on the boat, and the great leader and everyone looked at him with disdain, which was really boring.

So, he gritted his teeth, held his head with both hands, rolled off the side of the boat, and fell into the river with a "thud". The river quickly sounded with a fierce splashing sound, and in the wail, the military division was quickly dragged under the water by the crocodile, and the river suddenly became quiet.

When the bandits on the bank of the river saw that the military division jumped directly into the river to feed the crocodiles, they all looked at the big boat in the middle of the river in horror, not knowing what punishment the leader would suffer in a while. They wanted to scatter the birds and beasts, but they didn't dare, and the killing gods on the ship had accurate guns and cannons, so they had to kneel honestly.

This trial scared Banghu half to death. He knew that it was his turn, and he trembled, but he still had a little backbone, and he endured it and didn't beg for mercy. But the kneeling plank was a big mess. It turned out that the dog's urine was scared out, and he didn't know what to do.

Next, Long Ji put on a show, reprimanded Banghu, and said that he would spare his dog's life. The premise is to be loyal to the Long Dai tribe, otherwise, if you dare to be a bandit again, the next time you catch him, you will definitely break his body into pieces! Bang Hu tried his best to kowtow, knocked the plank of the ship loudly, and repeatedly swore that he would be loyal to the leader of the Longji tribe of the Longdai tribe from now on.

After Long Ji finished speaking, Lin Tao said, "Boy, you should also die." The great leader of Longji is extrajudicial and gracious, spare you from death. But you can't just leave it at that, you can be spared. You have done a lot of evil, and there are dozens of lives on your hands. You said that you would obey the orders of the dragon leader, but you don't know what to think in your heart, so how can we believe you? ”

Bang Hu was stunned when he heard this, and he slammed his head on the plank, and there was a loud bang. "Bang Hu beat the Annan monkey in the 'special forces', and he has long taken life and death lightly. It's just that I'm dead, and these people under me will definitely bring disaster to the villagers. So, please spare your life, the dragon boss! As long as the small one can do it, it will be done. From now on, the big leader of Weilong will obey the order. If there is a disobedience, it will be the same as the military division, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

"Prostrations don't work, and swearing doesn't work!" Lin Tao lit a cigarette and was unmoved. Yu Songyuan twisted his head in the other direction and let Lin Tao deal with the water bandits. Lin Tao also said, "You Mekong bandits are a group of people with no conscience and no credit, you have to leave something behind to have a long memory!" ”

Lao Zhou acted as an interpreter, and Long Ji and the boatmen began to be frightened when they heard Lin Tao say that they wanted to leave something behind.

Bang Hu understands that if he wants to survive today and leave nothing behind, he will definitely not be able to pass the test. He gritted his teeth and drew his dagger, grabbed the fat ear on his left with his left hand, and was about to swing it down with his right hand. When Long Ji, Lao Zhou, and the boatmen saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly turned their heads or closed their eyes tightly......

"Wait!"

Just as Bang Hu gritted his teeth and was about to wave his right hand down, with a coquettish shout, Mei Xue and Su Ji pushed open the hatch and walked out of the cabin.

"Put the knife down!" Mei Xue said, still covering her nose with her little hands.

Bang Hu raised his eyes and looked at it, then lowered his head tightly and threw away the knife.

"The Long Dai tribe is one of the largest tribes in Lancang, and catching you as a little river bandit is like pinching an ant to death! Today, the Grand Leader of Longji gives you a way out! From now on, if you can't reform and heed the call of the great leader of Longji, you will surely die next time you are caught! I'm in charge, you go back! ”

From Mei Xue's tone and age, Bang Hu knew that this must be the princess of the tribe. He was grateful to Mei Xue, and kowtowed frequently, the ship's board "knocked" and "knocked" loudly, and said in his mouth, "Xie Lu, Princess Xie, help!" From now on, Banghu will return to the Longdai tribe and be a new man. If there is a disobedience, let the Naga or the crocodile eat the Banghu! ”

"In the future, your village will be named after you, and it will be called Banghuliao, and you will be the leader. Our tribe provides you with the necessary necessities, but you must learn to grow rice and feed yourselves. Twice a year, the situation of the village should be reported to the chief and part of the rice should be tributed. Get out! ”

Although Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao could not fully understand the Lancang language, they were both shocked after Lao Zhou's simultaneous translation. This usually delicate little girl seems to have seen the world, dealing with tribal affairs, and is orderly and orderly. Perhaps influenced by her sister Yingya, she is also very assertive and likes to make her own opinions.

After Bang Hu rowed away, the boatmen hurriedly got water from the river and washed the deck clean.
