As soon as Pang Gang turned around, he saw an old man in shabby clothes and gray hair behind him who was being stopped by two personal soldiers, and he was trying to squeeze forward, shouting loudly.

"You let me pass, I will receive the silver, if you delay you can't afford to eat!"

The old man was still not convinced after being stopped by two pro-soldiers, and he had to squeeze forward, but these two pro-soldiers were duty, but there were huge people in front, and they couldn't afford to afford anything wrong, so they desperately blocked it, and a pro-soldier surnamed Zijian had already aimed his Minnie rifle at him, and the bright bayonet on the rifle was about to reach the old man's chest.

Pang Gang glanced at Shi Bowen, who walked over knowingly, stopped the actions of the two pro-soldiers, and said to the old man: "Old man, you said that you are here to receive the silver, right?" ”

The old man stiffened his neck and said, "Yes, I am here to receive a reward of silver, didn't you say that if you denounce a thief, the reward will be ten taels of silver, two will be twenty taels, and if the thief is the head of the thief, it will be one hundred taels?" I'm here to receive the silver today, old man! ”

At this time, Pang Gang on the side was also interested, walked up to the old man and asked with interest: "Old man, your old surname, are there really thieves there?" ”

The old man said quite stiffly: "The old man's surname is not expensive, his surname is Jiang, as for the thieves, there are naturally them, otherwise what am I doing here, old man?" ”

Pang Gang's eyes rolled, but he asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid that we will pay our debts?" ”

"Debts?" The old man laughed miserably: "Of course I'm afraid, but I still have something to be afraid of, old man." The old man's only son has been captured by the thieves and confiscated into the army, leaving only our old couple, as well as the daughter-in-law and the only one little grandson, and now our family's rations have all been robbed by the thieves, seeing that the whole family is about to starve to death, is it a death anyway, you say the old man, what else do I have to fear? ”

"Yes! Why are the people not afraid of death? ”

Looking at the old man shivering in the cold wind with only thin clothes on his face, Li Yuan, Wang Zhi and other generals around Pang Gang couldn't help but show a sad look in their eyes, once upon a time, how similar their situation was to this unknown old man.

Pang Gang sighed, turned his head to Shi Bowen behind him, and said: "Take a bag of dry food to this old man, and by the way, lead a group of brothers to follow him to his house to have a look, if there are really thieves hiding, they will be escorted back, if there is resistance, it will be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Bowen answered, and led a hundred guards to follow the old man surnamed Jiang to his house.

Seeing the figure of the old man surnamed Jiang and a group of guards gradually moving away, Pang Gang and the others also walked into the prefect's yamen.

Walking and walking, Li Yuan on the side walked silently for a while and suddenly asked: "My lord, sometimes I really don't understand the lowly position, you said that when those thieves raised troops, they all kept saying that it was because of the oppression of the government, the rampant corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people's livelihood, so they revolted, but the last general found that those thieves who kept saying that they revolted for their lives were more than those corrupt officials, at least the government couldn't do such a heartbreaking thing as slaughtering the village." Those people are their sisters, how can they do such a thing! ”

Pang Gang shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about this question for a long time, but I have never been able to get an accurate answer. Maybe this is the surname of our human beings, people, this thing, is the easiest to change, didn't our ancestors say, from thrift to luxury is easy to go from luxury to thrift is difficult to thrift, you think, it turns out that a mud leg who can't even eat enough to eat, suddenly became a person who eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and is in front of the groom every night, after a while, you let him sit back on the mud leg that does not cover his body and does not eat enough, do you think he will be willing? Naturally, you are unwilling, but if you are unwilling, it means that you have to deprive others of the living materials and fruits of labor, which becomes what you just said"

Speaking of which, Pang just found that he accidentally missed the most, and even talked to Li Yuan about the words of survival materials and labor fruits that are not available in this era.

Shaking his head and laughing, Pang Gang stepped into the lobby and found that there were two rows of military standing outside the lobby, and there were dozens of women standing in the lobby, some of them were standing, some were sitting on the ground, and they all looked at Pang Gang and his party who walked in from outside in fear. Although they learned from the sergeants guarding them that De'an Mansion had been recaptured by the officers and soldiers, this did not alleviate the panic in their hearts, after all, the old saying that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates can be passed down for thousands of years, and there is always a truth to it.

Looking at the frightened eyes of the women, Pang Gang sighed lightly in his heart, and said to the women: "Don't be afraid, this official led the crowd to recover De'an City this time, since he rescued you, he will naturally protect you, and after a while, the official will send you and others to entangle, and after receiving it, they will go home." ”

"What? Let us go home."

The women in the hall looked at each other one by one, some couldn't believe their ears, these officers and soldiers didn't take the opportunity to bully themselves, and kindly sent a plate to let themselves go home, there are still such good soldiers and horses in this world?

Seeing the stunned appearance of all the women, Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little angry, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, this is the emperor's own champion Hou, the general of Shandong, the general of the hussars and the commander of Qingzhou, will you still deceive you and wait?" ”

The women looked at each other for a while, and finally a beautiful woman walked out, and asked Pang Gang in a daze: "Dare to ask General Pang, have you caught the head of the thieves?" ”

Pang Gang nodded: "Now only the thief leader Liu Fangliang has been caught, and the rest are still being hunted!" ”

The woman stared at Pang Gang stunned and asked, "Dare to ask what the adults plan to do with Liu Fangliang?" ”

"Bold!" The soldiers behind Pang Gang shouted: "How to deal with the thief is an adult's business, when will it be your turn to be a woman and a woman!" ”

"Eh, don't be rude." Pang Gang stopped the personal soldiers who wanted to stop the woman, stepped forward and said kindly: "It's okay for the official to tell you, then Liu Fangliang has done a lot of evil, and the official will immediately say that he will be punished." ”

"So the little woman is relieved." The delicate woman knelt down at Pang Gang and wept: "The little woman thanked the adults for her great kindness for her deceased father. ”

"Miss doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." Pang Gang saw that this woman was talking extraordinary, and her demeanor was also very elegant and dignified, very different from the women around her, knowing that this woman's background must be either rich or expensive, and he was about to help her up, but he didn't expect this woman to still stand up by herself, and said to Pang Gang with a hint of determination on her beautiful face:

"The little girl's father and mother have been killed by Liu Fangliang, the thief, and the blue and white body has also been defiled, and the little woman can only repay the kindness of the adult in the next life."

After saying that, the woman rushed towards a stone pillar beside her with a fierce lunge.

"Oh no, stop her!"

Pang Gang knew that it was not good when he saw the woman's movements, and hurriedly rushed over to stop her, but it was already a step too late, and the woman's head had already hit the pillar with a "bang", and the blood splashed out instantly, and the whole person fell straight to the ground with a heavy sound.

When Pang Gang rushed to her and helped her up, the woman was already dying, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at Pang Gang and smiled sadly: "My lord, the little woman's innocent body has been lost, the reason why these people left this broken flower and willow body is to see how Liu Fangliang, the thief, died, and now that the general has captured him, and personally promised the little woman to correct the law, the little woman can rest assured that she will reunite with her father and mother under Jiuquan." Father..... Mother...... My daughter is looking for you......"

After speaking, the woman slowly closed her eyes...... Holding the delicate body that was gradually getting cold in his arms, Pang Gang only felt a depressed breath in his chest that could not be dissolved.

Liu Fangliang ........ You bastard...... Bastard! The hall was filled with Li Yuan's angry roar.

At this time, the women in the hall also cried around the woman in Pang Gang's arms.

Pang Gang asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that this woman is a woman from the family, and she is so strong." ”

A young woman with an ordinary appearance sobbed and said: "The little woman knows a little bit about it, this sister is named Bu Huiliu, she is the daughter of the former De'an Bu Governor, after the thieves captured De'an City, the Bu Governor and his wife were killed by Liu Fangliang, but Sister Bu was defiled by Liu Fangliang, Sister Bu often told us that she survived to watch Liu Fangliang, the thief, receive retribution, and now with the general's guarantee, Sister Bu is ...... That's why she committed suicide and followed her father........"

Speaking of this, the young woman and the women around her were all crying, and Pang Gang was also miserable in his heart, he could see that these women in the hall had all been defiled by Liu Fangliang and others, but they did not choose to commit suicide like Miss Nabu.

"Giggle......

At this time, there was a sound of teeth hitting in the hall, and it turned out to be Li Yuan's teeth that were already blue with anger.

"My lord, the last general really can't help it, and the last general will immediately go and break that Liu Fangliang into pieces!"

After speaking, Li Yuan immediately turned his head and was about to walk out, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Shi Bowen led a group of personal soldiers in, and among them were three people dressed as ordinary people.

But Pang Gang just glanced at them and knew that these three people were by no means ordinary people, for no other reason, because the murderous look on their faces was too strong, and they would not have such a strong murderous aura without dozens of lives on their hands.
