The people really started it, gritting their teeth one by one, and when they threw stones, they wanted to stone the horse bandits to death.

It's really too deep a feud with horse bandits!

Second only to the alien race to the north.

The horse bandits were strung together by long ropes, and there was no way to run and jump to dodge.

At most, you can only bow your head and bend down.

Therefore, many horse bandits were hit and injured.

Fortunately, Jiang Long sent people to stop it in time, otherwise it wouldn't take long for people to die.

"Anyway, if these horse bandits are caught, they will also be beheaded, so let's solve our hatred first!"

"That's it, stone them to death!"

"My father died at the hands of horse bandits!"

The people were blocked, and the crowd was agitated and shouted in discontent.

Others had a deep enmity with the horse bandits, and took the time to avoid the border sergeants kicking the horse bandits with their feet.

Seeing that the scene was uncontrollable, Jiang Long had to stand up again and order to protect the horse bandits.

There were hundreds of sergeants from the border army who came to escort them, and some of them slowly walked back to the barracks behind He Huan, who was riding a mount, and now that they got the order, they immediately took action to surround the bandits in the middle and protect them.

Now the people have no chance to do it again.

Jiang Long beat the horse at this time and came out of the crowd, "Who said that these horse bandits should all be beheaded?" ”

Hearing this sentence before, many horse bandits looked frightened and restless, thinking that when they were in the bandits' den in Jieziliang before, the border army said that surrendering without killing was just an expedient measure.

Think fooled!

Jiang Long now immediately picks out and appeases.

Otherwise, once these people find that they have no way to live, and they are extremely fierce, they will definitely riot and make some trouble.

Even if there is a border army here, it can be suppressed with iron and blood.

But he also didn't want to see a river of blood flowing here.

Besides, these horse bandits were bought back by Jiang Long for money, and they are still of great use, how can they be executed for nothing?

"Weishenme doesn't kill these bastards?"

"They're damned!"

"They should all be cut down!"

Hearing Jiang Long's words, the crowd first fell silent for an instant, and then the people shouted one after another.

Jiang Long and the others shouted for a long time, and their voices became quieter, and then they said: "They are indeed guilty and deserve death, but just cutting off their heads, isn't it too cheap?" ”

At this time, it is obvious that you can't say good things for the horse bandits, otherwise it will be difficult for the people who are in the mood to calm down.

Sure enough, Jiang Long's voice landed, and the crowd quieted down.

"I made a mistake before, now I want to atone for my sins!" Jiang Long's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, "Just like those people who were arrested a few days ago, if they did something wrong, they had to repair the city walls, houses, clean the streets and filth, etc., and if necessary, they would obey the requisition of the imperial court to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

"Is this a penal atonement?"

"Yes, I can eat a full stomach every day."

"It can't be like this!"

"I thought I was going to torture them every day."

Many people were disgruntled and discussed, but no one took the lead in shouting anymore.

Jiang Long paused for a moment, and then continued: "These horse bandits are deeply sinful, naturally it is not so easy, this official wants to dig rivers outside the city to open up fields, vigorously develop agriculture, and a variety of food, so that the big guys can have a full stomach."

You say, "How about letting them dig a ditch and pull the soil every day?" ”

This is a drudgery, and the people are just quieter.

"There will be a rule on how much soil to dig every day, and whoever can't finish their work won't want to eat."

"When is it done, when is it time to eat and rest."

"When the fields are opened, the rivers will be dug again, and then these fields can be given to the big guys for free to plant, and there will be no taxes for the first three years."

"In addition to being a coolie, they also have to worry about an alien army coming at them, because they have to be tied up while working, and they have no chance to escape in case of an attack......

As Jiang Long's words came out one by one, the people were satisfied.

Not only did they work as coolies, but these horse bandits helped them open up the fields, and the fields were given away for free.

If you're unlucky, you'll be beheaded by an alien.

And the horse bandits also calmed down at this time, as long as they are not immediately beheaded, they can live, who wants to fight with the border army now?

They were all tied up, and now they resisted, and there was almost no chance of escape.

And it's just a coolie, as long as you can eat your stomach.

As for whether it will encounter an attack by an alien army, let's talk about luck when the time comes.

A few words appeased the people, Jiang Long let the team move forward again, and the people gave way one after another, and after a while, they came to prison.

The newly appointed prisoner Xiong Qi had already received the news and led two of his subordinates to stand outside the prison to greet him.

Jiang Long came, nodded at Xiong Qi, and then asked the border sergeant to help put the horse bandits in prison one by one.

The prison area is huge, and it is not a problem to keep two or three thousand people in it.

The sergeants of the border army did not have a good impression of the horse bandits, and packed the cages one by one, and only less than one-sixth of the five hundred and twenty people were imprisoned.

Jiang Long didn't say anything about this.

You can't put the bandits in, and you can't put the prisoners in again.

And it is true that you can't be too polite to these sinful horse bandits.

It's all huddled together, and at night there is a place to lie down and rest.

These people have human lives in their hands, and if they can save their heads and not cut them off, it is already a preferential treatment.

Today, along the way, the horse bandits were not fed, so that they would not go hungry, so that no one would have any trouble.

Now that it was dark, Jiang Long sent someone to boil some gruel in a cauldron to fill the stomach of the horse bandits.

The terrain has not been carefully surveyed, so we can't start work, so we don't need to feed the bandits, and then add steamed buns when we decide where to dig a ditch.

If you don't have enough to eat, it will affect the efficiency of doing things.

You can also give some rewards for your performance.

In short, you have to calm the hearts of the horse bandits first.

You can't always try to find an opportunity to escape.

With so many horse bandits imprisoned, the prison department naturally had to increase its manpower.

Jiang Long decided to recruit twenty people.

At that time, it should be enough to send the sergeant of the Yamen and the Inspection Division to assist.

Before the border sergeants left, Jiang Long asked them to help pick out all the small leaders among the horse bandits.

Although it was dusk, the border troops still said goodbye and had to rush back overnight.

Jiang Long naturally thanked the commander who led the team politely.

When I heard that I was going to recruit people, there were naturally many applicants.

Jiang Long said the conditions, he must be ruthless, and his body is strong and mighty enough, otherwise he will definitely not be able to control these horse bandits.

Many people took their own initiative and lined up in long queues.

Jiang Long personally sat here, responsible for recruitment, and gathered all the people in front of the prison gate.

"If you want to be admitted, you must first have the courage to kill!" Jiang Long's voice was indifferent.

None of the strong men in the queue retreated, thinking that it was just a matter of killing someone, and it was no big deal.

At this time, Jiang Long beckoned, and Tudu personally dragged a small leader of a horse bandit over and made him kneel in front of people.

The little leader of the horse bandits looked frightened at this time, knowing that his life was afraid that it would be difficult to protect.

I can't help but regret that Weishenme didn't resist before.

The big leaders were all killed in the battle, because the big leaders knew very well that their heads were worth more than they could not escape death.

As for the officials and generals who have colluded with them, they will definitely not spend any effort to save them.

Instead, they will find a way to kill them at the first time.

And the reason why Jiang Long got rid of these small leaders was to make the bandits leaderless.

If no one takes the lead, the chances of the bandits making trouble will be much smaller.

Jiang Long had already planned this.

The man in first line was burly and had thick knuckles, and he picked up the waist knife thrown by Tudu from the ground and slowly walked towards the little leader.

The little leader trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Blood oozed from the door of the brain, and a lot of snot and tears were pasted together.

Many people couldn't help but feel sick when they looked at the little boss now, because all the mixed objects flowed into the little boss's mouth.

But the burly man holding the knife was nervous at this time, and his big hand holding the waist knife couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After taking a few steps closer, a layer of hot sweat oozed from even the door of his head.

Is it really that simple to kill someone?

Obviously, no!

A person with a good heart can't do it at all.

It's not just a random person who dares to kill.

The man's heart beat faster, and he muttered in his mouth, if he cut it down, he would have something to do, and he would have money to support his family in the future.

But the little leader's wails and begs for mercy were mixed with the fear of death, and they kept coming to his ears.

Let his heart flutter.

This is a human life, and if you go down with a knife, you will be in a different place.

Involuntarily, the man imagined the scene of blood splashing when the big knife was swung down.

Approaching the little leader, the man raised his sword high.

The blade reflects the setting sun obliquely, emitting a light red ray.

"Please, don't kill me! I kowtowed......"

Everyone thought that the waist knife would be cut down, and it would be a scene where the head of the little boss fell to the ground, but with a bang, they saw that the man let go and threw away the waist knife in his hand, turned around and ran away without looking back.

"I can't do it!" Jiang Long knew that even if this man killed the little leader, he would leave a deep psychological shadow.

"I can!"

The man in second place was short and sharp, and suddenly rushed forward to pick up the waist knife.

In a flash of the knife, a column of blood erupted from the neck of the little leader, splashing the short man's face.

The little boss didn't react at all, thinking that the first man had run away and escaped, but he didn't think that the second man would rush up and do it, and he didn't give him a chance to beg for mercy at all.

Similarly, most of the onlookers were a little stunned, and the speed of the second man's shot was too fast.

Except for Gangtibak, Tudu, Qin Yu, and several Jingfu guards who had to protect Jianglong at all times, they all saw the picture of the little leader's head falling to the ground in a trance.

The short man raised his hand at this time and wiped his face, the corners of his mouth provoked a smile of satisfaction, and said to himself: "It turns out that this is what it feels like to kill people with a knife." ”

In my mind, the picture of my biological brother being killed by horse bandits came to mind.

Big brother, brother has avenged you!

Is it hard to kill?

There is hatred, like slaughtering a chicken!

People are different, and the results of doing things are naturally different.

Seeing this scene of spurting blood, some people looked excited and excited.

There are many more who quietly retreat and leave.

In every battle, the local government would recruit people to participate in the defense of the city, obviously with an advantage in numbers, but many times they ended up losing.
