Knowing that they have been doing well recently and are basically safe, Xu Qingyan nodded with satisfaction, and asked Zelan's father to call everyone to the barn, she has something to say.

The sun was like fire, the scorching sun was in the sky, Jiang He and a group of thieves stood in the grain drying field, drowsy.

What the hell was the ancestor going to do, he said that he had something to say, but they didn't see her come after standing here for half an hour.

In the flower hall, Wu Tianyou looked at someone who was drinking tea with a leisurely face on the other side, and asked, "Are you going to hang them like this all the time?" “

"No, no." Xu Qingyan put down her tea arms and looked at the sky: "It's almost, let's go, let's go and meet them." After saying that, he got up and walked out of the flower hall.

.........

"What do you say the county lord is going to do, he called us here to stand here for a long time, and I didn't see anyone."

"Who knows, hey, you say, it won't be that we stole trowels in the middle of the night, and she found out." A short man.

"No, for the sake of the two trowels, you called us here to stand for a long time, and besides, everyone slept that night, and no one found out at all."

Xu Qingyan didn't expect to hear this kind of inside information.

Based on the criminal records of Jiang He and others, she was not at ease when she first placed them in Zhuangzi, and from time to time she would open remote monitoring, secretly monitor, and if she encountered them as traitors, she would use coercion on the spot to suppress them, so that they could not breathe, and then rush over the next day to teach them a good lesson.

Jiang and them don't know the inside story, but when Xu Qingyan sends people to monitor the surroundings at all times, it is a lot of Ansheng, but now it seems that there are some minor problems, and they still haven't changed.

"Shhhh

Seeing Xu Qingyan coming, everyone who was originally lazy and lazy immediately stood up straight.

Xu Qingyan walked with the wind, and after a while, she walked in front of everyone, she cleared her throat, and said: "I asked the head of the village just now, and he said that you have been doing well recently, and the county lord is very happy, so he plans to fulfill his promise and give you a reward." ”

"Ah, send a reward, what reward?" As soon as they heard the reward, the mountain bandits suddenly came to their senses.

"Isn't the county lord going to give a reward?" Someone speculated.

"It would be great if that was the case, but I don't know how much the county lord plans to send, a hundred wen, or two hundred?"

Everyone was talking, the scene was very noisy for a while, Xu Qingyan raised her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

She said with a straight face: "The reward will be announced later, for now, I will ask you a few questions first, and you must answer them truthfully." “

"Okay, you ask, you ask."

There was a reward in front of them, and the mountain bandits suddenly became extremely obedient.

"What I want to ask is, are you satisfied with the current life, do you think the current life is better, or the old days are better?"

This one......

Hearing this, all the mountain bandits were silent, because they had never thought about this issue and had not compared it.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Qingyan pointed to a tall man and said, "Lu Da, what do you say?" ”

Lu Da scratched his head and said with a red face: "To be honest, it was not suitable at first, after all, we were used to freedom in the mountains, and when we first came here, we were assigned work every day, and we had to be managed, and we felt very restrained and unfree, but after a long time, I found that this kind of life is actually not bad, after all, we don't have to worry about food and housing, and we don't have to worry about it, for fear that the government will come to the door one day." “

"Hmm." Xu Qingyan nodded, and nodded again: "What about you, what about you?" ”

That person often mixes with Lu Da, and his thoughts are similar to him, after all, there is food and drink, and he does not worry about food and clothing, and in today's world, he is already stronger than many people, you know, there are still many good people who can't eat enough.

Without the persecution of livelihood, who is really willing to occupy the mountain as the king and live a life of fear all day long.

At the beginning of the two of them, most of the people in the back expressed their satisfaction with their current lives.

There are those who are satisfied, and there are naturally those who are not satisfied, led by Jiang He, about 20 or so people did not express their position, that is, they did not say good, nor did they say bad, they were silent and did not say a word.

How could Xu Qingyan allow them to avoid questioning, and directly named Jiang He: "You don't speak, do you think that your current life is not good, and you want to be a mountain bandit again?" ”

Jiang He dared to tell the truth, and said in a rough manner: "The current life is stable, but it is too stable, and there is no fun at all." ”

"Fun, you mean the fun of robbing passers-by?" Xu Qingyan's tone began to turn cold.

Jiang He knew her methods, and when he heard this, he shook his head in horror: "It's not, I just feel that my current life is a little boring and a little restrained." “

"Then what do you think is not inhibited and interesting?"

"Of course, there is a salary, a monthly vacation, and you can go out of the Zhuangzi to hang out, that kind of life is called hopeful, like now, staying in the Zhuangzi all day long is only allowed to bury your head in work, not allowed to go out, not allowed to wander, just take care of food and clothing, just like a prisoner in prison." Jiang He didn't dare to reply loudly, he lowered his head and muttered quietly.

"In prison? Do you think you're going to jail right now?" Xu Qingyan's face turned cold: "Let me tell you, if I hadn't let you go and didn't report to the official, you wouldn't have known which bitter cold place you were exiled to at this moment, and you would have dared to tell me about prison." “

Xu Qingyan said to those silent people: "You all have the same idea as him, okay, today I will let you know what it means to be in real prison, Zelan, go to the newspaper, just say that we have bandits breaking in, let them come and get people." ”

"Yes, miss." Zeeland hurriedly responded, and was about to leave.

Jiang He and the others were frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The county lord spares his life, I can't speak, life here is very good, I am very content, I am very content." ”

"We are content, and we are content." The people from Jiang He's faction hurriedly agreed.

Xu Qingyan took a deep breath and said, "Zelan, come back." ”

Zelan didn't go far, and when he heard this, he hurriedly ran back to Xu Qingyan's side.

"Don't you think I'm in jail now?" Xu Qingyan glanced at everyone and asked.

"No, no, no, it's just a fairyland, a fairyland." Everyone was busy.

Xu Qingyan sneered, "Since you think this is a fairyland, you are willing to stay, since this is the case, then sign the deed of sale." “

Pointing with his hand back, Lingxian hurriedly came over with a stack of deeds of sale, the deeds of sale are all dead deeds, and the content is also the same, that is, the place to fill in the name and press the handprint is empty, so that it can be filled in later.

Hearing that they were going to sign the deed of sale, everyone didn't react much.

In their hearts, like this, they are locked up by Xu Qingyan every day to work in the Zhuangzi, and they are not allowed to come and go at will, and there are people who monitor them, which is no different from the slaves who sign the deed of sale, so there is not much difference between signing the deed of sale and not.

Moreover, even if they don't care, they don't dare to say it, just now Boss Jiang just made some suggestions, Xu Qingyan shouted to report to the official, send them to prison, exile, if she said that she didn't want to sign, she might have to do something.

A group of sixty-seven mountain bandits, all of whom happily signed the deed of sale.
