Steward Ma trembled and replied: "I, I, I was forced to say this because I was helpless, and I didn't mean to offend the general!

Ling Yi didn't dwell on these questions, but continued to ask: "Judging by your appearance, you often bully weak people, don't explain to me here, let me ask you first, why do these bandits chase and kill you?"

The steward replied hesitantly: "This time I was entrusted by the Chamber of Commerce to transport the goods to the Northern Wilderness, passing through this side, I was taken by the bandits, and they still refused to forgive after paying the tolls, not only robbing the materials, but also killing all our people, so please ask the general to exterminate this group of bandits, and the Ma family will be grateful in the future!"

Ling Yi naturally didn't believe the words of this Ma steward, and he was puzzled, and asked, "The goods you transported from Yongmao and the Chamber of Commerce, and the goods from the Ma family?"

The words of the horse steward contradict each other, they are obviously wearing the clothes of Yongmao and the Chamber of Commerce, and they are sending the goods of Yongmao and the Chamber of Commerce, but they keep saying that the Ma family must be grateful, he is a good person of the Ma family, but since it is for Yongmao and delivery, then it is also Yongmao and thanks, and it has nothing to do with his Ma family, with the identity of this horse steward, it is not worth the attention of the Ma family at all!

Steward Ma knew that there was a problem with his words, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't get dazed by the bandits, yes, I am transporting materials for Yongmao and the Chamber of Commerce, as long as the general saves me, I will report to the Chamber of Commerce in the next decision, thank the general, as long as the general speaks, it doesn't matter how much gold and silver!"

Ma Steward is also a good person, just said the wrong thing, immediately changed his words, and threw out a lot of interest temptation, ordinary army salaries are limited, whether it is a soldier or a general, there is not much oil and water, as long as the money is in place, a lot of things can be done!

Others may be easy to fool, but Ling Yi and the people of the riffraff are not easy to fool.

I heard Ling Yi continue to ask: "Are you sure what you said is true? I'll give you another chance, tell me, why are you being hunted down, you must know that bandits rarely kill them all, and if you don't tell the truth, you don't have to speak!"

Steward Ma was still the same set of rhetoric, and he didn't mean to change his words at all, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Yi: "Zhang Cheng, go and ask the bandit leader to come over and talk!"

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng took the order.

This frightened the horse steward speechless, and hurriedly explained: "General, you, you can't believe the words of the bandits, they are all liars!"

"I said, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to speak!" I saw Ling Yi snatch the halberd of the ruffian soldiers next to him, and a spur pointed directly at the neck of the horse steward, so that he didn't dare to speak, as long as he spoke, Ling Yi really could stab him to death with the halberd!

After a while, Zhang Cheng rode a horse and led a burly man over, only to see the man turn over and dismount, salute Ling Yi, and say, "Huang Akun has seen the general, I don't know what the general commands?"

Ling Yi looked at the man, pointed to the horse steward and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Huang Akun replied: "Yongmaohe's horse steward has done all kinds of evil, and he has raped and killed a lot of women!"

The steward was secretly angry, and was about to speak, but he felt the stinging pain in his neck and did not dare to speak.

"Oh, then tell me, why are you chasing and killing the horse steward?" Ling Yi continued to ask.

The man was not ready to answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Can the general promise me one thing, otherwise I won't speak!"

Ling Yi asked strangely: "What's the matter, let's hear about it!"

The man knelt on one knee and said to Ling Yi: "I just hope that the general will listen to it and let go of my brothers, this is all my idea alone, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it!"

"What do you mean by that?" Ling Yi asked.

The man replied: "Look at the general, you know that you are from the family, there are some things that the family in Youzhou is silent and dare not touch, if the general does not agree to let my brother go today, I will never speak!"

Ling Yi was secretly shocked in his heart, it seems that he has come into contact with the inside story of some Youzhou family today, and he doesn't know what kind of secret is hidden in this horse steward?

Ling Yi knew that these bandits who had lived on the knife edge were the most righteous and hard-mouthed people, so he didn't embarrass him, and said, "I can promise to let them go if they don't do anything." ”

"Okay, then thank you General!" Huang Akun clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and began to say: "At noon today, we passed through Guan Kou Village, and a brother wanted to go home to have a look, so I gave him half an hour, but when the time came, he did not come back. We couldn't rest assured, and when we got down the hills, we walked towards Guankou Village, but near the mouth of the village, we smelled the smell of blood. ”

Thinking of Huang Akun's previous evaluation of Ma Steward, Ling Yi knew that something must have happened in the village.

Huang Akun continued: "We crept into the village and saw a hellish village, where corpses were everywhere, both old and young, women and children were lying in pools of blood. Just when we were shocked, the voice of distress came from the ancestral hall in the village, and we slowly touched the prize, and when we got there, the ancestral hall was guarded by many warriors, and we couldn't enter the front, and the two sides confronted each other there. ”

"Women's screams and cries for help continued to be heard in the ancestral hall, and we began to attack the warriors guarding the ancestral hall, and there were countless casualties on both sides. ”

"Just when we were in the middle of the fight, this damn steward came out of the ancestral hall in rags, and then ordered to kill us with all his might!"

Speaking of which, Huang Akun was emotional, if it weren't for Lingyi again, maybe he would have killed people a long time ago!

Not only Huang Akun, but even the ruffians next to him were extremely angry, they were all from poor backgrounds, and they hated these bullying family demons the most.

"After the steward Ma walked out of the ancestral hall, many people came out of the ancestral hall in rags and participated in the battle, and in the end, our side lost more than a hundred brothers, and finally besieged the steward and others in front of the ancestral hall!"

"There are still many women and children in the ancestral hall, we don't dare to act rashly, and the horse steward just saw that we didn't dare to act rashly, and actually threatened us with the women in the ancestral hall. ”

"Most of the women in Guan Kou Village are chaste, and they have committed suicide in the ancestral hall after being insulted, and the horse steward saw that the hostages took the initiative to commit suicide, so he set a fire to the ancestral hall, ready to kill the remaining women, we saw that the situation was not good, and we could only put out the fire, so we let the horse steward escape!"

"I don't know how many women in the ancestral hall died at the hands of this executioner, we can't save the fire, so we can only chase the fleeing horse steward, and we have been chasing here!"

Ling Yi didn't expect that this horse steward was so ruthless, in the eyes of the common people, he was a heinous demon!

Ling Yi added a little strength to the halberd in his hand, and saw a wisp of blood flowing down the neck of the horse steward.

Steward Ma knelt on the ground in horror and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, this is not what I did, he lied to you, I was chased and killed by them in order to save the villagers, you can't just listen to his words!"

Although Ling Yi said that he would not let himself speak, if he didn't speak, he would have no hope!

Ling Yi's spiritual power was turned on, and he naturally knew who said it was true and who said it was false, but this horse steward blamed the whole thing on these bandits, which made Ling Yi very unhappy, and said: "You have committed a heinous crime, and you are still confused, if you really don't see the coffin and don't cry, I'll let you experience the pleasure of being killed!"

Lingyi retreated with a halberd, preparing to solve this demon with a halberd, he was not prepared to give him a way to live!

Steward Ma panicked instantly, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "General, for the sake of the Ma family and the eldest lady's face, just let me go, please let me go, I know it's wrong, you hand me over to the government, and I'll let it be disposed of!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you're going to die today!" Lingyi's halberd attack was not something that Ma Steward could resist at all.

Before the halberd arrived, the horse pipe was scared out of urine in advance, and the stench hit in an instant!

Ling Yi frowned, and had no intention of keeping his hand, but was stopped by Huang Akun in time: "General, slow down, there is still something important to tell you next, leave him alive first!"

Ling Yi stopped the halberd on the neck of the steward and asked Huang Akun suspiciously: "What do you mean? You chase him, don't you just want to kill him? Why are you pleading with him now?"

Huang Akun suddenly knelt down: "Please General must fulfill his previous promise!"

Ling Yi wondered: "Why did you say this again, didn't I agree?"

Huang Akun said solemnly: "The next thing to talk about is the most important thing, and I hope that the general will keep it a secret for me and let us live!"

"Where does this start, I have already said that I will not embarrass your brother, what secrets do you have!" Ling Yi said to Huang Akun.

Huang Akun looked around and said, "This matter is very important, and I hope that the general will not be surprised, and the news cannot be leaked now!"

Huang Akun's meaning is very clear, if he wants to say it, he will only tell Ling Yi alone, there are people here, not only Ling Yi's army, but also Yongmao and his subordinates waiting for Ma Steward, as long as they don't pay attention to it, the news leaks out, and Huang Akun and his brothers are doomed to be wiped out!

Ling Yi saw Huang Akun's scruples and asked, "Did these subordinates of Steward Ma also rape and kill those women and slaughter all the villagers of Guan Kou Village?"

As soon as Ling Yi spoke, he scared all the members of Yongmaohe out of their minds, and the general began to settle accounts!

"Please forgive us, General!" all Yongmao and the personnel knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Huang Akun nodded and said, "Here, one counts as one, and none of them are wronged!"

"That's good!" Ling Yi nodded and said to Zhang Cheng: "Let's train the recruits today, and don't be frightened by blood when you go to the battlefield in the future, cut them all!"

The recruits face these demons, there is no mercy, they are all gearing up, using these people to practice killing, they don't have a little psychological burden, but the enemies are a little few, not enough to distribute, many people can only watch the excitement!

"Please let the general let us go!"

"Ask the general for mercy!"

"Ask the general for forgiveness!"

..................

People begging for mercy came and went, and so did the screams.

In just a few breaths, Steward Ma's subordinates were killed to the ground by the ruffian recruits, and the few recruits who did it were a little excited, their hands trembling, and their expressions were excited!
