Chapter 65: Public Trial
In other stories, people like me have already started to fight monsters and upgrade, killing and killing.
But in this story, I'm the main character.
Speaking in his heart that no one could understand, Bai Ming stood on a big tree, the dense canopy blocking his figure, and he looked down through the gap between the leaves.
Below was a humble camp, with a few dozen rough houses, built on spacious, flat land, and near the camp was a lush wood, and some ditches had been dug to divert most of the rainwater to a small lake not far away, and a dozen gray-brown mules and horses were tied to stakes on the perimeter of the camp.
From the outside, it doesn't seem to be much different from a small village, but if you look closely, you can see that there is not a single piece of soil near the camp where some edible plants can be grown.
In order to alleviate the burden of importing food from outside the country, the Land of Rain has developed some plants that can be grown in the rainy season, and almost every village has such fields.
Bai Ming had been observing for more than half an hour, there were not many people in this camp, and there were only about fifty people in total, of which more than thirty were adult men, and the remaining ten or so were women and children.
As for the old man, since he was in the Land of Rain, Bai Ming hadn't seen a few normal old people.
This camp is a bandit settlement that Bai Ming has tracked down according to the villagers of Xiaochuanli Village who have recently visited, and from overhearing some conversations in the camp, Bai Ming confirmed that he was not looking for the wrong place.
Now that you've found the right place, it's time to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil.
He didn't act rashly, but waited for a while, and when a few women were cooking in the pot, he quietly put some medicine in the pot.
There is no chin bean or anything like that, it is disgusting to himself, and with his medical skills, it is very simple to match two pairs of colorless and odorless powerful sweat pills.
After the aroma of the food was cooked, most of the people in the camp put down other things they were doing and gathered together to eat.
Judging from the behavior of dividing more and disdaining less, this division is also related to the distribution of the harvest of the other party in the last raid.
After waiting for a while, after everyone had eaten almost enough, the effect of the medicine began to take effect, and everyone felt dizzy for a while, and if they had to make some more movements, they fell to the ground with their heads covered.
As soon as Yoshikawa Ryu saw his subordinates falling down one after another, he immediately realized that something was wrong, someone had poisoned the food.
But just now he ate the most, but when he stood up with anger on his face, a wave of dizziness struck, and then he fell to the ground in a groggy state.
Several women and children in the camp who had not eaten were startled by the scene in front of them, and when they were at a loss, Bai Ming walked in from outside the camp.
"Nan Wudang will come to the next birth Maitreya Buddha."
He is dressed in white, his bare feet do not seem to be contaminated with dust, his face has a trace of sadness, his eyes are gentle and deep, and he naturally has the image of a decent person, and it is easy for people to trust.
This is also an external image that Bai Ming has set up specifically for himself, as a god stick, personality charm is a very important aspect, if you look too frustrated and dress up like an old farmer, there are a few people who are willing to listen to you preach the scriptures.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Ming appeared, several people who were still panicking hurriedly surrounded him as if they had seen a savior, "Master, what's going on." ”
These robbers in the camp suddenly fell, and this monk suddenly appeared, which must have something to do with him.
Bai Ming's voice was gentle and full of intimacy, "Don't panic for the time being, this is the little monk who passed through Xiaochuanli Village some time ago, and learned that there are duck owls and robbers gathered here to rob and hurt innocent people, so he came to get rid of the demons." ”
"Xiaochuanli Village is the village where I live." A woman with disheveled clothes immediately shouted.
These remnants of the women and children were at the bottom of the camp, and the bandits in the camp had looted from other villages to serve them.
As the lowest level, they have not been able to get food, so they have not been stunned by Bai Ming's medicine, and Bai Ming probably guessed the identity of these people when he observed before.
After getting closer, he used his keen perceptual ability to determine his judgment through emotional discrimination.
Bai Ming's explanation made the remaining people immediately feel much more at ease, and after learning that these robbers were only temporarily unconscious, some people immediately showed strong hatred and killing intent on their faces, and staggered to pick up the weapons dropped by these robbers to kill them.
Bai Ming immediately stopped it, killing himself here how to maximize the effectiveness of the propaganda.
"Donors put out their anger for the time being, these people have done many evils, but they cannot be killed without evidence, and wait for them to be tied up and swam between the villages, and all the villagers will judge and decide their life and death, and other donors who have been harmed by these evil obstacles can be relieved of their hatred."
Bai Ming said this, these people naturally couldn't help but give face, they wanted to kill but couldn't resist Bai Ming's block, so they could only tie them up according to their words, and then someone went to notify the villagers who lived nearby.
Half a day later, there were more than 100 people in the camp, and these people rushed over after learning that the White Lotus Sect's Venerable Bai Ming had caught the robbers who were invading their village.
Most of these people have been favored by Bai Ming, and in this era of lack of medical care, healing is like saving lives, so they also obey what Bai Ming said.
The lower duck robbers, led by Yoshikawa Ryuichi, tied up and marched to each village for trial.
Although this violated the doctrine of non-killing propagated by the White Lotus Sect, in the face of hatred, the idea of revenge and revenge had long forgotten the teachings of the White Lotus Sect. After they were convicted of crimes by the public trial, they were either beheaded or hanged, and it took two days to kill.
After the trial, the White Lotus Sect had more than a few hundred devout followers among the thousands of people in the nearby villages.
As for the rest of the robbers, Bai Ming also distributed them one by one, that little money and materials were a lot for ordinary people, but for Bai Ming, it didn't make him greedy, and the purpose of his original money was to strengthen the White Lotus Sect.
It's just a matter of changing your left hand for your right hand.
And after Bai Ming's previous plan was successful, he continued to start this kind of robbery trial.
Before the outbreak of war, the order of the rain country was not stable, and the feudal system and poverty and hunger constantly stimulated some people to become robbers, most of whom were actually trying to survive for themselves at first.
After the outbreak of the war, chaos emerged, and bandit organizations in various places continued to emerge like mushrooms after the rain, and of course, the life of the people in the country of rain was even more miserable.
In the case that the country's main military force is used in foreign wars, it is natural and negligent internally, and there is no hope for the victims to take revenge, so that Bai Ming is a person who helps people see a doctor for free, and catches thieves everywhere so that they can take revenge, and the trust in Bai Ming and the White Lotus Sect has risen.
While the development of the Rain Ninja Village itself was slow, the followers of the White Lotus Sect in these scattered villages developed very quickly.
And Bai Ming didn't arrest people every time and tried them unified, if there were survivors, he would do this to accumulate his reputation, if there were no survivors, he would directly kill a fine light, take away all the living materials and money, and use it for other purposes.
After all, the number of orphans adopted is also increasing.
In the space of a month, he cleared a total of 12 bandit organizations, but the number of orphans adopted exceeded 100.
