By noon, two other groups of villagers who had sent the robbers had also entered the city.

After seizing the bandits' horses, Xu Qingfeng asked Master Chen to take them to Xia Qianhu, receive the reward of ten taels of silver for each horse, and let them leave their names and addresses, and they would get so many ploughing cattle to send them over within a month.

The war horses belong to the border army, and this compensation needs to be paid by the border army.

The value of a war horse is more than a ploughing ox plus ten taels of silver, and the army has no loss, and they are willing to compensate for this.

This is not a direct transaction between the villagers and the border army, there is also a procedure for the county government in the middle, which is a transaction between the county government and the border army.

If the border army directly makes such a deal with the villagers, they will lose all the rewards, and the villagers will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

But the border army and the county government made a deal, and they didn't dare not give a reward.

There are also more than 40 bandits who have been twisted over, and this is also to be rewarded, one person is a reward of five yuan, and this reward is paid by the county government.

The reason for this reward for capturing the bandits was proposed by Xu Qingfeng more than ten days ago, and the reason was that the bandits were now seriously troubled, which affected the safety of the peasants and merchants in Gumu County, and everyone could not go out with confidence, which affected the prosperity of the county.

It is not enough for the government to catch the bandits, it is necessary to mobilize the villagers so that the bandits have nowhere to hide.

The reward given to Wuguan money was enough to make those villagers move forward.

This is the first time that the bounty has been cashed out after the bounty has been issued.

More than 200 times were cashed out in one go.

This thing is also used with the money of the public treasury, and it has been agreed by the little golden state.

As long as the account is clear, how much money is spent, it will be handed over to as many people, and this account can be offset.

Xu Qingfeng personally met with the villagers who had sent the bandits over, praised their behavior, and hoped that they would make persistent efforts and send them over when they found the bandits.

He also said to them: "Before I came, I heard that the bandits in Gumu County were troubled, which made everyone tremble, and at that time I made up my mind that all the bandits must be arrested and punished, so that everyone can live here with peace of mind." After autumn, the government will go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, wipe out all the bandits, and return everyone to a clear and clear sky. ”

When those villagers heard this, their hearts did not fluctuate much.

The main reason is that the government did not go into the mountains to suppress bandits, but it had little effect, and the people and money did not have any effect, and then they simply gave up.

Now the new magistrate speaks well, but they are not optimistic about whether they can succeed in suppressing bandits in the mountains.

However, then Xu Qingfeng said something that made them change their minds:

"I also know that the Tibetan Gold Mountain is high and dense, and it is difficult for bandits to find their traces when they hide in it. In the past, the government suppressed bandits several times, but they were unsuccessful. ”

"However, this time is different!"

"This time, I invited the city god of this city to help me, with the help of the gods, I will definitely be able to wipe out those bandits."

Several teams that sent the bandits over had only caught the bandits after being reminded by the city god, and they were convinced of the city god's ability.

Now Xu Qingfeng mentioned that Chenghuang would help the government, which made them excited.

They are just villagers, and with the help of the city god, they can catch the thieves.

The government has well-equipped officers and soldiers, and with the help of Chenghuang, it is easier to exterminate those bandits.

They wanted the bandits to be eliminated more than the government, so that they could live in peace.

Xu Qingfeng said this, and let them see this hope.

Seeing that they were all very excited, Xu Qingfeng took the opportunity to talk about the city god, saying that the city god was invited by him, a true god, and he came here to protect the safety of Gumu County.

- To say such things is to bind yourself to the city god.

In this way, in the minds of those ordinary people, he is the spokesperson of Chenghuang, and what he says has more divinity, and it will be easier to mobilize the common people.

Ancient sages used Shinto to educate the ignorant people.

He is now following the example of the ancient sages.

Those villagers knew that the city god who sheltered them was actually invited by Xinzhi County, and they all bowed and worshipped.

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was high, Xu Qingfeng led them to the statue of the city god.

Although this statue has not gone through the Taoist temple to invite the gods, it is currently only a piece of wood, but it has been offered by Xu Qingfeng in the backyard of the county government, every day he will take his family to incense this statue, and Mingxiu will also come over every day to offer incense.

The ritual of inviting the gods is nothing more than a fool of people, this statue was carved, and after Liu Qing possessed it, it had spirituality and had a connection with him.

This time, Xu Qingfeng led those villagers over, and asked them to also bow to the statue of the god.

And told them that when the Chenghuang Temple is established, every ordinary person in Gumu County can come to the temple to offer incense for free.

If you feel that the distance is too far and it is inconvenient to make incense, you can receive an image of the city god and set up a temple in the village to worship.

Behind this newly carved statue of the god are hundreds of portraits of Chenghuang, who are worshiped together, and have established a connection with Liu Qing to bear the incense for him.

This time, the villagers from the three villages came, and they all said that they wanted to bring a statue of the god to the village to worship.

Of course, Xu Qingfeng would not refuse such a thing, and immediately gave them one from each village.

He also told them that once they were enshrined, they should worship with incense every day, so that they could better be protected by the gods.

When those villagers were criticized for offering incense and bowing to the statues, Liu Qing's mind kept coming to the system's prompts, but new believers were added.

The proportion of those villagers who became his followers was very high, and the three teams added up to one hundred and fifty or sixty people, so he added one hundred and forty or fifty believers.

The conversion rate has reached more than 90%.

This also made him feel that those who have a hard life are more likely to be harvested by faith.

The effort is not much, but the gain is great.

There are still hundreds of thousands of such poor people in Gumu County.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing was excited.

The interrogation of the robbers was quickly completed, and each of them confessed to his crimes and signed the confession.

- Every one of their hands and feet has been broken, and their willpower has long been exhausted, and they are afraid of being tortured again, and they will say whatever they ask, and they dare not hide a word.

Even where their nest in the mountains were.

Xiaojin Prefecture is located on the border, and the common people under its governance are basically composed of criminals, and the system is not ordinary from other places.

The magistrates of each of the following counties have the power to act cheaply, much more than those in the interior.

-- As long as food security production can be guaranteed, it doesn't matter how many people have been wronged or how many cases have been misjudged.

After they signed and detained, Xu Qingfeng sentenced them to a summary sentence at that time.

Before the villagers could leave, a verdict was handed down to escort the robbers outside the south gate and cut off their heads in front of the crowd.

The body was dug in a pit on the spot and buried, and the head was flooded with lime and sent to the state city.

After cutting off the heads of the more than forty bandits, Liu Qing found that the progress of his system task had advanced by three percentage points.

"There is also merit in killing bandits, and the merit is so great, this business is done!" Liu Qing thought to herself.

Those bandits were caught and killed, and he played a major role, and the merit fell on him, which is also very reasonable.

originally wanted to get rid of those bandits, but found that killing them could bring great merit, and Liu Qing wanted to get rid of them even more.
