At this time, several soldiers pulled out of the mound, and a half-cut person whose legs were blown away was dragged to Lu Ning's side.

"His accomplice has identified this guy as the bandit leader Iron Harrier He Chongtian."

At this time, the iron harrier had already turned into a native chicken, and the gangsterism of his body had long been exhausted, his two legs were blown off by Qi Gen, and one palm was also blown up, and nine out of ten lives were also lost.

I saw that his face was full of soot, and he said to Lu Ning in despair.

"Hurry up, give me a good time, I can thank you!"

This guy is an outlaw, and he knows that if he falls into the hands of officers and soldiers, he will eventually die.

But death is not the same as death, some will be cut by a thousand knives, and some will be sin with a single sword.

Lu Ning looked at him with great disdain and said.

"Do you think that when Lao Tzu Ping fought against the Japanese in the high country, you are a little troublemaker, you are not even a mouse, and you dare to play ruthless with Lao Tzu?"

He Chongtian glanced at him and asked.

"You are the legendary Lu Ning? Anyway, if you lose into your hands, I am convinced, what do you want to know, I know everything, I say everything, I just ask you to give me a happy one. ”

Lu Ning didn't want to embarrass him, so he said directly: "Deal, you can say it." ”

"Actually, I became the climate in the Taihang Mountains, and these officials raised us."

Lu Ning's eyes widened and asked.

"Isn't being an official to suppress bandits? Why did I raise you? Who are you going to frame? ”

He Chongtian smiled, he smiled very weirdly.

"Have you ever heard of a rabbit cooking a dead dog? Without us, the river and foreign thieves, those who are officials, what excuse do they use to ask the court for silver to loot the people? In an iron box under the bed in my room, there were some accounts that were gifts from some officials along the Taihang Mountain. And they buy evidence of murder, I won't need it even if I'm going to die, I'll give it to you. ”

Lu Ning nodded, and asked Xie Jin and Wang Jun to go to the room of the owner of He Zhai to find the iron box, and tell them that these evidence must be protected, which is ironclad evidence to liquidate those corrupt officials.

Then, he asked directly.

"Who told you to send someone to kill me?"

"Actually, since you left Yingtianfu, we have known that the two commanders of Hebei and Shanxi gave us five thousand taels of silver, asking us to kill you, and then use this as an excuse to ask the court for military expenses to suppress bandits."

Is it just because of the begging for military spending? Lu Ning shook his head and smiled.

This bandit's thinking is too simple, I'm afraid they still want to cover up the fact that they are corrupt and pervert the law, and then reap the benefits in the process of relocating people again.

So, he asked which officials had dealings with him, and the iron harrier was quite frank, asking and answering.

Seeing that he was a little sluggish, Lu Ning asked someone to bandage his wounds, gave him a pot of wine at his request, and gave him a bowl of meat to eat.

Iron Harrier also knew that this was the only meal in this life, but he was not afraid, he ate meat and drank a lot, and gave Lu Ning a thumbs up.

It is said that Lu Guogong is bold and generous, and he is a hero in the world, and he really deserves his reputation today. If I, He, had met an adult a day earlier, I would never have done this kind of robbery, and I would definitely be your loyal subordinate. ”

Lu Ning nodded and said.

"Though thou hast done many wickednesses, thou shalt deserve death. But for the sake of your confession of the mistakes you have made, this official will allow you to ask, and later ask my personal soldier Zhao Dawu to personally send you on the road, hoping that you will be a good person in the next life. ”

After a while, he really carried the iron box over, opened the contents inside, and compared it, it was exactly what He Chongtian said.

Lu Ning waved his hand and said.

"Zhao Dawu, it's up to you this time."

Zhao Dawu ripped off the square scarf of the other party's head, grabbed his hair, and then raised the ghost head knife handed over by the executioner.

The knife fell, and the other party's head was already in his hand.

Lu Ning ordered his subordinates: "Burn down the cottage, execute the captured bandits, and those who have committed the most heinous crimes on the spot, those little minions, if there is no big fault, register them and hand them over to the local government to release them on the spot. ”

There were about more than 100 bandits who were full of blood debts, and they were all executed on the spot by Lu Ning.

There were about two or three hundred others left, and they were all released after they were registered.

They also found some women who had been robbed up the mountain from the mountain, asked them their names, and told them to go down the mountain with the army.

When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they were handed over to the government and asked their families and relatives to take them back.

Lu Ning, who was on the road, didn't know that the news of the extermination of this cottage had been passed to a pigeon farm in Pingyang Mansion, Shanxi Province in less than a day.

Soon, a man in black wearing a black hat and covering his face appeared in the back yamen of Pingyang Mansion.

The prefect of Pingyang and the prefect of Hongdong listened to the angry rebuke of the man in black, and they were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Master Hou, for the sake of the little ones who have generous gifts and filial piety every year, what do you think we should do now? I heard that this Lu Ning is shrewd and capable, and he is jealous and hateful, people like the two of us have fallen into his hands, and there is only one end for peeling the skin and grass, please save us! ”

The guy who didn't know what Hou was snorted.

"Master is now that the mud bodhisattva is crossing the river, where can you take care of you two fools, who told you to take it upon yourself to take someone to intercept and kill Lu Ning, didn't you take the initiative to hand him the knife handle?"

"The villain just came up with an idea, but the one in charge of the joint is our Shanxi commander, Master Zheng."

Seeing that the two idiots were still passing the buck to each other, the masked man sneered.

"Actually, it's not difficult to solve this matter, but I need to borrow two things from you. Your family and the ruler have provided for you. ”

When these two people heard this, they were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Whether you two die, or your two families are beheaded, choose for yourself!"
