Chapter 261: Just a Trace of Incense

In fact, Tian Ergeng was a little unable to understand why this group of people still thought that they could run away until now.

If it was him, he must have smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away immediately after Zhu Chunchen's defense of the capital failed.

Tian Shenglan and the others are still staying until now, aren't they just waiting to be caught by them?

In fact, Tian Ergeng is not to blame for this, the main reason is that poverty limits his imagination.

Fan Yongdou and these people didn't want to do this, but the main thing was that their group of people had too much foundation, and even the packing and moving of property was not something that could be completed in a short time.

If they were to leave behind their possessions for so many years and run to the north to the east, they would indeed be a little reluctant.

The most important thing is that if these people have no property, and they still run to the north with thousands of their family, or run to the east to rely on Jiannu, then this matter will be even more embarrassing.

Because they don't even have money, what's the point of those who built slaves taking them in?

Therefore, even if Tian Shenglan and the others were to gain a foothold in the future, they had to carry a large amount of silver taels.

Tian Ergeng asked them if they planned to confess, and it was not that they were idle and had nothing to do, and it was really difficult to guarantee that Tian Shenglan and these people had any other private treasury and so on.

If he slaughtered people and didn't get all the money out, wouldn't it be a great ruin?

It was this Fan Yongdou who looked straight at Tian Ergeng, as if he was looking at a fool, sneered, and said, "Now that you still have the face to ask us this, this Tian Shenglan wants to cooperate with you and hand over all the gold and silver treasures in the family." ”

"As a result, you are in front of us, killing the whole family cleanly, it is conceivable that the nine clans of Tian Shenglan's hometown will not be spared."

"If we cooperate with you, we will die, and if we don't cooperate with you, we will die, so what's the difference?"

This is a very straightforward question that is worth pondering.

But this Tian Ergeng shook his head, his face showing a little hideous, "This Fan family master must be the well-deserved leader among the eight of you." ”

"A person like Tian Shenglan, although he is a little younger and a little more energetic, but if he is considered to be cunning, he will definitely not be able to compare to you."

"You've told us so much now, just because you want to get something out of us."

"Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, there is no need to pretend to be ignorant of the world here, if you have any requirements, just say it boldly, we will ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can agree to you, we will naturally obey Your Majesty's orders."

Over there, when Fan Yongdou heard this, the big stone in his heart barely fell a little, and he exhaled a long breath.

That's right, that's what they had in mind.

"Actually, we don't plan to fall out with Your Majesty, we still support the Ming Dynasty."

After Fan Yongdou finished saying this, he quietly added a sentence in his heart, "The Ming court can have it, but it's hard to say who the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is." ”

Of course, he had no way to say this, because that was to provoke Tian Ergeng's bottom line.

He just continued, "We also thought that Hui Shiyang, as the Donglin Party, was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so we were bewitched by them and did wrong things. ”

"The reason why we want to send silver taels to Hui Shiyang and Zhu Chunchen is just to enrich their arsenal and give them the ability to resist Jiannu, but we have always thought that the people who want to attack the capital are Jiannu's cavalry."

Fan Yongdou here wanted to continue, but Tian Ergeng over there was already a little impatient.

He came here to do things, not to listen to Fan Yongdou and these people farting.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about these useless things, and there's no point in what you say."

"How did you deal with Hui Shiyang and the others? How did you transport grain and silver? We've got all these things figured out. ”

"We have a complete confession, even if you have a lotus tongue, it is meaningless."

"If nothing else, just because you got so many swords, spears, and even firearms from the Ministry of Industry, and then sold them to Jiannu in the north, and sold them to those troops who resisted Your Majesty, you should die."

"Your Majesty has already said that if you are honest in business, no matter how big your business is, Your Majesty will not kill you."

"According to His Majesty's words, it is a matter of killing chickens and taking eggs, and he disdains it, but since you are involved in the rebellion, I will leave you behind."

"You better tell me honestly, what kind of requests do you have, and see if we can agree."

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he only felt a little out of breath.

Yes, what he just said was really nonsense.

His words seem to be able to fool a little people, but they are meaningless when they are delved into.

Several other family heads looked at Fan Yongdou's face and knew that their leader was completely at a disadvantage.

Everyone's body trembled slightly, an old fox like Fan Yongdou couldn't win a glimmer of life, so they were even more hopeless.

Fan Yongdou's face showed bitterness, "Even if we return everything we have to Your Majesty, can't Your Majesty spare us a single life?" ”

Tian Ergeng felt a little depressed, why did he say it for so long, and the other party just couldn't understand people's words!

He asked rhetorically, "If someone wants to kill you, and now that they have fallen into your hands, will you spare his life?" ”

Fan Yongdou lowered his head, and his eyes already showed a bit of despair.

If someone wants to slaughter them, and the other party falls into their hands in the end, he will definitely let the other party survive and not die, but the other party is still a dead end after all.

Fan Yongdou didn't dare to think about anything else, but said: "Then let's do it, we are willing to hand over all our wealth, and we still have some hidden property in some places, which we originally wanted to use as the capital for our comeback, and we will give it all now, and we only ask Your Majesty for one thing." ”

"We only hope that after we hand over all our wealth, Your Majesty can let our children live."

"We only need a single seedling, so that he can survive, let us go down to the nine springs, and don't cut off the incense."

After saying these words, he looked at Tian Ergeng with pleading eyes, this was their only hope?

Who knew that Tian Ergeng still shook his head, "I'm afraid that we still can't agree to you about this matter." ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
