Chapter 61: Kill, or Release?

In the eyes of the golden abacus, Mu Bai's elegant face showed a trace of hideousness.

What is the origin of this man?

The golden abacus has also read countless people, but after a whole night, whether it is intrigue or his way of doing things, he can't guess his next step.

Jin Abacus only regrets it now, they have done a lot of meticulous work in this ambush, but they have not studied this grain chief in depth.

In the past, small things like charging grain were thankless, and they were all thrown by the imperial court to some petty officials who had little influence to do.

But the chief officer of the grain charge he met this time was a hard bone to gnaw.

Mu Bai then came to the golden abacus and smiled very kindly:

"The master of Jinzhai just played with me."

Jin Abacus's back was cold: "This ...... What do you mean by that, sir? ”

Mu Bai didn't say a word, and directly gave Sun Qianjun a look: "Search his body." ”

Mu Bai was referring to the brocade rat that he had just sentenced to death.

Sure enough, the next moment, Sun Qianjun searched out ten gold bars from the brocade mouse's body.

"My lord, these horse thieves are really rich!"

Seeing these gold bars, Jin Abacus lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mu Bai.

Mu Bai took a gold bar and shook it in front of the golden abacus:

"Lord Jinzhai, shouldn't you travel lightly to fight? Why does this guy have so many gold bars on him? ”

"This ......" Jin Abacus couldn't see it, so he had to take out a thick stack of silver tickets from his pocket, which was as big as 10,000 taels.

"Adult, villains don't dare to hide it anymore, this money is all a coffin book, we came out to ambush, and we also staked our lives, so all the value will be on our bodies."

Mu Bai sneered, this is a practice of mountain bandits and robbers, most of them have no family, so every time they come out to smash open fires, they will bring all their belongings.

is worried that there will be no return, and the money has to be carried in his pocket, and the underworld can have a little spare money to spend, so as not to suffer all the way.

Mu Bai's eyes sank: "Come, that box, let them hand over all the silver." Don't let the corpses go, search them for me. ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Pu and Li Mu immediately split up and looted.

No matter how big or small the bandits, they all carried a little belongings, some were fifty taels or taels, some were exchanged for jewelry, and some were carrying large silver tickets.

There were not many casualties among the soldiers of the Zhongzi battalion, that is, about a hundred.

It's not that they can really defeat so many mountain bandits, if they go head-to-head, the 5,000 loyal battalion can easily defeat 10,000 mountain bandits, but they will never be as comfortable as winning tonight.

At this time, they carried torches and searched the body of each bandit.

Jin Abacus was resentful, but he didn't expect that his last bit of caution would still be seen through by Mu Bai.

Soon, a large box used to hold fire thunder was densely packed with gold and silver jewelry.

Although he blew up the supplies of a squad, he wiped out the mountain bandits in Jinfeng Town and seized so much gold and silver, which was a great achievement.

Mu Bai pointed to the box and said, "Seal the box immediately and transport it to Dongrin City together." ”

Fighting a war requires burning money, and how many taels of silver are needed to eat and drink Lazar every day, the household department knows best.

Jin Abacus knelt down again and said:

"My lord, since the gold and silver have been handed over, what ...... Can you let us go? ”

Mu Bai was also pondering this question.

Let them go, just like a spring breeze blowing and rebirth, wildfires can't be burned, and soon they will rekindle and rob houses nearby.

If you don't let them go, will it be difficult to kill them all?

This kind of killing thing is still a bit cold-blooded.

Moreover, not killing and surrendering the enemy is the first principle of soldiers.

Otherwise, the reputation will spread in the future, and even if the enemy is about to be defeated, he will fight to the death.

Mu Bai said loudly in front of the soldiers of the Zhongzi battalion:

"Today, let your remaining bandits leave, don't kill!"

"Thank you, sir!"

There were still more than 1,000 bandits left, but the four major cottages were divided, and there were only two or three hundred people left in each cottage.

And at this time, everyone is already frightened.

"But......" Mu Bai changed his words: "This time to Yunzhou, we will report to the governor of Yunzhou about the affairs of Jinfeng Town, if you still dare to return to the old business, next time you will not be as merciful as this official." The official ordered that the four cottages could be disbanded, and there should be no more acts of one party. ”

Everyone kowtowed one after another, it was good to be able to pick up a small life, where would they dare to rob the house in the future.

Li Mu, Zhou Pu, and Youruo all know very well that the mountain bandits don't know if they are trustworthy or not, but Mu Bai really can't slaughter and surrender the enemy.

Otherwise, you will end up with a brutal infamy.
