Chapter 48: Labor Reform

An hour later, the north gate of Qinghe County.

"My lord, the eight squads of the first brigade have been assembled, and the other few have missions that can't come, do you want to leave now!" Wang Jin reported loudly.

Looking at the seventy or eighty young and strong disciples of the Four Seas Gang in front of him, Wang Xiaohu was full of pride in his heart and shouted loudly:

"Let's go, the goal is Cuiwei Mountain, drive...!" Then he rode his horse and took the lead and ran forward.

"Drive...!"

Seventy or eighty people rode to the northeast, and the passers-by were astonished, and hurriedly moved out of the way, and soon everyone was gone.

More than an hour later.

"My lord, there is Cuiwei Mountain in front, should we send a few people to explore the road first!" Wang Jin sat on his horse and pointed to the slightly green mountain in front of him and said.

"Oh, this is Cuiwei Mountain, it really deserves the name of Cuiwei, but since it's here, let's go up directly! What is there to find out about a gang of mountain breakers! Hurry up and go back to dinner, Wang Jin, find a brother who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way! Wang Xiaohu said with a disdainful expression.

"Yes, sir!" After Wang Jin finished speaking, he found a gang who was familiar with the terrain to ride a horse to lead the way in front and began to move along the mountain road.

After walking along the mountain road for a while,

"My lord, there is someone in front of you, it looks like a bandit patrolling the mountains!" The sharp-eyed Wang Jin whispered to Wang Xiaohu.

"Whoosh..., whoosh...", Wang Xiaohu did not answer Wang Jin's words, but directly took out his bow and shot two arrows before saying:

"Don't talk nonsense about the bandits, just kill them!"

Looking at the two mountain patrol thieves who had been shot and wanted to ask something, Wang Jin was surprised in his heart, and he had a new understanding of Wang Xiaohu's ruthlessness.

"Your Excellency is good at archery," the crowd praised.

Wang Xiaohu was silent, looking at the little source point added on the system panel, and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, people and animals can also provide a little source point!" Then he waved his hand and told the crowd to move on.

Looking at the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road, Wang Xiaohu took a deep breath and calmed down his complicated heart.

"My lord, you can't ride a horse in front of you! We need to dismount and walk to get over! ”

"Well, let's walk over there!" After saying that, he put the weapon on his horse on his back.

"Get off the horse and walk ahead!" Wang Jin shouted loudly to the people behind him.

Sure enough, the road behind is more tortuous, and sometimes you need to climb up and down.

"My lord, the road in the mountains is difficult, which is not conducive to the advance of the imperial army, so this gang of bandits can stir up evil spirits, but they generally will not offend our Four Seas Gang, so they exist, but although the mountain roads are a little hindered for our disciples of the Four Seas Gang who practice martial arts all year round, it is not a big problem!" At the same time, everyone was vigorous and walked quickly in the direction of the cottage.

Half an hour later,

Wang Jin looked at a wooden gatehouse standing halfway up the mountain at the end of the field of vision in front of him, and whispered:

"My lord, the bandits should be in front of you! We don't need to rest for a while, after all, we have been all the way, and all the brothers are tired."

Wang Xiaohu, who had been observing for a while, whispered: "Okay, let everyone rest for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, we will destroy this gang of bandits"! Then he waved his hand and let everyone go into the nearby forest to rest.

A moment later.

"Whoosh...," the sound of arrows rubbing against the air continued,

"Kill, brothers!"

I saw Wang Xiaohu constantly shooting all the enemies in his field of vision with his bow and arrows, and at the same time everyone shouted and rushed to the cottage,

"If there is an enemy, release the arrows! Forehead...! A leader-like bandit on the wooden tower shouted, but was quickly shot by Wang Xiaohu.

When everyone ran to the door of the cottage, they saw that the ground was full of thieves who had been killed by arrows, and only some of them who were hiding behind the wooden building and did not emerge were scared to squat on the ground, but they were soon killed by everyone!

Soon the bandits, who heard the sound of fighting in front of them, ran out from everywhere, all with weapons and shouting.

Looking at the bandits who came out, Wang Xiaohu kept supporting everyone with the bow and arrow in his hand.

After a while, suddenly a man rushed out from behind the bandits, carrying a knife and shouting: "Who are you, why are you attacking my cottage for no reason!" Everyone, please draw a way, if you are guilty, you will definitely pay for it! If you attack me for no reason, hmph, we're not vegetarians either! ”。

When the thieves heard the sound, they all began to gather behind him.

"Everyone, I am the owner of this cottage: Liu Kun, if there is...!" After finishing speaking, he saw a child carrying a big knife and slashing at him with an afterimage, and he hurriedly used the long knife in his hand to resist, and the knife was just raised in front of him.

"Click...", the knife broke the person, and the whole person was about to be split in half!

"You—" The bandit leader who had just said his name fell to the ground unwillingly.

"Phew..., a mountain thief, where did you get so many words, hum!" Then he looked up at the many bandits in front of him and shouted.

"Give you a chance, surrender and don't kill! Or you can try to kill me! Avenge your boss".

Many bandits looked at each other and thought, "Our most powerful boss was hacked to death by you, didn't we go up to find death?" Who wants to die if they can live! Then they all threw away their weapons and fell to their knees to the ground, and accepted the judgment of fate.

"Wang Jin, find a bandit who is familiar with the bandits, search out all the things in the stockade, and then let these surrendered bandits go down the mountain", and then he found a stool and sat on it, waiting for Wang Jin to finish the matter.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will do it!"

Wang Xiaohu didn't care how Wang Jin did things, he quietly looked at the mountains that were already some green in the distance, and exhaled heavily,

"Alas, after all, it was still a killing, but it felt like that! It may be that he is used to death, after all, since he came to this world, he has seen many people die for various reasons since he was a child! ”

Two hours later.

"My lord, everything has been found, except for the Li family's goods, there are two other batches, I don't know who robbed them, and there are some women, they should have been caught by thieves", after speaking, he whispered to Wang Xiaohu's ear:

"My lord, I have collected about forty or fifty thousand taels of jewels and silver coins!" Then asked Wang Xiaohu what to do with his eyes.

Wang Xiaohu said in a low voice: "All the 40,000 taels of silver will be exchanged for silver tickets for me when the time comes, and I will need to take care of it after I go back, and you will see that it is hard money to share it among the brothers!" Ask the women if they want to go home, and if not, bring them back to the gang to see which brother needs a wife! It's good to divide the points! Otherwise, they will have nowhere to go without their innocence."

"Yes, my lord"

After hearing Wang Xiaohu's words, Wang Jin smiled all over his face, and then said to everyone: "The commander said, when you go back, you will divide the silver and the wife, everyone has hard work, and you can still hold your wife, haha!" ”

"Haha, Lord Commander Xie!" Then everyone worked hard to carry the gold and silver goods down the mountain, and under the leadership of the surrendered bandits, they found some abandoned carriages at the bottom of the mountain.

Because there are many horses in the bandit village, and horses are needed to pull the cart, the bandits can only walk on the ground! This slows down the return trip.

Wang Xiaohu, Wang Jin and others rode on horses and walked slowly in the direction of the county seat.

Wang Jin suddenly rode close to Wang Xiaohu and said, "My lord, do you need to keep these captives?" These are all murderous bandits! ”

"Hmph, these bandits have done a lot of evil, and it's cheaper for them to die! I've heard that some big families keep private slaves? And I remember that the Bai family has a mine, and we can sell all these bandits, and carry out labor reform on them, so that they can exert their surplus heat and atone for their sins in their lives, and we can also get an extra amount of money! Wang Xiaohu also whispered.

Listening to Wang Xiaohu's words, Wang Jin was shocked in his heart: "Cao, I know that I am not so kind, I should be careful in the future, I must not offend the deputy commander, I am really ruthless!" But said with admiration:

"It's still thoughtful to the adults, and the villain admires it a lot!"

The sky is slightly dark, looking at the city gate in front of me,

"It's finally here, fortunately it arrived before dark, Tian Wu, you go and contact the Bai family's steward, let the Bai family come over with money to buy people, Wang Jin, you take care of the finances, and the others will go to the restaurant with me", after speaking, he was divided into three waves of people and walked in different directions.

Half an hour later, the restaurant was stationed.

"What, what do you say! You go and destroy the bandits in Cuiwei Mountain! I don't know! Bai Qingyu roared loudly, he felt that he was about to be angry to death, such a big thing, he did what he said.

"My lord, this is not the morning when I heard that there were bandits in our Qinghe County, and I was a little angry, so I took my brother to destroy them, and I didn't notify the adults in advance, it was the fault of my subordinates! Please punish your lordship," After speaking, he stepped forward and approached Bai Qingyu, took out a stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Bai Qingyu's hand.

Looking at the thick stack of silver tickets in his hand, his face changed and he said:

"Well, but there's nothing wrong with what you do, just be sure to tell me about it in advance next time! Otherwise, it's not good to let others misunderstand! I'll report your merits to the gang later! After speaking, he signaled that Wang Xiaohu could go down and do his own business.

After Wang Xiaohu left, Bai Qingyu looked at the silver ticket in his hand with a happy face, and sighed: "Now that Wang Xiaohu has started, with him in front, then he can also lead people to destroy those bandits, although Wang Xiaohu has not forgotten his share, but he still goes to suppress the bandits himself and gains more!" Remember there should be a few more bandits! ”

Wang Xiaohu, who walked out of the stronghold, ran into Tian Wu and Wang Jin who were waiting at the door.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, there's nothing wrong!" ”。

"Hey, what's going on, how are your things going?"

"My lord, the Bai family gave five thousand taels of silver and took away all the more than a hundred bandits," Tian Wuyu reported, and then gave the silver ticket to Wang Xiaohu.

"My lord, all the remaining jewels and belongings have been exchanged for silver tickets! Moreover, the extra seven or eight thousand taels of silver and those women who are unwilling to go back have also been distributed to the following according to merit and needs! As he spoke, he also gave Wang Xiaohu the silver ticket.

"Well, you guys did a good job, it's yours!" After speaking, I showed the two of them two thousand taels of silver tickets each.

"Thank you, sir!" The two looked at the silver ticket in their hands with happy faces.

"Alright, you two should go back and be happy! I'm going to go to Sihailou first! ”。

After that, Wang Xiaohu separated from the two and watched Wang Xiaohu ride a horse and disappear at the end of the street. Wang Jin and Tian Wu glanced at each other and said, "Hehe, Chunfeng Building tonight!" ”
