Soon, a team of agents from the West Factory left Xiongxian County.

They were few in number, only a dozen horsemen, dressed as merchants, and left the city.

Because they brought a lot of cannons, they also specially prepared a carriage, so it is not eye-catching to say that they are merchants.

On the other side, Shu Mouse took the shopkeeper and Chen Xianling and returned to the inn where Yang Dong lived.

Seeing that Yang Dong was still sitting at the wooden table drinking tea, Shu Mouse came up very doggedly.

"Yang Gong, fortunately, we have successfully completed the task you assigned. That guy was one of the bandits. ”

"Someone, bring him up!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw two secret agents from the West Factory, escorting Han Xiaoer and coming over.

At this moment, Han Xiaoer's heart was only filled with horror. Obviously, the adult who had just been oppressed was out of breath. But now, he is actually currying favor with another man.

And seeing that he is not very old, is it difficult to ...... Is he the real man behind the scenes?

Thinking of this, Han Xiaoer's thinking gradually became clear. In other words, what can ultimately decide one's life and death is only a matter of the other party's words.

So he no longer hesitated, and knelt on the ground directly and said:

"The adults spare their lives, but the little ones know that they are wrong!"

"I know it's wrong."

Yang Dong scratched his head, a casual look on his cheeks.

"Do you want to die or do you want to live?"

"Of course, I want to live, and I ask the adults to be merciful and spare the life of the little one. The little one who is a cow and a horse will definitely repay your favor! ”

"You don't have to be a cow to be a horse."

Yang Dong shook his head, turned to look at the flattering Shu mouse and asked:

"How many of these bandits have been captured in the end?"

"About 200 people, now they have been arrested and detained in the county government." 彡彡

"That's a lot of people."

Yang Dong nodded and continued:

"In that case, send them to Youzhou. Treat it according to the treatment of ordinary mountain bandits. ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Xiaoer's cheeks were filled with a look of horror.

He knelt on the ground again and kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Good business, my lord, now Youzhou is the territory of the Houjin people, when we get over there, there is no way to live at all, it is no different from sending them to death!"

"Who said that I would send you to the battlefield to fight the Houjin people?"

Yang Dong frowned and said disdainfully:

"Just with you people, in the face of Houjin Tieqi, you are simply using the mantis arm as a car."

At this time, Shu Mouse knew that he should speak, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Don't hurry up yet! Yang Gong spared your life and let you go to Youzhou in order to build an official road. ”

"Building an official road?"

When Han Xiaoer heard this, his face immediately became a lot better. But he shook his head anyway, and was about to kneel.

But this time, Shu Mouse grabbed him by the collar directly from behind.

"What, what else do you have to complain about?"

"The little ones don't dare, but since the little ones are allowed to work, why don't you let everyone eat a full meal first. Don't hide it from the nobles, the little ones have been hungry for several days, and they can only drink some soup and water to barely satisfy their stomachs. ”

"Just take it as if you are doing it, and let us have a full meal before we die!"

When Yang Dong heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"What, you are a mountain bandit on weekdays, and you can't eat enough?"

Hearing this question, Han Xiaoer almost didn't cry.

"Noble, you don't know, although we are mountain bandits, there are not many people who can rob. Wealthy businessmen have special guards, so there is no need to say much. The people of the yamen, we don't have the courage to do this. In the end, they are just looking for some small traders and hawkers to do it. But the silver in their hands was pitiful. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

Those who bully the soft and fear the hard are the most hateful, but in this world, there are the most such people.

And it is precisely because of the existence of these people that the lives of the people at the bottom are becoming more and more difficult.

Until a certain threshold is passed, the common people can't live, and then they rise up and enter the next reincarnation.

Yang Dong sighed lightly, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavy.

Fortunately, Yourong is in the same group as himself, otherwise if he wants to transform Da Zhou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

At this moment, Yang Dong didn't have the heart to tease Han Xiaoer, and said directly:

"Go ahead, now there is a shortage of manpower on the side of Xiuguan Road. As long as you work steadfastly, two meals a day are still guaranteed. If you perform well, you may have a silver reward. ”

When Han Xiaoer heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at Yang Dong in a daze, and was silent for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked:

"Dare to ask what the noble man said, but is it true?"

"Presumptuous!"

Shu mouse twitched at the back of Han Xiaoer's head, and said coldly:

"Yang Gong Jinkou Yuyan, what is it to lie to a little person like you!"

"If you obey the commands, you will not be left hungry. Of course, if anyone dares to steal and play tricks, they will be killed or buried! ”

However, Han Xiaoer seemed to have only heard the previous sentence, and did not hear the latter sentence at all. He immediately couldn't wait to get up, looking excited.

"In that case, please lead the way, let's go to work early, and we can eat early."

This wave of operations suddenly made Yang Dong and Shu Mouse flurry.

They were about to speak, when they suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen County's order on the side, and came over pitifully.

He hesitated, then spoke:

"Your Excellency...... If it's convenient, can you let the people in Xiongxian County also go over to help. We don't want silver taels, just stutter and eat. ”

Yang Dong knew that the situation in Xiongxian County was more difficult. And now, he really can't spare the energy to run this place. So he muttered for a moment, and then spoke:

"In this way, if you go back and publicize it in the county, you will say that Youzhou is cultivating official roads, and the safety is guaranteed by the government. As long as you are willing to pass, in addition to taking care of the food, there is also a salary. Of course, the premise is that you have to work hard. ”

"Xia Guan understands, understands!"

Chen Xianling's excited hands trembled slightly, and even his yellowed cheeks began to become rosy.

"By the way, and those women and children, if they can help, they can also go over and help. However, personnel management has to be done by you Xiongxian County. Moreover, when we cultivate the official road, we distribute it according to work, and there is less work and less wages. Do you understand? ”

Hearing this, the expression on Chen Xianling's face became more and more excited.

His eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but ask:

"My lord, are you sure that women and children are also acceptable?"

Yang Dong thought for a while, nodded and said:

"It's okay, let's talk about food and clothing first, and then talk about other things. I can't eat enough, and it's useless to say anything. ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, do it."

When Chen County Ling heard this, he immediately looked right. He suddenly looked at Yang Dong with great seriousness, and then bowed deeply.

"Your Excellency's kindness, the people of Xiongxian County remember the five, and please accept your next worship!"
