"Dong?"

Lin Bai frowned.

"Not bad!"

Ji Xiaofeng replied, "They call themselves Dong people, as for the truth or falsehood, it is not possible to determine for the time being." ”

"They also demanded that we release people, saying that we don't have the right to arrest people here."

Boy!

Are all bandits so arrogant? Is there still a royal law here?

The corners of Lin Bai's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Is there really such a rule?" ”

Ji Xiaofeng said: "This is already Dong County in Guinan, and the nearby areas are all within the scope of activities of the Dong people, and the patriarch of the Dong people serves as the Tuzhi County, according to the Tusi system, the Dong people are under their own jurisdiction, and if something happens, it should be handed over to the Dong County Yamen to deal with." ”

Ji Xiaofeng didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear, that is, it really couldn't be managed.

I'll go like this!

Lin Bai couldn't hold back a little, he was a dignified member of the third rank of the imperial court, and this time he went to the southwest, which was equivalent to the existence of Qincha, and he couldn't move a few fart people.

What kind of is this? Can this be endured?

No wonder Lao Zhu can't wait to deal with this, although these Diao people have surrendered one by one, but in fact, they are like a country within a country.

Not to mention Lao Zhu, the great talents can't help it.

Ji Xiaofeng obviously also saw Lin Bai's unhappiness, and said: "Although this is the case according to the law, robbing and killing the imperial court officials is naturally different, if the adults want to deal with it, ......"

In this way, Lin Bai felt a little better, but that was all.

He immediately asked, "If this is the case, isn't the southwest chaotic?" ”

Ji Xiaofeng said: "The southwest is indeed very chaotic, but it is not so exaggerated, generally speaking, these people generally do not make trouble in their own territory, and the local toasts will not allow it." ”

That's right, too!

Although the imperial court can't control it, the local Tusi will naturally not tolerate it, businessmen can play a great role in economic development, once these people are offended, it will be dead.

"They usually go to other toast sites when they make trouble, and the real trouble is that conflicts will break out between toast and toast."

"And this kind of thing happens from time to time, it's okay on a small scale, it's an exaggeration for a large-scale conflict."

This is the conflict between the two tribes, which can be imagined.

This place in the southwest is really not a place for people, there are many Yi tribes here, it is too difficult to do, and it is even more difficult to integrate, Lao Zhu really gave himself a century of problems.

Push directly with the army?

At present, it seems that this is the best and most effective way, and other methods are not as direct as this, nor are they effective.

Lao Zhu was equipped with Zhuge Repeater's crossbow, most of which was not expected to be resolved peacefully.

Get!

I can only take one step at a time and look at one step at a time.

"Childe, those two bandits?"

Lin Bai said: "Did you ask something?" ”

Ji Xiaofeng shook his head, "There is nothing useful, so I can't live." ”

The key is the Dong people, and he is not easy to dispose of at will for a while.

Lin Bai paused and said, "Bring the person here, and the official will interrogate him personally." ”

"Yes!"

Ji Xiaofeng took the order, and soon brought the two over, at this moment the two of them were still arrogant, and they were still shouting, "Hurry up and release us, you don't have the right to arrest us......"

The two of them chattered crookedly, looking fearless.

Lin Bai plucked his ears, and seemed to be a little impatient, and said: "Pretending to be the Dong people, robbing the caravan in the territory of the Dong people, robbing and killing the court officials, and cutting it!" ”

"Yes!"

Yan Gang didn't say a word, and directly pulled out his knife and cut it down.

Seeing this, the two of them turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "No...... Don't, big ...... Adults spare their lives. ”

These two guys are not stupid, they have long seen that the group is not ordinary, and they were just pretending before, and when they saw that Lin Bai didn't eat this set, they naturally panicked.

I thought they weren't afraid of death!

Lin Bai glanced at the two of them and said, "It's very simple to want to live, this official has a few words to ask you, whoever answers quickly and accurately can live." ”

"On the contrary, he is a fake Dong tribe."

The two of them were pale, and they were no longer as calm as before.

Lin Bai was not used to them, and asked directly: "Why are you a bandit?" ”

"I can't live anymore." The two spoke in unison.

Lin Bai asked again: "How many of you are there?" ”

"About fifty or sixty people."

“……”

may be frightened, the two are very cooperative, just as Tong Dahai said, these two guys have really trafficked Tianzhu hemp.

Later, because of the strict investigation above, he did this under the leadership of several leaders, anyway, in his own territory, outsiders can't control it, as long as he is careful, it's fine.

Moreover, they rob foreign merchants, not natives.

After doing it a few times, I couldn't stop it even more when I tasted the sweetness, so ......

According to their confessions, there are many people like them in other nearby counties, and those leaders will often meet with people from other counties.

That's unusual!

Do you have to meet more often when you are a bandit? No matter how you look at it, this looks like an organized premeditation, could it be that someone is behind the organization of these people to deliberately do something?

Not to mention, it's really possible.

The ability to dare to do this is not a good bird, plus it can't survive, as long as someone has a heart to use it a little......

Yan Gang said: "Could it be that the Tianzhu hemp boss is deliberately making trouble and wants to attract the attention of the above?" ”

Ji Xiaofeng said: "There is such a possibility. ”

"However, this is not bad, they rob inland caravans, and it is easy to cause conflicts between the inland and the southwest, I don't know if it is unintentional or deliberate."

Most of the people in the southwest are Tusi, like today's incident, once it spreads, it is likely that it will not be a matter of a few bandits, but may evolve into an incident of the Dong people against the Han people.

After all, this area is governed by the Dong people.

If the same is true of the surrounding counties and cities, then it is likely to evolve into the entire Southwest Yi tribe, uniting to attack the Han people, and once it continues to deteriorate, the southwest will inevitably be in chaos.

You must know that Lao Zhu himself has plans to take up the southwest strongly.

However, this kind of plan is undoubtedly the choice that there is no choice in the end, but if there is any other choice, Lao Zhu will definitely choose other ways, and even if he really chooses tough means, it will definitely be thunderous.

With lightning speed, it is possible to subdue a few large toasts.

Otherwise, these toasts combined, plus Dali is eyeing each other, it is impossible to succeed at all.

It's either not done or fast.

Now these bandits seem to have been taken advantage of, deliberately intensifying the relationship between the Southwest Yi and Han people.

While it's not known for sure, there are signs of it.

Thinking of the previous few bandit incidents, Lin Bai still faintly smelled a familiar smell.

That's right! Red Lotus Sect, Red Lotus Sect likes to use bandits to do things the most, that's their forte.

These bandits in the southwest counties can't be related to them, right?

These guys are really ghostly, where there are contradictions, they will be there, and they will inevitably want to use the southwest to do things.

It's enough of so much toast to have a headache, and if the Red Lotus Sect still comes to mix it up, then it'......

Lin Bai suddenly had the urge to go home.
