Chapter 417: It's All a Routine
That night, someone on the mountain quietly descended the mountain and surrendered.
Meng Jingfeng regretted that he didn't listen to what Chen Jinlong said during the day, and was the first to accept Zhao'an.
It can be seen that the Liaodong Army is determined to eliminate the bandits on their territory, which can be referred to the Eighteen Villages of Liaodong.
When he quietly came to the bottom of the mountain with his henchmen, he found that there was already someone talking to the Liaodong Army in front of him.
This person is none other than Feng Shuo, the owner of Qin Qiuzhai.
At that moment, Meng Jingfeng gritted his teeth with hatred, mother, he was the first to board! Sure enough, Feng Shuo is an old coward.
Spring and Autumn Village brought together six cottage masters in Xuansu County this time, and now one has been captured, two have quietly surrendered, and what to do with the remaining three?
Early in the morning, the three of them, you take a look, I look at you, and they also decided to descend. Feng Shuo, the owner of the Spring and Autumn Village, has all descended, don't they wait for Feng Shuo to take people to kill a horse gun? They don't want to be the heroes of Feng Shuo!
According to what Chen Jinlong and others said when they went to Zhao'an as representatives before, they can redeem their sentences in three ways, meritorious service redemption, gold as a ransom, and atonement for crimes.
With the surrender of the major cottage owners in Xuanwu County, their cottages also surrendered quickly.
Meng Jingfeng and the other village owners looked at the bandits who didn't resist at all, and secretly gritted their teeth, how about you resist! The thieves faced the angry eyes of their own village owners, and lowered their heads one by one.
Later, in order to alleviate their crimes, they all confessed the location of their vaults.
I don't know how long it took, but boxes of gold, silver and jewelry brought back by the Liaodong Army from various cottages were piled up all over the ground.
Qin Sheng walked around them, "Are you sure your gold, silver, and jewelry are here?" ”
"Yes, yes, half of my life's savings are here."
"Qin Shizi, Qin Sixth Master, we have contributed all our belongings, you have to reduce our sentence."
Meng Jingfeng and the others wailed one by one.
Qin Heng spoke, "You can appropriately reduce some of your crimes, and it is impossible to erase them all, after all, the gold, silver and jewelry you got are also ill-gotten gains." ”
Chen Jinlong helped on the side, "This is already very good, look at us, we still have to serve?" ”
Meng Jingfeng and the others stopped talking, okay, everyone is the same, it seems that there is no way.
"One last time I ask you, are you really sure that all your gold, silver and jewelry are here?" Qin Sheng and these village owners who had been recruited confirmed again and again.
"It's really all here!" Feng Shuo, Meng Jingfeng and others are still such a set of rhetoric.
"Okay, you say yes." Qin Sheng thought to himself, hard mouth? It's a good mouth.
Qin Sheng's personal soldiers all forced a smile.
Feng Shuo, Meng Jingfeng and the others were faintly uneasy, and they always felt that Qin Liuye seemed to know something.
Then they comforted themselves in their hearts not to think nonsense, no one would put their eggs in the same basket, cunning rabbits, even if they guessed that they still had hidden belongings? They don't admit it, and the other party can't help them.
Qin Sheng said to Qin Heng, "Big brother, this is the case, you can escort them back to Houcheng first." "He'll be back later.
"Okay." Qin Heng knew what he was going to do.
Looking at the reactions of these people, Chen Jinlong thought about the belongings they had hidden before but disappeared, and he realized something in his heart.
Just when Feng Shuo, Meng Jingfeng and the others were escorted back, Qin Sheng took his own soldiers and touched their stockades one by one.
The large army marched slowly, mainly because Qin Heng deliberately slowed down, because it was not a rapid march, and he didn't need to make the soldiers too tired.
Therefore, when Qin Heng and his party were still on the road, Qin Sheng had already returned to Houcheng one step ahead of him.
The first time Qin Sheng went back was to offer treasure to his daughter-in-law, and by the way, he complained to his daughter-in-law, "These people are not honest, no one knows about their little Jiujiu." ”
Lu Songli gave him a smoothing stroke, "They are indeed dishonest." Now you have taken away all the treasures they have hidden, and they will suffer a dumb loss. ”
"They deserve it." Qin Sheng turned over, "Lili, there are two of them, I always think that these people may still be hiding money." ”
Lu Songli confirmed his guess, "It's not impossible to have three holes of cunning rabbits." ”
Qin Sheng frowned, "I've touched all of their stockades, so it's impossible to miss anything." ”
"It's possible that it's not hidden in a cottage."
Qin Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter, if they were honest, it would not be impossible to leave them a little money to keep around, but now Qin Sheng just felt unhappy.
But now the location of their silver is unknown, and he can't search for it.
Seeing her husband's brows furrowed tightly, Lu Songli was amused, she reached out and touched his eyebrows, "Do you want to force them to take out the hidden belongings?" ”
"I think about it, but I'm afraid it's not okay to torture to extract confessions, and this practice is not good." After all, they can be regarded as recruiting, and if they are still tortured, it will not be conducive to their future work.
"You're ...... like that"
After Feng Shuo, Meng Jingfeng and others were escorted back to Houcheng, they were quickly sentenced.
The six major village owners need to serve for half a year to one year.
On the first day of work, they were very uncomfortable.
Chen Jinlong secretly told them that they could use gold as a ransom and give them more money to shorten the time of service.
If they could find someone to borrow some money, he would go and intercede for them.
Chen Jinlong and others do not have to serve their sentences because of their meritorious service.
At the beginning, Feng Shuo Meng Jingfeng and the others were only slightly moved, but within two days, they relented, and everything was because the service was too difficult. If you can solve it with money, solve it with money.
They told Chen Jinlong where they were hiding their treasures and asked him to go upside down.
They didn't dare to touch the belongings hidden on the cottage, so they had to move elsewhere.
This method did work, and Chen Jinlong reversed it this time, allowing them to reduce their sentences for three months to half a year.
Then there were wealthy people, such as Meng Jingfeng, who wanted to directly use his property to avoid punishment, and he told Chen Jinlong about the hiding place of the two property.
Several of them have been successfully reduced to two months, but the remaining two months are not enough to spend money.
In this way, several times in a row, they emptied all their hidden possessions.
These people are also gradually coming back to their senses, and they seem to have been fooled?
The last time Chen Jinlong came to see them, he brought them some food.
"You kid, did you trap us?"
Chen Jinlong just smiled, "There are only two months left, you should serve your sentence well." ”
They understand, routines, it's all routines! They're fooled! One by one, he beat his chest and stomped his feet.
Some of them are keen, and they can't help but worry, are the treasures they buried in the cottage still there?
