The woman put down her dagger, turned over and dismounted, and returned to her people.

To show their sincerity, Gu Fei and Jiang Shuan also turned over and dismounted.

The two sides are separated by a distance of ten feet.

Those mountain bandits who had been beaten down had also retreated behind the woman.

Seeing that the people of the clan were only injured and no one died, the woman relaxed a lot. She looked at Gu Fei and Jiang Shuan and took the initiative to say, "my surname is ge. I'm the eldest at home. Everyone calls me aunt Ge. I am in charge of this stockade. I know everything about this stockade. You can tell me directly if you want to ask. "

Gu Fei asked, "have you ever found a man and a woman in the mountains these two days? They are all in their twenties and speak with a local accent."

Aunt Ge didn't answer directly, but turned back and said a few words to the people behind her.

A moment later, she told the truth about the news reported by her people.

"My people did meet a man and a woman in the mountains. At that time, the men and women seemed to be avoiding someone and were afraid to go out in the mountains. When my people found them, they seemed to be quarrelling. Women wanted to leave, but men didn't want to. After hearing this, my people guessed that the two men and women should have escaped from adultery and elopement. They thought of taking the opportunity to make a mistake. As a result, the men and women were frightened as soon as my people showed their face. Before my people spoke, they fled. "

Gu Fei asked, "do you know where they fled?"

"My clan chased after them all the way and saw them escape to the edge of Daozi cliff. The terrain of Daozi cliff is very steep. There were children playing there before. They stumbled and fell down, so I explicitly forbid people in the stockade not to get close to it. My people didn't want to catch up. They stopped near Daozi cliff. Later, they heard a woman screaming. They guessed that something might have happened. They ran over and found that the woman had fallen off Daozi cliff. "

Gu Fei asked, "what about the man with that woman?"

Aunt Ge said a few words to the people behind her.

Soon, two mountain bandits came out under the pressure of a man.

The man under pressure is not another man, it's Ma Ding!

Aunt Ge said, "when my people saw the woman fall off the cliff, they immediately ran down to check. When they saw that the woman was dead and knew there was no help, they stopped caring about her. They picked up her baggage and left. As for this man... "

She raised her finger and pointed to Ma Ding next to her: "this man wanted to run. My people were afraid that he would attract officials after he ran out, so they caught him."

Jiang Shuan asked, "how can we trust you?"

Aunt Ge said word by word: "our stronghold has never done murder. The whole people of Jiuqu County know it!"

It is precisely because she never killed people in this stockade. Even if she robbed money, she didn't do it many times. She robbed only once or twice a year, and all the people robbed were outsiders, which didn't have much impact on the local people. Therefore, successive county magistrates turned a blind eye to this stockade and didn't care much about them.

Jiang Shuan smiled: "it's quite reasonable to say, but it's also illegal for you to rob other people's property. According to the criminal law of this dynasty, you all have to be distributed to the border and act as military slaves!"

Aunt GE's face changed, and all the people behind her were on alert.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Jiang Shuan said, "I can give you a chance to be a good man now. As long as you accept the invitation of the imperial court, integrate into my Liangshan pass military camp and become a military household under my hands, I can consider giving you a way to live."

After hearing this, aunt Ge not only didn't relax, but became more nervous: "who the hell are you? Why can you recruit us on behalf of the imperial court? "

"I am a general of Sipin Guangwu, who was granted by the emperor, and also a general of xizhonglang. Tens of thousands of people in the Liangshan pass military camp belong to me. Do you think I can recruit you on behalf of the imperial court?"

Aunt Ge was still skeptical: "you are a great general. How could you come to such a small place?"

"It's not your business. Anyway, I've left my words here. Are you down or not?"

"If we don't come down, what should you do to us?"

Jiang Shuan said naturally, "if you don't surrender, you will have to resist tenaciously and deliberately oppose the imperial court. As an official of the imperial court, I naturally want to share the worries for the emperor and get rid of your evils!"

The crowd behind aunt Ge began to stir. They were obviously frightened by Jiang Shuan's threat.

Jiang Shuan said, "I have other things to do. I'll count three. If you don't give an answer, I'll directly let the people under my hand do it."

Then he began to count down.

"One!"

Aunt Ge was very angry: "Gu Juren, you just said that as long as we cooperate with the investigation, you won't do anything to us. You can't say nothing!"

Gu Fei said, "one yard to one yard. Mo Yuezhen's death has nothing to do with you. Naturally, we won't blame you, but you must explain the robbery you committed before."

Jiang Shuan: "two!"

Aunt Ge was furious: "you have broken your word, villain!"

Gu Fei said, "when you robbed others' property, you should have been ready for today."

"But we rob the rich. We have never hurt the local poor!"

"Didn't the rich earn their money through hard work? Why can you plunder their money? I know you want to say that being rich is not benevolent, but not all the rich people in the world are benevolent. There are also many rich people who have good ideas and often help the poor. Can you guarantee that there are no such kind people among the rich people you rob? "

Aunt Ge was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.

Jiang Shuan: "three..."

Aunt Ge was so upset that she blurted out before her brain reacted.

"I accept the invitation!"

Jiang Shuan smiled: "yes, it's very interesting."

Aunt Ge is very unwilling, but at this point, she has no choice. She would rather become a military household than be a military slave. At least the military households can have some freedom. If they become military slaves, they will not only have no freedom, but also no dignity. They are like livestock and fish.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I can only represent myself. Whether other people in the stockade are willing to accept recruitment depends on their own wishes."

Jiang Shuan looked at the people behind her and asked loudly, "do you want me to count down three before giving an answer?"

Soon a strong man stood up and said, "no, I accept the invitation! Where the boss is, I'll be there. I'll always follow the boss! "

Then many people stood up and said they would be recruited with aunt Ge.

I'm in a bad state these two days. I've quietly reduced a chapter of updates. I thought no one found it, but I didn't expect... Ah!
