"Drop your weapons! Shut up!"
"Don't look up, don't look around! Stay still!"
This anti-bandit battle ended extremely quickly. Most of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp did not have a chance to fight before they saw a large group of people kneeling down in front of them.
"General, what should we do with them? Kill them all?"
Yao Wenkuiye walked over quickly, his face full of murderous intent, as if he was waiting for Lin Che's order so that he could pounce and reap the harvest.
The surrendered bandits all heard it and immediately let out wails and begged for mercy.
Lin Che could see that the one with the strongest murderous intent was Yao Wenkuiye. Last time when they were chasing the 30,000 Zhenyuan soldiers in the desert, it was this guy who rushed the fastest and killed the most.
"Let's see how they perform."
Lin Che rode up slowly on his warhorse, wiping his bloody spear while shouting:
"Your boss has been killed. Who is your second-in-command? Come out!"
The bandits instantly shut up and dared not speak.
Bang——
At this moment, Yu Huadian rushed out and kicked the kneeling bandit in front of him, instantly kicking off his head.
The bloody head fell into the crowd of bandits, causing panic.
"If you don't answer my master's question, you will die!!"
Yu Huadian's voice was like a knife, piercing everyone's throat.
"Yes, it's him—"
"He is our second-in-command."
"Yes, yes, that's him. Second in command, get out now and don't harm us."
In a short time, the bandits found the second in command and pushed him out.
The second-in-command was already trembling with fear. Yu Huadian grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and dragged him directly in front of Lin Che, throwing him to the ground. Then, without a word, Yu Huadian retreated to Lin Che's warhorse, with an indifferent attitude.
Lin Che naturally did not stop Yu Huadian from killing people. Didn't Li Xingyi and his caravan die at the hands of bandits like this? Which of these bandits hadn't killed and robbed people?
Lin Che looked at the trembling Second in Command and ordered, "Since there's a Second in Command, there must be a Third in Command and a Fourth in Command. Pick out fifty people; they will be your usual core members. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand." The second in command nodded repeatedly. He was pushed out just now, and now he has the opportunity to drag this group of people into the water.
If we die, we die together.
"Old Three, stop hiding. Come out—Blind Bing, don't blink at me, you're involved too."
"Daniu, you four usually lead the team. Come out. Quick!!"
When the Second in Command first went to look for someone, he was a little hesitant and embarrassed, but gradually, he straightened his back and acted like an official appointed by the imperial court, with a certain dignity.
After a while, fifty people were selected.
They are all core members of the bandit group, and they are the ones who take the lead in killing, burning and looting.
Lin Che didn't hesitate and asked, "Do you want to live or die?"
When these fifty bandits heard this, their eyes widened.
This appears to be a choice, but is it really a choice?
"Master Jun, we don't want to die. Please let us go."
"Sir, we won't do that. We were forced to do that. We've decided not to be bandits anymore. We're done with it."
"Right, right, right. From now on, we'll be good people. We rob just to stay alive. We're not born evil. We didn't want to do this a long time ago. It was some damned boss who dragged us into this last robbery!"
Lin Che didn't explain too much, and took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and said in a deep voice:
"Here's a bottle of medicine. It was sold to me by an old witch doctor. If you don't take the antidote within two months, the poisonous insect will hatch in your stomach and eat your internal organs."
The bandits immediately gasped.
They had heard of this rumor before, and all kinds of witchcraft were the most difficult to deal with.
Is this Lin Che asking them to take this kind of witchcraft medicine?
Lin Che threw the medicine to Yu Huadian and instructed, "Get a few bowls and go to the river. Have all the bandits line up. Have the fifty of them take the Gu medicine. As for the remaining thirty, you can do whatever you want with them. Put them in any of their bowls and have them drink it."
"Yes, Master—"
Lin Che's words were neither loud nor soft, but they could be heard clearly by the nearly ten thousand bandits.
Their eyes widened, and they were so frightened that they froze.
He looked at Lin Che as if he had seen something terrifying.
Listen, listen, is this human language? Is this what a human being does?
What do you mean by just putting it in their bowl?
What this means is that there are at least thirty more bandits in this group who have been poisoned, and they don’t even know it.
This is terrifying.
Lin Che felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched the expressions on their faces. Controlling the lives of fifty small leaders meant there was no one to lead the rebellion.
But it's still not safe. If the small leader doesn't dare to do it, what if the other ordinary bandits run away on their own? What should we do?
It’s very simple, just make them feel insecure.
For example, if you have just entered high school and your homeroom teacher wants to stop you from dating, it is very simple. He just needs to say: There are 2,000 students in our high school, but there are 20 people infected with AIDS, including one in our class.
If it is empty, then make it real; if it is real, then make it empty. Just guess!
If you are brave enough, then continue to fall in love.
Now, among these seven or eight thousand bandits, I tell you, thirty of you, like the small leader, have taken the poisonous elixir. You can try to run away and gamble your life on whether you will die from the poison.
