Chapter 377: Tired of being a mountain bandit

They didn't know that Gan Huaizhong was not far away, listening to their conversation.

Gan Huaizhong was very happy with Li Zhi's trust.

The next morning, Gan Huaizhong led his men to Laohei Mountain again.

Just like yesterday, he stopped at the agency and presented a gift.

He shouted at the hillside, "I know you all became bandits out of necessity. Now our Shunyi Army has taken over most of Dayun's territory. Our Dashun is different from Dayun. Our Majesty loves the people like his own children and will never harm you easily."

"You can temporarily hide in this mountain, isolated from the world, and be bandits for the rest of your lives. But what about your descendants? Will they be like you, hiding in this Laohei Mountain, dying in mediocrity, and ready to deal with the government's attack at any time?"

Gan Huaizhong shouted a few words, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of coming out, he left again.

The second in command led his men down first, looked at the things on the ground and said, "This young man is really amazing. If we were not careful yesterday, then today it must be his ability."

After yesterday's lesson, he led his men seriously and cleaned up all the traces as much as possible, but he didn't expect that he was still discovered by the young man.

One step further is their mechanism.

The young man stopped at the right time.

"This boy has such a keen eye at such a young age. If he grows up, he must not be underestimated."

The face of the first in command was not as relaxed as yesterday, but looked a little heavier.

All he thought about were Gan Huaizhong's words.

They became bandits because they had no choice.

If it weren't for the government's bullying, he wouldn't have gone up the mountain to become a bandit.

Being a bandit may seem glamorous, but only they know the pain.

If it was not so bad on weekdays, they could rob the passing merchants, but robbery was not so easy.

Which of those officials and merchants did not bring enough guards?

The most serious time, more than 30 brothers died here.

More than 30 brothers left behind a family of dozens of people.

These people had no one to rely on and became orphans and widows.

And this is not the end. Almost every time they robbed, brothers would be injured or killed.

If this continues, I am afraid that they will all die without the government's punishment.

But in the past year or so, there has been no rain, and the food planted in the mountain village cannot survive. If they don't rely on robbery, the people in the whole mountain village will starve to death.

The money robbed cannot be eaten as food, and needs to be bought in the city. Their Laoheishan is different from the surrounding mountain strongholds. Those mountain strongholds are all running dogs of the government.

Only they are real bandits.

There are notices everywhere in the city to catch them. The pass they robbed is not always foolproof. Once they were discovered and several brothers were killed.

Recently, there have been fewer and fewer officials and businessmen coming and going. There has not been a single merchant in the past half month.

It has been very difficult in the house during this period. Originally, everyone had two meals a day, but now they only eat once every two days. The rest of the time they just drink some wild vegetable soup.

They thought that the arrival of the Shunyi Army would make their life even more difficult, but they didn't expect that the Shunyi Army would also send them food.

"I don't know how the brothers who went to get the news are doing now."

The two brothers who went to get the news were shocked by the scene of Jinyang Pass as soon as they sneaked into Jinyang Pass.

The people of Jinyang Pass were holding fragrant mixed-flour cakes in their hands.

So big, so round, much better than what they eat in the mountain village.

And everyone was wearing clean and tidy new clothes with smiles on their faces.

"Could it be that we ran into some big official, otherwise why would the people dress like this?"

If the people really lived so happily, why would they become bandits? They would have stayed comfortably in the village long ago.

"Are you new refugees?"

The old lady who passed by heard what they said and chuckled.

"Our Jinyang Pass is now occupied by the Shunyi Army. We are living a good life now. Everyone has food and jobs that can make money. We no longer have to worry about being starved to death."

"Go to the government office and report. The government office will give you new travel permits, new accommodation, and help you find new jobs."

The two people who were trying to get the news asked a few more people. Everyone said the same thing. Some people saw that their clothes were tattered and advised them to go and get food and clothes quickly. When

they arrived at the government office, they made up an identity at random, and got a new travel permit, new clothes and food.

The officers took them to find a place to stay. Looking at the house in front of them, they couldn't help it.

"Sir, I would like to ask, why do you want to help ordinary people like us? We are at the bottom of the society. It is a waste to use these resources on people like us."

"What do you mean by a waste? The court has food, but they don't give it to you. You are starved to death. This is a waste."

"Then sir, you didn't check our identities carefully just now. Don't you worry that we are bad guys?"

"If it was earlier, when we were not yet powerful, we would naturally be afraid of bad guys like spies. But now we have taken over most of Dayun's territory. What is there to be afraid of even if they are spies? If we are afraid, do we not have to fight?"

"Besides, there are bad people everywhere. We don't care about your past. As long as you obey the law and live in peace from now on, it will be fine."

The two men entered the new house and looked at the clean bedding that had been prepared long ago. They were quite moved.

Since they became bandits, they have never lived such a stable life and have never seen so many people.

Since the Shunyi Army does not ask about the past, why not let the leader bring his brothers down the mountain, find a job seriously, and live the rest of their lives well.

This is much better than staying in the mountains and being bandits for a lifetime.

I don't know if several leaders are tired of being bandits, anyway, they have been tired of it for a long time.

Now that they have the opportunity to change everything, they can't wait to seize the opportunity.

"Da Mao, I just went out to inquire. The food in Jinyang Pass is very cheap, just like before, one tael of silver for one stone, and brown rice only costs a few hundred yuan, and a job for a month will cost at least three or four taels of silver. If you have some skills, you can join the army and get ten taels of silver."

"I just took a walk and heard the storyteller telling the story about Gan Fanren, the leader of the Shunyi Army."

"This man is really amazing. Not only is he protected by the gods, he is also brave and careful. He dared to fight against the court alone and saved tens of millions of people in Xiaoye City."

"In order to better understand the leader of the Shunyi Army, I also bought his biography!"
