Chapter 512: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 123
Pan Ying came back with a group of people, with a bitter face, sighing and saying: "The situation is even worse today. All the notices we posted were torn down. It is clear that anyone can go to the market, but the officials from Lianxing County insisted on driving us away."
"We can't conflict with the local officials, so we came back. Boss, I plan to follow you and stay in Lianxing Port for the time being, but my brothers have families in Luojing City, so it's almost time to set off back to Luojing."
"Alas~ There are not enough people to begin with, and even fewer people like us who have gone through so much experience and have good coordination are even fewer. Now we can't recruit anyone, what are we going to do in the future?"
The two of them complained to each other, but there was no good solution.
Ji Yunhuan suggested: "Why don't we give out porridge? Don't go to the big market, there must be people from the county government watching there. Go to the small market. Old Hu is very familiar with the local situation. Let him show you the way."
"Give out porridge quietly, and tell them that there is money to be earned by guarding Lianxing Port. Tell them not to make it public. They will definitely tell their relatives and friends, and someone will come anyway."
Guo Yi looked honest and hesitant, "Isn't this a lie?"
Ji Yunhuan patiently persuaded them, "How can it be considered a lie? The porridge is real, it can fill your stomach, and the money is real. If they come and don't want to, they can leave. We will set up a porridge shop here, and we will give them another bowl of porridge when they come!"
"They don't trust bandits and think we want to rob and arrest people. Let them see that we don't arrest people and give them food. Gradually, they will trust us."
"By the way, arrange some kind-looking people to distribute porridge, and let the women go with them. When the people see women, they will naturally lower their guard."
Pan Ying's eyes lit up and he jumped up excitedly, "This is a good idea! I'll go right now and ask Sanniang for food."
After a few more days, the Canglong Gang had recruited dozens of people, but they were of varying quality. Some were even half-grown children, starving to death. When their families brought them over, they were crying and wiping tears, as if they were selling their children.
Ji Yunhuan happened to be at the recruiting office. She was wearing a bright red cloak and holding a large purse in her hand, distributing this month's salary to the soldiers present.
The noisy recruiting office became quiet, and a group of poor people looked at the fairy-like person in disbelief.
"Is this really a den of bandits? This must be a fairy from heaven, so beautiful and yet she's giving you money!"
"It's really silver! I've never seen silver in my life. A small piece of silver can be exchanged for a hundred coins!"
"I'm selling my son to you, will you pay me? It's okay if you don't pay me, just don't let my child starve to death."
After Ji Yunhuan distributed the salary, he looked around and said loudly: "We are recruiting people, just like recruiting workers. We are not asking you to sell your children. But let me be frank. If the pirates really come, there may be casualties."
"But we guarantee that no one will starve to death. As long as you join the Twelve Mosasaur Armies, you will never go hungry!"
Finally, Guo Yi managed to recruit a hundred people, but these people could not be used directly and could only be sent for training first.
On the second day of training, the recruits started fighting!
There were seven or eight people in the team who were from the same village, and they fought with a group of burly men.
Those strong men came together. They were good at swordsmanship and were all very brave, so Guo Yi accepted them.
The sturdy man with a face full of flesh stepped on the head of a thin young man and laughed while holding a knife.
"You are such a loser, you want revenge? If you behave yourself, I might not bother to care about you. But you have to jump out and seek death. Do you think your life is too long?"
Young men from the same village rushed forward and tried to rescue their companions, but they were quickly pinned down by the strong men. They were all beaten badly, but still refused to surrender.
"You have beards, but I recognize you! I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
"You are not human. You are in league with the pirates. You led them into the village and killed so many people!"
"You are helping the Bru people and harming your own people! Bastard! I will kill you...ah..."
The sturdy man kicked the shouting young man over and said smugly: "I will work for whoever pays more. You can only blame yourselves for being useless, which is why the pirates massacred your village!"
"I have killed countless people, why would I be afraid of you fleas? I used to be a pirate, now I am a bandit, I am familiar with land and sea battles, the Canglong Gang needs talents like me. When they recruited me yesterday, the guy named Guo was very enthusiastic, I was promoted to the captain of ten men as soon as I came in."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Canglong Gang offers so much, I wouldn't have come. Today I'm going to kill a few of you to establish my authority. I'll see who dares to complain again in the future!"
With a bang, a streak of blood exploded on the strong man's arm.
Ji Yunhuan had a cold and gloomy face, "Hu San, is what they just said true?"
Hu San recognized Ji Yunhuan. This woman seemed to be in charge of money and grain. She was dressed very fancy and it was said that she was the woman of the leader of the Canglong Gang.
Hu San dropped the young man in his hand and led his men to surround Ji Yunhuan.
"You bitch, I advise you to mind your own business! So what? Do you dare to kill me? Aren't you also bandits? I can just fight, why do you care how many people I killed in the past?"
"To tell you the truth, I went out to rob early yesterday morning and killed a few people in the shop, but unfortunately I didn't get anything good, so I joined the Canglong Gang."
"I see you have delicate skin and tender flesh, so I was ruthless. However, I have always been tolerant of women. The leader is not here, and you miss a man? Come to find me, hahahaha..."
Several strong men all laughed, their eyes full of obscenity.
To put it bluntly, the women in the bandit den are prostitutes. So what if they are the gang leader's women? As long as they have the ability, they still have to serve them!
Ji Yunhuan's eyes flashed with disgust, but she still suppressed her nausea and asked again: "When we were recruiting soldiers yesterday, did Captain Guo ask you if you killed innocent people indiscriminately?"
Hu San laughed loudly, "I'm a bandit! Bandits must rob, of course. How can this be called killing innocent people? I see you have a lot of rules, you can't do this, you can't do that, it's really boring. Now that I'm here, the rules have to be changed!"
Ji Yunhuan nodded and said coldly: "I know, you colluded with the bandits, massacred the villagers, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and committed numerous crimes. The Canglong Gang will not accept a beast like you!"
"It's not up to you, a woman, to decide whether to accept it or not. You stay with me for one night, and today's incident will be over. Otherwise, I will beat you up!"
As Hu San was about to touch Ji Yunhuan's body, Ji Yunhuan raised his hand and pointed a palm-sized gun at Hu San's heart.
Hu San was still laughing and didn't believe that Ji Yunhuan dared to kill him.
"This little girl is pretty fierce, I like this kind of person..."
With a bang, a gunshot rang out, and Hu San's outstretched hand slowly slid down. He fell straight to the ground, with a pool of blood under him. His eyes were wide open, and he was dead in an instant.
