Fan Boqing, the Zhonglang General who had just taken office for a month, was having a meal when he heard someone report that a group of bandits had appeared outside the military camp to surrender.
He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and sighed. How many waves has this happened?
This old lady is really a troublemaker! She doesn't take some people seriously at all!
Deputy Xu Yuan asked in confusion, "General, what's wrong? This is a merit that came right to you! Why is the general still sighing? Could it be that the general already knows who did this?"
Fan Boqing recalled the group of unrecognizable humanoid creatures that appeared some time ago.
After seeing them, snot and tears flew, and shit and piss flowed. There was no trace of the majesty of a mountain king left. They called them the great masters and asked them to uphold justice for them.
This is really strange. It happens every year, but it is especially frequent this year. When will the officers and soldiers give justice to the bandits? If this gets out, we will become the laughing stock of the whole world!
He snorted and laughed when he heard it: "This group of bandits are usually arrogant and domineering. Now they have encountered a more powerful one. Isn't it miserable? It can be said that it is justice and retribution!"
Then all the people who were sent were interrogated. Some who deserved to be poisoned and made mute, some who deserved to have their legs broken, their punishments were no lighter than what Qiao Xin had received.
Then he ordered all his trusted aides to take them to the prefectural government office and report to their superiors to collect the reward, without caring that the prefect's face had turned as dark as liver.
I don’t know how many heads will be delivered to my door this time!
The deputy general swiftly picked up a bandit who only had a broken leg.
He began the routine interrogation, and he was even more familiar with the procedure than the judge.
Anyone who has just arrived here can gain some experience by interrogating bandits every three days or every two days.
They didn't even need to be tortured, these bandits told their experiences with tears and snot. They had been bandits for most of their lives and never thought that there would be a day when they would be robbed by others.
Who can I go to for justice?
"Them again?" Xu Yuan was puzzled as he read the confession. "What on earth are they after? They can get a reward if they just hand them over to the government. There's no need to give the credit to us."
Fan Boqing said the truth in one sentence: "I don't want to be famous, and I don't want to be a target.
These bandits all have other connections behind them. This is both a merit and a trouble!"
"Didn't you notice that the bandits sent here are all from the hills near Lao Hu Town in the north? There are no bandits from other directions!"
When the bandits said that there were only three people who robbed them, it was one of them who liked to bury people in the land if they disagreed with him.
He had suspected the target at that time. Now he checked the map and found that the bandit dens that were disturbed were all within a hundred miles of Laohu Town.
It is obvious who is giving him the credit! It has only been a few days since we last met, but his growth rate is so terrifying!
Fan Boqing muttered to himself, "I don't know how this group of bandits offended that killer god, but they were all dealt with?"
When he saw the confession that mentioned that they had robbed furs twice on the official road near Laohu Town, and recalled what his clan members had recently written to him, Fan Boqing suddenly understood.
This group of people really didn't deserve to die. They dared to offend God, and they deserved this fate!
As soon as he dealt with this group of bandits, he said to Deputy General Xu Yuan: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the person who brought us the credit!"
Qiao Xin and his group had just rushed back when Fan Boqing came to visit with his personal guards!
After exchanging pleasantries, Fan Boqing directly explained his purpose. Qiao Xin did not hide anything and generously admitted, "Actually, I don't want to go to their lair in the cold weather. If everyone keeps to themselves, I will just pretend that these mountain kings don't exist.
But there is a group of people who are not satisfied. They come to rob every other day. Not only do they take things, they even hurt people. If we hadn't rushed over in time, the villagers would have been beheaded. It's better to clean up these eyesores as soon as possible."
She looked at Fan Boqing with interest and asked: "General, are you here to seek justice for them?"
Fan Boqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about, Auntie? How could I be such an ungrateful person? You are just getting rid of harm for the people!
It's just that the old lady has been throwing bandits into the military camp every few days, and everyone has seen it. I can't take all the credit on myself, right? Others won't be convinced, right? Why not let brothers Yun Xin and Yun Ting come to my side as my assistants? That will give me a good excuse!"
Qiao Xin politely refused, "You don't have to do this. We don't show up because we don't want to take the credit!"
Fan Boqing straightened his body and broke out a piece of news, "What you don't know, ma'am, is that the imperial court's conscription order has been issued to the boy. The government will take action in no more than half a month. Instead of letting brothers Yun Xin and Yun Ting work under others, why don't you come to me? I will never treat them unfairly. Now that they have this achievement, they don't have to start as soldiers."
"So soon? What about our family?" Qiao Yun was shocked, because Qiao Lai predicted it would be the beginning of spring.
Deputy General Xu explained, "New soldiers need to be trained for three months, so the court had to recruit soldiers in advance this time. According to the regulations, Yun Xin and Yun Ting are both on the list, and one of them must go, and the other can pay ten taels of silver to replace him."
"That means most of the hunters in Old Lake Town will have to go!"
"yes!"
Most of the young and strong laborers in Laohu Town have left at once. What will we do if something happens again?
"Mom! Look..."
