Chen Zhiyuan heard this and pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded, "This is too cruel."

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes indifferently and said, "Be kind to the enemy means committing crimes against one's own people. You boy don't understand."

But no one expected it.

Wu Zheng's trick is not useful at all.

Because people came from the valley.

A bandit was dragged in.

"Official...Official, don't kill me, the young one is here to deliver the message."

"What letter is sent?"

"The young man passed the message on behalf of the military advisor in the village. The military advisor said that if the official army can guarantee that the brothers in the village will not be killed, we... will surrender."

Wu Zheng looked around and everyone laughed.

"Go back and tell your military advisor that he will talk to me by himself."

"Yes...a..." The bandit couldn't support it, "Can the official guarantee..."

"I promise, I will tell you the military advisor back. Now I am a knife and a fish. If you want to survive, let him ask me to surrender himself."

The little bandit ran back to report his life in a panic.

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Sir, it seems that brothers can go back to the ward station early."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Send someone back, tell Shi Zhao, and post a notice to the eight counties of Shaoxing. Lianghuwei Station has wiped out Liu Laosan and asked all the bandits in Pinggangshan to surrender to Lianghuwei Station within three days, otherwise they will be wiped out."

"yes."

Li Ruhai asked, "Sir, how should we deal with such a prisoner?"

Wu Zheng said: "Please take it first, and wait until the bandits in the valley have a result, and deal with them together."

"I want to say that if the adults let these people go, their lives will not be settled, and they may still become bandits."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then select strong ones from them, add them to each battalion, and take the rest to Wuzhuang as farmers, or send them to the beach to fish and dry salt."

Li Ruhai nodded and said, "This arrangement is very appropriate."

At this time, the soldiers came in to report that the bandit's military advisor had arrived.

"The sinner Jiang Li asked Lord Wu to surrender."

Looking at the middle-aged man in green, Wu Zheng was also curious.

"Depending on your appearance, you don't look like a bandit, but a scholar."

Jiang Boli replied: "The student's birth in the three years of Chongzhen."

"Uh...you are a good scholar, why are you not good at doing? Why are you a thief?"

In the third year of Chongzhen, fifteen years ago, those who were able to pass the imperial examination were very hoped to pass the imperial examination.

In fifteen years, as long as nothing unexpected happens, you can go to high school.

Jiang Boli smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, who is willing to follow the thief? Isn't it that he is forced to do anything?"

"Being forced? Who is forced?"

"Who else... the government?" Jiang Boli glanced at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng certainly understood the meaning of it. At this time, Wu Zheng represented the government.

But Wu Zheng didn't mind, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that Wu Zheng did not look angry, Jiang Boli said, "The student is from Yingshan, De'an Prefecture, Hubei Province (now Anlu). Although his family is not a wealthy family, it is not difficult to survive. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, a rich man in the same city fell in love with my family's 100 acres of paddy fields and wanted to buy them at a low price. Naturally, his father refused to sell his ancestral property at a low price. This was the time of the civil war in Yixing. He did not expect that the rich man would hook up with officials in the prefecture and put a charge of bandits on the student's family."

Speaking of this, Jiang Boli's tears fell down, "One night, the family was destroyed. I pity my family of nine. Except for me who traveled outside, all of them were killed."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "You have the reputation of a scholar, why don't you sue?"

"Sir?" Jiang Boli said angrily, "The student sued and sued the Hubei Chengxuan Zhengzheng Office. Do you know what the student ended up in the end?"

“….”

"The De'an Mansion Office convicted the students of false accusations, and the De'an Mansion was sentenced to reasonable punishment. The students were also deported to De'an Mansion for the crime of tying bandits and handed over to De'an Mansion for disposal."

Wu Zheng was speechless. When the people were in chaos, it was understandable that the government used heavy dictates in the troubled times. However, if officials and businessmen colluded with each other and ignored human lives, it would be that officials forced the people to rebel.

"It was only later that the students learned that the Left Senator of the Governor of the Governor was actually the family of the rich man in the same city. Can the students win?"

Wu Zheng was silent. Although the Left Senator of the General Secretary was from the fourth rank, he was a real power figure.

"When the student was deported back to De'an, he was already desperate. He thought that it would be better to be able to reunite with his family in the underworld." Jiang Boli said with a sad face, "I didn't expect that when I happened to encounter a bandit such as Liu Laosan attacked halfway, the student was saved because of this. Although Liu Laosan was a bandit, he always had life-saving grace for the students. He asked me to be a military advisor, and the students had no way to go, so he agreed."

Wu Zheng understood and said to Jiang Boli: "If it is true as you said, I think of your life experience as you have a rough life, and you can not blame you, what are your plans in the future?"

Jiang Boli smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, what else can students have plans for apart from studying for more than ten years and are powerless to tie up a chicken? After leaving the parody, the students are wanted by the government, unless they go north to surrender to the Qing court. However, although the students hate the government, they also know that some things cannot be done, and if they do it, they will insult their ancestors. If the adults do not abandon them, the students are willing to work under the adults, do odd jobs, copy official documents, and make a living."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm sure."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord." Jiang Boli bowed to Wu Zheng.

"How many bandits are there in the valley?"

"Ask the words of the master, there are still ninety people."

"Would you like to bring the official army into the valley?"

"I wish to serve the adults."

....

Under the leadership of Jiang Boli, the official army successfully passed through the corridor and entered the valley.

Wu Zheng never expected that the valley would be so big.

There are five to six hundred acres of land in a single field.

Although it was early winter, there were no crops in the fields.

But Wu Zheng could imagine that even if he was surrounded by the mountain for a year, he would not be able to surrender Liu Lao San's troops.

I couldn't help but feel secretly grateful in my heart.

The first thing Wu Zheng did was to ask Jiang Boli to lead him to the warehouse of the thief's nest.

"Only Liu Laosan has the key in this warehouse." Jiang Boli pointed to the lock where the door was.

Wu Zheng tilted his head, Chi Erhan picked up a big stone and smashed the door lock directly.

When he went in, Wu Zheng's eyes shone and shone.

The room was densely packed with gold, silver and good things.

Jiang Boli pointed to a pile of boxes in the corner of the east wall and said, "This is the income from a passing merchant a few months ago and killed more than a dozen people. It is said that the victim and the adults are still fellow townsmen, and are from Shining Town."

Wu Zheng nodded, Shen Bancheng did not lie, and the Huang family was indeed robbed and killed by Liu Laosan.

Chen Sheng stepped forward and slashed the lock on a box with a knife, full of silver, and an account book on it.

Chen Sheng picked it up and flipped it over a few times, then turned around and handed it to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng took a few pages and his face changed. The records on it were the secret exchanges between the county magistrates of Shaoxing Prefecture and Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren, with a total of more than 100,000 taels.
