The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 149
Zhao Congfeng, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, got the sound transmission from Yang Qingyuan and the message from Xiao Yang Guo, and led people up the mountain to confiscate all the bandits' weapons, and tied the hands of the bandits together with ropes.

Because of the number of bandits, there was almost not enough rope, and the rope from Yinlong Village was used.

Yang Qingyuan handed Zhao Congfeng the handling of all kinds of affairs in the cottage, including the counting of grain and grass, and asked Yang Guo to follow him to learn how to handle affairs. He immediately led someone to interrogate several seriously injured leaders in the cottage.

Sure enough, Yang Qingyuan got a clue.

The robbing of food and grass this time was not done by the Yinlongshan village. In this robbery, Yinlongshan could only be regarded as an accomplice, and did some work to clean up the remnants of the soldiers, clean up the battlefield, and transfer food.

It was a group of elite black-clothed killers who really took the initiative to defeat the army in charge of transporting food and grass to Jizhou.

The leader of the two people, one whose true energy was piercingly cold, seemed to have divine help in the heavy snow.

The other person is invulnerable to swords and arrows and hard to hurt, and he has practiced his external skills to the pinnacle.

They brought a total of [-] elite killers, all of whom had access to the meridians. Under the leadership of the two, they broke through the defensive formation of the army and killed the school lieutenant who was in charge of transporting the food.

From the descriptions of these leaders, Yang Qingyuan found the shadow of an acquaintance.

The mysterious organization that hides behind An Jia and cooperates with An Jia.

It's just that there is another person in this organization who is good at practicing external skills, which is surprising.

This master who is invulnerable to swords and guns and hard to hurt by arrows is very similar to the Shahu who died in Ye Jianhan's hands. There are very few people in the world who can practice hard skills from outsiders to this level, but their skills will only be higher.

And this arrow hurts sounds simple, but in fact it is incredible.

The dead Shahu couldn't do this step either.

The military crossbows used in Jizhou are also Dazhou-style crossbows, which can be blocked by the body-protecting qi formed by the burst of true energy of ordinary Yuanhua realm warriors at a distance of [-] steps.

But Yang Qingyuan had never seen someone who could block a powerful crossbow by relying on his physical strength.

I have only heard of two people in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, one is the youngest of the seven heroes of Hulushan, and the other is Kongjian among the four contemporary Shaolin monks.

Perhaps there are one or two such in the Vajra Gate of the Western Regions, but there will definitely not be many of them.

After this group of mysterious people helped Tian Hu wipe out the Jizhou Beicao army, they left on their own and gave Tian Hu food worth tens of thousands of gold.

Yang Qingyuan couldn't figure out the purpose of this group of people at all, it seemed that they came here purely for the sake of the court.

As for other details, no one in the cottage knew about it, and Tian Hu, the only one who might know, had already died. Yang Qingyuan could only write down the matter and put it aside for the time being, and investigate later.

The 15 shi of grain that was looted remained untouched in the cottage of Yinlong Mountain.

In addition, Yang Qingyuan also found eight thousand stones of grain from the cottage, which was a surprise.

Count it as the interest of food in Yinlong Mountain these days!
Two hours later, the folks from Zhending County also came to transport the [-] shi of grain back to Zhending.

The rest of the food was transported to various places in Pingshan County by the follow-up civilian husbands from Pingshan County under the protection of the city defense army.

The biggest problem in the cottage is that there are more than 2000 bandits on this mountain, [-]% of them are ordinary minions, who have never killed anyone or done any evil, and belong to the accomplices of gang crimes.

Don't think that the bandits are all vicious, in fact, it is not the case. Under the current situation in Dazhou, the green forest is not easy to mix.

In peaceful and prosperous times, if you obediently acted as the king of the mountain on the mountain, the general local government would not bother to take care of you. If the powerful cottage went down the mountain to plunder, as long as the damage caused was not large, the government with insufficient defense might not necessarily come to encircle and suppress you.

After all, those who can be bastards must be comfortable being bastards. If they lose some money and food, the government will pay less taxes and it will be over. The risk of suppressing bandits is too great and the benefits are too small.

But it’s different when it comes to murder. All homicide cases must be registered and filed upwards. The murder cases that are solved must be reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now this authority has been delegated to Dali Temple. Report to the Ministry of Penalties for the record.

So when it comes to killing people, things go up to another level.

In the current green forest, no one is qualified to kill. Killing is a symbol of the leader's glory.

Regarding this point, Yang Qingyuan hadn't thought about it for a long time. Why would the leader do it himself if he could let others do it?

But according to the current Green Forest, killing is the exclusive honor rule of high-level officials, and if anyone is wiped out, the leader of the cottage will be sentenced to death, and it is estimated that none of them will have to escape.

The situation in Yinlong Mountain is probably the same. Ordinary bandits are no different from the long-term servants of the landlord's house. Everyone also drinks porridge and eats wild vegetables every day.

Big mouthfuls of meat and big bowls of wine are the leader's treatment.

Bandits cannot be beaten to death with a single stick. Ordinary bandits are punished with one year of hard labor, and those who have injured or looted are punished with three to five years of hard labor.

When the surrender was just forced, Yang Qingyuan once said that he would not die if he surrendered, but there were also many murderous leaders among those who surrendered.

But since it has been said, the death penalty will not be imposed on the surface. Yang Qingyuan will not do such a thing that affects the credibility of the court.

But there are still opinions after the sentence. For example, the murderer was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, and then he was taken to mine or build a city wall in the north.

This is all done by serious criminals. Not to mention the near death, there are still four or six times, and this kind of place has been working for 15 years... You can taste it carefully.

At this time, Yang Qingyuan was still in the position of Chancellor of Dali Temple, and he directly started the public trial in the cottage, and held a complaint meeting to denounce the actions of the top management of the cottage.

On the contrary, this behavior won him the support of most of the low-level bandits. If it weren't for the hard life, ordinary people would not want to be bandits.

Most of the bandits were only sentenced to one year of hard labor, and then those who registered with their original place of origin would be sent back to their original place of origin, and those without registration would be registered on the spot. Within one year, they would not enjoy any preferential policies from the imperial court.

Such a result made most of the bandits very happy.

As for those with blood on their hands, Yang Qingyuan asked people to take them into custody first, and bring them back to the county for trial.

Even so, it took Yang Qingyuan two days.

Fortunately, before suppressing the bandits, Yang Qingyuan had already arranged the follow-up disaster relief work, and now that the food was in place, with Zhao Jianfeng's ability, there shouldn't be any trouble.

After being busy for two consecutive days, Yang Qingyuan was free to continue to pay attention to Liu Wangshu after he was free.

"What has Lady Liu been doing these two days?"

The six-door policeman on the side quickly said, "Nvxia Liu has been outside a cave for the past two days, what are you doing?"

"Cave!?"

Yang Qingyuan asked someone to call Li Dongming.

"Do you have any strange or special caves here?"

Li Dongming seemed to have thought of something, and immediately replied, "There is indeed one!"

"It's near the cliff at the back of Longyin Mountain. The saber on your waist was found by the previous generation of masters from the cave."

Listening to Li Dongming's words, Yang Qingyuan slowly pulled out the ancient sword from his waist.
