Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1085 Catch the Thief
"My lord, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

Luo Huang looked at Qin Tian and said something, Qin Tian nodded: "What is it?"

"We found that in the past two days, there are still people missing. Maybe the Immortal Sect is still abducting people."

Hearing that there were still people missing in the past two days, Qin Tian's expression changed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he showed a slight smile and said, "If there are still people missing, we might as well put some undercover agents in. In this way, we may be able to find the lair of the Immortal Cult."

Qin Tian's meaning was very simple, that is to find a few people to pretend to be lonely and helpless people, and then be kidnapped by those people from the Immortal Sect.

This method depends on luck. After all, Yongzhou City is so big, it may not be taught by the gods to find it, but if it can be operated a little bit, maybe one or two people may really get mixed in.

Luo Huang thought for a while and said, "My lord, leave this matter to me."

Qin Tian nodded, he believed in Luo Huang's ability, if Luo Huang wanted to be discovered by the Immortal Sect, it shouldn't be difficult.

Luo Huang was ordered to retreat, and Qin Tian found Hu Shiba here.

"Although Yang Kang was killed, those prisoners have been released. Many of these people are indeed dangerous. We must find a way to arrest them as soon as possible. Take someone to Kang Yang County is in charge of this matter, and after we go there, we will first post a notice, and anyone who is willing to surrender himself will have his sentence reduced, and after three days, if he still does not voluntarily bring himself to justice, he will be killed without pardon after he is caught."

Prisoners have escaped, and if they are caught, the crimes will be aggravated. I am afraid that those prisoners will be more unwilling to surrender, and they will find various ways to escape, which actually increases the difficulty of arresting.

So Qin Tian used commutation of sentence as a bait to get those prisoners to surrender themselves.

However, if the time limit is exceeded and there are still people who are still at large outside, then he, Qin Tian, ​​will never spare them.

Even if it makes the arrest more difficult, he will make those people pay the price.

After Hu Shiba understood, he took some of them to Kangyang County.

After arriving in Kangyang County, Hu Shiba followed Qin Tian's instructions and posted notices encouraging those prisoners to surrender themselves.

However, after the notice was posted, many people thought it was a joke.

"Interesting, Mr. Qin is really interesting. You said those prisoners have already escaped. Will they surrender themselves?"

"Whoever says no, even if the sentence is reduced, I'm afraid some people will refuse to go back."

"That's for sure, who wants to go into the cell again?"

"However, if you are caught, you will be killed without mercy. This is too dangerous."

"Let's see the situation..."

Many people were talking about it, thinking that those prisoners would not surrender, and those prisoners were also very entangled.

If they surrendered, their sentences would definitely be commuted. Qin Tian's words were still credible, but they really didn't want to go to prison, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

While these prisoners were watching, Hu Shiba had already led the mad army to search for the prisoners in Kangyang County.

They are fast because they are equipped with police dogs.

On the first day they came to Kangyang County, Hu Shiba caught an escaped prisoner.

This prisoner was only in his twenties. He was a gangster in Kangyang County and a pickpocket. He was arrested because he stole something.

Although the matter of stealing things is against the law, it is definitely a trivial matter. If he is willing to surrender, he will be locked up for a few more days at most, and then released.

But he didn't take it seriously.

After being caught by the guards, he didn't feel anything, after all, he just stole something.

However, after the guards caught him, they smiled coldly: "If you were told to surrender, if you don't surrender, if you are arrested now, your life will be in danger."

Hearing this, the prisoner immediately said: "I'm just a thief, it's not a big crime, why is my life in danger?"

"Stealing things is not a serious crime, but escaping from prison is considered a serious crime, and it is a serious crime if you don't surrender, so it is not wrong to kill you."

After all, the guard didn't hesitate and slashed at him with a knife. Before the prisoner could react, his head fell to the ground.

The weather was hot, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.

The buzzing of flies was incessant.

The news that a pickpocket was caught and killed because he did not turn himself in quickly spread in Kangyang County.

After the news spread, everyone was shocked.

"Isn't it true that a pickpocket was killed after being caught because he didn't turn himself in?"

"This... this is too unbelievable, this is simply disregarding human life."

"Who says no? Young Master Qin is too ruthless. If so, who would dare to surrender?"

"No, I think it makes sense for Young Master Qin to do this. These people have escaped from prison. Prison escape is a serious crime, so they can be killed naturally. Moreover, Young Master Qin gave him a chance. If he surrendered himself, his sentence would be reduced. It's strange that the pickpocket didn't surrender himself. who?"

"Hmph, I just think that Young Master Qin is taking people's lives in a reckless way. Surely no one will turn himself in?"

"Oh, how about we take a gamble and see if anyone surrenders?"

"........."

The random killing of a pickpocket caused differences among the people in Kangyang County, and they were all waiting for the follow-up to happen.

But those prisoners, at this time, began to tremble with fear.

A pickpocket was killed after being caught, so wouldn't they be killed if they were caught for more serious crimes than stealing?

If they turn themselves in, will their sentence be commuted?

They were still hesitating, but when they saw that the mad demon army was constantly searching for the prisoners, they became more and more worried, worried that they would also be caught.

When their wills gradually collapsed, some people finally couldn't help but surrendered.

This person was charged with serious crimes and would be imprisoned for several years. After he surrendered, Hu Shiba did not punish him. Not only did he not punish him, but he even commuted his sentence.

This made the prisoner a little ecstatic, almost moved to tears.

And the news spread quickly.

"What, after surrendering himself, was his sentence really commuted?"

"Is it true that Young Master Qin only gave you three days?"

"No, we have to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise we will die after being caught."

"The whole world belongs to the Tang Dynasty. If we can escape there, we should hurry up and surrender..."

After comparing the two, these escaped prisoners soon had their own choices. Instead of fleeing in fear, it would be better to surrender directly and wait for a commutation of sentence.

Prisoners flocked to the county government to surrender...
