Chapter 165 The Dust Settles
Because everything happened so quickly, the bandits entrenched here who figured out what happened were basically executed on the spot because of their stubborn resistance, while others who were still at a loss were tied up and gathered in an open space.

It was not in vain for Cui Xizhuo to train these days. The county soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time were all intact except for a few minor injuries. This time the bandit suppression was a complete victory.

"Bah!" The third master who was tied up still looked unconvinced and yelled: "Dog officer! What kind of hero is a sneak attack? If you have the ability to let grandpa go, I will start over!"

Wang Hang, who was usually polite and cowardly, unexpectedly got angry. He went up and gave the Third Leader a slap in the face unceremoniously.

"What face do you have to scold people!" Wang Hang scolded while kicking, "Have you ever thought about those ordinary people who were looted and killed by you?"

There is no other reason. During the period when Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu "disappeared", the three leaders were still unscrupulous. Once they even harassed the vicinity of the county seat, and were spotted by the sentry at the city gate and informed Wang Hang.

Afterwards, Cui Xizhuo led a team to the village with Wang Hang, but it was a pity that it was still a step late.

When they arrived, the third leader and his group had already left, and the entire village was engulfed in flames. The ground was littered with the corpses of the rebellious villagers.

The smell of burnt wood, the smell of burnt straw mixed with the smell of burnt human flesh, Wang Hang, who saw this scene for the first time, crawled to the side with a "wow" and vomited. After that, he continued to do it for half a month. nightmare.

Wang Hang recalled that scene, the force under his feet became heavier and heavier, and the screams of the third leader became more and more piercing. In the end, Xiao Qishu couldn't stand it anymore and asked two county soldiers to pull him away.

He returned to Kushui County with more than 200 bandits.

When the refugees who were building the camp heard the triumphant return of the county soldiers, they came to both sides of the road one by one, and some even got rotten leaves from nowhere.

"You beasts! Give my son back his life!"

"Beast! God has eyes!"

While cursing, the common people smashed the bandits with rotten vegetable leaves.

The prison cell in Kushui County is not large, and more than 200 people are packed into it.

As for the bandit chieftain and some small leaders, Wang Hang decided to interrogate them publicly in front of all the people, so as to make an example of others.

San was immediately escorted to the county government office with heavy wooden shackles and shackles, while the other small leaders were handcuffed and shackled.

There were heavily armed government officials standing on both sides. Xiao Qishu temporarily acted as the master. Cui Xizuo sat on the left side of the county magistrate, while Song Qingyou and Cheng Yuxi stood behind him to watch the excitement.

Snapped!
As soon as the alarm bell sounded, Wang Hang shouted: "The prisoners in this hall will report their names."

Liao San, the third master, was picked up since he was a child, and he has been growing up in Qingfengzhai. Ran Ji and the two also took care of him as his younger brothers, so his personality was also very perverse. He always felt that the boss was his second child. than anyone else.

Therefore, after the death of the head of the family, he moved his mind and wanted to control the entire Qingfeng Village.

Now that Cui Xizuo had uprooted the foundation he had relied on for many years with lightning speed, he finally felt a little scared.

"The villain Zhang Mu." This was the man with the deer head and rat eyes who led the people to harass Qingfeng Village that day, and he lived up to his name.

"The villain Liao San is the third master of Qingfeng Village."

"You bastard!" A scolding came from the gate of the county government office, "You are so evil, don't drag Qingfengzhai!" It turned out that it was Ran Ji, the second head of the family who had heard the news.

Liao San turned his head when he heard the words, and his eyes turned red when he saw Ran Ji, "Second brother, I know I was wrong!"

When death was imminent and she knew she regretted it, Song Qingyou sneered, "Crocodile tears."

"Quiet!" Wang Hang patted the gavel again, "Prisoner Liao San has been involved in numerous crimes of burning, killing, and looting by bandits. After a rough estimate, three villages including Zhaojia Village were looted, and hundreds of passing merchants were looted in Yixian Valley. Do you have any objections to this?"

"I... I was all bewitched! It's all him!" Liao San said while pointing at Zhang Mu, "It was he who said that there is no point in living a poor life in Qingfengzhai. Why don't you find some money?" road."

"Brother, you!" Zhang Mu didn't seem to expect this to happen, and couldn't say anything for a while.

Wang Hang already hated Liao San and the others, but now that he is such a daredevil, he feels even more disgusted, and his tone gradually becomes dissatisfied, "I'm asking you if you did it!"

This is unavoidable no matter what, not to mention the more than 200 people who are still in prison, even many people present have seen him commit crimes.

"Yes." Liao San could only admit in desperation.

Wang Hang glanced at Xiao Qishu, who nodded slightly, "Please take a look at this confession. If you have no objections, sign it and sign it."

A yamen servant came forward and put Xiao Qishu's written confession in front of Liao San, with pens, ink and red clay beside him.

The evidence was conclusive, and Ran Ji was not moved by the torture scheme. Liao San naturally knew that there was no hope of escape, so he signed and signed without even looking.

The yamen servant put the confession on Wang Hang's table, and he read: "The prisoner Liao San, entangled with the rogue to occupy the mountain as king, burned, killed and looted the people and passing merchants several times, burned and looted all kinds of crimes, and now the evidence is convincing and he confessed, according to the law. Sentenced to be beheaded, to be reported to the superior, and executed in a few days."

"it is good!"

"The county magistrate is wise!"

Cheers erupted from the onlookers.

Liao San knelt down in the lobby in despair, while Ran Ji left silently with red eyes.

As for Zhang Mu, because he was an accomplice, he was sentenced to prison, and then sent to the border to build the city wall for ten years.

At this point, the banditry problem in Kushui County has been completely resolved.

Since the food problem was solved, Kushui County has been developing better and better. Nowadays, restaurants, inns, silk shops and other shops have begun to appear in the county, and more and more merchants are coming and going.

As soon as Wang Hang took office, he solved such a major event. He acted as the host and entertained Song Qingyou and others at the newly opened restaurant in the county.

He took the lead in picking up a glass of wine, got up and said: "This is the first time I have been working in another place since Zhongju, and I am grateful to Wang Hang for taking care of you during this period of time!" After finishing speaking, he drank it down.

For this young man who had just come out of the Hanlin Academy and was inexperienced in world affairs, whether it was Song Qingyou, Xiao Qishu or Cui Xizuo, they all had the mentality of guiding their younger generations.

Fortunately, Wang Hang also strives for success, has been working hard and dedicated, and accepts guidance with an open mind. In time, he will be a rare and good official.

It stands to reason that Cui Xizhuo should have returned to Beijing when the county magistrate's death case was over. Now that he had stayed for so long, it was really too late, so today's meal also became a farewell banquet.
