"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

When the two sturdy-tied would-be robbers saw Lin Haoran slapping their horses over, they begged loudly for mercy.

Lin Haoran looked at the distance of the road, but still didn't see any sign of reinforcements, so he turned his head to look at them and said coldly: "Spare your life? It's just that you are evil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now you are here to slaughter the people of Leizhou, how can this government spare you! ”

"My lord, I am wronged! We just translated for them, and we didn't kill anyone! Look at my hand, it's the hand with the knife! The former interpreter shouted loudly.

Lin Haoran looked at them condescendingly, and still said coldly, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Recruit them one by one! If there is half a lie, this government will let them correct the Fa on the spot! ”

The two widows were frightened, and the interpreter hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't dare to lie!" The villain's real name is Lu Yong, and he is Chang San, a military household of Huizhou Wei. The two of us wanted to beg for food at sea, so we followed Xu Weixue's fleet to Japan with the goods, but the tea we brought was soaked in seawater. had no choice but to continue to stay in Japan, and could have been taken care of by Xu Weixue, but was later captured by Lord Osumi to work as a coolie. ”

"Xu Weixue? Xu Hai's uncle? Lin Haoran's tone was slightly softened.

"That's right! Right! Xu Weixue was Xu Hai's uncle, and later I learned that Xu Weixue was defeated by the official army in Guangdong and fell into the sea and died. It's just that he borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from Lord Osumi, and Lord Osumi thought he was fleeing with the money, so he poured his anger on us! Lu Yong nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and his eyes secretly moved up, but he didn't dare to continue to lift up when he reached the horse's feet.

"And then?" Lin Haoran continued to ask noncommittally.

"We stayed in Osumi for three years, but fortunately we were rescued by the old helmsman, and we were able to return to China with their fleet at the end of last year!" Lu Yong said at the end, his voice became significantly quieter.

"Then why did you become a widow again?" Lin Haoran snorted softly and asked in a cold voice.

"My lord, you look at the way we are now, in fact, we can't go back to home!" Chang San, who had been silent, pointed to his head and added: "And I am from a military household, and I have escaped twice before, and if I go back, I will have to deal with it according to military law, and I will be beheaded directly!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at Chang San, looking at his body is not bad, and he doesn't look like a treacherous person. I'm afraid I can't blame them all, if they weren't too oppressed, I'm afraid there are really few people who are willing to go to the sea.

It's just that he has never been a person who is overflowing with sympathy, and asked in a deep voice: "A few days ago, did you do the destruction of the village in Xuwen County?" ”

"Xu He did it, he's a madman!" Lu Yong and Chang San said in unison.

"Xu He?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly.

Lu Yong immediately explained to him: "Xu He is Xu Weixue's nephew, and he also came back from Japan. And he knew that the two of us were desperate, so he approached us and wanted to pull us in! ”

"Actually, it's not to pull us in, it's to force us to join the gang!" Chang San added next to him, pointing to Yamada Ichiro's corpse over there with his chin and said, "I didn't agree at the time, but Yamada Ichiro threatened us with a knife, so we had to join them." ”

"How many of you have come ashore this time, and for what?" Lin Haoran's tone softened, and the murderous intent in his eyes was gone.

"Chen He brought nearly sixty people ashore, it should be for the Chen family's wealth, I heard that the Chen family's silver treasury has 100,000 taels of silver!" Lu Yong frowned and said in a speculative tone.

"Where did this news come from?" Lin Haoran suddenly had some doubts, and asked puzzledly.

"The second boss of the Blue Flag Gang told us!" Lu Yong replied honestly.

Hearing that it was the Blue Flag Gang, Lin Haoran came to a little spirit, and asked a few more questions. It's just a pity that these two people know almost nothing about the Blue Flag Gang and don't have anything too valuable.

After this interrogation, Lin Haoran also had no killing intent, so he raised his hand and asked people to escort him back to the city, and then look back and deal with it.

"My lord, please save us, our two brothers are willing to make cattle and horses for you!" Lu Yong was a shrewd person, and he knew that this escort back to the city would inevitably lead to death, so he kowtowed loudly.

After a while, a large number of people rushed over. Thanks to the smooth passage of this avenue, the marching speed has been greatly increased, and it is more possible to rely on this avenue to transport military supplies.

When these Lei Zhou guards saw the blood and corpses on the ground, they were also very shocked to learn that they had annihilated more than 20 widows, and their eyes flashed with envy at the same time.

Lin Haoran personally greeted this 200-strong army, and after greeting Zhang Tongzhi, who was led by him, he asked directly: "What about Commander Yang?" ”

"Commander Yang is sick!" Zhao Qianhu replied.

Zhang Tongzhi said jokingly: "Yang Mouse is suffering from war disease!" Once there is a war, you will definitely be bedridden, and I am afraid that the imperial doctor in the capital will be able to cure it. ”

Lei Zhouwei's commander Wei is called Yang Shu, but he has been reading books for several years, but because he is as timid as a mouse, many people call him Yang Mouse behind his back. It's just that he was born well, and he was born as a hereditary servant, and now he has survived to the command of Leizhou Wei.

When Lin Haoran first started, he hoped that Yang Shu could become a cadre to eliminate all the bandits in Leizhou Mansion internally, and to ensure the peace of Leizhou Mansion externally.

But after a few contacts, I found that Yang Shu was not only timid, but also completely unassertive, and had no military talent. It is no wonder that Zhang Tongzhi dared to ridicule him in public, and he was directly commensurate with Yang Mouse.

However, Zhang Tongzhi really doesn't seem to need to be afraid, after all, the power of the Wei Commander is not great.

The comrades and officials of the guard station have their own division of labor as deputy positions, and the main thing is to disperse the power of the commander and envoy, so as to avoid the concentration of military power in the hands of one person, which has the meaning of containing each other.

In the real wartime, the commander-in-chief was in the hands of him, the prefect of Leizhou, and Yang Shu could only wait for him to send him.

Lin Haoran shook his head helplessly, accepted the fact that Lei Zhouwei had an incompetent commander, and turned to Zhao Qianhu and said: "Zhao Qianhu, we have already interrogated, and they still have a gang of about thirty people!" Now you are leading people directly to Hebei Village to encircle and suppress them, and strive to leave them all behind! ”

"The last general commands!" Zhao Qianhu saluted respectfully, and then prepared to order.

Seeing that Lin Haoran took these people and actually killed more than 20 Japanese robbers, he was in awe in his heart. For those who really do things, he is convinced from the heart.

Zhang Tongzhi's brows furrowed slightly, and a wave of dissatisfaction swelled in his heart when Lin Haoran directly surpassed his order.
