Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 18 Pleading for the Bandit

At this time, standing outside the granary surrounded by the fire was Zhao Qian and dozens of tenant farmers.

"Master, there are still a few robbers guarding property outside the village, and we have subdued them." Wang Shan walked to Zhao Qian and said.

Zhao Qian nodded, looking at the wailing figures in the fire, Zhao Qian also felt a little strange, after all, it was his own scheme that led to the death of these robbers.

Zhao Qian comes from a modern society, and he is quite in awe of life. Although the insider is a robber, it is the first time to kill Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian is still a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhao Qian also understands that in this chaotic era, if you don't harm others, it doesn't mean that others will not harm you. If you want to survive, you have to get rid of all those who threaten you!

The robbers in the fire were no longer a threat, and those who rushed out were all subdued by the tenant farmers. They had no fighting power for the time being, and most of the robbers were reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

The fire burned until dawn before it gradually extinguished. Although no one was injured in Zhao Qian's battle, several granaries and several houses were affected and burned to ashes.

When the tenant farmers who hid at night returned to the village, some of them wept unavoidably when they saw the scorched earth.

However, most of the tenant farmers were very excited, especially those who trained with Zhao Qian. They did not expect to defeat nearly sixty robbers.

This is why, of course, it is not because they are strong, but because they have a wise master, and it is the master's strategy that allows them to win the battle unscathed.

"Master, the Patriarch of the Su Mansion is here." Old Man Ge came to Zhao Qian and said.

Zhao Qian nodded. At dawn, Zhao Qian sent someone to deliver a letter to the Su Mansion.

After Su Quan heard the news, he was very excited and hurriedly led his people towards Dian Village.

"Ziyuan, it really is you. I didn't expect that the down-and-out young man would be able to repel the robbers today. I am really ashamed." Su Quan came to Zhao Qian and said.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and quickly returned the courtesy: "If Patriarch Su hadn't helped me back then, I would never have been able to make a living like this. The property over there was stolen by robbers. Patriarch Su can go and verify it."

Su Quan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to verify, I can trust Ziyuan too much."

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and changed the subject: "Yesterday, the Su family was robbed, why didn't Patriarch Su go to report to the officials, but just watched the house being robbed?"

Dissatisfaction flashed across Su Quan's face, he sighed, and said: "Yesterday, the county magistrate celebrated his birthday and had a big banquet in the government office. The servants in the county were all drunk. hateful!"

"The magistrate is here!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came, the county magistrate actually came, obviously he also received the news that the robbers entered the county to rob, but it was a big event!

Su Quan's face was not very good-looking, but he still walked forward and saluted: "Hi, magistrate, I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and the small gift prepared by Su, is the magistrate still satisfied?"

The county magistrate of Yi County, surnamed Mou, named Temple, styled Zongshun, was a little rich, and came down in front of Su Quan and Zhao Qian, surrounded by more than a dozen servants.

Mou Ci could hear something in Su Quan's words, and complained that he didn't send anyone to rescue him last night, but the Su family is quite powerful in Yi County, and Mou Ci should not be too strong.

"Patriarch Su, you are being polite. Last night, it was my official's negligence that allowed the thieves to sneak in. Please don't blame me." Mou Ci said with a smile.

Seeing that Su Quan stopped talking, Mou Ci turned his head to look at Zhao Qian, and couldn't help nodding and laughing: "Sure enough, he is a young hero, able to repel the robbers, I thank you."

"The county magistrate praised me, and I had no choice but to commit robbers." Zhao Qian said modestly.

Seeing that Zhao Qian was not proud of his achievements, Mou Ci was very satisfied, and said, "I guarantee that if these robbers come again next time, none of them will be let go."

"Master County Magistrate, those robbers are unlikely to come again, most of them were burned to death in the granary." Wang Shan said.

After hearing this, Mou Ci was taken aback, looked at Zhao Qian in disbelief, and asked, "Is this true?"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's true, there are so many bandits, so I have no choice but to lure them into the granary and attack them with fire. Except for a few dozen people, including the bandit leader, everyone Burn to death in the barn."

Zhao Qian's words made Su Quan, Mou Ci and the servants all gasp. They all knew the number of robbers last night, but they didn't expect that most of them died here.

"Ziyuan is courageous and knowledgeable, I admire him!" Mou Ci said, getting a lot closer to Zhao Qian's title.

Zhao Qian bowed slightly, and said: "Magistrate Mou, I think that the robbers came last night, just as the county magistrate celebrated his birthday. Someone must have communicated secretly, which made the robbers sneak in. Your lord still needs to be careful."

Mou Ci nodded after hearing this, and said: "What Ziyuan said is very true. Someone must have notified the robbers about the county affairs, otherwise he would not have chosen to come to rob last night."

"I have caught more than a dozen robbers, you can interrogate them." Zhao Qian said.

Seeing Mou Ci nodding, Zhao Qian ordered the tenant farmers to bring over a dozen captive robbers. They were either bruised and swollen, or their faces were scorched, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

"I'm asking you, if there is anyone in the county, please tell the truth quickly, or you will be executed!" Mou Ci shouted.

After a little silence, a robber suddenly said: "If I tell the truth, can my life be spared, and I swear that I will never be a robber again."

The other robbers also looked at the county magistrate expectantly, hoping to be forgiven.

Mou Ci rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you confess truthfully, the county can spare you from death."

The robber was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly said: "The reason why we came to rob is that we did know that the county magistrate held a banquet, and the servants were negligent."

"Who revealed the news to you?" Mou Ci asked sternly.

"It was Ding Yong in the county. He told us the news, and opened the city gate at night, and let me enter the city. Afterwards, our boss will share his share." The robber said.

After hearing this, Mou Ci was furious, and ordered loudly: "Come here, go and capture Ding Yong, join these robbers, and behead him for public display!"

The robber was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lord County Magistrate, I have confessed everything, why do you want to kill us? Just now you promised to bypass us. Could it be that Sir County Magistrate is not faithful?"

Mou Ci snorted coldly and said: "What kind of faith do you talk to these robbers? If you dare to violate our county, I will kill you!"

"you!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qian thought for a while, took a step forward and said, "Magistrate Mou, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Mou Ci was quite polite to Zhao Qian, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, you don't have to be polite, just speak up if you have something to say."

"I want to intercede for these captured robbers, and ask the county magistrate to save them from death. Is it possible?" Zhao Qian stared at Mou Temple and said with fists clasped.
