After receiving the order from Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, the soldiers under his command quickly rushed into the stronghold and killed all the remaining bandits without sparing any one!
There was a strong smell of blood in the air that lingered for a long time.
"Master Governor, please come over here, we found out..."
At this moment, Wang Yong quietly stepped forward and came to Tan Lun's side with a troubled expression on his face.
"Oh, what did you find?"
Tan Lun said, then followed Wang Yong's footsteps and entered the Black Wind Stronghold.
Nowadays, the entire Black Wind Village is in a state of disrepair after the previous indiscriminate bombings. There are potholes everywhere. If you stop and smell carefully, you can still smell the smell of gunpowder that has not completely dispersed.
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers were carrying the body of the bandit. Seeing Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, coming in person, they quickly put the body down and saluted respectfully.
"I've met the governor!"
"Um."
Tan Lun just nodded to this and then quickened his pace.
Under the leadership of Wang Yong, Tan Lun came to a hidden room. Before he entered the door, a crying sound came from inside.
When Tan Lun heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He turned his eyes to Wang Yong and said nothing.
Seeing this, Wang Yong shook his head, then sighed and said helplessly.
"Sir Governor, inside are these bandits from Black Wind Stronghold, who have kidnapped women from all over for their lustful pleasures."
"Just now, the official has sent people in to take a look. The woman inside has long lost her mind due to long-term inhuman torture, and has become crazy and inhuman."
After listening to Wang Yong's narration, Tan Lun had some mental preparation for the scene he might see when he entered the room later.
Then, Tan Lun took a deep breath, and after calming down, he opened the door to the room.
Just hearing a "squeak", the door of the room was pushed open by Tan Lun.
At this moment, when more than a dozen women in the room saw Tan Lun pushing the door open, they immediately huddled in the corner almost subconsciously, their faces full of fear, and they kept mumbling something incomprehensible. Discourse.
The stench in the room was abnormal, and there were all kinds of excrement piled up in the corner. Most of the dozen women were wearing only a tattered single dress, and even worse, they were almost naked. He was wearing only a bellyband all over his body.
Tan Lun just stood there in silence for a long time, just when he was about to take a step forward and make a move.
The group of women huddled in the corner suddenly lost their minds, looked panicked, began to cry and howl, and kept retreating towards the wall.
"Ah, don't come over here!"
"Do not touch me!"
"Please let me go, my parents are still waiting for me at home."
"Lu Lang, Lu Lang..."
Tan Lun just stood there, not daring to make any more moves for fear of irritating them.
After these people calmed down, Tan Lun tried to speak.
"I am Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian! Just now, all the bandits in Heifeng Village have been wiped out by the imperial army. In other words, you can go home."
However, Tan Lun's words were like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without any response.
After a long time, an inaudible murmur came from the corner.
"Go...home?"
"Yes, that's right, the bandits in Black Wind Village have been completely wiped out by the imperial army. You can go home!"
Upon seeing this, Tan Lun repeated what he had just said.
After a moment, a woman in single clothes with scars all over her body was seen. She barely supported her body, stood up from the corner, turned her eyes to Tan Lun, and then smiled miserably.
"Sir, we can't go back."
"Please help me, sir, and prepare some fire coupons for us!"
After hearing this, the expression on Tan Lun's face remained unchanged, but his slightly trembling body and tightly clenched fists still betrayed him.
Due to excessive force, the nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and traces of blood came out.
At this moment, Tan Lun couldn't feel any pain at all, and he was almost swallowed by anger.
After a long time, Tan Lun lowered his head and said slowly.
"I'm late."
"My lord, you don't have to blame yourself. You can lead an army here and kill all these bandits who do all kinds of evil. It can be regarded as revenge for us and the people who have been tortured by them."
Hearing Tan Lun's words, the woman from before smiled and then responded.
Her face was also covered with scars, some of which had scabbed over, while others had become red and swollen, and there were still long-lasting bruises around her eyes.
"Well, I agree to your request."
After Tan Lun finished speaking, it seemed that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore and hurriedly looked away.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
Seeing that her request was met, the woman from before ignored the pain radiating from all over her body and forced herself to salute Tan Lun respectfully.
"Do you have any other requests? Just tell me and I will satisfy them for you!"
Immediately, Tan Lun turned his gaze to the group of women still huddled in the corner and said slowly.
"Sir, it's no need. We just want to be freed as soon as possible."
The woman from before shook her head and responded.
Tan Lun knew very well that these people in front of him had already decided to die and stopped trying to persuade them.
Even if they were rescued by force, it would be of no avail.
Not to mention anything else, just the criticism from their neighbors and all kinds of rumors are not something they can bear!
Rather than doing this, it would be better to get them out as soon as possible.
After thinking about this, Tan Lun took steps and walked out of the room.
"My Lord Governor, you..."
As soon as Tan Lun walked out of the room, Wang Yong immediately came up to him with a look of worry on his face.
"Leave some fire notes for them later."
After Tan Lun finished these instructions, he left without saying a word.
"well!"
Wang Yong on the side sighed helplessly, and after instructing the soldiers on the side to leave a few fire sticks, he took three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly followed Tan Lun's pace.
Shortly after Tan Lun left, a raging fire broke out in the previous room.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we can go home soon."
After softly comforting everyone, the woman from before just lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, her expression calm, and she let the flames devour her.
In a daze, she seemed to have really returned to the home she had longed for. The familiar furnishings in the room, her always busy mother, and her unsmiling father all made her miss her so much.
There seemed to be a line of clear tears sliding down the corner of his eyes.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
…
After Tan Lun left Heifeng Village, he immediately ordered his soldiers to burn the place to ashes with a fire.
"I am passing on my order. From now on, all bandits or people who collude with bandits will be eliminated regardless of the reason!"
Tan Lun turned his gaze to Wang Yong and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Wang Yong on the side saw this and immediately responded.
Soon, this order was passed to the ears of ordinary soldiers through the general beside him.
Tan Lun's order is undoubtedly good news for this group of soldiers. The more people they kill, the greater the credit will be, and the more rewards they will receive!
And soon, after a short rest, the army led by Tan Lun began the operation to wipe out the bandits again.
This time, the army adopted more bloody methods and did not accept any form of surrender.
After killing the bandits, they also cut off their heads and hung the rest of their bodies upside down on a tree as a warning to others!
