Soon, a team composed of Xichang spies left Xiong County.
There were only a dozen of them, dressed like merchants, and they left the city.
Since they brought a lot of big firecrackers, they also specially prepared a carriage, so it was not noticeable that they were merchants.
On the other side, Shu Xiaoxiao took the waiter and County Magistrate Chen back to the inn where Yang Dong lived.
Seeing Yang Dong still sitting at the wooden table drinking tea, Shu Mouse was so stupid that he came over.
"Mr. Yang, fortunately, we have successfully completed the task assigned by you. That guy is one of the mountain bandits."
"Someone, bring him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two West Factory secret agents escorting Han Xiaoer over.
At this moment, Han Xiaoer only felt horrified in his heart. It was obvious that the adult just now was so oppressed that I couldn't breathe. But now, he is actually trying to please another man.
And looking at his young age, could it be that... he is the real big man behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Han Xiaoer's thoughts gradually became clear. In other words, what can ultimately determine your life or death is just a word from the other party.
So he no longer hesitated and knelt down on the ground with a plop and said:
"Sir, please spare my life, I know I was wrong!"
"I know I was wrong."
Yang Dong scratched his head, a casual look on his cheeks.
"Do you want to die or live?"
"Of course I want to live. Please be kind to me and spare my life. I'm just a cow and a horse, so I will definitely repay your kindness!"
"There is no need to act like a cow or a horse."
Yang Dong shook his head, turned to look at Shu Mouse with a flattering look on his face and asked:
"How many people did these bandits capture in the end?"
"About two hundred people, now they have all been captured and imprisoned in the county government office."
"There are quite a few people."
Yang Dong nodded and continued:
"In that case, send them to Youzhou. They will be treated like ordinary bandits."
As soon as these words came out, a look of panic appeared on Han Xiaoer's cheeks.
He knelt down and kowtowed again to beg for mercy:
"My lord, please do well. Youzhou is now the territory of the Hou Jin people. When we get there, there is no way to survive. It is no different than committing suicide!"
"Who said you would be sent to the battlefield to fight against the Houjin people?"
Yang Dong frowned and said disdainfully:
"You guys, facing the Houjin Iron Cavalry, are like a mantis trying to use you as a chariot."
At this time, Shu Shuxiao knew that he should speak, so he immediately started to explain.
"Why don't you get up quickly! Mr. Yang is sparing your lives and letting you go to Youzhou to build official roads."
"Building official roads?"
When Han Xiaoer heard this, his expression immediately became much better. But he still shook his head and was about to kneel down.
But this time, Shu Mouse grabbed his collar directly from behind.
"Why, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"The little ones don't dare, but since we let the little ones work, why don't we let everyone have a full meal first? To be honest, the nobles, the little ones have been hungry for several days, and can only drink some soup and water to satisfy their hunger. "
"Just think of yourself as a good person and let us have a good meal before we die!"
Yang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"Why, you work as bandits on weekdays, don't you have enough to eat?"
Hearing this question, Han Xiaoer almost cried.
"My lord, you don't know something. Although we are bandits, we don't have many targets to rob. Wealthy businessmen have special guards, so there is no need to say more. People from the yamen, we don't have this. How courageous. In the end, I just found some small businessmen and hawkers to do it. But the money in their hands was pitiful. "
When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but fell into silence.
Those who bully the weak and fear the strong are the most hateful, but there are the most people of this type in the world.
And it is precisely because of the existence of these people that the lives of the people at the bottom have become increasingly difficult.
Until a certain threshold is passed, ordinary people can no longer live, and then they rise up and enter the next reincarnation.
Yang Dong sighed softly, suddenly feeling that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavy.
Fortunately, Yourong was on the same side as him, otherwise it might not be that easy to reform Da Zhou.
At this moment, Yang Dong no longer thought of teasing Han Xiaoer and said directly:
"You go ahead, Xiu Guan Dao is short of manpower right now. As long as you work hard, you are guaranteed two meals a day. If you perform well, you might even get a silver reward."
When Han Xiaoer heard this, he couldn't help but froze.
He looked at Yang Dong blankly and was silent for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked:
"I dare to ask what the noble man said, is it true?"
"presumptuous!"
Shu Mouse slapped Han Xiaoer on the back of the head and said coldly:
"Mr. Yang's eloquent words, why did you lie to a little person like you?"
"As long as you obey the orders, I won't let you go hungry. Of course, anyone who dares to cheat will be killed or buried!"
However, Han Xiaoer seemed to only hear the first sentence and not the second sentence at all. He immediately stood up impatiently, looking excited.
"In that case, please ask the adults to lead the way. Let's go to work earlier and eat earlier."
This wave of operations immediately stunned Yang Dong and Shu Shu.
They were about to speak when they suddenly caught a glimpse of Magistrate Chen on the side and came over pitifully.
He hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Sir...if it's convenient, can you ask the people in Xiong County to come and help? We don't want any money, just take care of the food."
Yang Dong knew that the situation in Xiong County was relatively difficult. But now, he really can't spare the energy to run this place. So he pondered for a moment and said:
"In this case, you go back and publicize it in the county, saying that Youzhou is building official roads, and the safety is guaranteed by the government. As long as you are willing to go, in addition to taking care of the food, you will also be paid. Of course, the premise is that you have to work hard. OK."
"I understand, I understand!"
Magistrate Chen's excited hands trembled slightly, and his yellowed cheeks began to turn rosy.
"By the way, there are also those women and children. If you can help, you can go over and help. However, you have to handle personnel management in Xiong County yourself. Moreover, when we build officialdom, we distribute according to work, so there is less work. The wages are also low. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Chen's expression became more and more excited.
His eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, are you sure women and children are allowed?"
Yang Dong thought for a while, nodded and said:
"There's nothing wrong with it. Let's talk about food and clothing first, and then talk about other things. If we don't have enough food, it's useless to say anything."
"I'll leave this matter to you, do it well."
When County Magistrate Chen heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He suddenly looked at Yang Dong very seriously, and then bowed deeply.
"Your kindness will be remembered by the people of Xiong County for five years. Please accept it and pay your respects!"
