Heisan and the village chief rushed towards the village like a gust of wind.
On the way, one of his men said to Heisan: "Your Majesty, are we really going to rob the village?"
Heisan nodded and said, "Yes, what else?"
The subordinate said: "Those villagers actually don't have much money, and they are poor and stingy. It would be a bit of a loss to rob them."
Heisan said: "A bit of a loss?"
The subordinates hummed: "Now that the poor people have the support of the imperial court, they are all unscrupulous. If we really rob them, I wonder if they will attack us in groups?"
Heisan hesitated for a moment and looked at his dozen or so brothers.
If all the villagers rebelled, it would be difficult to control them.
Hei San frowned and thought for a while, then said to his subordinates: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
The subordinate said: "I think we should wash our hands in a golden basin and quit doing good things."
Hei San was a little reluctant to give up.
He said to his men: "Although the people in the village are very poor, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat."
Seeing Hei San's insistence, the subordinate quickly coughed and said, "Yes, the king is right. Maybe we can go to the village first and see the situation before we talk."
Heisan nodded with satisfaction.
His subordinates are smart and know that disobeying Black Three's wishes will not end well, so it's better to just follow what he says.
So, Heisan and his men rushed into Gumai Village like a gust of wind.
…………
The villagers of Gumai Village are tearfully accusing the village chief.
The village chief escaped and has sent people to catch him, but he has not been caught yet.
But it doesn't matter. Although the village chief is absent, his children and grandchildren are still there.
The children and grandchildren were somewhat dissatisfied and said to several police officers: "Didn't you say that if we surrender ourselves, we can avoid the death penalty? Why did you lie to me?"
The patrolmen said calmly: "Could it be that you were beheaded? What did I lie to you?"
The descendants were stunned for a moment and were a little speechless.
It is true that the beheading has not happened yet, but looking at this posture, it is not far away.
Isn't it a bit late to wait until the person's head falls to the ground to cry out that he was wronged?
The descendants of the village chief were very dissatisfied, but they didn't say it out loud.
Those villagers told them all the bad things they had done one by one.
When these things were said, the villagers were filled with indignation, and many wanted to rush up and beat up the village chief's descendants.
The descendants of the village chief were a little scared. They estimated that if these patrolmen hadn't been at the scene to stop and maintain order, they would have been beaten to death.
However, they did not believe that the patrol was to save them.
These patrol officers are often there to fan the flames.
They are like fire workers. When the fire is too strong, they add less firewood. When the fire is not strong enough, they add less firewood.
The village chief's descendants looked at each other, with deep regret in their eyes.
If I had known that I would end up in such a situation today, I might as well have killed these patrol officers directly.
They regretted it.
If given another chance, they would never give up.
At this moment, there was a rush of horse hooves outside the village.
The descendants of the village chief shuddered: "Are the officers and soldiers coming? The officers and soldiers came to kill people?"
A few seconds later, the sound of horse hooves entered the village.
The village chief's children and grandchildren immediately recognized him as the bandit Heisan.
They were immediately overjoyed.
They knew the bandit Heisan. Heisan is a good friend of the village chief, and the two often drink and chat together.
The village chief's children and grandchildren shouted loudly: "Brother Hei, kill them quickly and save us."
Heisan was hesitant at first, but he became even more hesitant when he heard the village chief's descendants shouting like this.
It seems that the situation in Gumai Village is not optimistic enough.
The village chief was forced to leave, and his children and grandchildren were arrested.
this……
Hei San looked at the vigilant villagers, and especially noticed that several villagers still had weapons in their hands.
He hesitated.
At this time, the villagers were also very scared.
Yes, the villagers are indeed very vigilant, and under the organization of patrols, they indeed dare to fight against the three black men.
However, they are honest villagers after all, not bandits like Heisan who are used to robbing homes.
Many villagers looked at the patrolman.
The patrolman smiled slightly and said to them: "It doesn't matter. With His Majesty's blessing and the banished immortal's blessing, what can these thieves dare to do?"
When the villagers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they said to the patrol: "What if these people really want to deal with us?"
The patrolman held the sword in his hand: "Then kill them."
The villagers nodded vigorously, with a look of solemnity on their faces.
In fact, they were extremely scared.
Hei San looked at these people, and the more he looked at them, the more uneasy he felt.
He could feel that these villagers were no longer the same villagers as before.
Just like a cow, when faced with a fierce beast, it can only be slaughtered by others.
But a herd of cows goes crazy and charge towards you. Even the king of beasts has to stay away from him.
Heisan's mind was spinning very fast, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the village chief behind him.
The village chief was riding a horse and looking at the villagers with a proud look on his face. He was about to join forces with Heisan to punish the villagers, but unexpectedly, he was brought out by Heisan.
"Brother Hei, what are you..." The village chief only said half of his words before Hei San threw him in front of his horse.
The village chief fell to the ground so hard that his arms and legs almost fell apart.
Hei San looked at the village chief and sneered, then shook his fist at the patrolman and said, "Sir, we have come to surrender. We hope that the court will be lenient and forgive our sins. In order to show sincerity, our brothers arrested the village chief. , take the blame and make meritorious deeds."
The patrolman was stunned, the villagers were also stunned, the village chief and his descendants were all stunned.
No one expected that things would develop in this direction.
The patrolman was the first to react. After all, he was a member of the imperial court, so he reacted very quickly.
They looked at Hei San, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, okay. Those who know the current affairs are heroes."
The surrounding villagers immediately relaxed and looked at Heisan with a victor's attitude.
I don’t know who shouted: “Long live the banished immortal, long live your majesty.”
So, the villagers shouted loudly: "Long live the banished immortal, long live your majesty."
Among them, Hei San’s voice was the loudest.
Heisan raised his hands in the air with a very excited expression. If you hadn't known that he was a bandit before, you would have thought that he had always been loyal to the court and was a very loyal minister.
After the villagers' excitement had subsided, the patrolman said: "Since you have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, you must be given a lighter sentence. But..."
Heisan's heart immediately rose to his throat.
The patrolman said: "However, I wonder if you have committed any crime before? If the crime is too serious, I'm afraid I can't forgive you. My job is very minor, and I don't have that much ability to promise you anything."
Heisan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, we didn't do much harm. We just robbed things and scared the villagers."
The patrolman said, "Have you never killed anyone?"
Hei San shook his head in embarrassment: "I haven't killed anyone before, so I don't dare to kill anyone."
Patrolman: "..."
Isn't that a good thing if you haven't killed anyone? Why is this guy looking so embarrassed?
The patrolman didn't know that bandits actually had a chain of contempt.
Those who openly want to rebel, such as Xiang Liang, are the top traffic among rebels. No matter where they go, they must be respected by others.
In addition to this, those who take the initiative to rob homes and rob people are second-rate traffic. Because they dare to go out and attack, which is very admirable.
The second one is to guard a mountain or a dangerous intersection and rob merchants coming and going. From time to time, he kills people to establish his authority.
This kind of person can be considered ruthless, but after all, he just waits and waits, which makes people less admirable.
Apart from these people, the only ones left are people like Hei San. Want money rather than life.
He also often shows his teeth and claws, which looks scary, but is actually just a bluff.
Such bandits are at the lowest end of the contempt chain.
Usually when Hei San meets his comrades, he always brags about how powerful he is, killing countless people with heads rolling under his sword.
But this time, Heisan didn't dare to brag anymore. If you blow too much this time, you may be beheaded directly.
So, Heisan directly admitted that he was a coward, he was not decent enough, and he never dared to kill anyone.
And these did help Heisan.
The patrolmen discussed it for a while, and then said to Hei San: "According to the usual practice, your crime is not serious, and your life must have been saved. If you can actively return the looted gold and silver, you will at most receive a small punishment." That’s all.”
"However, you just captured the village chief again, which is a great achievement. Maybe the merits and demerits can be offset."
"If you are willing, we will tie you up, and then... let's see the timing and continue down."
Heisan and others nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing how excited they were, they couldn't wait to do it.
So, the patrolman took out the rope and tied up Hei San and others.
After tying them up, Hei San stood with the village chief's descendants with a smile, accepting the villagers' accusations.
But... not many people accuse them, because everyone is a little unclear about the connections of these people.
Are these guys...sick? Are you willing to be tied up? What on earth were they thinking?
Everyone was a little confused.
This great criticism lasted for several hours, and then it finally came to an end.
The patrol collected enough evidence, sealed up all the village chief's property, took his descendants, Hei San and others, and walked toward the county seat in a mighty manner.
On the way, the village chief said to the patrolman: "How much is your monthly salary?"
None of the patrol officers spoke to me.
One is that they don't want to talk to the village chief, and the other is that their salary is really not much, and it's embarrassing to say it.
The village chief sighed and said to them: "Do you think it's worth it for you to work so hard for a meager salary?"
The two patrolmen said calmly: "Exterminating violence and keeping peace, what's not worth it?"
The village chief sighed: "Stupid, ignorant, unfathomably stupid."
The patrolman said nothing.
The village chief added: "If you let me go, I will give all the belongings in my family to you. From now on, you will no longer have to do these drudgery tasks. You can enjoy peace of mind. How about it?"
The patrolmen said nothing.
It's not that they weren't tempted, the village chief's wealth was indeed a lot. Not just too much, but too much.
If you can really get that kind of wealth, that would be great.
However... what happens after getting wealth? Just put the village chief back like this? What should Shangguan do if he investigates? How to explain to the court?
In addition, the patrol officer also couldn't bear to let down his majesty and the banished immortal.
These two extremely noble people trust them so much that they handle clan affairs.
The policemen all over the world felt that they were being respected for the first time.
But now...for a little bribe, the village chief was let go.
Will His Majesty and the Immortal be disappointed?
However, if you think about it carefully, your salary is really meager. If you can get some wealth, you can live a happy life.
As long as you stay anonymous and are not discovered, it seems to be good.
For a moment, the two patrolmen hesitated again.
Just as they were hesitating, there was a rush of horse hooves in front of them.
"Is someone coming?" the village chief asked.
The patrolman hummed lightly: "Someone is here. It seems that the county magistrate is here to greet you in person."
The village chief said with a smile: "You haven't thought about it yet? I'll tell you in advance. If you don't want this wealth, after I see the county magistrate, the wealth may belong to the county magistrate."
The patrolmen suddenly panicked.
That's how people are, there is something that you don't really want, but when someone competes with you, you have to have it.
This is how the two patrols feel now.
Beyond that, they were a little worried. They worry that if the county magistrate accepts a bribe from the village chief, will it favor the village chief?
And they have tormented the village chief so much. Will the village chief retaliate at that time?
By then, will they be the ones tied up?
Do they dare to disobey Shangguan and tie up the county magistrate and hand him over to Xianyang City?
Finally, a mature and steady policeman said: "Impossible. The county magistrate has a bright future. How could he covet your money?"
The village chief said with a smile: "What if?"
"What if I don't ask the county magistrate to let me go, but just ask the county magistrate to give you small shoes?"
The patrolmen were stunned. They didn't expect the village chief to be so shameless.
The village chief said: "You have probably figured it out now, right? The county magistrate accepts my wealth and gives you some means to make you miserable. This is a very simple matter, and there is no loss to him."
"If you don't want to suffer, you can only do as I say and release me as soon as possible."
"As long as you let me go, wealth will be at your fingertips, how about that?"
The patrolmen were hesitating. At this time, the person in front said: "Who are you escorting?"
The patrolmen raised their eyes and took a look, and were surprised to find that the person in front of them was not the county magistrate, but a stranger. It's just that this man is gorgeously dressed, and he looks like a noble person at first glance.
The man jumped off his horse and raised his hand to the patrolman: "I am an envoy from Xianyang City. I want to know about the recent clan situation. Is the person you are escorting a certain clan leader?"
The patrolman nodded nervously and blankly.
The man smiled slightly: "Leave him to me and let me take him back to Xianyang City."
