When Colin said this, he looked at Liu Haojia, wanting to see his face, but Liu Haojia said expressionlessly: "Keep talking!"
Colin had no choice but to continue: "These two guests talked with the leader of our tribe in the tent for a long time, and they also brought in a box of gifts. I don't know what the gifts were. Then the two After leaving, the leader began to play tricks on the children, saying that there was a battle to be fought, and after the battle, the tribe would be rich! It wasn’t until today that I realized that the leader had set his target on the Marquis! We offended the Marquis. The crime deserves death, please forgive us, the noble Marquis!"
After speaking, Colin knelt on the ground directly, and the other herdsmen also knelt on the ground when they saw this situation. Liu Haojia remained silent. After much deliberation, he could not figure out who was the person who ordered the Mongols to attack him?
He knew that he had many enemies, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply put aside this idea and said: "Colin, I can spare you and your people, but..."
As soon as he said this, Colin kowtowed to the ground and said loudly: "May the Eternal God bless you, noble Marquis! Your mind..."
Then a series of praises came flying over, coupled with the Mongolian's unique rhetorical method, they directly praised Liu Haojia as a god-like figure! And other herdsmen also kowtowed after seeing this. It seems like he is completely convinced!
Liu Haojia sneered when he saw the scene in front of him. This Colin is obviously a person with some status in the tribe, otherwise ordinary herdsmen would not have the opportunity to master Chinese, and they would not be able to speak in such an organized manner! The most important thing is that he interrupted himself to try to reduce the tribe's losses!
Because according to the rules on the grassland, if you lose, you have to pay a price, and he actually thought about getting over it by kowtowing a few times and saying some words of praise! Only those Mongolians who are familiar with the performance of civil servants can do this!
Thinking of this, Liu Haojia burst out laughing. After laughing, he pointed a riding crop at Colin and said, "You old guy, you are still playing these useless tricks with me! Well, when will you people on the grassland Have you learned this trick too?"
Colin was shocked when he heard this. He quickly raised his head and said, "Honorable Lord Marquis, Colin did not lie!"
Liu Haojia ignored him and said directly: "Give him 20 lashes, and then take ten people from the crowd and execute them directly! I think this is enough to wake him up!"
The two servants immediately rushed forward and began to peel off Colin's leather armor and leather robe. But Colin's face was pale but he didn't dare to struggle, he could only plead! But the servant showed no mercy and directly stripped off his upper body, revealing his already withered back.
Then a servant came up with a horse whip and whipped him on the back! Every time the whip hits his back, it will leave a bloody mark! Colin was shaking all over in pain but still didn't dare to dodge, so he could only grit his teeth and push on!
At the same time, some servants rushed into the crowd and pulled out ten people despite their cries. These ten people were all young and strong, and some even had injuries on their bodies. They were brutally pushed to the ground and knelt in a row. Then several servants stepped forward and stabbed each of them twice. These ten people were instantly decapitated!
Seeing the blood spurting out and the heads rolling on the ground, the Mongolians couldn't help but commotion! Upon seeing this, the fire gun soldier took aim without any instructions. Liu Haojia also looked at them coldly. As long as someone messed up, he would order shooting without hesitation!
But fortunately there were some understanding people in the crowd. When Liu Haojia heard someone shouting loudly in Mongolian, the voice was very urgent rather than angry, he knew that they couldn't make trouble. And after the riot, they got closer to each other. It seemed that they were scared!
By the time the ten heads fell to the ground and the 20 whips had been used, they seemed to be lying on the ground moaning. At this time, Liu Haojia said: "How about it, can you tell the truth now? Let's start with who you are."
It seems that I am finally scared now! He knew that the person in front of him was not easy to fool, so he could only kneel straight again and start explaining.
His real name is indeed Colin, but his status is not low, he is a personal soldier of Hutch's father. Moreover, his daughter was married to Hutch as a concubine, so he had a certain status in the tribe. This is also the reason why he can understand the inside story.
However, because he is older and has gradually been marginalized, he does not know much. The actual situation was just like what he said just now, and he was not lying about this. He just concealed his identity and wanted to fool Liu Haojia into leaving as soon as possible without causing the tribe to pay too much.
After repeated cross-examination, Liu Haojia knew that nothing could be asked, so he said: "Colin, although you once planned to fool me, you also paid a sufficient price, so I will forgive you, and you and your people can live. Already!"
It seems that I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this! This time, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Haojia sincerely, muttering things like "God will bless you forever".
Liu Haojia knocked his riding crop on his boots to stop his nonsense, and then said: "As the victor of the war, everything in this land is my trophy, including you people! Although I generously pardoned I will save you, but this does not mean that I will let go of other spoils! My soldiers will search the entire camp and take away what they deserve. In addition, I will take away a thousand sheep, a hundred cattle and all The war horses! I estimate that the remaining cattle and sheep are enough for you to survive!"
Colin was worried at first that Liu Haojia would take away all the cattle and sheep. If that happened, the tribe would really be doomed! Even if the herdsmen gather back, they will have no food and will have to be annexed by surrounding tribes! But now that I heard that he only took away this little thing, I immediately praised Liu Haojia loudly! Even the Mongolians behind him felt relieved after hearing the translation.
Although the cattle and sheep were lost, the benevolent Marquis of the Ming Dynasty also left a lot of cattle and sheep! You may not be full, but at least you won’t starve to death! As for other things, just take them, the winner has absolute rights!
Then Liu Haojia stopped Colin's praise and said: "Also, when Hutch comes back, tell him that I will send someone to contact him in the future. He'd better tell the person who instigated him clearly! If he explains clearly, I will Maybe I can even give him some benefits! For example, I can sell some food to the grassland, medicinal materials and the like for you. But if he refuses to explain, your entire tribe will be removed from the grassland at this time!"
