"The servants in Zhuangzi can help dig up Zhuangzi's wealth, what can you people do?" Chen Daqing looked at the villagers squatting in front of him.
"We can also help the heroes of Hutou Village to dig up the wealth in the village."
"It's okay for us too."
"I know there's a lot of valuable stuff in a few rooms in the front yard."
The villagers were all talking, fearing that Chen Daqing would kill them if he said they were useless.
"Shut up, everyone!" Chen Daqing scolded.
These Zhuang Ding, who were usually arrogant in Zhuangzi, kept their mouths shut.
The situation was stronger than the people, and when they encountered the more powerful Hutou Village bandits, they all kept their mouths shut knowing the current situation.
My life is in the hands of others, so I dare not be disobedient.
"Liu, Mr. Liu has said that no, he will not kill us, and moreover, we are willing to join Hutou Village." A black and thin villager stuttered.
Other villagers also said this at this time.
"Yes, we are willing to join Hutou Village. We are all villagers and have martial arts skills. We are willing to join Hutou Village."
"It's a good thing that you want to join Hutou Village. I'll register it for you." Chen Daqing said with a smile, "What are your names, where are you from, and what have you done, such as killing people and setting fires? Let me tell you. Look at you. Are you suitable to join Hutou Village?"
"I'll say it first, I'll say it first." Youzhuang Ding shouted eagerly.
Many of the villagers in Zhuangzi are murderers and arsonists. They have no objection to joining the bandits and will still be popular and drink spicy food in the future.
"Don't worry, come one by one." Chen Daqing said to the bandit beside him, "Bring a table from the house and light a fire next to it."
Two bandits entered the room and brought out a table, with white paper spread out on the table.
Chen Daqing took out a sharpened charcoal pencil, pointed at the thin and dark man, and said, "Speak first."
The black and thin Zhuang Ding walked to the table, thought for a moment and said, "What a good man, I've never done anything before."
Chen Daqing asked: "Have you never killed anyone? Have you set a fire? Or other evil things."
The thin black man shook his head.
"It's really useless. If you just want to join me in Hutou Village, go squat on the right side." Chen Daqing looked dissatisfied.
The black and thin Zhuang Ding walked obediently to the right and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
Chen Daqing pointed to another villager and said, "Come here."
Zhuang Ding, who was pointed out, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Tell me, what have you done?" Chen Daqing pointed at the thin black man squatting on the right, "Don't go with him, he's a loser."
"No, no." The villager said with an apologetic smile, "The younger one's name is Ma Chenghu. He killed a family in Guangling two years ago and took five lives."
"Ah, it turns out that Brother Zeng is Ma Chenghu."
"I heard that the government wanted him for more than half a year, and he gave up after he couldn't find the murderer. I didn't expect someone to be hiding in such a village."
The villagers whispered among themselves, but they didn't expect that the person next to them was actually the murderer of the massacre two years ago.
Ma Chenghu looked proud.
"Are you sure you are Ma Chenghu?" Chen Daqing asked again, "Don't fool us just to join Hutou Village!"
"No." Ma Chenghu waved his hand domineeringly and said, "The government has wanted notices and small portraits. You can find out by going to the government and comparing them."
Seeing that he was sure, Chen Daqing smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, not bad, there is a future. Go squat on the left side."
After being praised, Chen Jiulong shook his shoulders with a look on his face and walked past the villagers and came to the open space on the left.
"Who's coming next?" Chen Daqing asked the other villagers.
"Me." A big man walked out and came to Chen Daqing's desk.
"Tell me, what have you done?" Chen Daqing picked up the charcoal pen and put the pen tip on the paper.
"My name is Wang Wu. I was a horse thief and was known as Kuai Ma Wang Wu. Later I was wanted by the government and was taken in by Mr. Xu. I stayed in Zhuangzi and became the leader of the village. Everyone in Zhuangzi knows me." Wang Wuyi patted me. own breasts.
As a horse thief, he has confidence in himself and believes that he will be favored by Hutou Village, and maybe he can find a leader in Hutou Village.
"Okay, you go and squat on the left side." Chen Daqing wrote it down and said without raising his head.
Wang Wu turned around and walked towards Ma Chenghu.
Zhuang Ding came to Chen Daqing one by one and told him about the evil things he had done. Zhuang Ding who had done many evil things all went to the left, and Zhuang Ding who had not done any evil went to the right.
The Zhuang Ding on the left was all in high spirits, looking at the Zhuang Ding on the right with disdain.
In their hearts, it is impossible for Hutou Village to want those villagers standing on the right. Only those villagers like them who have killed people and seen blood will be valued by Hutou Village and be included in the village.
When the last villager was asked, Chen Daqing put away the blank paper on the table that was full of information, folded it and put it away. Then he said to the bandit beside him: "Arrange a separate courtyard and prepare a few rooms. The villagers on the left and right will live separately, and prepare a few more beddings to prevent these people from freezing to death at night."
There were many vacant rooms in the village, and there was no shortage of bedding. All the villagers were locked in the room, and the door was locked.
There were more than a dozen Zhuang Ding who committed murder and arson, and they were locked in a room.
Ma Chenghu said worriedly: "Brother Wang Wu, what do you mean by the people in Hutou Village? Since you agreed to let us join Hutou Village, why are you locked in the house?"
Wang Wu was once the leader of the horse thieves, and he did a lot of burning, killing and looting. In recent years, he disappeared and hid in the Xu family's Zhuangzi.
He said: "You don't understand the rules on the road. If you want to join the gang, you need to submit a name certificate. Just wait, the people in Hutou Village will let us submit a name certificate tomorrow."
"What is a certificate of surrender?" Ma Chenghu didn't understand.
Although he wiped out a whole family and used ruthless methods, he was just a tiger on the street and did not understand the kind of surrender certificates mentioned by bandits and horse thieves.
Wang Wu sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and said: "Most of the certificates of surrender are for killing people, and they are also special. You have to give money and treasures, and you can only join the village after submitting the certificate of nomination. But don't worry, brothers, as long as I am here, all our brothers will be able to join the village." Can join Hutou Village."
Ma Chenghu clasped his fists and said: "With Brother Wang's ability, joining Hutou Village will at least make him a leader. I need Brother Wang to take care of me in the future."
"Yes, yes, please take care of me, Brother Wang."
"Brother Wang, all the brothers will be counting on you in the future."
The villagers in the room all flattered Wang Wu and said flattering words.
Wang Wu laughed loudly and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. If I, Wang Wu, have a mouthful of meat, my brothers will have a mouthful of meat."
All the villagers were imprisoned in a small courtyard alone, with bandits standing guard outside the door.
The servants in Zhuangzi who were first taken away were all brought back at this time, along with the valuable gold and silver objects in Zhuangzi.
Objects such as gold and silver were brought to the main room of the north courtyard and placed on the table in front of Liu Heng and Ma Yunjiu.
