In the end, Wang Qun did not run away and was pulled into the tent. He kept yelling, but the person he was yelling at was not Li Xun, but his so-called brothers.

Li Xun glanced at Wang Qun, then extended his thumb towards Shan Qiu: "Brother Shan is really powerful, he caught everyone."

Wang Qun led more than a hundred people to escape, and Shan Qiu also led an equal number of soldiers to pursue them. They were able to capture all the fleeing people. This was not easy.

Shanqiu shook his head and said: "You misunderstood. I only captured six bandits, including the bandit leader Wang Qun. The others fled in all directions. I don't have many soldiers in my hand, so I can't catch them at all."

Li Xun was stunned. This would be even more difficult. There were not many men and horses in Shanqiu. If Wang Qun left dozens of people to cut off the rear, and relied on their familiarity with geography and the speed of his horses, Shanqiu would not be able to defeat him at all.

However, now that Wang Qun was captured, most of his men managed to escape. This is really a strange thing.

Seeing Li Xun's doubts, Shan Qiu pointed at Wang Qun who was kneeling on the ground, and said with some laughter: "This man is a gangster boss, and he can do it well. In times of crisis, his younger brother actually turned the boss into a gangster."

It's really rare to see people squeezing in at the end to stop the enemy, and everyone fleeing on their own."

Wang Qun scolded him for a while. Perhaps thinking of his sadness, he sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Li Xun chuckled, stepped forward, patted Wang Qun on the shoulder, and joked: "Brother, it seems that you are not very good to your brothers on weekdays. In times of crisis, they actually abandoned you."

"You fart."

"Who are you scolding!"

Jiang Daxiong stepped forward and kicked Wang Qun to the ground. He raised his foot and wanted to kick again. However, Li Xun smiled and stretched out his hand to stop Wang Qun. He pulled Wang Qun up and said, "If you hadn't treated your brothers

No, how could they leave you alone?"

Wang Qun gritted his teeth and said, "I treat them like brothers and sisters. I always treat them with food and meat, and I never let them go hungry. Why am I treating them badly?"

After saying that, Wang Qun felt sad and actually shed tears again: "I usually say it beautifully, because I can cut both sides of the knife and be with you in life and death. In times of crisis, if we don't fly separately, how can they still have me as the boss in their hearts?"

.”

Li Xun smiled, stood up, went to the chair above and sat down. After working for an hour or two, he was really tired.

"The matter has come to this, and it's useless for you to cry. You'd better think about your current situation."

Shan Qiu and others each found their seats and sat down. Tonight's battle could be said to have been a smooth one. Everyone felt completely relaxed after seeing such a strange bandit leader.

.

Wang Qun secretly glanced at Li Xun, and when he saw him looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he suddenly became nervous. What he did just now was half a pretense, hoping to arouse the other party's sympathy and let him go.

After all, in tonight's battle, I suffered heavy losses, but the other party suffered very little losses, so I won't hate myself too much.

Wang Qun sneered and said: "Well... I have surrendered and am a prisoner. Since you are officers and soldiers, you should understand the principle of surrendering without killing me."

Li Xun laughed loudly and said: "You were captured because of exhaustion, not sincere surrender. I will kill you with a clear conscience."

"The villain is willing to redeem his life with his wealth."

Wang Qun's face turned pale and he could no longer pretend. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "General, please let the villain go."

Take money to redeem your life?

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, this was quite new, and asked: "How much are you worth?"

Wang Qun replied: "The villain is willing to pay 50,000 taels of silver to redeem a few lives."

Li Xun was surprised and said: "Are all bandits so rich?"

Wang Qun smiled awkwardly: "This is what I have saved little by little over the years."

Li Xun nodded and did not make an immediate decision. He asked people to take Wang Qun down, and then said to Shan Qiu and others: "More than fifty brothers were killed and injured tonight. If we can get 50,000 from this bandit leader,

With two pieces of silver, the family of the deceased brother can be considered to have a certain degree of security in their future lives."

The small amount of pension provided by the court was only enough to buy a meal and had no effect.

Shan Qiu thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."

More than 300 people were arrested tonight. It is impossible to kill them all. According to common sense, only the chief criminal is killed. Once the bandit leader dies, the bandit den will disperse.

Li Xun finally agreed to Wang Qun's request and asked one of his subordinates to return to the village and take the money to ransom him in Yuxi County. After all, Li Xun could not keep the hundreds of prisoners and hand them over to the local government.

The best option is for the official in charge to report it to the court. Li Xun is also a military exploit.

At noon the next day, Li Xun and others arrived at Yuxi County, the seat of Guazhou. After informing them of their identities and intentions, the governor of Guazhou let Li Xun and others into the city. Afterwards, the two sides handed over the prisoners and gave Li Xun 10,000 yuan.

Two more silver.

At first, Li Xun didn't understand why the governor of Guazhou wanted to give him money. After asking, he found out that bandits were rampant in Guazhou and the public security was extremely poor. Xiong Buhui, the governor of Guazhou, was a capable and responsible official. After taking office, he summoned the rich to

Collect money and food, recruit young people to strengthen patrols and stabilize public security, and send messages throughout Guazhou to publicly offer rewards. Wang Qun ranked fourth, with a reward of 3,000 taels of silver, while ordinary bandits were rewarded with 50 taels per person. Li Xun sent more than 300 bandits away.

To the government, after Xiong Buhui counted the number of people and confirmed the identities of these people, he immediately sent someone to send more than 17,000 taels to Li Xun, not a penny less, not a penny more.

After lunch, after working hard for half the night yesterday, Li Xun asked everyone to have a good rest, while he went to see Wang Qun, who was eating steamed buns.

"Wang Qun, you are quite valuable. If your people don't pay to ransom you, I will send you to the government and you will get three thousand taels of silver, which is a small profit."

Wang Qun put down the steamed bun in his hand and said nervously: "General, I promised that the money will be delivered before dusk. General, you can't break your promise."

Wang Qun couldn't help but be nervous. He was a habitual gangster in this area. No matter whether he had done many evil things or not, his reputation was there. If he was sent to the government, the government would definitely take action on him, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and his life would be hard to save.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who keeps my word. You should do whatever you want. I won't do anything to you before it gets dark."

Li Xun waved his hand and said again: "Your people are so ruthless to you. Are you sure that the people you sent back to get the money will come back?"

Wang Qun nodded and said affirmatively: "The person I sent back to get the money is my brother-in-law, and he will never abandon me."
