Tieniu said: "The bandits bully the weak and fear the strong. If they are caught and not killed as before, they will not be afraid! Now most of the brothers in the escort have been taken away by Mr. We don't have enough manpower, so we can't be the same as before."
"But..." The company commander still hesitated.
"Do as I say. If you are punished when you come back, I will bear it!"
Tieniu said murderously: "Didn't they come up from the river? Let's hang them by the riverside for all the passing merchants to see. Don't come to Jinchuan recently to look for trouble!"
"yes!"
When the company commander realized that Tieniu had made up his mind, he stopped trying to dissuade him and turned around to leave with his fists in his hands.
At noon that day, there was a row of pillars along the Jialing River.
Every two feet, a rope is tied.
When the bandits were taken to the river, they finally felt the fear of death.
"Don't the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau not kill prisoners?"
"I want to see your Mr. Kim!"
"Uncle, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Brothers, begging for mercy is useless, fight with me!"
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have thrown the knife and fought with them just now!"
…
When the bandits learned that the escort was going to hang them, some begged for mercy, some regretted that they should not have surrendered just now, and some struggled and attacked the escort next to them with their heads.
Some bandits even jumped directly into the river.
But they were all quickly suppressed and hung one by one on pillars.
In the afternoon, merchants passing by on the Jialing River discovered a row of pillars on the south side of the Double Hump Pier.
There were corpses hanging on the pillars every two feet, swaying in the air with the cold wind.
"Oh my god, why are there so many corpses? I can't even see the end of them at a glance, there must be at least hundreds of them!"
"Yesterday I heard that bandits attacked Shuang Hump. Are these corpses those bandits?"
"That's probably not the case. I heard that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency does not kill prisoners."
"Just because I didn't kill him before, doesn't mean I won't kill him now. Jin Feng is not in Jinchuan, so maybe the person involved has changed."
"These bandits deserve to die. We should kill them all!"
"Mr. Jin is too soft-hearted. If he had been like this, how could any bandits dare to cause trouble in his absence?"
…
The merchants were the group that hated bandits the most, and they were all excited when they saw the corpses on the riverside.
The news that all the bandits who besieged Double Camelback were hanged spread quickly with these merchants.
In a small mountain village more than ten miles away on the east bank of the Jialing River, there is a small courtyard near the mountains and water.
Master Chen and several middle-aged people were sitting in the room, sipping tea and chatting and laughing.
When Master Chen bewitched the bandits, he still used the alias Mr. Liu as he did in Jiangnan.
The other few middle-aged people were sent by various powerful families to assist him in his affairs.
While several people were talking happily, a man dressed as an Orion rushed in hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, it's bad, the gangs of bandits in Black Rock Mountain and Dakeng Mountain were all caught by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and hanged!"
"What, hanged?"
Several middle-aged people stood up at the same time, their faces completely changed.
A trace of surprise also flashed in Master Chen's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he asked calmly: "Tell me what's going on?"
This Orion was the spy he was looking for. He had been hiding in the dark and witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes.
After listening to Orion's story, Master Chen was not angry, but smiled.
"Mr. Liu, you can still laugh, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is serious this time!"
Orion was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "You haven't seen that this time they have a weapon that is louder than thunder. One weapon can kill a large number of bandits!"
"This is the divine thunder, Jin Feng used it in Xichuan!"
A bald middle-aged man said: "How come there is such a thing in Jinchuan?"
"Jinchuan is Jin Feng's home base. Isn't it normal to have a divine thunder?"
Mr. Chen waved the hunter away and poured a cup of tea: "Mr. He, don't panic. Come on, let's continue drinking tea."
"Mr. Liu, what time has it been? Are you still in the mood to drink tea?"
The bald middle-aged man said anxiously: "The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is already difficult to deal with, and now there are black armor and divine thunder. What should we do? Hundreds of bandits, they were hanged as soon as they were told, without even a splash of water.
Get out!"
"Who said there's no splash at all?"
Master Chen said with a smile: "Didn't they help us find out the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau's trump card?"
In fact, the bandits who besieged Shuang Hump were the chess pieces Master Chen used to test the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau's cards.
He was also very satisfied with the results of the experiment.
Several middle-aged people looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.
At this time, they all understood that Master Chen must have known from the beginning that these bandits were bound to die, but he did not warn them at all.
This coldness made them shudder.
"The more the escorts act like this, the more it shows that they are guilty!"
Master Chen ignored the reactions of the middle-aged men and said slowly: "They should be the ones panicking now, not us!"
"Then what are Mr. Liu going to do next? Will the plan continue?" the bald middle-aged man asked.
"Since Jin Feng left behind the black armor and the divine thunder, naturally the previous method cannot be used."
Master Chen picked up the tea bowl, played with it for a while, and said: "Next, we should use the second plan!"
…
Xihewan.
Guan Xiaorou, Tang Dongdong, Xiaoyu, Tiechui and Zheng Fang gathered in Jin Feng's study again.
"Brother Tieniu was a little too cruel, wasn't he? My husband made it clear that prisoners could not be killed. He killed hundreds of them at once. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to my husband when he comes back."
Xiaoyu put down the note and said worriedly.
Zheng Fang's brows also wrinkled slightly.
He supported Tieniu, but he thought that Tieniu's cruelty was to kill more bandits during the battle. He had no idea that Tieniu would kill prisoners.
Although the results of the two are the same, the meanings are completely different.
According to the regulations of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, killing enemies in battle will be commended, while killing prisoners after the war will be severely punished.
In fact, Tieniu also planned to kill the enemy in the battle, but who knew that the bandits were too useless. As soon as he took out the grenade, the enemy collapsed...
"The situation at this time is different from before. I will explain it to you when you come back."
Zheng Fang said: "I approved Tieniu's decision. If you punish me, sir, I will bear it together with Tieniu."
"Sir, the three of us will guard the village together. If something happens, the three of us will bear the responsibility together." Iron Hammer also said.
After all, they were comrades who had lived and died together in the trenches in the northwest. Although he and Tieniu had a quarrel at the time and almost called each other names, they had a good relationship in private.
"Brother Feng will naturally make a decision when he comes back. What are you trying to grab now?"
Tang Dongdong said: "Now we should discuss quickly whether to withdraw Tieniu or let him stay to guard the Double Hump."
"It's easy to talk about other factories, but Shuang Hump is too close to the Jialing River. Bandits can go there by boat at any time. It's hard to guard against it. Let Tieniu stay there."
Zheng Fang was the first to express his position.
Just when Tang Dongdong was about to speak, Aju opened the door and walked in.
"Everyone, something happened. I just received news that bandits have also appeared near Tiankui Peak and Longxugou, and are heading towards Jinchuan!"
