Traveling into ancient literature, killing the male protagonist and succeeding

Chapter 142 Long live my emperor (29)

With so many soldiers around, even if the bandit looked scary, no one would dare to do anything to him.

The county magistrate took a deep breath, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of everyone, and said as calmly as possible: "Where is Lord Yang? I want to see Lord Yang first."

Gao Hu glared at him, and then ordered his younger brother beside him, "Go and bring that damn Yang Su out."

He did not control his voice, and the county magistrate heard it clearly. He thought to himself how great a grudge this bandit must have against Yang Su to make him shout so harshly. No wonder Yang Su wanted to lead a team personally to get rid of them.

Soon, Yang Su was escorted out by two bandits.

He was tied up with hemp ropes, a piece of coarse cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and his hair crown was a little crooked.

As the magistrate of Qi County, this was the first time that the officers and soldiers saw Yang Su in such an embarrassed state.

The county magistrate twitched his lips. His son was kidnapped during the day, and he was also kidnapped at night. They are indeed a family...

Yang Su had an ugly expression and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

When he gets out, he will definitely kill Gao Hu, who brought shame upon him!

He will not let go of the King of Xiqing who plotted against him...

The county magistrate cleared his throat and said, "Do you know the crime of holding an imperial official hostage? I advise you to release Lord Yang as soon as possible, and you can give him a lighter sentence."

Nan Yue sighed in her heart. It would be strange if the county magistrate would let go of such a talented person if he negotiated in this way.

The county magistrate had been an official for many years. Even though he was an insignificant official, he still had his own pride. It was impossible for him to get along well with the bandits in a short period of time.

But it was not his fault. He had encountered something that other county magistrates would never encounter in their lifetime. After all, ordinary bandits did not have the courage to kidnap officials...

Gao Hu snorted coldly, refusing to cooperate. "Where is the silver I want? Give it to me first and let us go, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand and put it against Yang Su's neck...

Seeing this scene, the county magistrate gasped, "How dare you! If you release Lord Yang, I can still spare your life. But think clearly, if you hurt Lord Yang, your entire bandit camp will not survive!"

"Ha!" Gao Hu said sarcastically, "If we don't hurt Yang Su, we won't survive."

He raised his voice, "It was you who first pressed forward and tried to eliminate the Tiger Howl Village!"

"If you weren't bandits, if you hadn't robbed and killed passing merchants, causing unrest in the entire Qi County and even Changxing County, why would we come to the bandit camp!"

The county magistrate was not so afraid now, he said sternly.

"Do we want to be bandits?!" Gao Hu got even more excited when he heard this. He applied a little more force to Yang Su's neck, and a blood mark instantly appeared on his neck...

Yang Su: “…”

He was unable to speak, so he looked at the county magistrate with a blaming look.

He usually seems to have some brains, why is he acting so stupid today?

If this bandit wants money, just give it to him first!

When the time comes, catch them and kill them all!

Why are you arguing with a bandit?

In fact, Yang Su misunderstood the county magistrate this time, mainly because the supplies in Qi County were no longer under his jurisdiction.

The county magistrate wanted to take the silver up the mountain, but the righteous and decisive supervisor did not say anything, so how could he dare to take the initiative to ask for it?

I had no choice but to take some people up the mountain overnight.

"Three years ago, a natural disaster occurred and several villages and towns were flooded. Countless people were left homeless. I don't believe you didn't report such a big thing to the court! But where is the disaster relief money from the court? Where are the people who helped us rebuild the village?"

"We went to several counties in Changxing County to seek help, but not a single county was willing to take us in or rescue us!"

"Who would want to be a bandit if they didn't have nowhere else to go?"

"You didn't care before, but now we're blocking your path to wealth, so you're here to get rid of us!"

Although he knew it was all an act, Gao Hu couldn't help but feel his eyes warming up when talking about these things.

The bandits standing by were also trying hard to hold back their tears.

It is inevitable that there will be some grievances.

They once believed in the government and the officials.

Gao Hu's voice was a little hoarse. "You know, most of the people in my Tiger Roar Village are old, weak, women and children. We never rob civilians. Even if we rob merchants, we will leave half of their money and never hurt anyone's life."

"We at Tiger Howl Village will take in the refugees you don't care about!"

One man added, "We are not bandits, we are the people you have abandoned."

The officers and soldiers listened silently, feeling somewhat complicated.

They all obeyed orders and had no deep hatred with these bandits.

After hearing what Gao Hu said, they actually admired this man a little.

The county magistrate no longer had the momentum he had before. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard the young man's voice.

"I understand how you feel."

Nan Yue stepped forward and gently persuaded, "What has happened cannot be changed. But I can assure you that this will never happen again."

"I will send someone to investigate. If the facts are as you said, and you really protected the elderly, the weak, women and children, and did not kill anyone, then why not come back with us to Qi County and rebuild our home."

Hearing about rebuilding his home, Gao Hu was somewhat touched. He paused for a moment but still did not put down the knife. "Who are you? Can you take what you said seriously?"

A man next to him thought of countless sad things in his heart before he could keep his expression tense. He also said: "Yeah, what if you are the same as Yang Su?"

I didn't expect that the boss and Lord Chu were so good at acting.

Nan Yue smiled slightly and assured, "I am Chu Yu, the transport supervisor, the sixth son of the Marquis of Yongding. As long as I am there, the people will not be displaced."

what? !

Marquis of Yongding?

Transport Supervisor?

Yang Su finally set his sights on Nan Yue. He had never cared about her identity before and only thought that she was someone brought by the county magistrate.

His heart suddenly sank, and Yang Su stared fiercely at the young man with a confident smile.

The situation is too bad...

"Now, can you put Yang Su down and go with us?" Nan Yue asked.

Gao Hu slowly put down the knife, still a little wary, and said, "You must keep your word."

"of course!"

The county magistrate disagreed. Even though he was afraid, he couldn't help but whispered, "This is not good. They are mountain bandits..."

"Isn't it better to recruit them than to kill them?" Nan Yue glanced at him and said bluntly, "How many soldiers are there in Qi County? It's okay if I don't recruit them. I'll put you in there when the time comes. You'd better be worth a hundred men."

The county magistrate was choked, wondering why it seemed that the transport supervisor treated the bandits better than he did.

But he thought about it.

Instead of killing them, you can recruit them and gain a good reputation.

Qi County is so big, isn’t it still short of food for these people?

but……

He always felt that something was a little strange.

The officers and soldiers did not feel anything strange. They had some respect for the transport supervisor, who had subdued a bandit camp with just a few words.

He is much more powerful than Yang Su, who led people to suppress bandits but was taken hostage instead.

A certain male protagonist appeared, but not completely. It's not that easy to be with Xiaoyue. Hahahahaha (laughs like a villain)
