Chapter 4387 Returning to the city with a full load
Heifeng Village, which was not small in size, fell into an eerie silence.
The four villagers who followed Tang Zhen walked around from the side of the cliff and walked into Heifeng Village.
Although he held a weapon in his hand and wore animal skin armor on his body, his legs still felt a little weak.
After all, these men and women in front of me are all heinous bandits, and they show no mercy when killing people.
When this group of people is mentioned on weekdays, the villagers always look in fear and avoid them.
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that one day, I would walk into the Black Wind Bandit's lair in such a bold manner.
Looking at these Black Wind bandits, they were obviously a hundred times more numerous, but they were still kneeling on the ground, with anger and fear in their eyes.
The villagers are all too familiar with this look of fear.
It was also because of this look that the villagers became bold. Knowing that Tang Zhen was here to frighten him, the Black Wind Bandit did not dare to touch him at all.
They tied up the bandits they encountered with the ropes they carried, and then strung them together with a rope.
The purpose of this is to prevent someone from escaping.
During this period, they encountered bandits struggling, and the villagers dared to stare and wave the hundred-smelted steel knives in their hands.
Having seen the power of rifles, the vast majority of bandits are very honest, but there are also some who are unwilling to do so.
While tying up a bandit, the bandit suddenly jumped up and was about to take the villagers hostage.
The bandit who was kneeling next to him saw this and acted at the same time, charging at several villagers fiercely.
As these bandits thought, as long as they controlled a few villagers, they would have the capital to negotiate with Tang Zhen.
The plan was good, but it was a pity that he chose the wrong opponent and underestimated Tang Zhen's marksmanship and reactions.
He stood on the cliff and had a clear view of the village below, and he also saw the bandits' performance.
He was always observing, guarding against dangerous targets, and ensuring the smooth movement of several villagers.
These rising bandits had been discovered by Tang Zhen a long time ago, and he knew that they had no good intentions.
Just as the opponent took action, Tang Zhen's attack followed closely.
With a series of gunshots, several bandits fell to the ground one after another, with expressions of despair and unwillingness on their faces.
Tang Zhen's speed was too fast, beyond imagination. They were no match at all.
“Ruffian!”
Several villagers came back to their senses, looked at the bandits in shock and anger, and waved the steel knives in their hands without hesitation.
Aiming at the bandit's head and face, he struck fiercely.
The villagers were not polite at all to these bandits who had malicious intentions and wanted to kill them.
The knife fell with his hand, and blood spurted out.
When the bandits next to them saw this, their eyes suddenly widened, with shame, anger and sadness in their eyes, but no one dared to stand up and resist.
The thoughts lingering in my mind have been answered clearly. Resistance is indeed useless.
Since you can't defeat him and want to survive, you can only obey his orders.
Besides, being in his own lair, the bandits are also wary, worried that the battle will affect their wives, children, and children.
If it were another place, they might not be so obedient, and they would probably continue to try to fight Tang Zhen.
With the deterrence of Tang Zhen's force, the bandits became more honest, and the courage of several villagers also began to gradually increase.
If any bandits do not cooperate, they really dare to scold loudly and at the same time swing their swords in a chopping gesture.
Obviously, he knew very well that with Tang Zhen's intimidation, these bandits could not hurt him.
The soldiers will be brave. If Tang Zhen is timid and cautious, his soldiers will also be timid.
There were hundreds of people in Heifeng Village, and it took half a day to tie them up, leaving several villagers panting from exhaustion.
Tang Zhen was like a flying bird, flying down from the cliff. His agility and flexibility made the bandits secretly shocked.
They originally thought that Tang Zhen only relied on the power of weapons, but now it seems that is not the case.
The means of close combat are likely to be even more powerful.
Entering Heifeng Village with a gun in hand, Tang Zhen walked to the front of a room and shouted coldly inside: "Get out of the people inside, or I will set the house on fire."
Hearing Tang Zhen's shouting, one of the bandits showed a hint of nervousness, but hesitantly did not speak. After waiting for a full minute, still no one came out.
Tang Zhen's face turned cold, he walked to the door, picked up a gun and fired, and then he heard screams.
Soon Tang Zhen walked out of the house, looked at the bandits around him, and issued another warning: "I'll give you one last chance, don't hide anymore, otherwise once I catch you, I will kill you on the spot. He will be executed!"
Some hesitant bandits did not dare to hesitate any longer and called out to their family members and companions who were hiding.
Soon, some women, young and old, and bandits with weapons in their hands emerged from the house.
The situation before us is enough to prove that resistance is meaningless and will only increase more casualties.
Now that the situation is over, surrender is the only option.
Bandits will also assess the situation and will not blindly resist to the end. That is just asking for death.
Tang Zhen treated all children equally, old and young, and tied one hand with a rope.
As family members of bandits, they are naturally full of thieves. Once they see an opportunity, they will definitely launch a counterattack without hesitation.
If you don’t kill them, you are kind enough and there is no need to give them excessive preferential treatment.
Tang Zhen personally went out to search Heifeng Village and found some hidden guys.
The next step is to interrogate and raid Heifeng Village to find the wealth hidden by these bandits.
In the cave under the cliff, I found a box containing money, but there was only less than three thousand taels of silver.
Such a small amount made Tang Zhen very dissatisfied.
Given the size of Heifeng Village and having been doing business without capital, it is absolutely impossible to only have these savings.
After selecting a few small bosses, Tang Zhen continued to interrogate them and finally found the money secretly hidden by the first master, second master and others.
The total amount was seven to eight thousand taels, which satisfied Tang Zhen’s expectations.
The bandits also need to eat and drink, and part of the money they robbed needs to be used to buy food.
As long as there is money to be made, there will always be people willing to take risks and sell food and weapons to these bandits.
After getting what he wanted, Tang Zhen was ready to return to Loucheng.
He selected some bandits who were responsible for carrying money and grain, leading the cattle, horses, pigs and sheep in the village, and walked down the mountain in a long queue.
Tang Zhen was not interested in the other items in the village at all, including the swords, bows and crossbows that were also thrown away.
Since there are better choices, Tang Zhen will definitely not want these rags. To fight with such weapons is to be irresponsible for his own life.
Before leaving, Tang Zhen set a fire and burned the den of thieves to ashes.
Leaving this stronghold behind is likely to attract other wandering bandits, which will cause disaster over time.
Seeing this scene, the bandits felt extremely sad, but they had no choice but to do anything.
Tang Zhen used his own strength to conquer the entire Black Wind Village, and they had completely lost the courage to resist.
Nowadays, they are like cattle and sheep, driven by wanton slavery, and may even be massacred at any time.
At this moment, the bandits finally realized the helplessness and despair. They usually inflicted it on others, but now it all fell on themselves.
We came to the place where the bullock cart was parked, put the money and grain on the cart, and the team continued to move forward.
When walking out of the Black Wind Mountain Pass, they happened to encounter a caravan, totaling less than a hundred people.
When they saw Tang Zhen and his group, the caravan members immediately became nervous, thinking they had been robbed by Black Wind Bandits.
They travel here and are no strangers to the Black Wind Bandits, and have even paid tolls several times.
Following the caravan’s guards, they secretly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
But when we got closer, we found that the situation was completely different from what we imagined. There were indeed many Black Wind Bandits here, but their hands had been tied.
Such an abnormal scene was indeed very shocking, and it also made the caravan realize one thing.
The Black Wind Bandits entrenched here have obviously suffered a disaster, and even their family members were escorted down the mountain together.
Looking at Tang Zhen's group, there were less than ten people in total, and I was even more shocked.
