Chapter 17

Tongshanzhai, the Hall of Heroes, a gathering of heroes.Lin Yifan sat at the head seat, and the other leaders sat in two rows.Han Santie and his two brothers kneeled in the hall with their backs tied behind their backs, looking frustrated.

Lin Yifan looked at the three people in the hall with great interest. According to the confessions of other bandits, these three people were originally good people and became bandits as a last resort.Maybe it's because he still has a conscience, and he still has some principles in being a bandit, and he never kills innocent people indiscriminately.Because of this, Lin Yifan had a good impression of them. "Han Santie, Niu Dali, Wang Fugui, are the three of you convicted?"

"The sinner is guilty, I don't ask for forgiveness, but I ask for the Lord to abide by the promise and let the brothers of Tongshan go." Trembling slightly, Han Santie raised his eyes to Lin Yifan, full of pleading.

However, Niu Dali roared angrily and wanted to stand up, but was pinned down by two young men behind him, unable to move.He had no choice but to yell: "Dog officials! I am not guilty, but you dog officials are guilty. I wish I could kill all the dog officials in the world. I..."

"Shut up!" Wang Fugui roared, slammed into Niu Dali, and whispered in his arms, "Second Brother, if you don't want your brothers to die, just shut up."

After Wang Fugui was pulled away, Niu Dali finally calmed down, he just glared at Lin Yifan and gritted his teeth.

The corner of Lin Yifan's mouth twitched, he fainted, I hated dog officials the most in my life, but now I was called a dog official.However, the performance of these three people is not bad, but I don't know if I can subdue them for my own use? "Han Santie, you were originally a blacksmith in Weiyuan County. Five years ago, because your colleagues framed you for privately manufacturing weapons, you were forced to flee. Later, you were exiled in Hengshan. Niu Dali, you were originally a tenant farmer in the Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou. Your younger sister molested your sister and forced your younger sister to commit suicide. Later, you beat that dude to serious injury and were sentenced to exile in Hengshan County by the government. You fled to Hengshan during a gold werewolf robbery. Wang Fugui, you are a famous man in Shangzhou. Because of a transaction, he was regarded as an abandoned son by the family and sentenced to exile in Hengshan by the government. Later, he fled to Hengshan with Niu Dali. Am I right?"

Han Santie and the others looked at Lin Yifan suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine he was buying in his gourd.

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, stood up, walked in front of the three of them, and ordered the left and right to remove the ropes from their bodies.Just when the three of them were at a loss, they said: "I don't want to pursue your past. But after all, you are thieves, so as an official of the imperial court, I can't just sit idly by. But in view of your timely return, performance Good. Therefore, I will sentence you to three years of hard labor. After three years, you will be good citizens. What do you think?"

Han Santie and Wang Fugui looked at each other with joy in their eyes.Only Niu Dali rolled his eyes, and wanted to jump at Lin Yifan, but was shocked by the sharp eyes on the opposite side.

"Of course, as long as you behave well, I can commute your sentences. In short, as long as you can make meritorious deeds, everything will be fine." Lin Yifan began to seduce, "At this time, Hengshan County needs more talents for all start-ups."

The words were very straightforward, and the three of them understood. Han Santie quickly said: "My lord, the sinner is a blacksmith who is good at blacksmithing. He can make iron tools for your lord. Please take him in."

Wang Fugui also said anxiously: "My lord, this villain is good at financial management and has some experience in business affairs. I am willing to do my best for my lord."

Only Niu Dali was left with an aggrieved face. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of what he would do, so he said in a muffled voice: "I, I know how to fight. As long as the Lord tells me to fight, I will fight anyone." After finishing speaking, suddenly Glancing at Luo Yi, his neck couldn't help shrinking, and his face turned red.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll hire you as the supervisor of the county's workshop, and be responsible for all the equipment manufacturing." Lin Yifan immediately pointed to Han Santie to announce the personnel order, and then pointed to Wang Fugui, "You are the housekeeper. The clerk is responsible for assisting the master bookman in managing finances."

After the two of them talked, Lin Yifan looked at Niu Dali with an expectant face, feeling a little embarrassed.This guy has a single mind, and he doesn't seem to have any special skills other than fighting. What kind of job should he be assigned?After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Niu Dali, are you willing to be my bodyguard?"

"What is a personal bodyguard?" Niu Dali asked blankly.

"Just follow me, go wherever I go, and protect me with all my might when I encounter danger." Lin Yifan explained.

Luo Yi next to him was already in a hurry, and he stood up and objected: "No way, this guy is new, rebellious, and hostile to the adults, how can he be allowed to follow the adults?"

Niu shook his head vigorously, and this time he actually had the courage to confront Luo Yi, "Hmph, what kind of person is I, Niu? Since Sir can trust me, I'll be your bodyguard."

"Okay, since Dali said so, I also believe in his character. Niu Dali, you will be my bodyguard." Lin Yifan announced immediately.

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard the words, and kowtowed again for their kindness.This scene made all the newly joined village masters jealous, and felt a little unbalanced.At any rate, I have contributed to help the adults suppress the thieves, but I don't even have a formal establishment.On the contrary, these bandits who surrendered suddenly became people in the system, and their status was much higher than themselves.I suddenly became unhappy in my heart.Then someone stood up and shouted: "My lord, we are now following you through life and death, but we are not as good as these newly surrendered bandits. We are not convinced."

"That's right, even if we don't have any credit, we still have to work hard. You can't forget us, my lord."

"It's not fair, we sweat and bleed, but in the end we get nothing, why?"

. . . . . . .

Everyone exploded as if a firecracker had been lit, and there was a whimpering quarrel in the hall.Lin Yifan returned to his seat and looked at the angry expressions of the crowd with cold eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about? Do you still think there are adults? Shut up!" Li Huzi yelled fiercely, looking around with tiger eyes, everyone finally bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Hehe, why, are you dissatisfied? Do you think it's unfair?" Lin Yifan sneered, looked around at the crowd, slapped the handrail, and shouted, "Why did I give you official positions? You probably forgot. It's just cooperation. What are you going through life and death for me, what are you sweating and bleeding, what are you working hard for? You are not my subordinates. When you finish fighting the bandits this time, you will be disbanded after dividing the stolen goods. Therefore, you are not eligible to ask for rewards , and I will only give rewards to my own people."

Everyone was silent for a while, but their expressions were different. They understood Lin Yifan's words. After all, the village owners didn't think they were Lin Yifan's subordinates, and they cooperated with him just to share the stolen goods.However, now the young adult has made it clear in his words that only those who are willing to submit to him can get his reward.However, he would rather be a chicken head than an oxtail, and no one likes someone riding on his head.

There was silence in the Hall of Heroes, and some people were already slightly sweating on their foreheads.Lin Yifan was drinking tea slowly, glancing at the crowd from time to time, his heart was trembling, oh my god, what's wrong with me?How dare you say this at this time.If they quit and leave with their soldiers, they will be miserable.It seems that you have to be calm in life, impulsiveness is the devil.

Just when everyone was unsure, Sun San stood up suddenly, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times to Lin Yifan, and said loudly: "My lord, my villain Sun San, I would like to lead everyone in this village to follow me!" My lord. I beg your lord to take it in."

Wow!Everyone was in an uproar.Lin Yifan was also stunned, holding his teacup at a loss.Suddenly hearing Luo Yi's cough next to him, he woke up, quickly put down the teacup, walked quickly to Sun San, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder happily, and said with a smile: "Okay! You both Treat me with sincerity, and I will live up to it. When the bandits are successfully suppressed this time, I will reward you for your meritorious service according to the standards of imperial officers and soldiers."

Sun SanSan was overjoyed, so he accepted his head and bowed, "Thank you, my lord, this subordinate will definitely fight the enemy bravely, and live up to your high expectations."

After taking the lead in demonstrating, many of the remaining people bowed their heads and bowed down, begging Lin Yifan to accept their allegiance.Lin Yifan naturally agreed to each of them, and so on.

Lin Yifan immediately remembered the remaining people who did not want to join, and watched them being squeezed together.I couldn't help snorting in my heart, I deserve it!After this time to suppress the thieves, I will deal with you.
