There are not so many opportunities for black people to eat black people. It is better to do things down-to-earth.
Jiang Zhen just thought about it for a while, then let go of this matter and began to deal with the follow-up matters of the water bandit stockade.
Arranged some people to go to the warehouse of the Kaishui bandits, and arranged for someone to clean up the water bandits in the stockade and gather the surrendered people. Jiang Zhen went to see the wounded under his hands.
In Jiang Zhen's opinion, this battle with the water bandits was not intense.
No way, most of those water bandits didn't have the will to fight. Many people ran away when they saw them, and even more people surrendered and didn't even dare to run.
Of course, they have gone through several battles. Because Jiang Zhen did not divide his troops, everyone gathered together to take care of each other. Not only did everyone take turns to practice their hands, but no one was seriously injured, only a few people were slightly injured.
However, in Jiang Zhen's view, it was a minor injury, but in the eyes of people at this time, it was definitely a serious injury.
Before the change, these injured people might be about to cry, but now that they know that Jiang Zhen will still be healed, their emotions are very stable, and some people are in the mood to joke with others: "I am letting Boss Jiang be here. I have needles and stitches all over me, and it feels weird."
"When I get back to the boat, there will definitely be many people who will come to see my wounds, and maybe some will be envious."
"It just hurts a little... and the scars in the future are probably not good-looking."
…
After Jiang Zhen helped an injured subordinate to suture the wound on his chest, he heard these words and was speechless.
Speaking of which, most of these people are only slightly injured, not seriously injured, which has a lot to do with the fact that the weapons are not very sharp these days. At this time, it takes a lot of effort to make a good sharp knife. A good knife, how can everyone have it
Most of the weapons held by the water bandits are kitchen knives and hoes. For example, the one who was injured in the chest was the one who stabbed a water bandit with a bamboo pole. The water bandit threw the axe that chopped wood at him before he died and chopped him down. hurt.
"The wound has been sewn up, so be careful these days, don't let dirty things get into the wound." Jiang Zhendao, he told these people that bacteria and these people can't understand, so he changed it to "dirty things".
It would be nice if there was something that could be disinfected like alcohol...
"Yes! Boss!" The man said, although he was injured, but because of the timely treatment, he seemed to be in good condition.
After dealing with the wounded, Jiang Zhen walked towards the warehouse. Along the way, he saw a lot of people squatting with their heads in their hands who were driven out by his subordinates. Among these people were water bandits, and at first glance they were robbed by water bandits. people who come back.
This stockade is a few years old, so there is a very solid warehouse. When Jiang Zhen passed by, his men were still tossing the door of the warehouse, but they couldn't open it.
This is normal. It is not so easy to split a large thick wooden door with some axes and machetes alone.
"Cut according to a place, cut out a hole, and then use a saw to saw it." When Jiang Zhen passed, Lu Da was instructing others how to open the door.
Obviously, he has some experience.
After Jiang Zhen approached, he saw the big copper lock hanging on the door at a glance, making a ping-pong-pong sound when everyone hit the door.
"Why don't you unlock it?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"We don't have a key." Lu Da glanced at Jiang Zhen, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot.
If he had the key, would he need to smash the door
Jiang Zhen stepped forward, kicked him directly, and then rummaged through the cloth belt tied around his waist.
Jiang Zhen's experience in his previous life made Jiang Zhen used to carrying small things on his body, but now, he found a pair of iron chopsticks from his waist.
These iron chopsticks are a bit pointed at both ends, not only can be used as chopsticks, but also can be used as a weapon to wear barbecue and hair, and now...
Jiang Zhen took it and stabbed it into the keyhole.
This ancient lock is different from the modern one, it is very easy to open.
Jiang Zhen didn't learn any advanced lock-picking skills, but it was very simple to open such a lock.
The huge copper lock opened in response, and the people around Jiang Zhen looked at him with more and more admiration.
As for Lu Da who got up from the ground... He suddenly realized that the idiot was clearly himself.
He underestimated Jiang Zhen again.
"Go in and have a look." Jiang Zhen said, then pushed open the door.
There are many things in the warehouse, there are grains, various goods, and boxes of silver.
Jiang Zhen opened one of the boxes and saw Bai Huahua a lot of money. He was well-informed and calm, but his subordinates were dumbfounded, and their eyes were full of envy.
"Everyone who participated in the operation this time will take fifty taels of silver first, and when they return from the capital, I will reward them for their meritorious deeds." Jiang Zhen glanced at the silver and said directly.
"Thank you boss!" Everyone shouted together! Fifty taels of silver! You can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law!
None of these people are dissatisfied. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhen, they wouldn't be able to do such a thing at all. If so, why are they dissatisfied
It was Lu Da, who had no complaints at this time. He still didn't like Jiang Zhen, but he was convinced of Jiang Zhen.
However, Jiang Zhen was a little tangled. How should he take away so many things
This kind of entanglement only lasted for a few seconds, and Jiang Zhen turned his attention to the squatting people outside.
There are many people in this stockade, and it is very mixed.
Most of them are the water bandits composed of nearby refugees, but some others are also included.
Most of the local refugees have no access to water. After they grab some boats, they will leave the crew on the boat to help them. Of course, if the people on the boat have other skills, they will also be left behind.
There are women and twins.
These water bandits don't kill women and shuang'er, they grab it or escape hard. There are almost 200 women and shuang'er in this stockade, and they are all used as playthings.
Now, these two hundred women and two children, as well as about four or five hundred men, have not even given up the idea of running away, they have all surrendered, and are watched by dozens of them.
Jiang Zhen closed the warehouse door again and began to deal with the people in front of him.
He first asked these people to identify each other, and found out that the water bandits who had harmed people were all tied up.
These frightened people did not dare to lie. The people they identified basically all had local accents, and they all looked like they had never been hungry. At a glance, they knew they were definitely water bandits.
Then, Jiang Zhen let these people, especially the woman and Shuang'er, decide whether to stay or stay.
If they want to go, he will give them some silver and food.
Hearing Jiang Zhen's words, those whose homes were nearby, and those who were carried by the water bandits who came here, were immediately moved.
Jiang Zhen was able to kill them, so naturally he wouldn't have to lie to them, so... can they really go back
However, those local people wanted to go home, and those who were robbed by the water bandits did not want to leave at this time.
Even if they can get out of this stockade... Who can guarantee that they will be safe? Maybe if they leave this stockade, they will soon be robbed by bandits again.
"Sir, are you from the government?" a middle-aged man sitting on the ground next to him suddenly asked.
This middle-aged man was probably a big fat man before, but now he is starving and thin, and the flesh on his body droops down, looking a bit funny.
"No, I'm from the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau." Jiang Zhen said.
This fat man has never heard of Jin Zhen's escort, he looked at Jiang Zhen a few times before saying: "Sir, if we don't leave, can you take us? Lord, if you are willing to send me home, I can pay you a lot of money. "
The fat man looked at Jiang Zhen with hope, hoping that Jiang Zhen would agree to him.
God knows how much he wants to go home!
"Yes." Jiang Zhen agreed without hesitation: "But I may not be able to take you home immediately, we are going to the capital."
"My lord, my lord, I am from the capital, my lord!" The fat man jumped to Jiang Zhen's side in surprise and hugged Jiang Zhen's thigh.
Jiang Zhen hurriedly pulled his leg out, and then heard the man ask again, "Sir, can you give me something to eat? I'm hungry!"
Jiang Zhen: "..." I see it.
There are quite a few people who plan to go with Jiang Zhen. There are about two hundred men and a hundred women. All these people have one thing in common, that is, they were all robbed by the water bandits.
And they had no other way than to follow Jiang Zhen.
"I will bring you, but you have to work." Jiang Zhen said directly, and then pointed to the warehouse: "Wait for you to have a meal first, and then move all the things outside onto the boat."
The boats of those water bandits are now his.
After speaking, Jiang Zhen pointed at the fat man again: "Of course, if you can pay us to hire us like this master, then you are the employers of our guards, not only do you not have to work, but I will entertain you and send You go home."
Among these people, there are people who have a good family like this fat man and can afford to hire money.
They didn't want to work, so they came out and said where their home was and what they did, and asked Jiang Zhen to send them home.
Jiang Zhen took out a pen and paper to register these people, indicating that they were already the employers of Jin Zhen's Escort Bureau. If they stopped by the way, he would send them home as soon as possible. If they did not pass the way, these people would have to wait.
These people were tortured by the water bandits, how could they disagree now? Hearing Jiang Zhen say this, they all agreed.
Not everyone has money. Most of the men used to be ordinary crew members. After eating, they went to work obediently.
But those women and twins...
"Women and Shuang'er can carry less things. If they are pregnant, they can stop working." Jiang Zhen is still very tolerant towards these women and Shuang'er.
The people around Jiang Zhen saw a lot of Zhao Jinge training and working with them. When they were in the countryside, women also had to go to the fields to farm. Therefore, when Jiang Zhen said such words, none of them felt wrong.
Those women are of average appearance, and they feel normal. In fact, after they were robbed by the water bandits, in addition to being caught and venting their desires, they also had to work, doing laundry, cooking and growing vegetables... The work was quite heavy.
Those days were hard, they all survived, and now they don't have to be spoiled, just doing some work is really nothing.
But... Among these saved women and twins, there are a few women and twins who are particularly good-looking and have outstanding looks.
They were very good looking. Even though they were robbed by the water bandits, they also followed the fixed water bandits, and even directly followed the bandit leader, and then someone served them, but now... this person asked them to move the goods
These people were immediately dumbfounded. One of them was more courageous, wearing bright clothes and even wiping her face with powder, looked at Jiang Zhen pitifully: "Master, the slave family is not in good health..."
As her eyes flickered, she even threw a wink at Jiang Zhen.
This woman was originally in the business of flesh and blood. Originally, she planned to be good, so she caught up with a businessman and had her redeemed. She planned to follow the businessman home and become a concubine. She didn't want to be bad luck and was robbed on the road .
Others were crying, but she was thinking about where to live, so she didn't cry or make trouble, she turned around and caught up with the leader of the water bandit, and she lived a good life.
She has no ability, let her leave alone who knows what will happen? Naturally, he made up his mind to follow Jiang Zhen, and even thought about hooking up with Jiang Zhen, who was obviously a leader.
As a result... Jiang Zhen didn't look at her again and didn't say anything, and now... still want her to move the goods
This woman has no choice but to take the initiative to speak up.
After being called by this person and hearing the words "not in good health", Jiang Zhen suddenly remembered something and stopped the women and Shuang'er: "Wait."
"Master..." The woman who greeted Jiang Zhen just now looked at Jiang Zhen eagerly.
"Among you, are there any people who are good at serving people?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Master, I'm good at it!" The woman said quickly, thinking that Jiang Zhen was looking for someone to serve him.
And this job, is there anything better than her
"Don't want a woman." Jiang Zhen frowned when he saw this woman. He wanted to find someone to take care of Zhao Jinge, but the person in front of him did not meet his requirements at all.
Although his aesthetics for Shuang'er were different from those of people at this time, his aesthetics for women were still normal.
This woman has big breasts and a raised buttocks. She looks good and can dress up. She is one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen since crossing the road. Can he feel at ease with such a woman beside Zhao Jinge
Shuang Er can also marry a wife!
It turned out to be a lover of twins! The woman glared at Jiang Zhen, feeling depressed for a while.
"Do you two children know how to serve people?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
There were a few Shuang'er who didn't want to be spoiled any more and hid behind others, and there were also two Shuang'er who didn't care about it any longer and came out.
Jiang Zhen: "..."
Jiang Zhen suddenly realized that these people seemed to have misunderstood what he meant: "My daughter-in-law is a twin, I want to find someone to serve him... Don't look good!" Zhao Jinge always thought that He Qiu grew up very good-looking, if he liked it What about these enchanting twins
The expressions of those two pairs also changed, what a hell, this man didn't look for someone to serve him, but instead looked for someone to serve his daughter-in-law!
Jiang Zhen originally wanted to find an older pair who would take care of others, but he glanced around and found that among those pairs, there was an exceptionally thin and dark one.
This child looked immature, estimated to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and there was a woman in her thirties with an extremely ordinary appearance holding him.
"You two stretch out your hands and show me... What did you do before?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"I'm the cook." The woman was very disturbed. The hands she and the child stretched out were still covered with thick calluses and burns.
They are a mother and son. Because this woman's cooking skills are good, and she insists that her son will fight for her, they were kept by the water bandits together.
"It's just the two of you." Jiang Zhen said, he originally wanted to find someone to take care of Brother Zhao Jin, but thinking about it now... it's not bad to have two.
After choosing the person to take care of Zhao Jinge, Jiang Zhen waved his hand and let the remaining women move their things.
The fat man whose skin was drooping because of starvation was named Luo Tianci. He glanced at Jiang Zhen with envy in his eyes.
There are several people and women in this stockade who are really good-looking, but this person doesn't look down on any of them. It must be the daughter-in-law of the family who is better-looking.
The subordinates around Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Zhen a bit tangled—their boss was too unsympathetic to Xiangxiyu, so how could they let them go to work for such a delicate woman
But... After seeing that these women and Shuang'er were dawdling with each other and couldn't even carry a small bag of rice, these people fell silent again.
It's really useless to look good. If such a person is really married, shouldn't they have to spend money to hire someone to serve them
Jiang Zhen spent a day to get the money and valuable goods in the stockade to be moved to several boats belonging to the water bandits, and then started those boats towards Zheng Yi's fleet.
Before going, he also asked Wang Haisheng to find a small boat and take a water bandit who was familiar with the terrain here to go to the yamen to report the crime.
Before Jiang Zhen only tied up those water bandits and didn't kill them, He Chunsheng was very strange. Now that Jiang Zhen planned to do this, he understood what was going on...
It's just... "Boss, you're going to report the crime, why don't you leave those people behind?" Anyway, it's okay to report the crime and let the plundered people stay, right? The yamen will arrange people.
"I'm short of people." Jiang Zhen glanced at He Chunsheng. Now he needs someone to help him sail the boat, and Zheng Yi is also short of sailors. Under such circumstances, of course he can't leave people behind.
As for the reporting officer... If those scattered water bandits are not dealt with, they will gather again sooner or later. He is not a murderer and has no interest in killing everyone. Of course, it is better to let the government deal with it.
If officials are corrupt and don't care... that's not something he can manage.
There are no big boats on the water bandit side, but some of them are not bad. In order to accommodate everyone, Jiang Zhen picked a total of seven relatively large boats.
In order not to misunderstand Zheng Yi's fleet, Jiang Zhen sent a small boat to report in advance.
The speed of the boat was very fast. After going to report, it came back soon, and Zhao Jinge was still standing on the bow of the boat.
