“Shut up, all of you!”
The scar-faced man stopped everyone and said impatiently to Jing Yi, “Hurry up and do it. I can only cut one off myself.”
“Do you want to cut it off?” Jing Yi asked Su Xiaoxiao.
A short man rushed out and knelt in front of Su Xiaoxiao’s carriage. “Miss,
Aunt! Please, let our boss go! We won’t snatch your things anymore!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If you don’t snatch ours, you’ll snatch others later. You’ve also snatched a lot previously, right?”
The short man choked and said, “Miss, we had no choice. The people at the border were struggling to survive, and the Imperial Court had reduced their troops. They didn’t even give us a salary or silver. We were chased out of the military camp just like that. Our brothers were just trying to make a living. The old and young in the family are about to starve to death… We only robbed those rich businessmen… We didn’t touch a single strand of hair of ordinary people…”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Are you soldiers fromthe border?”
No wonder this group of people was well-trained and knew how to arrange troops and attack from both sides.
The short man said, “Some are, and some are poor commoners who can’t live anymore. They came up the mountain to join us. Miss, I swear on the lives of my entire family that if I say anything false, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, “The situation at the border is tense. We should have increased our troops. Why did they cut the troops?”
The short man said angrily, “If the salary isn’t enough, they’ll protect the regular army first. The so-called regular army are actually the direct descendants of the Leng family. Those of us who went later, who were unwilling to pledge loyalty to the Leng family, and those who were unwilling to submit to the Imperial Court, were all chased out of the military camp by the Leng family. ”
Cutting the troops required a large sum of money, and if one violated military law and was expelled from the military camp, they did not need to pay any money.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at everyone. “Are there members of the Wei family army among you?”
There was silence for a long time.
Suddenly, a sallow young man walked out.
A moment later, a man with a limp on his left foot walked out.
One after another, there were more than a hundred people.
These were all soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the Great Zhou. Who would have thought that they would become bandits?
“Whose subordinate are you?” Su Xiaoxiao asked the first young man to walk out.
“General Wei Xu’s subordinate.”
“And you?”
“Lord Wu An’s subordinate.”
“General Wei Xu’s subordinate.”
“General Wei Xu’s subordinate.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the scar-faced man. “Are you a soldier of the Imperial
Court?”
“I’m not,” the scar-faced man said coldly. “I won’t work for the Imperial Court for the rest of my life!”
It seemed that there was a story… Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Then are you willing to work for your brothers?”
The scar-faced man asked warily, “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “No matter what difficulties you have, a thief is a thief. If the army of the Imperial Court comes, they still have to eliminate you. If you want to save these people’s lives, there’s only one way—submit.”
“We will never submit to the Imperial Court!”
“That’s right!”
Everyone’s dissatisfaction with the Imperial Court had long reached its peak.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her voice. “Not to the Imperial Court, but to me.” The scar-faced man asked strangely, “Who are you?”
Su Xiaoxiao took out two tokens. “Qin Su of the Protector Duke’s Estate. Qin
