Five-year-old cute baby: traveled back to ancient times and became a grandmother

Chapter 451: Such a Greedy Nature

In fact, when the interrogation officer was at the border, he had just given the money and mentioned it when reporting to the chief officer, but he did not mention Bai Shanquan's words that he would spare his life.

After all, at that time, the summons officer was still mocking the Baiyu Army for not living up to its reputation. He only paid 600 taels to see the true face of the Baiyu Army. He had no idea that this scene would happen today.

At this moment, two thousand soldiers fell into the hands of the Baiyu Army. If he said it at this time, it would definitely be considered that he was colluding with the Baiyu Army to commit treason.

For now he could only remain silent, even though he could feel the questioning eyes of his companions. The interrogator just looked confused and angry.

Even though the Baiyu Army was escorting two thousand soldiers, it only used ten people.

Even so, the people of Da Wan Guo were obedient and did not dare to cause trouble, let alone escape.

Firstly, he had been completely exhausted since being captured, so even though he knew there was something wrong with the food, he had no choice but to eat in order to avoid starving.

Secondly, the thirty people are strung together in a line, so when escaping, all thirty people must run together. If there is one person who runs slowly, he will be a burden.

The route was filled with either mountains or wilderness, which made escape even more difficult.

Finally, although there were only ten Baiyu soldiers escorting them, there were more than twenty ferocious dogs who were well-versed in human nature and were following and guarding them all the way.

Being stared at by these dogs, the people of Dawanguo always feel as if they are sheep on the grassland, and these dogs are herding the sheep.

In the next few days, two or three hundred people were taken away from time to time and there was no news of them anymore. The remaining people couldn't help but start to feel terrified.

Some people bravely asked further questions, but how could the arrested person be qualified to know so much, so the people of Taohua Village naturally ignored them.

The number of people was decreasing, and when there were less than 400 people left, the people of Da Wan Guo started to panic.

However, they were unable to resist when the number of people was only 2,000. Now with such a small number of people, they are no match for the Baiyu Army.

Then some people began to cry in despair and fell to the side of the road, shouting, "I'm not going to leave, no matter what, I'm not going to leave, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

"Yes, I won't leave either. If you want to kill me, just do it." Anyway, I can't escape being killed in the end, so why should I leave.

Some people wanted to continue walking, but since they were tied up with ropes, they could only stand there in panic.

The interrogator also shouted boldly at this time: "It is said that the Baiyu Army is upright. Even if you want to kill or chop me up, you can just say it directly..."

Bai Shanquan rode over upon hearing the sound. He sat on the horse and took a glance. The person who was still crying became quiet instantly.

"That's just a rumor spread by the world." Bai Shanquan: "We, the Baiyu Army, have never said anything about ourselves."

Just as the people of Da Wan Guo were despairing after hearing this, he continued, "But don't worry, our aunt is kind and merciful, and you won't have any worries about your lives."

"Okay, hurry up and get on with your journey. If anyone acts wild again, I think the military dogs won't mind giving them extra food."

As soon as the words fell, the people of Da Wanguo looked at the military dog ​​that had been staring at them hungrily, and their hearts suddenly tightened.

Over the past few days, they discovered that these military dogs were well-trained and obeyed orders. Even the military dogs were like this, which shows why the Baiyu Army is so strong and confident.

No one wanted to become food for military dogs, so those who were rolling on the ground in a tantrum quickly got up. Some were so frightened that they couldn't get up, and then were pulled up by their teammates using ropes.

Seeing that no one was making a fuss anymore, Bai Shanquan raised his voice again: "Let's go!"

After walking for another three days, they finally arrived at the destination, and then pieces of paper were handed to them.

"You are our prisoners now. We in the White Feather Army never take prisoners. If you want to save your life, you must pay a ransom."

Once the explosive bows and three-in-one cannons are deployed, it will be difficult to find anyone alive wherever they go.

"Each soldier needs fifty taels, a centurion needs one hundred taels, a thousand-man needs five hundred taels, and military officers pay eight hundred to five thousand taels according to their rank..." What?
Want money?

When the people of Da Wan Guo heard this, they were stunned.

This is too much. After arresting him, he still wants money.

If you exceed the number of people, you will be fined. If you are captured, you will also be fined. Is the Baiyu Army obsessed with money? !

There are so many rumors, but I have never heard that the Baiyu Army is so greedy.

The interrogator opened his mouth to say something, but when he thought of Bai Shanquan's previous words, he quickly closed his mouth.

Forget it, the Baiyu Army never leaves anyone alive, so everyone can just assume that their lives are safe now. If they provoke them, they might lose their lives.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Now that I am under someone's roof and have to bow my head, I'd better endure it.

Some people couldn't help shouting, but after just two words, they were coldly rebuked: "Money or life, choose for yourself."

"As long as you are tough, we won't force you to take the money."

What choice can there be? Who would want to die?

If you join the army, you can get a salary and avoid doing chores at home. If your family members are willing to do some business or have more land, you can say that life will not be bad.

Each soldier gets fifty taels, which is a lot, but it is not impossible to get.

So, those who could read started writing, while those who could not read begged their fellow villagers and colleagues for help.

If worst comes to worst, there are people from Taohua Village here who can help. After all, there is no illiterate person in Taohua Village nowadays.

There were more than 300 people. Excluding those from the same hometown who helped to pass on the message, even if the others each wrote a letter, it would be done quickly.

Moreover, the ghostwriting service in Taohua Village is very direct and takes even less time.

There were only a few words exchanged, the gist of which was: the mission was unsuccessful, I was captured, and I needed money from my family to redeem my life.

It became even simpler later on, it was just: stop talking nonsense, you've been caught, transfer the money.

There were also those who came from very poor families, or those who had lost all their relatives at home and had no other choice but to join the army. At this time, they could only stand aside with pale faces, holding the papers in their hands.

After collecting the redemption letters one by one, and seeing that these people were at a loss, Bai Qiao asked, "Why, have you made up your mind?"

"No, no, I, we have no family left." Someone spoke, and the people next to him who were in the same situation suddenly had despair and sadness on their faces.

Without family, naturally no one can pay the ransom for them, so there is probably no hope of survival.

Although those who joined the army were mentally prepared from the beginning, if they were captured and died before even going to the battlefield, they would not receive any pension.

But it doesn't matter. I'm all alone, so who can I get the pension for after I die?

Bai Qiao was not surprised after hearing this. She pointed and said, "Then you guys should stand over there too."

These people turned their heads and saw that there were already more than a dozen people under a tree not far away.

The summons officer was also under the tree. Seeing a few more people being driven over, he immediately understood what was going on and asked, "Are you guys homeless too?"

I saw the messages from the little cuties, thank you~~~
