The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 240 Encirclement and Suppression of the Overlord of Lu ([-])
Regarding the family situation of Bawang Lu and his son, Lin Dajiang had collected some information before, and now, Jia Min wanted to verify it himself.

"How many brothers do you have?"

Jia Min asked.

"No, no, no brother, just me."

"How many sons do you have?"

"Just this one, please spare their mother and son, Mr. Jun, she doesn't know what I do."

"what is your job?"

"I am a bandit from Wulong Mountain."

"Well, it's okay. To be honest, you don't have to suffer. Let me tell you, it depends on how your father behaves. If he can give me what I want, I can consider leaving a descendant for your Lu family."

"Da Jiang, let's hold it down, and we'll talk about it after his father comes. Find them something to eat, and don't scare the children."

After Jia Min finished his explanation, he went to sleep on his own.

Jia Min was not worried about encircling and suppressing this group of bandits.Although it was the first actual combat, with the usual training foundation, equipment advantages, and numerical advantages, even if the bandits had some actual combat experience, they were not afraid.

Moreover, the way the bandits fight is different from that of the army.Most of the time they bully the common people.If they really fight against the regular army, they are not opponents.Especially when they meet a well-trained army like Jia Min, they are no match.

Like the soldiers and horses in Changping Prefecture, it is purely a joke that they have not been able to wipe out even a bandit for so many years.It's not intentional release of water, or their army's combat effectiveness is really poor.

Jia Min was awakened by a loud noise. It turned out that the battle was over and the soldiers of the government corps had withdrawn one after another.

In twos and threes, some carried the corpses of the bandits on their shoulders, and some escorted the bandits.

"Report to Chief Min, the battle is over, we are back. I killed a bandit."

When Qin Zhong saw Jia Min, he hurried over, his face full of excitement.

"Okay, Qin Zhong did a good job. How does it feel to kill someone for the first time?"

Even for soldiers, killing someone for the first time is a psychological barrier, and there will be great discomfort.

"Feel? I don't seem to feel anything. That guy shot me down with one arrow. When I got close to him and took a look, he was out of breath."

It turned out that it was shot to death from a long distance, and the feeling would indeed be worse.However, it is indeed not bad for Qin Zhong to have this psychological quality.

Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun also came back, their faces full of excitement.

"How about our casualties?"

"Five were slightly injured, one was seriously injured, and no one was killed."

"How about the annihilation?"

"Killed 35 people, killed 8 people, captured 26 people, a total of 69 people, all were wiped out. Among them, the bandit leader Lu Wenju was captured alive."

"Let's go and see the wounded first."

The most injured one was Princess Chang'an's squad leader, the fat squad leader who dreamed of chopping wood with a golden axe.

At this time, Princess Chang'an was on the sidelines, helping to tidy up the bandage on the fat squad leader's wound.It turned out that Lu Bawang was captured by the gang of Fat Squad Leader and Princess Chang'an.

Although Lu Bawang was hit by Li Chengbin's arrow, he didn't hit the vital point.Although this guy looks very kind, he is actually an out-and-out gangster.

This guy's vision is also very vicious. Seeing that Princess Chang'an is relatively thin, and Lichun and others are always guarding Princess Chang'an, he feels that her identity is unusual, so he wants to take Princess Chang'an as a hostage.

Lu Bawang took four followers, and he fought with Princess Chang'an and the others.

Chang'an was not an Ansheng person at all, after this period of training, he had some skills, and the other party was just some bandits, so he didn't take the enemy seriously.

In this battle, she was determined to perform well and make great achievements, so she committed the taboo of being greedy for meritorious deeds.As soon as the attack was ordered here, she rushed forward without thinking, and soon broke away from the front line, becoming a situation where a single army went deep.Just happened to bump into head-on with Lu Bawang and the others.

Fortunately, Li Chengbin and Lichun followed closely, so it was not a situation where she was fighting alone with her opponent.

The people around Lu Bawang are all his most powerful, and their fighting power is much stronger than other bandits.At this time, he wanted to take Chang'an as a hostage again, so he desperately desperately.

Fortunately, the fat squad leader arrived and hacked one person to death.Li Chengbin shot another person to death, and only then did he completely relieve her.Chang'an finally hacked another person to death, and finally Lichun and other four rushed forward and captured Lu Bawang alive.

It's just that the fat squad leader was seriously injured and stabbed twice in the stomach.Although the doctor had bandaged him, he was still bleeding.

After hearing Li Chengbin's introduction, Jia Min couldn't bear to talk about her anymore when he saw Chang An's teary face.

No matter how good the usual training is, it is inevitable that such and other problems will occur in the first actual combat.Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and many things are unpredictable.Today's victory has exceeded his expectations.

Jia Min comforted Chang'an a few words, and then came to Bawang Lu.

Seeing Lu Bawang's embarrassment, Jia Min wanted to laugh.It's not because of Bawang Lu's embarrassment, but because of his name.

Lu Bawang is his nickname, and his name is Lu Wenju.This reminded Jia Min of Xue Pan.Xue Pan is known as the Overlord of Dumbness, and his words are written.It's a coincidence that the name of this Overlord Lu is also called Wen Ju.

"Chief of Staff Feng, pass on my order to move to Xiaoshahe to wipe out the bandits, keep it secret for now, and don't leak the news."

"Yes, sir."

Feng Ziying promised to go down to make arrangements, and the government corps escorted the bandits and marched towards Xiaoshahe.In a short time, they came to Xiaoshahe, surrounded the whole village, and blocked the news.

There are only about [-] households in Xiaoshahe. Since it is the closest to Wulong Mountain, there has never been any banditry here.Probably because Lu Bawang believes that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests.

In the best family in the village, Jia Min occupied a house.The owner of this house is a teacher who teaches private schools in other places. It's the Chinese New Year, so he came back home.

At first, seeing so many officers and soldiers coming, I was a little flustered, but later I saw that these people were very friendly, saying that they just borrowed a room for a while, and then I felt a little more at ease.

Lu Bawang's family was brought in.

"Lu Bawang, do you know who I am? Well, we are meeting for the first time, okay, don't be nervous. Of course you don't know who I am. Well, let me tell you something, I caught the old kite Yes, I killed those of your subordinates, do you know who I am this time? Don’t say you don’t know.”

Jia Min spoke slowly, as if he was chatting with King Lu.

"I see."

"Okay, you admit that you know who I am, and what we say next is easy to say."

"Let me tell you first, you and your son don't expect to have a way out. When the time comes, I will hand you both over to the government. Don't have any illusions about this."

"The only thing you can bargain with me now is the blood of your Lu family. This matter is all in your mind. If you behave well, I can consider letting your daughter-in-law and grandson go. Their family's property , I won’t copy it either.”

"Both of them, you can change your name and surname from now on, take your property and go to other places, and the incense of your Lu family can still be passed on."

"If you don't perform well, you don't have to worry. We are officers and soldiers, and we won't kill a child. After all, your grandson is not a bandit."

"However, as a daughter-in-law of yours, you are about to hand over to an official. Don't think that he is wronged. She can't get away with the crimes of gangsters, harboring, concealing stolen goods, and spending dirty money. You have been in office for so many years. Bandits should also understand, and I don’t need to explain this truth.”

"The rest is your grandson. After the three of you become officials, this child will become an orphan. Maybe he will be given away, or someone will buy it. No matter what, his whole life , I can’t hold my head up anymore. It’s doomed to bear the name of a bandit empress.”

"Even if his mother does not die, he will be exiled to Ninggu Tower as a slave. In this life, the two of them will be slaves. Even if your grandson gets married and has children in the future, his descendants will be slaves for generations. "

"I've explained everything to you, let's sum it up together."

After Jia Min finished speaking, he began to drink tea slowly.

In this move, he played the emotional card.

King Lu and his son must not be let go.Not only because they themselves deserve death, but also because it is impossible to keep them as a future trouble.

His daughter-in-law can be let off with him.If he doesn't let go, what Jia Min said just now is not to scare him.

Lu Bawang is a single heir to three generations, even if he is a bandit, he doesn't want to see his family's descendants or descendants being slaves for generations.

Lu Bawang and the others did not add up, in fact there is no need to add up, the reason is obvious.It's useless to add up, it's just a matter of how they choose.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law staring at him eagerly, Lu Bawang softened his heart and let out a long sigh.

"I admit it, what do you want me to do?"

"Actually, don't do anything, as long as you do three things. The first thing is to tell the truth about your collusion with officers and soldiers over the years."

"Second thing, tell me who is behind the scenes who ordered you to kill me this time."

"The third thing is to hand over your floating wealth. As for your land, shop, house, etc., I don't want it. Even if your daughter-in-law sells it, I don't care. Just these three things, it's easy Yes, let me ask, you tell me, if you make it clear, your daughter-in-law and grandson can leave."

"Okay, I said."

Lu Bawang had no other choice, this result was the best for him.

Thus, Jia Min began the process of interrogating King Lu.He asked, and Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun recorded separately.

Although it was expected that Bawang Lu would collude with Ma Shangde's family, when Bawang Lu revealed that he had colluded with Ma Qiming back then and had been in contact with Ma Qiming for so many years, after Chen Jiayin personally came forward to ask him to kill Jia Min this time, It still surprised Jia Min.

Unexpectedly, Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin were so frenzied.There is such a deep connection with a bandit leader, and I don't know what they think, this is purely playing with fire.

No official with a little brain would do this.

But that's what they do.
