Chapter 388

Wang Dahu inside was first surprised by Ying Mo's identity, but upon hearing the request...

He immediately replied, "That's naturally impossible. You can give up on that idea. We are here to protect the County Magistrate."

Wang Dahu naturally knew he still had to split the money later, so he was very serious. He knew that if he surrendered...

Then he would have nothing.

So he prepared to stall Ying Mo.

He said again, "Can you let us go? We can leave a portion of the wealth in this place."

Wang Dahu was naturally unwilling. Although he had a conflict with the County Magistrate...

He always believed this was their own internal conflict.

He couldn't tolerate an outsider like Ying Mo interfering. If Ying Mo wanted to interfere...

Then that was a provocation to him, so he directly refused the other party.

Ying Mo was not in a hurry after hearing this. He used the information Wu Mian had gathered and said, "... know who you are."

"You are not people raised by this County Magistrate. You were bandits before, and now you have become his private army."

"By my logic, if people like you were discovered by the regular army, you would all be wiped out. Then, not a single one of you would survive."

"Do you want to live a life of exile like this? I think none of you would want that!"

"But as I am now, I can tell you that if you are willing to surrender, I am willing to give you a legitimate status."

"Let you become ordinary commoners. I can let bygones be bygones for what you have done in the past."

"As long as you live properly in the future, I will not blame you."

Ying Mo used his ultimate move. The people around him couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts after hearing this.

Ying Mo's move was too powerful. After all, for every bandit...

Many of them had done wrong things, and some had done very serious wrong things.

But in reality, many bandits also wanted to live a normal life.

Especially when they weren't doing well, they also wanted to appear in front of the government in broad daylight without being arrested.

392. Tempted, Insufficient Strength! (Please subscribe!)

So after hearing Ying Mo's words, Wang Dahu felt there was some truth to it.

He knew that in the beginning, it was because of their own lack of strength and loose discipline that they were easily caught.

Their bandit strength seemed strong, but in reality, in front of the government's power...

It was nothing at all.

They couldn't even handle the people under this County Magistrate.

Let alone anything else.

So they were actually quite tempted after hearing this.

But at this moment, the leader Wang Dahu still refused directly, saying, "You don't need to continue."

"If you continue, we are going to shoot arrows outside."

"I tell you, I only want money, not my life. When the time comes, as long as I take this County Magistrate away, everything can be discussed."

"So we don't want to surrender. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Ying Mo instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

It meant they had already received money from the County Magistrate, so they didn't want to give it up.

At this moment, Ying Mo's face turned cold, and he said directly, "We have another thousand men ready to come."

"If you don't surrender by then, I won't explain much to you. The reason I let you surrender is not because I'm afraid to kill you, but because we want to preserve this building."

"After all, this County Government Office cost a lot of money when it was built, so we want to keep it. But if you really don't listen to advice..."

"Then I don't mind building a new County Government Office."

After saying this, Ying Mo threatened directly, "You think we can't break in under these circumstances, but what if we have a catapult?"

"Do you think we can break in then?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahu was instantly terrified. He was fearless, he thought...

But in reality, he was a person afraid of death. Facing Ying Mo's threat, he actually believed it because he knew Ying Mo's identity; mobilizing such an army...

Was an easy task. So at this moment, his legs were trembling, and his eyes were a bit dazed.

He looked at the deputy commander beside him, but the deputy commander's state was even worse; he didn't even know what to say.

So Wang Dahu took a deep breath and said, "Let me consider it first. Give me half an hour."

Ying Mo said firmly, "Fine, I'll give you another half hour. If you don't give me a definite answer after half an hour..."

"Or an answer that satisfies me, then I will send troops directly. By then, you won't be allowed to have any regrets."

After Ying Mo said this, footsteps were heard, and he walked away.

Hearing this, Wang Dahu felt the other party's decisiveness and couldn't help but feel afraid.

Because he was truly afraid that the other party would bring a catapult. Although his County Government Office was small, it didn't mean a catapult couldn't throw stones in.

Precisely because it was small, his brothers were standing densely. If stones really smashed in, it was possible to kill his brothers.

And he didn't think he could fight Ying Mo, so he felt incredibly miserable.

He called the deputy commander over. He was quite familiar with this deputy commander.

The two of them had been bandits together in the past, so he asked, "Do you think we should surrender or not?"

Hearing this, Wang Dahu thought his brother would argue at this time.

After all, that half of the wealth was not a small amount. But to his surprise, the deputy commander shed tears.

The deputy commander said, "Actually, when the other party said the first sentence, I wanted to surrender, because he said he could help us restore a normal status."

"If I had a normal status, that would be great. When I was a bandit on the mountain, my father was sick and I didn't dare to go back."

"It was because I was afraid of the government catching me. So I am also looking forward to a normal status. Look at us, always being his private army here."

"Although we don't lack food and drink, I look forward to a stable family even more. Boss, why don't we just surrender?"

The deputy commander spoke directly, his words filled with certainty.

Because Ying Mo's words had truly touched their hearts, they couldn't muster any desire to rebel.

393. Normal Life, Homeless Dogs! (Please subscribe!)

At the same time, some of the younger brothers responsible for guarding also turned their heads to look at Wang Dahu. Seeing this, Wang Dahu...

Closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "I brought you out to let you eat and drink well."

"I didn't expect to become a private army for the local County Magistrate and help him do even more shameful things. Since that's the case..."

"I also think this County Magistrate doesn't deserve to live. But you haven't considered a more important problem."

Actually, at this moment, after hearing what Ying Mo said...

He had started to waver. Wang Dahu wanted to surrender. After all, the County Magistrate's wealth was enough to spend, but it couldn't give him a normal life.

In the future, he would still have to hide. Even if he could survive by luck, he would certainly not have his current power and would become a homeless dog.

And he felt he didn't have the ability to have a happy life. Thinking of this, he really wanted to surrender.

But he wasn't sure if Ying Mo would let him live, or if the other party was lying to him.

Thinking of this, he went to the front of the County Government Office and shouted, "Is Ying Mo there?"

Ying Mo was sitting by the chair, and upon hearing this...

He naturally walked over and asked, "What? It hasn't been half an incense stick of time, have you made up your mind?"

Hearing this, Wang Dahu hurriedly said, "We are willing to surrender."

"But we have a question: we are not sure if we can survive, and whether you will lie to us. How can you prove you are sincere?"

Wang Dahu spoke with great righteousness.

His words were full of certainty, but Ying Mo gave a cold laugh.

He let out a disdainful laugh and said, "You need to know what your status is now. I tell you..."

"If I am willing to give you a normal life..."

"Then you have a normal life. But if I am not willing..."

"Then all of you must die. I am not giving you a choice, but a reply. I hope you understand."

Ying Mo's cold words made Wang Dahu feel dizzy. He hadn't expected Ying Mo to mean that.

Wang Dahu had already made up his mind, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Since that's the case, I still want to say one thing."

"That is, our brothers really want a normal life, we haven't done that much, and under the leadership of this County Magistrate..."
