Chapter 758
After the bandit leader heard this sentence, his pupils shrank violently, and he became incomparably nervous.
To him, this matter could be big or small. If it was not handled well, it would mean losing his head.
So at this moment, the bandit leader began to kowtow rapidly. Ying Mo asked directly at this moment: "Have you ever killed any passing travelers?"
After the bandit leader heard this sentence, his face turned deathly pale instantly.
To him, killing people was naturally a common occurrence, and in fact, among this group of bandits...
... although there were many people, those who had joined during this period...
... were just ordinary farmers before. Although they had strength, they were not good at fighting.
But this bandit leader had taken them all in as his lackeys. At this moment, he was cautious for a while, and finally shook his head: "I have not killed anyone."
Seeing this scene, Ying Mo was furious. The other party was already at death's door, yet they were still quibbling in front of him.
This was completely not holding him in any regard, because Ying Mo could tell from the other party's reaction just now.
This person was definitely lying to him, so he spoke loudly: "You dare to deceive me! You actually dare to kill passing travelers."
"Then, no matter what your purpose is, someone come and drag him to the side and behead him!"
Once these words were spoken, the bandit leader was startled instantly. He had never thought that he would die today...
... but he also knew that since Ying Mo had already issued this order, it naturally would not be changed.
At this moment, he spoke directly: "Then I admit it, I have killed people. But I can tell you, if you want to go to Huishan County through this road..."
"... that is an impossible thing. There are people blocking the road all along the way."
"If you dare to continue walking forward, then I can guarantee that your final result will definitely be miserable. Many people along this road cannot afford to eat, you will definitely die!"
When he finished saying this sentence, he was immediately pressed firmly to the ground by the guards beside him.
He could not even speak, his mouth was pressed against the ground, and he was extremely painful and uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Ying Mo did not even turn his head. He glanced at the group of bandits behind, and instantly felt that this situation was indeed possible.
After all, everyone was now trapped in a mysterious disease, and coupled with the lack of human labor, grain was likely to be even more scarce.
The only thing to be thankful for was that they hadn't sown seeds this year, so they had some grain left from last year, which could allow them to persist for some time.
Otherwise, before this plague was resolved, I fear hunger would have already taken everyone away.
At this moment, Ying Mo stood at the very front and spoke to all the bandits: "Now listen to my orders. If you have moved against ordinary people since joining this bandit tribe, stand out immediately."
430. Kill Without Mercy, Devoid of Conscience! (Seeking subscriptions!)
After Ying Mo finished saying this sentence, the group of people beside them did not move for a while.
They were very panicked in their hearts, and they didn't know what to do about this matter.
They knew they definitely couldn't win, so they were also very desperate at this moment.
Ying Mo saw that they didn't move, so he shouted loudly: "Then I will count to three. If no one stands out, then I will begin to investigate carefully."
"By then, if you are investigated, it won't just be a simple beheading. By then, I will use various methods on you to make you confess honestly. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ying Mo shouted loudly at this moment. That group of bandits were people with narrow minds and small guts.
So at this moment, some people walked out directly. At this moment, their complexions were very displeased; it was obvious they had killed people.
Ying Mo did not hesitate in the slightest, and directly let the guards beside him kill all these people.
This order instantly set off a storm, but one must know that before, these twenty or thirty guards could resist several times the number of enemies.
And now, killing people was naturally even easier for them.
The remaining people saw this scene before them, and everyone was panicked.
Because to them, they had never thought such a situation would occur.
Subsequently, they were also waiting for Ying Mo's further actions.
Ying Mo scanned over at this moment, and he took a rough look.
These people before him didn't look abnormal from the outside, and each one looked very honest, but as the saying goes, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
So at this moment, Ying Mo spoke again: "I have just screened out a batch of people."
"And I have already killed a batch of people. These people all deserved to die; they all killed their own compatriots. But you remaining people..."
"... I don't know exactly how many of you have killed people, but I can tell that you are still worth saving."
"So I will trust you one last time. If this were normal times, you would definitely have to go to prison, but now you don't have to."
"As people of Huishan County, I hope you can stop adding to the chaos in times of crisis."
"How much difficulty your actions have caused, I think you should know yourselves."
Ying Mo kept telling these people the reasons at this moment, because Ying Mo was actually also a relatively kind person.
If it weren't for some special reasons, he wouldn't take action, and even less would he use force.
At this moment, the people below heard these words and were trembling, very nervous.
After all, Ying Mo looked very benevolent to them on the surface now.
But in reality, if Ying Mo wanted to kill them, it would also be a very easy thing.
Ying Mo asked at this moment: "Do you know if there are any other bandits ahead?"
The reason Ying Mo asked this sentence was because the bandit leader just now said there might be enemies ahead.
So at this moment, Ying Mo asked first to see what the situation was. If there were indeed enemies ahead, then Ying Mo would have to prepare to deal with it in advance.
Although Ying Mo was not afraid, Ying Mo did not want to waste too much time here, so at this moment, he chose to inquire.
After all, sharpening the axe does not delay the work of cutting wood. After he finished inquiring at this moment, he heard one person stand out and speak: "I will not hide it from you."
"I am relatively familiar with the situation behind. Behind us, there is another group of bandits, and they occupy the last mountain peak."
"As long as you pass that mountain peak, you can reach Huishan County. But there is a very bad thing at that mountain peak."
"It is because that is a canyon; if one wants to pass through there, it will be quite dangerous, because there is only one road there."
"987 So they are blocking the way ahead. You must charge through. Of course, apart from that, there is nothing else. After all, many people cannot even afford to eat now."
"The bandits who can have a little bit of strength are probably just our group. Other people don't have any combat power, so naturally, they are not worth worrying about."
"However, we want to ask you, Young Master, to spare our lives. We were also forced by circumstances; we really had no food to eat, so we came to do this kind of business."
"Otherwise, of course, if we had any other way, we wouldn't come to do this kind of thing. We know this kind of thing is devoid of conscience."
"But we just want to fill our stomachs."
At this moment, one person said this, and other people also began to beg for mercy one after another. They knew their lives were already controlled by Ying Mo.
So at this moment, only by begging Ying Mo could they possibly survive again.
So at this moment, expressions of wailing appeared on their faces.
431. Fill the Stomach, Unimaginable! (Seeking subscriptions!)
When Ying Mo saw this scene, he nodded.
Subsequently, he said: "Since that is the case, then you go. But I warn you, if I see you continue to rob again..."
"... then the final result will not be this good. The blood that this sword in my hand has drunk today is not enough. I do not hope that you will become ghosts under my sword."
Ying Mo was speaking seriously at this moment. Those bandits were not originally specialized in robbery.
They just had no food to eat, so after hearing this sentence that Ying Mo said, they became even more panicked.
They hurriedly indicated that they would never rob again. Seeing that they all repented...
... Ying Mo showed a satisfied smile. Subsequently, after letting them go, Ying Mo led his people and continued to head forward.
On the way, the two Mohist Elders said: "Young Master, I still want to tell you one thing. Actually, these bandits have colluded with each other."
"Then it is very obvious that they have dealings with each other. So this time, even if they say they didn't lie, I actually think it is also a lie."
"Because their appearance tells me that they definitely have problems."
"I still hope you, Young Master, can discern more carefully. Next time you encounter these situations, you don't need to spare them anymore."
At this moment, Ying Mo naturally knew what the other party meant.
Because before this, the two Mohist Elders wanted to kill all those people, but Ying Mo did not kill them.
So at this moment, Ying Mo explained: "You might think I am too benevolent..."
"... but in reality, it is not so. The situation in Huishan County now is different from other situations. If an accident happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"And now the situation in Huishan County, I think you should also be clear. If the number of people who have died here has already reached a very high figure..."
"... then I still hope to leave some people here, regardless of whether they continue to stay here or go elsewhere. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ying Mo was speaking particularly seriously at this moment. After the two Mohist Elders heard this sentence, they were greatly moved.
They instantly understood Ying Mo's meaning, which was that if they killed all these people, then they would all be dead, but if they didn't kill them...
... if these people could continue to linger, they might continue to stay in Huishan County. ===== CHAPTER 760 =====
