Rebirth of the strongest catcher

Chapter 200 Revisiting the Blood Crow Cult (Anti-theft)
Xing Shan and the others rested for a few days before heading to the yamen in Meng County to investigate the deserter.

Just as Zhan Dabao expected, in just a few days, many soldiers fled Meng County overnight with their burdens on their backs because they were afraid of being held accountable by the court.

For the remaining soldiers, it was inconvenient for them to leave because of their old and young family members, but they were also very disturbed in their hearts, fearing that the Shuntian Mansion would hold them accountable, and they were even more afraid that their bodies would be lost.

With the help of the Meng County magistrate, Xing Shan quickly gathered the deserters and lectured them in public, "In the big battle at the Zhu family a few days ago, you had a good opportunity to make contributions and serve the country, but In the end, you all chose to give up. According to the laws of Zhao Kingdom, deserters will be beheaded in public, are you ready to bear the consequences?"

Hearing his words, the soldiers panicked instantly, dropped their weapons, and knelt down towards him, "Excuse me, forgive me, we are indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is only human nature to make the Blood Crow Cult so cruel ah!"

"That's right, we haven't received general training at all. In terms of martial arts and ability, we are not the opponents of the Blood Crow Sect. At that time, there was no other way but to choose to escape."

"Is it possible that we must all die there to be called heroes? If that's the case, we'd rather not eat the royal salary and go back to the countryside to farm honestly!"

Hearing their sophistry, Zhan Dabao suddenly became angry, "You bastards! When you usually pretend to be powerful in front of the people in the name of the court, why don't you say that you want to eat your salary? Now that you are in danger, just think about it." After leaving, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

Zhan Dabao's reprimand made these people speechless. They knew that being a deserter was a capital crime, but they did it anyway, which shows how selfish they are.

Seeing the slumped faces of these people, Xing Shan couldn't help but smile lightly, "Everyone, I called you here today, not to arrest you for torture, but to give you a way to survive."

As soon as these words came out, hope was ignited in the hearts of those people.

"What does Xing Captou mean?"

Xing Shan put his hands behind his back and said frankly: "Not long after, the imperial court will send troops and horses to help us destroy the Blood Crow Sect. By then, those who fought bloody battles for the people will have their merits and demerits balanced, and the past will not be taken into account."

Having said that, his tone paused, and he looked at everyone with a serious face, "But if there are still people who are lucky enough to run away, or don't try their best, then they will be punished together. Don't blame me for not giving you a Chance."

Hearing this, the soldiers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, saying that they were giving them a chance, but in fact they were not going to fight the Blood Raven Cult?

It's just an errand, do you want to embarrass them like this?
Seeing the reluctance of these people, Xing Shan sneered and said sarcastically: "If you don't even seize this opportunity, it is really hopeless. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, and ordinary people know that To protect your family and defend your country, you are living on the imperial court's food and salary, but you only want to earn a living, are you still a man after all?!"

Hearing his scolding, those people finally cheered up and spoke reluctantly, "Yes, Mr. Xing, we will do our best to fight for the people!"

After coming out of the Meng County Yamen, Zhan Dabao couldn't help but asked Xing Shan: "Do you really think this group of mobs can help us? Why do I always feel that they will obey others?"

"What you think is correct."

Xing Shan said calmly: "Not only will they obey the law, but they will also spread the news that the court is about to attack the Blood Crow Cult. In this way, the Blood Crow Cult will run away ahead of time, and they won't have to die."

"Then you also leaked this matter to them?"

Zhan Dabao was puzzled and said, "Could it be that you did it on purpose?"

Xing Shan glanced at him, and asked back: "Do you think Yan will run away with his bloodthirsty temperament?"

Zhan Dabao scratched his head, and muttered, "It's not certain, in the face of life and death, who knows if the devil will be afraid?"

"If he was afraid of the court, he should have compromised with us when we first came to reveal our identity to him, but he didn't."

Xing Shan said bluntly: "So, I think that after the news is released, not only will Yan Xuexie not run away, but he will try his best to fight the court with all his strength, at least to let the soldiers and horses of the court stumble against them. They will bring the Blood Crow Cult to move their positions. Only in this way will they not lose face of the Blood Crow Cult."

Hearing this, Zhan Dabao was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Your analysis makes sense, but I still don't understand the meaning of what you did."

Xing Shan laughed and explained: "If I let the news out, they will start deploying in advance, and we can naturally start deploying in advance. Not only that, although the Blood Crow Cult is heinous, many of them were tricked into boarding the pirate ship. Yes, the news that the imperial court came to pay for the killing has spread, if anyone wants to get lost, they can also take the opportunity to leave, so as not to lose their lives in vain."

Only then did Zhan Dabao understand what he meant, "Do you want to give those innocent people a chance?"

Xing Shan nodded slightly and said frankly: "Yan Xixue added poppies to human blood not only to increase the fighting ability of the Blood Crow Cult, but also to use drugs to control his men. I believe that among these people, there must be some brains Sober people, no matter what their final decision is, we should give them a chance."

Hearing this, Zhan Dabao nodded. From this perspective, he agrees with Xing Shan.

"Then what should we do next?"

Zhan Dabao asked.

Xing Shan clenched his sword and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "It's time to visit the Blood Crow Sect again."

"what?!"

Zhan Dabao was shocked suddenly, he didn't expect Xing Shan's decision to be so abrupt.

Seeing his nervous look, Xing Shan reached out and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm the only one going this time, and you only have to wait outside the Blood Crow Sect. If I haven't come out after two hours, you can The arson outside attracted the attention of the Blood Crow Cult and helped me escape from there."

"But……"

Zhan Dabao was still a little worried, "In case I don't have time to save you, then..."

"rest assured."

Xing Shan smiled and said, "Since I decided to take the risk, I have my own plans. You just have to listen to me."

Seeing his confident appearance, Zhan Dabao had no choice but to nod, "Yes, arrest the head."

At Xing Shan's suggestion, the two waited until dark and then quietly sneaked near the Blood Crow Sect.

Xing Shan asked Zhan Dabao to wait outside the Blood Crow Sect, and sneaked in by himself, intending to explore the reality of the Blood Crow Sect again.
