There are not so many opportunities to eat black. If you rely on these, it is better to do things steadily.

Jiang Zhen thought for a moment, then let go of the matter and began to deal with the follow-up matters of the trap of the water bandits.

Some people were arranged to go to the warehouse of the water bandits, and they arranged to clean up the water bandits in the village and gather the surrendered people together. Jiang Zhen went to see the wounded under his command.

This battle with the water bandits was not fierce in Jiang Zhen's opinion.

There is no way, most of the water bandits have no fighting spirit. Many people run away when they see them, while more surrender and dare not even run away.

Of course, they still experienced several battles. Because Jiang Zhen did not divide his troops and everyone gathered together to take care of each other, not only everyone practiced in rotation, but no one was seriously injured, and only a few were slightly injured.

However, in Jiang Zhen's opinion, it was a minor injury, and in the eyes of people at this time, it was definitely a serious injury.

Before, these injured people might have started crying, but now they know that Jiang Zhen will still be cured, their emotions are very stable, and some people are in the mood to joke with others: "I'm asking Boss Jiang to activate needles and threads on me, and it feels very good."

"When I get back on the boat, there will definitely be many people who will come to see my wounds specifically, and maybe someone will envy me."

"It just hurts a little...and the scars in the future are probably not good-looking."

...

After Jiang Zhen helped an injured subordinate to sew the wound on his chest, he heard these words and was speechless.

Speaking of which, most of these people are only minor injuries, not serious injuries, and it has a lot to do with the fact that their weapons are not very sharp these days. At this time, it takes a lot of effort to shoot a sharp and good knife. How can anyone have such a good knife?

Most of the weapons held by the water bandits were kitchen knives and hoes. For example, the one who was injured in the chest was that he stabbed a water bandit with a bamboo pole. The water bandit threw the axe that chopped wood at him before he died and cut him.

"The wound has been sewn. Be careful these days and don't let dirty things enter the wound." Jiang Zhen said. He told these people that bacteria and people don't understand them, so he changed it to "dirty things".

It would be great if there was alcohol that could be disinfected...

"Yes! Boss!" The man said, although he was injured, he looked good because of the timely treatment.

After dealing with the wounded, Jiang Zhen walked towards the warehouse. Along the way, he saw many people who were driven out by his subordinates with their heads squatting. Among them were water bandits, and some were seen as those who were robbed back by water bandits.

This village has been around for a while, so it has a very solid warehouse. When Jiang Zhen passed by, his subordinates were still struggling with the door of the warehouse, but they couldn't open it.

This is normal. Just relying on some axe and machete, it is not so easy to split a thick wooden door.

"Cut down according to one place, cut out a hole, and then use a saw to see it." When Jiang Zhen passed by, Lu Da was instructing others how to open the door.

Obviously, he has some experience.

After Jiang Zhen approached, he saw the big copper lock hanging on the door, making a ping-pong sound when everyone hit the door.

"Why don't you unlock the lock?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"We don't have a key." Lu Da glanced at Jiang Zhen, and his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot.

If there is a key, will he need to smash the door?

Jiang Zhen walked forward and kicked him over with one kick, then searched in the cloth strap he tied around his waist.

The experiences of his previous life made Jiang Zhen accustomed to carrying small things on him, and now, he found a pair of iron chopsticks from his waist.

Both ends of these iron chopsticks are a little pointed. They can not only be used as chopsticks, but also be used to wear barbecue and tie hair as a weapon. Now...

Jiang Zhen took it and stabbed it into the keyhole.

This ancient lock is different from that of modern times, it is very easy to open.

Jiang Zhen did not learn any advanced lock-opening skills, but it was still very simple to unlock such a lock.

The huge copper lock opened in response to the sound, and the people around Jiang Zhen looked at him with more and more admiration.

As for Lu Da who got up from the ground... he suddenly realized that it was him who was the idiot.

He underestimated Jiang Zhen again.

"Go in and take a look." Jiang Zhen said, then pushed open the door.

There are many things in the warehouse, including food, various goods, and boxes of silver.

Jiang Zhen opened one of the boxes and saw a lot of money. He was knowledgeable and calm, but his subordinates were stunned, with envy in his eyes.

"All those who participated in the action this time will get fifty taels of silver first. When I go back from the capital, I will also reward me according to my merits." Jiang Zhen glanced at the silver and said directly.

"Thank you, boss!" Everyone shouted together! Fifty taels of silver! You can marry a beautiful wife!

None of these people was dissatisfied with them. If it weren't for Jiang Zhen, they wouldn't have done such a thing. Since that's the case, what's going to be dissatisfied with it?

Even Lu Da had no complaints at this time. He still didn't like Jiang Zhen, but he was convinced of Jiang Zhen.

However, Jiang Zhen was a little confused. How could he take so many things away?

This entanglement lasted only a few seconds, and Jiang Zhen turned his attention to the squatting people outside.

There are many people in this village and they are very complicated.

The most common ones are water bandits composed of nearby refugees, but also some other people.

Most of the local refugees are not water-free. After they rob some ships, they will leave the crew members on the ship to help them do things. Of course, if the people on the ship have other abilities, they will be kept by them.

There are also women and Shuang'er.

These water bandits did not kill women and Shuang'er, robbed them or fled. There were about 200 women and Shuang'er in this village, and they all used them as playthings.

Now, these two hundred women, Shuang'er, and about four or five hundred men, have not even had the idea of ​​escaping, and have surrendered and been watched by dozens of them.

Jiang Zhen closed the warehouse door again and began to deal with the people in front of him.

He first asked these people to identify each other and found out that all the water bandits who had harmed people had tied up.

These people who were scared out of their courage did not dare to lie. The people they identified basically had local accents, and they all looked like they had never been hungry before. You could tell at a glance that they were definitely water bandits.

Then, Jiang Zhen asked these people, especially women and Shuang'er, to decide to stay or leave on their own.

He will give them some money and food if he wants to leave.

Hearing Jiang Zhen’s words, those homes were nearby and those who were brought to this place were immediately moved.

Jiang Zhen can kill them, so naturally he won’t even come to deceive them, so... can they really go back?

However, those local people wanted to go home, but those who were robbed by the water bandits did not want to leave at this time.

Even if they can get out of this village... who can guarantee that they will be safe? Maybe after leaving this village, they will be robbed by bandits again soon.

"Sir, are you from the government?" a middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly asked.

This middle-aged man probably used to be a big fat man, but now he has lost weight by starvation and his flesh has drooped down, looking a little funny.

"No, I'm from Jin Zhen's escort agency." Jiang Zhen said.

The fat man had never heard of Jin Zhen's escort agency. He looked at Jiang Zhen a few times before saying, "Sir, if we don't leave, can you take us away? Sir, if you are willing to send me home, I can repay you with a lot of money."

The fat man looked at Jiang Zhen with hope, hoping that Jiang Zhen would agree to him.

God knows how much he wants to go home!

"Yes." Jiang Zhen agreed without hesitation: "But I may not be able to send you home right away, we are going to the capital."

"Sir, I am a person from the capital, sir!" The fat man rushed to Jiang Zhen in surprise and hugged Jiang Zhen's thigh.

Jiang Zhen hurriedly pulled out his legs, and then he heard the man ask again: "Sir, can you give me some food? I'm hungry!"

Jiang Zhen: "..." I saw it.

There are quite a lot of people planning to leave with Jiang Zhen, there are about two hundred men and hundreds of women. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all stolen by the water bandits.

And they had no other way except to follow Jiang Zhen.

"I will take you with you, but you have to work." Jiang Zhen said directly, then pointed to the warehouse: "You have a meal first, and then move all the things outside to the boat."

Those bandits' ships have now become his.

After saying that, Jiang Zhen pointed at the fat man again: "Of course, if you can give money to hire us like this master, then you are the employers of our escort agency. Not only do you have to work, I will also entertain you and send you home."

Among these people, there are really people with good family backgrounds like this fat man and can afford to pay for employment.

They didn't want to work, so they came out and said where their home was and what they were doing, and asked Jiang Zhen to take them home.

Jiang Zhen took out paper and pen to register these people, and said that they were already the employer of Jin Zhen's escort agency. If the route goes along, he would send them home as soon as possible. If the route goes along, these people would have to wait.

These people were tortured by the water bandits, and how could they disagree now? Hearing Jiang Zhen say this, they all agreed.

Not everyone has money. Most men were ordinary crew members before, and after dinner, they went to work obediently.

But those women and Shuang'er...

"Women and Shuang'er can move less things. If they are pregnant, they can stop working." Jiang Zhen was still very tolerant of these women and Shuang'er.

Many people around Jiang Zhen saw Zhao Jin's training and work with them. When they were in the countryside, women also had to go to the ground to farm, so none of them thought it was wrong when Jiang Zhen said such words.

Those women who are pretty in their faces also think it is normal. In fact, after being robbed by the water bandits, they have to work in addition to being caught and venting their desires, they also have to do work, washing clothes, cooking, growing vegetables... The work is quite heavy.

It was very hard for them to survive. They all survived. Now they don’t have to be ruined anymore. Just doing some work is really nothing.

But... among these saved women and Shuang'er, there are a few women and Shuang'er who are particularly beautiful and have outstanding appearances.

They were very good-looking, even if they were robbed by water bandits, they followed the fixed water bandits, and even directly followed the bandit leader, and then someone was serving them, but now... this person asked them to move the goods?

These people were stunned. One of them was brave, wearing bright clothes and even wearing makeup on his face, and even looking at Jiang Zhen pitifully: "This man, I am not in good health..."

As her eyes circulated, she even threw a charming look at Jiang Zhen.
