"No matter how much you like me, you can't change the fact that you are a repeat offender." Zhao Youcai didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was gloomy.

"You will probably think that if you break the city, you will break the city. After the city is broken, you will follow the horse thieves and follow the foreigners." Yang Xuan pointed to the north contemptuously, "Do you know the consequences of following the horse thieves?"

Of course everyone wants to know.

"Bring it up."

Two captured horse thieves were brought to the front.

Yang Xuan asked: "Five years ago, or even earlier, what happened to the criminals who followed the horse thieves?"

A horse thief said: "Most of them are dead."

Yang Xuan smiled, "Why?"

The horse thief hesitated and looked at the prisoners.

"Speak and live." Yang Xuanyan said concisely and concisely.

Wang Laoer raised his right hand, preparing to slap him.

The horse thief sniffed and blinked his bruised eyes after being beaten, "Most of them are dead."

"Why?" Yang Xuan asked again.

The horse thief retreated on his knees, "The horse thieves are all divided into gangs, and those who followed are their own group, but how can they defeat those old people? They distributed the money and food at least, and if they dared to question, they were beaten... Later, most of them resisted... and were beaten

Killed them. The remaining few escaped, and their bodies were later found in the wilderness, all in a mess after being eaten by wild beasts."

The prisoners were trembling, trembling with despair.

"Why is the distribution unfair?" someone couldn't help but ask.

The horse thief looked at the man as if he were a fool, "There are few caravans here, and there are no rich places around. The life of the horse thief is not easy. As long as there is no money and food to plunder for a while, there will be internal fighting... Otherwise,

Why do you think Deng Hu’s men always number more than three hundred?"

"Why?"

The man asked desperately.

Yang Xuan put his hands behind his hands, "Because we can't feed more people, we have to fight internally and kill the extra people! This is the law of the jungle, only the strongest group of people are retained."

Resources are limited in a place, let alone Chenzhou. Therefore, disputes often break out among the horse thieves just to snatch resources.

The convicts who followed him were his stepmothers. They were allowed to do dangerous things, but they were given the least amount of money and food.

What these prisoners long for most is freedom.

"It's not impossible for you to live freely if you want."

Yang Xuan's words shocked the prisoners.

"The only way out is to make meritorious deeds!"

Yang Xuan looked at the prisoners coldly.

"But...but how can we make meritorious service?"

Xiao Laoer, who was wearing his pants backwards and had a bulging crotch, couldn't believe it.

Yang Xuan pointed outside, "Horse thieves will keep coming and harassing them, and those foreign races will also keep coming and harassing them. What should we do? The only way is to knock out their big teeth and let them know that the Tang Dynasty cannot be bullied, and peace cannot be bullied!"

He looked at everyone and said, "Practice, and every time I make a meritorious deed, I will record it and atone for it."

Diao She's eyes turned red, "But in the Ming Dynasty, we fought desperately in the beginning, but those officials... didn't keep their words, and no one cared about my merits."

"I care!"

Yang Xuan's eyes were bright, "I hereby swear that if you make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded for your merits."

Zhao Youcai sighed, "Ming Mansion, Chang'an will ignore Chenzhou many times."

"Do you want to say that Chang'an will ignore your merits?" Yang Xuan received a positive answer, and he said word by word: "If so, I will reward you for your merits."

Behind him, the old thief took a deep breath and said softly: "It is indeed the husband."

The prisoners looked up at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan roared angrily: "I swear by my ancestors, if Chang'an does not record your meritorious deeds, I will go to Chang'an, rush into the Ministry of Justice to question them, and if I still can't do it, I will go knock on the palace!"

Xiao Laoer knelt down.

Individual prisoners knelt down one after another.

Like ears of wheat under a strong wind.

This was the first time an official treated them as human beings.

This is the first time an official has given them hope.

Diao She knelt down, with veins jumping on his neck, and shouted: "I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty!"

"I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty!"

The young man Mingfu said softly: "That's wrong, he died for the Tang Dynasty!"

"I am willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!"

Amid the shouts, Yang Xuan turned around.
