Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 444 Capture successful

Ma Dahong was kicked down with his outer clothes scattered, lying on the ground in a mess, with a knife on his neck, and his face showed embarrassment and cruelty of being humiliated.

His hands were tied behind his back and he was dragged out by the border troops and taken to the yard.

At this time, Men also put on her clothes, ran out of the house, and threw herself on Ma Dahong crying.

However, the border soldiers also picked her up and tied her hands. Seeing that Men was also tied up, Ma Dahong's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to struggle but was kicked to the ground by Zhao Mingyuan!

On the other side, Li Jin and his child were also captured by the border troops, and Li Jin's hands were also tied up.

The two children cried and called for their parents, one hugged Men and the other hugged Li Jin.

Ma Dahong was already filled with anger and anxiety, and when he saw his child hugging Li Jin, he felt even more tormented.

But for the sake of the child's safety, he resisted the urge to recognize the child and just turned his head away to avoid looking at the scene.

"General Zhao, right? Haha, it's not unfair that I, Ma Dahong, fell into your hands. I confessed my crime voluntarily, but this family was coerced by me. I also forced this woman to sleep with me!"

"General Zhao has always loved his people like his own children. I'm sure he won't implicate innocent people."

Ma Dahong looked at Zhao Mingyuan provocatively and said.

Zhao Mingyuan sneered, "Whether he's innocent or not, I'll investigate it myself. You can't just turn black into white with just a word!"

"Come here, take her away!" Zhao Mingyuan waved his hand and took Men and the child back to the county government office for interrogation.

When Yao, the county magistrate of Liuguan Town, heard that General Zhao had captured Ma Dahong and his wife and children and sent them to his county office for trial, he hurried out to greet them.

Oh my god, the young general is really amazing. He actually captured Ma Dahong, the boss of the Black Dragon Stronghold! He is extremely brutal and has injured countless passing merchants and civilians.

It was a pity that he, a county magistrate, had no ability to suppress the bandits, and he felt very guilty.

Now that he has been captured by the young general, the people of Liuguan Town and the merchants passing by can finally rest assured.

County Magistrate Yao thanked Zhao Mingyuan with great gratitude, but Zhao Mingyuan did not take it seriously. He believed that with the staff of the county government, they could only handle trivial matters at most. Although the yamen runners were constantly training, they could not compare with the military strength of the army.

To suppress the bandits, we still need the military’s manpower!

County Magistrate Yao simply regards Zhao Mingyuan as his idol. The young general is not only able to fight in the battlefield, but also to suppress bandits. Most importantly, he is compassionate to his subordinates and the people. Only such a person is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of an army.

Instead of being like the previous General Liu, who just held a position but did nothing.

Before General Zhao and his son took over Liuguan Town again, County Magistrate Yao had repeatedly requested General Liu's assistance in suppressing bandits, but General Liu always refused to lend a hand, saying that suppressing bandits was not the army's job.

Most of the other generals, led by General Liu, also turned a blind eye to his call for help.

County Magistrate Yao felt helpless.

But since General Zhao and his son took over the military camp, the atmosphere has improved greatly.

General Zhao Xiao has taken the initiative to suppress bandits many times. So far, he has eliminated more than a dozen strongholds, large and small, and his county jail is almost full.

A lot of food is consumed every day, and County Magistrate Yao is both happy and worried. It is really a sweet trouble.

Zhao Mingyuan handed Ma Dahong and others over to County Magistrate Yao, and said that he would lead people to wipe out the Black Dragon Stronghold.

County Magistrate Yao nodded repeatedly, but there was a hint of worry on his face.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. "Don't worry, County Magistrate Yao, don't be so sad. Once I've wiped out these bandits, I'll take all the bandits from your county office away. They'll be put to other use and won't waste your county office's food."

County Magistrate Yao felt embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't expect that his expression was so obvious that it was seen by General Zhao.

He said embarrassedly: "Ahem, I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you, little general. You've already worked so hard to suppress the bandits, and I've also... well, it's really true that my county government is pretty much a low-income government office..."

"That's fine," Zhao Mingyuan waved his hand, not taking it to heart. "I understand your difficulties. County Magistrate Yao is a good official. After we annihilate the Black Dragon Stronghold, I will leave a portion to the county government, and the rest will be confiscated by the army."

"Of course, that's what we should do." County Magistrate Yao nodded repeatedly.

He was not a pedantic person. Logically speaking, even if the army helped to suppress the bandits, the property seized should be confiscated and stored in the county government. However, County Magistrate Yao was not stupid. He had some understanding of the army's food and fodder supply situation.

The county government office and the entire Liuguan Town are guarded by the border troops. If the border troops are not well fed, the collapse of his county government office will not be far away.

So you have to turn a blind eye to some things. If you take it too seriously, others are not fools, so how can they continue to help you?
