The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Tiedan led the 13th regiment of troops and marched towards the gate of Yancheng.

When passing by the city gate, County Magistrate Cui

Tie Dan smiled and said to Cui Xiancheng,

"Thank you, sir, for preventing a disaster! I will report your achievements to the Peak Master truthfully. As long as you haven't done anything to harm the people in the past, I will ensure you are safe!"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Cui looked up at Tiedan on horseback with a complicated expression.

At this moment, he didn't care about the humiliating posture of squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and sighed softly.

"I hope so!"

"I also hope that after entering the city, the general will not kill innocent people!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, many officers and soldiers who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands quietly looked up at Tiedan.

Although Qingfeng Village's policy is not to kill those who surrender, these people have had few opportunities to deal with Qingfeng Village before and have no personal experience with it, so they are inevitably somewhat panicked at this moment.

Tiedan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"General? No! I'm just an insignificant deputy leader of Qingfeng Village!"

"Please rest assured, my lord. Qingfeng Village is a righteous army. We uphold the principles of impartial law enforcement, civility, and caring for the people!"

County Magistrate Cui standing by was already stunned.

What's going on? When did the bandits become known as the "Army of Justice"?

At this moment, a garrison officer asked tremblingly,

"My lord, I would like to ask you, how will Qingfeng Village deal with us?"

These words were undoubtedly deeply related to the vital interests of the surrendered defenders, and they all looked up at Tiedan.

Tiedan smiled gently and nodded.

"This fellow asked a good question!"

"Qingfeng Village adheres to the principle of not killing those who surrender. As long as it's not the kind that will anger heaven and man, we will naturally not take action."

"As for your destination, if you are willing to stay and can pass the assessment, you can join our Qingfeng Village. Even if you can't, we will give you land and fields so that you can live and work in peace."

"If you have other destinations, Qingfeng Village will provide you with travel expenses and permits so that you can leave safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the defenders looked at Tiedan in surprise, and then started talking excitedly to each other.

"Look, I'm right, right? Qingfeng Village treats those who surrender very well! Big Head, what do you think?"

"I, I want to go home and farm and be filial to my mother! What about you?"

"I'm planning to try and see if I can join Qingfeng Village. Ermao, what about you?"

"My uncle is working in Huai'an Prefecture, and I want to go and seek refuge with him."

"That……"

"..."

Some people also asked,

"Is what the king said true?"

Tiedan smiled and nodded.

"Of course! The most noble principle of Qingfeng Village is..."

Before he could finish his words, one of the prisoners in the defending army suddenly shouted,

"I know! Fair trade, no cheating!"

Everyone was stunned, and then everyone in the city gate, including the captured guards, burst into laughter.

Seeing that the captured guards began to let down their initial guard, Tiedan nodded secretly in his heart, and then said to everyone,

"What the brother just said is right! This is the principle of Qingfeng Village! And I am just an insignificant deputy hall master of Qingfeng Village. You can just call me deputy hall master, no need to call me king."

"Someone will be here to accommodate you shortly. Please remain squatting against the wall for now to avoid any misunderstandings!"

All the captured officers and soldiers responded in unison,

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The sounds echoing neatly in the city gate shocked County Magistrate Cui who was standing nearby!

The people of Qingfeng Village are really smart. They became friends with these captives with just a few words.

Have you ever heard such a united response from these defenders before?

As the Qingfengzhai army entered the city, it was officially announced that Yancheng had become the territory of Qingfengzhai.
