Chapter 62 The Terrifying Aspects of Xie Xiu

Soon, Xie Xiu learned that the other officers and soldiers had found the dead archer in the dense forest.

He thought of Xie Ying's reminder and her sudden high fever and coma, and suddenly had a guess in his mind, so he went to see the dead archers in person.

Noticing that these people had no obvious injuries, he tentatively asked the officers and soldiers, "Can you tell how they died?"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, and no one could explain it clearly.

They are not coroners, and there are no obvious injuries on these people's bodies. How can they tell how these people died?

However, the way these people died was really strange, and it made people feel cold all over.

The leader of the troops, a captain named Fang, shook his head and said, "I don't know. We'll know after the coroner takes a look."

Xie Xiu then asked, "Could it be that someone poisoned someone to silence them, but the person who administered the poison didn't control the dosage properly, causing the poison to take effect prematurely?"

General Fang was surprised when he heard this: "This... can't be the case? If that's the case, then these people's deaths are too unjust!"

Xie Xiu lowered his eyes, hiding the coldness in them, and said calmly, "These archers were originally bandits, and they have taken countless lives. Now that they are dead here, it can be said that they deserve it.

Fortunately, they had an accident and all died early. Otherwise, if they were allowed to hide in the dense forest and shoot arrows from behind, the casualties would be huge. "

At the end of his speech, Xie Xiu's face quickly turned gloomy, and the face of General Fang was not looking good either.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that Xie Xiu was right.

If these archers had not died, the team would have suffered heavy casualties, and even Xie Xiu would have been in trouble. As the captain who was responsible for the secret protection, he would have been to blame!

Unlike now, not only does he not have to take responsibility, he has also made great contributions!

Catching so many bandits is a great achievement.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xie Xiu ask, "What are your plans next, Captain Fang?"

Fang Bazong looked at him puzzledly and said hesitantly, "Of course, we should take these bandits back and parade them through the streets!"

Xie Xiu gave a meaningful smile, "Captain Fang, don't you want to make another contribution? Although this achievement is not small, it has also offended these bandits.

If we fail to eradicate all evil and root it out, hidden dangers will inevitably remain, and the other party will be at a disadvantage in the future.

In Xie's opinion, since so many bandits have been dealt with and many have been captured alive, why not give them a chance to redeem themselves from their crimes, let them tell us the location of the stronghold, and then clear it out.

If there are other strongholds around, perhaps we can find some way to eliminate them as well.

In this way, General Fang was not only able to eliminate future troubles, but also to make great military achievements and become a famous bandit-suppression hero.

In the future, your glorious record of suppressing bandits will surely be recorded in the county annals of Biyang County for future generations to admire.

"I wonder what Mr. Fang thinks? Are you willing to take the risk and make this bet?"

At first, Fang Bazong wanted to refuse, thinking that the risk was too great.

If this bandit suppression mission succeeds, it will naturally be a great achievement, but if it fails, it will be a serious fault!

By then, not only will he not have any credit, but even the credit for capturing those bandits will be lost!

But after hearing the latter part, General Fang was finally persuaded.

He felt that what Xie Xiu said was right. There must be many accomplices in the bandit’s camp, among whom might be the bandits’ parents, brothers, wives, and children.

If we don't completely eradicate the people in the village, wouldn't we be nurturing a tiger to cause trouble?

What if someone came looking for revenge on him in the future and he was completely defenseless? What if the other party came looking for revenge on his family...

Thinking of this, General Fang immediately made a decision!

He looked at Xie Xiu with a burning gaze, "Mr. Xie is right. As imperial officers and soldiers, we should eradicate all evil!"

Xie Xiu smiled slightly, complimented him appropriately, then called Song Xingzhou and Tu Yong, and the four of them discussed the matter of suppressing the bandits together.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves, and from the sound, it seemed that there were quite a few people!

Everyone instantly became alert. Someone even climbed up a nearby tree to check what was going on. Then they excitedly shouted, "It's the commander! The commander is here!"

When Fang Bazong heard this, his expression changed slightly, becoming a little distorted.

He knew that the other party must have received the news and was worried that something might happen to Xie Xiu in Biyang County, so he rushed over specially.

But once the other party arrived, he, a small captain, had to share the credit.

Naturally, General Fang was extremely unwilling to do so.

Unfortunately, the other party's official position was two levels higher than his. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to greet the visitor with a smile later.

Xie Xiu noticed his reluctance, so he whispered, "Captain Fang, the opportunity is right before us. Now that the captain has arrived, I think the bandit suppression will be a sure thing."

Mr. Fang came to his senses instantly.

Yes, the captain came, and he just brought up the matter of suppressing the bandits!

With the support of the captain, why should he worry about not being able to suppress the bandits?

If the bandits are successfully suppressed, he will not only get more credit, but also please the commander.

Then he instantly smiled and his eyes lit up.

When General Zhou arrived with fifty cavalrymen, what he saw was General Fang's flushed face.

He glanced at the bandit who had been knocked down not far away, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Is this guy surnamed Fang acting arrogant because he thinks he has done something great?

However, when he saw Xie Xiu standing aside, unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Forget it, as long as Xie Xiu didn't get into trouble in Biyang County.

He quickly dismounted, strode over to Xie Xiu, and gently inquired about his condition, "Is Mr. Xie injured?"

Xie Xiu bowed politely and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. Fortunately, Captain Fang came to my rescue in time, and I am not injured."

In fact, even if Mr. Fang came later, he would not be injured.

However, Xie Xiu was a smart man, so he naturally had to make his words sound nice. This statement not only thanked Captain Zhou Qian but also helped Captain Fang to claim credit, which naturally made both of them very satisfied.

General Fang smiled and made a few polite remarks, and in return he praised Xie Xiu and Song Xingzhou, and then he talked about the bandit suppression with General Zhou Qian.

Because the plan had been discussed before, when he spoke about it now, it was naturally clear and logical, which made General Zhou Qian extremely satisfied.

Although he came here, as a superior he must be able to share some of the credit.

But taking credit from subordinates is not as satisfying as making contributions yourself.

What's more, there are hundreds of these bandits. Even if there are bandits left in the village, there shouldn't be many who can fight. Most of them are probably women, children, the elderly and the young.

As long as you find out the location of the village, the problem is not difficult to solve.

So General Zhou Qian made a decisive decision to eradicate all evil!

Xie Xiu helped interrogate the bandits. After promising them that they could redeem themselves from their crimes, he soon learned the location of the village from the surviving bandits.

In order to prevent things from changing, General Zhou Qian decided to act as soon as possible.

Although he only brought fifty cavalrymen this time, each one was an elite force. After the attack, he easily captured the entire village.

Then they asked the bandits for the locations of other nearby villages and began to eliminate them one by one.

The villages are in competition with each other, so these bandits are not only ruthless in betraying the enemy, but are also afraid that they will not be able to gain any merit if they speak too slowly.

So they all scrambled to sell out enemy intelligence, leaving the officers and soldiers speechless.

It was the first time for them to realize that it was so easy to make a contribution!

What they didn't expect was Xie Xiu's outstanding performance.

This man had planned everything out, allowing them to easily wipe out all the nearby villages one after another!

Everyone looked at his calmly smiling face in the firelight, and inexplicably felt a chill all over their bodies.

On the other side, Mr. Bai also secretly returned to his residence under the cover of night.

He couldn't leave any clues, so there was someone who had to be dealt with cleanly.
