I'm the one running the game

"You are quite educated. You even have a Juyi Hall with tiger skins."

Lv Xingshi sat in the main seat of the Juyi Hall and looked at the row of robbers kneeling below. He couldn't help but tease.

The outside is indeed not very good, but this Juyi Hall is still very good. The decoration is simple, but it has all the necessary plaques, tiger skin chairs, seating arrangements, etc.

It is small but complete.

"Hero... we..." The second in command trembled and wanted to explain something.

But Lu Xingshi stood up and slapped him: "I am talking, where is your place to interrupt?"

If the Juyi Hall only had these things, Lu Xingshi would not deliberately make things difficult for them, but when he looked again, he saw that they used human skulls as containers for lighting lamps, and each lamp was a living person.

To be honest, this was the first time Lu Xingshi met such a cruel person.

The second in command was slapped in the face, and his whole body spun 365 degrees in the air before falling down. He rolled several times on the ground before he got up.

A large piece of his teeth flew out, and his cheeks were visibly red and swollen.

"Tell me, who suggested this decoration style." Lu Xingshi walked around the robbers. He could see that there were many problems in this village.

For example, all these robbers have martial arts skills. Although they are not strong, they are not bad, and some have even reached the third rate.

This is very abnormal.

Because the premise of practicing martial arts is that you have to be literate or have someone to teach you personally. Lu Xingshi has confirmed that no one can read, which means that someone has taught them martial arts.

However, who would have nothing to do with a group of illiterate robbers to practice martial arts? With this ability, opening a martial arts school is much more promising than doing robbery.

"What? Are you all mute?"

"You don't speak when you should, and you have to interrupt when you shouldn't."

"If you use your tongue like this, I think you might as well pull it out." Lu Xingshi's face darkened, and he directly turned on the acquired trait effect of the murderous maniac.

For a moment, everyone was shaking like a sieve.

The acquired trait of the murderous maniac is indeed limited against those masters, but it is extremely useful against this group of scum.

"Yes... it's the leader." The second in command said vaguely. He was the most effective. After all, he was slapped, so even if his face was swollen and couldn't be seen, he hurried to speak.

"The one I hit to death?" Lu Xingshi didn't look like it, only he could have this culture.

"No... it's not him, it's another one." The third in command also spoke at this time.

"What do you mean? Tell me in detail. If you miss the details, I will let you miss something too." This naturally aroused Lu Xingshi's curiosity.

It can be regarded as a hammer that there are still secrets behind this village.

Lu Xingshi could only say that he was worthy of the destiny +300. Every robber he met on the roadside had some secrets.

Then the third boss also trembled and stumbled as he finished the story.

It was probably that after they were forced to become bandits, they were recruited by a mysterious person, and the other party became the real controller.

This mysterious person taught them martial arts and quickly made them degenerate into evil people who killed people without blinking an eye. Lu Xingshi didn't believe this sentence. It was probably that they were quibbling to whitewash themselves.

Then, from time to time, they took them to intercept the caravans and chambers of commerce passing by, but the big heads were all taken away by the people arranged by this mysterious person, and they only took some small things as rewards.

Fortunately, these small things were enough for them to spend their money.

But recently the mysterious person disappeared for about two months. Without the leader, their quality of life dropped significantly, and they were forced to go out to rob on their own.

So a group of robbers who were not very experienced went to rob on the official road.

As for the so-called big bosses, second bosses, and third bosses, they actually took the positions because the mysterious man had been away for too long.

In their eyes, if he hadn't come back for two months, he might have died somewhere.

Fortunately, there was a family in the village and some experience in robbery, otherwise they would have disbanded and found their own way out.

Lu Xingshi also grasped the key point keenly.

"Do you have an account book for the silver, money and food obtained from each interception?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"No... no, we are illiterate and can't do accounting at all." The second boss answered immediately.

"Is the number large?" Lu Xingshi asked in a different way.

"A lot, and the leader seems to know when these caravans and chambers of commerce will arrive." The third boss added, and at this time he could only put all the blame on the mysterious leader.

"Interesting." Hearing this, Lu Xingshi immediately confirmed that there must be a corresponding intelligence network behind this person.

Then he asked about the characteristics of the mysterious leader. Although he was mysterious and didn't know his name, he just asked the robbers to call him the leader, but he didn't cover his face or hide himself. So in the conversation, Lu Xingshi quickly pieced together the man's appearance.

But he didn't have any impression at all. There are so many people in the world, how could he know them all.

As for the martial arts, that was even more impossible. The martial arts of the robbers were all common ones, which were everywhere. It was impossible to tell who taught them.

The man must be gone. He ran away two months ago. What can Lu Xingshi do?

Waiting for him is even more impossible. He still has to go to Tongzhou to investigate the disaster. He can't delay for too long.

So his plan was to kill all of them since they couldn't provide him with enough value.

If they had done so many evil things, don't think about trying to persuade them or not doing anything because they were just a life. Doing so would only cause endless harm.

"So what value do you have?"

"If it's enough money to buy your life, I can let you go." Lu Xingshi showed his cards directly.

How much money would it take for Lu Xingshi to let them go? Of course, it was priceless. After all, life was priceless, so they had to die no matter how much money they paid.

When the robbers heard this, they all rushed to speak.

Most of them were willing to be Lu Xingshi's subordinates or simply play the victim.

Lu Xingshi was very disappointed with this. Wasn't there a better reason?

Just as he was about to take action, Lu Xingshi heard a subtle movement.

"What did you put in the drum?" Lu Xingshi looked at the big drum standing in the middle of the parade ground. He hadn't felt it before.

He didn't have the ability to project his spiritual awareness or mental power. If the other party didn't move, and the distance and the drum skin were separated, and he was focused on arresting people at the time, it was normal for him to ignore the big drum.

Not to mention that the big drum was placed on a wooden lookout about five meters away. If there was an enemy attack, the big drum would be struck to warn.

It wasn't until the drum was struck just now and now it made a collision sound that Lu Xingshi reacted.

The robbers all swallowed their saliva and lowered their heads and dared not speak.

After Lu Xingshi glanced around, he jumped up, and the shadows appeared. The robbers looked back and saw Lu Xingshi climbed up the lookout and tore the drum skin with his hands.

A young man rolled out with a swollen nose and face, breathing in the air.

"Thank...thank you for saving me." After a while, the other party thanked Lu Xingshi when he saw him.

He had indeed just recovered from a coma, but he was not blind, deaf or stupid, so he naturally discovered the changes in the village.

He understood his situation.

"Who are you? Why are you in the drum?" Lu Xingshi asked.

The young man smiled bitterly and told his story.

The other party's name was Pei Ming, a failed scholar. Because he was born in a poor family and was not from Jiangnan, he failed many times and finally lost all his family property. He had to go to another place to make a living. As a result, he was robbed by this group of robbers halfway.

Because he had no money, he was the only one left in the family and could not squeeze out money, so he was beaten and stuffed into the drum for fun.

Fortunately, Lu Xingshi arrived in time, otherwise Pei Ming would have died.

The stuffiness in the drum and the sun made him seriously dehydrated.

"You are lucky, you have been tortured for more than a day, and you are unlucky, I came in time." Lu Xingshi also handed the water bag to the other party with a smile: "Drink in small sips many times. Your body is not good. Drinking too much can easily hurt your body."

Lu Xingshi also checked the other party, fractures, bruises and other related injuries, fortunately not life-threatening.

After Pei Ming took the water bag, he naturally began to drink water according to Lu Xingshi's instructions.

"You have a fracture. I will adjust it for you. Just bear with it." Lu Xingshi said.

Pei Ming was also stunned. Just as he was about to nod, Lu Xingshi had already corrected it for him, and then he felt the pain.

Fortunately, he did not scream, but gritted his teeth and endured it. Lu Xingshi bandaged him again, and then carried him down the watchtower.

"Benefactor, how do you plan to deal with these robbers?" Pei Ming did not know Lu Xingshi's name, so he called him benefactor directly.

"Kill them directly, once and for all, and I don't have to worry about the follow-up matters." Lu Xingshi did not hide it, but spoke frankly.

"If the corpse is not handled, there will be an epidemic. It is better to let them dig a pit for themselves, and then we can fill it with soil." Pei Ming reminded him.

Lu Xingshi looked back at Pei Ming. If you want to say that the living king of hell is you, you have to be the one. He didn't think of this. He originally planned to kill him.

"It would be too dirty for the benefactor to kill them directly. Otherwise, we can divide them into several groups and let them dig the pit by themselves, and then let them bury the other robbers alive. In the end, the benefactor and I only need to kill one person, and even let him dig the pit for burying this person by himself, and we only need to be responsible for filling the soil." Pei Ming derived a more labor-saving method based on the previous one.

This time, not only Lu Xingshi looked at him, but the robbers also turned around and looked at him in horror.

"Good idea, otherwise why do you say you are a scholar? Your brain is much more flexible than mine." Lu Xingshi completely agreed with the other party's method, which really saves time and effort.

"It is best to cut the tendons of the hands and feet of the person buried alive..." Pei Ming didn't know why, at this time he seemed to have opened his mind, and inspiration was endless.
