Chapter 1137: Shooting To Fame After One Battle

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo didnt explain things to Ye Biao but looked toward the hostages who were kneeling on the floor.

You guys are free now. The one who did this is me, Swallow Li San. The reason for doing this isnt for anything else but to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.

Sun Mo said in a loud voice, Landlord Zhong is greedy, brutal, and does a lot of evil acts, causing many families to be broken up and destroyed. Take Zhong Xiaolius family for example. Their lands were seized and his younger sister who was below the age of 20 was raped and then sold to a brothel. Who should die if not someone like this?

Sun Mo listed out Landlord Zhongs evil deeds as if he was in great pain.

The servants who had been sobbing softly earlier on didnt dare to make another sound. It was true that Landlord Zhong had done a lot of bad deeds, but as servants, how would they dare to shoot their mouths off for no reason?

In the beginning, they felt that these evildoers were very bad. But now, it seemed that they were really enforcing justice on behalf of heaven.

We dont kill recklessly, so well let you guys leave!

After saying that, Sun Mo planned to leave. However, a servant bellowed out.

You guys killed my older brother!

Is he a guard? If he is, then shut up!

Sun Mo stared at him. If you feel aggrieved, then Ill go investigate if your older brother had helped Landlord Zhong in his evil deeds, forcing women into prostitution. If he did do that, then your entire family would die! If not, Id pay you with my life!

Dalang!

Sun Erniang came running over to check out the situation when she didnt see Sun Mo coming to the front door. When she heard him say this, she was immediately given a fright.

The bandits expressions all changed a little.

That servant shrank his neck back, seeming hesitant but not daring to say another word.

How could a guard dare to go against their masters orders?

Therefore, theyd definitely have done some bad deeds before.

At the sight of this scene, all the bandits shouted out. This was the first time they felt that they werent in the wrong after having killed and committed arson. A lot of the sinfulness they were feeling disappeared.

As for these ill-gotten gains, other than keeping some for ourselves to recruit men and purchase horses, well donate the rest out to help the poor.

Sun Mo looked toward those bandits. Since were eating these foods, we mustnt let the people who had grown them down.

Brother Sun is right!

Fourth Boss, well do as you say!

Were righteous bandits! We dont do bad deeds!

The bandits shouted out, feeling very good.

Ye Biao looked a little surprised when he saw that quite a number of people had started to call Sun Mo the fourth boss. These outlaws were arrogant people, but they were all convinced by Sun Mo after just one operation with him.

He could only say that Sun Mos charisma was very strong.

Come, lets head back to the mountain stronghold!

Sun Mo didnt continue to have those servants take any responsibilities for their actions and turned to leave.

The reason he had said so much was to spread their reputation as righteous bandits. Theyd only be able to attract more people by saying that their actions were intended to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.

Even though the sky had turned dark and it was hard to travel, the bandits who had just accomplished a great operation went on their way energetically without Sun Mos orders.

After all, theyd only be safe after returning to the mountain stronghold.

Brother Sun, why didnt we burn down the manor?

Ye Biao couldnt understand. Killing and arson were often grouped. Without having committed arson, he kept having the feeling that something was missing.

Thered be people whod do it for us!

Sun Mo smiled and looked in the direction of the Zhong Clans manor.

As expected, it wasnt long before a fire started to burn, reflecting an orange-red color onto the sky.

Huh? Who did that?

Ye Biao was stunned.

The villagers. It could be those servants as well!

Sun Mo guessed. It didnt matter anyway.

They wouldnt dare to do that, right?

Ye Biao didnt believe that. Sharecroppers and servants were all lowly people. How would they dare to burn down their masters manor?

Sun Mo smiled, not saying anything.

After a short while, a black figure suddenly darted out from the forest. It gave everyone a big fright and all of them drew their blades.

Dont fight! Its me! Zhong Xiaoliu!

Zhong Xiaoliu panted heavily, running up to Sun Mo and saying, Big Brother, Ive told them according to your instructions.

Youve come back slightly later than planned. You must have come back only after seeing them snatching the food and setting the manor on fire, right?

Sun Mo gave Zhong Xiaoliu a tight hug. Youve been very thoughtful!

Its my honor to be able to give my life to serve Brother Sun!

Zhong Xiaoliu felt extremely touched.

He was worried that those sharecroppers wouldnt dare to snatch the food and wouldnt set the place on fire either. Therefore, he waited there secretly. He didnt expect that they would really do it. It was exactly as Brother Sun had said.

Dalang, you really have a black heart!

Sun Erniang understood now.

The landlords house had too much food, and itd be impossible for them to bring everything with them. Sun Erniang wanted to burn them up, but Sun Mos intention was clearly to share them with those villagers.

Moreover, because the villagers had it over their head from all the snatching, they were trying to destroy the evidence, so they burned down the manor. With that, theyd be partners in crime.

Itd then be harder for the government officials to investigate the case.

Can you please not call me Dalang? Sun Mos lips twitched. It sounds unlucky!

Sun Mo had thought further than that. As long as those sharecroppers had snatched the food, even if they didnt burn down the manor, Zhong Xiaoliu would do it.

Think about it. Xiaoliu and the Zhong Clan had such a great feud. How would it be possible for him not to set the place on fire?

This was all within Sun Mos plan.

Moreover, when he came down from the mountain in the future, leading a vol
