Chapter 240 Hunting
Looking at what happened on the bamboo raft in the distance, Fusu slowly pulled out the Taia sword on his waist, then pointed forward and said, "The warship sets the net."
Immediately, after seeing the flag on the tower ship, seven or eight warships immediately dropped the fishing nets equipped on the ship and slowly approached towards the bamboo raft.
On the bamboo raft, the crocodile suddenly saw such a giant object as a warship appearing, and felt something was wrong and hurriedly sank into the bottom of the water.
However, it was too late at this time. The warships had completed the encirclement and many fishing nets had completely surrounded this area of water.
"Young Master, news came from the warship that a giant thing was entangled by the fishing net."
Upon hearing this, Fusu felt quite happy, and then Fusu knew that at this time, before the last moment, Fusu's face was still calm and said, "Order the warship to launch the bow and crossbow on its own, there is no need to report it."
The soldiers immediately turned around and sent the orders.
With several sounds of breaking through the air, several crossbow arrows as thick as arms shot into the water. In the blink of an eye, a bloody color appeared on the lake.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the warship were even more excited and fired three crossbow arrows into the water in a row.
As the feeling of struggle came from the fishing net was slightly relieved, everyone immediately dragged the fishing net to the dock.
Fusu also walked down the stairs and looked at the excited expressions of the soldiers in front of him, Fusu's mouth curled up slightly.
"Young Master Qi, the monster has been captured."
"Follow me to take a look." Fusu pressed the Tai A sword in his hand and walked towards the place where the soldiers gathered.
Seeing Fusu walking towards this side, the crowd immediately dispersed a road.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but here it was full of light, and many soldiers were holding torches in their hands, making the place shine brightly.
Through the fire, Fusu also saw the monsters in the net.
It is indeed consistent with what I saw. It was a crocodile about five meters. It was not surprising to see the scales on the surface of the crocodile, which was considered to have been sent by the Dragon King.
However, these were all made of paper under the crossbows of the Qin Dynasty.
The crossbow arrow penetrated the scales on the surface of the crocodile's body and pierced heavily, killing him.
Fusu glanced at the soldiers next to him and said loudly: "Everyone, you have made great contributions to the people. I will report this matter to Your Majesty in detail and explain your achievements."
"The Order: All the soldiers involved in this matter will be promoted to the first level of the title, shoot and kill monster warship soldiers, and each person will be rewarded with more hardware."
"We thanked the young master."
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers' faces were filled with joy. How could it not be happy if they just killed this monster and received such a generous reward?
Fusu also knew that his reward was really bigger. After all, there had been no war in the Qin army for a long time, and there was almost no chance to be promoted to a title.
But this time, Fusu thought it was worth it and must be rewarded.
Because this is the first time.
The people here have suffered for decades because of this crocodile. Every year, the daughters of countless families have been sacrificed, and many families have been destroyed.
This first time the crocodile will completely defeat people's fear. From then on, when facing such evil beasts, people will pick up the weapons in their hands and no longer seek the help of illusory gods.
As for something similar to it later, it is naturally impossible to reward such a large-scale. Such rewards are just a benchmark.
This is also because Fusu can make such a promise with his power. If Ying Zheng did not have the power of his king, such a reward would be ineffective.
Even if he moved out of the title of the eldest son of Qin, it would be useless.
"The lieutenant ordered people to take care of themselves here. Tomorrow, I will show this thing to the people and tell them what they have been doing for decades."
"promise."
Regarding Fusu's request, the captain of the Louchuan felt that he would do it even if Fusu didn't say it, because this was the evidence and the credential for his meritorious service.
If it is gone, even if Fusu has the courage to give the big reward that he has promised before, he will not be embarrassed to ask for.
The next day, Wen'an summoned many people in Dangyang County, and the crocodile killed by Fusu was dragged everywhere for exhibition.
In front, there is also the ins and outs of officials explaining the whole thing.
For a moment, the people were panicked as they watched the soldiers drag the terrifying monster, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
The eyes of the soldiers in the tower boat were filled with admiration.
Fusu glanced at all the villagers of Shanghe Village below and said, "The monsters in the water have been eradicated by themselves. From now on, there will be no sacrifices in Shanghe Village."
"If anyone sacrifices again, any sacrificer secretly encourages the people, Gu will not let him go and fill the monster with his head."
Fusu did not say that this monster was a crocodile at this time, but followed the local legend because the harvest was better.
Once it is said that the so-called monster is an ordinary beast in the water. For these people, it is difficult to guarantee that similar incidents will be solved by human sacrifice.
It is simply not to say it out loud, which is an inspiring good thing for them, and for Fusu, it is of great benefit to his reputation.
Many people in Shanghe Village showed gratitude in their eyes, and their eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at Fusu.
However, some of them were extremely difficult to see.
"Absurd!" Uncle Ge suddenly stood up and knocked heavily on the ground with a crutch in his hand.
Uncle Ge looked heartbroken and said earnestly: "Your Highness is a big mistake!"
"Your Highness first arrived here, and I don't understand the details. It was an envoy sent by the Dragon King. How could Your Highness catch and kill him at will? Now he is hunting and parading in the streets and exhibitions. It will inevitably anger the Dragon King. Your Highness, you have harmed us with your arrogance!"
Fusu stared at the old man coldly, and unexpectedly, he was still so stubborn.
Fusu held his hands in his arms and said, "What my father-in-law says is good, but my father-in-law says is heavy."
"Can you know who my emperor's father is? He was the First Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. He was ordered to be in heaven and control the country. Not to mention the Dragon King, the mountains, rivers, plants and trees in the world must be under the jurisdiction of my emperor's father."
"What is it that alone to hunt and kill? It is a thing that harms the people. Isn't it enough for you to suffer the suffering of such monsters over the past decades?"
"Today, I am killing him alone is to enforce the law for my emperor father, and it is the right way for heaven and earth."
Hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed across Uncle Ge's face and couldn't help crying. In the field, some villagers howled with Uncle Ge's pain.
