Dominate the Country

In front of Chen Ming was a head, Zhou Tianyi's head.

This Lushan County Constable, who had drunk and played with Chen Hui more than once in the past ten years, had a ferocious and terrified face. Chen Ming believed that he must have been extremely scared before he died, otherwise how could the muscles on his face be twisted.

The Seventh Lord, the Seventh Lord, the Second Uncle Chen Hui, Chen Quan and others in the main hall all looked at the head with twisted faces. Zhou Tianyi, they were familiar with him. Such a person who was as corrupt as Chen Hui in previous years was beheaded?

They didn't have the intention to kill. But this head pulled out the ostrich head they had stuck in the sand with bright red blood.

"Don't be silly. We are bandits. How can bandits not kill people when they get officials?"

Chen Ming suppressed the acid in his stomach and swept his eyes across everyone's faces. Whether it was the seventh and ninth uncles who were the most senior, or the second uncle who was the closest to him, they all lowered their heads involuntarily when their eyes met Chen Ming's.

Next to Chen Ming stood Liu Wu, whose legs were shaking, and Chen Erbao, who was holding the knife handle. The knife had just been stained with human blood, and Chen Ming borrowed Chen Erbao's waist knife and used his strength to chop off Zhou Tianyi's head with one knife. Chen Ming did not lose face, and did not lie about the fact that he secretly chopped hundreds of wood with a knife in the backyard of his home, nor did he lie about his strength.

Yes, Chen Ming's strength is not small. From the first day he woke up after traveling through time, Chen Ming found that he was very strong. When he returned to the countryside, he could easily lift the fifty-jin stone lock that the Chen family used to strengthen their bodies with one arm above his head. Although in Chen Ming's memory, he had never practiced martial arts at all, let alone strengthened his body.

So in that knife just now, Chen Ming relied entirely on strength, not skills. Cut the bones, skin and flesh with one stroke!

He could let Chen Erbao do the chopping, but Chen Ming finally decided to do it himself. Because all he had to pay was to overcome the small obstacle in his heart, and what he gained was the submission of the Seventh Lord, the Ninth Lord, the Second Uncle and the Fifth Uncle. Even if this kind of shocking submission was only temporary.

Of course, what he did would definitely impress Chen Erbao. Such a neat chopping off of the head!

Decisive, and ruthless!

"There were 126 officers in total. 17 were injured during the operation, and then they all surrendered."

"After deducting these 126 officers from the Lushan County, how many are left? Everyone knows it."

"The troops withdrawn from Xiang County will definitely reach the city gate before noon tomorrow. With the addition of our people, there will be no problem in breaking into the county. As long as we want, we can kill Chang Rui, the dog official. But we can't kill him. He is a bannerman. He was killed just after arriving in Lushan County. The Qing Dynasty will not let it go."

"Besides, killing officials is rebellion. We are just bandits, and we don't plan to be bandits for life."

"So, Chang Rui can't be killed. If we capture him alive, we will force him to He wrote a letter of guarantee. It would be best if he could keep this secret. If a big thing can be reduced to a small one, our future prospects will be easier. "

"In addition, the county warehouse of Lushan County, and those dogs who took advantage of the situation, must be visited one by one."

"And the grain stores in Lushan County, together with the grain in Changping Warehouse, as much as possible should be transported back to Tumen. This requires a large number of carriages and manpower. So after our team, you also organize manpower, drive horse carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts, and follow behind. When we take down the county government, we will send someone back to pick you up."

It is impossible to empty the grain stores and Changping Warehouse in Lushan County with the manpower that the Chen family in Pingtumenji can mobilize. It is necessary to mobilize the broad masses of people in Lushan County and find a good job for the people of Lushan County.

As long as you are willing to help them, you can get one tenth of the grain if you transport it outside the city. That is to say, if you can transport ten dan of grain outside the county, one dan of it will be yours; if you are more capable and transport ten dan of grain to Tumen Market, five dan of grain will be yours. If you don't want the grain, you can pay silver according to the market price, no cheating, no penny difference!

Chen Ming was on a flatbed carriage, and the people sitting in the circle were all servants. Now that he had just left Tumen Market, he didn't have to wear shackles.

The team left Tumen Market, and compared with the scene when Zhou Tianyi came, the scene of more than a hundred people now was much more impressive. Because they all sat in carriages or rode horses, mules, and donkeys.

Except for the absence of Zhou Tianyi, the few leading figures in this team were still the same as yesterday. After seeing Zhou Tianyi's head, these cowards who were already osteoporotic became more obedient. Chen Ming didn't want them to go to the city of deception, because if they did that, they would have no way back. Chen Ming just wanted them to make a wooden statue that could "take" them to the city of Lushan County smoothly.

Less than two quarters of an hour before noon, two caravans coming from the north stopped for a while at the north gate of Lushan County, and then turned to the west gate. No one would notice this, although the two caravans together had 20 to 30 people, more than ten mules and horses, and seven flatbed carriages loaded with large wooden boxes.

The caravan stopped at two hotels in the west gate, which seemed to bring wealth to the two inns. Just a short while before noon, the lobbies of the two inns were filled one after another. The shopkeepers and waiters of the two hotels were happy, with smiles on their faces. They didn't realize that these sixty or seventy people looked so unfamiliar!

Lushan is a small county, and the total population of the county is unknown whether it is 20,000 or 30,000. As the West Gate of the four gates of the county, how much traffic can there be every day? How many of these people can go to the restaurant to eat? This is all a probability. In particular, each restaurant will have its own old customers and familiar repeat customers. But today, the lobby of the two restaurants was filled with sixty or seventy guests, each of whom looked dusty. They didn't care about the money when ordering big fish and meat. In a small restaurant like theirs, they were considered rich customers, but the two shopkeepers didn't recognize any of them!

If this was put in Gu Long's high-IQ martial arts novels, the restaurant owner would have smelled something wrong. But in the real Qing Dynasty, the people here were not so alert.

Time passed little by little, and noon was about to pass.

The sixty or seventy big men in the two restaurants in Xiguan had eaten and drunk enough, and at this time the car carrying Chen Ming also arrived.

Chen Ming, Chen Cong, Chen Quan and others were sitting on several flatbed carriages, each of them was clamped in shackles, and there were runners holding knives and sticks on the left and right.

This group of people caused an uproar when they arrived at Xiguan.

Those decorations worked. Although the men in Xiguan found that many of the runners were unfamiliar to them, they seemed to be different from the runners when they went out before. But more people focused on Chen Ming, Chen Cong and others, and their doubts about the runners were also dispelled by the decorations that showed up!

"Hey. The men of the Chen family are really tough. They put on the wooden shackles, but they didn't change their faces!"
