Time to kill!

Chapter 66

Hui Shigang resolutely walked out of the sheriff's office, and saw the crowd of common people kneeling at the door.

When everyone saw someone coming out of the room, they immediately became excited and wanted to gather around to inquire.

It can be seen that Hui Shi is wearing armor, obviously a military officer, so he shrank his head again, did not dare to get up again, and continued to kneel down.

On the one hand, the military officer is really not easy to mess with.

On the other hand, it is also because of such a major matter involving the livelihood of the entire county that the military officer usually has no way to make a decision.

Ask and ask in vain.

Now Hui Shi is acting as the deputy of Captain Chen Tong, and is gradually completing the handover of power. After the handover is completed, he will be the local key person in charge of the military defense of this county.

However, now he is still only a deputy, and if he wants to lead the troops to ransack the house, he still has to report to the captain's yamen first.

Ever since Cui Heng came, Chen Tong, who was already so busy, finally got some leisure. He played boxing every day, raised flowers, drank tea, and lived a fairy-like life.

He had already decided to take refuge in Cui Heng, and planned to take the title of an aide in the Sheriff's Office after the transfer of power from the Captain was completed.

Then just lie down.

After working so hard for so many years, the world is still in trouble, and he is too lazy to do anything anymore.

It's just that the major merchants have gone too far this month, and Chen Tong still can't help taking care of some things.

For example, sending troops to guard food and salt to avoid being robbed by others.

As for the pawn transfer order sent by Huishi, he just looked at it casually and agreed.

Don't even ask.

But this time is different.

After Chen Tong saw the contents of the transfer order, his eyes widened immediately, he raised his head to look at Hui Shi in astonishment, smacked his mouth and said, "Do you want to copy everything?"

"That's right." Hui Shi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "By my lord's order, the entire family of the merchants on the list will be confiscated. If they encounter obstacles, they will be killed on the spot!"

"Okay! I've been fucking disgusted with these dogs!" Chen Tong jumped up, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to lead the soldiers."

"Then I would like to thank Lord Captain." Hui Shi said with a smile.

"It's me who should thank the prefect." Chen Tong chuckled, and his admiration for Cui Heng increased a little in his heart.

In fact, he had the same idea as Liu Litao at first, and he didn't think that Cui Heng could handle the chaos in Lu County, at most he could rely on his martial arts to protect himself.

After all, he didn't go to Juhe County in person, nor did he have contact with Cui Heng in person. His knowledge of Cui Heng only came from some military newspapers and rumors.

Naturally, there is not much confidence.

But this month's food and salt battle to gather the hearts of the people made him dumbfounded and admired extremely.

What made him even more unexpected was——

In the end, he really dared to be so ruthless.

Great!

Really great!

……

Together with Chen Tong, Hui Shi raised [-] soldiers, and directly killed the first grain merchant on the list in a mighty manner.

Along the way, countless people watched and speculated.

"There are a lot of soldiers, and the captain is the leader. What, why are you going? We are going to fight?"

"Haven't all the swallow thieves been punished by the heavens? Who else can they fight? Is there some beast that appeared to kill the beast?"

"Hey, I see, it is indeed necessary to fight a war, and to kill beasts, but the war of profiteers is fought, and the profiteers are also killed!"

"So, could it be that the prefect decided to take action against those profiteers?"

"That's great, damn those profiteers, they actually raised the price of grain to fifteen times the original price!"

"But I heard that behind these profiteers are some big sects, big families, and our original prefect can't afford it!"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

Of course, the onlookers were not only ordinary people, but also the servants of the merchants' homes.

Seeing so many soldiers marching with murderous aura, they were all trembling with fright, and ran home to report the news.

The first stop Hui Shi and Chen Tong were going to was the home of Li Chong, the largest grain merchant in Lu County.

This Li Chong was originally a servant of Sun Liansheng, the elder of the Taichong Sect, and was later sent to Lu County to manage the grain business.

It has been more than 30 years so far, and they have accumulated an extremely rich family property, with more than a thousand servants, annexed land totaling tens of thousands of acres, and the mansion compound is built like a palace.

Master Huang in Juhe County is nothing compared to him.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good! It's not good!" Li's servant ran back panting, shouting as he ran.

"What are you yelling for?!" Li Chong shouted dissatisfied.

Then I saw him walking out with his fat body dangling, with two beautiful young girls supporting each of his left and right hands, rubbing his arms against the girl's delicate body as he walked.

"What's going on?!" Li Chong frowned and looked at the servant, and said with a sneer, "You've disturbed my pleasure, sir, if you can't explain why, it will blow your mind!"

"My lord, Chen Tong and the governor of Cui brought people to kill them!" The servant said anxiously, "Why don't you invite Mr. Sun?"

"Fuck your mother!" Li Chong kicked the servant over and cursed, "I'm afraid of Chen Tong, so why would he dare to kill me? Why bother Sun for such a trivial matter?" Son, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

He is backed by the Taichong faction. In the past few years, whether it is doing business or getting along with officials, he is used to being domineering.

He didn't think Chen Tong, the captain, dared to kill him at all.

After all, if he was killed, it would be tantamount to offending the Taichong faction, and at the same time offending several sects and families that had good relations with the Taichong faction.

In turn, it will affect the livelihood of the people in the whole county, and make people in all places feel miserable.

This is not a price a captain can afford.

Tatata!

At this moment, Hui Shi and Chen Tong led two hundred soldiers to the gate of Li's house in a hurry with the orderly footsteps of soldiers!

"Who is Li Chong?" Hui Shi stepped forward and asked loudly.

"Where did you come from, get out!" Li Chong yelled angrily, "You don't have a place to talk here, let Chen Tong come over!"

He didn't know Hui Shi well, and he didn't take him seriously.

"Who are you?" Hui Shi asked, while putting his hand on the handle of the knife.

"I am..." Li Chong was about to speak, but a servant came over and whispered something in his ear, and he suddenly showed a look of surprise, "So you are the new county guard, this is the battle in the grain and salt business. But I, want to come and snatch it?"

"I'll ask you again, are you Li Chong?" Hui Shi narrowed his eyes.

"Go away, if you want to know who I am, let your sheriff come over and ask!" Li Chong cursed, pointing directly at Hui Shi's nose.

"It seems that you are Li Chong!" Hui Shi suddenly nodded.

Immediately, he drew out the steel knife, and chopped off the fat pig's head with one swipe!

puff!

Blood gushed out, and Li Chong's plump body became a headless corpse on the spot.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed on the entire Li family mansion. Everyone was stunned, motionless, and watched this scene in horror.

Huishi held the head with wide eyes in his hands, looked around with the knife, and shouted sharply: "The prefect has ordered that Li Chong raise the price of grain, and the people will not be able to live. This is a heinous crime!

"Now that the whole family is confiscated, anyone who dares to stop him will be killed on the spot!"

At the same time, in the corner of the house.

Li Chong's son was so scared that his face was as pale as paper, and he said to the servants beside him tremblingly: "Quickly, go out through the back door and go invite Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun Panshi!"

Chapter 67 Killing a Man's Head Rolling

The south of Lu County has always been a place of wealth and honor, where deep houses and large courtyards gather.

Sun Panshi had already bought a five-entry mansion here as a temporary residence, and recruited hundreds of servants to teach them martial arts.

The outer disciples of the Taichong Sect, who are called by the euphemistic name, are actually raising private soldiers.

Others such as Tianjianmen, Qingyuguan, Fashan Temple, etc. also have similar practices.

After all, in this chaotic world, there are too many accidents, and only with enough force in hand can we protect ourselves.

Three to five hundred servants who know martial arts, learn some formations, and equip well-equipped weapons are enough to defeat thousands of lacking food and clothing and insufficiently trained infantry in the front.

At this time, Sun Panshi, Wang Jinsheng, Peng Lanzhi, Ouyang Zhen and others were gathering at Sun Panshi's home to hold a banquet to celebrate.

This celebration was naturally because Cui Heng's food and salt were cut off, and he could no longer fight with them.

And now the price of grain and salt has soared to [-] times the original price, which is just right for them to make a lot of money.

Especially Sun Panshi and Wang Jinsheng, the grain and salt industry in Lu County, they are the absolute leaders.

"Everyone, it's such a joy to kill the little county guard with a victory this time!"

Sun Panshi raised his wine glass to salute everyone, and laughed heartily, "He has run out of ammunition and food, and he will come to visit me in person to apologize in a few days, hahaha!"

He completely forgot that he had made a guarantee before Cui Heng came, saying that Cui Heng would visit him to apologize within three days.

However, everyone didn't tell the truth, they just toasted and drank, in line with Sun Panshi's words, but they were thinking about their own calculations in their hearts.

Cui Heng, the trusted county guard, is obviously not a soft persimmon.

The background is also amazing.

To be able to forcefully fight the grain and salt war for a month, with grain and salt being transported every day, and the specific source cannot be found, it is simply unimaginable.

Sun Panshi and Wang Jinsheng have great achievements in these two industries, so they won't be hurt.

But their main business is in other aspects, and food and salt are just a supplement. In the past month, several shops have been unable to hold on and closed their doors.

This caused them to lose a lot of income in Lu County.

Although Cui Heng's food and salt have been cut off now, it should be impossible to fight, but the experience of the past month is still fresh in their memory.

Subconsciously, he felt that the new sheriff was not easy to mess with.

There is no need to head-on.

Moreover, now it is grain and salt, will it be coal, ore, and cloth next?

That's their main business.

Moreover, the foundations of Tianjianmen, Qingyuguan, and Pingchuan He's family are not in Lu County.

The industry here is an expansion beyond its own basic market, and its foundation is insufficient.

When you gain power, it will naturally go smoothly, but once you encounter continuous attacks like grain and salt, you will probably be defeated.

If they lose their share of the property in Lu County, their own sect will of course organize forces to retaliate, but they, the specific industry leaders, will definitely suffer.

Must plan ahead.

Of course, these thoughts can only be calculated in the heart and secretly, and it is impossible to tell Sun Panshi and Wang Jinsheng.

"Brother Sun, don't be too happy." After Wang Jinsheng took a sip of wine, he suddenly started to sing a different tune, and said with a smile, "How can you be sure that Governor Cui won't jump the wall in a hurry, and simply copied all your properties?"

"He dares?!" Sun Panshi glared, and sneered, "Looking at the entire Lu County, who would dare to offend the combined forces of our factions, unless it is because they don't want to live."

"What if he really ate the bear's heart and the leopard's guts?" Wang Jinsheng shook his head and said, "Brother Sun, we are competing for the position of state shepherd this time for the once-in-a-century fate, so we must be cautious."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang." Sun Panshi didn't dare to shake his prestige in front of Wang Jinsheng, poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Even if the little county guard has the guts, he doesn't have the ability.

"We have thousands of soldiers in Lu County, and they are all high-ranking soldiers who know martial arts. Why would a small county guard dare to raid his house, just those hundreds of crooked infantry? Brother Xian is really worrying too much."

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

"My lord, my lord! There is something urgent! Something important!" This was the voice of a servant of the Sun family.

"What's going on, didn't I say don't let people disturb you?" Sun Panshi roared to the outside, "Say what's going on, or get out!"
