After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Li Yanqi was surrounded by his generals and stepped into the main hall of Maozhou Camp. The first thing that caught his eye was two bloody human heads.

He narrowed his eyes, walked over slowly, grabbed the hair and lifted it up to examine it carefully for a moment, hummed with satisfaction, and threw it to Hu Ruiqi and Hu Ruilin.

"Here, I still have some use for these two meatballs."

The smiles that the Hu brothers were about to raise froze on their faces. Hu Ruiqi was impatient, so he grabbed the head in his hand tightly and shouted with red eyes, "Sir!"

"Hush." ​​Li Yanqi extended his index finger and said slowly, "Wait for me to finish. Since I promised you two brothers, I will not break my promise. It will only take me three days."

The two brothers looked at him in confusion.

"Use lime to saltpeter these two heads and place them at the most prosperous market in Maozhou. After three days, you can do whatever you want with them."

"Thank you, sir! We'll do it right away!"

Li Yanqi glanced at the two men's backs, grabbed the military token on the table, flicked it with his fingers, and said lazily: "Let's go and see those who have surrendered."

……

The entire parade ground was filled with darkness. Looking closely, the soldiers in the outer circle were wearing black armor and had stern expressions.

In contrast, the soldiers surrounded in the middle were all covered in dust and looked like they had lost their parents. There was also a group of people dressed in long gowns and dressed like scholars, standing in the front and standing out very clearly.

Li Yanqi sat upright on the reviewing stand, tilted his head slightly, and looked over their heads. He hooked his finger at the one who was dressed the most luxuriously, and said, "You, come forward and tell me."

The man who was called broke out in a cold sweat and trembled as he walked forward and knelt on the ground.

"Your Excellency Li, I am Liu Peng, the assistant official of the government office. The following are also officials of the government office and the camp office. Liu and Han have committed grave crimes that are too numerous to list. Now they have been executed."

"Lord Li is a master of strategy and benefits all people. We really admire him and would like to repay him with a sincere heart."

Li Yanqi raised one corner of his lips, snorted and laughed, and said, "No wonder you are dressed the most luxuriously, you are really good at studying."

"Your Majesty, your words are strong."

Liu Peng seemed to be unable to hear the man's sarcasm, and said respectfully: "In front of Lord Li, I am like Guan Erye showing off his sword. I am honored to read your anti-traitor manifesto, which is truly brilliant and witty!"

"What's rare is that you are also a master of military strategy, and you deserve to be both civil and military, and you have a broad vision..."

"Okay." Li Yanqi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly.

"Soldiers formerly affiliated with the Maozhou Army, step out!"

He looked at the hesitant and frightened people in the audience, and his voice became cold. "I don't like to say things for the third time. Those who were originally affiliated with the Maozhou Army, please step out."

"Shh-!"

The black-armored soldiers drew out their steel knives in response.

It was estimated that more than half of the soldiers stood up, all of them looked pale, some were trembling, and some even drowned their pants on the spot.

"Let me be frank with you. Anyone who pretends to be someone else or deceives others will be punished by being sliced ​​into pieces, and their family members will be implicated as well."

The man spoke calmly, with his head down, playing with a strange black dagger, not even looking at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with weak legs and crawling towards the Maozhou army line.

He flicked the blade of the dagger with his fingers. Amid the lingering sound of metal, he raised his dark eyes and looked at the people who had stepped out of the line. He said slowly, "Those who have killed unarmed civilians and raped decent women, stand up."

Li Yanqi leaned back in his chair and raised his chin. "It's okay if you don't want to come forward. You can report each other. The reporter will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and promoted to sergeant. The person being reported... should be brought forward."

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a strong man like an iron tower walking into the venue, holding an iron pot that was as tall as a woman and that three or four people had to hug.

"I will now teach you how to eat shabu-shabu meat. First, use boiling water to scald the skin and meat, then use an iron comb to comb the cooked meat out one by one and dip it in the sauce."

"Everyone has different tastes. Some people like to eat well-done food, while I prefer to eat it medium-rare with a little color. I just don't know what your taste is."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of howling. Those who ran to the periphery and tried to rush out were killed on the spot by the black-armored guards who raised their swords. The remaining soldiers had no choice but to accept their fate and formed into lines as required.

The smart ones had already realized what was happening and kowtowed to the stage begging for mercy.

Li Yanqi lowered his long eyelashes, tossed the blade in his hand over and over again, raised his thin lips slightly, and sentenced them to death lightly.

"killed."

The fishy smell filled the entire parade ground. The remaining Maozhou soldiers were terrified, and the civil servants were so frightened that they fell to the ground, scratching their necks and vomiting.

The man seemed unaware, he put the dagger into his sleeve, stood up proudly, and said word by word: "No matter who it is, anyone who kills my people, rapes women, or rebels against the state will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, his eyes fell on the people in long gowns. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to vomit. Instead, they kowtowed and begged for mercy with urine and buttocks streaming down their bodies.

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy on me!"

Li Yanqi scratched his earlobe impatiently, "Shut up."

The field fell silent instantly. After witnessing his swift and powerful tactics, no one dared to disobey him at this moment.

"Who is the one in charge of internal affairs in the camp?"

A middle-aged man in a green shirt crawled out tremblingly, "Sir, it's me, it's you."

"Has Maozhou not paid out military pay for two months?"

The man looked up in surprise, forgetting his fear for a moment. It was as if he had been wronged for a long time and now he had found someone to complain to, and he started to pour out all his feelings.

"Yes, sir. Not only the soldiers, but all of us have not received our salaries for two months! I have asked for them to pay, but Mao Ping and the rebel king Liu Ping used various excuses such as horses, armor, and defense to shirk their responsibilities."

"The soldiers now have only two meals a day, and they still eat brown rice. Many soldiers need money urgently, but I can't afford it. Last month..."

Li Yanqi waved his hand, not wanting to listen to their nonsense. "You count the existing soldiers and calculate their salaries. Then go find Zhang Wang to get the silver and pay out the salaries that are owed."

The quartermaster's eyes widened, his face showing ecstasy. He knelt forward a few steps, kowtowed sincerely, and said, "On behalf of all the officials and soldiers of Maozhou, I thank Lord Li!"

……

It's time for dinner.

In the main hall with the door closed, Li Yanqi was half lying in an armchair with his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, his breathing heavy, and at first glance he looked like he was fast asleep.

But the tapping of his fingers on the ebony table betrayed him.

The sunlight came through the window, covering him with a layer of white gauze, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Suddenly, the man reached for his chest, took out a piece of mauve from his arms, and covered his face with it.

A fragrance that sounded like both flowers and fruits filled the air. The man took a deep breath and his brows slowly relaxed. Then he felt the strangeness aroused by the fragrance and his brows furrowed again.

It’s annoying, why is there no way to make people smaller?

If there was such a method, he would definitely carry the owner of the fragrance with him, so that when he wanted to play, he wouldn't have to worry so much like he does now.

Then she changed her mind and decided that it was not a good idea. If she became smaller, she would not be able to play with him on the bed.

Tsk, so annoying.

The death of Liu Ping and Han Guang ended everything, but left him with a huge mess. He didn't know whether he could sort it out in a few days.

The man was still in deep thought when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. He stood up instantly and hid the pink on his face to his chest.

"Big brother!"

The door opened, and Chen Ermu came in with a bowl in his hand, shouting incoherently, "The pork shabu-shabu on the school field is ready. Second brother asked me to call you to eat some!"

As he spoke, he took two bites of meat and a piece of black-faced steamed bun. With one bite, the steamed bun, which was as big as his fist, was eaten in half in an instant.

In response, he was thrown a military token, which hit his head with perfect precision.

"How many times have I told you to knock before coming in?"

Chen Ermu didn't know why the man was so angry. He touched the bulge on his forehead, feeling aggrieved, and said, "I, I didn't knock on the door last time, and you didn't hit me or scold me, brother."

"…I forgot that. Next time you dare not knock on the door, I will beat you up."

Li Yanqi bullied someone, but he stood up without any psychological burden.

"Let's go."

He was the first to walk out of the room, just in time to meet Zhang Wang who was hurrying in with a business card.

"Sir, this is a letter from the Maozhou Chamber of Commerce, inviting you to attend a banquet at Baixiang Tower at 5 p.m."
