This time, the old man Yin Ying could no longer survive and died completely.
Master Yunzhen glanced at the corpse on the ground and said with some contempt:
"If there are too many escape routes, you will lose the courage to fight to the death, and no amount of life will be enough."
He also used a copper awl to release thunder, smashing seventeen beads made of rotten Confucian heads, and then attacked the wooden staff.
But there is something unusual about this wooden staff. It was not destroyed by the thunder attack.
After glancing at the wooden staff, he suddenly said to Yuan Chi:
"Send this thing to Lihaiguan and let them deal with it."
After saying that, the lightning flashed on his body and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing him disappear, the two people below looked at the wooden staff.
After being struck by lightning, the wooden stick no longer looked dangerous and looked like an ordinary wooden stick.
Yuan Zhong was about to step forward when he heard a girl's voice:
"Hey, what happened? We were attacked?"
When the two heard the sound, they immediately looked and found that it was Ye Ming and Miao Tong who were coming back.
Miao Tong took a look at the surrounding scene and quickly asked what happened.
There was nothing to hide in this matter, so Yuan Zhong explained the matter.
Ye Ming had already picked up the wooden stick on the ground and took a look at it with interest. Miao Tong also came over.
"This is something refined using evil methods. The evil energy inside is strong and needs to be suppressed and purified before it can be dissipated."
With that said, he snatched the wooden stick from Ye Ming's hand.
"That person said, leave this to Li Hai Guan."
Ye Ming also fought with her for a wooden staff and started communicating with Yuan Zhixin.
When talking about the murder of Master Yun, they always asked Miaotong.
Unfortunately, Miao Tong had never heard of this person and didn’t know where he came from.
But judging from his trust in Lihaiguan, there is no connection between the two parties.
Miao Tong felt a little strange. If he was a powerful figure related to Li Haiguan, then she shouldn't not know about it.
Thinking of this, Miaotong's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Oh, I know! He must know my master..."
Speaking of this, Miaotong suddenly showed her usual wild and wild energy:
"Master has never told me about Aunt Yuya, nor about Master Yunzhao.
And she and her aunt were close friends...
Haha~~ There is a problem. There must be a problem between the three of them! "
The more she analyzed it, the more Miao Tong thought it was possible, her face full of gossip.
Couldn't help but said to Ye Ming:
"Let's go back to Li Haiguan. I want to ask Master about this!"
Ye Ming glanced at her sideways and said:
"Are you sure you can ask this question in front of Fairy Henyu?"
"Uh~~~"
The excited Miaotong felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head.
Also, given her courage, she didn't dare to ask her master this question.
Yuanzhixin also said:
"Miss Miaotong, you have seen the situation in the government office now. This time we have completely broken up with the four merchants, and they have begun to use extraordinary means to take action.
At this time, our manpower is indispensable. "
"I know, I know, actually I don't really want to go back and be disciplined.
However, I can directly use the secret method to pass the letter and ask the temple to send someone.
Well, you can call some more people and stay here and listen! "
Miao Tong said with a smile,
"They are usually disciplined by their teacher with dignity. If they have the chance to come out this time, they will definitely come down the mountain with their heads down."
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain, and Yuan Chixin thanked Miaotong very gratefully.
Miaotong suddenly looked a little at a loss and expressed that she couldn't bear it.
The disaster subsided here, and the officials who had escaped earlier came back one by one. Everyone was afraid to look directly at Yuan Chi's heart, lowering their heads and looking ashamed.
Jiang Xinlin pointed at a group of people and cursed them, calling them ungrateful and timid.
When everyone was scolded by him, they all bowed their heads and suffered silently.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin stepped forward and said:
"Okay, that's it for this time. You guys should do whatever you have to do."
"Sir, you don't blame us?"
Someone asked in disbelief.
After all, when we were in danger just now, everyone abandoned each other and ran away. This was obviously a betrayal to some extent.
In this regard, Yuan Chi thought:
"Although you are serving in the government, you are not Yuan's personal slaves, and you have no responsibility to die in vain. You cannot be blamed for this.
Everyone just relax and keep doing things. "
Seeing that Yuan Chi was really careless, everyone was moved and felt even more guilty. They all went back to Shumin Pavilion with a surge of energy to continue checking the books.
After that, Yuan Chixin arranged for someone to clean up the mess here.
Several people returned to the "Shumin Pavilion" to discuss the next step.
Now that the four merchants have a large amount of ledgers in their hands, it is somewhat unrealistic to overthrow them all at once.
Ye Ming said that although they took the account book, in the final analysis, it was just a pile of paper, and it was actually a treasury, a seaport, etc.
He suggested taking over directly and forcefully.
After thinking about Ye Ming's extremely tough style, Yuan Chi decided to agree.
Anyway, I have offended these people to death this time, so don't leave any room for it.
Immediately ordered the soldiers to forcibly take over the treasury and seaport of Pingbo Prefecture.
However, in this way, five thousand soldiers are still not enough, but it is impossible to continue to recruit more soldiers.
After all, this is King Fu's rear area. If you bring an army of ten thousand people here, King Fu will inevitably murmur even if he trusts you.
However, this matter did not trouble Ye Ming. He suggested that he just mobilize the people of Pingbo Mansion to help.
The common people have been suffering from four families and three merchants for a long time. With a little mobilization, there will be a steady stream of backup support.
In addition, we should not just focus on attacking the workers under the four companies and three merchants, but also divide them.
As long as you are willing to help deal with the four merchants, you are one of our own.
Moreover, it can be promised that after the four merchants are defeated, the "Huimin Chamber of Commerce" will take over the large and small transactions of Pingbo Prefecture.
The "Huimin Chamber of Commerce" is composed of small and medium-sized businessmen and leaders of some labor groups.
This is the best organization for the current people of Pingbo Mansion.
Yuan Chixin agreed to all of Ye Ming's proposals and directly ordered them to be implemented.
With this round of government action, the seemingly powerful members of the four families and three merchants seemed a little vulnerable.
Especially this move to mobilize the people.
As expected, the people responded to the call and helped each other one after another.
The facts are even more unexpected. Due to the recent frequent appearances of "Thunder Gods", there have long been rumors that the four merchants and merchants will suffer retribution.
Now that they heard that the Yuan Prefecture needed their help to take over various places, the people in the city rushed to call for help and organized themselves spontaneously.
The number was much more exaggerated than expected. Almost everything that could move in the city started to move.
Suddenly, the people from the four families and the three merchants who were as arrogant as ever two days ago are now all keeping their tails between their legs.
It's not that Lou Cheng, who is hiding in Lou's house, knows nothing about the outside world. There is a secret passage under the Lou's house that can be entered and exited.
After learning that Yuan Chixin in the government office was indeed attacked, but the attacker was killed by Lei Gong, causing the attack to fail, Loufu Cheng was so angry that he almost died.
He is not one of those ordinary people who are ignorant and easy to deceive. After learning that "Thunder Lord appeared", he knew that the other party should be a powerful practitioner.
This immediately made him feel a little confused. He didn't expect that this person would show up.
Now the resources controlled by the four three merchants are being plundered, and the situation is not optimistic for them.
Lou Fucheng was a little helpless, so he had to call a good man in the house and ask him to go to sea to contact the pirates.
Let the pirates attack Fucheng directly to relieve the current pressure.
There is no other way. Their remaining strength is not strong, so they can only rely on pirates.
It's just that pirates are difficult to control. If one of them is not handled well, he or she will be hurt.
The situation is urgent now, and there is not much to worry about.
After the person who contacted the pirates left, Lou Fucheng waited restlessly.
While waiting, I suddenly smelled a somewhat rancid smell.
Lou Fucheng frowned slightly, thinking that there were some dead mice or something in the house that had become smelly over time.
He was about to let the servants at home handle it, but he didn't say anything.
It turned out that at some point, a zombie suddenly appeared by the window.
This was a zombie wearing iron armor with a toad-like head. It was staring at him with blank black and gray eyes. The putrid smell was emanating from its body.
When Lou Fucheng saw this, he was frightened and fell back. Just when he was about to fall to the ground, he was supported by someone.
A hoarse young man's voice sounded in his ear:
"Master Lou, you are old, so be careful not to fall."
Lou Fucheng turned his head and looked at the person supporting him. He was a young man with a thin body, heavy shadows in his eye sockets, a slightly pale complexion, and a sickly look.
The man was playing with a copper coin in his hand and looking at Lou Fu Cheng with a creepy smile.
Lou Fucheng's body trembled slightly at the sudden appearance of this person.
But after all, he had seen the world. After trying to calm down, he asked:
"Who are you?"
"You can call me the 'Five Zombies', that is, the disciple of the old man Five Poisons."
"Are you the disciple of Master Five Poisons?"
The evil cultivator who calls himself the "Five Zombies Supreme Immortal" smiled and nodded, tossing the copper coin in his hand, and then grabbed it with his palm open, with the back of the coin facing up.
"Let me tell you a secret. I was the one who borrowed food from the Yin soldiers before."
"It's you......"
When Lou Fu Cheng heard this, he was a little surprised.
"That's right. Did you all think it was done by one of King Mullet's men?"
Seeing the other party's surprised expression, Wu Zhanxie Cultivator seemed very helpful.
"Didn't you yourselves take the opportunity to embezzle a lot of money, food and cloth?"
"I wonder why the Immortal came to see me?"
"It's natural to cooperate."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, you need to deal with Yuan Chixin. I also want to refine his righteous body into a zombie for me to follow. By the way, it can also be regarded as revenge for the old thing."
After hearing that it was such a cooperation, Lou Fucheng didn't want to refuse, but he also knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he immediately agreed.
Seeing how sensible he was, Wu Zhan Xie Xiu smiled and took out a piece of scarlet paper:
"That Yuan Zhixin is full of awe-inspiring righteousness. Under normal circumstances, magic and body are useless to him. We need to make a small plan to defeat his life-saving means..."
With the support of the majority of the people in the city, this operation against the four merchants was extremely smooth.
The treasuries and seaports have been completely brought under the control of the government, directly causing the four merchants to lose control over these.
In this way, it can be said to be a great victory.
While we were planning our next move, something unexpected happened.
Lou Fucheng brought Lin Fuwei and more than 20 heads of four other merchants to the government office.
These people all stripped off their upper bodies, tied thorn sticks behind their backs, and knelt in a row at the entrance of the government office, saying they were here to apologize.
Everyone in the government office was surprised when they saw this. They didn't know which song it was singing.
Yuan Chixin went out to check them out in person and felt a little strange when he saw them like this.
When Lou Fucheng saw Yuan Zhixin come out, he immediately burst into tears. He cried loudly and told them that he knew he was wrong, and he came here to ask Yuan Zhixin to show his noble hand and let them go.
To show his sincerity, he even brought all the account books he received from the mansion and gave them to Yuan Chixin to show that he was truly repentant.
This time, Zheng Yuanchi was a little confused.
Although I know that they are most likely pretending, but if someone apologizes like this in public, no matter whether it is true or false, it must be treated as true, otherwise the impact will be very bad.
Yuan Chixin expressed on the spot that he was willing to accept their repentance.
Lou Fucheng immediately said that he would invite Yuan Chixin to have a banquet on the Wubo Lake tonight. At that time, everyone would hand over all the house deeds, land deeds, etc. in the hands of the four merchants.
Faced with such a request, Yuan Chixin obviously could not refuse and agreed in public.
In this way, Lou Fucheng and others got up and left.
