Chapter 577: If you want people to keep it a secret, all those who know it must die.

When Sang Zhixia came, he had only ten guards and a carriage. When he left, he was followed by more than forty people, stirring up a lot of dust.

The steward who followed them into the village made small talk and asked curiously, "The last time I came to Luobei Village, it was quite lively. Why is there no one here today?"

Sangzhi Xiaxin said, of course you can't see it.

In order to avoid scaring people with today's actions, Sang Zhixia specially sent people to visit every household last night to remind them to stay at home and not go out today.

Very quiet.

Sang Zhixia said nothing. Ling Chu, who followed closely, curled his lips and said, "Most of the villagers make a living on the farm. Now that they've learned about the change of ownership, they're probably all waiting to meet the new owner. How can they have the time to run around outside?"

"We're right up ahead. Follow closely. If we see you here, the people waiting might think your future master is unruly."

The manager was choked and looked dissatisfied, but looking at the long knife across Lingchu's waist, he forced himself to swallow back his dirty words.

The group quietly crossed the village and arrived at the main gate of the farm. Sang Zhixia stepped back calmly, and the guards who were originally scattered around also moved closer.

Lingchu stretched out his arm and put his arm around the steward's twisted neck, saying casually, "We're here, come with me inside to take a look."

"Everyone behind, keep up!"

Although the people who followed had received Peng Yuanliang's prior instructions, they were not vigilant enough and did not notice anything wrong at first, so they followed him into the farm.

Sang Zhixia pursed her lips meaningfully, lowered her eyes to look at the reins in her hands, and said lightly: "I'll leave this to you."

Song Liu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Boss. Once we get to our territory, not even a mosquito can fly out."

Without warning, a burst of terrified shouts erupted from the crowd that had all entered the farm, but the sound was like a tiny splash in a huge wave and was quickly suppressed.

Sang Zhixia was sure there would be no more mistakes and was about to leave when Xu Tongsheng trotted over and whispered, "Boss, Yungui wants to see you."

Yungui and others were tied up this morning, with gauze soaked in anesthetic stuffed in their mouths. They collapsed in the enclosed cellar like rotten shrimps.

Xu Tongsheng thought about what he had seen from last night to today and said with a wry smile: "He..."

"Why should I see him?"

Sang Zhixia twirled the whip in her hand and said lightly, "He's just a traitor. All I have to say now is to try to exonerate him or to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, but I don't need that."

The loyalty of such people is useless.

Xu Tongsheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Then according to your opinion, how should these people be dealt with?"

"Isn't Meng Pei here? He will take care of it."

Meng Pei, who came from a bandit family, had plenty of ways to torture people, and it was easy for him to take the lives of Yun Gui and others.

As if noticing the flash of pity in Xu Tongsheng's eyes, Sang Zhixia chuckled and said, "Uncle Xu, without thunderous means, you can't show your bodhisattva's heart."

"I've been planning this for a long time, even having Su Wensheng and Wang Jie fake their own deaths. It's impossible for them not to see blood."

It’s just that the deaths of Su Wensheng and Wang Jie were just a show, and what Yun Gui and others have to face is the real thing.

Xu Tongsheng sighed helplessly.

Sang Zhixia retracted her gaze and said softly, "Uncle Xu is soft-hearted. I'm afraid he can't stand seeing this. Why don't you go home and rest first? I'll invite you over when everything is done."

Xu Tongsheng politely declined Sang Zhixia's suggestion to have someone escort him and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Sang Zhixia stood beside the horse and waited quietly for a while. After making sure that the people who had entered were under control, she threw the reins into Cheng Yi's hands and said, "Keep a close eye on this side. I'll go home and wait for news."

"yes!"

As soon as Sang Zhixia entered the door, Master Zhang arrived.

Arriving with Master Zhang were two copies of the deeds that had been signed and sealed at the county government office not long ago.

Master Zhang whispered, "Master said this is an important item, so I rushed to deliver it to you so you can rest assured. In addition to the two portions today, I also want to give you these."

Peng Yuanliang had previously reclaimed and cultivated large tracts of land in the three northwestern cities, with a total of more than 3,000 acres of registered arable land. All the land deeds were here, and the names on them had been changed to Sang Zhixia's.

Sang Zhixia glanced around and laughed, "Master Liu is really quick."

"Well, these have been prepared long ago, so how can there be any unhappiness?"

Master Zhang explained with a smile, "When that bastard Peng Yuanliang registered earlier, he only said one deed per city would suffice. So, in total, there were three deeds, one for a thousand acres."

"To please the Master, he only wrote his own name on the blank deed when signing it, and said that the rest of the deed was not worth looking at. If the Master could just turn the Dragon and Phoenix, the owner of the deed would naturally change."

Sang Zhixia became the contractor and Peng Yuanliang became the seller.

When these things were delivered to Sang Zhixia, the official filing and recording had already been arranged, without any mistakes.

Sang Zhixia dusted off the few light deeds in his hand and asked playfully, "Where's Boss Peng? Is he still in the county government office?"

"Speaking of which, thanks to the things you gave me, the man is still asleep."

Old Qi gave a bottle of Soul-Losing Drunk, one drop of which could make a person fall into a dream for many days, but Lord Liu was cruel and ruthless, and poured the whole bottle into Peng Yuanliang's teacup.

When Master Zhang set off, Peng Yuanliang was tied up like a pig, but he didn't react at all.

Master Zhang gritted his teeth in relief, "That drug is too potent. I'm afraid the man won't even wake up when he's on the guillotine. That guy got away with it."

Sang Zhixia raised an eyebrow and smiled noncommittally, thanked Master Zhang and wanted to invite him to stay for a while, but Master Zhang waved his hand and said, "You have taken care of this, but there are still many things to do elsewhere."

"I won't stay any longer today. Goodbye."

Before leaving, Master Zhang suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, before I came here, my master told me to tell you that everyone in the main camp is doing well. This ragtag group of outsiders can't stop the bloody blades of our northwest. Please wait at home in peace. The news you get back will surely be good."

Sang Zhixia said thank you sincerely, looked up at the rising sun, and slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves.

I just hope everything goes as I wish...

At the same time, a cold broadsword slashed through the air, and a head with wide-open eyes smashed into the mud and rolled far away. The surroundings became silent.

Wu Lian rushed forward on horseback and said quickly, "Master Xu, this area has been cleared!"

Peng Yuanliang took advantage of the coming and going of the caravans to get the people hiding here from all over the place. None of them survived and they were all killed today!

Xu Yu raised his hand to wipe away the blood splatter on his forehead and said calmly, "Burn it. Don't leave any traces."

"Where's Lieutenant General Wu?"

Wu Lian's eyes shone with a chill that lingered as he spoke, "We followed the clues and arrested a total of 632 people, leaving not a single one alive."

"Where are the people who have had contact with Peng Yuanliang?"

Wu Lian was startled and whispered, "There are over a thousand people involved, two of whom are officials from Xizhong. According to investigation, these people didn't know the purpose of Peng Yuanliang's visit to the northwest. They just accepted the benefits and provided some conveniences. This..."

"kill."

Xu Yu coldly spat out the word "kill," and looking at Wu Lian, whose expression changed slightly, he said, "If we don't kill them all today, mentioning this person again in the future will be a hidden danger."

"And it's not just my hidden danger."

"Military Advisor Wu, if you want to keep this a secret, everyone who knows must die."

"Do I need to tell you this truth?"

After today, everything and everyone related to Peng Yuanliang will be wiped out in the world. There may be many people who have heard of him, but no one will know what this man did in the Northwest.

All of them were cut down at once. The three new farms that Sang Zhixia acquired today were clean and there would be no more troubles.

Wu Lian's eyes were stung by the cold murderous intent emanating from Xu Yu's face. He then thought about it and shook his head in self-mockery: "I am indecisive."

"Someone, go and pass the message!"

"Leave no one behind!"
