These words aroused the indignation of the people.

"If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have starved to death!" One person gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat his flesh and burn his bones.

"Kill him and avenge them!" Another man raised the axe in his hand, flashing a cold light.

In order to leave the Yan family with no place to seek help, the Zhang family bought up all the food in the city early on.

Even the Yan family sold some of their stored grain for unknown reasons, after all, the price offered by the Zhang family was too high.

This means that if the Zhang family does not provide food.

Other grain merchants simply cannot provide that much grain for disaster relief.

Originally, there was enough food in the city to wait for the support food ship, but this led to a shortage of food in the city.

This is what led to the people hearing that the food supplies had been burned, which ignited the last spark in their hearts.

Countless people have died or been injured as a result.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng could only see the dark crowd, their eyes full of hatred.

They came towards him with simple weapons such as carrying poles, sickles and axes.

These weapons were originally tools of production, but they can also be transformed into weapons of resistance.

Countless people surrounded the man in front of them and looked at him viciously.

Zhang Cheng had been wealthy since childhood, so he had never seen such a scene, seeing these insignificant people and common people whom he had once ignored.

When they gather together, they are like an unstoppable torrent.

"My family is rich. I can give you money. If you have more than you can spend, how about ten taels per person? How about a hundred taels?"

Zhang Cheng knelt on the ground, his hands shaking uncontrollably, trying to impress the people in front of him with benefits.

This tactic has always been effective in the past, because these benefits are enough to impress everyone.

But today, is something different?

His words did not cause any ripples.

Anyone who can come here has some blood in him. How could he possibly accept such conditions at this time?

"We are poor, but there are some things that money can never buy."

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!" "Kill him!"...

The voices came one after another, these were the voices of the people.

One person took action and swung the carrying pole in his hand, hitting Zhang Cheng on the back.

Zhang Cheng only felt a burning pain, and the precious embroidered clothes on his body could not block any attack.

His wealth could not save his life.

After one person took action, the people behind him rushed forward, some using sickles to cut his flesh, and some using axes to chop his patella.

Almost instantly, amidst the screams that resounded through the clouds, Zhang Chengjiu disappeared from the world, without even a complete corpse left.

All that could be seen was a pile of broken limbs and flesh on the ground.

The members of the Ming Cult stood aside, maintaining simple order to prevent unnecessary conflicts among these refugees.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian left this place and came to the Yan family.

At this moment, the door of the Yan family was closed, but it could not stop Yang Dingtian from coming.

Yan Ming was with Yan Sidao at the moment, explaining some precautions.

After today, he wanted to hand over the power of the Yan family to the illegitimate son in front of him.

But suddenly, he saw a person appear in the study. Although he was frightened, Yan Ming calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"

Yang Dingtian didn't look injured at the moment. Seeing the two people from the Yan family, he said expressionlessly:

"The leader of the Ming Cult, Yang Dingtian."

Yan Ming and Yan Sidao were stunned when they heard this. Is this person the fourth on the world list?

Is this the leader of the Ming Cult?

But he reacted immediately, bowed and said, "Greetings, Master of the Ming Cult."

The two men kept a low profile because if it weren't for the person in front of them, the Yan family might have been destroyed.

"The head of the Zhang family has been destroyed, and they no longer have any influence in Huainan.

You can take some of the food and replenish the supplies on the sunken ship."

When these words were spoken, the two were surprised and happy. They were happy that they had actually defeated the Zhang family and even the imperial court did not intervene.

What surprised me was that the speed was so fast. The Zhang family was one of the two richest business families living here alongside me.

They were destroyed so easily. Maybe there are still some branches of the Zhang family in other places, but they no longer pose any threat.

Thinking of this, and the strength of the Ming Cult, the Yan family members lowered their posture even more:

"I wonder what the leader wants?"

When he spoke now, he also changed his address and wanted to get on board with the Ming Cult.

Because of this incident, they realized that relying on the court's army and the court's supreme master would be worse than waiting for death.

Yang Dingtian was also taken aback. He didn't expect these two people to be so sensible. He nodded:

"Then it will be up to you to annex the Zhang family's assets.

Your industries overlap somewhat, so it's easy to get started, so I think it shouldn't be difficult either."

"Thank you, Master." Yan Ming said.

However, he bowed again and requested, "Now the Zhang family still has some martial arts masters in other places.

I also ask if you could send some experts to facilitate the process."

Although this was a request, it also exposed the Yan family's power and even assets to the Ming Cult.

I think he wants to have a deep bond with the Ming Cult.

At this moment, both people in the Yan family felt that the Ming Cult would achieve great things in the future, so they made a desperate bet.

Whether from the current or future perspective, betting on the Ming Cult is the best choice.

"Okay, someone will contact you later." Yang Dingtian nodded, and was about to leave after this matter was over.

"Master, wait a minute." Yan Sidao stopped Yang Dingtian and said quickly:

"Master, although we have a legitimate reason for this, we cannot be labeled as traitors by the imperial court.

Now that the eldest prince of the Dagan court is here, we can go and discuss something with him.

At the same time, we also have some influence in the imperial court, and the Zhang family is now weak.

The officials that the Zhang family had once funded might not necessarily take action.

Therefore, we can manipulate the court to resolve this matter."

There was nothing wrong with what Yan Sidao said, but he was also thinking about the Ming Cult.

Yang Dingtian also understood that this was not the time to go against the court, so he naturally had no objection, but he was going to meet the eldest prince at the moment.

He said, "I will go see the eldest prince of Dagan, and you can discuss the matter with the court."

Then he turned into a stream of light and left, leaving only the two people from the Yan family.

The two exchanged glances. Yan Ming looked at Yan Sidao at this moment and patted him on the shoulder:

“These things are up to you to handle.

Remember, we cannot take the Zhang family lightly. We can take advantage of the fact that the head of the Zhang family is dead.

When the master is away, we must seize control of the surrounding trade routes as quickly as possible. We must not allow the Zhang family to revive!"
