The people in the house started to panic when they heard the sound of the door being broken outside. Although they had conflicts with Tang Zhilin before, there had never been a direct conflict.
Zhu Qingqing remained calm: "Open the door!" She was sure that there was no evidence left in this stronghold, but no one noticed her quietly moving towards a corner.
As the door was opened, soldiers holding torches rushed in and took control of the situation in an instant.
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
"I'm a good citizen! Are you bullying me by taking advantage of your power?"
"Zhu Qingqing ran away." Xiao Hei reminded.
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand indifferently, it didn't matter if one person ran away.
"You damn little bastard! I've known for a long time that you're not a good person!" A big man saw Fang Zhiyi and kept struggling.
Tang Zhilin frowned.
"Go ahead and arrest me! What if you arrest me? Tomorrow everyone in the city will know that you're arresting people indiscriminately! Spread the news, Tang Zhilin, and see if you can still hold on to your position!"
"That's right, it's not like Grandpa hasn't been there before, and he still has to let people go in the end!"
"Zhiyi, arresting a few people is a small matter, but if this matter is reported to the higher-ups, I will..." Tang Zhilin also knew the seriousness of the matter. Although he relied on force to gain power, the governor also told him that there are many factions in the court today, and they are constantly fighting each other. He must have a basis for doing things.
"That's right." Fang Zhiyi threw the knife in his hand to the soldier who clasped his fists, "What evidence do we need to wipe out the rebels? Look, the rebels killed this... uh... Captain." He looked at the clothes of Gongsun Hu lying on the ground.
“This is the best evidence.”
Everyone present was stunned.
Pure frame-up?
No, it's not a frame-up. It's true that these people fought against the soldiers with knives, but Captain Gongsun...
"Everyone present today will be promoted one level. Big brother, please pick someone you trust to be the captain." Fang Zhiyi clapped his hands.
Tang Zhilin recovered from his shock and said, "Is this okay?"
He also hated Gongsun Hu a little, but Fang Zhiyi killed a Qian Hu in front of so many eyes. How could this seem like a small matter?
But after hearing Fang Zhiyi's words, the soldiers' eyes lit up. Who would want to be a private for life?
Fang Zhiyi also looked at them: "From today on, you are the commander's confidants. You know what to do."
"I am willing to serve the Commander-in-Chief at his beck and call, even if it means death!"
"I will go through fire and water for you, even if it means death!"
"Me too!"
Fang Zhiyi pointed at the last one and said, "Come on, say it again."
"Sir, I have never been to school..."
Fang Zhiyi turned around and left for a while. When he came back, he was holding a bag of silver. He had searched Zhu Qingqing's room and handed the silver to Tang Zhilin immediately: "Brother, do you know?"
Tang Zhilin finally recovered from what had just happened. He looked at the silver in his hand and said, "Everyone gets a share! Come and take it!"
The soldiers' eyes were full of excitement. They were getting promoted and making money. Who wouldn't be happy?
At this time, they had already forgotten the dead Gongsun Qianhu.
Fang Zhiyi also watched all this with satisfaction. After today, these people will be Tang Zhilin's diehard fans. If anyone wants to expose what happened today, others will tear him to pieces without hesitation.
"Anyone who stands in my way of wealth and glory must die." Fang Zhiyi cursed. His voice was not loud, but Tang Zhilin, who was very good at martial arts, could hear it clearly. He looked at Fang Zhiyi with shock in his eyes.
Is Fang Zhiyi going too far?
Everything happened just as Fang Zhiyi had expected. After the action was reported, the governor was very satisfied. As for the death of a thousand households, he didn't care at all. He just wanted to have as many people as needed. He was anxious to report the success to the emperor.
At Wanli Pawnshop, Zhu Wanli was meeting with the cadres with a gloomy face.
