moment, his broadsword falling with a thunderous clang.Blood spurted from the bandit's neck, a large head rolling with a gurgling sound to the side.Just moments ago, the bandit had been tough and defi...Zhang Wu thought the arriving troops were reinforcements, and he was instantly excited.

But when he saw, those steeds of great height and stature, all with unfamiliar faces, and at their head stood Zhong Tao! He was instantly dumbfounded.

"Master! We've arrived!"

Zhong Tao's voice was laced with killing intent.

Immediately, the sound of heavy footsteps gradually approached. A sea of people, black and dense, surrounded them completely!

A row of long spears, bows and arrows gleaming coldly, exuding murderous aura!

A squad of five hundred people, all arrived!

Zhang Wu's entire being froze, staring at the suddenly appearing squad. His legs went limp, and with a thud, he fell to his knees before Yang Lin.

"I was wrong… please forgive me, please let me go! Magistrate Wu wants to harm you, I’ll tell you everything I know!"

Zhang Wu trembled, about to embrace Yang Lin's thigh.

Yang Lin kicked him away with one foot.

"Well, well, that's not necessary! Wang Yiwai has already told me what you know!"

Zhang Wu's heart sank immediately.

He, did he know all of it

That means you've even lost your own value

Zhang Wu felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Those yamen servants who had just been swaggering over with Zhang Wu, shouting and threatening a fight, all wilted. Their legs turned to jelly, some even wetting themselves. A pungent smell of urine filled the air.

Where is Zhang Ping

Yang Lin stared coldly at Zhang Wu and asked.

Zhang Ping was originally an impartial clerk in the Criminal Bureau. Last time he came to the county town to raid a house, he followed Yang Lin, and Yang Lin also helped him promoted to chief of the Criminal Bureau.

If Magistrate Wu wanted to break free from control, he had to regain control over the power of the three groups of yamen servants.

And in this, Zhang Ping is the key!

Yang Lin wants Zhang Ping to be on his side, but looking at the current situation, Zhang Ping is probably already…

“He was captured by Wu, the magistrate, and thrown in jail!” Zhang Wu quickly said.

Zhang Wu poured out everything he knew.

He now depends on these intel to bargain for his life.

Yang Lin was astonished, but even more furious upon hearing this.

Turns out, this guy is actually a tough nut to crack!

Wu the county magistrate did indeed want to regain control over him, but Zhang Ping refused. He was thrown into prison and subjected to torture, yet Zhang Ping still held firm, showing no sign of compromise!

Yang Lin let out a long sigh: “Main force, listen up! Set off for the county jail!”

"Let's go!"

Zhong Tao also waved his hand grandly.

Just when Zhang Wu and the others thought they were safe…

"Take them all with you!"

Yang Lin pointed at them.

Zhang Wu was dumbfounded at that moment.

They, along with the two guards of Wang Yuanwai, were all captured and escorted in a large group to the prison.

Facing Yang Lin's order, Zhong Tao had no hesitation, but when the main force was really heading towards the county jail, Zhong Tao couldn't help but whisper to Yang Lin: "Master, if you really rob the county jail, then it will truly be rebellion!"

Zhong Tao doesn't care about whether or not there will be a rebellion. He's only afraid that Yang Lin might act impulsively.

Although there had been quite a stir before this, it was all minor stuff that could be quelled.

But to rob a prison, it's a completely different matter!

"Don't worry, I have it under control." Yang Lin said calmly.

Zhong Tao's ability to raise this point made Yang Lin very pleased. To be able to think things through and consider the overall situation are all commendable qualities.

He also didn't want his subordinates to be nothing more than reckless warriors.

"My husband..."

Wu Meizi huddled in Yang Lin's arms, but she was a little afraid.

Today, on the brink of death, Yang Lin appeared before him like a god descending to earth. He then killed several people and, with this vast army of hundreds, is now going to the county jail...

The string of events left her still reeling, her hands subconsciously clutching onto Yang Lin.

"Scared" Yang Lin stroked her back.

"Hmm..."

Wu Meizi pulled herself in a little tighter.

Tell me about what's been happening lately.

Seeing her nervousness, Yang Lin decided to let her relax first.

However, upon hearing what Wu Mei had to say, Yang Lin was enraged!

It turned out that after he left, especially the two days Zhao Fugui and Zhong Tao left the county government office, rumors spread throughout the county town that "Yang Lin had run away."

Many shop owners, as if they had made an agreement, deliberately make things difficult for these stores. As a result, business is extremely tough. Even the store manager treats her with feigned obedience but lacks effort. Especially in the last two days, several shop managers have even stopped showing up, leaving only him and a newly hired clerk to barely keep things running, while business remains abysmal....

"These guys!"

Yang Lin's eyes grew colder and colder.

"This is my fault. I underestimated them before!" Yang Lin said coldly.

A millipede, though dead, does not stiffen!

The interest group in the county town, controlled by various big families, has formed a chain of interests.

He thought that if he controlled the military force of the county town, the magistrate, and domestic affairs, he could control the entire county town.

After all, he still thought too simply!

Whether it's the county magistrate or the already eradicated Zhou and Zhao families, they are merely cogs in this chain of interests.

I only addressed a few key points, but the chain of interests remains.

If one's existence affects other people's interests, then when one is gone, someone will naturally cause trouble for them.

And...

I want to get rid of myself completely!

For example, County Magistrate Wu gathered bandits to try and destroy himself and his reliance village. Is this truly just the desire of County Magistrate Wu alone

No! In the eyes of these vested interests, I'm already a target, an existence to be eliminated!

It is their consensus to destroy themselves. Otherwise, how could they have attacked their own businesses these past few days

"Tao Ge, you tell people to go to each store and call Madam Three, Madam Four, and Madam Six!"

"Yes."

Zhong Tao made the arrangements.

"Wumei, you go to the carriage first. Erjie and Qiaoyun are already there," Yang Lin said.

"Hmm..."

Wu Meimei obediently got into the carriage.

Yang Lin's eyes glinted coldly as he stared in the direction of the county government office, muttering to himself: "It seems like I didn't hit hard enough! This time, I'll have to beat you until you know what pain is!"

At this time, inside the county jail.

Zhang Ping was hung on the torture device, his body covered in streaks of crimson marks, bruised and battered.

"Bang!"

A whip crackled through the air.

On that body already covered in scars, a fresh crimson mark appeared instantly.

The officer, brandishing his whip, looked down on Zhang Ping with disdain and snarled, "Zhang Ping, who do you think you are Have no shame! The lord has given you a chance, you should be grateful to him, but instead, you're being arrogant. What kind of brainwashing has Yang Lin put you through You dare to defy the lord"

"The old master told me to give you a good lesson, to let you know who's the real ruler of Jianghe County!"hange. If you find the price unsuitable, feel free to leave. A deal unmade is better than an unfair one. This Duke won't force anyone to buy or sell, but if anyone thinks this Duke is a fool... hehe!...
