"Yangzhou changes hands, and all things are new. It is necessary to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to communicate with the gods. And to offer sacrifices, there should be three animals and five animals."
The young man's fingers pointed at the eight people on the couch one by one.
"Sanyuan Liang, Xi'an Shen, Tongguan Zhang, hahaha, the three animals are there; Huang, Mao, Cao, Zhang, Ji, hahaha, the five animals are also there."
His face turned cold.
"Everyone, please come to the altar."
Among the eight people, the leader staggered up, pointed at the young man and yelled curses.
"You little thief speaks arrogant words. I don't know the heights of the world. I won't strip you to pieces..."
boom……
A puff of white smoke rose from the young man's back, and a bloody flower appeared on the man's forehead.
The blood splattered all over the surrounding people, and they were immediately paralyzed with fear.
"Li Chengqian was beaten to death."
"Killed!"
The person who was beaten to death was Li Chengqian, the leader of Qin and Jin merchants.
The Li family migrated from Datong, Shanxi. Their ancestor Li Chengshi once served as the governor of Fujian Province. Relying on the power in his hands, the family gradually became bigger and stronger. Through Li Chengshi, Li Zhi and his son, it was passed to Li Chengqian.
Rich as a country.
Li Chengqian relied on the power and wealth in his hands to run rampant in Yangzhou and did whatever he wanted. He never thought that someone would attack him and beat him to death.
When they saw the strongest Li Chengqian saying that he was going to be beaten to death, the other seven people were all frightened and finally knew that they no longer had the final say in this world.
Their fate is no different from that of pigs and dogs in the hands of Shandong.
At that time, soon after that, there was a guy wearing a Taoist robe, but with his belt open and his breasts exposed, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Shangguan, please spare your life, Shangguan, please spare your life. I, the Ji family, are willing to surrender and serve you. We are willing to work as cattle and horses."
Seeing this man's embarrassed appearance and the rouge and gouache marks on his face and neck, the young man's eyes flashed with disgust.
"Are you Ji Yuyong?"
The man was trembling and did not dare to neglect.
"That's the villain."
This person once served as a court official, but now his life is hanging by a thread, and he must be as humble as possible.
However, his begging for mercy did not win the young man's tolerance.
"Ji Yuyong, don't you think your surrender is too late? I'm not afraid to tell you that at this moment, your Ji family's house in Taixing should have been breached. Your Ji family...is finished."
When Ji Yuyong heard this, he completely lost all his strength and became as limp as mud. He didn't know what he was thinking.
The young man waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and captured the seven people who were still alive.
As the seven people were dragged away, the young man's words were loud and clear.
"Yangzhou belongs to my Shandong province, so you must obey the rules of my Shandong province. Anyone who dares to break the rules will die without a burial place."
Chaoguan Wharf, Wangyue Tower.
There are many people outside the building, densely packed, and the protection is very tight.
The lights inside the building are bright and the atmosphere is solemn.
On a high platform in the middle stood a fat man in his fifties.
This man was wearing a purple-red silk robe. He looked like a wealthy man, but his face was filled with fierceness.
The audience was full of people, all of them were arrogant and domineering, wearing swords, as if they would kill people if they disagreed.
The old fat man on the stage held three pillars of thick incense, bowed three times to the east, west, south and north respectively, and then placed the incense in the jar in front of the tablet.
When he turned around again, the sound was like thunder.
"What are the rules? Our Caobang is the rule. Without our Caobang, a ship would not be able to pass through the canal; without our Caobang, not a grain of rice or a grain of salt would be transported into Yangzhou. Some people don't know our Caobang
Awesome, what should I do?"
The people below raised their fists in response.
"kill!"
The old fat man was very satisfied.
"Go back and tell all the brothers that no one is allowed to leave the ship without the command of the chief helm. Yangzhou has become a dead city. On the day of death, some people will kneel down and beg for mercy."
Before he finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in front of the door. Smoke and dust rolled everywhere, and broken bricks, gravel, and wood swept around with a devilish roaring sound.
Everyone who was rubbed or touched was killed or injured.
The old fat man on the high platform was so frightened by this turn of events that he turned pale and quickly got up and ran away.
In just a short time, explosions occurred one after another in Wangyue Tower. The magnificent high-rise building was immediately crumbling, and fires broke out everywhere.
The shouts of killing outside the building resounded throughout the sky.
The members of the Caogang gang who were originally arrogant and domineering, and killed without blood, looked at the New Army soldiers rushing out from all directions. Before they even raised their swords and guns, they were swept away by a hail of bullets.
The deaths one after another finally made these Jianghu gangs understand what the horror of the army is.
In front of the new army, the resistance of these desperadoes is no different than a blank slate.
After half a stick of incense, the new army rushed into Wangyue Tower.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot, and those who do not resist will be detained on the spot.
Wherever he went, everyone was restrained, and there was no longer the majesty of the past.
An officer walked into the building and seemed to be waiting for something.
He didn't wait too long when he saw some members of the Cao Gang running out from behind, working together to carry a fat man who was as fat as a pig.
The fat man's hand tendons and hamstrings had been severed, and he was unable to resist at all. When he was thrown in front of the officer, he stirred up dust on the ground.
This man was so angry that he held his head high and yelled at the person behind him.
"Wang Wenzhao, you are a traitor who deserves to be cut to pieces. I am not kind to you, but you are picking on me inside and outside. I am afraid that you will not die well in the future."
The old man's face turned red after being scolded by him, and he panicked. He hurriedly raised his fists and saluted the officer.
"Captain Chi, according to your instructions, I have captured Chen Wanting. From now on, the Cao Gang will be wiped out and will no longer dare to resist the heavenly soldiers."
Commander Chi smiled slightly and said with approval: "Mr. Wang, he abandons the darkness and turns to the light. He who understands the current affairs is a hero. From now on, we will need your help in matters on the canal."
Wang Wenzhao was overjoyed and his posture became even lower.
"You are so stupid and incompetent. You did a lot of stupid things back then. From now on, you will definitely change your mind and be a good person."
Commander Chi pointed at Chen Wanting, the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang, who was like mud, and ordered: "Drag him down and put him on a public trial on another day."
Some soldiers came forward and dragged Chen Wanting down.
This big man who once stamped his feet and made the whole city of Yangzhou tremble is now worse than a pig.
At this time, Taizhou was more than a hundred miles away.
No one knows about Jia Shuyuan in Xianhe Bay.
As the residence of the Ji family, the richest man in Taizhou, it is magnificent, exquisite and luxurious, and it is impossible to look at it.
Normally, people don't dare to get close and take detours one after another.
But today, under the roar of cannons, the houses with carved beams and painted beams collapsed one after another, and the doors made of bronze and gold were shattered and flew away.
Accompanied by horrified shouts that rose to the sky in the courtyard, the new army broke through the door and entered.
The changes that happened here were witnessed by all the people of Taizhou.
