From the fake emperor to the concubine

The people in the nearby houses who saw this scene were all shocked.

"Did I hear correctly? They even killed their own people?"

"You really don't even forgive your own people for making mistakes. Is this true?"

Outside the house, the expressionless military policeman said coldly: "Liu Jishan, you look very unconvinced?"

Liu Jishan, who was kneeling on the ground under the pressure of two people, said disdainfully: "It's just playing with a woman, what's the big deal? When I was fighting desperately, I didn't see you guys. Now you come out to show off your strength?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jishan was slapped in the face by the military police.

These military police of the Qingshan Army were carefully selected by Tang Jianjun, and many of them were trained by him personally.

Many of the dragon-slaying techniques learned from Zheng Yi were used here.

I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes.

"Liu Jishan! How dare you say such words? The military advisor has said many times that we in the Qingshan Army are all civilians, and we are also the army of the civilians."

"Why did we rise up against the imperial court? It's not so that we can ride on the people's heads and shit and piss like the dog imperial court does, but so that the millions of poor people in this world will no longer be bullied by the dog imperial court!"

"You, Liu Jishan, also come from a poor family and were bullied by those mine owners and landlords. Now you have only won a battle, and you, Liu Jishan, have become the same as those people in the dog court?"

"We acknowledge your bravery, but our Qingshan Army does not need a beast like you who bullies the people."

Liu Jishan was speechless by the military police. Even though he was subdued, this guy still held his head high, looking as if he had done nothing wrong and had made great contributions.

I was very disdainful of the military policeman who had no credit at all.

Now, her face turned red with shame and she lowered her head, not daring to look at the other person.

"Now, do you have anything else to say?" the military police asked word by word.

Liu Jishan still kept his head down and said nothing, his eyes already filled with tears of regret. It was not until this moment that he finally realized how irreversible he had done.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret.

"Execute!" Although the military police seemed a little reluctant, his tone was extremely firm and there was no wavering at all.

The knife flashed, and Liu Jishan's head fell to the ground.

Such things happened frequently in Linjiang City.

After all, the Qingshan Army was established only a short time ago and was restricted by the environment of the Cang Yan Realm. Many people could not even write their own names.

In addition, the military expansion was too fast and He Chengpi was a person who didn't care about details.

A combination of various reasons led to the mixed quality of the Qingshan Army.

Even if Tang Jianjun only slept two hours a day and racked his brains to use all the methods he learned from Zheng Yi, it would be impossible for him to reorganize tens of thousands of people in such a short time.

And from a certain perspective, it is a miracle that Tang Jianjun can achieve what he has now.

If it weren't for his good cultivation, coupled with He Chengpi's own personal charm, which led to the overall chivalrous temperament of the Qingshan Army, it would be impossible to achieve this level.

Under the suppression of the military police, the Qingshan Army actually maintained military discipline.

Occasionally, there are those who make mistakes, but because they are dealt with in a timely manner, it has a deterrent effect and prevents greater harm from occurring.

By dusk, the Qingshan Army had basically taken control of Linjiang City.

"Military advisor, now that we have taken Linjiang City, what should we do next? We brothers are all rough men and don't know the first thing about how to govern a city." He Chengpi spread his hands, ready to be a hands-off boss.

Tang Jianjun sighed helplessly. When He Chengpi was about to attack Linjiang City, he knew this would be the result.

He never thought about long-term strategies, the only thing on his mind was how to avenge his brother.

Although Tang Jianjun talked about these problems at the time and proposed some solutions.

He Chengpi agreed readily at the time, just to get him to agree to attack the city.

Now, all these troubles were pushed onto him.

Complaining as he was, Tang Jianjun did not fail to do what he was supposed to do: "Marshal, when we sent people into the city before, I also asked them to inquire about the situation in the city."

"Although the city lord and General Chang ran away, many officials did not have time to escape for various reasons. Some of them have a good reputation. We can recruit them and continue to govern Linjiang City."

"These people are familiar with the situation in Linjiang City and have experience as officials. They are much better than those recruited temporarily."

"I have also invited some famous people in the city. After that..."

It took Tang Jianjun nearly half an hour to arrange all these things clearly.

Although He Chengpi yawned constantly, he still applauded frequently: "The military advisor really didn't disappoint me. Let's do these things according to the military advisor's arrangements."

"I'm very curious. How come I've never heard of such a talented military advisor before?"

"Thank you for the compliment, Marshal. I just..." Realizing that he had said something wrong, Tang Jianjun calmly changed the subject and said, "I just thought a little more than others."

"Marshal, please take a rest first. I will go and arrange the rest of the things."

After Tang Jianjun left, He Chengpi, who was originally drowsy, had eyes that were frighteningly bright: "Who on earth could have trained such a powerful strategist? What did he want to do by putting such a person next to me, He Chengpi?"

Tang Jianjun looked back as he left, and smiled bitterly to himself, "How can I be considered a genius? I just memorized everything my teacher taught me, and then used it one by one."

The next morning, all the wealthy families in Linjiang City were surrounded by the Qingshan Army.

After that, they searched every house.

However, this time was different from the past. Although the Qingshan Army confiscated their property, they did not harm their lives, and did not even do anything out of line to the female members of their families.

Although most of their assets were confiscated, they were still left with enough to live on.

Although the property left to them would not allow them to continue living that extravagant life, it would be enough to support the family for decades with some savings.

Those who are smart know that the Qingshan Army is not to be trifled with, so they can only grit their teeth and cooperate obediently.

Naturally, there are also people who cannot see the situation clearly.

Among them, of course, there was Mr. Shen, who thought he could strategize when the Qingshan Army attacked the city, but ended up with nothing.

"Stop it, all of you robbers! Our Shen family's wealth has been passed down from generation to generation, and we will never give it to you robbers."

As this guy spoke, he hit the Qingshan Army soldiers with his crutch.

Several Qingshan Army soldiers were beaten by this old man because they didn't dare to hurt the people. In order to stop the Qingshan Army, Mr. Shen simply lay down in front of the gate and said, "You thieves, if you want to rob my family's property, just step over me, an old man."

Although they hated people like him from the bottom of their hearts, he was an old man after all, and no Qingshan Army soldier dared to attack him easily.

He Chengpi, who was bored because he didn't want to deal with government affairs, immediately became energetic when he heard the news.

"You dare to act arrogantly in front of me. It's interesting. It's really interesting."

After finishing his breakfast in a few bites, he went straight to the Shen family mansion.

When He Chengpi arrived, he heard Mr. Shen crying and shouting, "This is unjust! Everyone, come and see, these hateful bandits have revealed their true colors and are starting to bully us innocent people!"

Although he was quite old, he was full of vigor and vitality. For a moment, he attracted quite a few people to watch.

The reason why so many people came was because of what Qingshan Army did yesterday.

After all, no matter what their identities are, at least these people will not harm the people, so there is no need to hide at home and not go out.

"This old guy is really a money-grubber. People have surrounded his house, but he still dares to act like a spoiled brat."

"I think these soldiers are really stupid. They actually let him succeed."

"I don't think so. Those soldiers just thought this old man was an ordinary citizen, so they didn't do anything. These people can even break into the county town, so why are they afraid of an old man like him?"

The onlookers were talking at once, saying all sorts of things.

But no one took the initiative to stand up and expose Mr. Shen.

After all, they are ordinary people. They don't know much about the Qingshan Army and don't dare to stand on their side easily.

If Mr. Shen holds a grudge against them, they will be the ones in trouble when these Qingshan soldiers leave.

Just as Mr. Shen was throwing a tantrum, someone suddenly said hurriedly, "Meet the Marshal."

Hearing this voice, the other soldiers of the Qingshan Army turned around and immediately spotted He Chengpi walking slowly towards them, and they all saluted him.

"I've met the handsome man!"

It was not until this time that the onlookers actually saw the rebel leader.

I have to say that He Chengpi's appearance is still very intimidating.

Some of the onlookers, just by seeing the scar on his face, lowered their heads and hurried away.

Those who still had the courage to continue watching, after just one look, dared not look at He Chengpi again.

It was as if looking at it one more moment might bring disaster upon oneself.

The captain of the Qingshan Army who was in charge of the team saluted and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, this..." He hesitated for a moment and said, "This civilian has stopped us from carrying out our military duties."

"I have reported this to the military advisor and am awaiting his orders."

He Chengpi frowned slightly. He didn't like this rigid style of doing things.

But he also knew that the current Qingshan Army really needed to do things in such a methodical manner.

After all, the Qingshan Army, from top to bottom, is almost entirely made up of farmers, miners, carpenters, fishermen, and other peddlers.

Although they have received a certain amount of training, they are still ordinary people in essence, and few of them have the experience and ability to work independently.

If we let them do whatever they want at this time, there's really no telling what kind of trouble they might cause.

Looking at the mansion behind Mr. Shen, He Chengpi sneered and said, "My fellow villagers, the reason why our Qingshan Army confiscated the property of those rich people is because most of them are rich but unkind people."

"How did they get their mansions, wives, concubines, servants, and thousands of acres of fertile land? Were they not robbed from ordinary people like us?"

"Our goal is to take away what they have robbed and give it back to the poor people."

"However, our Qingshan Army is not a bandit who robs people by trickery. We will not let a bad guy go, but we will never wrongly accuse a good person."

"If this old man is a good citizen, our Qingshan Army will leave immediately. If anyone dares to bully this old man again, our Qingshan Army will be the first to disagree."

When Mr. Shen heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Marshal, our Shen family is a kind-hearted people."

"Who doesn't know that my Shen family has been building bridges and paving roads in Linjiang City for so many years? You must be vigilant and not let an honest person like me suffer any loss."

He Chengpi didn't even look at him, his eyes swept over those ordinary people. Every time he looked at a place, the people's eyes immediately avoided it.

He Chengpi didn't care, instead he laughed and said, "All the elders and fellow villagers have heard it, this old man said they are a kind family."

"We, the Qingshan Army, are from outside, and we don't know whether this person is good or bad. I don't know if you know this guy's background."

"Is there anyone willing to stand up and talk it out with us? If you think this old man is a good person, our Qingshan Army soldiers will withdraw immediately. If anyone dares to embarrass this old man, he will be punished by military law first."

"But if this old man is not a good person." He Chengpi's eyes were cold and stern: "The swords of our Qingshan Army have seen blood before."

Mr. Shen trembled all over, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Dear fellow villagers, our Shen family has never done anything to let you down before."

"Please help our Shen family and say something good. We will definitely repay you in the future."

"Please do not listen to those unfounded rumors, lest they harm good people."

The words sound polite, but in fact they contain a hint of threat.

Not to mention He Chengpi, even ordinary people can get it permed.

This was clearly telling them that if they dared to go against the Shen family at this time, the Shen family would definitely retaliate with all their might after the Qingshan Army left.

He Chengpi seemed not to have heard the threat in Mr. Shen's words, and just stood there waiting for the people to report.

His army is here and he has made his position clear: he will not let any bad guy go.

Everything that can be done has been done. If under such circumstances, these people still do not have the courage to stand up and tell the truth.

He Chengpi felt that there was no need to save such people.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Seeing that no one dared to report him, Mr. Shen was secretly proud in his heart: "You are just a bunch of peasants. Even if you break through the county town, what's the problem? As long as the imperial army comes, you will run away obediently with your tails between your legs."

"By that time, who will dare to support those peasants?"

"A traitor is a traitor. You idiots can't understand such a simple thing." (End of this chapter)
