Starting as pearl divers, they have endless jobs.

Chapter 67 He came from a humble background as a grain transport laborer.

"Your Excellency, I am willing to lead troops to tear these beasts to pieces!" Wang Xing volunteered.

"No need."

Chen Ye's voice was as cold as ice.

He slowly stood up, took off his civil official robe, revealing a dark-colored close-fitting outfit underneath.

"I'll handle this myself."

He walked out of the main hall and mounted his horse.

"Wang Xing, gather fifty personal guards and come with me out of the city."

"My lord, this...this is too dangerous!" Wang Xing exclaimed in alarm.

“I said, let’s leave the city.”

Chen Ye didn't say another word. He spurred his horse, and his warhorse shot out of the governor's mansion like a black lightning bolt.

The setting sun is like blood.

Chen Ye led fifty riders at breakneck speed along the official road.

Based on the intelligence gathered by the scouts, combined with Chen Ye's keen senses, they quickly located the bandits' hideout.

At this moment, the bandits are holding a banquet to celebrate their victory.

"Young Master Du, rest assured, our brothers are very clean and will not leave any trace," the bandit leader said drunkenly.

The man called Young Master Du was a young man with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

After all, he was a descendant of a noble family of the Great Liang Dynasty, a true aristocratic scion, how could he possibly look down on these bandits and outlaws?

Unfortunately, the situation was beyond his control. The Du family had already been raided, so he could only swallow his grievances, lower himself, and mingle with these bandits.

"That's good. I was just worried that Chen would find out." Du Yong's face was full of hatred when he mentioned the name Chen.

After all, the raid on his Du family and even the tragic death of his father were all ordered by Chen Ye, so he was naturally filled with hatred.

"Heh heh, that Chen fellow was just a grain transport laborer who was forcibly promoted to the position of military governor. What right does he have to swagger around here? Young Master Du, you don't need to worry too much. Sooner or later, I will take his head off." The bandit leader said with a face full of disdain.

Du Yong forced a smile, but he still found it hard to swallow the wine in front of him.

The banquet continued, and some of the bandits, getting carried away with their drinking, began to boast about how incredibly brave they were.

"You wouldn't believe it, the girls in that little village were actually quite pretty. I managed to get my hands on three..."

Just then, a startled cry came from outside, "Who's there?"

What followed was chaos, accompanied by screams and the sound of horses' hooves.

The bandits panicked, and Du Yong suddenly stood up, shouting, "What's going on? Didn't you say this place was very well hidden and we wouldn't be found?"

The bandit leader instantly sobered up, staring wide-eyed and stammering, "I...I don't know!"

Just then, the sounds of fighting outside suddenly stopped and became very quiet. Du Yong knew something was wrong, so he turned around and ran towards the back mountain.

Just then, an arrow flew through the window and killed a bandit. Immediately afterward, there was a muffled thud, and the ground trembled three times. Then, Chen Ye smashed through the wall and rushed into the hall.

The bandits then realized what was happening, and some of them drew their swords to slash. Chen Ye didn't even look at them, and instead threw a punch.

Bang!
With a muffled thud like a balloon bursting, the bandit's chest exploded, and his body flew backward like a tattered sack, smashing into the mountain wall and leaving a deep dent before turning into a pile of mud. The sight of this brutal scene sent chills down the spines of the bandits; some could no longer hold on and turned to run.

Chen Ye was not about to let these people go. He was like a tiger among sheep, his fists flying, and with each punch, a bandit was smashed into mincemeat.

This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

Wang Xing and the others who followed were dumbfounded.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the ground was covered with corpses.

The bandit leader was terrified and turned to flee into the depths of the forest.

Chen Ye leaped behind him, ignoring his pleas for mercy, and punched his upper body into a bloody mist.

Without stopping, Chen Ye continued running towards the back of the mountain.

He clearly saw someone run into the forest, so he gave chase.

Moreover, his pursuit method was unique; he completely ignored the trees along the way and charged straight ahead.

Wherever he went, trees were snapped in two by his incredibly strong body, and he charged into the depths of the forest like a bulldozer.

At the same time, Du Yong was terrified when he heard the noise behind him. He never expected that Chen Ye would come so quickly and so fiercely.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have stayed to drink; he would have run away long ago.

But it was too late for regrets now. He could only try to increase his speed as much as possible, quickly traversing through the forest, hoping to shake off the pursuers behind him.

But just moments later, the commotion behind them grew louder and louder.

Du Yong couldn't help but glance back, and then he saw a scene that terrified him.

Chen Ye stood on a large rock not far away, grinned at him, then squatted down and leaped high into the air. The force was so great that it even shifted the position of the boulder.

"No..." Du Yong screamed hysterically, trying to dodge, but Chen Ye was as fast as a cannonball, rushing to his side in an instant and throwing a punch.

Du Yong had studied under a famous master since childhood and now possessed the strength of a second-rate martial arts expert. Therefore, at this critical moment of life and death, he desperately raised his arms to try to block the punch.

But the next moment he regretted it, because what he was facing was not a fist, but a herd of charging elephants.

He didn't even last a second before his arms were shattered, and then the powerful impact broke his waist in two. His lower legs remained in place, while his upper body was blasted away and exploded into a cloud of bloody mist in mid-air.

Chen Ye remained expressionless, slowly withdrew his fist, and turned to leave.

Wang Xing never laid a hand on these fifty cavalrymen; the entire band of bandits was killed by Chen Ye alone.

However, Wang Xing and the others were not shocked by this, because they had become numb to it.

Chen Ye then screened the prisoners captured by the bandits. After some education, the displaced people who had been coerced were incorporated into the farming team, given land and seeds, and given a way to survive.

As for those whose hands were stained with blood, Chen Ye ordered them to be beheaded on the spot.

On that day, at the entrance of the Luoyang vegetable market, thirty-six human heads were hung high.

When the news spread, the entire martial arts world of Daliang fell silent. Especially after hearing that these bandits had been wiped out by Chen Ye alone, those forces that had been restless instantly became much more docile.

They finally understood that this newly arrived military governor of Daliang not only had a compassionate heart but also ruthless methods.
