I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 56 Theft, Arson, Murder! [5 chapters tomorrow, please read on! Aiming for the next chapter!]

The waters of Zuojing flooded Leijiabao.

Not content with just drowning, he also ordered his assassins to find a place with a wide view so he could possess them and watch.

The reservoir upstream of the Bazhang River was originally built by the domineering Lei family, who insisted on their own way, just to ensure their own fields would be safe from drought and flood. Now it has become a disaster that will lead to their demise.

When the great river bursts its banks, one hears only the murmuring sound that echoes through the valley, and sees its surging force reaching the sky. Its majestic roar is like thunder, its surging waves like snowflakes rolling and tumbling. Thousands of feet high, the waves sweep across the road, ten thousand layers of billows crash against the mountain rocks. Cold as jade being rinsed, rolling like the sound of strings being played. It crashes against the rocks, spraying shattered jade, its eddies forming round, swirling pools. Low and low, it flows with the current, filling the valleys and streams, connecting the upper and lower reaches.

The waters flooded the fields and swept away the farmland.

They headed straight for Lei Family Fort to pour water in.

The art of water attack is twofold: water is one element and attack is the other. At this time, if the two armies are facing each other, Zuo Jing should send his navy to launch a fierce attack on the Lei family fortress besieged by the flood. He should also shoot arrows from the large ships at the high places in Lei family fortress where people are taking refuge from the water. In this way, many men, women and children of Lei family fortress will be killed, injured, or captured.

However, Zuo Jing's flooding of Lei Family Fort was not intended to kill or injure anyone; it was purely to destroy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Lei Family Fort and flood countless grain reserves within the fort.

This is essentially destroying the foundation of assets.

Rather than killing people.

"I would never stoop to killing the elderly, children, and women indiscriminately."

"But forget about living a life of luxury in the future!"

"As for the male members, if they are unwilling to leave the Lei family, then they are my enemies and should be killed without hesitation!"

Sakyo is cruel and ruthless.

He is possessed and fights on multiple fronts.

They just dug up the Lei family's ancestral graves and submerged Lei Family Fortress.

the other side.

Shangyang City, a hundred miles away.

Zuo Jing mobilized 700 elite soldiers, and through a mole within the soldiers, precisely dug a tunnel through the kerosene warehouse in the Shangyang City armory, and secretly moved the oil.

Most of the kerosene was hidden away.

A small portion of the kerosene was carried by a group of assassins who went to all the Lei family shops and warehouses that had been scouted beforehand. They dug tunnels, climbed up, and poured the kerosene everywhere.

Zuo Jing possessed him and took charge of the unified deployment.

The assassins were instructed not to light the fire immediately, but to wait for him to smash the cup as a signal.

The Lei family owned only a few dozen shops and warehouses of varying sizes in Shangyang City.

One hundred elite warriors.

More than enough.

Subsequently.

Another 330 assassins were dispatched to target key members of the Lei family, such as shopkeepers, direct relatives, and loyal servants.

Wait for these.

They basically found out everything through numerous assassins and various gangs over the past two months.

track.

Investigate.

For the past two months, we have been confirming the details of each household, including where they live, how many people are in their family, who their neighbors are, how far they live from Bingmasi, and so on.

Information on 66 key personnel was collected over two full months.

Hidden and not revealed.

until now.

"Do it!"

The 330 suicide soldiers were divided into 66 groups of five and entered each household by digging tunnels.

Light the lamps.

Why turn on the light?

Why?

Of course, it's to avoid accidentally killing family members!

"Lei Changhe, your day has come!"

Five assassins, each wielding a shovel, simultaneously stabbed Lei Changhe, leaving seven or eight gashes on his body. One of the shovels struck his throat, killing him instantly!
"what!"

The screams of the family members pierced the sky and tore through the night.

There are 65 other places in the entire Shangyang City that emit such screams.

……

"What a disaster!"

"What a disaster!"

The four great constables of the Criminal Investigation Department were all fast asleep at home when they were suddenly awakened by a noise.

Fu Yijian got up and walked out: "What happened?"

"Look!" the man exclaimed, pointing to the sky. "Nearly a hundred fires have broken out in the city, suspected to be arson. Dozens of households have also reported being robbed and their heads murdered!"

Damn!

Such a big deal?

Fu Yijian was instantly wide awake, staring in disbelief at the firelight everywhere.

Who was this damned bastard who did this?

He hurriedly asked, "Which places were the fires? Who reported them?"

The man shook his head: "Your Excellency, I arrived late and didn't have time to inquire."

At this time.

"Brother Fu!"

"What a disaster!"

Shen Tingwen, another of the Four Great Constables, strode over and said urgently, "Dozens of shops and warehouses belonging to the Lei family have all caught fire. It must have been arson! Furthermore, dozens of shopkeepers and managers have been assassinated in their homes. It is said that the killers were a group of five, armed with shovels, who crawled out of the tunnels, lit lamps to verify their identities, and then shoveled them on the head. They were extremely ruthless!"

More than ruthless!

It’s so heartbreaking!
"Arson!"

"kill!"

"These are all capital offenses."

However, this group has committed over a hundred crimes. Such a major case is likely to not only cause a sensation in Jiujiang Province, but may even reach the ears of the emperor, who may even send an imperial envoy to investigate.

Fu Yijian and Shen Tingwen exchanged a glance, both of them shocked.

Fu Yijian looked at the flames that filled the sky, one of which seemed to be not far from him. He let out a long sigh: "I thought those people's methods were already extremely cruel, but I didn't expect them to have this trick up their sleeve!"

Shen Tingwen sneered: "Just like a cat catching a mouse, after playing with it, it's time to really feast."

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit."

"First defeat their spirit, then kill them."

Fu Yijian certainly understood.

The two are talking.

at this time.

The third famous constable, Zhao Xiong Zhao, strode over, his face beaming with joy upon seeing the two: "The Lei family is completely finished! Haha!"

"Brother Zhao!"

"Be careful what you say."

Fu Yijian was both amused and exasperated.

This is indeed something to be happy about, but on the surface they are still the heads of the Criminal Investigation Department, and their purpose in coming to Shangyang City is to find the murderer for the Lei family.

Laughing like that.

Not suitable.

“What’s inappropriate?” Zhao Xiong Zhao grinned. “There are no six ears here, I’m just laughing and telling my two brothers.”

Shen Tingwen didn't want to talk about this. He said in a deep voice, "It's time to investigate the case!"

Zhao Xiong Zhao nodded: "Absolutely! Such a big commotion is bound to leave many traces, we have to help deal with it! What a good person! The Lei family is such a big family, how many years have we tried to take them down but failed? It's because of their unorthodox methods that they were able to take them down and beat them to death in no time!"

He couldn't stop smiling.

So they have a grudge against the Lei family?
Fu Yijian understood Zhao Xiongzhao's feelings, but still had to remind him: "These people have gone too far. This time the commotion is too big. Go to investigate tonight, mainly to alert them. Once you find their trail, pretend to pursue them and remind them to leave early."

Shen Tingwen added, "Providing assistance within our capabilities is acceptable, but we must never get too involved. The Lei family is ruthless and acts without restraint. But being too rigid can lead to failure; if we get too close, we risk getting burned."

Zhao Xiong Zhao nodded repeatedly: "I understand! I understand everything!"

……

"Firefighting!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Zuo Jing mobilized his elite soldiers and rallied the residents around the fire's source, having them carry buckets and basins to fight the fire together.

Let the Lei family's shops and warehouses burn down.

But you can't harm others.

The other shops and other people are innocent.

Therefore, Zuo Jing had already arranged for assassins in various places, just to quickly organize firefighting after a fire broke out.

The kerosene was burning fiercely.

The burning shop is definitely beyond saving, but if it is extinguished in time, the surrounding neighboring shops can still be saved, and the uncontrolled spread of the fire can also be prevented.

This rescue lasted all night!
