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

Chapter 85 I will climb to the top step by step and become the biggest king in Jiujiang!
"who!"

"Your grandpa!"

The ninth-level assassin, named Feng Wu, was fearless and charged over the wall. With a long spear in hand, he advanced, splitting up, entangling, sticking close, attacking, arching, shoving, tearing, and rushing forward. He only cared about advancing and did not need to defend. In one move, he killed nine people, including the leader, Li Han from the county government, as well as General Han, the governor's personal guard, General Zhu, the sentry officer of Wude Town, and Chen, the clerk of the prefectural government.

As fierce as a tiger!

invincible!

The level nine assassin arrived alone, his 'Lone Wolf' specialization triggered, granting him an extra 1 stat without needing to burn blood, raising his stat from five to six, making him comparable to a top-tier level six expert with exceptional internal organs.

Invincible.

It's readily available.

In the chaos, the clerks and soldiers were no match for the enemy; they were killed with a single thrust. However, the courtyard was quite large, and the soldiers were mixed in with the crowd, making them difficult to kill. If they were a little slow, the enemy would give them a signal—

call out!
A rocket!

You can see it from all directions.

Zuo Jing immediately shifted his focus from the assassin's servant to Feng Wu, muttering to himself—

"Don't be in love with war!"

"Evacuate quickly!"

Then, control of the body is returned to Feng Wu.

Upon receiving the order to cease the pursuit, Feng Wu tossed aside the spear, swiftly scaled the wall, and after a few steps, turned into a small alley, burrowed underground, and vanished without a trace.

After he left.

After a while.

Ding Ding Deng!
"Official business is being handled; all bystanders must stand back!"

A group of constables and a squad of soldiers arrived late, led by the garrison commander of Wude Town. After glancing at the corpses scattered around the Zhao residence and inquiring about the situation, he was immediately alarmed: "A master! This is a master!"

We dare not be negligent.

Report this immediately!
……

"kill!"

Zuo Jing had many informants in Xiayang City, and he dispatched six level-nine assassins to attack separately, eliminating six groups of imperial henchmen.

Based on their behavior—

For those who are honestly checking household registrations, just break their legs and intimidate them.

If anyone dares to harass women like those people at the Zhao residence, just rush in and kill them indiscriminately. Whether they die or are maimed is entirely up to fate.

"Beat them until everyone below is terrified!"

"We've fought until there's no one left to use at the top."

"Want to check my household registration?"

"Whimsical!"

Zuo Jing at level nine is a completely different person. The high-end combat power he originally lacked most was completely resolved after the emergence of 55 level nine assassins.

Of the 55 new assassins, 26 were deployed to the six blessed lands, 5 served as Zuo Jing's personal bodyguards, and the remaining 24 level-nine assassins were used as mobile forces. Two were deployed to each of the nine prefectural cities, while only six were deployed to various locations inside and outside Xiayang City.

They were closer, and Zuo Jing felt more at ease.

result.

This actually came in handy.

Zuo Jing was puzzled: "The Underground Society is clearly causing the most trouble in Shangyang Prefecture, so why is the Governor's Office conducting the population census first in Xiayang Prefecture?"

It couldn't be that they knew he, the mastermind, was hiding here, could it?
That's incredible!

Zuo Jing disagreed, and he was more inclined to believe that "Shangyang Prefecture is the most active area of ​​the underground society, and it is the toughest nut to crack, so it was left until the end."

They simply selected Xiayang Prefecture as the first pilot site after a selection process.

There's no need to be easily frightened.

"I want peace and quiet."

"I can't find peace!"

Zuo Jing sighed.

It is now September 15th. Since the 26th of last month, the level 9 Jade Remnant can refresh 55 Death Warriors every day. In just 20 days, it has refreshed as many as 1100 Death Warriors.

The number of suicide bombers was unprecedented.

There is an unprecedented abundance of manpower.

Sakyo was deployed in all directions—

Five people were deployed to each of the five newly acquired blessed lands, and one level-nine assassin was deployed to the Yellow Sand Blessed Land, for a total of 266 people.

The remaining 834 assassins were scattered by Zuo Jing's "Rain of Flowers" across the other eight prefectures of Jiujiang, with each prefecture receiving 100 assassins.

"My control over Jiujiang is constantly being strengthened."

With the help of these assassins, Zuo Jing could detect the slightest disturbance in Jiujiang and the ten prefectures immediately.

Taxes!

Set up a checkpoint!

The officers and soldiers entered the city.

A household registration check. "This damn governor's office was only recently established, but it's already making quite a stir. They're determined to go against me, Zuo!"

Zuo Jing was unhappy.

His henchmen were either unregistered residents or had their household registrations obtained by spending money and using connections in various counties.

The former is now finding it difficult to move an inch, and the city is hard to enter.

The latter is also under strict investigation and is in a precarious situation.

Moreover, 55 new assassins are being added every day now. It was easy to choose an identity before, and it was also fine not to choose one. But what will happen in the future?
We can't all just hide in the mountains and become outlaws, can we?
"Eh!"

Zuo Jing was taken aback.

He pulled out his business plan, and sure enough, it actually included a section on "becoming an outlaw and ruling the mountains."

If you really can't make it in the city, then moving out of the city or into the mountains is not an option.

"But!"

"When will this constant concession end?"

Zuo Jing thought back to what had happened before.

Previously, the Xiayang government had been relentlessly imposing various exorbitant taxes and levies, and forcibly conscripting soldiers.

If all those loyal soldiers in Zuojing paid taxes and joined the army, what would be the point of his career?

No choice.

As a last resort.

Zuo Jing then launched a massive anti-tax and anti-levy movement throughout the ten prefectures of Jiujiang, beating and killing those tax collectors and conscripts who committed evil deeds, and maiming those who stood by and watched others commit evil deeds.

They killed and beat so many officials that no one dared to come or had anyone to use, and only then could they catch their breath.

The result is--

"The imperial court has sent someone."

"Governor-General of Jiujiang."

This time it's even more intense; they're doing a direct census of households.

Moreover, the Governor-General of Jiujiang even mobilized elite troops from the three towns of Jiujiang to be stationed in Xiayang City first. He stationed elite troops at every key point in the city, and then had the prefectural government, county government, military town, and the Governor-General's personal guards work together to ensure that no careless handling, corruption, dereliction of duty, collusion between insiders and outsiders occurred. He even divided the vast city of Xiayang into grid areas, and recorded who was in charge of each area. If a stranger or unregistered person committed a crime in that area, the specific person would be immediately held accountable.

Lifelong responsibility.

Pursuant to lifelong investigation.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Han, despite having some connection with the Zhao family, dared not show favoritism or try to get close to Zhao Debang.

The government is really taking this seriously.

During the crackdown.

Who would dare to defy the law?

Fuck!

Now think about it -

"Whether in the past or the present, taxation will always be a regime's biggest Achilles' heel, and it cannot be touched!"

but.

How can we avoid it?

"If this isn't addressed, those conscripts will break into my yard and drag me, who's of military age, into the army!"

Zuo Jing had initially remained silent, but the census was a truly insidious tactic.

Some assassins can withstand scrutiny.

Some assassins couldn't withstand scrutiny.

The more assassins there are, the less likely they are to be detected.

Previously.

The resources of Shangyang Prefecture alone are insufficient to undertake such a large-scale task as 'checking household registrations'.

Now, the Emperor-appointed Governor-General of Jiujiang has mobilized the full strength of the ten prefectures and three towns of Jiujiang, determined to accomplish this task and eliminate the breeding ground for the "underground society".

Its heart is awkward!

Absolutely not!

"Before reaching level nine, it's okay to be bullied."

"But after I reach level nine, a level nine assassin's individual combat ability is comparable to that of a level five, six, or even seven assassin. How can I be bullied again?"

What should we do?

Then do it!
"This time, I'm going to fight until Jiujiang is completely plunged into anarchy!"

"I want to climb to the top step by step and become the biggest king in Jiujiang."

"I want to do it—"

"King of Jiujiang!"
