"Don't you have to go to the county to deliver documents and file them at the end of the month?"
"Madam, you-"
Seeing Chu Ming's anxious look, Yu Niang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Chu Ming, who lowered his head in despair, was secretly shouting, "When will this bitch disappear?"
The winter in Hedong County is not too cold this year, and many poor people can survive this difficulty safely.
If it's like previous years, I don't know how many families will need to sell their children to survive the difficult winter.
"Standing here pitying others again?"
"It made Brother He laugh. I just feel for the suffering of the people."
"Master Chu, be careful, you are criticizing the imperial court, aren't you?"
"You, He Heixiong, are you trying to blackmail me for drinking again?"
"Now that you've seen it, I won't be polite. I'll see you at the Chu Family Restaurant tonight."
Without waiting for Chu Ming's response, He Jian quickly left the scene.
Looking at his leaving figure, Chu Ming said to himself, "How can a person as high and mighty as you care about the lives of ordinary people?"
On November 20th, Chu Ming summoned all the system figures to discuss how to make the Palace of Hell famous.
After looking through Cao Zhengchun's collection of the major forces in Qinghe County, he had already made a decision in his mind, but Chu Ming still wanted to listen to everyone's opinions first.
"Sir, I suggest you choose the Salt Gang."
Tu Fengsan was the first to speak, and Chu Ming was not surprised that he made this suggestion.
"What do Governor Cao think?"
"My subordinates agree with Lord Tu's suggestion, and the first target is the Salt Gang."
The Six Sword Slaves have no interest in the target of their action. They are "solid" action groups. No matter who the enemy is, as long as Chu Ming gives the order, all of them will be killed by the sword.
The two elders, Xuanming and Ming, are even too lazy to use this idea. They are just like the Six Sword Slaves, I will hit whoever the Young Master tells me to hit.
Mu Wanqing wanted to actively participate, but her wisdom and experience were not enough for her to make accurate judgments.
Currently, Chu Ming's strongest combat force is naturally the Six Sword Slaves, but only Tu Fengsan and Cao Zhengchun can stand alone.
"Okay, we will choose the Salt Gang as our target this time. All members will participate in this operation, and strive to make the reputation of the Palace of Hell resound throughout the Song Dynasty after this battle."
Hearing Chu Ming's words, everyone was very excited. How could these system figures have a peaceful master? When they heard that there was finally action, everyone was more excited than the other.
According to the information collected by Cao Zhengchun: "Wu Fatian, the leader of the Salt Gang, is a former Grand Master warrior and one of the three Grand Masters in Qinghe County."
"With high strength, great reputation, and wide influence, if you successfully assassinate Empress Wu Fa, you will naturally gain the reputation of the Palace of Hell."
Cao Zhengchun was the first to speak out about the benefits of assassinating Wu Fatian.
"The power of the Salt Gang is not small, and it controls Lishui's water transportation. The income in a year is considerable. This is not a small fortune. After Wu Fatian's death, we can completely control the Salt Gang in our own hands."
Tu Fengsan was more interested in incorporating the Salt Gang and expanding its power.
"I heard that this Wu Fatian was not called that originally. It was because he could cover the sky with one hand in Qinghe County, so he changed his name to Wu Fatian."
"Young master, you are right. The reason why he is so arrogant is related to the power background behind him. I heard that there are big figures in the court supporting him."
Chu Ming had heard about Wu Fatian's behavior for a long time. The Salt Gang did all kinds of dirty things in order to make money.
The biggest one is loan sharking, which alone has caused many people to lose their homes and have their families separated.
He also sold the daughters of those who could not repay the money into brothels, and even openly robbed young women.
Wu Fatian has done many evil things over the years, and countless people want to kill him quickly, but unfortunately because of his strong strength, the people who go to assassinate him have all become the dead souls of his sword.
This also developed his arrogant character, believing that no one in Qinghe County could threaten him.
Chu Ming is determined to eliminate harm for the people this time and kill Wu Fatian.
Soon after, a shocking news spread throughout the county. Someone spent a lot of money to commission the Palace of Hell to assassinate Wu Fatian, the leader of the Salt Gang, and the Palace of Hell accepted the commission.
No one thought that the unknown King of Hell would really dare to go against Wu Fatian. He was a great master martial artist!
Some people also remembered the saying from the Palace of Hell, "Everyone under King Wu can be killed." Does the Palace of Hell really have such strength?
Wu Fatian was naturally dismissive of the unknown King of Hell's attempt to assassinate him.
Countless warriors have died in his hands over the years, and a killer organization that he has never heard of wants to take his life. What a daydream!
"Gang leader, do you need to send brothers from the gang to come to your house?"
"Do you think the so-called Palace of Hell can pose a threat to me?"
Wu Fatian was extremely dissatisfied with his subordinates' proposal. You must know that there are only three grand masters in Qinghe County. Apart from him, the other two are the Qinghe County Sheriff and Qinghe County Lieutenant.
Not to mention the King of Hell who had never heard of it, even the five major killer organizations in Qinghe County were in front of him.
You must also bow your head obediently.
"There is no need for the Gang Leader to worry about the palace of the King of Hell. If I know where their rat holes are hidden, I will lead people to clear them out."
"I heard that the Ziyi Sect publicly humiliated them a few days ago, and the Palace of Hell didn't even dare to fart."
"They can't even afford to offend the Ziyi Sect, but they still dare to provoke our Salt Gang. They are really a bunch of idiots who don't know the heights of the world."
Others in the Salt Gang quickly agreed. You must know that Wu Fatian has always been moody. He is not only cruel to others, but also merciless to his own people.
Therefore, the people gathered in the Salt Gang over the years were all flattering villains, and all the gang members who disobeyed Wu Fatian in the slightest had died under his sword.
After listening to the compliments of his men, Wu Fatian's complexion improved. He had experienced countless assassinations over the years, but none of them posed a real threat to him.
"I hope this Hell Palace can be stronger and not too boring."
"The gang leader is mighty! The gang leader is invincible!"
A group of sturdy men began to make a noise.
"Ye Laosan, you recently brought your brothers back to grab some girls. It's been a while since there was anything new."
Upon hearing Wu Fatian's words, the people around him all shouted excitedly, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
"Don't worry, Gang Leader. I will take my brothers out early tomorrow morning to find a remote village. The girls will bring them back and everyone else will click. I promise not to disappoint you."
"Ha ha ha ha·······"
Wu Fatian's proud laughter came from the hall.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and then everyone dispersed.
Wu Fatian also walked towards the backyard full of drunkenness. Thinking of his eighth aunt Tai's slim waist and plump buttocks, his heart felt like he was on fire.
When he came to the room, he didn't care at all about his eighth aunt who had gone to bed long ago. He pulled off her obscene clothes and was about to start applauding for love.
At this time, the eighth aunt also reacted: "Master, you are evil."
"You little bastard, don't you just like the master's bad ways?"
While the two were flirting, a long sword penetrated Wu Fatian's throat.
Wu Fatian covered his wound with his hand, turned around with difficulty, and saw an old man with his eyes covered with black cloth standing behind him at some point.
A dazzling cold light flashed by, and the eighth aunt also fell into a pool of blood.
At the same time that Wu Fatian died unexpectedly, other members of the Six Sword Slaves, Cao Zhengchun, Xuan Ming and Mu Wanqing began to clean up the Wu Mansion, with only Tu Fengsan accompanying Chu Ming.
Before taking action, Cao Zhengchun had already investigated clearly. People in the Wu Mansion relied on Wu Fatian's power to do whatever they wanted, bullying men, dominating women, and taking human lives lightly.
There are no innocent people in Wu Mansion from top to bottom.
Chu Ming's doing this can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
How could this group of soldiers from the Wu Mansion resist so many masters? They were all slaughtered without even the most basic resistance.
Cao Zhengchun dipped in Wu Fatian's blood and wrote on the photo wall, "The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep anyone alive until the fifth watch."
"Sir, the secret room has been found. There are two rooms in total, one large and one small."
"Two secret rooms? It's interesting. Let's go to the small secret room first."
After hearing "Zhen Gang"'s report, Chu Ming became interested, and everyone followed him into Wu Fatian's bedroom. The secret room was underneath the bedroom.
It was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, and there were two boxes filled with neat gold bricks, roughly estimated to be ten thousand taels.
There is a hidden compartment in an inconspicuous place in the secret room. There is an account book and two letters in it, and there are three unknown triangular-shaped metal objects next to it.
By looking through the account books and letters, we learned that the master behind the Salt Gang was actually the sixth prince of the current dynasty, and one of the princes with the highest voices competing for the crown prince.
No wonder the Qinghe County Sheriff has allowed the Salt Gang to commit all kinds of illegal activities for so many years. It turns out that they all belong to the Sixth Prince lineage.
Chu Ming installed all the things in the secret room into the system space. Fortunately, the space was large enough so that it would not be crowded no matter how many things were installed.
Even Chu Ming didn't know how big the system space was.
After everyone left the bedroom, they headed towards Wu Fatian's study. The large secret room was hidden behind the bookshelf.
The secret room was filled with large boxes, filled with snowy silver and yellow gold. This coke spoiled Chu Ming.
By calculation, there are a total of twenty-two boxes, sixteen boxes contain silver, and the remaining six boxes contain gold.
The wealth in the secret room is comparable to the annual tax revenue of Qinghe County, which shows the ability of the Salt Gang to plunder wealth.
But this time, Chu Ming was also very lucky. The Salt Gang would donate the resources collected to the Sixth Prince every year.
If today's action had not been taken, the Sixth Prince's people would have transported everything here back to the capital in three days.
"Young Master is blessed with great blessings. He is truly a man blessed by God."
Listening to everyone's flattery, Chu Ming also laughed happily.
