Chapter Eighty-Seven: Complete Control
Xiangping City, this is destined to be an uneasy night, there are bursts of screams from all over the city from time to time, and a faint bloody smell occasionally wafts in.
The people of the city were in terror, and many of them quietly opened a crack in the door and watched in horror at the rows of soldiers passing by in the streets.
There were many more people hiding in the corners, shivering, and even those lying under the covers were so worried that they could not sleep.
But until dawn, when nothing happened, people walked out of their homes one after another, either curious or forced to make a living, and looked around with puzzled expressions.
At this time, the county guard's mansion, except for some bloody gas, has been cleaned up.
Zhang Hao also didn't sleep all night, and now he was sitting in the main hall, Shi A stood straight behind him, and Tian Shao stood there with an uneasy face.
"My lord, the southeast direction has been cleaned up." Zhang Fei was the first to come back and said with his fists clenched.
"My lord, there is no problem in the direction of due north." Gongsun Du followed.
"The southwest is also clean."
"Senior brother, the northwest direction is solved."
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici walked in together and said.
In the end, Zhang Chen, Bo Cai, Bu Ji and Cheng Yuanzhi came back together and reported the situation in their own direction.
"The corpses are all disposed of?" Zhang Hao asked expressionlessly.
"It's all burned, and Youzhong is taking people to count their belongings."
"Okay, let the soldiers all go back to the camp to rest," Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"Yes, the subordinates retired." Everyone spoke, and they all walked out.
"Tian Family Master" watched everyone leave, Zhang Hao rubbed his temples and shouted.
"Adult" Tian Shao stepped forward respectfully and saluted, now he didn't dare to give birth to the idea of going against Zhang Hao at all, this young man was too terrible.
"You go and contact the remaining gate valve families in the city, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight and invite them to come." Zhang Hao said lightly.
Tian Shao's heart sank, he didn't know what Zhang Hao was calculating, but he didn't dare to be a little lazy, and hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, you can tell them what happened in the past few days." Zhang Hao stood up, moved his muscles and said.
"Yes, sir." Tian Shao agreed, turned around and walked out.
"Ziling, you should also go and rest." Zhang Hao said to Shi A and walked towards his room.
After this night, after destroying hundreds of major families and killing tens of thousands of people, this Xiangping City basically has no strength to pose a threat to itself, and it can be said that he has completely controlled Xiangping City.
Because he didn't sleep all night, Zhang Hao didn't wake up until the afternoon, and after getting up, he ordered someone to prepare a banquet to prepare for the heads of the remaining families.
In the "Adult" county guard mansion, more than a dozen family heads were sitting in the living room, and Tian Shao saw Zhang Hao coming in, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I've seen adults." Hearing this, the others looked at the young man who was walking in at the door, although they didn't know this person, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all learned from Tian Shao to get up and salute.
Tian Shao had already told them about the fact that more than a hundred families were all wiped out, if it was usual, those families were wiped out, and it would be too late to be happy.
But now, they are not happy, they know that this is not their chance to rise, but a bad one, and it is likely to be wiped out like those families.
"You may be seated." Zhang Hao walked to the main seat and sat down, waved his hand and said, Zhang Hao at this time, with a kind smile on his face, gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, not at all like he had just slaughtered hundreds of families.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here today to discuss with you." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"My lordship commands, and we will obey them." More than a dozen family heads bowed down and said.
"That's right, I want to build a Xiangping City where there is no class, no oppression, and everyone is equal, so I want to ask you to hand over your rights." Zhang Hao was still smiling, but the hearts of the others sank.
"My lord, I don't know how far we need to go." A head of the house asked boldly.
"I allow you to be a rich man, but you are not allowed to raise private soldiers, and you do not have any privileges, you can only be an ordinary rich man."
"But my lord, we all have a lot of business to take care of, and if we don't have diners, we can't take care of it." Another head of the house said with a bitter face.
"I said you can't keep private soldiers and diners, you can hire people." Zhang Hao said lightly.
"Hire?"
"Yes, they exchange their labor for your goods, but the ones you employ are equal to you, and are not your private property, nor your servants."
"Those untouchables, how can they be equal to me?" A head of the house said angrily.
"What? You don't agree with my proposal? Zhang Hao looked at the head of the family playfully and said.
"Big, big, big, little people don't mean that." The man regretted his words, and now looking at Zhang Hao's eyes, his heart trembled.
"Okay, I won't force you, if you can accept it, you can be a rich man with peace of mind, and if you can't accept it, I can let you leave Xiangping City." Zhang Hao was not angry, and still said flatly.
"My lord, Shao is willing to obey your lord's arrangement." Tian Shao was the first to get up and bow down.
Zhang Hao looked at Tian Shao and nodded, this Tian Shao is still quite sensible, at this time he agreed with Zhang Hao first, and others will naturally be more acceptable.
"My lord, I am also willing to listen to my arrangement."
"My lord, I am willing to obey your arrangement." The rest of the people looked at each other, bowed in unison, and said.
Only the two heads of the family stood still and did not move, and the two looked at each other with a wry smile.
"My lord, I am willing to leave Xiangping City, and I will not cause trouble to my lord." A man stepped forward and said.
"It's okay, I said I'll let you go, I won't regret it, everyone get up." Zhang Hao nodded and said.
In fact, Zhang Hao doesn't care about these families, the remaining dozen or so families are all at the bottom, and they don't have much ambition, and those with a little strength have been wiped out.
These families are not very powerful, even if they go to other cities, there is no development, it is better to stay and be a rich man with peace of mind.
As for the two families who are leaving, they are either in other cities or have forces or are ready to defect to whom.
After the business was over, these people were not in the mood to stay and eat, so they left one after another.
"Shun Le, you have performed well, I allow you to select five young juniors from your family, and if your ability is enough, I will arrange for them to enter the county guard's mansion." After everyone left, Zhang Hao looked at Tian Shao and said.
"Thank you for the promotion." Tian Shao hurriedly fell to the ground.
"Don't rush to thank me yet, I'm just giving them a chance, and if they don't have enough ability, I won't use them." Zhang Hao looked at the excited Tian Shao and said.
"Yes, sir." Tian Shao nodded and said, Tian Shao is very happy to be able to save the next family, and Zhang Hao can give him a chance, which is really an unexpected joy.
