People have their own thinking inertia, and when they have a little strength, they will get carried away and think that they are in control of everything. As the mayor of Xishan Town, Zhao Li owns thousands of acres of land nearby, and has nearly 200 tenants under him. Upward befriended the official servants, and secretly colluded with bandits from all walks of life, and those who were used to competing for hegemony in this area were unconsciously arrogant.

In Zhao Li's opinion, the officials of the imperial court are the best to deal with, as long as they have a little bit of silver, not to mention an inspection department, even the county lord Bo in Fangshan County is also called a brother and sister to him, and there are hundreds of Zhuang Ding with weapons behind him, what can he do with a mere inspection?

Even if this young inspector knew that he was colluding with the bandits of the Black Mountain Village, he would never dare to make a move in the face of the one hundred and ten Zhuang Ding under his command, and then as long as he did a little bit and sent a few hundred taels of silver, everyone would immediately call him a brother. Since I can't get rid of this young inspector, it's better to cooperate and make a fortune together.

But Zhao Li never thought that this young inspector would not play his cards according to common sense, and would ignore his No. 100 Zhuang Ding, and he would put the charge of rebellion on himself, wouldn't he be afraid that the conflict would cause a civil uprising? With so many people he has brought with him, and the number is twice as large as his, isn't he afraid, not afraid of death?

Zhao Li's eyes widened, and his body slowly fell, until the last moment of his life, he still couldn't understand why Chen Yue did this, he really couldn't be blinded!

In fact, Chen Yue thought very simply, since this Zhao Li colluded with the Black Mountain Zhai bandits and tried to destroy himself, then he was his enemy, and he naturally didn't need to be polite to deal with the enemy, just fight!

As for the one hundred and tenth Zhuang Ding behind Zhao Li, he didn't put it in Chen Yue's eyes, if he couldn't even deal with these Zhuang Ding, then what was the point of his hard work to train Jia Ding? How could they resist the Manchus and build a vigorous cause?

"Zhao Li, as the mayor of Xishan Town, colluded with the bandits of the Black Mountain Village to try to kill the official and rebel, and now he has been ambushed! What do you want? ”

With the sound of firecrackers, Li Chang Zhao Li fell in a pool of blood, and the Zhuang Ding under his men who were about to move were immediately dumbfounded. Zhao Li mixed from a butcher to the chief, and became a tyrant in Xishan Town, and his subordinates naturally gathered a group of outlaws, these people followed him openly and secretly did not know how many bad things, and they had long been obedient to Zhao Li's orders, which is also where Zhao Li's confidence lies in daring to be hard top with the inspection department.

When Zhao Li was here, these people would naturally obey their orders, but Zhao Li was shot to death, as the saying goes, the tree falls and the sun is scattered, and the grace and righteousness of the person die, what is the benefit of working for a dead man? As for avenging Zhao Li, forget it, it's still your own life.

And the most important thing is that the soldiers on the opposite side are the soldiers of the Inspection Division, which represents the government. Going against the government, that is, rebellion, the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years, and the orthodox status has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unless some people who really can't survive will take risks, ordinary people don't dare to have the idea of rebellion at all. Of course, now that it is the end of the world, Shaanxi and Henan are full of thieves, but most of them either can't survive or are carried. And Xishan is less than 100 miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, bathed in the majesty of the Ming Dynasty at all times, and ordinary people will never dare to have the intention of rebellion.

"Do you also want to follow Zhao Li to rebel?" Seeing Zhao Li's subordinates hesitating and hesitating, Chen Yue stepped forward and asked. All the family members followed Chen Yue and stepped forward, their spears pointed at the chests of Zhuang Ding. Yang Zhengping stuck his spear in the dirt, holding a hard bow in his hand, and the sharp arrow pointed at Zhong Zhuang Ding, anyone who wanted to make any changes would be the first to eat his arrow.

The Zhuang Ding looked at each other, under the coercion of Chen Yue and the Zhongjiading, they couldn't help retreating, the leader was dead, and the rabble didn't have the courage to make a decision with the government, but they were afraid of being connected by Zhulian, and they didn't dare to make a decision.

"Those who lay down their arms will not be blamed for the past, and those who resist will be killed on the spot, and their families will be dealt with according to the rebellion!" Seeing that the morale of Zhuang Ding had dropped to the extreme, Chen Yue added another weight. He was able to subdue Zhuang Ding without bloodshed, and he didn't want to make a big move, after all, there would be damage in the fight, and Chen Yue, who only had more than forty subordinates, really couldn't afford to be injured.

As if it was the last straw that crushed the camel, with Chen Yue's words, the sound of "dang dang dang chang" sounded, and some family members kept throwing their weapons to the ground.

"Don't lay down your arms, he'll kill us all!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded among the villagers, it was so anxious and desperate, some of the villagers listened to it and then re-grasped the knives and guns in their hands, it seems that the owner of the voice is very prestigious among the villagers.

It was Zhao Li's housekeeper who shouted not to let Zhuang Ding surrender, because he had been following the boss of Heifeng Zhai, he knew that he had already been seen by the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Division, and other Zhuang Ding might be able to survive after surrendering, and as Zhao Li's abdomen, he teamed up with the bandits of Heifeng Village to attack the Yamen of the Inspection Division, and it was really unlikely that he would be let go by the government. That's why he tried his best to encourage the Zhuang Ding to pick up the knives and guns again. And the family, who was accustomed to obeying his orders, hesitated again when he heard his words.

"Shoot, shoot that patrol officer!" Steward Zhao danced with his hands and ordered a few Zhuang Ding archers. Several archers hesitated to raise their bows and arrows, and were about to pull their bows when there was a "clang" sound, and a feathered arrow flew and was inserted in the butler's chest.

"Shoot fast......," the butler's howling urging voice was suddenly blocked in his chest, and he danced for a while and fell to the ground on his back.

"Whoever does not lay down his arms will be killed!" Chen Yue raised his arm, and more than a dozen firecrackers who had reloaded the gunpowder raised their firearms again, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at Zhongzhuang Ding!

"Don't shoot, I'll surrender!" Looking at the fire gun pointed at him, thinking about Zhao Li, who was beaten just now and covered in blood, a Zhuang Ding collapsed all of a sudden, threw down the steel knife in his hand and cried.

"I surrender too." Another Zhuang Ding threw down the steel knife, like a domino that had been knocked down, and one after another Zhuang Ding threw his weapons on the ground and chose to surrender.

More than 100 Zhuang Ding, half of them are honest farmers, only a small handful are extremely vicious bandits, but everyone has a herd mentality, when some people choose to surrender, more people will surrender, and then everyone will lose the courage to resist. As a result, more than 100 family members all laid down their weapons and were ordered to sit on the ground.

"What's next? What to do with these people? Yang Zhengping walked to Chen Yue's side and asked quietly.

"What else can I do? Of course, it was the soldiers who sent to Xishan Town and laid down Zhao Li's lair! Chen Yue said with a smile. Although the inspection department yamen here has been almost renovated, where can it compare to Zhao Li's manor, I heard that it is comparable to a castle. Moreover, Zhao Li has been the head snake in Xishan Town for many years, and he doesn't know how much wealth he has accumulated, so he naturally can't let it go easily.
