When Zhou Zhe arrived at Linhai City with 4,000 new troops and nearly 2,000 internal guards, it was already five days later.

At the gate of the city, among the people who greeted Zhou Zhe, there were Shi Fulai, the political envoy, Wang Sihai, the commander of the garrison, the head of the seven families in Hexi, Zhenhai and a cadre of elders of the Shandong Alliance, and now, even if the most miserable Shandong Sect Alliance is tall, there are not a few competent heads left, as long as these elders are invited to act as speakers and stand on the stage.

Looking at it the same way, almost everyone greeted each other with a smile, the world is like this, who let the young man in front of him not only hold a heavy army, but also take charge of life and death?

"I've never seen so many bosses smile at me, but today I'm stained with you. But I found that they didn't look good at all when they smiled. Si Shengnan rode a horse, and Zhou Zhexin chased almost side by side, and his status was self-evident.

Zhou Zhe was helpless about Si Shengnan's poisonous tongue, and he didn't care that others wanted to recommend themselves and shouted directly to the crowd

"Where is Wang Sihai?"

In fact, it's not that he can't see Shi Fulai, who is dressed as a second-class official in a red robe, but why should I, Zhou Zhe, give him face?

Wang Sihai's dedication has finally paid off, and this reward is to be qualified to lead the horse and whip Zhou Zhe when he enters the city, who did this before is unknown, but Wang Sihai is now jumping in vain, and it seems to have become the focus of discussion among everyone present, of course, there is another one, which is the two women on his side.

Xin Chai, a big name, there is no one in the head of the Hexi sect who does not know. Si Shengnan, why is it Si Shengnan? Everyone has this question in their hearts? Could it be that he was taken in? But these are not important, Wang Sihai led the horse and whipped for Zhou Zhe, should a few of them go up and lead the horse and whip for his wife?

But before he got close, he was forced to retreat by Wang Rui, who was dressed in dragon armor and heroic.

Only then did everyone see that Wang Rui, Liu Maosheng, and a group of cronies around Zhou Zhe had changed their costumes, and the black armor and golden dragon head had now become a magic dragon armor. The logo of the arrow into the dragon's head is eye-catching.

The head of Hexi is not stupid, who is Wang Rui? That is the real descendant of Zhou Zhe's subordinates.

"I lead the horse and carry the whip for the adults. A man with a bright brain and a great body immediately squeezed over and grabbed the reins of Wang Rui's horse with his hands.

Luckily, Wang Rui was not good at words, and he didn't refuse, and then he entered the city with the scenery of the front team.

Duan Xiangsi seemed to be very small, and he actually blew the hooligan whistle at the female dependents kneeling at the door of the Shandong Alliance, without any regard for the disciples of the Shandong Dao sect in the new army. His IQ is not high, but Zhou Zhe just smiled slightly, acquiescing to this kind of behavior, the defeated, there should be the consciousness of the defeated.

This is also for Zhang Zhenhai at the gate of the city, for fear that they will not be able to see the facts clearly, and make mistakes and say wrong. If you understand it, things will be easy to talk about, saving a waste of time.

The old men of Shandong Province can only blow their beards and eat ashes, and Shi Fulai also eats ashes.

Looking at the dilapidated buildings in the city and the wine shop with holes, Zhou Zhe couldn't believe that this was Linhai City, the capital of Shandong Province, a major grain-producing province.

He turned around and asked Wang Rui, "This was the same the last time you came to Haicheng?"

Wang Rui didn't make a sound, but Wang Sihai said: "Since Bai Fengzhi and that group of bandits are about to make trouble, back and forth waves of refugees entering and leaving the city, this is the situation now. In previous years, the harvest year was good. ”

Zhou Zhe asked, Wang Sihai replied, along the way, Zhou Zhe finally knew what this group of people had done to the scourge of Shandong Dao. A large grain-producing province, Zhou Zhe's important links in arranging grain are now like this, which makes him feel resentful.

There was nothing to say all the way, until I saw the magnificent door plaque of the capital yamen, the huge statue of the beast, everything was self-evident.

Forget it, don't get angry, wait for you to go to the capital, and let Lord Dou Deren slowly clean you up.

A moment later, in the council hall of Linhai City, the people who had eaten a nose after the punishment station finally gathered, and the first person Zhou Zhe asked was Shi Fulai

"Master Shi. I don't know how much fine and how much land did the Shandong Sect Alliance pay for its surrender?"

As soon as he came up, he let him eat ashes, and now he is even more self-proclaimed as the chief official, Shi Fulai's face is not good-looking, this questioning is directly tantamount to a complete distrust of him, he said

"Marquis Zhongyong, you are too lenient, right? They surrendered to the Yamen, the capital of Linhai City, and they are the place where my Dasheng Wenzhi is located, not your martial arts alone. When will the internal guard also be able to meddle in local government affairs? ”

These words are tantamount to tearing their faces, and the elites around Zhou Zhe are blushing and thick-necked, but the military discipline is strict and they don't want to say more.

Zhou Zhe sneered

"Well, that's right, I really shouldn't interfere in local government affairs, but the affairs of the Spiritual Cultivator Sect are under the control of my internal guard, Master Shi, right?"

Shi Fulai looked cold and arrogant: "So what?"

Zhou Zhe nodded: "Then let's deal with the dispute between the Shandong Dao Spiritual Cultivator Sect now, Master Shi, then borrow the hall for the time being!

The living newspaper of the present world, and then look at the fierce dragon armor guards around him, Shi Fulai dares to say that he will not borrow it?

Now, Shi Fulai has been generalized, do you dare to meddle in the affairs of the internal guard?

"I have no right to meddle in the affairs of the internal guard, but it involves the local government affairs of my Shandong Province, that is... ”

Zhou Zhe waved his hand and directly interrupted Shi Fulai's words, without saving face at all, and said impatiently and directly: "I will inform you of what is involved." Lin Xiaoer. ”

Lin Xiaoer directly slipped Shi Fulai out of the door with one hand.

Zhou Zhe can be regarded as having a clean ear.

moved Zhou Zhe's cake, and wanted Zhou Zhe to retreat, what was in Shi Fulai's mind? Si Shengnan couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Now, let's discuss the matter of the Shandong Daomen Alliance to surrender. If an individual participates in the rebellion, and then at the end of the road, he does not pay any price, and he says that he will surrender to sincerity, how can he advise those who come after him? How can I explain to Your Majesty?"

Zhou Zhe glanced around, the Hexi Sect was nodding, while the Shandong Dao Sect Alliance was not so good.

Zhang Zhenhai pretended to be calm at the moment, but the trembling hands and beard still betrayed the nervousness in his heart at the moment

"Master Hou, we are sincere, even if we participate in the matter of Xiaogushan, we are also controlled by Qi Donghai. My Shandong Dao Sect Alliance, now only we are left, the old, weak, sick and disabled, if the Hou Ye wants our lives, it will not matter, but it will be handled by the Hou Ye. ”

After listening to Xin Chai, he whispered to Si Shengnan: "If you want money, you don't want to die." ”

Si Shengnan smiled instead: "Have you ever heard a saying? Kill the one who has a strong mouth, and drown the one who knows water." This old man deserves to be unlucky, and he doesn't look at who Zhou Zhe is. ”

Xin Chai's eyes widened: "Who is it?" Si Shengnan smiled and said nothing, watching a good show.

"What do you think of all the heads from Hexi?" Zhou Zhe didn't ask Zhang Zhenhai, but turned to ask others at this moment.

"Destroy the mountain gate, men enter the mines, women become prostitutes, and the elderly are banished to the mountains and forests. "A boss who has done this with his own hands is obviously very experienced.

Zhou Zhe turned to Zhang Zhenhai again: "You, understand?"

Zhang Zhenhai didn't give up, and shouted: "I still have thousands of disciples who have joined the Hou Ye, doesn't the Hou Ye think about them?"

It turned out that here, the crux of the problem was finally found, and Zhou Zhe nodded

"More than 1,200 people. Zhou Zhe raised his head and closed his eyes, "I originally asked them to come back and reunite with their families." But I have another option, you know, twelve hundred people are nothing to me. The bones in the small lonely mountain were burned for several days and nights. The bodies of the refugees outside the small lonely mountain are still buried. What do you think?"

At this moment, Liu Maosheng came in from outside the door and reported: "Master Hou, 1,200 Shandong Dao disciples have been released, and the new army asks for instructions." ”

This is the last grass that crushes the camel, as long as Zhang Zhenhai refuses, the next moment, the people of the Hexi Sect will eat them all. And he, the people of the Shandong Dao Sect Alliance, can resist the attacks of the current new army and the internal guards?

As if his heart was dead, Zhang Zhenhai finally realized that the person in front of him was the one who decided the life and death of the Shandong Daomen Alliance, not Shi Fulai.

"My Shandong Dao Sect Alliance is at the disposal of Hou Ye. ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground respectfully, and the rest of the elders also waited to receive and dispose of it at this moment.

Zhou Zhe nodded, and the next step is to divide the interests.

All the sects' self-retained acres of land must be less than 10,000 mu, including the Hexi sect, and they also know that Zhou Zhe has left them a way to live, otherwise they will also be exterminated.

And the Shandong Dao Sect Alliance will pay 50 million taels of silver, 20 natural spirit stones worth 1 million, and 300 man-made spirit stones worth 100,000 people.

The compensation of nearly 100 million taels of silver seems to be very high, but after all, the foundation of the Shandong Dao sect is still there, how can it not be taken out?

Looking at the seven families in Hexi who are gloating, Zhang Zhenhai understands that this money is the money for selling his life.

He shuddered and said: "My alliance can only take out silver taels now, and the spirit stones can probably be equivalent to 50 million, and the rest will probably have to be repaid in installments." ”

Zhou Zhe silently lowered his chin, looked around at everyone and said: "Well, everyone, let me say first, it is impossible for me to stay in Shandong Province for a long time, originally, this money, I am going to take out 30 million to compensate for the loss of my new army, 70 million of you seven families to divide equally, now the Shandong Alliance can't take out so much silver at one time, it's better to do this! I'll take 30 million away, and the rest will be handed over to you, as for the interest, you can just figure it out yourself, and you don't need to report it to me." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a good opportunity to collect loan sharks, Zhang Zhenhai is not confused this time, and he raised his hand and said before waiting for several other heads to express their positions

"Master Hou! I remember, I still have some private money, just enough to pay for it, just pay it back in installments!"

Zhou Zheyang smiled and said: "I also know that the world is difficult, you must always leave a sum of funds for the revival of the sect! Isn't there any pressure on life after paying it all at once? If you go to exploit the people and take advantage of it, then the account will have to be calculated separately." ”

"No, no, no! The people of my Shandong Dao Sect Alliance still have some money in deposit, and they will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties. Zhang Zhenhai's head is shaking like a rattle at the moment, how can he have the dead breath just now.

People are like this, if you don't stimulate him, it will always be difficult to burst out of the desire to survive. Si Shengnan sat in his seat, watching the show, and felt that people were really the most ridiculous animals.

And Wang Sihai was not excluded from the hall, at this moment, he sincerely felt that he had made the right bet and followed the right person. A few days ago, he was also a little inflated by Zhang Zhenhai's courtesy to him, and even gave him silver. Now they understand that as long as he hugs Zhou Zhe's thighs, whether it is Zhang Zhenhai or the Seven Hexi families, they will always treat him with courtesy and filial piety.

Seeing that it was almost over, Zhou Zhe finally threw out his plan in the end

"Shandong Dao this chaos, the culprit is the bandits led by Bai Fengzhi who stirred up the rest of Shandong Dao, in order to prevent this incident from happening again, I intend to form an alliance of all the sects in Shandong Dao today, of course, this is just an idea. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go back and think about what to do with this alliance that represents Dasheng and the various sects? Of course, there is no hurry now, you can go back and think about it. ”
