The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Director, my son is lying. He is really a bandit."

"Anyway, I've got my message. It's up to you whether you want to run or not. I'm definitely not going to stay here and die!"

The police officer who came back to report the news didn't want to continue talking to them, so he bent down and tried to slip out through the back door.

They had seen bandits before, but this was the first time they had seen one so brutal.

Since they were able to kill Old Sun, they might just come to the police station. For a few dollars a month, who the hell would want to risk their life here with you?

"Run! Anyone who dares to run today won't have to come tomorrow."

The director shouted angrily, scaring the remaining people, then took out the pistol from his waist and ran towards the gate with great momentum.

"I want to see which mountain's bandits are so powerful that they dare to kill police officers!"

Woo!

As soon as he finished speaking, a short and rapid whimpering sound was heard above his head. Several police officers who were standing there in a daze looked up blankly.

The next second, a fist-sized shell came crashing down.

boom……

The flames instantly illuminated the entire yard, and the shrapnel that shot out not only shattered all the glass around, but also hurt the director's arrogant face.

Mortar!?

Bandits use mortars these days?

At this moment, he sat slumped on the ground, unable to figure out what had gone wrong.

Woohoo! ! !

Another burst of noise was heard. The police station, which was four stories high, was bombed one after another. Flames rose and illuminated a large area of ​​the sky. The nearby residents were so scared that they dared not stay in the house anymore. They ran for their lives with their heads in their hands.

They couldn't understand why the police station suddenly exploded.

……

On the other side, Wang Shan, who was having dinner, heard a commotion outside as if someone had broken in.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a group of masked strong men pushing aside the nanny and striding towards him.

"Who are you? Do you know where this is?"

As expected of a county magistrate, Wang Shan was able to maintain his composure and question the threatening stranger in a high-handed manner.

"Are you County Magistrate Wang Shan?"

Second Battalion Commander Chang Rui took off the black cloth on his face, leaned over and sat opposite Wang Shan, looking at the delicious fish and meat on the table, and teased.

"You old fellow are greedy for money. You eat and drink as much as the high officials in the capital."

"Hmph, if you have something to say, whether you want money or to get things done, just say it directly. There's no need to go through all this trouble."

Wang Shan looked at Chang Rui's innocent face and thought that these people would not dare to touch him. They were just doing this to scare people.

"You're quite good at pretending!"

Chang Rui looked at his calm expression, sneered, raised his pistol, aimed at the concubine on the right, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!

The bullet penetrated the head, and blood mixed with white unknown objects splashed all over Wang Shan's face.

"You, you, what on earth do you want to do..."

Seeing people die, Wang Shan's expression finally changed. His previous pretense of calmness disappeared in an instant, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he backed away repeatedly, not daring to make eye contact with the gang of thugs.

He originally thought these people were just after money, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel and want to take people's lives.

At this moment, Wang Shan was really panicked. He kept thinking about who he had offended recently and racked his brains to find the root of the problem, fearing that these people would become so bloodthirsty that they would kill him as well.

"Don't be nervous, we won't kill anyone easily. We are here to seek wealth."

Chang Rui was very satisfied with his performance. He picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of blood-stained beef and stuffed it into his mouth without paying attention to the people around him, slurping it and eating it with relish.

This scene made Wang Shan pale with horror, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily. He was 100% sure that the piece of beef was stained with the concubine's brain.

After all these years, he had never seen such a cruel person!

"Brother, it's good to pray for wealth. It's really great to pray for wealth. I have money, I really have money..."

At this moment, Wang Shan, whose inner defenses had been broken, sat on the ground with his hands clasped together, repeating the same few words.

"Tell me, where is the money hidden?"

Chang Rui grabbed the handkerchief on the table, wiped the oil stains and blood foam from the corners of his mouth, bared his big white teeth, and laughed softly.

"Think carefully. If I find out you're hiding something, I'll chop off one of your arms."

"I dare not, I dare not, I really dare not!"

Wang Shan shook his head repeatedly, raised his arms and swore.

"Brother, I can give you everything I have, just leave me a way to survive."

"Haha, let's get started." Chang Rui pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the wine glass and sniffed it: "If you can satisfy my group of brothers, maybe I can spare your life."

"Okay, okay, let's start. Let's start now." After witnessing the brutality of this group of people, Wang Shan didn't dare to gamble at all. He stood up tremblingly and led everyone to climb upstairs.

After serving as county magistrate for more than a decade, he had accumulated considerable wealth. Not to mention other things, the safe upstairs alone contained hundreds of large yellow croakers.

Don't underestimate this poor county. If you plunder it from top to bottom, you can make a lot of money every year.

Half an hour later, people came down from upstairs in waves, each time carrying either cash, gold bars, or some antiques and bric-a-brac.

It took a full half hour, but they still hadn't finished moving.

Looking at the piles of gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, Chang Rui scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face.

He couldn't quite understand how Wang Shan managed to get so much money from the people in such a poor place.

If he were to do this, he would not be able to make so much money even if he burned all his brain cells.

"Wow, you're really rich!"

While everyone was counting the finances, Zhang Ye, Lu Shan and others, leisurely entered the courtyard.

They have already circled the city, searching for the escaped police officers and also monitoring their own people to prevent them from causing trouble for the people.

"Sir, look at this, it's even more brutal."

Chang Rui came forward holding an account book, pointing at the income records on it and sighed.

"As both the county magistrate and the largest local tycoon, they set the rules for business while also conducting business. They have taken over all the profitable deals."

"Before, there was the Li family in Jingshan County. In Fushui County, there is no established family at all. Wang Shan doesn't allow others to grow, even if you are doing a legitimate business."

"Monopoly, this is naked monopoly!"

"That's good too." Zhang Ye took the account book and flipped through a few pages, then smiled brightly. "It saves us from going to each household to sort things out. Let Wang do it."
