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

At ten o'clock that evening, more than twenty people moved for nearly three hours before they finished clearing out Wang Shan's belongings.

Looking at the money that filled the entire first floor, Zhang Ye was once again shocked by these chaebol and corrupt officials.

When he seized tens of thousands of dollars of property from the Li family, he felt that he had become rich. He had never seen so much money in his life.

However, compared with Wang Shan's property, the Li family's wealth is really not worth mentioning.

Just looking at the current dollars that have been seen so far, there are fifteen large wooden boxes filled to the brim, all rolled up and priced at one hundred dollars each.

A rough estimate shows that the value of these things alone is no less than three hundred thousand.

"Sir, we've tallied the total. The current value, including some jewelry, is estimated to be around 450,000 yuan. We also have 400 large yellow croakers weighing 10 taels, 150 weighing 20 taels, and over 80 weighing 15 taels."

Chang Rui took the account book and reported the roughly calculated accounts one by one.

"There are also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and real estate deeds. There's also a huge granary to the north, which contains a lot of valuables."

"Oh, you've made quite a bit of money." Zhang Ye leaned over to gaze at Wang Shan, who was sweating profusely, and sneered, "I just looked at the account book. You even dared to embezzle the police officers' pensions. You've been collecting the salaries of three or four hundred people year-round. You've truly turned making money into an industry."

"I... I really regret it now." Wang Shan wiped the sweat from his face, crawled to Chang Rui's feet, and begged, "Brother, I have already handed over all my property. You just said that you could let me go."

"Yes, I did promise you." Chang Rui nodded, and he didn't mean to renege on his promise. However, this fellow was quite mean. He turned around and looked at Zhang Ye and said with a pout: "But now I don't have the final say. He is our highest commander."

"Ah?" Wang Shan felt as if he had lost his parents and felt that he had been fooled.

Especially after hearing Chang Rui's address, he already knew in his heart that he might have been plotted against today.

This group of people are not ordinary bandits at all, but soldiers who came out of the army.

However, there was one thing that puzzled him. Why did these people point their spearheads at him? Was it just to seize these properties?

"Drag him out and shoot him!"

Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhang Ye gave a straightforward conclusion.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Wang Shan go. Not only this guy, but all the public officials in Fushui County, he had no intention of letting them go.

His purpose is to kill them all without leaving a single one alive.

Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

What's more, Zhang Ye has no shortage of people. He can exchange for any kind of talent by opening the system page.

Since he has such a convenient way, why should he keep those who are hypocritical and may stab him in the back?

"Brother, you can't go back on your word. You said you would spare my life!!"

When Wang Shan learned that he was about to die, he was horrified and held on to the handrail at the stairs, refusing to let go.

He hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die so soon.

boom!

Zhang Ye pulled out the pistol from his waist and solved the problem on the spot.

Since you don't want to go out, just die at home.

"Hurry up and clean up the remaining personnel. Kill them one by one with the roster in hand!"

Zhang Ye turned and walked into the living room. When he saw the fine cigars on the table, he became even more certain that Wang Shan's killing was not unjust.

What a bastard, he has been plundering the people's wealth and squeezing them to the point of collapse, but he can just smoke a cigar that is equivalent to an ordinary person's annual income.

This kind of crooked official deserves death!

"By the way, let's find a local merchant and investigate to see if there are any other people involved in the case. We can deal with them all at once. We have only one mission today. While seizing Fushui County, we will act like real bandits and rob the homes of those evil forces!"

"Don't worry, sir. This time, no one will escape when I come!"

He Wei was particularly fond of this kind of violent incident and ran out excitedly with a pistol in hand.

"Also!" Zhang Ye turned around and stared at Wang Shan's still-still-cold body. "Starting tomorrow, Fang Yu, you'll take over Fushui County. Everything will follow the model of Jingshan County. Is that okay?"

"No problem, County Magistrate." Fang Yu, who had followed all the way, nodded and asked, "We don't have the right to occupy the land this time, so I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it for long. Even if we distribute the land to the villagers, I don't think they will be able to keep it."

"In a word, drag!" Zhang Ye sat on the extremely wraparound leather sofa and chuckled as he said, "We have a legitimate reason to come here to help Lin County suppress the bandits. From this point of view, the Feng faction will give us some benefits.

Besides, it will take more than a day or two for them to send a new county chief, so we should take advantage of this period to boost public opinion and station a regiment there."

"By then, even if a new county chief comes, it will be useless."

"What if they send troops to seize it?" Fang Yu still felt that his idea was a bit risky. If a disturbance arose because of this matter, the Feng faction would most likely send troops to station there.

By then, we will be in a dilemma and it will be difficult to resolve.

"No, I can guarantee that!" Zhang Ye was very confident. Seeing his doubtful look, he explained, "Last night, the higher-ups called to say General Feng's health wouldn't last much longer. Right now, the Feng clique's generals each have their own ambitions, all wanting to take the top spot. At such a critical moment, they wouldn't be so foolish as to antagonize the Duan clique over a small county."

"Besides, President Feng is just an acting president and won't break off relations with the Duan faction just yet."

"Well, then I'll transfer a few people over and hurry up to stabilize the situation." Seeing that he was so determined, Fang Yu didn't continue to ask this question.

"Okay, hurry up." Zhang Ye yawned, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and couldn't help but chuckled: "It's midnight. I'll arrange for someone to clean up this place tomorrow. Let's experience how comfortable the official's residence is."

"Don't worry, sir. I've already arranged for someone to clean it up. It will be back to normal in an hour at most." Lu Shan was extremely considerate and pointed at the stairs to flatter him. "I've got it. The master bedroom is in a great location and has new bedding. You can stay here tonight."

"Forget it." Zhang Ye stood up and walked towards the door, waving his hand in disdain: "It's better to go and get rid of the bad luck after someone just died."

"Investigate all of Wang's family members and concubines. If there are any suspects, execute them immediately. If they were abducted, give them some resettlement allowance and send them away."
