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

"Have you remembered?" After killing the man, Zhang Ye still maintained a calm demeanor. He picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip, his expression extremely natural.

"Sir, I really don't know..." Qian Hai was shaking like a sieve, his whole body was trembling. He just kept bowing and explaining, "This whole thing was arranged by Li San. I was completely unaware of it."

"Okay, since you don't know, I won't make things difficult for you!" Zhang Ye sighed lightly, stood up and walked into the house.

Seeing that the God of Killing did not continue to press the issue, the remaining three all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, Zhang Ye suddenly stopped, looked back at them, and ordered mercilessly: "Shoot them all, and hang them at the door of the office tomorrow morning. I will criticize these grandsons in court!"

"what!?"

Qian Hai, who had just taken a breath, felt numb after hearing this. His body immediately went limp and he couldn't stop begging for mercy.

"Sir, please spare me, sir! All of this was done by the Li family. They've been committing crimes in Jingshan County for years, seizing land and taking women. We were forced into this situation and had to endure the humiliation of working with them!"

"Sir, please be merciful and spare me a chance to live!"

"Give you a chance to live?" Zhang Ye walked up to him, bent down, and grinned, "Who will give those people you bullied a chance to live?"

"Drag him down and shoot him!"

"Yes, sir!"

Several guards acted together, dragging the three men to the door. Regardless of their wailing and crying, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.

bang bang bang...

With three consecutive gunshots, all the residents who had fallen asleep nearby were awakened, but considering the behavior of the people in the office on weekdays, they did not dare to go out to check, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Notify the brothers outside the city to come in quietly and take control of the city gate first." After clearing the obstacles in front of him, Zhang Ye thought for a moment and issued a new order: "Then take control of the people from the office and the local police station as well."

He knew in his heart that those who were not of the same race must have ulterior motives. Under the current circumstances, apart from the people in the guard company, no one in the entire Jingshan County was worthy of trust and reuse.

This barren and thorny road can only be opened up by him bit by bit.

As for the so-called Li family, it is just a third-rate family that is not worth mentioning. Nowadays, no matter who you are, the soldier is the boss. Unless you have your own armed forces, everything is nonsense.

……

The next morning, at daybreak, Zhang Ye got up as usual. When he arrived at the office yard, the bloodstains left over from the murder last night had already been cleaned up.

The guard company commander was leading a group of people to rearrange the layout of the entire office. Early in the morning, everyone was busy with their own things. Looking around, everything was presented with a brand new look, which was great.

"Um..." Zhang Ye raised his hand out of habit, and when he was about to call for help, he remembered that this group of people didn't have a name yet.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

When the guard company commander heard the noise, he immediately trotted over and stood in front of him properly, waiting for new instructions.

Although it is true that these people were given by the system, in addition to being loyal to Zhang Ye, they also have their own thoughts and need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep every day, which is no different from ordinary people.

"How many platoons are there in the guard company?" Zhang Ye planned to ask for some key information first to avoid being at a loss when it came time to recruit people.

"Reporting to the commander, the guard company consists of 150 people in total, divided into five platoons, including one platoon each of light and heavy machine guns, one artillery platoon, two infantry platoons, and a cooking squad!"

The guard company commander blurted out without thinking at all.

"Okay, then you can give yourselves a name and then hand in the roster, with special attention paid to officers above the rank of platoon leader." Zhang Ye thought about it and decided that it would be more convenient to have a name, otherwise, if the team expanded in the future, it would be easy to get confused in command.

"Okay, sir. From today on, my name is Lu Shan!"

The guard company commander was really quick and picked a name for himself in just one second.

In his opinion, this thing is just a code name, it doesn't matter what it is called.

"Okay, that's settled!" Zhang Ye saw how efficient he was in his work and already regarded him as his first confidant.

These days, it’s not the time to fight alone. If you want to get things done, you still need a few helpers around you.

"Open the door and get to work!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Ye rubbed his sore waist and gave orders lazily.

To be honest, the bed in this remote area is not good. I didn’t sleep well last night. I have to ask someone to make a Simmons mattress for me someday.

creak...

Following his order, the door of the office opened, but the scene before him startled Zhang Ye.

It was not even seven in the morning, and the gate was crowded with people. Everyone moved in unison, with their heads raised, looking at the corpses hanging at the gate, talking in low voices. Some people were so excited that their eyes were red.

"Uh..." Seeing this situation, Zhang Ye instantly understood what was going on. He immediately tidied his clothes and came to the gate accompanied by the guards.

"Hello, folks!"

With his greeting, everyone came back to their senses and looked at the handsome young man on the steps with a look of confusion and fear on their faces.

He was afraid because he was wearing a military uniform, and he was confused because he couldn't figure out why Li San and others died.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I'm the newly appointed county magistrate, Zhang Ye." As he spoke, Zhang Ye took out his letter of appointment and displayed it in front of everyone to confirm his identity. "I'm new here, so I don't have much to say."

"Do you know these people at the door?"

Zhang Ye pointed at several cold corpses and looked at everyone with a smile.

"What the hell is the Li family? What the hell is the acting county magistrate? I don't have any other problems, I just can't stand seeing the people being bullied."

"Last night, as soon as I landed here, I happened to catch these guys. So, of course, I'm going to execute these beasts who are endangering the area!"

When they learned that Li San and others were killed by Zhang Ye, there was suddenly a glimmer of light and hope in the eyes of the people watching at the door.

Over the years, the Li family and Qian Hai have been bullying the local people in Jingshan County. They have colluded with bandits in the mountains, robbed passing caravans, seized the houses and land of the people, and even demanded money to pass by their homes.

This kind of depressing life has made everyone unable to raise their heads. Seeing Li San's death today, many families who have been bullied by him are happier than during the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, many people have become more favorable towards the new county magistrate.

"I came to Jingshan County for no other reason than to do three things!"

After Zhang Ye felt the light of hope in everyone's eyes, he raised three fingers in public and shouted loudly.

"Fair! Fair! It's damn fair!!"
