Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Zheng Tiejun said, "Let's divide the silver first, five thousand taels each."

Everyone was shocked, and their faces lit up with surprise; the amount of silver distributed was far too much.

Five thousand taels of silver is enough to make one a wealthy household in the city.

Zheng Tiejun was satisfied with everyone's reaction. He continued, "The reason for distributing five thousand taels is that I hope there won't be another Chu Zhengyi among us. I hope my brothers can understand my good intentions."

Lin Feng took the lead and said, "Thank you for your consideration, General. We will certainly not let you down."

The others repeated what Lin Feng said.

Zheng Tiejun nodded to everyone.

He was quite proud of himself, having been parachuted into Qinghe County and had taken down the city guards and government offices in less than a month.

Regardless of the final outcome, at least it showed the sect's higher-ups the corruption in the local area.

His subordinates deserve much credit.

He also fought for the benefits these people were entitled to.

After the silver was distributed, there was still a wooden box left on the ground.

Zheng Tiejun picked up the box and placed it on the table next to him.

No one knew what was in the box, so they all crowded around to take a look.

Zheng Tiejun opened the box.

The box contained sixty small porcelain bottles.

Zheng Tiejun said with a smile, "This stuff is much better than silver; you can't buy it even with silver."

This contains a power-enhancing pill. Taking one pill can increase one's power for a year, and it has no side effects.

Two for sergeants, ten for centurions.

The Power-Enhancing Pill can be taken at any time without any restrictions.

Zheng Tiejun distributed the enhancement pills.

Once they received the pills, everyone swallowed them immediately and sat down to digest their medicinal effects.

It's safest to eat something so expensive.

Lin Feng also ate one, but found that his life attribute did not increase, nor did his breakthrough point increase.

Perhaps because my cultivation level is too high, this kind of elixir has no effect on me.

This left Lin Feng somewhat disappointed.

Since it had no effect, he didn't plan to take the remaining pills.

Zhang Xiaoyu also ate one and then stopped, and no one knows why.

After Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu took the pills, steam rose from their heads, clearly indicating that the pills were very effective for them.

Could it be that this kind of elixir has no effect on powerful martial artists?

Seeing that everyone had taken the pills, Zheng Tiejun said, "Everyone, go to the training ground to warm up and practice your basic swordsmanship."

If everyone improves their strength, they can participate in the triennial city-wide competition. If they achieve good results, they may have a chance to join the outer sect of a sect.

After Zheng Tiejun finished speaking, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, come upstairs with me and let's talk."

The two went up to the second floor, walked to the plaque of the Hemp Guard, and looked at the city lord's mansion across the street.

Zheng Tiejun said with his hands behind his back, "City Lord Liu Rensong is the biggest cancer in Qinghe County and the root of all corruption."

Unfortunately, this time he escaped unscathed.

If Liu Rensong is not removed, Qinghe County will never have a peaceful day.

The Hemp-Clad Guards have a long and arduous journey ahead.

Lin Feng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "What you say is absolutely right, sir."

Rumors circulated that the bandits were servants kept by the city lord's mansion, and these rumors were likely true.

I have fought against bandits.

The bandits' equipment was so sophisticated it was astonishing.

To say that bandits had no one backing them is something even a ghost wouldn't believe.

Zheng Tiejun sighed and said, "Only after coming down the mountain did I truly understand the suffering of the people."

The common people are exploited everywhere.

When exploitation comes from landlords and wealthy people, the common people can gamble and give up.

Because this kind of exploitation is essentially a transaction of labor and money.

Ordinary people have the right to freely choose their transactions.

When exploitation comes from the city lord's mansion.

Ordinary people don't even have the option to say no.

Because this kind of exploitation is essentially forced trading; it's robbery of the people.

After Zheng Tiejun finished speaking, he pointed to the city lord's mansion and said, "If you don't want Qinghe County to get worse, you have to seize the highest authority in Qinghe County."

Within six months, I will take over the city lord's mansion.

Brother Lin, would you continue to lend me a hand?

Lin Feng sensed Zheng Tiejun's ambition.

However, no matter how ambitious Zheng Tiejun is, he is still better than Liu Rensong, the city lord who raises bandits.

Lin Feng clasped his hands and said, "Your loyalty is as bright as the sun and moon. I am willing to follow you and restore a bright and clear world to Qinghe County."

"Good!" Zheng Tiejun took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Lin Feng. "This contains a Jiazi Enhancing Pill. After taking it, you can increase your cultivation by sixty years. This is your real reward."

Lin Feng was overjoyed and took the porcelain bottle, saying loudly, "Thank you, General."

Zheng Tiejun nodded. "Brother Lin, what do you think we should do next?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I originally planned to wipe out the Iron Rod Gang first, but it seems I can only put it off for now."

Making a move against the Iron Rod Gang would inevitably alert the City Lord's Mansion.

We've been forbidden from investigating official forces by the higher-ups.

Then we can only approach it from the side.

We can secretly gather evidence of collusion between the bandits and the city lord's mansion first, and then wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop, catching them red-handed.

Zheng Tiejun thought for a moment and said, "The evidence you mentioned is highly confidential and I'm afraid it will be very difficult to collect."

Without irrefutable evidence, one cannot bring down the lord of a city.

"I plan to change my identity and infiltrate the Heavenly Serpent Gang of bandits."

I heard that after his subordinates killed over a thousand bandits last time, the bandits have been recruiting.

The bandits have very high requirements for recruiting this time; they only want martial artists from the Jianghu (martial arts world).

My subordinate wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate the core of the Heavenly Serpent Gang.

"By entering the heart of the bandits, we can definitely find evidence."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tiejun's face lit up with joy; Lin Feng's suggestion was indeed feasible.
