Chapter 100: Departure to Jianghe County

zed, describing its unique flavor and praising it highly.The villagers who hadn't tasted it were all staring longingly, about to drool."Yang Lin, will you sell these thousand for me""Yeah, yeah, we wa...Yang Lin was about to speak truthfully and prepare to deny it.

However, Li Yuxiang immediately chimed in, "It's true!"

Both Zhao Fugui and Zhong Tao gasped in shock.

Yang Lin, however, looked at Li Yunyao strangely.

To this day, he himself hasn't figured out what on earth is going on.

But with so many people around, he was too embarrassed to ask and could only nod.

"Uncle Three, no matter if this title of mine is real or not, right now it can only be real. You understand"

Zhao Fuguai hurriedly nodded.

What on earth doesn't he understand

If it is true, then it is naturally good.

Even if it's fake, you must act as if it's real!

Otherwise, relying solely on killing the county magistrate would lead to dire consequences for Yang Lin's family and even all the villagers present tonight!

"But what are we going to do now Zhao Deyi is a county magistrate after all. I really didn't expect that you would be so bold, saying kill just to kill!"

Zhao Fugui sighed.

Yang Lin shook his head. "Zhao Deyi is already onto us. If he's still alive, he'll definitely find a way to get rid of us!"

"Therefore, I must eliminate him during this opportunity!"

As for what to do next, that's precisely why I decided to move up the plan!

"Uncle Three, Taoge, this matter requires both of you to take risks, so I must also get your consent. If both of you agree, then we'll carry out the plan as before!"

"If you two..."

"I'm done!"

Before Yang Lin could finish speaking, Zhong Tao clenched his fists, his face resolute, and nodded in agreement.

"I... Ugh! Dead is dead! I'm going crazy with you!"

Zhao Fu貴 also suddenly punched his own palm, his face resolute.

"Okay, let's get ready and leave right away."

Yang Lin looked at Li Yunyao: "My wife, I leave the family matters to you. Be careful these two days. If everything goes well, I'll be back soon."

"I'll go with you!" Li Yuyao said hurriedly, "I'm well-versed in the law, I might be able to help you! As for home, you can leave it to Third Sister!"

"That's fine."

Yang Lin didn't hesitate and agreed.

He still didn't know what the imperial decree was about, so he planned to ask about it on the way.

“Alright, that's it. Tao Ge, you bring ten… no! Twenty men! Equip them with ten crossbows and fine iron swords, ride horses, and make sure everyone understands this trip could be dangerous, even deadly! Upon your return, each man will receive a reward of ten taels of silver!”

“Uncle Three, you should also gather some manpower, the more the better. Only able-bodied men, anyone who follows on this trip will get five taels of silver!”

Zhao Fugui and Zhong Tao both nodded eagerly.

Soon, everything will be ready.

Zhong Tao, on his side, had assembled a guard of twenty men, equipped with various weapons and mounted on twenty horses seized from the Blackwind Mountain bandits. Only Qin Shuang remained in the village with ten men.

Although many of them only learned to ride in the past few days and are not yet as skilled as real cavalry, capable of fighting effectively on horseback, they can still serve as foot soldiers or perform basic actions like charging and slashing.

At this moment, these twenty men, with a crossbow on their left hip and a long sword on their right, holding a spear in their hands, even the vital parts of their clothes were lined with iron plates forged from refined iron by the blacksmiths. Riding on horseback, they looked imposing, and that murderous aura instantly became different.

On Zhao Fugui's side, over eighty people had gathered in no time! Word got around that going to the county town would earn them five taels of silver each, and hardly anyone was unwilling to go.

Even though some clever people thought that going to the county town tonight might cause a big incident, and even guessed that Yang Lin was going to rebel...

But this doesn't hinder their decision!

Five ounces of silver, enough for them to fight with their lives!

"Let's go!"

As Yang Lin gave the order, Zhong Tao led his guard on horseback flanking both sides. In the middle were the yamen servants whose weapons had been confiscated, and at the front and rear were villagers carrying various weapons to clear the way.

Besides Zhao Fugui, Yang Lin only brought Li Yunyao, and two maidservants named Ziyi and Qingyi.

If it had been in the past, Yang Lin would have absolutely not dared to go out like this.

But after seeing the strength of Purple and Green, he was very relieved about safety.

That day, he came with a bodyguard squad of over ten people, but was beaten to a pulp by Ziyi single-handedly.

Later on, he learned that at the time, Zi Yi was both tired and hungry, in poor condition, yet she still easily handled the guards.

Now that they are at their peak, just how terrifying would their strength be Yang Lin didn't even dare to imagine.

As for Qingyi, she's no simple matter either. Although Li Yunyao said she was skilled in acupuncture, Yang Lin had seen her fight and even her martial arts were inferior to Ziyis!

With two such masters by his side, he could rest assured.

It's a pity that Yang Lin didn't find an opportunity along the way to ask alone about what was going on with the imperial decree.

>It doesn't matter anyway.

Regardless of how the imperial decree came to be, with the title "Lord" now in his possession, and whether others believe it or not, his plans will proceed even more smoothly!

Two hours later, the main force finally returned to the county town.

Before entering the city, Yang Lin halted the main force. He walked before those government officials and ordered someone to bring a chest.

The box opened, brimming with silver!

"My brothers, now Zhao Deyi has been executed, and Zhou Kun will also be imprisoned for his crimes. The positions of County Magistrate and Head Jailer are therefore vacant."

"My lords, let me be frank with you. In the past, I have been too lazy to concern myself with these trivial matters and had no desire to mingle in the officialdom. But now, circumstances force my hand. This river of bureaucracy is a path I must tread!"

The position of county magistrate has already been arranged by this marquis.

But this warden, and some vacant positions…

Yang Lin paused, surveyed the crowd, and slowly spoke, "Everyone present, as long as you are under my command, you all have a chance!"

"As for the past, this Duke can let bygones be bygones. But from now on, anyone who dares to oppose this Duke will suffer the same fate as Zhao Deyi!"

As for what I do for this title…

Yang Lin took out a ten-liang silver ingot from the box and tossed it to Song Qian.

Song Qian also immediately cooperated very much, showing a flattering smile, holding the silver, and respectfully said: "Thank you, Sir! I will definitely serve the Lord with all my might!"

Now, anyone who wants to be knighted, come forward and receive two ounces of silver each!

"As for those who wish to oppose me, you may leave now!"

On one side is two ounces of silver, on the other, standing against the nobility!

No one is a fool, the current situation, who dares to leave

Don't you see the archers all around are glaring menacingly at them

Zhao Deyi is already dead, they won't go to bury him!

Especially some clever ones have already thought of it, Yang Lin brought so many people to the county town tonight, he is probably going to settle accounts with the Zhao family and the Zhou family!

And after tonight, the power structure in Jianghe County is bound to be reshuffled!, Zheng's manager dared not speak another word.Although every family that comes wants to eat alone, smart people already understand that the trouble Zhou's family has caused has made the rest of the f...
