Behind me is the earth

"Dududu~boom~boom~"

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the north gate of Qingcheng Town opened wide.

At the front are the cavalry, all wearing black armor, with Tang Hengdao hanging on the saddle at their waists, and shotguns on their backs. They may have killed many living corpses on the way into the city, and some of them were stained with black blood. The iron-blooded aura that came over moved the hearts of the people watching!

The infantry at the back stepped on the bluestone with uniform steps to the majestic drumbeat, making a "bang bang" sound. The feeling of a hundred people as one gave people an extremely shocking feeling, as if every step was stepped on. It’s the same as on the top of people’s hearts!

Thanks to daily military postures, foot drills, etc., although these recruits have not yet developed real combat effectiveness, on the surface, they have already shown their ability to execute orders and prohibitions, at least they look like an elite division.

Among the people watching from the outside, there was also Master Lu sent by the county magistrate. At this time, he looked at the troops entering the city with a shocked expression.

As soon as he took office, he killed the previous mayor, and the number of troops entering the city far exceeded his imagination.

"Such a troop, such a military appearance... this time, could this time have unleashed an out-of-control beast!?"

Such an army can only be trained by eating meat every day and practicing every day, right?

With an elite force of more than 300 people, with such a size, it would not be difficult to capture Qingshui County!

This Ren's strength far exceeded their imagination.

The black armor he was wearing, the steel crossbow on his arm, the strange fire gun he carried on his back looked unusual, and the Tang Hengdao with its exquisite scabbard.

Armor, muskets, and crossbows are all prohibited by the imperial court and regarded as weapons of rebellion!

What kind of businessman can have these?

Even though the majesty of the imperial court is no longer there and the government order system is increasingly collapsing, it is not something that a mere businessman can possess!

Who is he?

Is there anyone behind him?

Countless question marks appeared in his mind.

Master Lu was sensitive enough to realize that he seemed to have released an uncontrollable beast with his own hands.

Moreover, now that the beast has been released from the cage, it is no longer so easy to send it in. The slightest movement may cause the beast's stress response, and instead cause it to be burned and buried in the belly of the beast.

It is very likely that from now on the county government will no longer be the dominant one, but will instead become the party being checked and balanced.

This made him unable to help but have a sad look on his face.

"Ouch~"

A burst of cheers from around him suddenly woke Master Lu up.

It turned out to be a tall horse, more than 1.7 meters tall, with shiny fur and full of arrogance. Ren Pingsheng walked out of the town hall dressed in black.

The graceful man and the handsome horse beneath him attracted enough people's attention!

The horse under him is a stallion that Ren spent millions from the club to improve the horse's genes. The tall figure and flowing mane are generally 1.5 meters tall. He looked particularly handsome in front of the horses on the left and right.

"The Qingcheng team training has been assembled, please read the instructions."

Liu Qiang drove his horse forward and said loudly.

"let's start."

"yes!"

Liu Qiang stretched out his hand, clenched his fist and hammered it on his left chest, performing a Jingchao military salute.

Ren Pingsheng drove his horse back and set up a viewing platform outside the Yamen overnight. The squires in the town, except for the Xie family, were all invited by him. They were sitting on the viewing platform, enduring the cold air in the morning. Looking at this iron-blooded army, their bodies in their long robes could not help but tremble. .

They understood extremely well what the new mayor Ren Pingsheng was doing by inviting them here.

Watch the ceremony?

False politeness!

Intimidation?

A sincere deterrent!

This was the threat Ren Pingsheng gave them, but it was undeniable that they were really shocked.

No one can remain calm in front of the cold front.

Not only the squires like them, but also the county government officials, the Wu family in Qingshui, the Zheng family in Qingcheng, the Lan family martial arts school, the Qingcheng Escort Bureau, the Qingcheng Wolf Gang, and many people from the business gangs were watching each and every one of them. Following the formation, the group trainers walked by in an orderly manner. When they looked at the figure sitting in the middle, the fear in their hearts had already reached a very high level.

This person cannot be easily provoked!

Ren Pingsheng looked at the soldiers, consisting of 30 people in a small square, walking past in front of him.

Since the military training at Tenglong Mountain, in order to facilitate the study of modern army military theories, cooperate with firearms and weapons, and adapt to modern warfare methods, the military system has been separated from the Jing Dynasty's Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Baihusuo, Qianhusuo and other guards. system and carry out reforms in the direction of the earth's military system.

It was organized into a squad of 10 men, a platoon of 30 men, a company of 100 men, a battalion of 500 men, and a regiment of 1,500 men.

The current full complement is three companies.

There are still two companies, because Zheng Fangxing and Bai Hu came back with the caravan not long ago and have not yet formed an organization.

soon.

Because there were not many people and there was no equipment to show off, after being reviewed (showing off their force), the regiment training soldiers headed towards the regiment training barracks in the city. From today on, they will be stationed in the Qingcheng camp and take over the entire defense of Qingcheng. , the task of clearing out living corpses and encircling and suppressing bandits.

Then, the county government sent officials to read out the county magistrate's appointment letter aloud, officially announcing that Ren Pingsheng was the mayor and league leader of Qingcheng Town.

In the eyes of countless people, the squire representative gritted his teeth and expressed his firm face on behalf of all the squires in Qingcheng, expressing his firm support for the county government's decision and his firm support for Ren Pingsheng as the mayor of Qingcheng.

Finally, in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, Ren Pingsheng officially took up the post of mayor and league coach of Qingcheng Town.

It was only at this time that most of the onlookers knew the fact that the Yamen changed hands.

The whole city was immersed in the excitement of the group training entering the city in the morning.

However, some people are excited and some are worried.

I am excited that this group training is a real group training, and they look very elite. Maybe the living corpses around Qingcheng can be eliminated, and the sense of security will be greatly increased!

The worry is that the new mayor has such an army. Wouldn't they, the common people, be beaten and killed at will? If the mayor is cruel, how can they survive?

"Crackling..."

But when people were feeling mixed, someone set off firecrackers in Ping'an Square.

"Master Ren is definitely a good man and a good official! You don't know that my mother-in-law was seriously ill some time ago. I had no choice but to ask everyone I could. Master Ren is willing to help me, Sugar Man Pei, and lent me a lot of money. No profit! This saved the lives of my mother-in-law and my newborn baby!

He is the benefactor of our family! "

"Of course Mr. Ren is a good man. He bought Yaojiajing and gave us free water!"

"Master Ren is such a wealthy man, but he is so polite when he buys butter tea from me. He has no airs at all!"

"Master Ren is my senior brother, and he is also studying at Lan's martial arts school!"

Some people think that all officials are the same, like a nest of snakes and rats, knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow.

There are also many people who are eager to get to know the new mayor. Everyone who has had contact with Ren has given him a good reputation.

Most of the squires in Qingcheng Town live in Leshanfang, West District.

The environment here is elegant, the security is excellent, and there are several stone archways, highlighting the past glory of certain families.

The Xie family in Qingcheng has a three-entry courtyard right here.

In the evening, hundreds of soldiers suddenly rushed in from Leshanfang and surrounded the Xie family. The front and back doors were all blocked.

The movement aroused the curiosity of the surrounding neighbors, but when they opened the door and saw that the figures moving quickly in the dimness suddenly shrank back quietly.

After a few gunshots and a lot of fighting, the Xie family members were put in shackles and marched towards the prison in Qingcheng Town.

When dozens of members of the Xie family were all suppressed and walking on the streets of Leshanfang, many of the gentry who were watching were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.

This Ren Pingsheng is so cruel!

Not only did they kill Xie Yanwu, but they also spared Xie Yanwu’s family members.

The fear of Ren Pingsheng in his heart rose again. At least, he can no longer openly confront Mayor Ren.

After being paraded through the streets, Xie's family was forced to go to prison in Qingcheng Town.

As the original county seat of Qingshui County, there are Qingcheng towns in the east and west of Qingshui County. Moreover, because Xie Yanwu wanted to make money and exclude dissidents, Qingcheng Prison was always in operation. At this time, it was more than enough to imprison dozens of Xie family members.

"The charges against you are all here, one by one, and they are all waiting for the sentencing date!"

Before Liu Qiang left, he gave these people a cold look.

Especially Xie Yanwu's son, who was used to being domineering and domineering, raping women, killing people, and doing all kinds of evil.

When facing the soldiers just now, he was so frightened that he peed all over his pants. The smell of urine all over his body was disgusting.

As soon as the door was closed, the prison suddenly became dark. Only a few oil lamps were bright, reflecting the gloomy atmosphere. Coupled with the desperate and frightened sobbing and crying of the female relatives, the atmosphere in the prison was even more intense. It was tragic.

The verdict, or rather the purge of old and new, came very quickly.

Following the tragedy of the Xie family, one lawsuit after another was sent to the town government office. After the trial, within two days, one charge after another was posted at the door of the county government office.

Those who deserved to be beheaded were asked to be beheaded by the Queen of Qiu, those who were to be exiled were immediately exiled, and the female family members were sent to the Xiangmanlou run by Xie Yanwu.

Xie Yanwu has regarded Qingcheng as his own over the years, and the Xie family has acted wantonly. Countless people have wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. When the verdict was announced, many people in Qingcheng immediately cheered!

The regiment training was stationed, a general purge was carried out, and the tough tactics were as strong as Mount Tai. The turbulence in Qingcheng Town was suppressed with a single move.

In less than two days, Ren Pingsheng already had a strong sense of presence in Qingcheng Town.

In the evening, a sedan was shuttled on the street, and soon it came to the door of Ren's mansion to get off the sedan. Ren Pingsheng opened the curtain of the sedan and entered the mansion.

"Master, neighbors on both sides came to our door today and are willing to sell their houses to us at the market price."

Xiaowan said.

Neighbors who were originally unwilling to buy a house when the price premium reached 30% are now willing to sell it at market price.

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Well, just do normal transactions. Don't let people gossip. I have to leave. If anyone comes to see me tomorrow, just say I went out."

"good."

Xiaowan knew that the young master was going on his mysterious journey again, and she was already used to it.
