In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 148 Serve as a warning

Su Jing and Zuo Xun looked at each other, smiled bitterly, closed their eyes, and waited for death to come.

A hint of excitement flashed across Dong Yue's eyes.

Humph, you are just two poor scholars and you want to fight him? You are dreaming.

But the next second, the cold saber did not chop towards Su Jing and the other man as he expected, but instead swung towards his neck.

Dong Yue's pupils shrank and he tried to dodge, but the knife was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he felt a chill on his neck and blood gushed out.

"you you……"

Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Luo Xi didn't even look at Dong Yue who was still bleeding. He threw the saber in his hand in disdain and said, "Qi Lei, listen to my order. All the family heads present will not be spared."

In a voice that couldn't be any calmer, she issued orders that terrified all the clan leaders.

"Luo Xi, you can't do this, we are innocent." They made their last struggle in fear.

But the only response from them was Luo Xi's calm words: "Kill!"

As this word fell, the Red Soul Army was like a sickle reaping lives, ending many lives in the blink of an eye.

After a while, there was no living person there.

"Boss, I have followed your instructions and executed all the family heads on the spot." Qi Lei came over respectfully to report.

"Good, good." Luo Xi took out a handkerchief and lovingly wiped the sword in his hand until there was no trace of blood on it. Then he said: "Hang their bodies at the city gate and expose them to the sun for three days and three nights to serve as a warning to others!"

"I want to see who is still trying to pretend to obey but actually disobey."

"Yes, the boss."

Next to Dong Yue's body, the county lieutenant knelt tremblingly, a stream of water with a strange smell trickling out from his hem.

"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me. The food was embezzled by Dong Yue, and the food was hidden in his private vault. He also carried out this plan in his usual way. This has nothing to do with me. Please spare me this time."

He knelt on the ground, crying loudly with snot all over his face.

Wow, that's disgusting!

After Luo Xi suppressed the urge to vomit and asked about the location of the private vault, he winked at a Red Soul Army soldier next to him.

The Red Soul Army understood immediately, and walked over to the county lieutenant as he howled, and killed him with one sword.

Without the howling of the nasty county lieutenant, the whole world suddenly became extremely quiet. The onlookers lowered their heads one by one, and no one dared to look at Luo Xi.

I guess he was frightened by her sudden and violent move just now.

Luo Xi walked to the front with a saber in hand and said loudly: "From today on, Su Jing will be the magistrate of Cangfeng County, and Zuo Xun will be the county magistrate. All affairs of Cangfeng County will be managed and controlled by them. Anyone who dares not to obey will end up like Dong the thief."

As she spoke, she thrust the saber in her hand into the ground with a clang.

Luo Xi's move frightened the people around him again.

She curled her lips in satisfaction and continued, "Su Jing, after the grain that Dong Yue embezzled is recovered, you will be responsible for distributing it to the people. Oh, and give each person an extra half bushel of wheat."

Luo Xi guessed that there might be more than just a little bit of grain and treasures in the private treasury of a corrupt official like Dong Yue.

"Also, spring will come soon. Remember to lead everyone to prepare the fields. After a while, someone will come to give you free wheat seeds. The tax rate is the same as other places, 10% tax and 30% tax. No other taxes or fees are allowed."

Hearing his name again, Su Jing finally came back to his senses from his trance. He knelt in front of Luo Xi and said with red eyes: "Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely live up to your trust."

At this time, the people not far away also came back to their senses from their shock, and their eyes were instantly filled with stars of joy.

So, they will have a way to survive in the future?

They are not afraid of eight or ten bandit leaders like the boss.

"Long live the Great Master, long live Chaoyang Villa!"

Luo Xi looked at the people kneeling densely in front of him, and left only a young general with two hundred Red Soul Army soldiers to help Su Jing stabilize the situation, and then left with Qi Lei and Wei Qing.

Su Jing stood up slowly until he could no longer see Luo Xi and the others. "The boss is really different from the others."

"I thought we were doomed this time."

"Yes." Zuo Xun still looked at the direction where Luo Xi left with a face full of admiration: "Only by following a master like the big boss can we, the children of poor families, have a chance to realize our ambitions."

Su Jing showed his first real smile in his life: "So, we must do our job well and never let down the boss's trust."

What happened in Cangfeng County spread throughout Nanyue County in just a few days. Immediately, those who were preparing to make some small moves withdrew their hands one by one.

Although money and food are tempting, your life is more important.

Luo Xi is a ruthless woman who doesn't play by the rules. They can't afford to offend her.

Suddenly, after the change of the person in charge, Nanyue County, which was supposed to be in chaos for a while before returning to peace, returned to normal within just a few days, and even seemed more vibrant than under Tianqi's rule.

Especially those ordinary people, who are full of hope for the future at every moment.

Compared with the cheers of the people, the capital of Nanyue County was suffocatingly depressing.

Originally, Du Hong woke up when Luo Xi captured Shihua County, but the next moment, he heard the news that the Shihua County magistrate and a group of officials abandoned the city and fled. He was so angry that his wound burst again.

Now, he had finally suppressed the hatred in his heart and healed his wounds, but the entire Nanyue County was no longer under his rule.

"Come here, reorganize the troops immediately, I want to fight back!" Du Hong slammed the table and said gritting his teeth while sitting in the main seat of the study.

His face, which had already become much thinner due to his injuries, looked even more hideous.

The chief officer at the lower office hesitated for a moment, then stood up carefully: "Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back in a short time."

He didn't say any more because he knew that the county magistrate understood.

Du Hong understood, how could he not understand.

"How many soldiers do we have left?" he asked with difficulty.

Sitting on the other side, Liu Wei, whose face was still very pale, sighed: "There are only... 30,000, and there are many wounded."

This is because many of the scattered soldiers ran back, otherwise, there would probably be even fewer.

"Haha, thirty thousand, what a great thirty thousand!" Du Hong laughed so hard that tears came out.

Back then, when he first arrived in Tongning County, he had a full 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, 100,000!

After just one battle, 70% of them were gone.

"Red Soul Army, Luo Xi, I, Du Hong, will never coexist with you!" Du Hong slammed his palm on the table with a "bang".

If these villains hadn't framed him, how could he have lost so badly.
