The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 101 Relief for Disaster Victims
"Kill him, kill him!"

"It's heartless to burn good farmland. There is so much good food. The autumn harvest will come in a few days. But a big fire burned it all. It's a sin."

"I heard that the bandit leader of Laotie Mountain was the young master of the Qian family in Yongning City. I didn't expect that he would do such evil things. He should have killed them at the beginning."

At the vegetable market in Yongning City, everyone looked at the tied-up boss Qian and the military advisor, all of them filled with righteous indignation. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands fell like rain, mixed with fist-sized stones.

"Today, the head of Laotie Mountain, Qian Miao of the Qian family, set fire to 300,000 acres of fertile land and robbed women. This is a heinous crime that has angered both humans and gods."

"In compliance with the order of the General, at 3:30 p.m. today, I will be cut into pieces and executed by slow slicing."

On the high platform, the prefect Gongsun Shaojun, wearing a black gauze hat and a green robe, looked up at the sky, then drew out a black order and threw it down.

"Boom!"

The order fell to the ground, indicating that it could not be changed. Amid the anticipation of thousands of people, Qian Miao, the head of the Qian family and Laotieshan, was executed by slow slicing in public. The scene was extremely bloody.

……

Tiger Tooth Mountain.

"Brother Liang, you didn't see it. Lingchi execution is to put a fishing net over Qian Miao, and then use an ox-horn knife to cut off his flesh piece by piece."

"I wailed all day, it was so satisfying! Unfortunately, Old Sun's skills were not good enough, so he only cut a thousand times."

"I heard that a skilled master in the capital can cut a full 3,600 times, making the prisoner wail for three days and three nights, with his heart pounding and gasping for breath afterwards!"

After taking off his armor, Shitou, dressed in black, showed excitement and told everyone in vivid detail how Qian Miao died, with a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

After returning from Laotie Mountain, Shitou became more and more angry. He wished he could kill Qian Miao with a single knife to vent his anger on behalf of the group of decent women who hanged themselves and to relieve his hatred.

Now that he had finally gotten what he wanted, Shitou picked up the teacup and took a sip of the boiling hot tea. He was in a daze and hadn't recovered yet, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Shi Tou, this is the way the world is now. If we want to prevent tragedies from happening again, as long as we are strong enough, we can make rules and make everyone act according to the wishes of the Shen family."

"The only way now is to wipe out those hidden mountain bandits and horse bandits as soon as possible, restore peace to the people and reduce the occurrence of similar tragedies."

Shen Yuanliang, who was wearing a loose moon-white robe and a wooden hairpin in his hair, patted Shitou's shoulder and comforted him.

"Brother Liang, I know."

"I'm going to deal with them right now. No matter where they hide this time, we're going to find them."

After saying that, Shitou put on his full body armor and left without looking back. The "dong dong dong" sound of his footsteps became farther and farther away, and his steps became more and more steady.

"Uncle, this time 300,000 acres of fertile land were burned down, and there were hundreds of thousands of victims. They are all handed over to you."

"It would be best to use work as relief. Aren't we going to build a new shipyard? We can recruit shipbuilding apprentices, painters, carpenters, etc. from those disaster victims."

After a moment's silence, Shen Yuanliang sighed, turned to look at his uncle Chen Qingwen, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe and a Dongpo scarf on his head, and gave him detailed instructions.

After conquering the entire Liaodong Peninsula, the only civil servants left were the prefect Gongsun Shaojun and some retired servants, who were barely holding on, and everyone was extremely busy.

Now that the Chen and Lin families have moved to the Liaodong Peninsula, they have provided Shen Yuanliang with a number of independent talents, so that he will not be without help. "Don't worry, Brother Liang."

"With just one shipyard and the upstream and downstream industries, we can provide relief to thousands of households. Combined with other methods, we should be able to properly resettle them before winter comes."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chen Qingwen, who was sitting upright on the armchair, nodded and took on this difficult task calmly.

In Fuzhou City, thanks to Shen Yuanliang's counter-attack and Lin Zhennan's forbearance of humiliation, they bought them ten precious days.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chen family fished in troubled waters and sold all their properties in exchange for a full 1.5 million taels of silver and a large number of craftsmen.

On the Liaodong Peninsula, the Chen family, who were preparing to make a comeback, decided to engage in the shipbuilding industry at the suggestion of Shen Yuanliang. The Chen and Shen families each held half of the shares in the shipyard.

"Captain Lin, how long will it take for Fuwei Escort Agency to open for business?"

Turning the jade ring in his hand, Shen Yuanliang tapped the mahogany table with his fingers and asked expressionlessly.

"My lord, because of the Book of the Sword of Exorcism, the Fuwei Escort Agency suffered heavy losses. The escort leaders and porters were almost wiped out, leaving only Escort Leader Zheng and his men."

“It will probably take three to four months to reopen.”

Lin Zhennan, a chubby man dressed in a dark official suit, stroked his beard and spoke solemnly.

The most important things in life are experience and one's own martial arts skills. Whether an escort agency can grow and develop depends entirely on its experienced escort leader.

Where to eat and drink to prevent others from drugging you, where to stay to prevent it from being a shady shop, and even plan your route to avoid walking into a wolf's den.

"This is the second edition of "Iron Shirt". It can be cultivated to the sixth level of martial arts. It will be used as the basic training method of Fuwei Escort Agency in the future."

"Everyone can practice the first level, but only those who have made great contributions can practice the second to fourth levels."

Shen Yuanliang took down a blue-covered, one-inch thick book from the bookshelf, handed it to Lin Zhennan, and then gave instructions very solemnly.

Although Shen Yuanliang did not take the second edition of "Iron Shirt" seriously and even circulated it widely in the army, it does not mean that he is willing to leak it for free. Human nature is selfish.

"On behalf of everyone at Fuwei Escort Agency, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. We will never forget such a great favor!"

After receiving the second edition of "Iron Shirt", Lin Zhennan stood up, cupped his hands, and then said awkwardly: "My lord, I have an unwelcome request."

"My son Lin Pingzhi admires the Iron Guard very much and wants to join them. He has been arguing with me about this. I wonder if he can..."

Lin Pingzhi, who is wearing bright silver armor, is above the eighth level in martial arts, well-trained and awe-inspiring. He has grown a lot and wants to become one of them.

However, the Lin family had only one son for several generations, and this generation only had Lin Pingzhi as their son. Lin Zhennan and his wife did not want to agree, but they could not resist Lin Pingzhi's request, so they agreed.

"Join the Iron Guard? As long as you are not afraid of hardship, let Lin Pingzhi report tomorrow."

Waving his hand, Shen Yuanliang did not reject Lin Zhennan's request and agreed readily.

The Iron Guard is Shen Yuanliang's personal guard, and everyone in it is his most staunch supporter. With Lin Pingzhi joining, the Lin family will have no choice but to serve him to the death.
