I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 52: Shaking Hands and Making Peace?
"A constable from the Jiujiang Provincial Judicial Commissioner's Office?"

"The Four Great Constables of Jiujiang?"

"Go ahead and investigate."

"If you can find out, I'll admit defeat!"

As the underground king of Shangyang City, Zuo Jing had eyes and ears all over the city and had long known that the four great constables of the Criminal Investigation Department had entered Shangyang City.

after all.

He had many loyal followers in Shangyang City.

As of today.

June 30th.

Zuojing has a total of 1904 suicide soldiers, including 1755 at level 1, 18 at level 2, 22 at level 3, 25 at level 4, 26 at level 5, 13 at level 6, 21 at level 7, and 24 at level 8.

The total number of people is officially approaching 2000.

The number of suicide squad members is gradually increasing.

The larger the operation becomes, the bigger the business will be.

among them.

The number of people in Xiayang City has increased from 300 at the end of last month to 400, with the 2345678th level of suicide soldiers making up the largest proportion, vowing to protect Zuo Jing's life and property at all costs.

The number of people in Shangyang City has surged from 330 last month to 900, including a 200-strong mobile force recently formed by Zuo Jing this month.

One such example is the massacre of Lei Yuanhong.

The two cities mentioned above—

They settled down in Xiayang City.

They're causing trouble in Shangyang City.

All of these are of utmost importance, and are also the top priority in Zuo Jing's allocation of assassins.

Also.

Another 320 suicide soldiers broke up into eight reclamation groups of 40 people each, and set up bases in the deep mountains of the other eight prefectures of Jiujiang Province.

They specifically choose places that are rarely visited by people.

Those eight bases not only housed suicide soldiers, but also numerous family members of Wang Hongfei, Lei Yuanwen, and the Lei family, who were sent to labor camps. Originally there were 204 people, but 37 of them died of old age, illness, being bitten by wolves, tigers, leopards, or poisoned by snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Currently, there are 167 people serving in the labor camps.

Also.

Another 100 assassins were scattered in the other eight prefectural cities of Jiujiang Province.

Another 80 soldiers rushed to the northwest frontier and were scattered in various military towns.

They also transferred out the original 32 assassins who had entered the Lei family mine as miners, without having to stick to the old ways, and filled the various bases with their manpower.

last of the last.

There are also 104 suicide soldiers trapped in Huangsha City, the blessed land of Huangsha.

……

"There are as many as 700 assassins in Shangyang City!"

"What can the Lei family use to fight me?"

"What will the Criminal Investigation Department use to conduct its investigation?"

When not in use, those seven hundred assassins were like quails, harmless to humans and animals.

They don't need to collude or interact with each other, nor do they need to exchange intelligence or information.

The seven hundred assassins were distributed across various professions, with the most prominent being members of dozens of large and small gangs in Shangyang City.

There were about a dozen people in the smaller group.

There were dozens of people in the large group.

A few hundred or a thousand high-class people.

Zuo Jing is not picky.

If you're willing to help, then go ahead.

One smaller one goes in.

Bring in a few of the larger ones.

They stuffed in the high-end ones, each costing tens of dollars.

Dozens of gangs meant dozens of intelligence stations.

Every day, Zuo Jing would take time to possess the body, either to ask for the information he needed or to have the assassins report important information.

He alone was the biggest intelligence hub; all the intelligence from the assassins ultimately converged on him.

seriously.

Zuo Jing couldn't handle it.

I don't have that ability.

He could only pick out those that were useful to him, or give specific orders. For example, the Criminal Investigation Department sent two hundred constables from Shangyang City one after another. The four head constables were known in the martial arts world as the "Four Great Constables".

His reputation was widespread.

Zuo Jing should pay more attention.

Then I discovered—

"These people are good at freeloading and adept at taking advantage of people's misfortunes." "Really skilled?"

"Not much."

……

Anyone with eyes can see that the Lei family is like a grasshopper in autumn, they won't be able to keep jumping around for long.

Just one point—

"The entire Lei family has been turned upside down."

"But to this day, they still haven't found out who is targeting the Lei family."

This is utter nonsense.

In the Green Bamboo Gang's meeting hall, a group of bigwigs chatted.

In Shangyang City, the Lei family's actions were so significant that they were common knowledge.

"Who would have thought that such a large Lei family, known as a 'two-hundred-year-old family,' would end up not even knowing how they died?"

"The clansmen betrayed us."

"The clan elder was killed."

"The money shops were experiencing a run on them."

"All businesses went bankrupt."

There were twenty-six chairs in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness. The person speaking at this moment was called "Master Fang," who was Fang Xing, the twenty-first leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, known as "Chain Blade," and who sat in the twenty-first chair.

Fang Xing sat upright.

Behind him, Zhou San stood like a lackey.

Like Wednesday, there were thirty or forty bigwigs present, each with one or two leaders. They weren't expected to be clever or intelligent, but rather honest, reliable, and loyal.

The 'death squad' fits perfectly.

Below-average intelligence, simple-minded.
Zuo Jing specifically instructed that loyalty be paramount.

Thus, we can see that from April to May and throughout June, more and more assassins began to rise in rank within the Green Bamboo Gang.

of course.

This is also related to the fact that the Green Bamboo Gang has been fighting to the death in recent months, with too many of its leaders, both big and small, being killed or maimed.

The old leader vacated his position.

Only new assassins can rise to power.

Nowadays.

The people gathered here are not here to discuss the Lei family; they themselves have their own messes to clean up.

"Big brother."

"Gang leader."

"Master Zhang."

"Master Wan."

As one person walked in, everyone fell silent and stood up to greet him.

The newcomer was none other than Zhang Zhiwan, the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang. Wielding double maces, he was invincible throughout Shangyang and was known as the "Double Dragon General," a peerless and unmatched warrior.

at this time.

Zhang Zhiwan arrived, sat down with an imposing air, and immediately said, "Meng Lou contacted me, wanting to shake hands and make peace. He offered to transfer half of Meng Lou's profits to my Green Bamboo Gang. What do you all think?"

Fang Xing scoffed, "What's the point of a mere half a percent profit?"

Sun Banshan, the twelfth leader, roared, "So many of our brothers have died, and now they want to make peace just like that? There's no reason for that!"

Second-in-command Fan Yong remained calm and composed: "Even a centipede with a hundred legs will not fall down when it dies. Although Menglou has suffered a great blow in the past two or three months, it has been prosperous for many years and its interests are deeply intertwined. It has also made connections with many officials to transfer benefits. My Green Bamboo Gang has been under a lot of pressure from all sides recently when it confronts Menglou. We might as well stop while we're ahead."

At this moment, Ninth Master Nie Wushuang also said, "Meng Lou makes a fortune every day, but he also has to bribe officials. It's not easy to squeeze out even half a percent of the profit. Moreover, according to my estimate, even if it's only half a percent, the monthly profit will definitely not be less than this amount."

Nie Wushuang gestured with her hand.

Everyone present gasped.

so much!
That's a lot!
The crowd erupted in discussion.

The wages of avarice is death.

When people are out in the game, fighting to the death, they talk about loyalty, but in reality, it's all about profit.

just now.

Once the profits are in hand, who would still fight?
Loyalty?

revenge?

That's all bullshit.

Of the twenty-six leaders, apart from a few hot-blooded and impulsive young men, the rest all supported peace talks.

The sixth leader, Yu Butong, asked, "Does Meng Lou really want us to take half a percent of the profits for free?"

Zhang Zhiwan shook his head: "It's not easy to get this half-percent of the profit. Menglou's guests have been killed one after another recently. My Qingzhu Gang must cooperate with Menglou and Feihu Gang to capture all those people and completely prevent such incidents from happening again."
