12 Long live the handsome man

In the city of Chuzhou.

Yang Ermao was unloading a box of goods from the carriage.

At this time, the owner of the shop next to him ran over from a distance and shouted breathlessly: "Don't work anymore! Don't work anymore! Go to the square! Everyone, go to the square, there is fun, there is great fun!"

Yang Ermao raised his head.

Go to the square?

What are you doing in the square?

"The Grand Marshal was publicly tried the Chu family in the square! The Grand Marshal was publicly tried the Chu family in the square! The Chu family is over! The Chu family is dead! Everyone, go and see!" The guy shouted in a duck-like voice.

Public trial of the Chu family?

Yang Ermao was stunned.

After coming back to his senses, he cried with joy: "Public trial of the Chu family? The Grand Marshal really wants to public trial of the Chu family? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Yang Ermao let out a long sigh, then moved the goods into the shop, closed the door, and then trotted towards the square.

There were more and more people on the road, and gradually became crowded. When he arrived at the square, it was already crowded.

The public trial has begun long ago.

After some inquiry, he learned that the Grand Marshal actually made a notice yesterday, but he just returned from the goods outside today and didn't know the news.

Because he came late, he was very far away.

But for some reason, the sound in the center of the square was still clearly heard, and it seemed that a mysterious treasure amplified the sound.

Yang Ermao pricked his ears and heard the officials of the City Lord's Mansion loudly pronounce the verdict: "Chu Linhui, male, 25 years old, the eldest son of the Chu family. On April 2, 1915, Chu Linhui passed by Tofu Lane. He saw that the girl Yang Meihui selling tofu was very beautiful and was malicious. Later, he forced Yang Meihui to jump into the river and died. On September 25, 1918, Chu Linhui had a dispute with the creditor Li Xuehui for gambling, and then led people to surround and beat the other party, causing Li Xuehui to be paralyzed; yesterday afternoon, Chu Linhui colluded with bandits to plot against, and was later captured by our city defense soldiers. When checking Chu Linhui's mansion, he found that a large number of girls were imprisoned in the inner courtyard, all of whom were missing in recent times..."

The official announced one by one. Finally, he raised his voice and shouted loudly: "To sum up, Chu Linhui's crimes are extremely evil and unforgivable. After trial and approval by the Grand Marshal, Chu Linhui will be executed immediately!"

Soon, Yang Ermao heard a gunshot, and then tsunami-like applause and cheers came to his face.

"Is it really shot?" Yang Ermao tiptoed hard, but he still couldn't see anything, so he asked unconsciously.

"I've shot, really shot! I saw a bullet penetrated Chu Linhui's eyebrows with my own eyes!"

Above Yang Ermao, a guy lying on the tree said loudly, his voice trembling with excitement!

When Yang Ermao heard this, he was overjoyed and fisted repeatedly.

Soon, the voice of the official sounded again: "Dear fellow Chuzhou, the general said that from now on, a one-month special campaign to combat organized crime and eliminate evil will be launched in our Chuzhou. If everyone has any grievances, injuries, and bullies, they can go to the police station to react. This month, the director will personally receive everyone. If everyone's reaction is true, a case will be filed on the spot and resolved within a time limit!"

In the distance, I don’t know who shouted: “Long live the handsome man!”

After hearing this, Yang Ermao couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Long live the great handsome man! Long live the great handsome man!"

Soon, the sound was like a wave, wave after wave.

"Long live the handsome man—"

"Long live the handsome man!"

A long way from the square, the head of the Li family and his youngest son looked into the distance through a narrow gap.

The cheers like tsunami came from afar, and the two of them were all heard, and their hearts were pounding. Both of them were in a serious mood. No one had ever thought that the Chu family, which was once arrogant in Chuzhou, was so ruined, uprooted and eradicated.

"Did you see it?" the head of the Li family asked his youngest son.

"What?" the youngest son was puzzled.

The head of the Li family didn't say anything, but just looked at his young son meaningfully.

The youngest son thought for a while and said, "Father, I saw that the people support the city lord very much. The city lord grasped the general trend."

The head of the Li family shook his head.

"Father?" the youngest son was puzzled.

"What you see is the surface. It is true that the people support the city lord, but that is the surface. What I see is the iron-blooded skill of the city lord, what I see is the monstrous wisdom of the city lord, what I see is the profound and skillful grasp of the people's hearts. Even an old man like me who has been struggling in the business world for fifty or sixty years has a sigh of disgrace! In this acre of three-point land in Chuzhou, even looking at the entire Xizhou, no one is the opponent of the city lord."

The youngest son was stunned when he heard this: "Father, the city lord is really that powerful?"

"Son, remember one thing, the power of the city lord is not something your brain can imagine."

The youngest son raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied.

"Son, I ask you, the city lord wants to attack our four major families. It's not been a day or two, right? He can actually lead his army into the Chu family to arrest people, right? But why did he endure it and why did he wait until now? It's very simple, because now, the right time, the right place, the harmony of people, and all the conditions are perfect!

Look, at this time he took the Chu family, and no one opposed it, and even we didn't dare to take action! None of them thought he was fierce and cruel, even though he shot seventeen people at once! And the Chu family is the number one big family, and there was no one that missed the net? Did you see it just now? Even Chu Linhui's illegitimate son outside was caught! Do you have this kind of trick and ability? Are there any of the city lords in Longcheng? Are there any of the city lords in Yunzhou? Are there any of them? Expand the scope a little bit, do you have those officials of the empire, and even the current Majesty?"

The youngest son was silent. After a while, he said, "Father, what should we do?"

"When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. What else can they do? They bow their heads and get slaughtered! In short, now we can only stand on the same line as the city lord, even if we have to lose most of our property."

At around six o'clock on that day, the patriarch of the Li family and the patriarchs of the other two major families came to the city lord's mansion.

"Master, I heard that you want to train a new force to protect the safety of our Chuzhou. A few of us discussed it and felt that we could not stand by. After all, Chuzhou is also our hometown. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of his hometown, so we also want to do our best. Please accept it with a smile!"

After saying that, the patriarch of the Li family stretched out his hands and respectfully handed over three lists, each listing which stated what each family handed over to Cao Yu.

The list of Li family says: 1, 100 acres of fertile land; 2, 100 kilograms of gold; 3, 100,000 yuan in cash; 4, a guarantee letter to ensure that every member of the Li family abides by the law from now on and does not cause trouble for the general. Below are the fingerprints of all adult men and women of the Li family.
