"Zhao Hu, what are you bringing people here?"

At the gate of Donglai City, Wang Meng, the commander of the city gate guard, shouted loudly with a murderous look on his face.

"Of course I will kill you, open the city gate and welcome the lord into the city!"

Hearing Wang Meng's words, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged and his tone was cold.

While speaking, Zhao Hu moved his body and quickly approached Wang Meng. In his horrified gaze, he pierced his neck with a sword, causing blood to splatter, and died tragically on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hu encouraged the internal energy in his body and shouted loudly: "Everyone, Lord Lord's army is outside. Wang Meng has been killed by me. If you don't want to die, please make way out immediately and let me open the city gate and welcome Lord Lord into the city!"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, the hundreds of soldiers at the city gate changed their faces several times, and finally took the initiative to make way for a passage to allow Zhao Hu to lead hundreds of elite soldiers from the Zhao family to open the city gate.

"Young Master, the gate of Donglai City is open!"

At this time, a Yang family guard came to Yang Rui and said softly.

"Let the army enter the city and take over the defense of Donglai City. Those who resist will be killed without any hesitation!"

Hearing the words of the Yang family's guards, Yang Rui said in a plain tone.

"Yes, young master!"

The Yang family guard responded softly, then turned around and ordered.

Soon, 50,000 grassland cavalry took the lead in riding their horses into Donglai City and took over the wall defense of Donglai City.

During this process, some generals from Donglai City wanted to resist, and all of them were ruthlessly killed by 50,000 grassland cavalry.

At this time, under the protection of five hundred personal guards, Yang Rui brought 20,000 Yang family troops into Donglai City, headed straight to Donglai City City Lord's Mansion, easily defeated the guards of Donglai City City Lord's Mansion, and controlled Donglai City City Lord's Mansion in his palm.

Afterwards, Yang Rui left behind one hundred personal guards, and the remaining four hundred personal guards were released, asking them to lead the Yang family army and the grassland slave soldiers to take over various strategic areas such as the official warehouse of Donglai City, and maintain the order of Donglai City, and kill those who took the opportunity to rebel!

After all this was arranged, Yang Rui said to a personal guard beside him: "Bring in the person who opened the gate of Donglai City, I want to see him!"

"Yes, young master!" The guard responded quickly and turned around and left.

Soon, the young man Zhao Hu, who had changed into clothes and dressed in brocade clothes, came to the living room of the lord's mansion in Donglai City. Looking at Yang Rui on the lord's seat, he took the initiative and respectfully saluted: "Zhao Hu has met Lord Lord!"

Looking at Zhao Hu, who was sixteen or seventeen years old and about the same age as him, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Sit down and let's chat slowly!"

Hearing Yang Rui's words, Zhao Hu did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately sat down at Yang Rui's head, then turned his gaze to Yang Rui, waiting for Yang Rui to speak.

"Zhao Hu, you are the first and only family leader in Donglai City to surrender to me. I wonder why you surrender to me? Don't you surrender to other families in Donglai City?"

Looking at Zhao Hu sitting in the lower head, Yang Rui asked with a curious look on his face.

Although the Zhao family where Zhao Hu is located is just a small family in Donglai City, it has survived in Donglai City for more than a hundred years, has a great network of relationships and great potential. When all families in Donglai City exclude themselves, Zhao Hu needs a lot of courage and decisiveness to lead the Zhao family to surrender to him, which makes Yang Rui very curious.

"Lord, you are the hereditary baron of the empire. The entire Donglai Peninsula is your fiefdom, and Donglai City is your fiefdom capital. It has indisputable sovereignty over Donglai City. As the people of the empire, our Zhao family, who can they surrender if they don't surrender to you?" Zhao Hu responded softly.

"Zhao Hu, can you introduce me to the situation in Donglai City?"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Yang Rui smiled slightly and said softly.

As soon as Yang Rui finished his voice, Zhao Hu responded loudly: "Lord, although our Donglai City is the capital of the Donglai Peninsula, its influence on the Donglai Peninsula is actually very limited. It can only radiate to a few cities near the Donglai Mountain Canyon. It has a population of more than 5 million, most of which are mediocre farmers of the major families in the city, thinking that the major races make a living,,,,,"

Hearing Zhao Hu's introduction, Yang Rui nodded gently, knowing that he had not deceived him and said everything was true, some of the information he had not even learned about.

After Zhao Hu introduced the situation in Donglai City, Yang Rui smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Hu, as your reward for opening the city gate, I can let your Zhao family retain one-tenth of the land. Our Yang family will acquire the remaining land at the market price. It will definitely not cause you to lose money. I wonder what you think?"

Hearing Yang Rui's words, Zhao Hu responded without hesitation: "Lord, our Zhao family is willing to devote all the land to the Lord!"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Yang Rui smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Zhao Hu, just do what I just said, go and prepare! In a few days, someone will hand over to you!"

Seeing that Yang Rui had made up his mind, Zhao Hu nodded softly, then chatted with Yang Rui for a while, and then left the Lord of Donglai City Mansion.

"Master, our Zhao family opens the city gate and welcomes the Lord to enter the city. What kind of reward does the Lord give us the Zhao family?" The man in iron armor, when he saw Zhao Hu coming out of Donglai City, hurriedly met him and asked with anticipation on his face.

"The Lord Lord allows our Zhao family to retain one-tenth of the land and acquire other land at the market price, so that our Zhao family will not suffer any losses!" Zhao Hu said softly.

"Master, Lord Lord is too much! Our Zhao family opens the city gate to welcome him into the city. Not only does he give us the Zhao family rewards, but he also wants to seize the land of our Zhao family. Isn't this ungrateful?"

As soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, the man in iron armor complained with anger.

The man wearing iron armor is named Zhao Lei. He is the captain of the Zhao family's guard team and Zhao Hu's most trusted subordinate.

He originally thought that Zhao Hu would receive Yang Rui's reward, but he did not expect that Zhao Hu not only did not receive Yang Rui's reward, but instead seized the Zhao family's land by Yang Rui. This made Zhao Lei very angry. If it were not for his strength, Zhao Lei would have wanted to enter the mansion of the Lord of Donglai City and kill Yang Rui on the spot.

"Zhao Lei, you don't understand some things. After a while, you will know what a great reward it is for the Lord to allow us to retain one-tenth of the land!" Zhao Hu shook his head gently and said.

After saying that, Zhao Hu took Zhao Lei back to the Zhao family, took out all the land deeds in the family, selected one-tenth of them, and put the rest together to sell them to the Yang family.

When Zhao Hu was going home to prepare, Yang Kun brought the army into Donglai City and asked the surrendered soldiers from Donglai City to be imprisoned in the camp in the city. Then he came to Donglai City's lord's mansion to report to Yang Rui.

"Uncle Kun, this is a list of major families and wealthy merchants in Donglai City. Among them, the families and wealthy merchants I have checked out all their families and exterminated their families. The rest will purchase the land they control at a price of one tenth of the market price. They are only allowed to retain one thousand acres of land, and all the excesses are forced to be purchased. Those who refuse to acquire will be rushed to Donglai City. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Yang Rui took out a list, handed it to Yang Kun, and said in a plain tone.

The list in Yang Rui's hand was listed by Yang Rui based on information from various parties after Zhao Hu left. Among them, the families and wealthy businessmen who were checked were either Wang Xi's direct descendants or sent troops to participate in the siege and kill the Yang family army. They were naturally liquidated and their families were confiscated and their families were exterminated. Although those families and wealthy businessmen who did not take action directly against the Yang family, they also provided Wang Xi with money, food and materials, which indirectly caused harm to the Yang family army, Yang Rui would not let them go easily.

Of course, these are all secondary. The main thing is that these families and wealthy businessmen control the wealth above the nine floors of Donglai City. Most of the people in Donglai City can survive by relying on these families and wealthy businessmen.

In other words, these wealthy businessmen and families control the actual power of Donglai City. If Yang Rui does not eliminate it, he will not be able to control Donglai City in a limited manner. He will be even more said to find a place to build a new city and resettle the upcoming Yangjia Village people.

You should know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Yangjia Village, Yinghe Town, and some people who are willing to rely on the Yang family, there are at least millions or even millions together.

With so many people resettlement work, there is a great demand for land, but the land in Donglai City has nine floors controlled by these families and wealthy businessmen, which forced Yang Rui to take ruthless measures and clean up these wealthy businessmen and families.

"Yes, young master!"

Hearing Yang Rui's words, Yang Kun took the list, took a casual look, responded loudly, and then went down to arrange it.

Soon, 50,000 grassland slave soldiers and 20,000 Yang family troops, led by Yang Kun and 400 Yang family guards, were divided into brigades and rushed to the families and wealthy merchants on the list.

Faced with the murderous and powerful Yang family army and the grassland slave soldiers, the large families and wealthy businessmen in Donglai City were ruthlessly wiped out, and their families were killed. All their industries and wealth fell into the control of the Yang family.

Under the threat of the Yang family army and the grassland slave soldiers, most of the families and wealthy businessmen chose to sell the land they were in. Only a small number refused to sell it and were forcibly acquired and driven out of Donglai City. Some families and wealthy businessmen who dared to resist by force were ruthlessly wiped out by the Yang family army and the grassland slave soldiers, and all their property was confiscated.

In just three days, the large families and wealthy businessmen on the seventh floor of Donglai City were wiped out completely. The families and wealthy businessmen on the twoth floor survived after selling the land they had.

During this process, more than 100,000 relatives of guard soldiers from major families and wealthy businessmen were ruthlessly killed, becoming broken corpses, and were hit and buried in a large pit outside the city.

As the land and wealth above the nine-story of Donglai City were concentrated in Yang Rui's hands, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yang Rui's mouth, and he threw a development plan for Donglai City in the next five years to Yang Kun, allowing him to build according to the development plan, so he focused on practicing in seclusion, preparing to break through the bottleneck earlier, advance to the magical realm, and become a powerful monk.

While Yang Rui was concentrating on his practice, Zhao Lei, the captain of the Zhao family guard team, looked at Zhao Hu, with shock on his face and said, "Master, Lord Lord is too cruel! He even cleaned up the families and wealthy businessmen above the seventh floor of Donglai City in an instant. Don't he know that these families are extraordinary and rich businessmen and have close relationships with many forces on the Donglai Peninsula?

As soon as the Lord came, he killed so many families and wealthy businessmen and killed more than 100,000 people. Aren’t he afraid of arousing opposition from many forces on the Donglai Peninsula or even attacking the army?"

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Zhao Hu said in a plain tone: "Our lord is very heartful and wants to control the entire Donglai Peninsula. It would be fine if the pirate forces on the Donglai Peninsula do not come. Once you dare to attack our Donglai City, there will definitely be no return!"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Lei whispered: "Master, is Lord Lord lord so powerful?"

As soon as Zhao Lei's voice fell, Zhao Hu replied softly: "Yes! Lord Lord's strength is not something you can guess! From today on, our Zhao family will follow the leader of the Lord Lord. Whatever the Lord Lord needs our Zhao family, our Zhao family will do, and we will definitely not allow any objection!"
