Chapter 134 Cleaning Up the Miscellaneous
"Everyone get up!"
Cheng Long stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of joy on his brows.
It was worth it that he spent ten people’s blood and energy to strengthen Zhang Yi, and he did not disappoint!
This ambitious and capable warrior is brave, resourceful and patient, making him a good candidate for a general.
From the awe-filled, scrutinizing, and slightly suspicious looks from the people around Zhang Yi, it can be seen that Zhang Yi must have relied on his power to be able to instigate Cao's army so smoothly.
But he didn't mind.
Mr. Cheng would be happier if he had more capable subordinates.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zhang Yi and others stood up in unison.
Shen Ding, who was standing behind the crowd, called two soldiers and brought a box.
"My Lord, the box contains a gift from me to you."
"Open."
At Zhang Yi's command, the wooden box was opened.
The next moment, a middle-aged man dressed in general's attire and tied up suddenly came into everyone's sight.
——Cao Ying!
This is the name that came to mind for Cheng Long and the people behind him.
"My lord, this man is the warlord Cao Ying who has done evil and brought disaster to the people. The massacre of nine out of ten houses in Shitou City was his order. His purpose is to intimidate the southern cities and warn people that this is the price of resisting Cao's army!"
Zhang Yi was very sober.
Ever since he worked as a bodyguard, he knew what he wanted, what position he should hold and what kind of work he should do. Now he just wants to climb up the social ladder and become a superior person, so as to change the situation where he is bullied by the big guys.
Only by being in power can one distinguish right from wrong and establish justice.
Compared to Zhang Yi, Ma Feng was not as good as him. He was not ruthless enough. He gave up halfway and caused more than 300 people in the escort agency to die or get injured...
This is also the reason why Cheng Long had dealt with him but did not have a second contact with him.
At this moment, the hornet was hiding in the crowd, watching this dramatic scene in amazement.
"Since this man deserves to die, then... just chop him off!"
"Yes, my lord."
"Colonel, the knife."
A clever subordinate quickly handed over a golden knife.
"Drag him out!"
"Yes."
Two soldiers roughly dragged Cao Ying out of the box, handcuffed his arms behind his back like an executioner, and made him kneel on the ground with his head facing down.
"Um..."
Cao Ying, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, struggled desperately, but he was used to a life of luxury and had little strength, so he couldn't get free.
Zhang Yi came to Cao Ying with a golden knife in hand and said condescendingly: "Cao Ying, it's time for you to go on your journey."
"Um..."
Cao Ying's face was full of horror.
He is good at killing others and is even more brutal than the evil cultivator Cheng Long. But when it comes to being killed, he is worse than an ordinary citizen.
His crotch was actually wet the moment Zhang Yi raised his knife.
laugh!
With a wave of his hand and a fall of the knife, a head rolled to the ground, splashing blood.
At the moment Cao Ying died, a fleeting light of pale golden color quietly appeared behind Cheng Long's head. It was very faint, so faint that no one could notice it.
Including Cheng Long himself.
……
After Cao Ying was executed in public.
Cheng Long arranged his "Cheng Family Army" to an open space outside the city and set up camp on the spot.
Then, he walked into the main camp with great speed and asked Zhang Yi about the whole process of his rebellion against Cao's army...
"Since you have promised Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and others, then call them over and let me see them. If they are brave and resourceful, I don't mind granting them divine power..."
"Yes, my lord."
Soon, the six colonels who participated in the rebellion, Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi, Lin Heng, Duan Xin'an and others, led by Zhang Yi, came to Cheng Long respectfully.
"Tell me, have you ever killed innocent people or raped other women?"
The scene fell silent as soon as Cheng Long opened his mouth for the first time.
Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and others looked at each other.
At this moment, several wisps of black air floated silently into the mouths and noses of the six people. The six people who were just struggling over whether to answer, told their past stories without reservation.
"My Lord, I was born a commoner and have been kind to others since I was a child. But you also know that we are in a turbulent time now, and honest people are easily bullied..."
"Although I have killed many people, they were all bullies who bullied me or my family. After joining the army, I just followed orders..."
Mao Jun was the first to speak.
The other five people followed suit and told the truth.
There is nothing wrong with Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and Duan Xin'an.
However, Cheng Long and Zhang Yi frowned when they heard what Lin Heng and the other two said.
One was so greedy for money that he killed his uncle at the age of ten, robbed his uncle's property, and occupied his cousin for ten years. His other evil deeds were countless.
He was a jealous man who treated his neighbors who were better off than him with extremely cruel methods, including skinning, breaking legs, disfiguring, and doing all kinds of evil things.
The last one, no one knows where he learned an evil magic that can exchange life for borrowing luck. He has been in the army for ten years and secretly killed dozens of comrades who were luckier than him. He has no special ability, but he relies on borrowing other people's luck and transferring disasters to rise step by step.
After hearing this man's self-introduction, Zhang Yi, Mao Jun and others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this guy, who had neither the ability nor the people, was promoted from a small soldier and became an equal to them.
However, Zhang Yi and the others were more amazed at Cheng Long's methods, which allowed people to talk about their past uncontrollably without hiding anything.
They will have no secrets in front of their lord.
This is a very scary thing.
"Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi, Duan Xin'an, the rest of you go wait on the side..."
"Yes, my lord."
After the three people left.
Lin Heng and the other two who were facing Cheng Long were all nervous and wanted to escape, but their legs were out of control and they could only look at Cheng Long tremblingly. "When you work under me, you can kill people, but you can't kill indiscriminately."
"So, you all have to die."
Cheng Long coldly took out the bloodthirsty bead and in front of Zhang Yi, Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and Duan Xin'an, he sucked Lin Heng and the other two dry alive.
Then, he turned to face Mao Jun and the other two, scaring them so much that they trembled.
"You didn't kill any innocent people, what are you afraid of?"
"Come here and stand still."
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly reminded them, "Go quickly, don't you want to become stronger?"
Upon learning that their lord was going to grant them divine power, Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and Duan Xin'an hurriedly took a few steps forward with silly smiles on their faces.
"Close your eyes."
The three of them closed their eyes in response.
Cheng Long immediately controlled the bloodthirsty bead, splitting it into three blood-colored torrents, which poured into the bodies of the three people.
When Zhang Yi saw this scene, his eyes were full of desire.
"By the way, why didn't the lord ask them to sign the contract? Did they forget? Should I remind them?"
Tangled again and again.
Zhang Yi didn't say anything in the end. It wasn't that he didn't want to remind his lord, but he didn't think his lord would make such a low-level mistake.
He was right.
Cheng Long did not give the three people a devil contract because he had already cast puppetry on them, so there was no need to do so.
The quality of a demon servant is more important than its quantity.
Since she is not a smart and capable female demon servant, the more the better.
About thirty seconds later.
Cheng Long calculated the exact quantity and gave Mao Jun, Zhao Huaiyi and Duan Xin'an, each of them about eight portions of blood and essence energy. Zhang Yi was a demon servant who had signed a devil's contract, so his treatment was definitely better.
Mao Jun and his two companions were latecomers, and the portion for eight people per person was already very good.
Depending on the situation, some extra money may be distributed later.
"Thank you, my lord, for granting us divine power."
The three of them felt it secretly and felt full of strength, and their mental state was different from before.
After getting the reward.
These three became like Zhang Yi and respected Cheng Long like a god.
"This is just the beginning. As long as you remain loyal to me, I will make you stronger in the future. Maybe I can even let you master the power to move mountains and fill the sea, fly into the sky and hide in the ground."
Cheng Long subconsciously started to make big promises, which is a skill that those in power and bosses have learned without any instruction.
Mao Jun and the other two were just puppets controlled by him. He himself couldn't even fly, move mountains or fill the sea, so how could they possibly do that?
There is a slight possibility that Zhang Yi will have a future.
"Thank you, Lord."
Zhang Yi and his group were ecstatic.
"Call in the squad leaders and the higher-ranking officers one by one. I will examine them one by one..."
"Yes, my lord."
……
midnight.
Cheng Long has been working tirelessly since the afternoon and has finally examined all the more than 28,000 members of the Cheng family army one by one.
This Cao family army, originally led by Cao Ying, was notorious. Cheng Long thought that the army was full of bad people, but he did not expect that after checking them one by one, he only found less than 150 people.
Including Lin Heng and other two, there are a total of 148 people.
This was beyond Cheng Long's expectations. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have to work so hard and would have just let Zhang Yi and others investigate thoroughly.
However, after working hard for most of the day, there were some gains.
Looking at the 145 evil-doing soldiers gathered in front of him, Cheng Long gave Zhang Yi a look, and Zhang Yi immediately understood. He took the recorded evidence and announced the crimes of these people in public.
"…Our Cheng family army is different from the past. We need to reform and innovate and seek new development. We must not let a bunch of bad apples spoil the whole pot of porridge."
"The commander-in-chief cares about people's livelihood and loves the people. Anyone who commits many evil deeds will be killed without mercy!"
"Those who rape and plunder will be killed without mercy!"
"Those who are jealous and unfilial will be killed without mercy!"
By the time Zhang Yi finished reading out the evil deeds committed by the 145 people, it was already : in the morning. In order to save time and ammunition, Cheng Long directly arranged for people to escort this group of people to an uninhabited area near the camp.
"Zhang Yi, let all the irrelevant soldiers go back, and you stay behind to guard..."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhang Yi, Mao Jun and others immediately dispersed the soldiers and stood guard around them faithfully.
The 145 villains who were driven here naturally did not want to sit and wait for death. Many of them wanted to start a riot when the soldiers left so that they could leave in the chaos.
But they never expected that when Cheng Long killed people, he never thought of using a gun or a knife, but threw a deep red bead that emitted an enchanting glow.
The next moment.
A group of evil people who tried to start a riot were sucked in by a terrifying pulling force and were trapped in place, unable to move.
"Demon, sorcery, the commander is a demon..."
"Marshal, spare my life!"
"Commander..."
The panicked screams gathered into a torrent and spread out in all directions.
Unfortunately, it only lasted for a short time. In less than ten seconds, the 145 people below were unable to make any sound. About a minute later, all of them turned into mummies.
"boom!"
A fireball hit the mountain of corpses, instantly igniting a raging flame.
