Chapter 27: Probing, Counterattack, and Lying in ambush
"Surrender! I surrender!"

When they saw that Jin Mao was serious about his attack, they dropped their daggers and knelt down to surrender in their native language.

"Don't kill them! Tie them all up!"

As soon as Jin Mao heard the pure Taimu County dialect spoken by the few people, he knew who they were.

However, he had more important things to do.

"His."

Jin Mao used a knife to cut open his loose clothes and bandaged the injured Min Yue mountain people one by one.

Two old men who were too badly injured and knew they would not survive grabbed Jin Mao's hands and asked, "Lord God, can I be born on your land in the next life?"

"Yes! I can! I promise!" Jin Mao couldn't control his tears and he regretted it.

The two old men were already holding on with only one breath, and after hearing these words, they left with peace of mind.

What a lovely person.

At this moment, Jin Mao made up his mind that he would do his best to help this group of homeless people.

He couldn't feed everyone, so he could only keep them alive as much as possible.

"Folks!"

Back on stage, Jin Mao was not in a hurry to deal with the perpetrators, and he placed the Min Yue and Yao people on the same footing as the Han people.

"If you could speak Chinese, you would know how difficult life is for the Han Chinese."

“They are my people too. Do I provide food for you and not for them?”

Everyone discussed it and thought it made sense.

"The new policy doesn't say that we will cut off your food supply immediately. Don't be fooled by these outsiders!"

Jin Mao pointed at the three people who were leading the riots in the audience and said, "They are the accomplices who massacred the Yao people, the thugs of the Jiao family in Taimo County!"

At this moment, the five hundred Yao people were furious and wished they could tear the three men to pieces on the spot.

The Yao people believe that under Jinmao's rule, the Yao people will be better off than before.

As for Jiao Jiao, he was just a butcher who specialized in killing the weak. No one in the Yao ethnic group looked up to Jiao Jiao.

Then, Jinmao explained the relevant rules of the system in detail, and everyone finally understood it.

They all shouted "God, be merciful".

In fact, farmers and ordinary mountain people have long disliked those people in the army.

Eat and do no work!

The happiest people present were undoubtedly the former Min Yue Army, as they had already formed training habits earlier.

However, these Yao people always pretended to obey but actually disobeyed the orders and did not train properly, using the excuse of language barrier, which disgusted the Minyue army.

Now, not only can I train with peace of mind, but I can also get a high salary.

The only drawback is that 35 unlucky guys will be eliminated and sent to suffer in the Yao army.

There was another person who was also very happy, that was Liu Mu, who was in charge of the county soldiers. The county soldiers had more ideas than the Yao army, and with only Jin Mao's nine personal soldiers to help, they were unable to manage them well.

By the time the crowd dispersed, it was already past the normal lunch time.

Jin Mao didn't have time to eat and began to interrogate the three troublemakers.

"Jinwushang, as long as you promise to spare our lives, we will tell you everything you want to know." The leader put forward the conditions.

Jin Mao didn't have the patience: "Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll give you a torn corpse package."

The leader stiffened his neck, not believing that Jinmao would dare to take action.

"Bai Shi cut him!"

"Swish." Bai Shi cut the throat with a knife, blood splattered high, but the head was not cut off.

When Jin Mao said he wanted to dismember the body, he was definitely not lying, so he called in a strong personal soldier, who was one of the nine people who had been sent into the county army.

The system has been reformed, so there is no need to delegate the personal guards anymore.

With a few sharp cuts, it was divided into five parts.

"It's your turn." Jin Mao pointed his sword at the second person and said, "If you don't speak, you will be punished by eight points."

"Soldiers can be killed..."

Jin Mao waved his hand, and his personal soldier Gong Lei rushed to take action before Bai Shi and really chopped it into eight pieces.

The scene was too bloody and brutal. Jin Mao suppressed his discomfort and pointed his sword at the last person.

"you…"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

The last one is a coward, blurting out everything he knows.

"Very good, I'll leave you an intact body."

Jin Mao waved his hand, and Gong Lei and Bai Shi rushed to deal with the body, and they almost got into a fight.

"Remember this, both of you! From now on, you are brothers. You can fight, but you cannot use weapons."

What else was there to say? The two of them started fighting.

In the end, both of them came to see Jin Mao with bruised faces and noses. From the fear in Gong Lei's eyes when he looked at Bai Shi, it was clear that Bai Shi had won.

"You really don't want this hand anymore?"

Bai Shi raised his left hand, clenched his fist and stretched his muscles, "The God is well now!" I don't believe you, Jin Mao rolled his eyes and said no more.

Having just learned important information from the captives, Jin Mao decided to fight back.

"Bai Shi, you... forget it, Gong Lei."

Bai Shi was unhappy: "Sir, I can do it!"

Jin Mao thought about it and decided that he really couldn't use local people for the next operation.

"Just like Jiao Qian's story, this time they only killed people, not robbed them of their money."

"Here!"

"Hey, don't go by yourself."

Bai Shitou ran away without looking back.

Jin Mao shook his head helplessly.

...

South of Taimo County is the location of the Songyang branch of the Yao ethnic group.

Jiao Jiao was kneeling in Confucian attire in the largest building in Songyang, holding a bamboo slip in his right hand and supporting his chin with his left hand.

There was a beautiful maid serving on each side, one giving massage and the other feeding him fruit.

Whenever he saw something interesting in the book, Jiao Jiao would push a maid to conquer her.

Songyang is a good place. A large unowned plain is a huge treasure.

Jiao Jiao never expected that this expedition would yield such a great harvest. From now on, the land of Songyang will be named after Jiao.

These days, Jiao Jiao did not go back and has been cultivating this land.

To this end, the Jiao family in Taimo County is making every effort to mobilize immigrants to come here to farm.

Jiao Jiao calculated the time and found that it would arrive in a few days.

Suddenly, a retainer rushed in in a panic, interrupting Jiao Jiao's good time.

"You'd better be in trouble today!" Jiao Jiao was very angry. He was short to begin with, so he must not be frightened.

"Jiao Zhengqiang." The retainer swallowed his saliva wildly. The maid's beauty made him lose his mind: "You should go back and take a look. Everyone is dead!"

"What!?" Jiao Jiao pushed the maid away and said, "Who did you say died?"

Amid the turbulent waves, the retainer withdrew his eyes with difficulty: "It's... it's the brothers like me who were killed!"

"Huh." Jiao Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Someone come!"

"Behead this person who disturbed the morale of the army!"

"Jiao Zhengqiang! I risked my life to deliver a message, and you treat me like this?" The retainer was dissatisfied: "Jiao old dog, I'll wait for you downstairs!"

Jiao Jiao didn't even bother to look at her. How many heads did the woman have who dared to peek at him have?
"Jin Mao, this is quite interesting."

Jiao Jiao knew who did it without having to guess. The only family nearby who was strong, courageous and had a grudge against him was the Jinmao family!
"Kill my nephew first, then kill my retainers."

"Humph!"

"Childish trick."

As for the three retainers he sent, Jiao Jiao selectively forgot about them.

"When you hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part."

Jiao Jiao looked fierce: "I'm going to think of a way to kill him with one blow!"

Jiao Jiao is not a reckless person. His style has always been like that of a poisonous snake: if he doesn't move, he will strike with one blow and kill.

"We can't stay here any longer."

"We have to find a way to confuse little Jin Mao."

Suddenly, Jiao Jiao had a plan.

Two days later.

Jiao Jiao's eldest son Jiao Heng arrived at Songyang Plain with supplies, but was immediately ordered to return to Taimo County.

Frightened by Jiao Jiao's past tyranny, Jiao Heng didn't dare to say anything more and just did as he was told.

After returning to Taimo County, Jiao Jiao did not report the killing of all his retainers to the county government.

He wrote many letters and sent them to Shanyin, Shangyu and other places.

He called his eldest son Jiao Heng and gave him some instructions. Suddenly, a sinister laugh was heard in the study.

"Aunt, this move is really great!"

"Alright! Send this letter to Wushang."

Jiao Heng asked doubtfully, "Aunt, do you still want to apologize to Jin Mao?"

Jiao Jiao squinted his eyes: "I heard that Wushang County Magistrate Liu An is Jin Mao's cousin and he is not on good terms with Jin Mao."

Jiao Heng exclaimed: "It turned out to be a letter to Liu An. Aung is really amazing!"
