The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

Du Youpeng stared straight at Zhao He. Although he had never met Zhao He, he had seen the latter's portrait. After a brief look, he immediately recognized him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"You are the leader of the Zhaohe Zhao Gang, right? It's an honor to see you here."

Du Youpeng quickly introduced himself: "I am the county magistrate of Ronglong County - Du Youpeng."

"Oh, it turns out you are Du Youpeng."

Zhao He nodded and said suddenly.

Before the attack, he naturally conducted a detailed investigation of the situation in Ronglong County and knew that Du Youpeng, the county magistrate of Ronglong County, had been emptied of power by the White Horse Gang and became a puppet not long after he took office as county magistrate. Even the county magistrate's freedom is restricted.

As for why he was not killed, the reason is very simple. The county magistrate is an official position recognized by the Dragon Kingdom. Although the Dragon Kingdom is now torn apart and warlords are everywhere, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Liu Ye obviously does not have the courage to kill him. Once a county magistrate lets the people above know about it, it is a rebellion.

The White Horse Gang is just a small gang. If the higher-ups bring troops down, they won't be able to resist it.

So Liu Ye could only control Du Youpeng and make him a puppet.

"It's down."

Facing Zhao He, Du Youpeng behaved very respectfully, without any pretense of a county magistrate. Then he hurriedly asked: "Gang Leader Zhao, don't you know where the White Horse Gang is now?"

"The White Horse Gang has been wiped out by us. Those who surrendered will die. Liu Ye was also shot in the head by our gang leader." Deng Gang interrupted and replied.

Hearing this, Du Youpeng, Hu Bing and others were shocked even though they had already guessed it.

Unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, the powerful White Horse Gang was wiped out. They were still thinking of going to support them, but they didn't expect that everything was over before they arrived at the scene.

"Hahaha, good, a good death. This despicable villain Liu Ye is cruel and cruel. He not only imprisoned our county magistrate, but also bullied and exploited the people everywhere. Under his rule, the people lived in misery and their lives were miserable."

Hu Bing burst out laughing, his face filled with excitement.

The rest of the people also agreed. For them, the destruction of the White Horse Gang was a great joy.

Du Youpeng hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Zhao He and said, "Gang Leader Zhao, on behalf of the people in the city, I would like to express my gratitude to you for wiping out the White Horse Gang and wiping out this group of bandits."

"No need to be so polite."

Zhao He waved his hand and said: "The purpose of our Tiandao Gang is to act chivalrously and righteously, eliminate violence and bring peace to the people, and be the masters of the country for the common people."

"Okay, that's well said. What a chivalrous person who fights for justice and eliminates violence." Du Youpeng gave a thumbs up.

Zhao He took a look around and found that people were constantly gathering and talking. He immediately turned back to Du Youpeng and said: "County Magistrate Du, this is not the place to talk. I don't know..."

"Gang Leader Zhao, please." Du Youpeng was a smart man and immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao He smiled and nodded, so under Du Youpeng's personal reception, Zhao He, Deng Gang and others came to the county magistrate's mansion.

In the living room, the maids and servants immediately prepared tea, and Du Youpeng warmly entertained Zhao He, Deng Gang and others.

After Zhao He picked up the hot tea and took a sip, he looked at Du Youpeng. He didn't hide it at all and said: "County Magistrate Du, the reason why I eliminated the Baima Gang is that I can't stand their oppression and exploitation of the people. On the other hand, I also want to Occupy Ronglong County and become the boss here."

Hearing this, Du Youpeng couldn't help but be stunned.

In this era of war and chaos, warlords from various places declared independence and continued to seize territory and plunder wealth. Du Youpeng was used to this and did not find it strange.

What surprised him was that Zhao He actually stated this purpose directly without any concealment.

Zhao He continued: "Nowadays, warlords are everywhere in the Dragon Kingdom. The people are living in dire straits and miserable. There is only one way to solve this situation, and that is to defeat all the warlord forces, unify the Dragon Kingdom, and drive out foreign invaders. , and give the common people a peaceful and prosperous age."

Having said this, he paused and said: "I, Zhao Hebucai, want to unify the Dragon Kingdom and establish a new country where the common people are the masters."

When he said the last sentence, Zhao He's eyes were firm and full of determination.

Du Youpeng, Hu Bing, and even Deng Gang were all shocked by Zhao He's words. They did not expect that the latter would be so ambitious.

"To do this, I must seize territory, seize wealth, and expand my power. Occupying Ronglong County is just my first step. But don't worry, I will never take a penny from the people. I will never bully the common people." When Zhao He said this, he stared at Du Youpeng and said word by word: "County Magistrate Du, are you willing to help me?"

Although Zhao He now leads the Tiandao Gang and has invaded Ronglong County, he still needs the full support of the county magistrate Du Youpeng if he wants to completely control the county.

Only in this way can it be considered justifiable!

"Yes, of course I do."

Du Youpeng said without thinking. When he said this, he suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Zhao He and said: "Zhao Gang Leader, my parents and children all died tragically in the war. I once swore that I must find a way to stop the war. I must To rescue the people from this deep and fiery war, it’s a pity that my abilities are limited and I can’t even be a county magistrate, so I’m useless!”

Having said this, he paused and continued: "I benefited a lot from what you said just now. I know that you must be a patriot who is dedicated to the people, and the Tiandao Gang will definitely rescue the people, so, Gang Leader Zhao, I also want to join the Tiandao Gang, please give me this opportunity."

"And me, I also want to join the Tiandao Gang." Hu Bing immediately agreed and knelt down on one knee towards Zhao He.

"I would like that too."

"And I am a man with ambitions in all directions. I admire what Gang Leader Zhao said."

The rest of the people also echoed and expressed their determination towards Zhao He.

"Get up, everyone, if you want to join the Tiandao Gang, of course I welcome you."

Zhao He hurriedly helped everyone up and said with a smile.

Du Youpeng, Hu Bing and others stood up one after another.

Zhao He said: "From now on, you are the disciples of the Tiandao Gang. When you return to the headquarters, I will write down your names on the roster."

"Thank you, Gang Leader." Du Youpeng immediately expressed gratitude.

Zhao He smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "Now is not the time to thank you. Although the White Horse Gang has been eliminated, there are still many remaining forces. There are also industries controlled by the White Horse Gang, such as restaurants, casinos, and brothels. , we have to get it under control as soon as possible, County Magistrate Du, this matter will cause you a lot of trouble."

"Gang Leader, just call me by my name. Don't worry, I will take care of the rest."

"Okay, Deng Gang, you take Du Youpeng to find Sun Tao, He Guangjun and the others. With Du Youpeng as the gang leader, progress will be faster."

"Yes!"

As soon as Deng responded, he took Du Youpeng, Hu Bing and others and ran out in a hurry.
