Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Li Yunlong nodded and shouted to the puppet soldiers: "Who has been bullied by this Liu Zhuangzhu? Raise your hands so I can see."

More than half of the puppet soldiers below raised their hands.

Li Yunlong was furious: "Why are you so cowardly? We all have one head on two shoulders, who is afraid of whom?" Then he ordered his soldiers: "Go and tie up those who don't raise their hands."

The puppet soldiers below wailed: "Please spare our lives, sir. Please spare our lives."

Everyone started to trap the puppet soldiers who didn't raise their hands. Li Yunlong then said, "Eighty percent of those who didn't raise their hands are in collusion with Liu Caizhu. Now I will take you to seek revenge on Liu Caizhu. If you have blood in your veins, pick up your weapons and follow me."

The puppet soldier who was scolded by Li Yunlong at the beginning threw his hat on his head and said: "Sir, I will do it to you."

"Good job, what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Liu Feng"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "You lead the way, and the rest of you, carry your weapons. I will teach you today how to resist when you are oppressed."

"Captain, what should we do with these remaining puppet troops?" Shen Yan asked.

Li Yunlong frowned and looked at Liu Feng: "Are there any innocent people among these people?"

Liu Feng shook his head: "No, sir. They are all related to Master Liu. They usually beat or scold us. A few days ago, he led a team to rob several villages." After saying that, he pointed at the puppet army leader.

Li Yunlong didn't hesitate after hearing this: "Kill!"

In extraordinary times, we must take drastic measures. These people are ruthless tigers. Even if they are released, their nature is hard to change. Rather than facing their bullets in the future, it is better to eliminate the danger in the bud.

After listening to this, Shen Yan nodded and worked together with Hu Zi and others to get rid of these puppet soldiers. The remaining puppet soldiers were so scared when they saw Shen Yan and his men killing people like slaughtering chickens that they felt like trembling with fear.

Li Yunlong took out his Mauser pistol and shouted to Liu Feng, "You lead the way, and everyone else follows me."

More than a hundred people rushed to Liujiazhuang. On the way, Li Yunlong asked in detail about the situation at Liuzhuang's home. It turned out that there were two puppet army companies, one led by the deceased puppet army leader and the other by Liuzhuang's son. Some puppet soldiers usually guarded Liuzhuang's home.

When they arrived outside the high wall of Liu Zhuangzhu's house, Li Yunlong asked Liu Feng to pretend to report something and knock on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.

Li Yunlong winked at Shen Yan, who understood and rushed into the yard, ready to check. But as soon as he entered the yard, he found corpses all over the ground, and their causes of death were different. They were all killed by cold weapons. Shen Yan frowned as he looked at the wounds and the faint purple marks.

Then he checked every room and found that everyone in the yard, regardless of gender, age or status, had been killed. Shen Yan came out and opened the door. Li Yunlong saw that he looked strange and asked what happened.

Shen Yan replied: "Captain, you will know after you take a look at it yourself."

Li Yunlong and others rushed in, but were shocked by the scene before them: "Xiao Shen, did you do all this?"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "This is what happened when I came in. No one in my family is left alive."

Li Yunlong asked the others to wait in the yard, and took Shen Yan, Liu Feng and others into the main house, where they found a table full of banquets. The five people had died in different ways, and one of the bodies was even headless.

"Come here and identify who is Master Liu," Li Yunlong pointed at the table and said to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng pointed at the headless corpse and said, "This is Master Liu. The clothes he is wearing cannot be mistaken."

Shen Yan walked over and observed the wound, and found that the neck was shrinking inward. He looked at the corpse's hands again, and found that the joints were thick and the palms were red. He was sure that this Liu Manor Master was definitely a Qi Refiner, and he practiced a technique like Cinnabar Palm.

The wounds of the others were basically on the back, and they were all round hole-shaped wounds. Shen Yan guessed that it was probably the Tang Sect's method. Master Liu's head might have been cut off by the hidden thread.

Li Yunlong wanted to reach out and touch the wound, but Shen Yan stopped him: "Don't touch it, Captain, it's poisonous." He quickly withdrew his hand.

"Xiao Shen, do you know who did this?"

Shen Yan nodded: "I roughly guessed it. The leader told the brothers not to touch the body and to search his house. The money and other valuables should be there. The other party probably didn't come for the money."

Li Yunlong ordered a search of each room and found quite a lot of things, including 50,000 silver dollars, 50 small yellow croakers, countless jewelry of all kinds, as well as silver bills and various land deeds.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He then asked everyone to gather in the courtyard and started lecturing again.

"Open your eyes and take a look. This is the rich Liu you have always feared. But today he was beheaded. Now I give you two choices. One is to join me in the Eighth Route Army and take your families with you. The other is that I will leave you some money and you will be obedient citizens of the devils. But if anyone becomes a traitor again, I will never let him go."

"Sir, I'll do it with you," Liu Feng was the first to express his opinion. Most people chose to stay, and only a few people took a few dozen dollars and went home.

Li Yunlong was so happy looking at the people, money and weapons he got on this trip, and he also had the experience of fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land.

At this time, he looked at Zhang Dabiao and asked, "Do you keep your word, kid?"

Zhang Dabiao immediately expressed his stance: "Captain, I will do what you say. I will join the Eighth Route Army. From now on, I will fight wherever you point me to fight."

Then everyone present also picked up their families and rushed to the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment with Li Yunlong. On the way, Li Yunlong asked Shen Yan: "Xiao Shen, who do you think did this to Liu Caizhu's family?"

Shen Yan smiled but didn't say anything. Li Yunlong understood that Shen Yan was not in a position to reveal it, and then asked, "What do you think we should do with this floating wealth? Should we send it back to the brigade headquarters or use it as development funds for our new regiment?"

The New 1st Regiment now has no political commissar, so Li Yunlong is very bold. In addition, he just got the guarantee from the brigade commander, so he wants to seize this batch of floating assets and use it as development funds for the daily purchases of the troops.

Shen Yan asked Li Yunlong: "Captain, do you believe me?"

Li Yunlong glared and said, "Of course I believe you. Tell me what good ideas you have."

Shen Yan lowered his voice and said, "Captain, this floating wealth will stay in our New 1st Regiment for now. If nothing goes wrong, I can get you a batch of arms in a while, but you need to pay for it. I originally wanted to find time to get some money from the Japanese, but now it seems I can save some money."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "Arms are great, how much can we have?"

"Captain, as long as you have money, you can get as much as you want with my method. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Then you'd better find time to get some money from the Japanese. The more the better."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "Captain, you are really greedy!"

"Hey, isn't this because you're afraid of being poor?"

——Inside the Yinghe Tower in Sichuan and Chongqing

The waiter knocked on Liu Wei's door.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Liu Wei leaned against the head of the bed, holding a wine gourd, and looked at him with drunken eyes.

"Boss, someone from the store wants to see you. He said Young Master Shen asked him to bring you something."

"Young Master? Is the person who came here someone from the circle?" Liu Wei asked

The waiter shook his head and said, "His behavior is a bit like that of the person over there." Then he stretched out his hand and made an 8 gesture.

Liu Wei nodded: "Let him come up"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a cotton robe walked into the room: "Excuse me, are you Manager Liu?"

Liu Wei took a sip of wine: "It's me, what can I do for you?"
