Lin Dong glanced at all the powerful people in the pass and said in a faint voice,"The meeting will begin now."
The hall was silent.
Lin Dong cleared his throat and said indifferently,"Today, I have invited everyone here for only one purpose-to submit. Whose submission to whom? Your submission to me. Submit to His Majesty the Emperor."
All the underworld tycoons expressed their loyalty.
"I'm willing to listen to the supervisor's orders."
Vaguely, Lin Dong had already unified most of the underworld in Guanzhong.
Lin Dong continued,"Recently, the entire Great Tang has been in chaos. Thieves who have appeared out of nowhere are wreaking havoc everywhere. It's making me very annoyed."
"I've estimated that there have been people causing trouble and burning houses in Chang 'an every day. They were all spies. They were like cockroaches and rats, hiding in dark corners. I don't have the ability. They didn't have enough manpower to clean up these spies.”
Lin Dong continued,"Therefore, I have invited all of you here because I hope that all of you will listen to my orders and absolutely obey them. Help me get rid of these disgusting spies.”
Boss Jia was the first to agree and said respectfully,""I, Jia Liang, am willing to go through fire and water for the superintendent. Even if you want me to kill a Turkic Khagan, I'll do it.”
The surrounding underworld tyrants also expressed their willingness to submit to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and obey their orders.
"The Turkic spy has gone too far. I, Shan Hu, am irreconcilable with him.”
"We swear to kill all the spies of the various countries.”
"How dare the Turks be so arrogant?”
。。。。。。。
。。。。。。
。。。。
The underworld tyrants cursed endlessly, as if those spies were their enemies who killed their fathers.
Lin Dong also knew that they were forced by him and were not willing to do so.
But he didn't care.
It was said that a melon that was forcefully twisted was not sweet. However, Lin Dong did not care if it was sweet or not. All he wanted to do was to twist it down.
After forcefully taming these underworld tycoons.
Lin Dong once again began to speak to those wealthy merchants,
"From tomorrow onwards, the Great Tang Imperial Court will be transferring your pay and provisions. Don't worry, as long as the Great Tang isn't destroyed, we will return the favor.”
The merchants looked at each other.
The last wealthy businessman who was quite bold asked,
"I wonder how much interest the Imperial Court can pay for the army's pay and provisions?”
After all, these merchants placed profit first.
He asked how much interest he could pay.
Lin Dong smiled,"Don't worry, the Embroidered Uniform Guards will not be stingy." The interest will exceed your imagination."
Every time all the rich merchants smile, their eyes open
"That's easy to say. Please give us a specific number.”
Lin Dong indifferently said,"The interest is that if you lend the money, rations, and military pay to the Imperial Court, I guarantee that your heads will still be hanging around your necks and your wives and children will not become prostitutes. How about that?"”
The smiles on the faces of the wealthy merchants all froze.
Lin Dong's overbearing manner caught them off guard.
Many wealthy businessmen lowered their heads and did not speak.
Each and every one of them was a miser, stingy.
Lin Dong faintly said,"Since you are unwilling to agree. From tomorrow onwards, they would start to raid every house. All the family property was confiscated. Sell the land and use it as military pay."
"How can this be?"
"Supervisor, you can't do anything rash.”
"Supervisor, I can report you if you mess around like this.”
These wealthy merchants seemed to have their own backgrounds and were not afraid of Lin Dong like the underworld tycoons.
A wealthy businessman even pointed at Lin Dong's nose and scolded,
"Do you know that Minister of War Hou Junji holds half of my business? If you dare to steal my business, try it.”
Lin Dong remained seated as he coldly laughed.
"Then do you know that before I was the Viceroy of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, I killed Hou Junji's son?”
After saying that, Lin Dong snapped his fingers.
This was a gesture to order the Embroidered Uniform Guards to arrest someone.
The three Brocade Guards rushed over and pressed the merchant to the ground.
"You can't kill me!" The merchant shouted in horror. I'm Lord Hou's disciple, you can't kill me.”
Su Lie cupped his fists and asked,"Supervisor, how should we deal with this?"”
"Chop it down."
One of the Brocade Guard pulled out his Embroidered Spring Knife and slashed at the merchant's neck.
The sound of the knife cutting the bones made everyone shudder.
The merchant's head rolled far away, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
The other wealthy merchants were so scared that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to speak anymore.
Lin Dong indifferently said,"Tomorrow, we will confiscate this person's house on the charge of treason and store all his assets into the treasury." His children were sold as slaves. Let's see if Hou Junji dares to interfere."
"Yes, sir."
" Ugh!" A wealthy businessman was so terrified that his stomach cramped and he threw up his breakfast.
He quickly realized that he had been rude and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Spare me, superintendent. I didn't do it on purpose.”
"I'll spare your life, but I'll punish you with five hundred thousand strings of money, which will be stored in the treasury."”
"Thank you for your mercy, Governor." The merchant kowtowed in gratitude.
Lin Dong asked the other wealthy merchants,
"Who else is a disciple of a court official? Our Jinyiwei has been very free recently, so we don't mind killing a few more.”
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. We will do our best for the Imperial Court until we die.”
Then, all the wealthy businessmen began to donate.
"I'm willing to lend the Imperial Court 1,000,000 strings of coins and donate 200,000 strings of coins for free.”
"I am willing to lend 500 horses to the Imperial Court and donate 60 horses for free.”
"I'm willing to lend the Imperial Court 100,000 dans of grain and also donate 10,000 dans of grain for free.”
。。。。。。
。。。。
。。。

All of them were so frightened by Lin Dong's lightning quick and bloody methods that they knelt down.
