Throwing the gun aside, Yin Yong leaned against a small tree by the side of the street. He felt an irresistible fatigue sweep over him. In less than two minutes, he fell asleep.
Zhao Fei ordered Zhou Zhong and Wu Tao to stand guard beside Yin Yong while he and Qian Jin led their men to clean up the battlefield.
Yin Yong did not sleep for long. In less than half an hour, he woke up to the ending of a nightmare.
"Zhou Zhong, have you finished cleaning up the battlefield?”
"Reporting to the traveler, it's almost over. It's just that there's no time to collect the corpses on the ground!”
"Leave four people behind to guard the corpse. After daybreak, hire the commoners to help bury it. The rest of you will follow me back to the Zhu family courtyard.”
"Yes, Traveler!"
After leaving Chang Ping, Ma Xu, Deng Hao, and Chi Bin to stay behind, Yin Yong escorted the captives and the seized weapons back to the Zhu Family Compound. After locking up the bandits and guards together, Yin Yong and Jiang Cheng entered the Zhu Family Compound's living room on the first floor.
Jiang Cheng served Yin Yong a bowl of strong tea and said with incomparable admiration,"The county head is indeed extraordinary. In a day, he uprooted the Zhu family that has harmed Qijiang for ten years. The county head's resourcefulness and courage are amazing.”
After working hard in the middle of the night, coupled with the high tension in his nerves, Yin Yong, who was feeling thirsty, nodded and took the teacup. He drank all the tea leaves in one breath and sighed before saying,"If it wasn't for Zhizheng's help, how could I have gotten rid of the Zhu family so easily? Today's success is also due to Zhizheng's contribution!”
"This is all thanks to your divine plan, careful deployment, and the lives of your soldiers. How dare I claim credit?”
"If you hadn't helped me and provided me with information, I would have been in the dark in Qijiang. At that time, not only would I not have been able to eradicate the Zhu family, I would have died tragically in the hands of the Zhu family.”Yin Yong smiled and said," Alright, let's not talk about this. Zhizheng, have you counted our battle results?"”
Jiang Cheng immediately opened a small book and said respectfully,"Reporting to the county head, we have seized a total of 347 rifles from the Zhu family, including 265 Old Hanyang rifles, 58 New Type 88 rifles, 4 Mascot machine guns, 19 Mauser twenty-barrel pistols, 15 magazine pistols, 6 revolvers, 14,000 rifle round bullets, 25,000 pointed bullets, 2,400 pistol bullets, 16,480 dollars, 5 kilograms of gold, 150 kilograms of silver, and more than 300 pieces of precious jewelry. There are about 50,000 catties of grain and 1,200 catties of cured meat. After registering these things, I have sent someone to look after them.”After handing the small notebook to Yin Yong, he said,"In addition, we also found an underground treasure room in the Zhu family. Because there were too many gold and silver treasures inside, I was worried that others would have second thoughts about it, so I ordered someone to lock it up and wait for the county head to personally check it!”
"Alright, He Mei, take four people to guard the treasure room. No matter who tries to barge in, kill them without mercy!" Yin Yong nodded and said.”
"Yes, Traveler!" He Mei saluted and led four platoons of soldiers to the treasure room along the road led by Jiang Cheng. They stood guard outside with guns in their hands.
"Zhizheng, once the news of the Zhu Clan being exterminated spreads out tomorrow, I'm worried that someone in the city will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Now, I'll give you six things. First, quickly send people to lock these captives up in prison. You can interrogate them personally. Second, immediately gather all the police officers in the county who have never made any major mistakes. After dawn, have your men lead them to patrol the city and maintain peace. Third, immediately send someone to take over all the properties of the Zhu family in the city. Do not let anyone destroy them. Anyone who dares to resist can be killed. Fourth, order people to write more notices and post them all over the county, informing them of the destruction of the Zhu family. At the same time, inform them that the city gates will be temporarily closed, and ask the people in the city to remain calm and not be instigated by others to cause trouble. All robbers, rapists, and murderers will be shot, and arson, theft, and spreading rumors will be imprisoned and severely punished. Fifth, organize a group of civilians to collect the guards and bandits who were killed after dawn. Sixth, summon all the officials in the city to the county government for a meeting after daybreak.”
"Yes, sir!" Jiang Cheng bent his body and left.
"Zi Shao, take ten men and He Mei to guard the Zhu family. Shou Zheng, store the spoils we brought back in the room. Then, lead the remaining people into five teams to patrol the city and assist Jiang Cheng in maintaining order!”
Zi Shao and Yu Shouzheng immediately saluted.”
After giving his instructions, Yin Yong returned to the county government under the protection of Zhao Fei and the others. The entire courtyard was filled with the pungent smell of blood, making him unwilling to stay for even a moment longer. Even if there was a treasure vault waiting for him underground, he still left without hesitation.
With Yu Shi, a veteran soldier, in the county government, it was naturally foolproof. Moreover, the Zhu family had no chance to attack the county government, so Yin Yong was not worried about Zhou Lan and Liu Jun's safety. However, when Yin Yong walked into the county government, Yu Shi looked at him with a hint of admiration. Liu Xiang naturally knew about the situation in Qijiang, which was close by, so he sent Yu Shi to secretly protect Zhou Lan and Liu Jun. Before leaving, he had also explained the basic situation of Qijiang to Yu Shi so that he could protect Zhou Lan and Liu Jun more properly. Therefore, Yu Shi was more familiar with the situation of the Zhu family. In his opinion, if he wanted to destroy the Zhu family openly, he had to send a group of soldiers. Even a sneak attack would require a battalion of soldiers and horses, yet Yin Yong had only used half a company to wipe out the Zhu Clan. Even Yu Shi, who had always been conceited, sighed at his inferiority. Soldiers admired and respected the strong the most, and Yin Yong's performance in one night had quickly earned the admiration and respect of Yu Shi and his 200 men.
Yin Yong was not worried about the safety of the county government, but there were two people in the county government, two beautiful women, who were constantly worried about him. After Yin Yong left, neither of them went back to their rooms. The two sisters sat together without saying a word. When gunshots rang out in the city, the two of them could not help but look worriedly at the place where the gunshots came from...
After knowing that Yin Yong had returned safely, Zhou Lan threw herself into Yin Yong's arms without caring about her image. Liu Jun also walked forward with a concerned expression, but she did not throw herself into Yin Yong's arms as boldly as Zhou Lan. Zhao Fei, Yu Shi, Yu Xiu, Liu Jun's servant girl called Yun Xue, and the others hurriedly retreated when they saw this. They even helped the person inside close the door.
Yin Yong gently hugged Zhou Lan and said gently,""I'm sorry for making you worry…"
Zhou Lan shook her head desperately. Her jade-like hands kept searching Yin Yong's body, as if she wanted to see if he was hurt.
Liu Jun did not deny that she was worried. She said softly," It's good that Big Brother Yin has returned safely…"
Yin Yong carried Zhou Lan, who looked like a koala bear, to the sofa and sat down. Looking at the tired Zhou Lan and Liu Jun, he could not help but feel his heart ache. He gently rubbed Zhou Lan's head and said,"The situation in the city has been largely resolved. There won't be any danger. It's already four o'clock and the sky is about to brighten.”
Zhou Lan shook her head like a rattle-drum. Liu Jun also said that she could not fall asleep.
"If a girl doesn't have a good night's rest, she will age very quickly!" Yin Yong said. If you don't rest well, others will misunderstand that we're mother and son when we go out together in the future…"
Zhou Lan gently patted Yin Yong's head and spat. She then got up from Yin Yong's body and held Liu Jun's hand."Cousin, let's go rest. He's been tired for the whole night. Let him rest for a while!”
Liu Jun gently nodded her head and softly advised Yin Yong to take a nap before dawn. She followed Zhou Lan out and immediately, Liu Jun's gentle voice came from outside the door,"" Cousin, I'm very scared. Can I sleep with you today…"
"Sure, I can't sleep either. Let's sleep in the same room, and you can talk to me!”
After Yin Yong watched the two of them leave, he called Zhao Fei and the others in and asked them to check their ammunition. Then, he spent four energy points to replenish their ammunition.
After the ammunition was replenished, Rui 'er, who had been silent for many days, reminded Yin Yong. Due to the uniqueness of the Bio-Humans and their weapons, Yin Yong could set them to replenish their ammunition automatically from her. In other words, as long as Yin Yong had enough energy points, they could receive ammunition at any time without Yin Yong's hand. This meant that they had unlimited firepower output. Yin Yong immediately chose the setting. This way, he would not have to waste time replenishing ammunition for Zhao Fei and the others in the future.
At the same time, Rui 'er also told Yin Yong a piece of good news. In the battle that night, Yin Yong had killed 327 enemies and captured 419 enemies (including their families). He had received a total of 795 energy points from killing, injuring, and capturing enemies. He had also received 26 energy points from detaining 26 criminal police officers. As of now, he had a total of 1,117 energy points.
Looking at the energy points that had finally returned to four digits, Yin Yong was so excited that he could not fall asleep.
The next morning, when the commoners walked out of their homes in trepidation, they found out that the Zhu family, who had harmed them for many years, had been reduced to ashes by last night's gunshots. There was no need to say much about their excitement and excitement. On this day, the happiest people in Qijiang City were the owners of the firecracker shops in the city. In the past, even during the new year, their business was very cold. They could not sell many firecrackers all year round. This was not surprising. With a scourge like the Zhu family around, the new year really became a 'pass'. How could they have the mood and money to buy firecrackers to celebrate the new year? However, on this day, the citizens of the entire city rummaged through their chests and cabinets to find the last copper coins. They excitedly ran to the firecracker shop to buy a string of firecrackers and lit them on the streets. The continuous " pa, pa, pa " sounds sounded as if Qijiang was experiencing a great battle! In less than two hours, the firecrackers that had been stored in the firecracker shop for many years were sold out. Of course, this was also due to the fact that the firecracker shop owner had taken the initiative to lower the price. Generally speaking, when merchants encountered such a situation, the price of the goods in their hands would rise. However, this time, not only did they not raise the price, but they also lowered the price by a lot. They even took out many scattered firecrackers to give to children to play with. It could be seen that the owners of these firecracker shops had suffered from the Zhu family's oppression in the past and were also cheering for the fall of the Zhu family. This action also won them the respect of the common people.
Compared to the common people, the officials had more timely and detailed information. Those officials who only knew how to follow Zhu Kun around in the past were greatly shocked when they learned that the new county head had wiped out the Zhu family, killed hundreds of people including Zhu Hao, Zhu Chang, and Zhu Yi, and captured hundreds of people including Zhu Kun, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Ying. Some people secretly called him a butcher, while others knew that the Zhu family had been defeated, so they immediately made up their minds to hug Yin Yong's thigh. Some of them had done many evil deeds with the Zhu family, and were very worried that Yin Yong would settle the score with them. Thus, they felt a feeling called the fox grieving for the death of the rabbit…
No matter what they thought, after learning that the new county head had summoned them, they did not dare to be negligent at all. Almost everyone jogged all the way to the county.
