"No matter whether this success or failure is successful or not, this Guangzhou can no longer stay..."

Zhou Shen added firmly, and then looked at the faces of these people one by one. This was the last power he could rely on.

They included old pirates who had been strong for many years, fierce and cruel outlaws or lone thieves, as well as death-ridden men and soldiers who had been through battle in the past. Over the years, they had done all the activities of killing and robbing people and destroying their families, and there were also a lot of lives and bloody crimes at their hands.

"The agreement we waited for is over here... It's time to go our separate ways,"

To be honest, he felt a little frustrated in secret; his years of operation and prestige in Guangzhou were not as good as the changes brought about by the "ghost monk" among the thieves in the past few months; whether it was gathering people to farm, opening sea trade, or mining construction; this kind of gradual and open conspiracy method was also the residual resistance forces of their hiding in the dark corners that could not be stopped and confronted.

He can incite those other party’s wealthy families, local gentry, and even the clerks in the village to secretly confront and destroy, the measures to clear the fields and kill the villagers, and even incite the villagers to resist and harass and destroy, and even secretly make people sting their way to deal with those who dare to say that they can live with them, and kill one to warn them.

But it cannot be changed. Once the thief takes this matter seriously, he gathers enough power and attracts enough speech, whether it is open obstruction and resistance, or private fighting and disputes, it no longer has advantages or uses.

Especially the "demon monk" in the tide, following the fierce actions of two states and ten counties against the powerful and wealthy families also set a very bad example and precursor to the thief leaders in the resident places; it also scared many local tyrants who survived the war, the big clans were scared out of their own courage or everyone became in danger. After all, the delaying and procrastination methods in private and unscrupulous confrontation with the open confrontation that might kill the whole family on the surface is completely different.

Especially after the thief reorganized the post roads and checkpoints, he could not even deliver messages from most places, and even secret remote control commands. Instead, many messengers he sent out were unable to come back in just this news. Without the leader who gave them advice behind the scenes and the private support of force, these rich and wealthy families scattered around the other side were like a mess, leaving only some passive means of responding.

Although he could also intimidate and attack those vendors who tried to trade with thieves in cities and towns, using various private cruel means to serve as a warning; but he could not stop the maritime merchants and the great family of the world's merchants from reopening maritime trade. As the saying goes, if you block the way for money and kill your parents, even if you control the money from some of the most humble mud-legged thieves, it is a real money of money.

In fact, when most of the refugees who were displaced in Lingdong due to the war were recruited or forced to be contained by these thieves, they were organized and managed to enter workshops, workshops and mines everywhere. The space and opportunities he and his men could take were greatly reduced, so they could only stay in a corner of Guangzhou City. After all, without enough chaos as a cover, how could they talk about the opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters?

Now even the old clerks are starting to be hard to use; because these thieves actually started to hold lectures in the city, and cultivated and taught their own personnel to gradually replace the old clerks at the bottom of the various places in order to implement various new measures; on the other side, those clerks who were originally not working hard were a little nervous and self-inflicted and afraid of losing their livelihoods, and became somewhat diligent in some matters without delaying and shirking; on the other hand, they also led to a reduction in the source of information in disguise.

After all, it is one thing to be able to rely on the origins of the past to help them provide some information and convenience; but to thrust the unmatched court to fight against the thieves, it is completely different.

Although they can rely on the public Zhong convention that has been passed down for many years, secretly coercive and tempting water grinding methods or set up frame-ups to buy and win over some of them or even a small group of people, they cannot win over and transform hundreds of people into their own sympathizers and objects of cooperation at once.

If they still have this strength and resources, they would not have to condescend to the adventure of strife and attacking in this Guangzhou city, but would directly pull up a group of people to publicly expel and attack these thieves who were invading the territory.

Therefore, Zhou Shen only regretted that he had not discovered and decided to eliminate this seemingly inconspicuous disaster early on; so that he evolved step by step to the current situation, even if he wanted to gain all his wealth and connections, he could no longer recover. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the thief's separatist situation outside the ridge has begun to take shape.

Therefore, even his former superior family and allies had to give up and find a way to leave Canton and avoid it for a while; but although others could easily leave, as the former Japanese official and the central coordinator of various forces, he had too deep connections and bonds with the local area. Even if he was able to escape from the fallen Lingnan land with others in the end, it also meant that he could put up all his foundation and management, and start a new unpredictable future under the strange and remote place;

What's more, those people couldn't wait to go out to sea with their wealth and people without informing them in advance, leaving this dangerous place that was increasingly ineffective; it was not a dissatisfaction and abandonment with his consistent actions.

So he was a little unwilling to give up and wanted to work hard in the last time. At least, he had to make these thieves unable to easily integrate the five Lingnan governments, and always leave a place of restraint and opposition behind. As for the possible casualties and disasters of war, it was also one of the costs of being the people of the Tang Dynasty that they had to contribute to the court.

For this reason, he had secretly changed most of the industries that were still in control and turned into many ready-made goods hidden and ready-made goods; it was only because of the hasty time that many of them were almost at a low price increase that was taken advantage of. Most of them were spent and promised to the remaining people in front of him, if they still had life to survive and enjoy it.

Zhou Shen said in his heart, and then heard a loud shout from the outside world:

"Who."

"No one is needed to serve here, nor are there people asking for wine and food."

"Since you've gone wrong, you might as well get out of here..."

"etc.."

Zhou Shen suddenly felt a sudden heart and ordered the people around him.

"I went out and called the person in, and said I wanted the things I sent, and I would like to give me a reward...and then..."

He gestured to his neck. After all, the arrow was on the string now, and there were only a few hours left before dark. In order to avoid the fact that the crisscross was not bad, this might reveal a flaw.

"The servant was very neat and had already walked away with his stuff after being scolded."

Then, I saw my subordinates come in and reply.

"So my subordinates failed to intercept the person..."

Zhou Shen couldn't help but take a deep breath before resisting the urge to curse. Since he heard that he was about to act for the last time, he left Canton, and these subordinates have begun to slacken to this point. If they need to be of great use right away, I'm afraid he will have a good attack and a good attack.

"Then why don't you clean up Changxing quickly and re-dress and go to another place..."

"It's not like this..."

The former counterfeiter leader, who was nicknamed "Lai Long", couldn't help but mutter.

"We have only been born for a long time, and we have to calm down again..."

"I'll ask the high-ranking official to take a look,"

Seeing that Zhou Shen was about to be erect, another old pirate named "Qi Gong" also winked at him and said slowly.

"These days, I have been traveling around the city, and my brothers have accumulated a lot of fatigue. For the sake of the big things that are not long ago, I'd better give them a little more rest."

"Yes, it's true. I should know the hard work of the officials, but I only need to place the external guards... I will always have to wait for a while and then do it."

Some people also agreed, but it was Li Tong, a general from the front of the yamen.

"Even if I clean up my hands here, it will take some time."

These three represent the respective forces under Zhou Shen. Even the remaining soldiers who were born in his family did not speak much. He had to hesitate and nodded,

“Well…”

Then, he walked into the inner room a few steps and killed all the dying women amid the screams and screams, and vented them. Then, with the bloody smell in the room, he picked up the remaining cold wine and food, and drank it by himself.

Although it tasted like chewing wax, he forced himself to eat and drink well, knowing that his body was hot and his dough gradually became red; and those subordinates also wrapped the bodies and stuffed them under the bed, and wiped the blood-stained furnishings with the torn curtains;

At this time, a few dull clangs suddenly sounded above their heads. These elite men couldn't help but be shocked that they stood up one after another, and rushed to pull out the wrapped and sealed weapons, and acted in a vigilant manner.

Then more clanging sounds like falling, appeared one after another on the roof above them, and then the overwhelmed roof suddenly burst out, and a hot fire ball with large balls of blue smoke fell off. The pungent smoke quickly spread, making people feel extremely breathing in their dizzy chest.

The old bandit Que Gong was even hit by a fireball falling from the head, and sparks splashed all over the body, spreading out, screaming and rolling on the ground and knocking down to ignite many curtains. Only then did Li Tong quickly cut his eyes and let his hands slash him with a hoarse voice.

"It's a poisonous smoke ball..."

"There is an enemy attack..."

"Grand official, be careful..."

Along with these angry shouts, a very short scream came from the outside. It was obvious that the person who was a warning and a whistleblower had already encountered a murderous move.

"Run out, can't stay here anymore..."

The leader of the village named "Lai Long" waved his weapons and rushed outwards first, and then opened the door, and was shot back by invisible force, and he immediately looked up.

"Retreat quickly... Be careful of the crossbow..."

Zhou Shen covered his mouth and nose and shouted loudly.

"Seeking for something to block quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw arrows like locusts, easily breaking through the weak parts of wooden buildings such as doors, windows and railings. He also shot and pierced the furniture and furnishings in the room, and pierced them to the ground.
