Chapter 1794: A Single Spark Can Start a Wildfire

"What guarantees can you provide?"

Chen Li said loudly, "I can guarantee everything that I say. The rebel army does not slaughter the ordinary people at all. You can rest a.s.sured."

Chen Li left some leeway for himself in those words. If someone was not a commoner or was an evildoer, he would definitely not let them off.

After discussing it for a long time, the people atop the city gate opened the door. It let out a creak as it welcomed the rebel army.

Chen Li waved his hand and rode inside the town. Contrary to expectations, there was no joy on his face. Being able to succeed so easily showed that there was nothing of value here.

Ning Shu said with a smile, "This is a good thing. To defeat the enemy without fighting shows that people's hearts favor the insurgents. A single spark can start a wildfire."

Chen Li said helplessly, "I'm afraid there will be no gain this time."

"There are always people in every place who are rich and corrupt, and there is always something to gain from killing them," said Ning Shu.

The mayor of Pingzhen welcomed the pair of Chen brother and sister.

Chen Li saw that the guy had a greasy face and plump body. Furthermore, he was wearing silk satin. Fearing for his life, he had cowardly opened the city gate and surrendered. So, Chen Li wanted to kill him.

Ning Shu stopped Chen Li. He held the spear and said, "Sister, look at him. He must have plundered a lot of the people. Whats the use of leaving such a person alive?"

"Brother, the mayor is already willing to surrender, and he has managed Pingzhen for so long," Ning Shu said, "He is the most suitable person to manage Pingzhen. However, we still need to set an example and scare him."

When dealing with a person like this, if you were strong, he would be loyal to you. As long as you had strength in your fists, he would not dare to have any thoughts of betrayal. Pingzhen was close to Dazhou. Hence, he would not have the b.a.l.l.s to be disobedient.

The more people there were like the mayor of Pingzhen, the easier it would be for them to attack and capture cities.

After pondering for a while, Chen Li called for one of his subordinates. He ordered them to investigate any tyrants in this town by going from house to house to root out those who were rich and unkind, or those who bullied people but did not allow people to speak up.

Chen Li took everyone with him and directly killed these tyrants, in order to let his subordinates get used to the sight of blood. If they didnt do this, they would have traveled this far for nothing.

While at it, they took all the money. At the same time, they announced the crimes of these people to the world.

The fat mayor was so frightened he almost peed his pants at the sight of the Chen family brother and sister. He didn't dare to question Chen Li and Ning Shu. Didn't they say that they wouldnt kill any commoners?

What happened to the trust between people?

The mayor raised his hand to swear that he was loyal to the rebel army. He then took out all the good things in his house. There were almost two full chests of jewels and money.

Chen Li showed his white teeth as he smiled, almost scaring the mayor into tears. He brandished the red ta.s.seled spear in his hand and said, "I hope the mayor can manage the town well. I hope that every household can eat their fill. The mayor should know what to do, right?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, don't worry."

Chen Li and Ning Shu left with the grain and money they had extorted. When they returned to Dazhou City, they bestowed rewards to the people below them.

"Sister, I'll go by myself next time. It's too dangerous for you as a girl," said Chen Li.

Ning Shu shook her head and said, "It's okay."

In current times, it was natural to go to the battlefield. Once the country was established, women would have to squat in their houses again, embroidering and waiting for their husbands.

Generally, when a country was first established, it was the most tolerant time. You had to wisely use this time to fight for some privileges.

Chen Li didn't say anything. He naturally hoped that his sister would be by his side. A single persons ability to plan was limited. With two people, they could bounce ideas off each other. This was good.

After everything was settled, Chen Li went to report to General Liu. General Liu nodded when he heard about how Chen Li handled the situation. "Thats good. Was this your little sister's idea?"

Chen Li let out a smile. He scratched his head and said, "It was Ermei's idea."

"It's a pity that your sister is not a man," said General Liu regretfully.
