A very rough public trial lasted from morning to evening.

From the beginning, the fishermen were timid and distrustful. After Zhou Yan killed several people and maimed several others and committed serious crimes, the fishermen gradually let down their guard and began to participate, and their enthusiasm was high again and again.

In this public trial, excluding Wang Qianchi, the thirty-one senior Bone Tempering Realm executives, and the rest of the Qi and Blood Realm disciples were all judged by the fishermen.

The results of the public trial were also shocking.

Among these more than 300 disciples, more than 200 have committed evil deeds in the villages of Xuanyue Lake, including but not limited to raping and molesting women, maiming others, extorting money, beating, scolding and insulting, etc.

Facts prove.

A nest of snakes and rats, this statement is true.

When Shahemen was prosperous, it controlled river transportation and docks, controlled people's livelihood, and exploited the working people. It was not a good thing in the first place.

After arriving in Yizhou, the situation intensified and the exploitation became even more severe.

What do they exploit?

force!

Violence!

brutal!

kill!

fear!

Shahemen relies on these to suppress dozens of villages and two to three thousand fishermen's households in Xuanyue Lake.

Shahemen is like a big dyeing vat. As long as you come in and enter, how many people can come out of the mud without being dyed?

Even among those who are not identified and exposed, there are only a very small number of them who are good-natured, and most of them just have no chance to commit evil for the time being.

But the deeds do not matter the heart.

In this case, they really did not commit evil. Regardless of whether they were good or evil by nature when they joined Shahe Sect, Zhou Yan just dispersed their energy and blood, abolished their martial arts, and made them unable to practice martial arts and do evil.

I don't care about them being driven down the mountain.

others.

Regardless of whether they were big or small evildoers, Zhou Yan did not kill many. After killing only a few to establish their authority and gain trust, he broke off the limbs of the others and threw them in one place. He would then deal with them at his own discretion.

This time.

The public trial meeting could have been further expanded. For example, among these fishermen were bad lackeys who used to rely on Shahemen to oppress and exploit other fishermen.

But Zhou Yan's time is precious and he doesn't want to waste it on this.

Furthermore, Shahemen has already been taken over by him. These losers have no backing. If the other fishermen cannot unite to resist, Zhou Yan's efforts will be in vain.

In the final analysis.

After all, people still have to be self-reliant and self-reliant to save themselves.

…

After the public trial.

Zhou Yan asked all the fishermen who had been excited all day to go down the mountain, and asked the cooks, servants, maids, and family members to go down as well. Only he and the 264 Shahemen who had been tried and headed by Wang Qianchi were left on the mountain.

middle man.

At this time, apart from Zhou Yan, there were only seven bastards who had been under his command on the mountain who still had their legs and feet intact.

Zhou Yan asked four of the losers to cook, asked two of the losers to guard Wang Qianchi and others in the martial arts arena, and then asked the last loser to take him to the important places on Zhaixing Mountain and Shahe Gate.

Shahemen has occupied Xuanyue Lake and exploited fishermen for eight years. It can support hundreds of people and disciples, so the family must be extremely rich.

Zhou Yan walked through the warehouses and saw a lot of grain, salt, tea, etc., which were bulk goods. He also saw weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

But there is very little cash such as gold and silver.

This does not match the size of Shahemen.

When Zhou Yan raided bandit dens like Wuhu Village, he got four thousand taels of silver and dozens of taels of gold.

"That's not the case at Shahemen!"

Zhou Yan frowned.

In his memory, Nanjing didn't seem to have any bank accounts. Most of the bank transactions were in cash.

"Maybe it's hidden."

Zhou Yan thought to himself and went to visit the residences of Wang Qianchi, Wang Zhi, Wang Rong, Feng Qun and other senior Shahemen officials.

This time, I did find some money, which totaled about 2,400 taels. As the top brass of Shahemen, everyone was indeed very fat.

But it's certainly not the big deal.

There must be gold and silver hidden somewhere in Shahemen.

However, after Zhou Yan found something from Wang Qianchi, his attention was immediately diverted.

…

boom!

There was an explosion and smoke filled the air.

In the Loyalty Hall, Zhou Yan was playing with the flintlock pistol, feeling strange in his heart.

This is a 'flintlock pistol' with a total length of 37 centimeters, of which the barrel is 21 centimeters long.

Smoothbore barrel.

15mm diameter.

The butt is made of walnut wood.

It can be seen that its production process is still very rough, and its technical level is also very backward, which is about the level of the previous earth around the 18th century.

Not considered advanced.

But for Nanjing, who was still in the era of cold weapons, this flintlock pistol was enough to take the lead.

Moreover, this pistol obviously did not come from Dashu in the north or Weiguo in the west, because whether it was Dashu, Weiguo or Nanjing, they all came from a unified country dozens or hundreds of years ago, and were used by various countries.

The text is also very similar.

The words engraved on this flintlock pistol are more like English and Latin in the previous life, like ghostly symbols.

It's obviously an imported product.

I just don’t know where it came from.

"Master Wang."

Zhou Yan looked at Wang Qianchi who was carried in, shook the flintlock pistol in his hand, and asked, "Where did this gun come from?"

"gun?"

Wang Qianchi was startled. He didn't know that this thing was called a 'gun'. But he was an old man, and he didn't show any marks on his face. He just shook his head and said: "I got it from a trader just for a novelty, and its power is average."

, the operation is also complicated and of little use.”

Compared to bone-tempering masters like Wang Qianchi, they really looked down on this type of flintlock pistol.

Within seven steps, his punches are fast!

Seven steps away, his punches are still fast!

Even ordinary people who have just entered the Bone Tempering Realm, or even third-blood warriors, can already withstand the bullets shot by such pistols with their body speed.

To say it is tasteless is not an exaggeration.

Zhou Yan loaded the 'sub-panel' and relied on the passivity of telekinesis to detect the truth or falsehood of Wang Qianchi's words. But facing the peak of the Bone Tempering Realm and the old world, this passivity was not very effective.

"peddler--"

Zhou Yan was noncommittal, and then asked: "Where is the silver of Shahemen hidden?"

"Shahe Sect has many disciples, and it looks majestic. But in fact, people eat horse chews, how can they gain any money!"

Wang Qianchi smiled bitterly.

"Chen Ah Shui, who is Chu Xiaoer?"

Zhou Yan asked again.

"They are fishermen at the foot of the mountain. They secretly learned my Shahemen martial arts. The first one was caught and executed, and the second one escaped."

Wang Qianchi seemed to answer all questions.

But Zhou Yan's patience ran out: "What kind of martial arts did you steal? The Nine Sun Magic Kung Fu? Why do you think that a mere fisherman who secretly learned your Shahemen martial arts can hire a master like Ye?!"

Wang Qianchi's telekinesis was useless in front of such a person, but Zhou Yan still had brains.

He is not stupid.

Wang Qianchi was still fighting with him at this moment, but Zhou Yan didn't have that patience.
