The new county magistrate sent by Nicholas Tu was called Benny.
He was a direct subordinate of Nicholas Tu.
It was because of his relationship with Nicholas Tu that he was able to become county magistrate. Benny originally thought that he was lucky to come to Fushan County, especially when he heard that everything was developing well in Fushan County. This was a great opportunity for him.
He could use Fushan County to make contributions.
He didn't expect to be robbed and killed before he even reached Fushan County.
Benny's face was filled with apprehension as he said, "Everyone, what are you doing? If there's anything, we can discuss it. There's no need to fight. "
Du Qi chuckled. "Today, we're here to kill you."
Benny asked, "Why do you want to kill me?"
After a pause, Benny said, "I'm the new county magistrate of Fushan County. After I take office, I'll be in charge of Fushan County. As long as you don't kill me and let me take office, I'll do anything. I'm willing to give you any benefits. As long as I can give, I'm willing. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "I just want to stop you and prevent you from taking the position. How can I not kill you?"
Benny said, "You're here to kill me under the orders of Fushan County's acting county magistrate, Meng Jiuyou. Everyone, I can give you whatever Meng Jiuyou can give you. In fact, I'll give you double. "
Du Qi said, "Go on. I'd like to see what you can say."
Benny said, "Especially if you kill me, you'll offend Prefecture Chief Nicholas Tu. I'm Lord Nicholas Tu's trusted aide. He sent me to Fushan County to let me take control of it and make it under his command. But now, you want to kill me. You're offending Lord Nicholas Tu! "
Du Qi smiled. "So what if we offend Nicholas Tu?"
Benny said, "In Songyang County, Lord Nicholas Tu is the local tyrant. Now that the imperial court is in decline and the world is in chaos, the local officials are even more powerful. Offending Lord Nicholas Tu now is an extremely unwise decision. "
After a pause, Benny continued, "Sir, your loyalty to Meng Jiuyou is useless. Instead of working with Meng Jiuyou, why not work with me? Meng Jiu You didn't have anyone backing him up. But I'm different. Behind me is Lord Nicholas Tu. Even Lord Nicholas Tu has an important minister behind him. "
"This is Lord Nicholas Tu's strength."
"This is a very simple principle."
"You are also seeking a living, in order to obtain benefits. Since that's the case, why refuse even more benefits? "
Benny's words were bewitching as he said, "Everyone, I've already explained the simplest reason. Now that you have the opportunity to climb up the social ladder, why do you still want to continue working for Meng Jiu You? "
But Du Qi said, "How's Nicholas Butcher's strength now?"
This was Du Qi's goal.
Through killing Benny, he could use this opportunity to probe Nicholas Butcher's strength. After all, you, Nicholas, are not weak. Although Du Qi wasn't afraid of Nicholas Tu, he could understand the situation in advance.
When Benny heard Du Qi's words, he immediately became excited.
There's hope!
He still had a chance to survive!
Benny said, "His Excellency Nicholas Tu is extremely strong. Lord Nicholas Tu has a total of ten thousand men under his command, and they are all elites. Apart from that, all the firearms are ready. Once Lord Nicholas Tu really mobilizes his troops, even if there are many bandits in the entire Songyang County, they are no match for Lord Nicholas Tu. "
"Hahaha …"
When Du Qi heard this, he laughed out loud.
His laughter was full of disdain.
His laughter was full of mockery.
Benny said, "What are you laughing at?"
Du Qi said, "It's impossible for a mere ten thousand men to wipe out the entire Songyang County. Besides, if Nicholas Tu really has the strength to wipe out the bandits, why would he leave them alive? "
Benny smiled embarrassedly.
There were many bandits in Songyang County, and they were very difficult to deal with.
It was impossible for Nicholas Tu to wipe out the bandits.
Du Qi said, "If that's all you have, then you can only die."
Benny said, "What's in it for you if you kill me?"
Du Qi said, "Because Fushan County is under my control. Fushan County is my Fushan County, and it can't belong to Nicholas Tu of Songyang County. "
Benny's eyes widened. "You're Meng Jiuyou?"
Du Qi said, "Of course not!"
He had a rough understanding of Nicholas Tu's situation, so he didn't say anything else. The soldiers beside him stepped forward and stabbed. With a squelch, the tip of the sword pierced Nicholas Tu's heart and went through his chest.
The sword was pulled out, and blood splattered.
Benny fell to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His face was filled with pain.
Why?
Why did he kill him?
He couldn't accept it!
However, Benny felt his vision gradually dim. In the blink of an eye, endless darkness had swallowed his consciousness.
All his consciousness dissipated.
Du Qi ordered, "Mordor, burn all the corpses. We'll withdraw."
"Yes!"
Mordor led the soldiers forward and quickly piled up all the corpses. Then, they brought over some firewood and poured some kerosene on it. As the fire was lit, all the corpses burned.
The fire burned and swallowed all the corpses.
The group didn't stay any longer and quickly returned to Fushan County.
As they neared the county town of Fushan County, the group slowed down.
Mordor followed beside Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, Songyang County only has about ten thousand soldiers. This group of people is no match for us. Since that's the case, why don't we take over Songyang County and kill Nicholas Tu? "
Du Qi shook his head. "It's not suitable because we don't have the strength to do so. We just established ourselves in Fushan County, so it's not a problem to take over Songyang County. However, we don't have enough people here, so it's difficult to govern Songyang County. Therefore, we don't have the opportunity to take over Songyang County for now. Of course, there's another important reason. "
Mordor asked, "What's the reason?"
Du Qi said, "The most important reason is that although Great Qin doesn't have enough local control, it still has the overall strength. In particular, the local forces are very strong. It's quite dangerous for us to openly rebel. For now, we need to stabilize and develop. Let Great Qin fall into chaos for a while before we send our troops. "
Mordor nodded.
However, he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
He had fought for a while today, but it wasn't satisfying enough. It would be great if they could start a war.
The group of people hurried back. In a short time, they arrived at the city gate of the county.
Meng Jiuyou was already waiting at the gate.
When Meng Jiuyou saw Du Qi's group return, he said, "Young Master, you're finally back. How's the situation?"
