Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Spending Money to Avert Misfortune

Rumble~~

At this moment, in the distance, the sound of galloping horses suddenly echoed.

A group of burly men, dressed in tight-fitting outfits, with eyebrows dyed red and faces full of arrogance, rode their steeds towards Osmanthus Village.

They arrived directly in front of the crowd.

Looking down from above, extremely arrogant.

Their gaze on the crowd was akin to looking at ants.

”Red Eyebrow Army?!”

The fishermen were startled upon seeing this group suddenly appear.

They recalled many rumors about the Red Eyebrow Army.

It’s rumored that the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army dyed their eyebrows red intentionally to distinguish their identities.

When numerous soldiers gathered, it was truly terrifying.

”I am Peng Wei, under the command of Bat King Yang Qin.”

”Today, by Lord Yang’s order, I’m here to recruit various villages.”

”I believe everyone has heard of the name of our Red Eyebrow Army.”

”Our mission is to uphold justice and act with chivalry.”

”Currently, the Court is unjust, the Emperor is clueless, extorting the people, harming the citizens, so we are rebelling, vowing to overthrow this corrupt Court and restore justice.”

”So, I hope every villager can contribute money and effort.”

”If the Red Eyebrow Army can overthrow the tyrant’s rule, each villager will enjoy a life of wealth and prosperity.”

This middle-aged man in armor, Peng Wei, riding a tall horse, addressed the crowd.

A terrible Evil Qi emanated from him, as if he was a Martial Artist emerging from a sea of blood.

His power reached the Strong Sinew Realm.

If he acted personally, he might slaughter Osmanthus Village single-handedly.

The fishermen were terrified, trembling before these battle-hardened soldiers.

”Sir, what do you mean by contributing money and effort?”

Village chief Zhang Quan stepped forward, trembling to ask.

He realized the villagers were too frightened to speak.

Only he, as the village chief, dared to inquire.

”Good question.”

”It’s actually simple.”

”The Red Eyebrow Army collects money from your village.”

”Each household pays per person, the more people, the higher the charge.”

”If you can’t pay, we’re not difficult; just join the Red Eyebrow Army and fight with us.”

Peng Wei said with a smile, looking at the crowd.

What?!

The fishermen’s faces changed upon hearing this, it seemed no different from the Dragon King Gang.

They thought life would be better after the Dragon King Gang was destroyed.

Little did they know, it was merely another group extorting them.

If they didn’t pay, they’d probably be conscripted to join the Red Eyebrow Army and fight.

Problem is, once a soldier, who knows when they’d die.

It’s said that every battle of the Red Eyebrow Army had a death rate over fifty percent.

Soldiers were replaced again and again.

Thus, joining the Red Eyebrow Army likely meant becoming cannon fodder.

These soldiers were obviously tough characters.

Daring to refuse might lead to a dead end.

The only option is to lose money to ward off disaster.

”Also, there’s one more thing.”

”Recently, Lord Yang Qin is taking concubines.”

”If you have women at home, and they are beautiful, they can register voluntarily.”

”If chosen by Lord Yang Qin, they’ll have a lifetime of endless riches.”

”I hope everyone can seize this great opportunity.”

Peng Wei said.

Evidently, the Red Eyebrow Army came to recruit women for Bat King Yang Qin besides gathering grains and silver.

Bat King Yang Qin collected beauty wherever he went, satisfying his needs.

”Indeed, a bunch of useless fools.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan frowned.

He didn’t expect the Red Eyebrow Army to be like this, already indulging before capturing the land, such rebels were doomed to fail.

They’d eventually be wiped out by the Court.

Nonetheless, the Red Eyebrow Army’s current power wasn’t to be provoked by ordinary people.

Even if they were defeated, it was uncertain when.

For now, these people could do as they pleased here.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this and had Su Weiwei disguise herself.

Surely, meeting Su Weiwei, they wouldn’t make her serve Bat King Yang Qin.

If they dared, he wouldn’t mind starting a massacre.

”This.”

The fishermen’s faces turned unpleasant upon hearing this; the Red Eyebrow Army demanded money and women, worse than the Dragon King Gang, filling them with anger.

But seeing these soldiers on tall horses, strong and armed, made them cowardly.

In comparison to Martial Artists, ordinary people were far too weak.

”Of course, certainly.”

”The Red Eyebrow Army acts for justice, opposes tyranny.”

”They are saints of the common folk.”

”It’s natural to support them with some wealth.”

”If women in the village catch the eye of the lord, it’s Osmanthus Village’s honor.”

Village chief Zhang Quan nodded humbly.

He chose to compromise.

Making this decision was easy.

Refusing might mean the village’s destruction.

But agreeing only cost some wealth.

At least some could survive.

”Not bad, you’re a good village chief.”

”Understanding the times makes one wise.”

”Each household, register in turn.”

Peng Wei found contentment.

He thought the villagers of Osmanthus Village were gentle, not overly resistant.

This saved him time and effort.

Initially, he thought of killing a few villagers to show the Red Eyebrow Army’s might.

Now it seemed unnecessary.

”Yes, sir.”

Village chief Zhang Quan nodded continuously, quickly calling villagers forward.

Though Osmanthus Village’s fishermen lived tightly, they stored much of the Dragon King Gang’s monthly salary.

Now the Dragon King Gang is gone, the salary hasn’t been submitted.

They thought it might be kept.

But now it’s merely a change in payment recipient.

Such matters were commonplace for fishermen.

They came forward for registration and payment.

Not long after, it was Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei’s turn.

”Lord Peng, here’s my Jiang Family’s money.”

”Right now, only the two of us remain.”

Jiang Fan handed a bag of money to Peng Wei and others.

Su Weiwei stood beside him, visibly nervous.

She had never experienced such a scene before.
