The so-called owner is a person who sells stolen goods for the pirates. The pirates are at sea all year round and they have no time to operate on the shore, but the goods they obtain at sea need to be sold, supplies on land, and even rest on land, which requires special people to handle.

In fact, it is not surprising. The big salt owl buys and sells private salt. If you want to distribute it in the countryside, you must rely on the rich people in the countryside. The same is true for the rich people near the seaside to do such things for the pirates, but they just have the title of a lord.

Of course, landlords who make a living in farming and textile may not have the courage to do such things. Those who can do their homeowners have some people who dare to fight and fight, and domineering local tyrants.

Originally, there was no such thing as a resident in Songjiang Mansion, or the biggest resident was the Xu family. Legal and illegal activities could not be done without the Xu family.

After the destruction of the Xu family, Songjiang Prefecture, which was originally unscathed, became leaking everywhere, and all forces emerged one after another. However, Sanjiang Trading Company and Nanjing Jinyiwei also intervened, and it was difficult to grow bigger.

The big ones can't sit up, and the small ones still have space. The Cao family is the best one. The Cao family brothers were the three of them. They originally built a village for a Xu family. This village is close to the beach and occasionally has something to do with the pirates.

When the Xu family collapsed, the Cao family plundered the property in the farm, recruited dozens of people from the guards and the guards who had nowhere to go after the Xu family was destroyed, and contacted the old pirates, and started to act as the owner of this nest.

It is rare that they are familiar with the local area, and they know all the officials from the government office and the county office, so they are very comfortable to do such a homeowner's business.

When the business started, it colluded with the pirates, and the power expanded. The rascals and scoundrels from all over the Songjiang Prefecture came to surrender. If there was anything that was not good, the desperate people among the pirates were willing to solve it. This made a name for himself and he firmly settled his foundation.

Now the three brothers of the Cao family say something in the county town, which is much more useful than the county magistrate. With a shout, there are still two hundred men from around the world, and dozens of them are carrying murders on their backs.

Those who cheat, engage in gambling, engage in prostitution, and do all kinds of illegal activities in the city, and those who want to make money here must go to the Cao family to sign up and pay some money before they can stay away.

After Wang Tong came to Songjiang Mansion, the Cao family knew who was older and younger, so they immediately became peaceful. However, the business they should do did not stop. According to the Cao family's idea, the Duke of Liao came to Jiangnan to enjoy his fortune and supervised the opening of Songjiang ports. The big guys do things for big guys, and the small guys do business for small guys, and no one delayed them. Could it be that a big guy like the Duke would care about dice shops and local prostitutes, and whether they would care about small profits brought by pirates.

When the gate was knocked open, the Cao family was not even prepared. The people in the yard were panicked. It was not uncommon for bandits and officers to rush into the city to sweep them. However, they would attack small households, and try not to touch such high-walled households.

The high-walled courtyard has more oil and water, but the guards of the high-walled courtyard also have weapons, and they don’t know what forces or big men are involved behind them. They are just to make money and there is no need to make a bloody head on it. Therefore, whenever there is a turmoil in the city, the wealthy families are relatively safe. The Cao family also thinks the same, but they also prepare their own village heroes and hold the door with things.

However, they did not expect that Shadongning's method of breaking the gate was a means used to break the village in the field. He used the tied thick wood to nail it on the cart to make a siege.

More than a dozen people worked together to push the siege to hit the gate. The Cao family's gate was rushed to hold it up with wood, and there was no way to stop it.

After a few bangs, I heard the screams inside and the sound of "clicking" of wood breaking, and the door was directly knocked open.

The male lion and the rabbit are the ones Wang Tong has always been instructing the people below. Even if it is a small battle like suppressing thieves, he must show that kind of cautious attitude towards large-scale combat.

This cautious attitude has played a great role in the battle to break the door. Several shields have been erected when they hit the door.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was knocked open, he heard a few jingles and several arrows shot onto the shield. Wang Tong's personal guard scolded him and rushed in directly with the shield as a cover.

The yard is not small, but it is not too big for the battlefield. After shooting an arrow, I was already panicked when I saw someone rushing in with a shield. As soon as the second arrow was placed on the bow, the other party rushed to the front, and was in a hurry and could no longer be accurate.

A group of brave men from the village and rogues were able to talk about the courage. Seeing Wang Tong's personal soldiers rush in with fierce spirit, they were already panicked.

Among these people, those who are archers are just trying to stand behind and shoot arrows without having to fight. When they saw the opponent's spear and big sword rushing toward each other, a few people threw down their bows and arrows and ran away.

The battle in the Cao family compound was only about swords, guns, swords and halberds. When everything became simple, how could the Cao family's mobs compare with the elites such as Wang Tong's personal guards.

There were noise in the county town, and the common people were worried, but when they heard the fighting outside, they did not affect their own family, the fear in their hearts gradually turned into surprise.

On this day, the owner of the pirates in the city, the domineering gangsters in the city, and the bastards who gathered to attract prostitution were all wiped out.

This is the case inside the city, and outside the city. A team of artillery soldiers and sailors on the gunboats, led by local spies, wiped out the nests that were doing illegal activities outside the city, and two temples were also taken over.

Dozens of people were killed in the city and hundreds of people were arrested. Nearly two hundred people were arrested in the Duke of Liao. The county jail could not accommodate so many prisoners, so it had to use the two cleared temples and keep the captured prisoners there.

When it was dark, someone reported along the street that the people could go out. At this time, the people were also afraid, but more of them were curious. Someone who was neighbors with evil people, listened to the neighbor's screams and begged for mercy, and he didn't want to help, but he secretly felt that he was very happy.

After leaving, neighbors and neighbors inquire about each other and knew that those who were doing bad things in the county had been arrested, and some evil people were killed on the spot because of resistance, which made them quite happy.

Not only the common people felt happy, but even the gentry in the city felt that it was good, some were doing things wrong and some were passed on their duties. These people were not responsible for the nonsense in the city, but the government not only ignored them, but also colluded with them. Although the common people and small households were suffering, the wealthy and gentry were even more influential and the losses were even greater.

Since the Xu family was destroyed, there have been no decent relatives of officials in Songjiang Prefecture. At most, the level of greetings on the official side is to go to the prefect. However, the Songjiang Prefecture has benefited from these things and no one will seriously take care of them. As a result, it has been delayed until now.

It is difficult to leave the hometown, and the gentry mainly relies on local farms and cloth behaviors to live. If you leave the local area, your family business cannot be maintained and you cannot walk around. Staying in the local area can only be like this again. It is really a dilemma.

They had no hope for Wang Tong's arrival. The Duke of Liao was a martial artist and a god of killing. If he came, he would not harm everyone twice as much as possible. He would also expect him to appease the place.

Unexpectedly, the Duke of Liao really did it, using thunder means, which means that in just one day, the monsters and monsters inside and outside the city were wiped out.

This is not all. It is really awesome to be arrested in the city and outside the city. This person does not know how to maintain the place, but instead colludes with traitors and bandits to harm the people. He has long been hated by others and captured the thieves below. If these traitors do not arrest them, they will sooner or later raise disasters.

After this incident, it was not a big problem for twenty years to be peaceful inside and outside the county town. However, although the Duke of Liao was decisive, he was an outsider after all, and some people arrested him wrongly.

For example, the two temples outside the city should have been arrested by mistake. The monks in those two temples never do evil. Although they are a little greedy, the monks in the world are like this. Let's join hands to ask the Duke of Liao and let the monks go, otherwise, this disrespect for gods and Buddhas will also be harmful to the local area.

That night, the county magistrate, county magistrate and two inspectors were released. Looking at the officials' faces, everyone could probably guess what was going on.

Almost 60% of those who are in charge are innocent. This innocent means a lot of small mistakes, but they are not allowed to be arrested and questioned. After warning, they will be released. But it is hard to say how much 40% of them are.

The county government was brightly lit that night, and the magistrate tried the case overnight. Needless to say, those who were involved in the lawsuit in the city were collusion with human life, and there was also collusion between officials and bandits, and invading people's wealth, etc., they were all convicted and imprisoned quickly, and they dared not be ambiguous. All the documents for the judgment must be done that night, and confessions and concealments must be done well, and they will be sent to the Duke of Liao tomorrow.

Everyone knows the official position that cannot be saved, but they must do it according to the Duke of Liao. Otherwise, even their lives may not be guaranteed. Everyone has a very good idea.

The next day, Wang Tong's letter was sent to Songjiang Prefecture City and briefly explained to the prefect of Songjiang. The letter said it very clearly, if you don't do it, then I will do it.

After seeing this, coupled with the various news coming from there, the Songjiang Prefecture was shocked and the various counties in Songjiang Prefecture were also shocked and began to purify and arrest people.
