"Sir, there was another woman crying on the high platform outside the palace today. Many houses in the county government office were smashed. The public's anger can hardly be suppressed!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Shi Liangcai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and paced back and forth anxiously.

"It shouldn't be. Why didn't Mr. Wu An react? We used so many methods, why did he act like he didn't see it?"

"Is it because he is young and energetic and is still holding on?"

"Public opinion is raging. If he doesn't play well, he will make things worse, which is not good for everyone!"

"He is using public opinion to force us to submit. If that doesn't work... let's just give in..."

"Yes, the yellow-haired kid can't control the heat. If he incites it too much and stabs him, it will be difficult for everyone to explain."

"That's right, let's take a step back. I believe Mr. Wu An is also a person who understands the general picture..."

In the low-pitched discussion, everyone quickly came to a consensus, but before they could send out their greetings, a subordinate rushed into the room in panic.

"My lord! My lord! It's not good! It's not good!"

"Hurry up! How can you behave properly!?"

Swinging his sleeves fiercely, Shi Liangcai roared dissatisfied.

"Wu...Wu Anjun pulled General Pang and others to the lakeside, preparing to behead them in public!"

"What?!!"

Everyone burst into laughter, eyes as wide as bells, looking at him in disbelief.

"Impossible! What good will it do him to break up with us?"

Shi Liangcai slumped down on the chair as if he had lost all strength. Shi Liangcai muttered to himself with dull eyes.

"Sir, now is not the time to pursue these matters. We have to stop that guy quickly!"

A subordinate beside him couldn't help but help him up. Only then did Shi Liangcai react and led the officials angrily straight out of the city.

On the temporarily built high platform, Zhao Yinshun looked at the boundless sparkling waves, his eyes reflecting the flickering brilliance.

Behind him, tens of thousands of angry people threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at the escorted criminals, beating them to a miserable state.

"Sir, this is the final list."

Beside him, Tang Hongda respectfully handed a thick and detailed list to Zhao Yinshun, and at the same time gave him a concise summary of the report.

"A total of 2,391 people were directly involved in the crime and were sentenced to death!"

"Another 1,979 people took the initiative to confess and cooperated with the investigation. The circumstances were relatively minor and they were sentenced to life-long hard labor!"

"Only 422 people were not involved in the crime from beginning to end. According to your instructions, those who did not want to stay were given severance pay and left. In the end, only 271 people insisted on staying."

While listening to the report and looking through the list, Zhao Yinshun sighed helplessly.

I thought I could take over a man of ten thousand men with poor quality, but in the end there were only 271 available men left...

Judging from this the quality of the entire Damin army, it is a medical miracle that the empire can survive until now!

After closing the list fiercely, Zhao Yinshun looked at Pang Jue and the others, whose muscles and bones were broken and dragged to the lake like dead dogs, with piercing murderous intent in their eyes.

A bunch of useless feudal beetles!

Pang Jue, whose face was full of vegetables and rotten eggs, also saw the young man in white on the high platform. His eyes looked down on the earth like a god, and his cold gaze was like a steel knife scraping across their necks.

It was only then that Pang Jue finally realized that this terrible Lord Wu An really wanted to kill him. His psychological defense completely collapsed and he screamed out of control.

"No! You can't kill me. I am a member of the Pang clan, and our family members are all over the government and the public. You will not end well if you kill me!"

"My father is the head of the Linbo clan..."

"I am Mrs. Xu..."

"I am the legitimate son of the Shi family..."

……………………

The high-ranking generals around Pang Jue also held their breath and shouted loudly, intimidating and tempting, in an attempt to let Zhao Yinshun know how huge the power behind them was, and what the consequences would be if they killed them.

The ancient surnames that were usually loud in the ears were passed into the ears. The originally excited people seemed to recall the fear of being dominated, and the voices gradually became quieter. In the end, only a bunch of disabled people were left shouting loudly.

Looking back at the silent crowd, Zhao Yinshun shook his head helplessly.

When you unite, even the [Emperor] will tremble. Why are you afraid of these blood-sucking insects lying on your body?

"Tang Hongda, verify your identity and pronounce the charges. Prepare them one by one. My time is precious and I don't have time to listen to their mourning."

His five fingers tapped rhythmically on the scabbard, and Zhao Yinshun ordered impatiently.
Chapter completed!
