Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 285 The time has come

Can't I kill him?
Yang Qian took out the "Jizhou Prefecture Wartime Control Order" issued by Liu Chuan. Everything should be dealt with severely and quickly. This was a tough measure to deal with the turbulent period in Jizhou Prefecture.

In the time that Zhou Ting hadn't even finished his cup of tea, a rough file arrived in Yang Qian's hands, which he quickly glanced over and handed to Zhou Ting.

"Master Zhou, as expected, the last four people have confessed. It's a very simple case. Even if you have never been exposed to such things, you can easily understand it."

Zhou Ting took the file and quickly flipped through it. It was indeed a very simple case as Yang Qian said. But the last four words "according to the law, he should be executed" made his eyelids jump.

"Lord Yang, are you really so decisive?"

"The law is supreme. I can't control these young masters in other places, but if they come here and do evil under my nose, then that's not okay.

Hey, Lord Zhou looks like a good official. Are you worried about me? No, the Hongwu Dynasty is where your majesty has the final say, right? "

Zhou Ting took a deep breath and nodded. He already understood what Yang Qian was going to do. Although there were few such people, he had seen some in his life. They were all crazy people. Besides, this was not the imperial city, but Jizhou Prefecture. Liu Chuan refused to see him, and Ge Shuni also said that military affairs were more important and he didn't want to meet him. What could Zhou Ting do here?
Moreover, the imperial guards in the Patrol Office, whose eyes were as sharp as knives, were staring at him the whole time, which made the hairs on his body stand on end.

The Imperial City Guards, these people are not just knives, but also pairs of eyes. These people are the ones who give Zhou Ting the most pressure in this courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Ting stand up, Yang Qian followed and said, "If everything goes well, the execution can be carried out tonight. If Lord Zhou is interested, you can supervise the execution together."

"No need, Lord Yang." Zhou Ting walked without stopping, expressionless, and led two guards to quickly leave the courtyard of the Patrol Office.

"Deputy Attendant Hu, you seem to be very interested in this Lord Zhou?" After seeing Zhou Ting off, Yang Qian turned around and saw Hu An walking out from the shadows behind. After this incident, he felt that the other party seemed to be more excited than him and was staring at Zhou Ting secretly.

Juan and Yang Qian had already become close friends. He even set up his temporary residence in the backyard of the Patrol Office.

"Sir Yang, although the Zhou family behind Zhou Ting is not a big family, it is not small either. Especially in recent years, their figures can be seen everywhere. In the imperial city, they are all great figures. How can ordinary people see them in such a miserable state?
So Lord Yang, you are really awesome! Zhou Ting was so angry in front of you, but he couldn't do anything about it."

Yang Qian poured a cup of tea for Hu An and started chatting. He said, "Deputy Hu, it's probably not a one-day thing that has made these noble families so lawless. Is it true that they can cover the sky with one hand and no one dares to stop them?"

"How come no one is in charge? Otherwise, His Majesty would not have established our Imperial City Guard. But there are so many obstacles that it is difficult for Lord Yang to have the opportunity and chance he has now. Moreover, the aristocratic families are so powerful that it is difficult to move against them."

Yang Qian could tell that Hu An was hesitant to speak, so he thought for a moment and tried to test him: "Even though the aristocratic family is powerful, they can only talk. If the time comes, can't you, Deputy Attendant Hu, solve the problem completely and easily?"

Juan's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment and he fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Hu An said, "Master Yang doesn't seem to know much about the power of the country. The immortal masters of the Five Thunder Palace don't seem to have mentioned it to you?"

When Yang Qian heard this, he knew there must be something hidden, so he nodded and said, "Please ask Deputy Hu to teach me."

Juan put down his teacup and said, "Ninety percent of the spiritual mineral resources in various places are in the hands of the immortal sects, and the remaining small mines are in the hands of the imperial court. It is through gradual accumulation that we have the masters in the army and the cultivators like our imperial city inner guards.

The same goes for the noble families. They have connections and businesses everywhere, and they are rich with their connections. How could they be willing to just talk like you said?
Raising private soldiers is a serious crime, but it is not a crime for a family member to cultivate immortality. If there is a seedling, it can be cultivated by devoting all resources. Moreover, it is not too easy for an immortal to live for a hundred or eighty years. With the accumulation of generations, this power should not be underestimated.

What's more, many children of noble families practiced in the immortal sect and brought some things from the immortal sect to their families. Those elixirs that strengthen the body are much more attractive to the high-ranking officials of the noble families than ordinary gold, silver and jewelry.

Lord Yang, given the current atmosphere, don’t you think it is reasonable for these children from aristocratic families to act lawless and commit evil?

If such aristocratic families really want to touch them, they must be extremely cautious. "After hearing this, Yang Qian was so surprised that he sighed in his heart: This world really cannot be blindly guessed about everything. I thought that aristocratic families were a group of parasites who mixed up with human relationships and formed cliques for personal gain. Now it seems that even if aristocratic families are insects, they have sharp mouthparts and are even poisonous.

Hu An changed the subject and said to Yang Qian with a smile, "Master Yang is different. You are already a disciple of the Five Thunder Palace, your cultivation is high, and your methods are rare and powerful in the same realm. What is most valuable is your compassion for ordinary people and your disgust for injustice.

A few days ago, I heard that many refugees outside the city called you "Master Qingtian". Hahaha, it is a blessing for the people here to have Master Yang in Jizhou Prefecture! Your Majesty will be pleased when he knows this!"

As the two were chatting, Ma Dayuan came over and said that everything was ready.

The files were filled with handprints and seals, as well as the testimonies of witnesses. According to the strict wartime laws, Yang Qian could execute the criminals with just one order.

"Would Deputy Hu be interested in watching the execution together?"

"Hehe, we must go and take a look. These bastards have done a lot of evil in the imperial city. Let's see how they die today and just watch the show."

When they got to the dungeon, the seven dandies didn't look that miserable. After all, as Ma Dayuan said, they were all boneless, and there was no need to use any torture instruments. A few whips would tell whether their mothers were wearing underwear or not.

So the bodies of these people were relatively clean, but their faces looked very bad.

When he saw Yang Qian come in, even with a smudge on his face, he still hummed as if he was eager to say something.

Let’s hear what these playboys have to say before they die?

Yang Qian had no interest in this at all. He turned around and asked someone to call the mother and son who lived in the patrol office over and asked them to watch from the side.

"There are seven people including Tan Wen and Yi Lin who raped a woman. According to the wartime law, the criminals will be punished severely and quickly, so you are sentenced to be beheaded and displayed to the public. However, considering the current situation of Jizhou Prefecture, you can be beheaded immediately instead of being displayed to the public."

Yang Qian took the statement prepared by Ma Dayuan and read it out forcefully, word by word. The mother and son burst into tears and waited impatiently for the murderer to be executed. Tan Wen and the other seven stared with disbelief.

I thought I would have to suffer this time and wait for my family to rescue me, but I never expected that I would be beheaded right after I confessed?!

This is impossible!

I have something to say!

But no matter how unbelievable it was, it couldn't change the facts. These dandies didn't even have the intention of taking the iron nut off their mouths, which made it clear that Yang Qian didn't want to hear what they had to say at all.

"Execution."

As soon as Yang Qian finished speaking, a burly executioner came over with a big knife. After bowing to Yang Qian, he started to work.

Put out the baskets, wooden basins and chopping boards.
Be methodical.

Finally, he raised his knife and cut off the heads, which piled up together and filled a basket.
