When Tao Tianming looked at the entire village, which was surrounded, he had a proud look on his face.
"Sir, everything has been done! Please give the order!"
At this time, a government official came forward and said respectfully.
"Okay! Come on! Take down everyone in the village who can carry weapons!"
Tao Tianming looked in the direction of the village and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes! Sir!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
"As you command!"
"..."
As Tao Tianming's order was issued, all the government officials respectfully accepted the order.
As they moved closer to the village, they drew out their long knives.
"My Lord has an order! Anyone in the village who dares to resist will be captured!"
Everyone came to the entrance of the village and began to repeat Tao Tianming's words.
"yes!"
"Do it!"
"superior!"
"..."
Following the words of several government officials, a group of government officials who had been surrounding the entrance of the village drew their weapons and approached the village.
They started by searching house to house.
No one was found.
Even so, they didn't feel it was inappropriate.
In this era of widespread starvation, it often happened that entire villages died.
So, these people continued to search the village.
When they got deep into the village, they didn't know that they were surrounded.
Wu Guang's soldiers were all hidden in nooks and crannies, and many were hidden in empty granaries.
These people who were running errands didn't look carefully at all.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Kill!"
Wu Guang's leader roared and lit the torches in their hands.
Teams rushed out of the alley behind them.
The torches in their hands were like fire dragons, and they rushed to the eyes of the Yamen servants brought by Tao Tianming in the blink of an eye.
Under the surprise attack, everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Bold rebel! How dare you assassinate the prince overnight! I will chop them all down!"
Wu Guang led his troops towards the government officials and said angrily through gritted teeth.
"kill!"
"Behead these rebels!"
"..."
When the soldiers heard this, they yelled and cursed at a group of government officials.
"General! Misunderstanding! We are from the county government, not rebels!"
One of the detectives, seeing that the situation was not going well, threw away the weapon in his hand, rushed forward with a flattering look on his face, and explained.
"Hmph! There is a prince in this village! Why did you come here to kill me all night long?"
Wu Guang snorted coldly and glanced at the policeman.
He already knew what was going on, and now he was just acting here to cooperate with Wang Lin.
"General, it's our lord! He said he was coming to capture the royal criminals!"
The catcher was very good at adapting to the situation and hurriedly explained.
"General Wu, I will capture them all! Put them on death row! Anyone who dares to resist will be punished on the spot!"
At this time, Wang Lin had already stood up from the crowd, looked at the government officials, and ordered Wu Guang.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Wu Guang respectfully accepted the order, then turned to look at the government officials and said in a deep voice: "Anyone holding a weapon will be killed without mercy!"
"Ding……"
"when!"
"Wow..."
As he spoke.
The soldiers and government servants brought by No. 1 or 200 Tao Tianming all threw their weapons on the ground.
They are used to bullying others, but if they meet someone tougher, they can only kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Kneel down, everyone! Hold your head with both hands! Kneel in a row! Who dares to move! Grandpa will chop off his head!"
A burly commander of Wu Guang walked in front of the crowd with a large ring sword in his hand, and gave orders with great power.
"General Wu, Tao Tianming is outside the village, we can't let him escape!"
Wang Lin looked at Wu Guang and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, he won't be able to fly tonight!"
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Wu Guang sneered and waved his hand at the person behind him.
"Damn Wang Lin! You ambushed me!"
After a while, Tao Tianming's roar came.
Wu Guang glanced at the soldier next to him. The soldier quickly understood, rushed forward, and slapped Tao Tianming more than a dozen times before he stopped.
At this time, Tao Tianming's mouth was swollen like a sausage, and blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth. He looked very happy.
Wu Guang looked at Wang Lin and said with a smile: "General, how should we deal with these people?"
"Your soldiers! Let me borrow them for a few days! This is military pay!"
Wang Lin glanced at everyone, took out two banknotes and handed them to Wu Guang.
Wu Guang took it and took a quick look.
One is one hundred thousand taels, the other is twenty thousand taels.
He put it away with great satisfaction, and immediately said to the soldiers: "Thank you for your military salary, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you Chitose!"
"..."
All the soldiers respectfully accepted their orders and bowed gratefully to Wang Lin.
This kind of thing needs to be discussed openly.
Wu Guang didn't care what Tao Tianming knew. He was from the military and couldn't piss him off.
"Okay! Let's go back to the Shuiyun County Office! These rebels in Shuiyun County! I will put them all on death row! They will be sent to the army soon!"
Wang Lin looked at the officials and showed no mercy at all.
He had already made a decision. After taking over Shuiyun County Government, he would send all these soldiers into the army.
And the people he had been looking for before were none other than these men in the village.
They are low-level people who have endured hardships. If they are allowed to work as errands, this kind of problem will never happen again.
As for Tao Tianming, that's another matter.
His death was useful.
Wang Lin had already arranged his funeral arrangements for him.
"Your Majesty! Have mercy! We realize our mistake!"
"Your Majesty, we have all been bewitched by this dog official!"
"My lord, you can't do this!"
"..."
After listening to Wang Lin's words, all the soldiers and government officials began to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Hmph! You are guilty! You should be punished for your crime! The villagers of Shuiyun County have been preyed upon by you for many years! I assigned you because I thought you were a man! And you even bargained with me!"
Wang Lin snorted coldly, looked at the soldiers and scolded them.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
They themselves knew very well what they had done. If Wang Lin were to investigate, every one of them would be a capital crime of beheading.
"Why are you still standing there! Open the way for the prince!"
Seeing everyone's silence, Wu Guang looked at the soldiers and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty! Please!"
"Your Majesty! Please..."
Following Wu Guang's words, everyone began to take action.
Wang Lin was escorted by the crowd, like stars over the moon, towards the Shuiyun County Yamen.
Except he was escorted.
Others were responsible for escorting Tao Tianming's soldiers and government officials.
At this time, everyone had long lost the arrogance they had when they came, and they were all like eggplants beaten by frost.
They know very well that the weather in Shuiyun County will change starting tonight.
Although Tao Tianming was a nobleman of the imperial court, he was facing a prince.
Which one is more important is clear at a glance.
