All the citizens of Chunan Town, from the monks to the common people, were once again shocked.
"Brother Peng, have you heard? The three waves of gangsters who robbed Fangshi the day before yesterday were all captured."
"I heard about it. Brother Lang, how do you think this is possible? There are more than ten monks who have escaped into the mountains. Where can you catch them?"
"Haha, you ask how we were caught? No one knows better than me. Let me tell you, our new castle master and the mountain god are sworn brothers. With just one sentence, the mountain god will send all these gangsters away. came back?"
"Fuck your mother, mountain god? You can just bullshit me. Monsters are pretty much the same."
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
"You all, stop arguing and go to the square quickly. The prisoners are all kneeling there!"
…
In the central square of the town, fifteen prisoners tied their hands upside down and knelt in a row. Kang Qianshan was at the top of the queue.
On the flagpole in the middle, two human heads that had been hanging for a day were dangling in boredom. The muscles on their faces were twisted into a strange look, as if they were making silent mockery.
Hey, come up quickly!
A gangster raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw these two brothers, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
"I don't want to die! I have three spiritual roots, I can hope to build a foundation, I can hope to build a purple mansion, and I still have hundreds of years of good life!" Suddenly, a gangster collapsed on the ground, wailing heartbreakingly, begging for forgiveness.
Chen Ru stepped forward and kicked him hard on the back, causing the man to faint immediately.
"Let him wake up." Yang Zhen said calmly on the high platform.
Without saying a word, Zhang Qianfan came up behind the man, stretched out his fingers, and a surge of domineering Qi flowed straight into him, causing the man to wake up in pain.
He no longer dared to shout loudly, and huddled on the ground with a groan, looking like he was dying.
The townspeople poured into the square from the streets and alleys. By now, it was estimated that 20,000 people had arrived. Looking around, it was dark, crowded, and bustling.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Zhen coughed slightly and took a step forward.
The sound was not loud, but it seemed to have a special magic power. The people in the front row immediately fell silent, and then everyone shut their mouths.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the young man on the stage with surprise, admiration, fear, and even more peace of mind.
Yang Zhen smiled brightly.
This smile is like a gardenia blooming in May, instantly infecting a large number of people. Those who were originally in awe and fear only then discovered that the boy on the stage turned out to be so young and so sunny.
"Folks," Yang Zhen said loudly, "Yesterday here, the Lord of the fort announced two things. The first thing is that those who smashed, smashed and robbed people, no matter where they fled, I will pursue them!"
"Now, let me tell you, I did it! I and the companions behind me did it! All fifteen monks who participated in the robbery, including a foundation-building monk, were all captured!"
"All the stolen goods have been recovered!"
There was a brief silence in the square, and then earth-shattering cheers erupted.
Yang Zhen gestured slightly to Chen Fugui next to her.
The then Zhu family’s son-in-law took a step forward, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and sang loudly:
"Now, distribute the lost spiritual stones and goods to each family. Please send a representative from each family to come forward to collect them."
"Zhang Yuanqing, Xu Ying, Wu Sheng..."
When the name "Bao Rugeng" was read, a girl in full mourning clothes walked forward, lowered her head and took a storage bag from Chen Fugui's hand.
"That must be the girl from the Bao family. I heard... Oh, how pitiful she is!"
"Our castle master is really capable. He actually rescued this baby from the hands of the thieves. Tsk tsk..."
The voices of these discussions ranged from high to low, and some could even be heard clearly from high platforms. The girl turned a deaf ear, silently retreated, and stood in a corner.
All property has been distributed. These monks who unexpectedly received the lost items bowed to the stage one by one, thanking the Lord for his kindness.
Yang Zhen smiled and returned the courtesy politely.
Then, Chen Fugui took out a document and began to read out the charges and punishments of the prisoners.
"Kang Qianshan, whose original name and place of origin are unknown, has a three-level cultivation base. On the afternoon of the fourth day of May in the Jiaxu year, he entangled three monks and extorted and robbed 17 merchants in Fangshi, the original Liangjia Town. He broke into a house, killed two people, kidnapped a girl, and then..."
"Today's decision is to make a decision!"
There was an immediate uproar from the field, more of which was excitement. I have never seen a Foundation Establishment monk executed on the spot. This is the first time in my life!
Kang Qianshan's hands were tied behind his back, sealed with a second-level spirit lock, and his mouth was also blocked. He kept struggling and whining, as if he had something to say.
Tian Tiezhu raised the steel knife in his hand and was about to cut it off with one strike.
"Master Yang, wait a minute -" At this moment, a woman's cry was heard from the audience.
Yang Zhen raised her eyes and saw that it was the daughter of the Bao family, whose full name was Bao Yinglian.
The woman fell to her knees with a plop and begged: "Master of the castle, I want to kill this beast to avenge my parents! Please allow me to do so."
After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly, and soon there was blood on his forehead.
Yang Zhen sighed: "Yes."
"Thank you Lord!"
Bao Yinglian pulled out a dagger and walked towards Kang Qianshan step by step with a solemn expression.
The bound foundation-building monk looked extremely frightened, and his whole body twisted violently, but to no avail.
Bao Yinglian slashed his knife, not on the opponent's chest, but on his right shoulder, cutting off a piece of flesh.
The muscles on Kang Qianshan's face twisted and he let out a silent wail.
Immediately afterwards, Bao Yinglian stabbed her second and third times...
The knife saw blood, and the knife cut off a piece of flesh, but it never hurt the vital part.
"This is Ling Chi! This woman also has a fierce personality." Yang Zhen sighed in her heart, but she had no intention of stopping her.
It was not until eighty times that the woman grasped the dagger tightly and stabbed Kang Qianshan in the chest, ending the guy's painful torture process.
Bao Yinglian laughed miserably: "Father, mother, it's all because of my daughter's young age, ignorance, and rash actions that made you suffer this disaster. My daughter, my daughter has avenged you today!"
After saying that, she turned the sharp blade upside down and stabbed it into her heart!
Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and a marble hit the dagger, knocking it down immediately.
Immediately, Zhang Qianfan quickly walked over, knocked her unconscious with one punch, and handed her over to Chen Ru who was following behind.
It turned out that Yang Zhen had read so much about Bao Yinglian's behavior in her previous life, but she still couldn't tell that she had a death wish. She had secretly told Zhang Qianfan to pay attention to her, and then she was able to save this woman's life in time.
Subsequently, three more people were executed, it was the three men who followed Kang Qianshan.
As for the remaining eleven people, Yang Zhen had already established her authority enough, and there was no need to kill them all. They were whipped ten times each and continued to be detained.
In the future, the construction of Chunan Town will require this group of skilled coolies.
After that, Yang Zhen announced the personnel arrangements of Chunan Town in public.
Chen Fugui is the acting lord of Chunan Fort and the mayor of Chunan Town. In addition to Chunan Town, it also includes monks and mortal affairs in six villages. He has great power.
Zhang Qianfan is the honorary master of Chunan Fort. He has no actual position, but represents Yang Zhen's feelings.
Uncle Qi, whose full name is Qi Chengming, is the chief steward of Chunan Fort and is also in charge of the city.
In addition, Yang Zhen also contributed money to help the old man rebuild a talisman paper workshop, but this was a private matter.
Tian Tiezhu, a disciple stationed in Chunan Town and the inspector of Chunan Fort.
Then, one of Yang Zhen's appointments caused an uproar, but under the young man's sharp gaze, no one dared to object.
Huang Xiao'e is the deputy mayor of Chunan Town, responsible for mortal affairs!
Not to mention the townspeople present, even Zhao Yuer was a little confused about this appointment.
In this regard, Yang Zhen’s explanation is:
"On the mortal side, I only know this girl. I have some understanding of her character and she is trustworthy."
"I don't need her to be very good, or even incompetent. As long as she is there, many people who want to deceive others and act arrogantly will have many more worries and dare not do it so fiercely. "
"I don't have many people under my command, and I urgently need to restore order in Chunan Town. Therefore, it is enough to achieve these goals."
…
Yang Zhen stayed in Chunan Town for another two days, helping Chen Fugui, Tian Tiezhu, Huang Xiao'e and others stabilize the situation, and also gradually arranged for people from the Liang family who had committed less serious crimes.
During this period, he also reported what happened here to the county guard and completed the procedures from Zhang Mi. At this point, there was no loophole in the execution of Kang Qianshan and others.
On the ninth day of May, the second-order flying boat taken from the Liang family took off again, taking the remaining twenty-odd prisoners of the Liang family, as well as Zhao Yue'er, Zhang Qianfan and Chen Ru to fly to the Monkey King Cave.
It was also on this day that news came from Zixue that something was finally discovered in the magic array.
