"You gelded dog, you must die a happy death!"
"The emperor has no right, and we aspiring people would rather die than surrender!"
"Your atrocities will definitely be punished!"
The mob's shouts and screams, accompanied by the sound of killing, the sound of swords and axes, and the sound of skin and flesh being torn, filled the sky above Weiyang City.
The wind picked up and the sky suddenly became overcast.
Gradually, the blood splashed by these mobs scattered in the air, forming a blood mist all over the sky.
Wang, Xing and a group of Jiangdong Dao officials ran in mourning, knelt on the ground in a panic, kowtowed and cried loudly.
"Lord Governor, have mercy, we really can't go on any longer!"
"If this is the case, the people of Jiangdong are in danger!"
Wang Jinli even anxiously climbed forward a few steps, grabbed the corner of Xiao Chen's purple robe, and said with tears streaming down his face: "In my hundreds of years in Jiangdong, there has never been such a cruel thing."
"Now that Master Daotai is not here, Lord Governor, you have so brutalized the people of Jiangdong, how can you ask your subordinates to explain to Master Daotai!"
"I beg the governor to have mercy and stop here. The lower officials and others promise the governor that these people will be driven out of the city!"
After hearing this, several others also shed tears and kowtowed, as if they were petitioning for the people.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong warning and majesty fell on these people. Gradually, an icy coldness froze Wang Jinli at his feet, and said coldly, "Why can't I order these people to stop these people no matter how hard I say?" The mob persuaded them to leave, but you, Wang Shili, can say this with such certainty?"
"Is it possible that these people are following your orders?"
Suddenly, Wang Jinli's begging face paused slightly, a flash of nervousness appeared in his eyes, and then he kowtowed hurriedly: "I don't dare!"
"It's just that these people are our fellow villagers from Jiangdong after all. They should be more tolerant to Xiaguan, a local official!"
"No matter what, I'm willing to risk my life to appease the people's anger!"
Xiao Chen sneered, a dangerous look appeared in his eyes, cold murderous intent overflowed, and he said in a deep voice: "In that case, I will help you."
"Hong Luan, hang his head on the city gate for the governor, and tell everyone that Lord Chief Shi Wang is willing to sacrifice his life for the people and use his blood to ask the mob to stop."
As soon as the order was given, all Jiangdong Dao officials present were so frightened that their bodies froze, their faces turned pale, and they looked at Xiao Chen in shock.
There was a faint surge of resentment in everyone's eyes, and they wanted to cut Xiao Chen into pieces with a thousand knives.
Ji Hongluan was also startled. She didn't expect Xiao Chen to dare to order her as an executioner.
However, as soon as my mind moved, I thought of the things these Jiangdong Road officials usually did, and a hint of resentment emerged.
"Okay, I will give you an advantage today."
In response, Ji Hongluan picked up the two swords and walked towards Wang Jinli.
Wang Jinli's face turned pale with fright and his lips trembled. This incident happened so quickly that he couldn't say anything reasonable at the moment.
He could only hurriedly kowtow and beg for mercy, feeling extremely frightened and saying, "Governor, Governor... have mercy, Lord Governor!"
"The official is guilty. The official should not plead for those mobs...!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Chen in horror, his eyes filled with the extreme desire for life of a dying person.
But Xiao Chen just narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his expression did not waver at all because of his begging for mercy.
On the side, Xing Tianming's eyes moved slightly, his head lowered cautiously, and he took the initiative to take a few steps back.
Seeing this, Wang Jinli couldn't help but look back at his colleagues.
At this time, each of these people's faces turned pale. Looking at their ears, nose, nose, and heart, it was clear that they had all stopped in front of Xiao Chen's strength and no longer dared to make any further invitations.
"Anyone among you who wants to serve the people with your life like the Chief Minister, please step forward immediately, and I will help you do it."
Xiao Chen also looked at the Jiangdong officials who had their heads lowered and asked with a sneer.
Everyone was kneeling stiffly, and no one dared to say another word. They were all afraid that if they said something wrong, they would end up in the same fate as Wang Jinli.
Even Xing Tianming, who usually followed Wang Jinli like a conjoined brother, just stayed out of the incident quietly.
Xiao Chen sneered with satisfaction and raised his hand slightly, indicating that Ji Hongluan could take action.
Wang Jinli's eyes suddenly burst with fear. Seeing in despair that he had no way out, he couldn't help shouting wildly: "Xiao Chen, I am a dignified seventh-grade life officer, what authority do you have to kill me?"
"You dare to kill me today, Master Daotai will not let you go!"
"I'm going to sue you in front of His Majesty... Our royal family will not let you go..."
Xiao Chen just looked at him coldly, the emotion on his face was as cold and indifferent as looking at a struggling ant.
Ji Hongluan was also rude. He was naturally not afraid of this squawking toad when he was walking around the world. When he raised the knife and dropped it, Wang Jinli's head was suddenly in a different place and he lost his breath.
Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, Xiao Chen just raised his hand and motioned to Ji Hongluan to do the next thing.
Ji Hongluan pouted her red mouth and glared at him. Without saying anything, she neatly picked up Wang Jinli's head and headed towards the city gate.
There was an eerie silence in the courtyard. Xiao Chen glanced coldly at the Jiangdong officials who were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to say a word. He ignored them and turned around to take a few beauties back to rest.
This time he turned around, he was shocked.
He saw Ji Yunlan standing in front of him with a pale face, staring at Ji Hongluan's leaving back. Because he was looking seriously at her, her beautiful little face moved forward uncontrollably, so scared that Xiao Chen almost felt like he was sticking to the face of a ghost.
"Ahem!" Ji Yunlan came back to her senses, put on a heroic and beautiful face, showed the aura of a princess, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where did that female Yaksha just come from?"
"Oh, she is the governor's new maid. She serves tea and water. She only knows a little bit about boxing and kicking."
"Maid? Huh?" Ji Yunlan snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "A mere maid deserves the surname Ji?"
"Your Highness, you can call her Xiaohong." Xiao Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Ji Yunlan glanced at him and seemed to be coaxed by his good temper. Then she snorted and turned back to her room proudly.
Here, Wang Jinli's head was hung on the city gate. Ji Hongluan found Xiang Yichun in the crowd and told him what Xiao Chen said.
Xiang Yichun nodded, and soon used Qinggong to reach the city gate, loudly announcing Xiao Chen's intention.
However, those mobs who are clearly controlled by others have no way out, so how can they recognize the history of the government?
The riots continued, and the sunset was stained with blood.
Xiang Yichun and others continued the massacre until the long street turned into a sea of blood and the mob was wiped out.
A streak of bloody sunset on the horizon made Weiyang City look like purgatory. Xiao Chen pushed the door open and walked out. The smell of blood made him wrinkle his nose in disgust.
Seeing the subordinate officers still kneeling tremblingly, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Just in time, I'll leave the cleaning up to you."
"In two hours, can you handle Weiyang City properly?"
"Don't worry, Lord Governor!"
"I'll wait and see if I can!"
Many subordinate officials were so frightened that they kowtowed and agreed, not daring to say another word.
Xiao Chen waved his hand, signaling for them to retreat.
Here, Xing Tianming quietly came up and said cautiously and obediently: "Reporting to the Governor, the other courtyard where Mr. Zhang is staying has been packed, and the adults can rest."
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Zhang Dongyang, "So, brother Dongyang, let's meet again tomorrow?"
Zhang Dongyang sighed, nodded, bowed his hands to Xiao Chen with a complicated expression, and left with his servants.
