In the twinkling of an eye, the culprits were all executed.
Li Mu tossed aside the long broadsword in his hand.
That day in the Shennong Faction, he killed many disciples in a fit of rage. Many of them were crushed to death by falling rocks, too. That was because Li Mu, who was in a state of rage, could not control himself when he saw the plaintiff's mother and daughter die tragically in the devil's den of the Shennong Faction.
After that incident, Li Mu reflected on his actions.
After all, humans were not pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse. God cherished every living thing. Everyone had only one life.
Therefore, after that battle, Li Mu mostly punished the culprits and rarely killed them.
But today, he lost control again.
And at this time, he did not regret it.
People like Ning Zhongshan and Chu Shufeng, who were despicable and cruel, climbed to where they were today by stepping on the blood and bones of countless innocent people. Moreover, even if he did not care about their past crimes, what they did in Taibai County in the past few days had crossed Li Mu's bottom line.
Li Mu did not regret killing such people at all.
Especially when Li Mu slapped Supervisor Xu to death, he suddenly figured it out.
He remembered the catchphrase of the popular character "Buddha and Sword" in the popular Thunderbolt puppet show on Earth — killing is to protect lives, and punishing sins is not punishing people.
As an eminent monk of the Buddhist Sect, 'Buddha Sword Separation' not only had profound attainments in Buddhism, but he also had an exceptional martial cultivation base. Throughout his life, he hated evil as if it was his enemy. In the face of evil, he would never show mercy. It was unknown how many people who had committed the most heinous crimes he had killed, causing countless evil people to avoid him as soon as they heard his name, as if they were mourning the death of their parents.
Just like his name, in his heart, 'Buddha' and 'Sword' should be discussed separately. 'Buddha will help those who are fated, while' Sword 'will slay the sinners. Slaying the sinners was to better protect the good, and sending the wicked to hell to repent and change was also a kind of Buddhist dharma.
Among the many characters in the cold and cruel world of Pi Li, this eminent monk had an unparalleled popularity with the audience. He was not inferior to Su Huanzhen, the main character of the past ten thousand years. This was because of his unique charisma.
Gazing at the corpses of Ning Zhongshan, Chu Shufeng, Qian Cheng, and the others, Li Mu did not regret his decision at all.
By killing these dregs, he would be able to protect more people from being poisoned by these dregs.
He looked at the remaining two deputy generals and the rest of the Black Armored Army.
The two Deputy Generals were scared out of their wits, but they didn't dare to run. With a plop, they knelt on the ground, trembling as they begged for mercy.
Under Li Mu's gaze, nearly a hundred soldiers of the black-armored army also fell to their knees. They dropped their weapons on the ground and bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.
"All of you, leave Taibai County within half an hour."
Although Li Mu was enraged, he was not crazy enough to kill all the people from the Chang 'an government.
He pointed at the corpses of Ning Zhongshan, Chu Shufeng, and the others on the ground and said, "Clean up the yard of this county and take these corpses with you. Go back and tell that magistrate of yours not to provoke me again. Otherwise, next time, things will not be so simple."
After hearing Chu Shufeng's dying words, Li Mu did not have the slightest favorable impression of that magistrate of Chang 'an. With his current strength and cultivation, he was no longer afraid of a magistrate of Chang 'an. Therefore, he directly threatened him.
The two deputy generals felt as if they had just heard the sound of nature.
They had thought that they would not be able to escape this time and would definitely be killed to keep their mouths shut. But to their surprise, the magistrate of Taibai County suddenly showed mercy and decided to let them go.
"We'll put in a good word for Master Li when we get back," said one of the deputy generals, thinking himself clever.
Li Mu snorted and said, "That won't be necessary. Just tell him the truth."
The deputy general's face turned red.
Under the command of the two deputy generals, the black-armored soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and put away the corpses of Ning Zhongshan, Chu Shufeng, Qian Cheng, and the others.
The two armored soldiers went to help Li Bing up and were about to leave with him.
"He stays." Li Mu pointed at Li Bing.
Li Bing was also the culprit. How could he let him go so easily?
Moreover, Li Mu recalled the words of the Heartless Scholar, Zheng Cunjian, and had some speculations. He believed that the youngest son of the magistrate of Chang 'an might have something to do with the real Li Mu, so he had to keep him alive to figure it out.
"No, no, no, no, I want to get out of here. Let me go …" Li Bing was scared out of his wits. He struggled desperately and wailed. In his eyes, the current Li Mu was as horrible as a demon from hell.
"One more word, and I'll cut off one of your legs." Li Mu said coldly on purpose.
Li Bing was so scared that he covered his mouth with his hand, and his face twisted.
Li Mu didn't want to talk to him anymore. He walked straight to Zheng Cunjian's body, picked it up, and said, "Leave this man with me for now."
Naturally, the two deputy generals and the black-armored soldiers did not dare to object.
A moment later, the front yard of the county government, which was a little messy because of the previous battle, was cleaned up.
"Let's go. Don't spread what happened in the front yard of the county government in Taibai County." Li Mu pointed at the gate and said, "Go back the way you came. Don't look like a rooster who just lost a fight."
The two deputy generals and nearly a hundred black-armored soldiers left in a line.
The front yard of the county government was restored to peace.
Li Mu sniffed the faint smell of blood in the air and pondered something.
He felt that he had to make some changes.
Taibai County was his place of cultivation. It was beautiful and full of Spiritual Qi, like a paradise. In Li Mu's plan, he did not plan to leave this county in a short time. Therefore, he had to do something to ensure the safety of Taibai County, especially the county government.
If there were any troubles in the future like this time, when others could easily break into the county government as soon as they came to make trouble, the so-called protection of family and friends would be a joke. The tragedy that happened to Qing Feng, Ma Junwu, and the others could happen again at any time.
Moreover, in fact, Li Mu already had some plans in mind.
At that moment, a Dutou Official came in, trembling with fear, and knelt in front of Li Mu to ask for instructions.
"Your honor, Zhou Zhenyue, the outer school elder of the Taibai Sword Faction, together with 30 disciples, Sky Dragon Faction, Huya Faction, and many other sects, are waiting outside the county government to see you." The guard reported loudly.
"The outer school elder of the Taibai Sword Faction?"
A trace of sneer appeared in Li Mu's eyes.
"I can't stand it anymore. Finally?"
At that time, Ma Junwu had vaguely reminded him that the Zhou family, where the former Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Wu was from, was related to the Taibai Sword Faction, so they would definitely ask for help from the Taibai Sword Faction and come back for revenge. Li Mu had also taken precautions, but the Taibai Sword Faction had not made any moves, so he ignored this matter.
But today, the Taibai Sword Faction came to him.
"Well, one guest doesn't bother two hosts. Today, I'll send all the enemies away."
Li Mu said, "Fine. Let them in."
He asked the Dutou Official to go out and deliver the order. At the same time, he asked him to bring in a few reliable guards to take Li Bing and Zheng Cunjian away.
Footsteps came.
A group of people walked in through the gate of the county government.
Those people were all dressed in Jianghu clothes. They all looked different, and all carried weapons. Their internal qi was flowing. Their cultivation was not weak.
In particular, the leader of the group was in his fifties. He was tall and slender, with snow-white hair and a strangely shaped long sword hanging at his waist. He was dressed in a snow-white swordsman's robe, which was as clean and clean as the snow on the main peak of Taibai Mountain. He was quite eye-catching.
He was Zhou Zhenyue, the outer school elder of the Taibai Sword Faction.
Behind him were more than 30 young men and women in white swordsman's uniforms. They looked young and arrogant, and surrounded him like a peacock spreading its tail.
Then came the experts from the Sky Dragon Faction, the Huya Faction, and some other Jianghu factions in the northwest. They stood on both sides of the disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction with different expressions.
"I'm Zhou Zhenyue from the Taibai Sword Faction. Nice to meet you, County Magistrate Li."
Zhou Zhenyue, whose hair was as white as frost, took three steps forward and raised his hand to salute.
Li Mu understood.
His name was only one word different from Zhou Zhenhai, the patriarch of the Zhou family. This white-haired elder should be the outer school elder of the Taibai Sword Faction from the Zhou family that Ma Junwu mentioned. He was quite imposing and had the demeanor of a master. The aura around him was similar to that of Wei Chong, the elder of the Qing Sha Clan in the battle at the Nine-dragons Fall.
"Elder Zhou, what's the matter?" Li Mu asked, though he knew the answer.
Zhou Zhenyue looked calm and did not hide anything. He came straight to the point and said, "More than a month ago, my brother came to the Taibai Sword Faction to ask for help. He accused Your Honor of killing his son, Zhou Wu, for no reason. He asked me to avenge Zhou Wu. Ten days ago, I entered the county with 36 disciples of the ninth generation of the Taibai Sword Faction. Four days ago, we found the bodies of Lu Yun and three other disciples in the county's Righteous Manor. After investigation, we found the bodies were sent to the Righteous Manor by the guards of the county government. Today, I'm here to avenge my family's personal grudge as well as the official business of the faction.
His words were clear and well-organized. He stated the facts without too much personal emotion. His tone was also very calm. He did not look like a man who came to seek revenge in a rage, which surprised Li Mu.
This Zhou Zhenyue seemed to be different from Zhou Zhenhai.
As for the four disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction you mentioned, I don't know them. But on the evening of five days ago, the county government was attacked. A blind Taoist broke into the county government and took Ming Yue away when I was not there. When I rushed from the county government prison, I did find the bodies of four strangers in the county government. Maybe they were the four disciples you mentioned. Their death has nothing to do with me or the county government soldiers. "
"You lied." A young disciple of the Taibai Sword Faction, who was standing in the crowd, could not help shouting, "Why did Senior Brother Lu Yun and the others go to the county government and die there? You must have killed them. If you dared to do it, why wouldn't you dare to admit it? "
"This matter is not something that you can let go of with a few words. You must give us an explanation." Another disciple of the Taibai Sword Faction also shouted.
"That's right. He died in your county government. Everyone in your county government is a suspect." The female disciple, Zhao Ling, stepped forward and glared at Li Mu. Her eyes were filled with disgust, and her tone was harsh.
"I heard that you put all the disciples and experts of the major factions in prison for the martial arts manuals and money. You tortured them and demanded ransom. Hey, Li Mu, you don't deserve to be the county magistrate of Taibai County. A vampire like you must have wanted the swordsmanship of our Taibai Sword Faction from Senior Brother Lu Yun and the others. That's why you killed them. You're a devil!" Another male disciple who had a crush on Zhao Ling also criticized Li Mu loudly. He was so hot-headed that he completely forgot Zhou Zhenyue's analysis and admonition in the Righteous Manor.
The crowd was stirred up.
Li Mu's face turned cold.
