"Congratulations, Your Honor, for suppressing Shennong Faction and eliminating Zhou Wu and Zheng Longxing, the two chief criminals. From today on, the entire Taibai County is under your control." Feng Yuanxing, the secretary, followed Li Mu and said with a flattering smile.
Li Mu's figure suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at Feng Yuanxing.
"Do you think I killed them to seize power?" Li Mu said.
Feng Yuanxing's smile froze.
Li Mu's eyes swept over the kneeling soldiers.
But taking this opportunity to show off again?
So this young county magistrate immediately showed a righteous and impassioned attitude.
"Listen to me clearly, I killed these two people to enforce the law impartially, to kill the malignant bully for Taibai County, to avenge those innocent people who died in the slaughterhouse of Shennong Faction, to protect the interests of my Taibai County, to correct the governance of the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty, to …" Li Mu said passionately and fully showed his selfless image. Then he asked, "If Zhou Wu and Zheng Longxing really loved the people and worked hard, even if they overthrew me, how could I kill them?"
Feng Yuanxing immediately responded.
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Honor is chivalrous and righteous, which is the blessing of the people of Taibai County. I should die for measuring the heart of a gentleman with a mean heart." He hurriedly changed his words, looked ashamed, and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in my Taibai County. It's a great blessing to have such a benevolent county magistrate like you."
Li Mu's mouth twitched.
"Damn it, this old thing flatters more shamelessly than me."
"The next thing is for you to deal with. The remnants of Zheng Longxing and Zhou Wu should be cleaned up, but don't implicate innocent people. Don't implicate them and don't make it bigger. Everything should be done according to the laws of the empire … As for what happened today, Secretary Feng, you draft a file and report it directly. I'm involved in it and can't respond."
After Li Mu finished, he turned and left.
"Yes, Your Honor." Feng Yuanxing said loudly with joy.
Did it mean that the county magistrate had accepted him?
…
…
Outside the headquarter of Shennong Faction, there were a lot of people.
Everything that had happened here had spread like a storm. Of course, this did not include what had happened in the grotto.
In addition to the powerful figures in the county, many ordinary civilians also came after hearing the news.
Since Li Mu broke through the gate of Shennong Faction, the news spread like wildfire, as if it had wings.
Because in the past ten years, the Shennong Faction had colluded with the government, committed crimes, killed people and robbed goods, forced buying and selling, and so on, which had caused a lot of harm to the residents of Taibai County. Many people were deeply hurt by it, but they dared not to speak out. Now, hearing that the new county magistrate was going to punish the Shennong Faction, many people's first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. But as the news became more and more serious, more people gathered here.
At this time, everything had shown that the destruction of Shennong Faction seemed to be a sure thing.
However, everyone wanted to know what had happened in the depths of the stone forest.
They didn't dare to go in and could only wait here.
Therefore, when Li Mu rode a white horse led by a guard and walked out of the stone forest unhurriedly, he was shocked by the crowd in front of him.
"Damn, why are there so many people?"
As far as the eye could see, there were at least four to five thousand people outside the main gate of the headquarters. It was a dense mass of people.
When seeing Li Mu came out, the noisy crowd instantly became silent as if it was under the magic of silencing.
He came out!
When the big shots of all forces saw this scene, their hearts beat wildly again.
Although they had been mentally prepared before this, when they saw Li Mu riding out, they were still shocked again.
Because it meant that the young county magistrate did it. He really suppressed the Shennong Faction, one of the four gangs in Taibai County, with his own strength. Except for a little injury on his shoulder, he almost came out unscathed … What kind of strength and courage did it take?
It also meant that from now on, Taibai County might usher in an iron-blooded county magistrate, and the political situation would be completely changed.
For many gangs and rich people, it was not good news.
But for many civilians, they were extremely surprised and happy when they saw Li Mu for the first time, because it turned out that the new county magistrate was so young. Although he was covered with blood, his thick eyebrows and big eyes made them feel a kind of cordiality, just like the boy next door. He didn't have the arrogant, dignified and unapproachable feeling of those bureaucrats before.
Many civilians' first impression of Li Mu could be said to be very good.
However, at this time, no one dared to speak to break the silence.
Li Mu knocked the butt of the war-horse with the silver bow, and the war-horse sped up.
The crowd automatically made a way for him.
Li Mu rode the horse and passed by.
"What a pity, what a good opportunity to show off." Li Mu sighed in his heart. After such a big event, he should give an impassioned speech to the people of Taibai County, but at this time, the power of the snake blood in his body was boiling like a volcano, so he needed to go back and refine it quickly, and he couldn't waste time here.
A man and a horse disappeared in the distant street.
After a while.
Feng Yuanxing came out of the stone forest of the headquarter of Shennong Faction with hundreds of county guards and soldiers.
There was a commotion in the crowd outside.
A figure came out of the crowd, came to Feng Yuanxing, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Feng, how is Sikong Jing? Why don't I see County Magistrate Zhou and Dianshi Envoy Zheng come out? "
Feng Yuanxing looked up and said calmly, "It turns out to be the owner of Sky Star Martial Club. Sikong Jing, the owner of Shennong Faction, broke into the medical center, killed innocent people, disregarded the law and offended the county magistrate. His crime was unpardonable, and he has been killed by the county magistrate. As for County Magistrate Zhou and Dianshi Envoy Zheng …" Feng Yuanxing said, paused, and then continued, "They colluded with Shennong Faction, tortured the civilians, and plotted to kill the county magistrate. Their crime should be punished, and they were also killed by the county magistrate according to the law!"
"What?" Wei Zilong, the owner of Sky Star Martial Club, was shocked and thought he had heard wrong, "Mr. Feng, you … Are you kidding?"
Feng Yuanxing snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "At such a critical moment, I don't have the mood to joke with you."
As he said, he turned around and waved his hand, ordering loudly, "Come on, send the bodies of the three sinners, Sikong Jing, Zhou Wu, and Zheng Longxing to the official Righteous Manor, and order people to guard them strictly. Other people, follow me to Zhou's Mansion and Zheng's Mansion to confiscate their property. The county magistrate has ordered that we must not let go the remnants of Shennong Faction and the accomplices of Zhou and Zheng."
As he said, he hurried away with the soldiers.
Twenty elite soldiers and guards carried the bodies of Sikong Jing, Zhou Wu, and Zheng Longxing out of the stone forest.
At this time, thousands of onlookers suddenly exploded and boiled like a bomb thrown into a sparrow's nest.
Wei Zilong stood in the same place, as if petrified, and his mind was blank.
How could this happen?
How could this happen?
How could this happen?
In addition to the Shennong Faction, the four gangs in Taibai County were the Tingyu Temple, the Changfeng Escort Agency and the Sky Star Martial Club. In addition to the Tingyu Temple, which was a Buddhist temple and had another background, the Changfeng Escort Agency and the Sky Star Martial Club were inextricably linked with Zhou Wu and Zheng Longxing. Compared with the Shennong Faction, they were better, but not much better.
As soon as he heard that the two giants were killed, Wei Zilong's heart suddenly became cold.
An indescribable chill rushed from his buttocks to the top of his skull, which made him feel like he was in an ice cave.
In the distance, a few fat monks from the Tingyu Temple had pale skin. When they heard the news, their expressions changed. They whispered to each other for a while, then turned around and left.
There were also several tough men wearing the standard soft armor of Changfeng Escort Agency in the crowd, and they were also shocked. After confirming that the bodies lying on the stretcher were really the bodies of Sikong Jing and the other two, they also left in a hurry with shocked faces.
Wei Zilong forcibly held back the shock and fear in his heart, and hurriedly turned away.
The sky of Taibai County collapsed.
It was certain that the major forces would reshuffle again.
The power structure would undergo earth-shaking changes.
What should the Sky Star Martial Club do?
He had to make a decision early.
At the same time, the discussion in the crowd became more and more intense.
Many people could not believe what they heard or saw until now. Such a big thing happened without warning, and it was just a sudden change of wind and clouds. If the destruction of Shennong Faction and the death of Sikong Jing were a little unexpected factor, then the death of Zhou Wu and Zheng Longxing was simply a sudden storm, which suddenly made everyone confused in the rain and wind.
It turned out that the young county magistrate who just left on horseback had done such a big thing?
"Li Qingtian!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
Many civilians immediately responded.
"Just and honorable lord."
"Woo, Cui 'er, can you see it in heaven? The county magistrate has avenged you, and the beasts of Shennong Faction are all dead … Woo!"
"Dad, mom, Sikong Jing is dead, and you can rest in peace."
"The county magistrate is the real lord, and he makes decisions for the people. Our Taibai County finally ushered in a good official."
"The clouds are dispelled, and the sun comes out."
"Who is wronged, go to the county government to complain, and the lord will definitely make decisions for us."
The people were boiling, and the public was excited.
Even some people found firecrackers from nowhere and directly set them off at the gate of the headquarter of Shennong Faction.
The crackling sound of firecrackers spread over several miles.
The atmosphere was warm, and many people were in tears, as if it was a festival.
