At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Go! Capture these traitors for me!"

Su Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, waved his hand, and gave the order immediately.

The two or three hundred men in black at the scene immediately drew their swords and rushed forward, trying to capture Xia Yun and his group.

At the critical moment, Xia Yun also waved his hand lightly.

"Fire!"

The person who gave the order was Chen Bao. The moment he spoke, a burst of gunfire was heard at the scene.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Those men in black who had just stepped forward and had not yet had time to swing their swords fell in a pool of blood on the spot.

The whole process was tantamount to a one-sided massacre.

Under the intensive fire, after just a few dozen breaths, the nearly three hundred men in black were reduced to less than thirty or forty.

At this moment, Su Chen and the group of wealthy businessmen behind him were all dumbfounded, their pupils filled with fear and shock.

They had never expected that Su Chen's carefully planned back-up plan would be so vulnerable in front of Xia Yun.

At this time, the remaining thirty or forty men in black could no longer hold the long swords in their hands, and they fell to the ground one after another, making a rustling noise.

"Those who kneel and surrender will not be killed."

At this moment, Chen Bao's cold gaze swept across the remaining thirty or forty men in black.

The men in black, who had already lost their fighting spirit, naturally did not dare to resist any more. As Chen Bao finished his words, they all knelt on the ground.

But it's not over yet.

When the remaining men in black all knelt on the ground, Chen Bao's gaze swept over Su Chen and the group of wealthy merchants behind him.

The implication is quite obvious.

His words just now, "Those who kneel down will not be killed," were not just directed at these men in black.

For a moment, all the wealthy merchants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Su Chen's face turned extremely pale. Asking him to kneel down to Xia Yun, was this a joke?

Even if he failed to outwit Xia Yun, he had been an official for many years and he always had a sense of pride in his heart.

That is when everyone was hesitating.

Xia Yun let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly.

These extremely stupid guys were so stubborn that they forced him to kill them.

Chen Bao, who was standing by, heard a sigh, and then waved his hand again.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

In a flash, the row of soldiers behind Chen Bao opened fire again, and more than thirty wealthy businessmen fell on the spot.

Most of them were shot dead directly, and a small number of them were lucky enough not to be shot to death, and they lay on the ground wailing heartbreakingly.

"Ah~"

An extremely shrill scream quickly spread throughout the Su Mansion.

Those wealthy businessmen who had been hesitant before no longer dared to hesitate.

"Sir, please stop! We kneel! We kneel!"

"Sir, we were wrong!"

"Please show mercy and let us go. We are willing to pay the grain!"

"..."

A group of wealthy businessmen rushed to speak and knelt on the ground.

Compared with the safety of your life, what does dignity matter?

If a person is gone, no amount of money is useful.

Seeing this, Xia Yun raised his left hand and ordered his soldiers to stop shooting.

"Master Su, do you have anything else to say now?"

Xia Yun spoke lightly, his eyes revealing an extremely calm and composed look.

At the same time, when the gunfire in the Su Mansion subsided, the gunfire coming from the direction of the Governor's Office gradually disappeared.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. What else can I say?"

"Master Xia, you win."

Even though he was extremely reluctant, Su Chen had to face reality at this moment.

"But even if you can take my life, your governor's office won't be any better."

Su Chen then changed the subject.

Until now, he still had hope for the thousands of men in black he had transferred.

In his opinion, it would be impossible for Xia Yun to escape unscathed if they attacked the governor's office with a force of a thousand men, even if his men were equipped with powerful weapons.

"Oh, really?"

Xia Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

This old guy is still stubborn even when he is about to die. His psychological quality is really great.

But he didn't mind breaking the old guy's last psychological defense.

"Take them all away!"

Xia Yun waved his sleeves and immediately turned around and walked towards the gate of the Su Mansion.

After receiving the order, Chen Bao quickly led a group of personal soldiers, tied up Su Chen and others, and escorted them to follow behind Xia Yun.

……

In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea passed.

Xia Yun brought Su Chen and a group of wealthy merchants in Ningdu City and finally returned to the governor's office.

The first scene that caught everyone's eyes was the piles of corpses of men in black!

The roads of several streets outside the governor's office had been completely dyed red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Even if you just look from a distance, you can clearly feel the tragic scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Su Chen and a group of wealthy businessmen had never seen such a scene before, so the moment they smelled the blood, many of them began to retch on the spot.

"Sir Su, I am curious, where did you find so many ghosts to die?"

Xia Yun asked with a smile.

He had never heard before that Su Chen had such an army in his hands.

If it wasn't him, Xia Yun, who served as the governor tonight, anyone else would have died at the hands of these men in black.

However, when the voice reached Su Chen's ears, Su Chen did not answer.

As it turned out, his wishful thinking failed again. Looking across the whole street, there were at least hundreds of corpses of men in black piled up.

This does not include the streets in other directions.

If you add them all together, there would be thousands of corpses!

This means that all the men in black he mobilized have been wiped out!

At this moment, Su Chen no longer felt the same fear as before, because he knew that his fate was already determined.

With a long sigh, Su Chen looked up at the sky as if relieved.

"Master Xia, if you want to kill me, just do it. Why bother with all that nonsense?"

Su Chen said with a calm look on his face.

Hearing this, Xia Yun put away his joking thoughts. It was time to end this farce.

Then Xia Yun waved his hand.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and tied Su Chen up with ropes.

"Post a notice that the former Nanzhili Governor Su Chen has disregarded the national law and committed unpardonable crimes such as corruption, bribery, and rioting. He will be taken to Caishikou at 3:30 pm tomorrow to be executed as an example to others."

Xia Yun pronounced Su Chen's fate word by word on the spot.

Soon, Su Chen was pushed into the dungeon of the governor's office, and more than 60 wealthy businessmen in Ningdu City remained there.

After hearing about Su Chen's fate, these people were terrified and couldn't help shaking all over.
