Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

Following Xu Feng's order, everyone started to act on the spot.

The charges were clearly written on the list, there was no injustice, and all those present who were Zhou Tong's lackeys were not good people.

What’s worse is that some of them have committed more than one murder but have never been punished.

"I wonder who of you dares to do this. I'm the county magistrate's brother-in-law. I have nothing to do with them. You're framing me."

"Zhou Tong forced me to do this. If you spare my life, I will confess everything they did."

……

The scene was in chaos. Some people tried to escape by talking about their backgrounds, while others expressed their willingness to compromise and tell the truth.

This made several generals feel troubled. They didn't know what to do next. They didn't have the courage like Xu Feng to act without any discrimination.

Xu Feng did not stand up immediately. He was observing. Logically speaking, the Jinyiwei was a force that belonged only to the emperor. How could they be underestimated like this?

Now he understood part of the reason.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to their military origin. The advantage is that they are strong and disciplined.

The downside is that their mindset has not changed. They like to rely on evidence when doing things, and they have to go through a series of procedures after obtaining the evidence.

No wonder so many things were delayed. It would take at least half a month to go through the whole process.

There would naturally be no problem in handling the case normally, but they are the Jinyiwei. Wouldn't it be a waste of the many privileges given to them by the emperor if they followed the normal procedures?

He wanted to use this opportunity to make everyone understand one thing: don't act according to the old way of thinking anymore. They are a knife in the emperor's hand and the emperor's lackeys.

What are hawks and lackeys? They do things without regard for evidence. They will kill whoever the emperor tells them to kill, without considering the outcome or the process. They just need to hold the target's head in front of the emperor.

If you are always worried, your work efficiency will be greatly reduced.

From this perspective, the situation in the court is probably even worse.

It was normal that the ministers did not take the Jinyiwei seriously. If the emperor knew what he was thinking, he would definitely pat him on the shoulder and say that it was a pity that we met too late, because this was exactly the result the emperor wanted.

The current emperor ascended the throne at a time of crisis. Under normal circumstances, it would not be easy for him to control power, so he could only take unconventional measures.

"enough!"

Seeing that some people took out pens, ink, paper and inkstone to interrogate on the spot, Xu Feng finally spoke up to stop them.

"Isn't the charge I gave you clear enough? Or do you not trust me and need a second interrogation?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and didn't know how to respond. Finally, a general flag officer stood up and explained the reason.

"Your Excellency, according to past rules, we need to leave a case record for His Majesty to review."

"Then kill them first. I think His Majesty would rather see their heads laid out before him than the criminal records you submitted."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into chaos again, and no one thought Xu Feng was joking.

Zhou Tong died in front of them without even closing his eyes.

"I want to see the county magistrate. You can't kill me. I'm a successful candidate..."

"Let's use the one who was shouting the loudest as the sacrifice first."

People didn't like to beat around the bush, so at Xu Feng's command, someone raised his knife and chopped off the other person's head immediately.

This is indeed very efficient.

In just half an hour, those who needed to be beheaded were beheaded. After pressing the fingerprints, the bodies were thrown out the door.

The scene suddenly became much quieter. The next step was to clean up the mess. Zhou Tong had made this place a mess, and it was probably impossible to settle it down in a short time.

"Sir, what should we do with these gamblers? Should we let them go?"

"All those who gathered to gamble will be jailed. Ask their families to come and redeem them. In addition, all gambling funds will be confiscated. Now let's take stock of the finances."

No one expected that there would be a major purge today. A total of 300,000 taels of silver were found at the scene, and this was just the silver that was on the surface.

In addition, there are some valuables that have been mortgaged, the value of which cannot be estimated at the moment and need to be properly liquidated.

"Finally I feel a little better. What's next? Are you going to continue killing people?"

Honglian has handed the decision-making power to Xu Feng. It must be said that it is indeed a pleasure to work with Xu Feng.

From top to bottom, the efficiency is extremely fast.

Basically, there were no obstacles, or rather, any obstacles encountered were cleared away by Xu Feng.

"It's natural to clip their wings. These people have more or less unclean hands."

"But this time, there's no need to be as extreme as before. Let's spread the word and see how they react. If anyone dares to act in front of us again, we'll pay them another visit."

Soon, news came out that the Jinyiwei wanted to clean up Gusu City and ordered the gambling houses and opium dens to be closed within a limited time and to hand in their account books for inspection.

Otherwise, don’t say that I didn’t warn you in advance.

Upon hearing the news, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Jianfeng Mountain became furious.

He was the first to get the news when Zhou Tong was surrounded, but he did not launch a rescue operation. He wanted to see what the Jinyiwei were going to do. Who knew that Zhou Tong lost his life when he saw it.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have stood idly by. After all, Zhou Tong could bring him thousands of taels of silver as tribute every month.

As a result, all his subordinates are in a panic, especially after the news came out, many people came to visit him and seek refuge.

"Why are you all so panicking? The sky isn't falling. For now, just go back and shut down the gambling house and cooperate with the other party's investigation. As for the account books, you can just forge them at will. Leave the rest to me."

"But Mr. Song, the Jinyiwei are coming with great force. They really dare to kill people."

Faced with Song Heng's perfunctory attitude, everyone was still a little uneasy and reluctant to leave until Song Heng made a promise in public, and then they left one after another.

"Don't worry, I've already met with the county magistrate. He won't stand idly by. Besides, who are the Jinyiwei? Gusu City is guarded by the Six Gates. They are just a group of outsiders."

After the county magistrate and the Six Gates were brought in, everyone finally calmed down, but in reality, Song Heng was not as relaxed as he appeared.

That night, he came to the county magistrate's house again with gifts.

"Sir, you must save me. The Jinyiwei are here with ill intentions. I see they will not give up easily."

The county magistrate was having a meal. Looking at the variety of dishes on the table, he felt that they were extremely luxurious.

There were all kinds of delicacies, even some out-of-season vegetables. It was not easy to have these things in front of him.

After all, even the emperor may not be able to taste it, but who knows how much of the people's money is behind it.

"They are just a bunch of little kids, can they really turn the world upside down?"
