Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

After listening to her ridiculous sophistry, Shao Lian didn't even want to look at her and continued talking to Shang Liang.

"Qingcheng has been surrounded. If any local citizens or merchants attempt to leave by force, they will be beheaded. At the County Magistrate's Office, have Wei Zhe drag everyone in the office to the gate and execute them! As for this group of people, take them all out through the back door and bring them to the County Magistrate's Office for detention."

The army that a major general of Da Shao could lead was definitely not comparable to that of a small prefect. In addition, Shao Lian had already made preparations, so with just one order, Wei Zhe acted extremely quickly.

The quality and quantity of his army were no longer something that the people of the small Qingcheng could suppress. Those who came here to seek medical treatment were all afraid of death. When they met the royal army of Da Shao, how could they dare to say anything? Those who had connections discovered that it was Major General Wei's army, and they hurriedly cooperated. They checked their passes and names at the door. The officers would only let them in after confirming that they were outsiders who came here to seek medical treatment.

Some local people noticed something was wrong and tried to break through the checkpoint, but were killed immediately. The ground was stained with blood, and several troublemakers were chopped off. Soon, the agitated crowd calmed down.

Not all the staff of the iron foundry were killed, but not many were left alive. Some of the troublemakers were executed on the spot at Shao Lian's suggestion, and the rest were taken to the county magistrate's mansion for interrogation. When those people saw that the army was really going to kill them, they immediately became obedient.

……

At the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.

The people in the county magistrate's office who had previously suppressed tyranny here were dragged out of the office by Wei Zhe and beheaded at the door. Before the beheading, in order to appease the people, Wei Zhe explained clearly why the people in the county magistrate's office were beheaded. He did not reveal the fact that the prince was here. After all, everyone in the capital thought that the prince was sick. If he said now that the prince handled the matter, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

When the agitated people heard that it was a major general, they had never seen such a great man in their lives! Their legs were trembling. Did their previous murder of the prefect have to be exposed?

After seeing Wei Zhe finish reading out the county magistrate's crimes, he directly beheaded everyone in the county magistrate's office. As the heads fell one by one, their faces turned pale. Some of them who had never seen a beheading vomited or fainted on the spot.

The people who did not faint and were still holding on were thinking that they had wished that the damned county magistrate would die before, but now that they saw that he was really dead and the evidence of his crimes before his death was clearly stated, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

They killed the governor, which is also considered as going against the imperial court! If this is discovered by Major General Wei, they will be dead soon!

The blade of death is already on their necks.

The entire Qingcheng was engulfed in blood and rain in one day.

Because the front door of the county magistrate's mansion was covered in blood and the bodies had not been dealt with yet, Shao Lian, Yu Ziyin and others entered through the side door after arriving at the mansion. Although the mansion was not covered in blood, a strong smell of blood could still be smelled. It seemed that Wei Zhe had thought that the prince would enter the mansion, so he simply cleaned it up.

Yan Yue also noticed the smell of blood. She looked at Shao Lian and Yu Zinyin walking in front of her, and her eyes changed unpredictably.

She was escorted all the way by Shang Liang, and she also learned that the real master of everyone was Shao Lian. Even the feared Major General Wei obeyed Shao Lian's orders. She could not guess that Shao Lian's real identity was the Crown Prince of Shao State, but she also knew that there were only a few people who could command major generals, and they must be of extraordinary status.

At this time, Yan Yue still thought that Shao Lian was at most a minister of the third rank or above, and did not think of Shao Lian as a prince at all.

Her heart immediately began to beat fast, thinking that since this person was here to investigate the situation in Qingcheng, she would cooperate more and help him deal with the situation in Qingcheng as soon as possible, while showing her ability to gain more bargaining chips. As for the woman beside Shao Lian, Yan Yue also concluded that this person must not be his wife. No man would bring his wife out to get involved, so the annoyance she felt about being deceived by Shao Lian was reduced a lot.

Although she didn't know whether Shao Lian believed her words that she did not participate in the rebellion, she still insisted that she was innocent. She did not react at all to the killing of the young people here. After all, she only regarded them as her subordinates, and she was not really waving the banner of equality for all.

But seeing that Shao Lian didn't seem to want to ask what she meant and even wanted his men to lock her up directly, Yan Yue couldn't help but feel anxious again and said quickly, "Don't lock me up, I will cooperate with you. I can help you grasp the situation of the entire Qingcheng more quickly. Besides, my medical skills are very good. I have saved many people before. The situation of the woman next to you also requires my help! Master Li! If you don't kill me, I will definitely be used by you! How about we split the benefits 50-50?!"

"Shut up!" Shang Liang had no principle that women cannot be beaten, so he kicked Yan Yue directly in the knee, making her kneel on the ground in pain and shut up.

Yu Zinyin was already uneasy, and was frightened by the noise, so she subconsciously grabbed Shao Lian's hand.

Shao Lian had already taken control of the entire Qingcheng, so why would he need Yan Yue's help? He was already a little tired of Yan Yue's noise along the way. She kept saying the same few words over and over again, so he gestured to Shang Liang to deal with Yan Yue, "Don't bring this woman to me until she learns to speak properly."

"Yes!" Shang Liang took Yan Yue away.

"Wait!" Yan Yue screamed, "Why are you doing this to me? I'm telling the truth! I was really threatened by them before, so I had to obey them and help them rebel, but in my heart I have always been loyal to Da Shao! Aren't you afraid that I won't cure that woman! Uuuuu!"

She couldn't say the rest because Shang Liang couldn't bear to listen any longer and stuffed a cloth into her mouth. "Drag her away!"

Yu Ziyin was surprised to see Yan Yue being dragged away by Shang Liang. It was also a kind of fate that Shao Lian could still be with Yan Yue after this.

Shao Lian saw her watching Yan Yue being dragged away, and held Yu Ziyin's hand, "Qingqing, don't worry. Even without her, I would find a miracle doctor to help you. It's just that his whereabouts are uncertain, so it will take time."

Yu Zinyin didn't say anything. She was still too young, and she wasn't in a hurry to have a baby. She was just a little scared when she heard that she would become mentally ill, and she didn't think about whether to have a baby or not.

Even if Shao Lian acted quickly, it would still take time to resolve the situation in Qingcheng. At the same time, because it had to be resolved in secret, it could not be reported to the court. The previous death of the prefect became the best means to threaten the local people. Those who did not participate in the rebellion remained silent about the rebellion, and those who really participated in the rebellion were executed by Wei Zhe on the charge of killing the prefect and the county magistrate.

The ironware and iron foundry finally fell into the hands of Shao Lian, who wrote their existence in a memorial and handed it to the shadow guard, who then handed it to the emperor.

In the Shao Kingdom Palace, the emperor read the report submitted by the crown prince, his face gloomy, and immediately issued an order to have the county magistrate's brother-in-law, the prefect Huo Qi, who was still confined to the capital, and his entire family imprisoned and later beheaded. The reason was that Huo Qi had concealed the disputes between officials and citizens in Qingcheng for many years.
