Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Zheng Tiejun took out a fragrant pill and put it into Chu Zhengyi's mouth.

"This is a healing and hemostatic medicine that can save your life."

Chu Zhengyi swallowed the pill and shouted, "Your Excellency is merciful, thank you for the medicine."

Zheng Tiejun sneered and stuffed a rag into Chu Zhengyi's mouth, saying, "Don't thank me yet."

Zheng Tiejun looked at the more than twenty people present and said, "Our Ma Yi Guard has only one way of dealing with traitors, and that is to cut them into a thousand pieces."

Everyone took turns stabbing him until he died.

If anyone accidentally kills him within a hundred stabs, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Everyone who heard this felt a chill run down their spine.

Chu Zhengyi struggled even more frantically.

Zheng Tiejun took out a small knife and cut a piece of flesh off Chu Zhengyi's shoulder.

Then he handed the knife to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the knife and sliced ​​off a piece of flesh from Chu Zhengyi's other shoulder.

Everyone took turns stepping forward to draw their knives.

Chu Zhengyi screamed in agony the whole time.

After being stabbed more than two hundred times, Chu Zhengyi died from excessive blood loss.

Lin Feng was starting to regret bringing Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu into the Ma Yi Wei (a type of secret police force).

This is an extremely ruthless organization, both internally and externally; the slightest mistake will lead to utter ruin.

After killing Chu Zhengyi, Zheng Tiejun addressed the crowd:

No excuse is a reason for betrayal.

If anyone has any difficulties, they can come to me and Brother Lin privately.

We will definitely help them resolve this.

The city guards and government officials in the surrounding prison cells felt their legs go weak when they saw this scene.

If this hemp-clad guard is so ruthless to his own people, wouldn't he be even more ruthless to outsiders?

After Zheng Tiejun finished speaking, he looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Brother Lin, what do you think should be done to investigate the martial arts exam case?"

Lin Feng said, "If these people care so much about the case file, then there must be a huge flaw in the case file."

I think we should check the case files first, and then interrogate these people after we find the relevant information.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say."

Lin Feng immediately led everyone to examine the martial arts exam files.

Upon closer inspection, a problem was indeed discovered.

The winners of the arena battle recorded in the case file were not Lin Feng and his four companions.

That's blatant lying.

Everyone in Qinghe County knows about this, yet they dare to commit such blatant fraud.

"Hahaha," Zheng Tiejun laughed three times after learning about this, "These people are too bold, they actually dare to deceive the sect."

The city guards and government offices will likely need a major reshuffle.

With evidence, we don't need to worry about these people not confessing.

That night, screams echoed from the prison cells.

The city guards and government officials all confessed.

Everyone says that the general and the county magistrate ordered them to tamper with the files.

……

In the morning, Zheng Tiejun took the signed and sealed indictments to the city lord's mansion.

As soon as he entered the city lord's mansion, he encountered Zheng Hui'an, the city guard general who was under house arrest there.

Zheng Hui'an was practicing his sword in the courtyard.

As Zheng Tiejun passed by him, Zheng Hui'an whispered, "We're all from the same clan."

"Going back three or five generations, we might still be family. Why not make an exception?"

Zheng Tiejun stopped and said, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!"

Zheng Hui'an immediately said, "The world has long been devoid of morality!"

People like you and me are like black holes, constantly devouring the interests of this world.

Ordinary people have no power to fight back, so why offend everyone just to give to them?

"It's not that I want to seek benefits for the people."

My rights were granted by the Sword Sect, because the Sword Sect wanted to benefit the people.

I was just going with the flow.

Furthermore, the world is not without justice; fairness resides in the hearts of the people.

After Zheng Tiejun finished speaking, he strode away.

Zheng Tiejun handed over the case-related materials to his senior apprentice.

It was the white-haired old man who came with him.

The white-haired old man was furious and immediately stripped Zheng Hui'an, the city guard general, and Li Wenzhong, the county magistrate, of their official positions.

"No wonder the sect has been dwindling in talent these past few years. It's all because of these parasites. They've recruited nothing but good-for-nothings."

Zheng Hui'an and Li Wenzhong dared not resist at all and confessed their crimes and accepted punishment.

Although these two men committed serious crimes, they were not deserving of their lives.

Because they have a group of senior disciples protecting them.

Both of them were outer disciples of the Yunda Escort Agency and were immediately escorted back to the agency's headquarters to await further instructions.

The white-haired old man ordered the Ma Yiwei (a type of guard) to thoroughly investigate all the illegal activities of the city guards and government offices over the years.

Lin Feng and the others were so busy they barely had time to breathe.

In no time, the prison of the Hemp-Clad Guard was overflowing with people.

We can only use the government prison.

Within half a month, soldiers from the city guards and constables from the yamen all visited the prison of the Ma Yiwei.

Lin Feng also instructed Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu to spread the word, encouraging the victims to report the incidents to the Ma Yiwei (a local security force).

This investigation has uncovered a huge scandal.

According to the Sword Sect's laws, almost no one in the city guards or government offices escaped punishment; not a single person was spared.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Feng immediately realized that something was wrong.

The city guards and government offices all over the world are probably like this; it's impossible to get rid of them all, otherwise how would the city guards and government offices function?

Lin Feng immediately found Zheng Tiejun and told him his analysis, "General, the law does not punish the masses."

This operation will likely end up being abandoned.

Zheng Tiejun stood up and paced back and forth in the room several times before gritting his teeth and saying, "Let's proceed according to the existing laws of the Sword Sect."

Those whose crimes warrant execution, kill them all!

These people cannot be allowed to escape their crimes.

"Go and do it immediately."

Lin Feng immediately led his men to handle the matter, and he beheaded his men overnight.

The heads of the city guards and criminals in the yamen rolled as he killed them.

The number of city guards and government officials was reduced by half.

Sure enough, the next day the Sword Sect ordered that the Ma Yi Guards in various places be commended, and that they be ordered to release the city guards and government officials, and temporarily postpone the punishment of these people.

Sword Sect instructed the Hemp-Clad Guards not to focus on the city guards and government offices, but to have them conduct internal training or go deep among the people to solve their practical problems.

The guards immediately released the man.

The prison of the Hemp-Clad Guards was now empty.

Lin Feng and the others also became more relaxed.

Zheng Tiejun told everyone to rest for a few days, and that rewards would be given in due time.

I've finished my work.

Lin Feng led Sun Yu, Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhou Haitao, and Lin Hu home.

On the way, the people from the yamen and the city guards felt their legs go weak when they saw them.

During this period, the Ma Yi Wei established their reputation through iron-fisted methods.

The common people spoke highly of the Ma Yiwei (a type of guard), while the city guards and government offices feared them like tigers.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at a city guard by the roadside.

The city guard quickly bowed to the crowd.

Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh, "Power is truly a wonderful thing!"

Sun Yu said, "It's a terrifying thing too."

Lin Feng said, "That's not right of you."

Only with power can you better help others.

I hope that all upright people in the world, like our general, will actively strive for power and prevent it from falling into the hands of evil people.

Lin Hu said, "Yes, we must keep power in our own hands."

Sun Yu looked at Lin Feng and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Lin Feng wanted to make meritorious contributions, because only by doing so could he obtain the sacred medicine and have a chance to enter the Sword Sect.

He can only be considered an outer member of the Sword Sect now.

Lin Feng looked in the direction of Xiahe Village, "It's a pity that if the higher-ups hadn't stopped it this time, they would have found out about the Iron Rod Gang."

Didn't the higher-ups tell us to help the people solve their problems?

After we've had some time to recover, we'll wipe out the Iron Rod Gang completely.

This also allows us to continue searching for evidence of the city guards' crimes from other angles.

Lin Feng was looking forward to Zheng Tiejun's talk of rewarding meritorious service, wondering if he would be given some pills that could help him break through his limits.
