"Wang Xiaosan, Li Laosi, Zhao Chongwu..."

Wu Song held the roster, reading out names while swiping his hands all over Ximen Qing's body.

This snowflake-shaped dagger is incredibly sharp; even a light scratch will leave a bloody mark.

Wu Song restrained the force in his hands to prevent accidentally killing Ximen Qing.

In his view, the crimes this guy committed deserved to be punished by being torn to pieces!

We can't let him get away with this so easily!

"Ugh! I'm so tired, so tired! So tired..."

Because Wu Song dislocated Ximen Qing's jaw, he had great difficulty speaking.

He is now in a state where he can neither live nor die.

Because Wu Song wouldn't let him die so easily. He was judging Ximen Qing, reading out the names of the crimes and victims in the register while continuing to scrutinize Ximen Qing's legs, which were now covered in wounds.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered on the street, and everyone was clapping and cheering at Ximen Qing's current miserable state.

"Well done, Captain!"

"Ximen Qing deserved it!"

"Captain, let me kick him too!"

Ximen Qing had monopolized the pharmacies in Yanggu County and sold counterfeit medicines to everyone at exorbitant prices, to the point that the people of Yanggu County dared not get sick. Seeing Ximen Qing's miserable state, some people couldn't help but want to come up and beat him while he was down.

"No rush, I'm going to take this scoundrel to the yamen now and chop off his head right there at the yamen gate, what do you all say!"

Wu Song placed one foot on Ximen Qing, preventing him from getting up.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The surrounding people were very enthusiastic; they really wanted Ximen Qing to be killed.

"What's so good about it! Wu Song! How dare you commit violence in the street with a weapon! Put down your weapon and surrender now!"

Just then, the county magistrate of Yanggu County finally arrived with his men. As soon as they reached the main street, the magistrate immediately led his men to part the crowd of onlookers. Seeing Ximen Qing's miserable state, the magistrate felt his heart break!

My lord! My lord!

How did you end up like this?!

"Huh? Where did he come from?"

Shi Qian, who was hiding in the shadows, was somewhat surprised, because he had been keeping watch on the street corners, watching the guards who wanted to report the news, and had not let a single one go. He did not expect that the county magistrate would still come.

"Your Excellency, you've come at just the right time! I just happened to discover Ximen Qing's crimes over the years, and he's currently on trial."

Wu Song ignored the county magistrate and slashed Ximen Qing again.

"Stop! There's no law at all! Guards, seize him! Wu Song, don't forget you're not the captain anymore! You have no right to do this!"

"Who dares!"

Wu Song brandished his twin swords, his body radiating a murderous aura.

"County Lieutenant, you should think about yourself first. You're on this list, an accomplice of Ximen Qing. The two of you have done so many heinous things together, do you still want to deny it?"

"You, you're talking nonsense! You're the traitor! What are you waiting for? Attack! Attack!"

The county magistrate was intimidated by Wu Song's imposing presence and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only retreat step by step.

His men dared not step forward.

"Are you kidding me? The tiger-hunting captain has a knife in his hand. We only have a few taels of silver a month, why would we risk our lives!"

"Fellow villagers, this county magistrate is the one who colluded with Ximen Qing! Now, I'm going to take him to the yamen as well! Is that alright?"

Wu Song shouted to the people around him again.

"Support Commander Wu!"

"You dog-like county magistrate, surrender immediately!"

"Don't try to excuse that dog of a county lieutenant, he deserves to die too..."

The people on both sides of the street responded to Wu Song's words, and they even moved forward together, constantly pressing down on the defensive line formed by the county magistrate's men.

"Let's go, everyone, let's drive these people to the yamen!"

Wu Song sheathed his twin swords and carried them on his back. With one hand he dragged the half-dead Ximen Qing, while with the other he raised his arm and shouted, urging more and more people in the street to move forward.

The people followed behind him, each one shouting things like "Ximen Qing shall die a horrible death!" which created a tremendous sense of oppression.

The soldiers brought by the county magistrate were mostly from Yanggu. Seeing their fellow villagers in such a state, they dared not go against so many people, so they could only keep retreating.

Soon, the crowd arrived at the entrance of the yamen. More and more people followed behind Wu Song, each of them spontaneously chanting slogans for the death of Ximen Qing and the county magistrate.

The magistrate of Yanggu County was standing at the entrance of the county government office with some soldiers who remained there.

"Wu Song, what are you doing? Are you inciting a peasant uprising? Fellow villagers, do you intend to rebel?"

The magistrate was also horrified by the sight before him.

He had never had such an experience, being able to lead so many people to oppress local officials.

"You jest, sir. Today, Wu Song and all the villagers are simply seeking justice for themselves."

"Didn't Ximen Qing say that I needed evidence to sue him? Well, Your Honor, I now have evidence of Ximen Qing's crimes over the years, as well as evidence of the county magistrate's collusion with Ximen Qing. May I sue him now?"

Wu Song, now in the leading position, shows absolutely no respect for the county magistrate.

"Well done, Chief Wu. Fine, then tell me, what are the specific crimes they committed?"

The magistrate wanted to know what leverage Wu Song had over these two men. When he first came to Yanggu County, he had also wanted to reform the county, but he had never succeeded, so he eventually turned a blind eye. Promoting Wu Song to the rank of head constable was a small, albeit subtle, measure.

But to my surprise, the very constable I promoted has now led his men to storm the government office! If people find out about this incident, he can forget about getting any further promotions.

"Alright! Everyone, take a good look. This is the evidence I found in a secret compartment in Ximen Qing's house! I'll read it to you!"

Wu Song said loudly, and then began to read aloud the crimes of Ximen Qing and the county magistrate!

The more people heard about this, the angrier they became, and the expressions of the surrounding people and the county magistrate changed repeatedly!

"So Ximen Qing was involved in this kind of shady business?"

"Waaaaah, Ximen Qing, give me back my parents' lives!"

"He colluded with the Liao people, that bastard Ximen Qing deserves to die a horrible death!"

The people's anger was rising higher and higher.

The magistrate was also furious! He glared fiercely at the county constable!

"Come on, arrest the county constable!"

I knew you were making money, and you might have used some unethical methods, but I let it slide out of respect for you. But I never imagined you were actually selling out your country for personal gain!

Selling out one's country for personal gain is no small matter!

"It's all fake! It's all fake, sir! Wu Song is slandering me!"

The county constable was naturally unwilling to surrender, and he attempted a final act of resistance!

"It is a taboo for a commoner to sue an official! Your Honor, Wu Song is just an ordinary citizen! His words cannot be trusted!"

"Then explain what he said! What do you have to say? Do you have any evidence to prove that Wu Song is talking nonsense?"

The magistrate looked at the county constable and was furious.

"I……"

The county magistrate was speechless for a moment, unable to say anything, because those things were all true!

"Fellow villagers, what do you think should be done about Ximen Qing and the county magistrate?"

Wu Song ignored the magistrate and continued to ask the people around him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The people's answers were surprisingly unanimous! Perhaps it was because they were emotional after seeing Ximen Qing's head fall to the ground!

Public opinion cannot be defied!

"Alright! Then kill them!"

Wu Song drew his sword again and swung it down. Everyone only saw a flash of cold light, and Ximen Qing's head, as big as a bucket, was severed! It rolled several times on the ground!

His face still bore an expression of disbelief, as if he hadn't expected to be killed so quickly.

Wu Song, didn't you say you were going to cut me more than 130 times before killing me?

You liar!

"Wu Song! Who gave you the right to kill someone! Even if Ximen Qing is guilty, it should be reported to the authorities and he should be executed in the autumn! What are you doing, killing him right here in front of the yamen? Are you provoking the entire yamen?"

The magistrate was stunned upon seeing this. "Wait, are you being this direct now?"

"My lord! Colluding with the Liao Kingdom is a capital offense! Colluding with the Liao Kingdom in addition to human trafficking is an act punishable by immediate execution! No need for execution in the autumn!"

After killing Ximen Qing, Wu Song turned his attention to the county magistrate:

"The mastermind is dead, you should go down and join him!"

Then he quickly approached the county constable, and before he could react, he punched the constable in the stomach, causing the constable to bend over in pain!

Immediately, he kicked the county magistrate to the ground, forced him to kneel, placed his precious sword against his neck, and asked the people present:

"Does this county magistrate deserve to die?!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Whether it's killing one or two, the people were even more excited after Ximen Qing was executed!

"Don't kill me! Wu Song! You can't kill me!"

With a sob in his voice, the county constable quickly begged for mercy, "Before I went there, I already notified our people. If you kill me, someone will avenge me! Please spare me! If you spare me, we'll pretend nothing happened! Okay!"

"Ask these people, do they agree?"

Wu Song's expression remained unchanged as he naturally placed the knife against the county magistrate's neck!

"No! No! No!"

The voices of the common people turned the county constable pale; he seemed to see Ximen Qing beckoning to him!

"Did you hear that? The people won't stand for it, so you'll die too!"

Without hesitation, Wu Song raised his knife and beheaded the county magistrate!

If you say execute immediately, then execute immediately!
