393: My words are the rules, don't you agree?
Holy crap!
The major powers in Liangan County City were stunned, trembling with fear.
Chu Jiang forced Liu Wuqing to kneel and then immediately executed him. Liu Wuqing was merely considering his options, but Chu Jiang didn't even give him a chance to think.
Liu Wuqing is the younger brother of Liu Qing, the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner. He's practically a half-royal relative. Isn't Chu Jiang afraid of offending Wu Ling King?
On the city wall, everyone was discussing animatedly.
“Damn it, even before Chu Jiang came to the Three Prefectures, there were rumors that he was decisive, ruthless, and unrestrained. Even if a passing dog displeased him, it would get a few slaps. We thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems… it was an understatement!”
“Arrogant, overbearing, drawing his sword and cutting people down at the slightest disagreement, completely disregarding the identity of the person in front of him!”
For a time, all the powers were terrified.
They were not only terrified of his unrestrained and murderous personality.
They were also extremely surprised by his strength.
Liu Wuqing was not only the strongest person in Liangan County, but also the second strongest in the Yuezhou Demon Suppression Division, a Qiankun Nine cultivator.
He couldn't even withstand one strike from Chu Jiang.
His strength was truly abnormal.
It's no wonder he acted this way; he not only had the authority to oversee the military and political power of the Three Prefectures granted by the Chu Emperor, but also possessed Peak martial prowess.
“Come here!”
Chu Jiang gestured to Commander Zheng.
“Your this official, greetings to Lord Marquis Chu…”
Commander Zheng looked at the head that had rolled to the side, feeling greatly pleased. This cancer that had plagued Liangan County was finally removed.
Chu Jiang: “Liu Wuqing harmed the nation and disturbed the people. This this official dismisses him from his position as Centurion. From now on, you are the Centurion of Liangan County.”
The Three Prefectures were in chaos, with countless corrupt this officials. After killing Liu Wuqing, someone naturally needed to fill the void.
Although he didn't know Commander Zheng's character, he wasn't on the blacklist of hundreds of names, so he was barely usable.
He wanted to suppress the chaos in the Three Prefectures as quickly as possible.
He didn't have the time to kill one person and immediately find someone to replace him.
These vacancies should be filled by imperial court this officials.
“Thank you for Lord Marquis Chu’s promotion!”
Commander Zheng's face lit up with joy. He cupped his hands and bowed, hastily expressing his gratitude. He did not decline; to bring about change for Liangan County and Yue Province, he needed power.
“Lord Marquis Chu, this doesn’t seem to follow the rules, does it?”
Among the crowd, a Centurion raised a question.
“That’s right, although you have the power to dismiss this officials, the appointment of a new Centurion should be decided by the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner!”
Another Centurion also began to speak, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Even if Liu Wuqing was killed, the position of Centurion should not fall to Commander Zheng. Among those present, some Centurion were superior to him in both seniority and strength.
“Rules? This this official’s words are the rules. Disagree? Hold it in!”
“Now, this this official suspects that you two are Liu Wuqing’s accomplices. Your positions are suspended. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, arrest them and interrogate them severely!”
Chu Jiang said indifferently.
“Yes!”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu nodded and instantly captured the two.
“You…”
The two Centurion were furious.
Good heavens!
Everyone was startled again.
These two were merely questioning, yet Chu Jiang treated them as accomplices and had them arrested on the spot!
Everyone also gained a new understanding of Chu Jiang's arrogance and domineering nature.
They reached a consensus without prior discussion.
This person must never be provoked.
He constantly spoke of treason and colluding with demons.
It made people both surprised and afraid, and the key was that you couldn't find fault with him.
Chu Jiang continued: “Impale Liu Wuqing’s corpse through the shoulder blades and parade him through the streets!”
Subsequently.
Several Demon Suppression Guards immediately dismounted. A dead person, naturally, didn't need a spirit-locking chain. They casually pulled out an iron chain and hooked it through Liu Wuqing’s shoulder blades.
“Enter the city!”
The Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army followed behind Chu Jiang, entering the city one after another.
The people on the city wall saw the army entering the city, and their lips trembled.
“Oh my god!”
“They’re not even letting him off after death; they’re parading him through the streets!”
Everyone sighed, wondering if Liu Wuqing would have acted so arrogantly earlier if he had known that he would not only die today but also be desecrated after death.
“This act will likely completely offend the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner and even incur the displeasure of Wu Ling King!”
“You’re thinking too much. Wu Ling King has always cherished his reputation. Let alone Liu Wuqing, even if Liu Qing were caught with a handle, Wu Ling King would abandon him without hesitation, not even giving him a glance!”
Wu Prefecture was Wu Ling King’s foundation. Even if Yue and Lan Prefectures were engulfed in floods, he wouldn't care.
As the army entered the city.
There were also several spirit horses dragging several gruesome human figures.
“Wait, I recognize one of those three people; he’s the Third Chieftain of the Soul Severing Mountain Range, Ghost Face Scholar!”
“Damn it, my sister, who served as an Elder in the Jade Stream Sect, was captured and brutally defiled by this beast!”
“You die!”
A young man picked up a stone from the roadside and violently threw it at Ghost Face Scholar’s face.
Smack!
“Ah…”
Ghost Face Scholar screamed, damn it, he had just barely recovered, cursed.
“What, so it was this scoundrel!”
Whether it was the major powers or ordinary commoners, their faces were spitting fire, wishing they could devour him alive.
The Third Chieftain of the Soul Severing Mountain Range, Ghost Face Scholar, was infamous not only in Yue Province but throughout the entire Three Prefectures.
He had killed countless people, shattered countless families, and harmed countless good people.
“Hit him!”
For a time.
All sorts of pebbles, branches, shoe soles, and miscellaneous items were thrown at him.
The Demon Suppression Guard did not stop them; instead, they deliberately slowed down. After all, Lord Shao Si left these three with their dog lives precisely to let them endure endless torment.
Seeing that the Demon Suppression Guard had no intention of stopping them, everyone’s actions became more vigorous, and the things they threw became even more exaggerated.
“Dog thief, do you still remember Zeng Danu of the Green Mountain Sect? You massacred my Sect and snatched my Senior Sister…”
A middle-aged man roared.
Ghost Face Scholar: Sorry, I really don't know him.
Over the years, he had massacred no less than eighty or a hundred forces, and the bodies of the commoners he killed could pile up into mountains.
The middle-aged man saw Ghost Face Scholar’s innocent eyes, and his anger immediately flared. He somehow produced a pile of cow dung and violently threw it into Ghost Face Scholar’s mouth: “Eat shit!”
Ugh!
Ghost Face Scholar retched, his face pale. Before he could recover, the second wave of dog dung army had already arrived.
Ghost Scythe, who was beside him, saw Ghost Face Scholar’s miserable state and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Most of the tasks assigned by the higher-ups were handled by Ghost Face Scholar, with a little benefit given to him.
There were still benefits; now all the hatred and firepower were attracted to him.
He could suffer a little less.
“Everyone, don’t just focus on Ghost Face Scholar. There are two others here.”
“One is the First Chieftain, Ghost Scythe, and the other is the Second Chieftain, Purple-Faced Fiend. Neither of them is good, and none of them should be let off!”
Someone shouted, and instantly, a large number of physical attacks, as well as mental attacks, were directed at the three of them.
“These three don’t seem to have any balls. Awesome, brothers, aim carefully!”
Someone let out a sinister laugh.
They directly threw stones violently at the three men's crotches. Within a dozen breaths, the three screamed repeatedly, their lower bodies bloody and mangled, gushing blood.
The three were on the verge of tears. They couldn't die, yet they couldn't live.
Falling into Chu Jiang's hands was truly eight lifetimes of bad luck.
They couldn't even find release.
Half an hour later.
Chu Jiang finished patrolling the streets and left from the north of the city, not intending to stay in the County City.
If it weren't for Liu Wuqing in Liangan County, his first stop should have been Yue Province City, not only because Yue Province had the most corrupt this officials.
The key was that the Demon Suppression Prison in Yue Province must have held many demons.
If he killed them all, it would be a nice extra income.
Chu Jiang lightly patted the Fire Kirin and said coldly:
“Depart, Yue Province City!”
“Yes!”
The four-thousand-strong army moved at the command, like heavenly soldiers and generals, rising from the ground and flying into the sky.
In a blink of an eye, they disappeared into the horizon.
