Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 124 Beheading in public display
"Everyone, Yuqing County is the master of the nine counties and the core of the nine counties. If we want the nine counties to be peaceful, Yuqing County must play a role."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "I can be honest with you. I also practice the way of God. I came here for merit and for promotion. If anyone wants to block my way, think about how big the hatred is."

The leaders of all the major gangs and families shuddered.

If Jiang Yue said this, the matter would be too serious.

Ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. In the Great Zhou, because officials enjoy good fortune, promotion in officialdom is extremely important to many cultivators. There are many people who will do anything to get promotion.

The official career and the road to success are basically tied together.

If Jiang Yue's official career is blocked, the hatred will be too great.

"Do you understand?"

Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice.

The officials in the Wentang and the heads of the noble families all nodded and said in unison: "Understood!"

Seeing that these local bullies had behaved themselves, Jiang Yue nodded with satisfaction. He sat on the main seat in the court, holding his three-pointed, double-edged sword and waiting quietly.

Xiaotian squatted beside Jiang Yue and stuck out his tongue, and the breath he exhaled turned into a white mist in the cold air.

The court fell into silence again.

However, there were sparks of war in the city. The huge Lu family, the Mi Gang and the Yu Gang were all ransacked overnight, and all their direct relatives and gang members were thrown into jail.

Tread-tap-

The ten patrol flags hurried back to the yamen hall and bowed to report: "Sir Jiang, the people from the Lu family, the rice gang, and the fishing gang have all been arrested and brought to justice. They are now in jail awaiting interrogation."

"Bring them here one by one for interrogation."

Jiang Yue gave an order, then looked at Yuan Qinghuan and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, thank you for your trouble. Please control the moral laws and assist Jiang in the interrogation."

"Master Jiang, please don't be polite about what should be done."

Yuan Qinghuan nodded slightly without saying much. He just paced around the court for a while and then issued a moral decree.

Next, the direct blood relatives of the Lu family, members of the Mi Gang and the Yu Gang, as well as Qiong Yuan, Yuan Qinghai and others were brought to the government court one by one and interrogated by Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue had faced the Moral Law before, and knew that it could only detect whether someone was lying, so he asked very sharp questions, and only allowed the prisoners to answer yes or no, so that he could make the best use of the Moral Law.

There were a large number of suspects, and Jiang Yue patiently interrogated them one by one. By the time he finished questioning everyone, it was already early morning of the next day.

The hazy early morning fog enveloped the entire Yuqing County.

After a whole night of interrogation, the suspects confessed the existence of several special forces in the pawnbroker business, as well as a group of pirates from the surrounding area called Qingyu Village. Apart from the pirates, everyone in the city was arrested.

As for the entire Lu family, except for young children and female relatives, all of them had colluded with the demons and were guilty of the death penalty. The Fishing Gang and the Rice Gang had extensive collusion with the water demons and even did many things that the Lu family didn't know about. More than a dozen core gang members and the gang leader were also sentenced to death.

Yuan Qinghai and Qiongyuan couldn't escape either.

Outside the court, all those who were convicted had their cultivation abolished. Yuan Qinghai, Qiongyuan, Lushou Chong, and the leaders of the Rice and Fishing Gangs were all taken into prison vans, while others were tied up with chains and tied together with small flags.

All eyes were focused on Jiang Yue, quietly waiting for Jiang Yue's order.

"Parade through the streets and behead at Caishikou at noon."

Jiang Yue waved his hand.

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

The ten flag bearers under his command bowed and accepted the order, while the others all stared with their eyes wide open. Although they already knew that Jiang Yue was going to kill people this time to suppress all forces in Yuqing County, they were still shocked now that it was finally confirmed.

Yuan Qinghuan looked at Jiang Yue in a daze, and felt that if he were in Jiang Yue's position, he might not be able to be so decisive.

As soon as the new official took office, he cut the Gordian knot and took complete control of Yuqing County overnight.

At a glance, there were actually hundreds of people in this group, all of them were famous figures in Yuqing County, but what awaited them was parading through the streets and being executed at Caishikou.

Lu Yang, who was beside Jiang Yue, had already written a notice and posted it in front of the county government office. He also called in a few scholars from the library and ordered them to read the notice to the people.

The general meaning is that Yuan Qinghai, Qiongyuan, Lu Family, Rice Gang, and Fishing Gang are colluding with demons, and have been uncovered by the newly appointed mountain patrol officer Jiang Yue. There is a lot of gratitude and exaggeration in the words towards Jiang Yue.

After finishing the manifesto, Lu Yang asked again, "Sir, please let me follow Xiaoqi and lead them through the streets to show them to the public, so that we can explain to the people what is going on."

"Well, that's very good. If the people want it, it will be easier to get things done."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly to show his agreement.

At the hour of Mao, ten flag bearers and many constables began to escort the prisoners out of the yamen. At this time, many people had gathered outside the yamen, looking at the notice and talking about it. There were also several officials explaining the contents of the notice.

The prisoners were escorted out and immediately attracted the attention of the people.

"Hiss—Isn't that Master Yuan Qinghai? How did he become a dried human?"

"There is also the leader of the Fishing Gang, the leader of the Rice Gang, and the Lu family!"

"And Captain Qin and Captain Song"

"Oh my God, have they really committed the heinous crime of colluding with the devil as the notice says?"

"."

The people walked lightly, following the parade.

Lu Yang stood beside the prisoner car and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, Yuan Qinghai, Lu Shouchong, Qiongyuan, together with the Lu family, the rice gang, and the fishing gang, colluded with the demons, raped women, and sent human food to the demons. They have been punished by the newly appointed Jiangyue General Flag!"

"These beasts will be paraded through the streets and then beheaded at the market gate!"

"Our new general, Lord Jiang Yuejiang, is very strict with anyone who colludes with demons. He has sentenced all those who collude with demons to death, regardless of public opinion!"

Lu Yang spoke loudly, repeating it over and over again without getting tired of it, explaining the reason for the matter to every new citizen who joined in, and he praised Jiang Yue with many words. Gradually, an image of a cold-faced, selfless man who was dedicated to the people emerged in the hearts of the people.

However, whenever the words "Jiang Yue went against the majority opinion" were mentioned, the corners of the mouths of the leading small flags would twitch unconsciously.

Well. More than a dozen yamen runners and constables had their arms cut off. Yuan Qinghai, who wanted to resist, had his limbs chopped off. This could be considered as "force" against all odds. Anyway, no one in the yamen court raised any objections.

Parading through the streets is extremely humiliating.

After touring Yuqing County, Yuan Qinghai and the others' heads were covered with rotten vegetable leaves and smelly fish meat soaked by the flood.

As for good things like eggs, people naturally would not use them to hit others.

There were curses everywhere, and some people were crying bitterly because their children were persecuted by these people.

Until all people were escorted to the vegetable market, they lined up in a long queue. There were more than a hundred people who were usually well-known in Yuqing County. Now they all had their heads hung down, their bodies covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and they looked extremely haggard.

Jiang Yue strode over, having changed into a pure black official uniform. On his chest were embroidered a falcon and a fierce dog, with the eagle and the dog intertwined. There were also two cloud patterns on his chest, which made him look quite imposing.

"My fellow citizens."

Jiang Yue pressed down with both hands, and the sound was enhanced by his qi and blood, and the bustling vegetable market immediately became quiet.

"I am Jiang Yue, the new chief patrol officer, in charge of all matters in the nine counties of Siti Peak."

Jiang Yue's voice was full of magnetism, inexplicably calming people's hearts: "Jiang came here for only three reasons. The first is to eliminate the demons, and the second is to quell the floods. After these two things are completed, the third is to ensure that the people of the nine counties of Yuqing can live in peace, so that they will not be eaten by demons or harmed by the powerful! In simple terms, it is to ensure that everyone can afford to eat and raise children!"

The people were moved when they heard this. They didn't understand the truth, but being able to afford food and raise children was the lifelong wish of countless people. If anyone could help them do this, they would follow him.

As for this world where great power belongs to oneself, it is a question of where the power of incense and vows belongs to.

"These beasts, in high positions, have colluded with demons, raped women, and trafficked people. Their virtues are unworthy of their positions, and their earthen cauldrons are thundering."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Today, I, Jiang, will use these heads to make a promise to all the elders and villagers of Yuqing County. From now on, under my rule, I will never allow such things to happen again!"

Hearing this, the people became even more excited and the crowd became restless.

"Thank you, Lord Jiang. Wuwuwu - my little girl was abducted by the Mi Gang beast, toyed with by Yuan Qinghai, and finally eaten by the demon."

"The same thing happened to my little daughter. She was helping with fishing, but she was caught by the beasts from the fishing gang."

"Master Jiang is so powerful! Thank you Master Jiang for avenging me!"

"."

Jiang Yue listened to the people's words of gratitude and took a quick look. He found that there were hundreds of people expressing their gratitude.

Children from hundreds of families were harmed!
This is a staggering number, not to mention that these are the survivors. There are countless others whose entire families were harmed.

Jiang Yue thought of the files of Yuqing County. Before the 24th year of Yongjia, in the nearly 30 years, there were only a few files about demons and cannibals.

Is it true that there are no demons? Are the demons now attracted by the ruins in the water?
Totally impossible!
It was Yuan Qinghai and others who covered up all the incidents of demons injuring and eating people. After a flood in the 24th year of Yongjia, more and more people saw demons eating people, and the matter could not be covered up, so more and more files were filed.

A full thirty years!

Thirty years of darkness have now ended. One can imagine how excited these people are and how grateful they are to Jiang Yue.

"Someone come! Kill!"

Jiang Yue's face turned pale and he gave an order.

"Yes!"

The ten small flags obeyed the order, stepped forward with long swords in hand, acted as executioners, and beheaded them one by one.

Yuan Qinghai and others, who were originally somewhat numb, began to beg for mercy again, and their desire to live was stimulated, but it was too late, and their heads were chopped off one by one.

Blood flowed everywhere, gathering into bloody streams at Caishikou.

The smell of blood instantly rose up, but the cheers of the people became louder, and they all shouted out Jiang Yue's might.

As for those who had cultivation, whether they were warriors or Shinto monks, their expressions changed slightly.

Tough attitude, super strength, and ruthless means, this is the first impression many officials from both the civil and military halls of Yuqing County have of their new boss Jiang Yue.

Things are about to change in Yuqing County.

Will this newly appointed chief of mountain patrols die at the hands of evil spirits, or will he transform Yuqing County forever?
Everything is uncertain.

But judging from his current actions, Jiang Yue is indeed much more resourceful than the previous patrol chiefs. At least he looks like someone who wants to do something.

After killing everyone, Jiang Yue took out the mountain patrol token and sent a message to Pei Hu, while taking a picture of the scene.

"Master Pei, the officials, families, gangs and demons from Yuan Qinghai, Qiongyuan and Lu Shouchong in Yuqing County colluded with each other, defiled women and colluded with demons. The evidence is irrefutable. All of them will be beheaded, a total of 103 people."

After saying this, Jiang Yue took the mountain patrol token and went home.

Ten small flagmen maintained order, held up the heads and allowed the people to insult them, and they would not burn all the bodies until dark.
-
Back in the government hall, Jiang Yue sat in the main seat.

Although he didn't sleep all night, Jiang Yue's energy was not affected at all. Although he didn't practice the way of the gods, with his current strength, it was nothing to sleep once every two days.

Yuan Qinghuan sat below, and officials from the civil and military halls sat on both sides. They were all very quiet, not saying a word, and listened quietly to Jiang Yue's decision.

With so many seats vacant, we have to make a decision, right?

Jiang Yue didn't say anything as he was waiting for Pei Hu's reply.

Time ticked by, and the small flags came back after burning the bodies. Lu Yang also came back. Everyone stood in the court, quietly waiting for Jiang Yue to speak.

The token on Jiang Yue's waist finally flashed, and Pei Hu's voice appeared in Jiang Yue's ears.

“Good to kill.”

Pei Hu only replied with two words.

Jiang Yue continued to transmit his voice: "Master Pei, after killing so many people, many official positions have been vacated, especially those in the Wentang. These..."

"You can't appoint someone to the Wentang position. You have to go through the formalities of the prefectural government office."

Pei Hu interrupted Jiang Yue and said in a deep voice: "Give me the names you need for the Wentang and I will go through the procedures for you. As for the Wutang, you can make your own decision. The bigwigs in the capital are all eyeing the nine counties, so just let go and do whatever you want. Don't worry about it. The rules are for the weak. If you can do something good, you don't need to follow the rules."

"it is good."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and put away the mountain patrol token.

He looked around, looked at Yuan Qinghuan, then looked at Lu Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yang, I appoint you as the chief of the Wentang Administration Department of Yuqing County. The official seal and the official seal will be delivered to the government office tomorrow. The position of the chief clerk of the Administration Department is vacant, you choose someone to take up the post."

"Sir, Lu Yang is willing to take on the role concurrently."

Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes, feeling that Lu Yang was shameless. However, thinking about the huge achievements that would be made once the nine counties of Yuqing were well governed, if they were in Lu Yang's position, they would also do their best to climb up.

"can."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and passed Lu Yang's name and position to Pei Hu. After a while, he received Pei Hu's message.

"All official seals and uniforms will be delivered tomorrow."

"it is good."

Jiang Yue nodded, looked at Lu Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yang, you are the head of the Political Department and also the chief clerk. You will assist me in managing the affairs of Yuqing County and help me share my worries. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Yang nodded quickly.

Jiang Yue then looked in the direction of the people in the martial arts hall and said in a deep voice: "There will be no more new police officers and runners in the martial arts hall. You will patrol your own areas day and night to ensure that there are no demons in the city. If there are demons in the city, report them immediately."

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Everyone in the martial arts hall nodded.

"Alright, everyone, please leave. The ten flag bearers, Lu Yang, and Yuan Qinghuan will stay."

Jiang Yue waved his hand, and everyone took a deep breath and gradually dispersed. They only felt that Jiang Yue's awe-inspiring power was apparent without him getting angry, and they subconsciously obeyed Jiang Yue's orders.

Soon, only Jiang Yue, Yuan Qinghuan, Lu Yang, and ten small flags were left in the court hall.

As for the five small flag officers who neglected their duties, they are still in prison. Jiang Yue plans to temper their tempers and release them tomorrow.
