Chapter 417 Behead!
Chapter 417 Behead!
"this……!?"
When the man in the official robe saw Jiang Chen take out the sword, his face suddenly changed!
This should be the legendary sword bestowed by His Majesty... the sword that can kill first and report later!
"My Lord, I...I closed the city gates because I was afraid that there would be too many refugees from all over the place, which would affect the situation in the county."
"so……"
"Shh!"
Before the man in the official robe could finish his words, Jiang Chen drew his sword and put it on his neck!
"My Lord... My Lord, please spare my life!"
The man in the official robe looked at the sword blade with a cold glow and knelt on the ground in a hurry!
"Haha, you just said that you were worried that too many refugees would affect the situation in the city!"
"Then don't the refugees outside the city fall under the jurisdiction of you, the county magistrate?"
"Also, the people in your city are a bit too few!"
"Say!"
"Did you drive all the people out of the city?"
"Only these obedient ones are left to perform for you!?"
Jiang Chen stared coldly at the man in the official robe and questioned!
"me……"
The man in the official robes stammered and was unable to speak.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he immediately turned his gaze towards the commander of the yamen runners!
"Do you know the situation?!"
"Pfft!"
The leader of the yamen runners was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground!
"My Lord, I...I..."
"Think it over first. This corrupt official who is just pretending to be corrupt is destined to die!"
"Are you going to accompany him?!"
Jiang Chen said coldly.
"No no no!"
When the chief of the yamen runners heard this, he hurriedly said, "My Lord, those people were driven out by the corrupt official's order!"
"He also ordered us to guard the city gates and not let those refugees in!"
"If the refugees come close, let us shoot arrows to drive them away!"
"My Lord, we didn't do this voluntarily. He forced us to do it!"
……
"Yes, yes, yes! He forced us to do it!"
"Master Hou, please spare my life!"
"My Lord, this corrupt official even embezzled the disaster relief grain!"
"My Lord, he is a corrupt official!"
"My Lord, there is a cellar in his backyard, and there is a lot of food hidden in it!"
"Master Hou!"
As the leader of the yamen runners spoke, the other yamen runners hurriedly started to reveal the information!
After a while, the underwear of the man in official robes was pulled out!
"You...you bastards..."
The man in official robes gritted his teeth in anger!
He didn't expect that after just one encounter, his so-called confidants would betray him!
"My Lord, please listen to my explanation, my Lord..."
"puff!"
The man in the official robe wanted to continue speaking, but before he could finish, Jiang Chen had already cut the man's throat with a sword!
"Sir, I...I..." The man in the official robe looked unwilling.
But in the end he fell to the ground!
"this……!?"
The surrounding people and yamen runners were all dumbfounded!
This is a high and mighty county magistrate!
Now... now he was actually killed just like that! ?
"Han Peng!"
"The general is here!"
Following Jiang Chen's call, Han Peng hurried out!
"I'll give you two hundred elite soldiers to search the county magistrate's house!"
"I will obey your orders!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Han Peng left respectfully!
"You are Commander Wang, right?"
Jiang Chen looked at the chief of the yamen runners.
"Your Excellency, I... I am..."
Commander Wang said tremblingly.
"Oh well!"
"I now order you to be in charge of disaster relief in this county!"
"All the money seized from the county magistrate's home will be given to you to manage!"
"I have only one request!"
"From today on, the people around this county will not starve to death!"
"otherwise!"
……
"Little man obeys!"
"The villain will definitely do it!"
"We must do it!"
Commander Wang said tremblingly.
Killing a county magistrate in Jingyuan is like killing a chicken!
What's more, he is just a low-ranking leader of the Yamen runners! ?
"Well, do it well."
"If you do it well and prevent your Lordship from reporting it to the court, you may be the magistrate of this county in the future!"
"Remember, I will do whatever you do!"
"But, the people, cannot die again!"
"Otherwise! He will be a warning to you!"
Jiang Chen said, pointing at the man in official robes on the ground!
"Yes!"
"The villain will definitely do it!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Commander Wang was boiling with excitement!
He is already thirty-six years old!
I thought this was how my life would be!
But now it seems that this is not the case!
He...as long as he provides good disaster relief, he can be promoted to county magistrate!
That's a quick success!
This is pie in the sky!
"go a head!"
"I believe in you!"
"By the way, drop the body of this corrupt official at the city gate as a warning to others!"
"Little man obeys!"
When Commander Wang heard Jiang Chen's words, he hurried to do it!
After Commander Wang left, Xu Meng looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled look.
"My Lord, this Commander Wang is not a good guy at first glance."
"He first colluded with the corrupt official, and then betrayed him."
"You asked him to provide disaster relief..."
"Haha, Brother Xu, don't worry."
"This kind of person's disaster relief efforts might have miraculous effects!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
He has now given Commander Wang the opportunity to rise to fame overnight.
How could Commander Wang not fight for his life?!
As long as we can survive this disaster.
After that, whether Commander Wang is dead or alive, isn’t it just a matter of Jiang Chen’s words?
……
After making these arrangements, Jiang Chen did not leave the county.
Instead, he settled down here.
And, the stay lasted for three days.
During these three days, Jiang Chen has been in the county town checking the disaster relief situation.
At the same time, people were sent to spread the news that a large amount of disaster relief grain would be purchased!
And this news, together with the news that Jiang Chen had killed the county magistrate, quickly spread throughout Jiangnan!
Especially Jinling County!
"What!? That Jiang Chen really dares to kill someone!?"
"Isn't it! It is said that when they met, he killed a county magistrate!"
"That County Magistrate Xue died miserably! He was killed before he could even say anything!"
"Oh, what shall we do?"
"This Jiang Chen is a devil!"
The officials of Jinling County were trembling with fear.
Even the originally calm and collected prefect of Jinling County panicked!
"This Jiang Chen is so brave!"
"You just arrived in our Jinling County and you're already killing people!?"
"Do you really think that we in Jinling County are easy to bully?!"
The county magistrate said coldly.
"My Lord, what are you going to do?"
"Sir, don't be impulsive. He is an imperial envoy and has two thousand guards protecting him. He is not easy to deal with!"
"My lord, what should we do?"
A group of officials were talking at once.
After hearing these words, the county magistrate calmed down a little.
Not bad.
Jiang Chen is not easy to deal with!
Just talking about those two thousand guards, they cannot be easily dealt with!
But if Jiang Chen is so arrogant and they don't stop him, how are they going to deal with him in the future?!
"Have it!"
