139 Chapter 138 execution
After Hong Luan and e kui entered the courtyard, Dong Lian immediately ordered the city guards to spread out and guard the surroundings of the courtyard. They were constantly monitoring Hong Luan and e kui.
As long as Hong Luan and e kui made any strange movements, they would be noticed immediately.
“f * ck!”
E kui entered the house. As soon as he sat down, he stood up immediately. His expression was extremely unhappy. He had obviously noticed it. are these guys treating us like prisoners? ” They actually sent people to keep watch outside.”
“These unranked martial artists, if this elder really wants to do something, can they stop me with just their strength?”
“you should stop.”
Hong Luan sat down and crossed her legs, revealing a section of her fair and tender calves. Her skin was smooth, white, and full of elasticity. She took a piece of pastry from the table beside her and put it in her mouth to carefully taste it. this pastry tastes good. Do you want to try it? ”
“……”
E kui’s eyes widened.
it’s different now. We can’t mess with Jiang Li anymore. He has a powerful Army and a stage three master.
“Aren’t you very clear about this yourself? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to endure it until now.”
“Hmph!”
I’m not afraid of him, ” e kui said. I’m doing this because of the Deputy chief’s order. I’m not afraid of him.
“Whatever you say.”
Hong Ling shrugged.
On the other side.
Hong Tianqi met up with Xu Ya and the others.
“What happened?”
xu ya asked.
it’s the half-monster alliance. ”
two half-beasts just came, ” Hong Tianqi said. they’re very strong. They’re at least in the late stage of level two, or even the perfected stage.
“He said that he wanted to discuss the trade of medicinal herbs with the city Lord. You also know that the city Lord does need medicinal herbs, otherwise he would not have sent you to various cities.”
also, from their tone, it should be true.
“yes.”
Xu Ya nodded. let’s talk about this after you’ve rested. You’ve been very tired from dealing with the demon race.
“I know,”
that’s why I asked Dong Lian to make arrangements for them, “Hong Tianqi said. let them wait. I don’t think they will dare to play any tricks.
Time passed.
It was evening.
nearly four hundred trucks of resources and items had finally been moved out. not only were the warehouses of the city lord’s mansion filled, but the warehouses of the contribution pavilion were also filled.
even the temporary warehouse was full.
However …
It was only a day’s time, and they couldn’t sort out all these things. Xu Ya and the others sorted out all the spirit herbs and herbs first.
He recorded it into a book.
“my lord,”
at this moment.
Several city guards came over with two skinny men, then kicked them in the knees, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
“What’s going on?”
hu dong frowned.
“What are these two doing?”
Wang Pingyuan asked.
“……”
Hong Tianqi and Xu Ya looked over.
“What happened?”
In the surroundings.
The people gathered around and looked up. They whispered to each other, causing the surroundings to become noisy.
“Silence!”
Han Liqi berated.
“speak, what happened?”
han liqi asked.
reporting to the state Lord, it was these two people who secretly hid many things when no one was paying attention. In the end, we found them.
One of the city guards said.
“Really?”
Han Liqi frowned.
“It’s true.”
The other city guard nodded, then took out a Black Package and placed it on the ground. After opening the package, it contained glittering gold and silver jewelry, which was worth a lot.
Furthermore …
There were also Jade bottles filled with medicinal pills.
“This is the evidence.”
The city guard said.
“This bi an …”
Everyone was stunned.
“It can’t be,”
“They actually did this.”
the city Lord risked his life to go to Red Dragon County and Rob the demon City to get these. They actually hid them.
“Truly detestable.”
“The city Lord has protected the great Xia city and our safety. It’s fine if they don’t know how to be grateful, but they actually did such a thing.”
“Moreover, we also get paid for moving goods, and the pay is not low.”
“Ai, ai, ai, ai.”
In the surroundings.
The voices of many residents were heard.
“Lord great Suan ni, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I won’t do it again. I really won’t do it again. I was just blinded by greed for money. That’s why I did such a foolish thing.”
The man on the left cried.
“We were wrong, we were really wrong.”
The other man also followed suit.
“This bi an …”
han liqi looked at this scene and muttered to himself. for a moment, he could not make a decision.
“Such great courage!”
Hu Dong snorted.
“How dare you steal the spoils of war that the city Lord brought back.”
I think you don’t want to live anymore, “pang kui shouted. did I give you too little money?” Or do you think we’re easy to talk to?”
“Someone, calculate the value of these things.”
Xu Ya said coldly.
“yes.”
a member of the sirius gang walked over and said, ” “Pavilion master, the total value of the gold, silver, and jewelry is 100000 taels. These bottles of pills are worth at least a million taels.”
“a million taels!”
“So many!”
“……”
In the surroundings.
all the residents sucked in a cold breath.
“You guys have good eyes.”
Xu Ya’s cold eyebrows swept.
Pavilion master Xu, we just took it casually. We didn’t know about this!
One of them argued loudly.
“Yes, yes.”
the other person nodded in agreement.
“County Magistrate han, according to the law, how should we sentence him?”
Xu Ya asked.
” you have stolen a million taels of silver from the city lord. according to the laws of the imperial court, you will be locked up for ten years. ”
Said the Han County Lord after a moment of silence.
“Ten years.”
xu ya muttered.
“Why don’t we ask the city Lord before making a decision?”
Wu Zong said.
“There’s no need to imprison him for ten years,”
Suddenly.
Jiang Li’s voice came from nearby.
“It’s the city Lord!”
“Greetings to the city Lord!”
“city lord!”
“……”
Instantly.
let’s go! the people quickly made way. They were very orderly, respectful, and in awe. Jiang Li walked to Xu Ya and the others.
“City Lord!”
han liqi cupped his hands and bowed.
“City Lord, you’ve had a good rest.”
Hu Dong and the others were flattering him.
” city lord, because you have brought back too many resources and items, although we have been working hard, we have only cleared out the spirit herbs. ”
Xu Ya immediately reported to Jiang Li and gave him the record. please have a look.
“No rush.”
Jiang Li waved his hand and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
“City Lord of Chenghuang city.”
The two men’s voices trembled. we were wrong. Please forgive us. We won’t dare to do it again. We really won’t do it again.
“Yes.”
I don’t think so. Jiang Li’s eyes were calm. I believe you won’t dare to do it again.
“……”
The eyes of the two men kneeling on the ground were filled with ecstasy.
“City Lord bi an”
Xu Ya wanted to say something but stopped.
She felt.
If Jiang Li just let them go, it wouldn’t be enough to shock the public. They would be severely punished, at least locked up for ten years.
One had to know.
if there was no punishment for stealing so many things, it would make others feel lucky.
After all …
Money moved people’s hearts.
Perhaps they didn’t dare to hide too much, but they would at least hide a little.
At that time.
This one stole a little, that one stole a little, and it was a complete mess.
“Thank you, city Lord. Thank you, city Lord.”
The two of them were overjoyed. They thought that they had escaped. They knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Li.
“The city Lord is really magnanimous.”
“I can even forgive them for this.”
“If it was me, I would definitely break their hands.”
“……”
The people were discussing in low voices.
“Give me the gun.”
okay. Jiang Li asked a firearm mech to come over and give him the pistol.
Kachaa!
Jiang Li opened the safety, raised his hand, and pointed the gun at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two gunshots were extremely clear and loud. Everyone present could hear it and could not help but shiver as if their hearts had missed a beat.
Silence!
everyone was silent!
The discussion just now suddenly disappeared, leaving only the lingering sound of the gunshot echoing in everyone’s ears.
pfft! Pfft!
Two blazing red-hot bullets easily pierced through the foreheads of the two men kneeling on the ground. They shot out from the back of their heads, and the residual power of the bullets left two small pits on the ground.
Plop!
The two bodies fell to the ground.
Fresh blood flowed out.
There was a faint smell of blood.
“Gulp!”
everyone swallowed their saliva.
“If I die, I naturally won’t dare to do it again, and I won’t ever do it again.”
I’m sorry, “Jiang Li said calmly as he looked at the two bodies on the ground. He then gave the pistol back to the firearm mech.
“……”
In the surroundings.
Everyone looked at Jiang Li in awe. Those who were still thinking were scared out of their minds and their faces turned pale.
“This bi an …”
Han Liqi opened his mouth but did not say anything.
if you encounter such a thing again, just do what I did just now. There’s no need to inform me. No matter who it is or what reason they have, it can’t be a reason.
Jiang Li glanced at Xu Ya, han Liqi, Hong Tianqi, and the others and said slowly.
“yes!”
“We’ll remember this!”
“Yes, sir!”
Han Liqi and the others shouted.
“Yes.”
jiang li nodded with satisfaction and reached out his hand to xu ya. ” give me the booklet that records the medicinal herbs and spirit herbs. Where are the medicinal herbs that you’ve arranged? ”
“City Lord, all the ordinary herbs are currently stored in the warehouse of the city Lord’s mansion. Because there are too many ordinary herbs, the warehouse has been filled to the brim.”
so, “Xu Ya replied,” I made the decision to build a few temporary warehouses.
“Alright, I got it.”
okay. Jiang Li nodded and took the book. you can continue with your work.
“Yes!”
Xu Ya responded.
“City Lord of Chenghuang city.”
Hong Tianqi immediately caught up with him.
“is there something?”
jiang li stopped and turned around.
city Lord, two half-monsters entered the city this afternoon. They claimed to be from the half-monster Alliance and wanted to discuss the trade of medicinal herbs with you, ” the man said.
” i don’t know, ” hong tianqi said quickly. ” you’re still resting, so i let them in. they’re staying in the yard of eagle claw hall of the sirius gang. ”
Half-monster Alliance.
I can’t believe it. Jiang Li murmured with joy in his eyes. these two are our honored guests. Of course, the premise is that they are really here to trade medicinal herbs.
