Chapter 158: Boping Marquis Yang An (Third update)

Once the cut-word order was signed, the document suddenly changed.

All the names on the list turned scarlet, and then these names were distorted and turned into ashes and dissipated.

This is not an ordinary document, but a Life Disc!

Zhao Xing signed this order, which is equivalent to removing these people from the Fortune Dynasty system.

"Ah, why did I fall to the Eighth Rank realm?"

"Puchi~ my bones, bones are broken!"

"Silver bones retreated to iron bones, I was stripped of my official position!"

"Hahaha, it turns out this is my own strength."

"Blood energy is not smooth, returning to the dynasty, is this returning to the dynasty?"

On the square, the criminals brought over were suddenly agitated.

Some people have already discovered that their realm has fallen, and even martial arts and martial skills have degenerated.

Some even became white-haired and wrinkled in this moment.

Fortune Dynasty, this is the Fortune Dynasty!

If Zhao Xing knew the Qi-watching method, he could see that the 1366 people in the square had a 'Qi' drawn away, hovering in the sky and condensing.

Since the imperial court can bestow blessings, it can also take them back. Whether it is realm or lifespan, once completely removed from the Fortune Dynasty system, people will be beaten back to their original shape.

Usually, this process is more miserable. Whether it is a warrior or a spellcaster, the foundation laid by the imperial court and the house given to you, if you remove a beam, or even pull out half of the foundation, the final result is more than just being beaten back to the original shape?

So if you commit a serious crime and reach the point of being removed from the Fortune Dynasty system, it is basically no different from death, unless it is like Zhao Xing, every step is cultivated by himself, as long as the fortune and lifespan increase effects.

Then even if you are stripped of your official position in the future, it will not have much impact on your own strength, at least not as miserable as these criminals in the square.

"I want to see the Marquis, I want to see the Marquis!"

"Why, I am a Seventh-Rank military general, why is there no chance to atone for my sins?!"

"Just embezzled a few tens of thousands of taels, and you want to kill me?"

"Marquis, Marquis, I am not convinced!"

Many people in the square, seeing the large-scale realm regression and black hair turning white, suddenly had a premonition and struggled frantically.

In the hall, Qiu Mingyi looked at Zhao Xing signing the cut-word order without hesitation, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

The Inspection Division needs such talent!

And Zhao Xing is not a reckless man, signing the cut-word order with a hot head.

Qiu Mingyi set up tests multiple times in front, first asking how many people to deal with, implying that he had the power to hide some numbers, and then saying that they were people of the Divine Might Army, and could be dealt with lightly.

It can be said that Zhao Xing signing this order had no one to rely on.

What he relied on was only 'law', and the crackdown wind of this imperial court.

If Zhao Xing were a hotheaded youth, a spineless worm, lacking in courage or political intuition, it would be very difficult to make this decision.

A trace of brilliance flashed in Qiu Mingyi’s eyes, he stood up and reached out, "Please go to supervise the execution, Grand Inspector."

Holding the Grand Inspector’s order, he is the Grand Inspector. Zhao Xing was originally a decoration, but now Qiu Mingyi is very appreciative, and even calls Zhao Xing the Grand Inspector, which is enough to prove his appreciation for Zhao Xing.

"In that case, the subordinate will be bold and supervise the execution for Lord Qiu." Zhao Xing held the order arrow and stepped on the clouds to above the square.

Things have been done, so they must be done to the end, done beautifully.

How can small crimes enter the eyes of the Soldier Realm intelligence department?

So the people on the list, 30% are heavy crimes, 70% are death crimes!

Zhao Xing judging death crimes is completely fine.

Long Xiao was full of grief, but at this moment he still appeared behind Zhao Xing. He didn't dare to look down, because those were familiar faces.

"Long Xiao? You, why are you here."

"Grand Inspector order? Who is this person, he is not Qiu Mingyi!"

"I know, he seems to be Zhao Xing."

"Zhao Xing? Isn't he the genius agricultural official of my Divine Might Army?"

"This, he received the inspection task? Is he the one who wants us to die?"

"Long Xiao, you scoundrel, you betrayed your brothers!"

"Long Xiao, quickly plead for your brothers, have you forgotten the years we fought side by side?"

Zhao Xing turned a deaf ear, his face unchanged. He held the order arrow and shouted: "Quiet!"

The order arrow temporarily gave him the Ritualist power of speaking the law.

At this time, he cast a silence spell, and the square suddenly became silent.

"You are military generals, you should stop fighting with martial arts, defend the country and protect the people."

"Now you have committed many evil deeds, burning, killing, and looting, bullying the people and harming the country, it is too numerous to record!"

"Even if there were merits before, they also enjoyed the blessings of the imperial court."

"Merit is merit, crime is crime."

"Today, this official judges you to be a death crime according to the Great Zhou Law!"

"Execute immediately!"

Zhao Xing threw the order sign down.

As the order sign fell, the sky over the entire square seemed to collapse. The 'Qi' originally condensed above the sky was now like a mountain, falling down.

As long as the order sign lands, these people will die instantly without pain.

But at this moment—

"Wait!"

A low voice came from afar. Zhao Xing turned his head and looked.

He saw a figure in green armor, wrapped in the power of heaven and earth, descending rapidly to the Inspection Division square.

Below the cut-word order sign, a green dragon giant claw appeared, forcibly lifting it up again.

"Canglong probes the claw! This is the Boping Marquis coming."

"Yang An, he really came."

Zhao Xing was quite disappointed in his heart.

If Yang An protected even one person today, his impression in his heart would be greatly reduced. If he pardoned everyone, Zhao Xing would have to discuss changing places with Wei Yuan tomorrow.

"Pay respects to the Divine Might General."

The inspection envoys and the crowd in the God Temple, including the soldiers who followed, all bowed.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing also bowed.

Yang An was very young, with fair skin and red lips, a high-bridged nose, and a very handsome appearance. If he weren't wearing a suit of cyan battle armor, stepping in military boots, and carrying a great sword on his back, but instead changed into fine robes, he would be a dashing young master; one could not tell at all that he was the commander in charge of an army.

At this time, everyone called him 'Divine Might General', not Boping Marquis.

Because the former is an official position, the latter is a title. Generally, they are called Marquis in private, and they must be called Divine Might General on formal occasions.

Beside him was a middle-aged scholar with triangular eyes and a cunning and treacherous look. He must be the strategist 'Jia Pu' who is quite famous in the Divine Might Army.

Zhao Xing was a bit disappointed with Yang An, and even his salute was a bit perfunctory.

After bowing, he stood silently, lowered the clouds, and returned to the corridor, standing with Old Chen.

Chen Shijie couldn't guess Zhao Xing’s thoughts, and immediately whispered: "Just watch the changes, the Marquis will never disappoint."

Oh?

Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky again.

Once Yang An came out, there was no room for Zhao Xing to speak. The one who talked was Qiu Mingyi.

"Why did the Divine Might General obstruct law enforcement?"

"The Inspection Division wants to cut 1366 of my brothers, how can Yang An not come?"

"If Lord Qiu insists on cutting, you should let people have a chance to say their last words."

Yang An landed on the square, and the roar of the Canglong came out, suddenly breaking the silence spell.

"Marquis, Marquis!"

"I am wronged, Marquis!"

"Marquis, Qiu Mingyi, this cruel official, has bad intentions and wants to kill us!"

The people in the square suddenly wailed.

Zhao Xing? Not enough weight, and not very familiar, obviously the anger was directed at Qiu Mingyi.

Qiu Mingyi flew into the square, fearless, facing the power of the Canglong.

"Then let’s hear what else they have to say."

Yang An nodded: "Quiet!"

The square was silent in an instant.

A trace of different color flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes. This is not any Ritualist spell, but the personal prestige done by Yang An’s own mouth.

"Hong Tai, what injustice do you have." Yang An asked the highest-ranking military general Hong Tai first. "Say it out, this Marquis will make the decision for you!"

Hong Tai raised his head, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't speak.

Is he wronged? He is not wronged.

The crime is true, and the evidence is true.

How to defend?

"Can't say it?" Qiu Mingyi sneered, "Then this official will help you say it. Hong Tai, you were transferred to Tao County as Jitian Order in the 10th year of Jingxin. With the situation of the Divine Might Army at that time, the Boping Marquis was still removed from his post."

"You turned from martial to civil, Proper Seventh Rank Lower only dropped to From Seventh Rank Upper. Tao County is a fertile land, not to mention favorable weather, at least no natural disasters appeared. You, this military agricultural official, turned to civil, no need to fight, no need to be on duty day and night, and your salary increased. You say this transfer, does the imperial court treat you badly?"

Hong Tai stiffened his neck and said: "That was the Marquis taking the blame for the brothers in the army! The Marquis was forced to resign to protect the brothers in the army..."

"Good!" Qiu Mingyi interrupted Hong Tai’s words, "You know it."

"But how did you repay the Boping Marquis in Tao County? Answer this official!"

"Marquis, I, I know I was wrong..." Hong Tai didn't dare to raise his head.

"Know you were wrong?" Qiu Mingyi sneered: "I don't think so."

"You were in Tao County for five years, raped fourteen women, and forced five of them to death. The other nine were silenced with money."

"A year ago, the Boping Marquis returned to the army and began to reorganize military affairs."

"You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, and you frantically killed the families of these fourteen women to silence them."

"You thought you did it seamlessly, but you didn't know that there are gods three feet above your head!"

"You are a good Changshui Captain, how could you make mistake after mistake? Fall to this point?"

"You say you are wronged, are you wronged, or are those women who were killed by your beastly nature wronged, or are those dead souls wronged?!"

Every time Qiu Mingyi said a word, he took a step. In the end, his voice resounded throughout the sky, and all the criminals in the square could not raise their heads.

Qiu Mingyi scanned the crowd in the square: "If you feel you are wronged, just say it loudly. If there is any misjudgment, this official will immediately commit suicide to apologize!"

Silence, deathly silence.

When Qiu Mingyi finished speaking, the order arrow above the square fell again by three points, and the Canglong probe claw seemed unable to support it, swaying and falling.

Hong Tai knelt to Yang An’s feet.

"Marquis, Hong Tai knows that his crime is unforgivable!"

"Considering the years of following, please Marquis temporarily pardon me and let me die on the battlefield!"

"Hong Tai, will definitely die on the battlefield!"

After saying this, Hong Tai knocked heavily on the ground.

The rest of the people saw this and followed suit, kowtowing one after another.

"Marquis, I, He Long, only embezzled a few tens of thousands of taels, how can it be a death crime!"

"Marquis, let us die on the battlefield!"

"Marquis..."

Qiu Mingyi stopped talking.

Because these people all pleaded guilty and did not refute. What they sought was for Yang An to use his privileges to pardon them and let them change a way to die.

If Yang An really did this, Qiu Mingyi could not interfere, because this is the privilege of the strong and the aristocratic family, a historical legacy system problem. At the beginning of Taizu’s world, First-Rank strongmen could completely choose to go to the Eight Desolate Lands and establish themselves as kings. If individual greatness is strong enough, if there is no privilege treatment, why join Great Zhou?

It is hard to say whether these privilege systems are good or bad, but they just exist.

Zhao Xing looked at this scene and felt that this test was really difficult to handle.

Facing the pleading of his former subordinates, and only asking to change a way to die, anyone else would have been moved to pardon them.

However, if Yang An pardons, his evaluation will inevitably decrease.

Of course, at this time, he would never open his mouth to persuade again.

Everyone has their own choice, Zhao Xing’s choice is to judge heavily and not go against the crackdown wind of the imperial court.

How will this Boping Marquis choose?

After a moment of silence, Yang An spoke.

"Hong Tai, Qi Shan, brothers."

"Stopping fighting with martial arts, you have done a good job, including now, I also believe you can do well, but you have forgotten the heart of defending the country and protecting the people."

"The national law judges the crime, the crime does not tolerate feelings, but the crimes you committed have a share of my Yang An."

"It is my Yang An’s mismanagement, so today I lost 1366 brothers!"

"I, Yang An, should be punished first!"

The precious sword behind Yang An suddenly came out of its sheath.

Under the eyes of everyone, the golden sword suddenly crossed his left shoulder and right leg.

"Puchi~"

The sword blade cut off his left shoulder and right leg neatly!

"Boping Marquis!" Qiu Mingyi’s expression moved.

"Marquis!"

"Divine Might General!"

In various parts of the square, bursts of exclamations came!

Zhao Xing was also a bit surprised. He didn't expect Yang An to be so ruthless, directly cutting off one of his hands and one foot.

Although there are treasures in this world that can regenerate broken limbs, with a Fourth-Rank strongman, it is not difficult to get a bone-continuing ginseng.

But someone who really dares to do this is a ruthless person!

"Marquis! Marquis! We are willing to plead guilty and die!"

"The Marquis treats me like hands and feet, today he cut off his hands and feet, we deserve to die!"

"Marquis, don't!" Hong Tai and others saw Yang An wanting to stab himself again, and rushed up like crazy, even if they were tied with ropes, they went to block.

"Divine Might General!" Qiu Mingyi also stopped him, "Don't do this."

"Marquis." At this time, the middle-aged scholar Jia Pu stepped forward and said with tears: "Just agree to the brothers’ request and send them on their way."

Yang An closed his eyes and sighed, then the golden sword leaped, suddenly piercing through the 1366 people in the square.

"From today on, I, Yang An, am demoted to a bitter soldier, punished into the first-climb battalion, and kill Barbarians to atone for the dead brothers!"

"Until I kill 13660 people! I hope the soldiers of the Divine Might Army will take me, Yang An, as a warning."

After saying this, Yang An’s Canglong rolled up, rolled up the corpses of the dead soldiers, and flew away from the Inspection Division.

"Lost hands and feet, what a lost hands and feet, what a self-demotion to a bitter soldier, what a Yang An!" Zhao Xing looked at Yang An’s departing back, a trace of different color flashed in his eyes, "Being able to do this, you deserve to be famous in the world!"

I don't know if the brothers are satisfied with this chapter, but I think Yang An’s character design, his approach, in this era and background, can stand up.

Three updates finished, sleep! Continue tomorrow!
