Chapter 696: Su Yang
Besides Ji Hongtu's death, Liu Li was captured, and most members of the Brother Casino had committed crimes enough to warrant execution.
Ye Long still operated a shop in the red-light district of Mount Dajiao.
As for hanging them on the city wall, Su Yang learned that from Jing Liang, the lord of Yuncheng.
Upon arriving, could Su Yang possibly do nothing at all?
He had to establish some authority, even slightly!
So the common folk of Mount Dajiao wouldn't remain unaware that their lord had changed.
Through this incident, Su Yang subtly asserted his presence.
As for the Treasure Pavilion's backing behind the Brother Casino, he didn't care much.
Su Yang knew the boss of the Brother Casino was Ye Long, and he had an older brother named Ye Hu, a member of the Treasure Pavilion's Hunting Team.
Upon thorough investigation, Ye Hu bore responsibility for the Brother Casino's crimes.
But Ye Hu had long been away hunting ferocious beasts and had not personally participated in the Brother Casino's affairs.
In Su Yang's view, this could be pursued—or ignored.
He recalled how the Treasure Pavilion had lent a hand when he escaped last time.
Emotionally and rationally, Su Yang could never truly oppose the Treasure Pavilion!
So Su Yang decided he could spare Ye Hu this time.
Then, at some point, he would just warn the Treasure Pavilion.
As Liu Mengyun stepped out of the office, several Beast Tamer officers approached her.
"Deputy Officer Liu, what did the lord say?"
The one asking Liu Mengyun was the former superior of Ji Hongtu's father.
Behind him stood all of Ji Hongtu's former comrades.
They were all furious over Ji Hongtu's death.
"The lord said: all the guilty shall be hanged and displayed on the city wall!"
