Chapter 963: Open the dog-head guillotine, execute him for this official!
Qingshui County.
Prison.
Gao Yang sat on the hay, his expression calm.
He knew very well that this grand drama was gradually unfolding!
"Kid, what is your name, and where is your home?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Gao Yang turned his head to see that in the opposite cell, a thin, middle-aged man with a bare upper body and bronze-colored muscles was speaking to him.
"Gao Yang, courtesy name Wenhe, home is in Changan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man laughed immediately.
"You kid, do you really think I haven't heard the name of the Living Yama? If you were that Living Yama, I would eat three catties of dung right now!"
"Down to the last drop, how about that?"
Gao Yang nodded, "I think that works!"
"You kid, you really can brag, but you are also a pitiful person. I heard that officials and merchants colluded to force a confession!"
"This shitty world is truly difficult!"
When the middle-aged man said this, his tone suddenly became low, "If you really were the Living Yama, even if I had to eat three catties of dung, I would accept it; at least that corrupt official would be finished!"
"But it's a pity!"
"Sigh!"
The middle-aged man sighed heavily.
But at this moment.
Tap!
Tap-tap!
A series of hurried footsteps came, the sound becoming extremely chaotic, as a group of middle-aged men in official robes, along with a large number of soldiers, rushed into the prison!
They wore expressions of majesty and were quite extraordinary!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel confused.
Immediately after, a scene that he would never forget occurred.
Liu Ning stepped forward quickly, and when he saw Gao Yang wearing shackles and a white prisoner's uniform, he hurriedly knelt on one knee before Gao Yang, his face full of panic.
"Liu Ning of the Yongning Army pays respects to Lord Gao, I beg Lord Gao to punish me!"
Seeing Gao Yang in this state, Meng Ziyi felt a cold sweat on his back.
He also hurriedly knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate, Suiyang Prefect Meng Ziyi, has failed in governance, I beg Lord Gao to punish me!"
"We pay respects to Lord Gao, I beg Lord Gao to punish us!"
Clatter.
Almost in an instant, everyone knelt in a row.
The middle-aged man widened his eyes, staring at Gao Yang as if he had seen a ghost.
He was in complete disbelief!
Three catties of dung, down to the last drop, how could he finish that?
Li Quezi woke up in pain, feeling as if his whole body were splitting apart.
Wang Ermazi's hands were truly ruthless!
But when he woke up and heard the commotion in the prison, he stretched his legs, closed his eyes, and fainted again.
Gao Yang said nothing, just looked at everyone with cold eyes. This gaze was so oppressive that it made Meng Ziyi and Liu Ning's scalps go numb.
Even though they were usually arrogant in front of the commoners, in front of Gao Yang, the difference in status was far too great!
"Bastards, why haven't you released Lord Gao yet!"
Meng Ziyi glanced at Li Wenzheng and gritted his teeth.
Li Wenzheng hurriedly stepped forward to open the prison door, his lips trembling.
"Your subordinate did not know Lord Gao's identity, I beg Lord Gao to forgive me."
Li Wenzheng's waist was almost bent to the ground, his face wearing a smile uglier than crying. Even though it was autumn, his forehead was covered in fine sweat.
"Magistrate Li, weren't you very arrogant?"
"In the courtroom, I asked you for the rule of law, and didn't you tell me that in this small Qingshui County, you, Li Wenzheng, are the heaven of Qingshui County, and you are the rule of law of Qingshui County?"
Gao Yang's tone was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Li Wenzheng's legs trembled even more violently, and Private Secretary Fang beside him was also drenched in sweat.
"My Lord, your subordinate was confused for a moment, which is why I said such arrogant words!"
Beside him, Liu Ning stepped forward and said, "My Lord, let the end general remove these handcuffs and leg irons for you; such things must not hurt you."
Gao Yang's expression was indifferent, his gaze sweeping from Meng Ziyi to Li Wenzheng.
He said lightly, "It was easy for you to put these handcuffs and leg irons on me, but wanting to take them off is not nearly as simple!"
"If I hadn't personally worn these handcuffs and leg irons, how would I have known the suffering of the wrongly accused commoners in my Qingshui County?"
"This matter is far from over!"
These words caused Meng Ziyi and the others to be shocked.
Cold sweat seeped from their foreheads, and they wished they could kill Li Wenzheng!
This clearly meant the Living Yama was angry!
At this very moment.
At the prison entrance.
As Gao Yang expected, this news was too shocking, spreading through the entire Qingshui County with the force of thunder.
The commoners in the city put down their work, and even those who were using the latrine exerted themselves to rush out.
They gathered at the prison entrance, craning their necks to look.
Soon, a scene that shocked the entire Qingshui County appeared.
Gao Yang wore a white prisoner's uniform, stained with red, two exposed scars clearly visible. He wore a wooden collar, his hands and feet locked in black iron shackles, as he walked out.
Behind Gao Yang followed a large group of officials; those who were usually high and mighty now all lowered their heads like ostriches.
This scene left countless commoners stunned.
The Living Yama not only went to prison but also suffered torture!
"Hiss!"
Countless commoners gasped, their scalps going numb.
But immediately after, there was endless excitement.
Shangguan Wan'er stood in a restaurant, watching this scene, her eyes moved.
"Promised one whip, but received two!"
"A strategist who enters the game with his own body, truly admirable!"
Soon.
Gao Yang arrived at the Qingshui County Yamen and sat on a chair.
The officials of Suiyang Prefecture stood on both sides.
Li Wenzheng, Private Secretary Fang, Constable Zhao, and Wang Ermazi knelt in the middle. Except for Wang Ermazi, the three of them were trembling violently like chaff.
Outside the Yamen, a large number of commoners gathered, their expressions indignant.
Gao Yang stared at Li Wenzheng, his voice suddenly sounding.
"Li Wenzheng, since you became the Magistrate of Qingshui County, you have always been the one with the final say; whatever you said went, and whatever you wanted to do, you did!"
"Now that I am here, my official rank is far superior to yours, and my voice is louder than yours. Men, take this fellow's official hat off!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Guang directly removed Li Wenzheng's official hat, leaving him disheveled and extremely wretched!
This scene caused everyone's hearts to jump.
The Living Yama repays every grievance; he is truly terrifying!
Gao Yang's expression was indifferent, his voice growing louder, "As a parent official of a region, you do not seek welfare for the commoners, but instead collude with merchants to oppress the people of a county. How can I tolerate you?"
"Men, bring the dog-head guillotine!"
Wu Guang and Chen Sheng heard this and moved the dog-head guillotine, one on the left and one on the right, their expressions indifferent. ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
