Chapter 966

Soon, the three heads were lined up in a row, and bright red blood filled the ground.

Three of the four had already been guillotined!

This scene had extreme visual impact!

The commoners went from initial excitement and disbelief to shock, numbness, and finally, even some fear.

They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The Living Yama has gone crazy!

He guillotines whoever he says!

Too ruthless!

Even Meng Ziyi, who had been in government for over a decade, was chilled by the killing.

In principle, Gao Yang hadn't even conducted the most basic interrogation or sentencing before killing the Qingshui County Magistrate, Private Secretary, and Constable; he should have spoken out to reprimand him!

But unfortunately, Gao Yang himself was the principle!

Therefore, Meng Ziyi even thoughtfully said, "My Lord, should this Wang Ermazi, who dared to use torture on you, be guillotined?"

These words made Wang Ermazi's heart jump, and he was extremely nervous.

Rumor has it that Gao Yang doesn't recognize people after pulling up his pants; will he keep his promise?

Gao Yang glanced at Wang Ermazi and then said, "This person will not be guillotined for now."

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Ermazi, the culprit, is not being guillotined?

But before Meng Ziyi could react, Gao Yang asked lightly, "Prefect Meng, is my execution of these imperial officials not in accordance with the rules?"

Meng Ziyi's heart jumped.

But having studied the classics and read the scriptures for many years, he immediately bowed and said, "Lord Gao holds the Sword of the Son of Heaven and has been personally granted the power of expediency by the Emperor. Even if your actions are not in accordance with the rules, they are within the scope of expediency!"

Gao Yang didn't speak, just said lightly.

"Remove all the shackles from my body."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners immediately stepped forward to remove the wooden collar, handcuffs, and leg irons from Gao Yang!

At the same time, Gao Yang swept his gaze over everyone.

An indifferent gaze swept from Meng Ziyi to the commoners outside the Yamen, one by one.

He thought of Wang Ermazi's black shop, thought of those jar-shaped graves with wide bellies and narrow mouths, and thought of the old woman who had married far away for love.

In this world that could be called man-eating, she had raised four children through hardship, didn't die from the poverty of life, didn't die in one disaster after another, but died in the bad custom of jar-shaped graves.

She ate Guanyin clay, lay in a small grave, staring with wide eyes.

That scene lingered in his mind.

He also thought of the shocking news he had investigated.

One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver for such a major matter as reinforcing the dikes, yet they actually embezzled one hundred and thirty thousand taels, causing thousands of casualties overnight!

Gao Yang asked himself if he was a good person, but since he had transmigrated and had a top-tier status, what was there to hesitate about in this small Suiyang Prefecture?

Just consider it accumulating some hidden virtue for himself after scamming so many people.

Let the storm of Suiyang Prefecture begin from Wang Ermazi's black shop, and let him, Gao Yang, ignite it completely!

Gao Yang's gaze became colder and colder, and an unprecedented aura of disdain erupted from his body, sweeping through the entire Yamen hall. ===== CHAPTER 968 =====
