Chapter 980

The officials were all horrified, their hands and feet turning cold.

The commoners also suddenly widened their eyes, their hearts shocked.

No one expected that Gao Yang would be so direct; as soon as the inquiry began, he would bring out the Dog-Head, Tiger-Head, and Dragon-Head guillotines!

Soon, the three sharp guillotines were carried up.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang even specifically raised the guillotines; under the golden light, the cold guillotines bloomed with a terrifying sharpness!

"Hiss!"

Below the stage, the crowd of commoners gasped in unison.

The middle-aged man from Qingshui County named Old Li was even more excited, grabbing the blind man next to him and saying, "Damn, Blindie, look quickly, Lord Gao directly brought out the Dog-Head, Tiger-Head, and Dragon-Head guillotines. From now on, whoever says Lord Gao isn't playing for real, I, Li Pao'er, will be the first to cut them down!"

The blind man's arm was grabbed until it hurt, and he couldn't help but say with dissatisfaction, "I saw it, I'm not actually blind!"

"..."

Inquiry platform.

The twelve County Magistrates of Suiyang, as well as Meng Ziyi and the crowd of officials, stared at the three guillotines before them, all feeling a chill in their hearts.

This was truly being harmed miserably by that Li Wenzheng!

Bringing out three guillotines first, what kind of concept was this?

Everyone felt their scalps go numb, sitting with their waists straight. Even in the crisp autumn weather, fine beads of sweat seeped out on their foreheads.

At this time, Gao Yang continued to speak.

"Now, let us officially begin the first political inquiry of Da Qian!"

"Let me introduce myself: my name is Gao Yang, courtesy name Wenhe."

"You all can call me the host, but you can also call me the Imperial Envoy, Minister of Revenue, Censor, Qianxiao Silver Badge Supervisory Censor, Minister of the Tianlu Academy, Grandson of the Duke of Ding, Central Steering Group Gao Yang!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Meng Ziyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and Lu Hanhai's face was also stiff.

The twelve County Magistrates of Suiyang, as well as hundreds of representatives from every township and village, all sat straight, their official robes soaked through with cold sweat.

This title was truly damn hard!

The commoners, hearing this, also felt their scalps go numb. Was this almost the first person under His Majesty?

But it was precisely because of such a strong background that he dared to stir up such a massive inquiry, right?

They couldn't help but look forward to it even more!

On the inquiry platform.

Gao Yang introduced them one by one.

"Suiyang Commandery Governor Meng Ziyi, Lord Meng, welcome."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi slowly stood up and waved to the commoners.

"Suiyang Commandery Vice Prefect Lu Hanhai, Vice Prefect Lu, welcome!"

Lu Hanhai stood up and waved to the commoners.

"Suiyang Commandery Commandant, Commander of the Yongning Army Liu Ning, Commander Liu, welcome."

Liu Ning stood up and waved to the commoners.

The commoners, listening to the official titles one by one, couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

These people, these official positions, were all big shots they usually didn't dare to look at twice, and whose names alone filled them with fear.

But now they were all sitting honestly on the inquiry platform, like quails.

Unbelievable!

But... but it felt inexplicably refreshing, like drinking a mouthful of cold well water after working all day in the scorching sun, or like that shiver before finishing, feeling clear through from head to toe.

Gao Yang swept his gaze and continued, "Suiyang Commandery Huangni County, Wanan County, Qingshui County Inspector Zhang Zhong, welcome!"

Zhang Zhong straightened the wrinkles on his official robe, stood up, and a kind smile appeared on his face as he also waved to the commoners below.

But the commoners below were silent, not at all as enthusiastic or shocked as when Meng Ziyi and the others stood up.

The next second.

It was unknown who started it, but a hiss sounded, and immediately after, like a tidal wave, a massive wave of hissing suddenly erupted.

Zhang Zhong, listening to the hissing from below, saw his face turn green.

Damn!

Don't do this!

Gao Yang, hearing this massive hissing, raised an eyebrow.

He said with a fake smile, "Inspector Zhang, it seems the commoners of Suiyang are very dissatisfied with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Zhong's legs went weak.

"Lord Gao, this... this must be a misunderstanding!"

"Give me another chance!"

Saying this, Zhang Zhong looked at the commoners below again.

"Fellow villagers, I, Zhang Zhong, have always been diligent and conscientious. Say something!"

The next second.

The commoners were silent, not saying a word.

But soon, a voice that sounded like someone had given up everything suddenly rang out.

"F*** your mother, corrupt official!"

"Imperial Envoy, judge him!"

After this voice rang out, Zhang Zhong's face turned even greener.

But he couldn't do anything about it; it was incredibly awkward.

Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Inspector Zhang, look, if they speak, you're unhappy; if they don't, you're not happy."

"But those who are officials should be concerned with what the people worry about, and I must think of it; what the people hope for, I must carry out!"

"Therefore, let this inquiry begin with Inspector Zhang." ===== CHAPTER 982 =====
