Chapter 995

"Lord Gao!"

"A good official!"

"This old man is willing to use my ten years of lowly life to extend Lord Gao's life by one year, even if it's just one month!"

"Me too!"

"If the heavens have eyes and really want to cut short Lord Gao's life, then cut short mine instead!"

"The Great Qian needs a good official like Lord Gao!"

"What 'first treacherous scholar who lacks conscience'? This is clearly the blue-sky official of our Great Qian!"

Gao Yang stood in the middle with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, possessing a certain detachment like the hero who crosses the Yi River, never to return.

Hu Dehai was numb.

He could no longer hold it in, and the blood he had been holding in his chest suddenly sprayed out.

Pfft!

The bright red blood sprayed like a fountain, splashing all over the ground.

"You..."

Hu Dehai pointed his finger at Gao Yang, his body trembling with anger.

Until this moment, how could he not know that this Living Yama had planned it all out long ago.

He had known about the Wanan County affair long ago and had also investigated his relationship with Commandant Lu.

He had clearly kept him and Commandant Lu on purpose, just to farm a wave of public support at the end.

The ridiculous thing was that he, like a comical clown, had been played in the palm of his hand.

Not only did he lose his life and his "manhood," but he also successfully helped the Living Yama farm a wave of public support.

Once these words were out, the Living Yama's image in the hearts of the Great Qian commoners would be completely reversed!

"You're vomiting blood already?"

"County Magistrate Hu, your tolerance is too poor; you still need to practice."

"However, I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

Gao Yang was stunned, then clicked his tongue and said.

Pfft!

Pfft, pfft!!

Hearing this, Hu Dehai sprayed two more mouthfuls of fishy-sweet blood.

Damn it, he's a beast!

This Living Yama is truly not human. He had been played so miserably, and the Living Yama actually said his tolerance was poor.

"Is this something a human would do?"

His eyes went black, and his body fell backward.

Bang!

Hu Dehai fell onto the governance platform, his whole body stiffened.

Wu Guang hurriedly stepped forward and used his hand to check Hu Dehai's breath.

Afterward, he said to Gao Yang, "My Lord, this person has no breath."

"It seems he was scared to death by you, My Lord."

Once these words fell, Meng Ziyi's expression changed, and he took a deep look at Gao Yang.

The Living Yama is truly terrifying; a County Magistrate was actually scared to death.

The commoners were also stunned.

But this Hu Dehai was truly miserable!

The officials also sighed, their gazes falling on Hu Dehai, lamenting that he was too miserable.

The moment the boiling water was poured, they also felt their legs tighten.

Gao Yang was also somewhat surprised.

He was scared to death just like that?

But out of caution, Gao Yang still spoke up, "Wu Guang, prepare another pot of hot tea for me."

"First check if he's really dead or just faking it. Some people's hearts are on the left, but a few have them on the right; it's best to stab both sides."

"Just in case, stab his rear end too!"

"Living Yama, I'll screw your mother!"

Hearing this, Hu Dehai suddenly sprang up, letting out an angry roar.

He lunged at Gao Yang with bloodshot eyes, "I'll fight you to the death!"

This turn of events stunned everyone.

Everyone was struck with astonishment.

This Hu Dehai had done it twice; he was actually still faking a faint, or to be precise, he was faking death!

Gao Yang wore a cold smile and continued to explain, "Everyone can see clearly; this is faking no breath. An ordinary person hearing this would jump up uncontrollably."

The next second.

Hu Dehai was pressed to the ground by the guards, his expression ferocious as he stared fixedly at Gao Yang.

His acting had been so good, and he had even faked a faint once; an ordinary person would have relaxed their vigilance long ago.

That way, he could have gained a glimmer of survival.

But unfortunately, he met the Living Yama, who not only wanted to pour boiling water between his legs but also wanted to finish him off!

Stabbing the heart was one thing, but he wanted to stab both sides, and he wouldn't even let his rear end go.

Damn it, he's a beast!

He had never seen such a heartless person!

"County Magistrate Hu, you've found the wrong person to try and exploit loopholes with."

Gao Yang wore a cold smile as his voice rang out.

A dignified Great Qian corrupt official is not like those elderly Confucian scholars; how could he be scared to death so easily?

It was fake at a glance; he still had to go down and settle things.

Execute!

Accompanied by Gao Yang's voice.

Hu Dehai and Lu Hanhai were both pushed onto the Dog-Head Guillotine.

Both of them wore expressions of despair.

Afterward, the Dog-Head Guillotine fell.

Both men's heads fell to the ground.

The cunning County Magistrate Hu no longer made a sound.

This time, he was truly cold through and through.

At this moment, from the rising sun in the morning to the approaching dusk now.

The number of commoners in Suiyang City had not decreased; on the contrary, it was increasing.

On the governance platform, the heads of corrupt officials were lined up in a row, their eyes wide open.

Among them was the second-in-command of the commandery, Commandant Lu!

The officials trembled, fearing that they would be the next ones named.

Gao Yang looked down at the commoners of the whole city, his cold voice ringing out.

"Today's governance session ends here!"

"Hang the bodies of these corrupt officials on the governance platform for three days and three nights as a warning!"

"But I will remain in Suiyang City for three more days. If any Suiyang commoner has any grievances, you may report them to the Commandery Governor's office!"

"If anyone is negligent, come find me; I will uphold justice for you all!"

"After three days, I will secretly visit the entire Great Qian and hold many more governance sessions!"

After speaking, Gao Yang strode off the governance platform.

Shangguan Wan'er followed behind Gao Yang; not to mention the commoners, even her own mind was constantly echoing with Gao Yang's voice.

People must die eventually; some deaths are lighter than a feather, others heavier than Mount Taishan.

This sentence gave her a great shock.

Could it be that she had misjudged Gao Yang?
