Chapter 1236: The Brutal Person

Upon hearing this, the people from the Ministry of Rites immediately perked up, trotted to the door, called the guards outside in, pointed at that person, and told them what they should do. The two guards, their Iron Armor clanking with a sharp sound, exuded an intense sense of oppression as they stepped forward to seize the man.

His companions were a bit afraid and also a bit angry, mainly because the one punishing them was Baifeng, not the Baoxi they recognized.

But as for the pro-Baoxi faction, they were currently adopting a detached attitude, and Fu was even happier; this was Baifeng helping him, after all, establishing his own prestige.

Once he entered Huaxia City, he had been thinking about what he should do to secure a place for himself in Huaxia. He had not expected this opportunity to come so quickly. Having gained the King's recognition and also the King's support, wouldn't his future days be easy?

The man being seized was still struggling desperately, wanting to stand up and fight back, but Baifeng's guards were all carefully selected. Every day, apart from normal training, they took turns standing guard in their armor. They were tall, strong, and wore such thick armor.

That man punched the armor, causing his own face to twitch in pain. Seeing that he still wanted to resist, the guard, without a word, punched him straight in the face. The man was instantly stunned, and his body went limp.

The people of the stubborn faction still wanted to stand up and say something, but Yulong said in a tone of watching a show: "Those who help him are guilty of the same crime; you will be punished together."

Once this was said, the others who had ideas hurriedly sat down obediently. If Baifeng dared to punish them like this in the territory of the Suiren clan, then never mind standing up to curse, they would have even dared to draw their Knives.

But this was in the territory of Huaxia. Never mind that they were the minority stubborn faction; even if the entire hundred-man team went up together, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between the others' teeth.

The conference room instantly became quiet, and it was the kind of quiet where you could hear breathing. As for Fu, he didn't know whether he should sit or stand now.

After an awkward silence for quite a while, Baifeng took a slow sip of tea before saying: "Alright, you sit down first. Tell me about the mission you came to Huaxia for this time."

Fu sat down anxiously, but he didn't know how to speak. Baifeng saw that this person was also a good-for-nothing who couldn't be relied upon, so he took action himself, pointed at that pile of things, and said: "Bring me the documents from inside first."

A servant hurriedly stepped forward to rummage, handed a bundled stack of documents to Baifeng, and then carefully untied the rope before slowly retreating, not saying a word the entire time.

Baifeng picked up one document, "Preliminary Statistics of Skilled Population," and tossed it to Yulong, letting Yulong take a look.

The subsequent ones were not very urgent either, so he tossed them to Sanxin, letting Sanxin look at them first. It was only when he saw Baoxi's letter that Baifeng stopped, then aimed at a spot and tore it open.

Well, the document envelope was torn, and the paper inside was also torn. Fortunately, it was only a corner that was torn, not the part with the text.

The content of the letter was dictated by Baoxi and written by a Huaxia official, with his signature on it. If it were later discovered that the content of the letter was different from what Baoxi had said, then they would hold people accountable according to this signature.

Baoxi's City Lord Seal had also been stamped on it, and it was stamped quite neatly. It seemed that the literacy and basic education given to Baoxi were quite good; perhaps by the next time Baoxi returned, he would be able to write a full letter himself.

After reading the content of the letter, Baifeng also knew why they had come. Baoxi had even explained why there were so many people, what their configuration was, and how Baifeng should pay attention to it.

So Baifeng knew that the one who had just been dragged out must have been from the stubborn faction. Baifeng finished reading the letter, and the screams outside also began to rise.

Although it was the guards who dragged the person out, they did not have law enforcement power and could only call the Public Security people to do the work.

With a specially made whip and extremely seasoned technique, after two lashes, the man could no longer get up and his skin was torn and flesh mangled. According to common sense, after the execution was finished, it would have been the end of his business, but since it was Baifeng who had said to throw him outside, the Public Security people left, the guards continued to stand guard, and they just let him lie on the ground wailing.

The wailing, which grew lighter and then heavier, stimulated the people of the Suiren clan one by one. They were still very afraid, especially since these few people from Huaxia were now holding papers and reading, not saying a word. This made it even more terrifying, and the sound of breathing was replaced by the rustling of turning pages.

Baifeng set Baoxi's letter aside and continued searching. He saw a document written by the doctor. This was relatively important, mainly regarding the mission to find new species and medicinal herbs, which was also his.

Opening the document to look, there were indeed good things. Among them, Chinaberry Bark ranked first. Just this alone made Baifeng feel refreshed. After he casually glanced at the text behind it, he had people bring over the baskets below and open them.

Sure enough, a pile of bark was lying inside. They said they weren't sure if it was the right thing, so they sent it back to Huaxia for testing first. How could Baifeng wait? As soon as he looked and smelled it, he was basically certain.

Afterward, he called someone: "Send this basket of bark to the Hospital, let the doctor take it and use it. Tell the doctor to do a control experiment first, and only use it after confirming there are no problems. Once the test results are out, tell me immediately."

The people from the Secretariat carried a basket of bark and trotted away just like that. Those people from the Suiren clan only dared to stare at moving objects; they didn't dare to let their eyes wander, for fear of angering this person with such a terrible temper and personality.

Only now did they remember that Huaxia had killed so many people from the Suiren clan. Could the leader of a tribe capable of doing such things be a gentle person? Could he be the kind of person who is all smiles and never gets angry? It was completely impossible.

They seemed to have had a misunderstanding about Baifeng's image. Baifeng was an extremely brutal person.
