>Chapter 106 This Duke Will Come Back Later to Settle the Sc

m now on, this will be your home!"From now on, you won't be alone. No matter what happens, you can tell me and I'll be with you. We'll face it together!Li Yuxiang opened her mouth.At this moment, she...What happened doesn't matter anymore.

At this very moment, Wu Yong wanted to make it clear to everyone that he was the biggest figure in this Jianghe! He was the ruler of this Jianghe!

Zheng Dongqiao also rushed forward, shouting at the yamen servants: "Didn't you hear what the lord said Quickly release him!"

Zhou Kun, who was pushed to the front, had already been so scared that he peed his pants. Hearing Wu Yong's words, he suddenly burst into tears.

"Lord, save me! Zhao Kang has gone mad, he's with Yang Lin and the rest of them! They want to kill me!"

Zhou Kun seemed to have grasped a lifeline, desperately reaching towards Wu Yong's side, with snot and tears streaming down his face, howling and crying hysterically.

Yang Lin

Wu Yong was doubtful; he seemed to have heard this name before, but couldn't recall it for the moment.

But that doesn't matter.

In this Jianghe County, no one could make a ripple under his nose.

"Rest assured, with this official here, no one can kill you unless I give the order!"

Wu Yong said coldly, his eyes scanning the entire audience.

It has to be said, years of being in a position of power have given him an invisible aura. At this moment, his gaze swept over everyone, and no one dared to meet his eyes.

Wu Yong's heart sneered. He again rebuked the yamen officers, "Are you deaf I told you to release him!"

Today, this face (matter), he must bring it back!

However, the constables remained unmoved, only turning their heads to look in one direction.

Wu Yong was taken aback and followed his gaze.

In the crowd, Yang Lin walked over surrounded by guards in purple and green robes.

He didn't even glance at Wu Yong, just waved his hand at the guards: "What are you waiting for It's too crowded here, take him to the front and behead him!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants no longer hesitated and immediately escorted Zhou Kun and the others, who were crying and wailing, forward.

"You, you…"

Wu Yong widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the yamen servants. They had actually ignored him

The constables aren't stupid at all.

They have now offended both the Zhou and Zhao families, and they also know that Zhao Kang is already Yang Lin's person. In this situation, who is in charge of this river, it is clear!

Yang Lin came before Wu Yong, narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "County Magistrate Wu, if you still want to save some face, I suggest you shut your mouth immediately! Go and wait aside, this Duke will come find you later to settle the score!"

Wu Yong was completely dumbfounded.

In Jianghe County, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this!

He wanted to attack, but when he heard the other party call themselves "Your Lordship," he was stunned.

My lord

Are there any nobles with titles

But doesn't Jianghexian have nobles Don't you know that yet

"Master, this is Yang Lin! Last time with Zhao Deyi's affair, he sent us four hundred taels of silver!" Zheng Dongqiao whispered to him.

Wu Yong suddenly realized and was immediately furious.

"Yang Lin That country bumpkin scholar He dares to speak to me like that"

Wu Yong was about to go over and argue.

Zheng Dongqiao, however, hastily grabbed him.

"Master, something's not right! Look, all the officers from the third shift are here, and they seem to be listening to him. Plus, Zhao Kang..."

Without Zheng Dongqiao finishing his words, Wu Yong already understood everything and couldn't help but gasp.

All this time, the thing he feared most, the thing he worried about the most, had happened! Wu Yong stared wide-eyed as the officers led the prisoners past him. Even when Zhao Kang walked over, he didn't even glance at him. Wu Yong was utterly panicked.

Not far away, a line of people had been pressed to their knees on the ground. The surrounding crowd parted ways. Soon, the executioner from Jianghe County, who had been idle for many years, walked over swaggeringly, carrying a bowl of wine and a ghost-headed greatsword with a red tassel tied to it.

Even the executioner, seeing the man before him, gasped in shock.

Today, the number of people I'm going to execute surpasses the total I've killed in years.

The time has come, let the execution begin!

Zhao Kang gave an order, and the executioner did not hesitate. He gulped down a large bowl of wine and raised his big knife.

After a sharp "crack", a head rolled onto the ground with a gurgling sound.

Cheers erupted, and among the crowd, there were cries of "Qingtian Da Lao Ye!"

One, two, three...

Heads rolled everywhere, and the ground was soon covered in a growing number of brains. The courtyard outside the county magistrate's office was quickly stained red with blood.

Until the very last head of a criminal was chopped off, those people who had once been oppressed by these two families knelt down with excitement and wept aloud.

What goes around comes around, even those who fly high and far cannot escape retribution!

Today, their long-standing revenge has finally been avenged!

Yang Lin finally let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.

The outcome is decided!

As for what happened next, someone took care of it.

Soon, Yang Lin met Wu Yong in the back hall of the county magistrate's office.

At this moment, Wu Yong finally understood what had happened.

When he learned that Yang Lin had raided the homes of Zhou Kun and Zhao Deyi last night with three squads of yamen servants, and was carrying an imperial edict proving him to be a personal knight bestowed by the previous emperor... Wu Yong already knew his time was up!

Even though I'm deeply unwilling, I can only swallow my anger and accept the situation now. I've made up my mind to be a puppet.

As for not cooperating with Yang Lin Even confronting him directly

Wu Yong didn't even think about it.

The downfall of the Zhou and Zhao families served as the best warning for him!

If you don't cooperate with their decisiveness and methods, you won't even have the most basic use value.

When the time comes, a county magistrate dying without a sound won't be a big deal.

"Oh my, Your Lordship has graced us with your presence! I am deeply ashamed of my poor reception and lack of respect."

Wu Yong acted as if nothing had happened before, smiling and giving Yang Lin a playful bow.

"Sir Wu is too kind."

Yang Lin also bowed his hand.

Since the other party was so considerate, Yang Lin wouldn't go out of his way to cause trouble. He immediately started chatting with Wu Yong as if they were old friends.

As they chatted, Yang Lin got down to business.

"I believe that Zhao Deyi and Zhou Kun colluded with bandits, intending to murder the nobility. Wu Da ren is unaware of these matters and has no connection to them."

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, Wu Yong felt a jolt in his heart. He knew Yang Lin was warning him, so he quickly nodded and said: "You're right, they are ambitious and have deceived me! I am to blame, I have also failed to see through them! Your Lordship, how can I make amends to you"

Yang Lin smiled: "Ai, Lord Wu, you needn't feel guilty. This time, if it weren't for a few loyal subordinates of mine who saved me, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned!"

"This duke needs no compensation. However, as for my men, if Lord Wu could find them some positions in the county office, this duke would be most grateful."

Is that all you require

Wu Yong didn't think much of it and immediately nodded.

Then he regretted it!

"Zhang Ping, assumes the post of head of the Criminal Justice Department and acts as county magistrate; Zhong Tao, appointed as clerk of the Criminal Justice Department; Zhao Fugui, takes over as chief clerk of the River and Lake Department; Zhang Chong, appointed as instructor of the River and Lake Department; Liu Hong, appointed as inspector of the River and Lake Department; Wang Kui, appointed as teacher of the River and Lake Department……”

Yang Lin blurted out a string of names, and their official positions were arranged perfectly.subordinate counties.The county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, let alone the county lieutenant who's an eighth-rank nobody.The yamen officials looked at Zhao Deyi in bewilderment for a mo...
