Chapter 222: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Han Lang walked up to them.
"Executive officer?"
The man knelt down.
"Who gave the order to stop the car today?"
The executioner saluted with trembling hands and said, "General Ji."
Han Lang nodded his chin towards Yuan Xu.
Yuan Xu walked behind the executioner, pulled out a short knife from his sleeve, and cut his throat.
General Ji took one look and said anxiously, "You, even though you are a Royal Guard, you can't kill me?"
"Who gave you the order?" Han Lang asked again.
"There must be a mistake. They didn't know he was one of our own." General Ji quickly changed his words.
Han Lang's face turned cold.
"Aoqing, go back to the car first."
"Oh." Feng Aoqing went back obediently.
When General Ji heard that they were planning to take action, he immediately shifted the blame: "And Lord Li! He gave the order!"
Yuan Xu no longer needed Han Lang's instructions and stepped forward.
But General Ji was a military general, so he stood up and wanted to escape.
Yuan Xu also reacted quickly and pierced his back with a sword.
The rest of the people collapsed to the ground in fear.
Some people began to say that the matter had nothing to do with them, and those who did not say anything probably had problems, so Yuan Xu executed them one by one, and in the end only Lord Li, the city defender, was left.
The city guard said sternly, "I am an official appointed by the court. You cannot kill me. Who are you? Why are you committing a crime here?"
"There is no one in Tianyao that I can't kill." Han Lang said.
Yuan Xu stepped on him to the ground and killed him with a knife.
"Are all the officials here?" Han Lang asked.
One of the minor officials stood up and said, "Our deputy governor, Lord Yan, didn't come. He's always been upright and never got involved in any of these officials' activities. That's why he's being ostracized in the city."
"Okay, go find him." Han Lang nodded.
Lord Yan arrived and was shocked to see the corpses everywhere. He asked who the visitor was.
"Yuwen Han." Han Lang finally said his name in Tianyao, and everyone finally knew his identity.
Not to mention the entire Tianyao, in this city, anyone can be killed.
Han Lang said to Lord Yan, "I don't have time to deal with all your messes. You have problems too, but they are bigger. So I killed them first. Now you report it and say it was me who did it. After that, you will be the defender of the city."
"Ah?!" Lord Yan was shocked.
The defense of this city is not something the prince can decide on alone! It must be ordered by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
He was a bit pedantic, so he said this.
Han Lang glared at him and said, "Okay, okay, I'll write a letter. If you don't want to do it, I'll kill you too."
Lord Yan said quickly, "No, I do."
The group drove away. Just as Feng Aoqing said, it didn't take much time. They killed all the officials in the city and left.
This place is not far from the capital, and Han Lang thinks this is a big deal.
Since they dared to rob on the official roads in this city, they will also dare to rob outside the capital in the future. Naturally, we must kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
He is always ruthless and will not hold back just because he has close connections with others.
For him, only killing can make people remember.
The four of them set off again.
Feng Aoqin smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are in a hurry. If we weren't, and we went through city after city, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many officials left in Tianyao."
Han Lang also laughed and said, "There are many people who want to be officials and are able to be officials."
"So you're really not fit to be king. You're too cold-blooded. Who would dare to be your subordinate?"
Yuan Xu interrupted: "His Highness treats us well, but he is not that kind of person. He only kills those who should be killed. From now on, leave the dirty work to me."
Du Hui also added: "These people should be killed. With them in office, the people will not be well off."
"You guys are pretty united, but I'm the only one who's wrong, right?"
"No, you are better. I have never seen you save a worthless person like us with your own hands."
Du Hui was indeed very grateful. In this world, apart from Eunuch Qian and his brothers who cared about him, no one else was so kind to him.
"Brothers, you protect me with your lives, and I will naturally protect you with my life." Feng Aoqing said with a smile.
They did not stay in Fengchu City, but entered the next city, Xucheng.
It should be the closest to Zhaocheng, which is a little further and takes half a day to walk from Xucheng.
But Zhaocheng was Yuwen You's territory, so they avoided it.
As long as we rest here for one night, we can return to Beijing tomorrow.
Yuan Xu's token was still used to enter the city, so there was no obstruction.
Without even looking at the people in the car, one could tell that they were very important people, because Yuan Xu was actually driving the car for them, and no one dared to ask who they were.
After entering the city, since they were planning to leave tomorrow anyway, Han Han asked Yuan Xu to find an inn to rest, take a good shower, and then return to Beijing.
So the four of them went to the most luxurious inn, Honglai Inn.
Unexpectedly, even though I brought out the silver and had a good attitude, but just didn't show the token, I was still turned away.
The innkeeper said very politely, "Gentlemen, we are really unable to accommodate you today. There is no room left because the entire inn is fully booked."
"You are staying at the Honglai Inn. I heard that it has hundreds of rooms. Who is so generous as to need so many rooms? I haven't heard of any big gathering outside the capital!" Yuan Xu said in surprise.
The shopkeeper had sharp eyes and as soon as he saw Han Lang opening the window and obeying, he knew that this person was not a good person.
So he hurriedly said, "Sir, this room has really been reserved by someone. It's a big customer, and we can't say who it is. Next time, next time you come, I will give you a day's room fee for free."
As he was speaking, he saw some people walking out. These people should be the people who originally lived in this inn. Large and small bags of luggage were scattered everywhere in a mess.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Oh. This place is booked, so the dozens of guests who originally stayed here need to move. Don't worry, we didn't charge a penny, even for those who stayed for a few days."
Feng Aoqing looked at Han Lang from inside the car and asked, "Could this be another escaped prince coming back to see the Queen Mother? What a grand ceremony!"
Han Lang shook his head with a cold expression: "Only the boss and I are outside. The others are like flies, buzzing in front of the old man."
"You mean your dad is an egg, right? And there's a crack in it!" Feng Aoqing almost died of laughter.
Han Lang stretched his head out and said to Yuan Xu, "Let's go to another place. Since this guy is so generous, let him be. Let's go to another place."
Yuan Xu could only nod and drive towards the back street.
Du Hui said there was a nice inn there, where he had stayed when he was away.
But before the carriage left the front of the inn, a person suddenly flew out from the front of the inn and hit their carriage.
Feng Aoqing was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. When she was bumped, the tea was about to spill out. In order to avoid pouring it on Han Lang, she retracted her hand and the cup of water splashed back on herself.
She couldn't help but scream.
"Ao Qing!"
