"You mean Ye Feng is the reincarnation of Erlang Shen?"
"Otherwise what?"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, filling in the blanks with their own imaginations.
He Tianqi was both ashamed and furious. His fierce tiger had actually been killed by a dog. He almost fainted from anger.
"Ye Feng..."
"Cough cough... Let me go right now..."
"I am... cough cough, the governor of Langya Prefecture..."
Ye Feng said coldly.
"The person I'm going to kill today is you, the governor."
"How dare you stop me from receiving my medal? You've got a lot of heads!"
He was about to take action after saying that.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly a voice came from behind, and Zhang Yuanlei led a group of people from the Ministry of War to walk over quickly.
"Ye Feng, put Governor He down first. This man must not be killed."
Zhang Yuanlei looked anxious, fearing that Ye Feng might do something irrational.
"Don't act impulsively..."
Click—
Ye Feng snapped He Tianqi's neck and tossed him aside, saying indifferently.
"He's trying to stop me from getting the Star Medal, so why can't I kill him?"
"Hmph, keeping a ferocious tiger around to devour people and harm the common people, what difference is there between such a governor and a demon?"
“I killed him to rid the people of a scourge.”
Although Ye Feng did not enter the club, his divine sense enveloped the place, and he knew everything that happened inside.
He Tianqi convulsed for a few moments before dying.
He died without even closing his eyes.
A thunderous applause erupted from the surrounding crowd, and many people cheered loudly.
“Well said. He Tianqi is not fit to be governor at all. Last year, my cousin was fed to a tiger because he accidentally bumped into him while walking.”
“That’s right. People have been disappearing one after another on our street. Many people have seen it. They were all captured by He Tianqi and fed to the tigers. No one dares to expose him unless they’re tired of living.”
"Good riddance! Kill that corrupt official!"
"Corrupt officials bring disaster to the country and its people; they deserve to die a thousand or ten thousand times."
"Well done, Young Master Ye!"
"Young Master Ye is acting on behalf of Heaven and speaking out for the people."
The crowd was in a frenzy, and their calls for Ye Feng reached their peak instantly. Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at him.
Zhang Yuanlei had also heard about He Tianqi raising tigers.
I never expected him to be so heartless as to feed a living person to a tiger.
They certainly deserved to die.
Furthermore, awarding Ye Feng the Star Medal was a decision made after deliberation by the Cabinet.
He Tianqi and his son were interfering, weren't they deliberately going against the cabinet and trying to embarrass him?
But what's done is done, and there's no point in saying more.
His main purpose in coming here was to award the Star Medal, and he couldn't care less about He Tianqi's willingness to come and die.
All he wanted now was to award the Star Medal to Ye Feng as soon as possible and leave this troublesome place quickly.
He Longteng is dead, and the Tiger Legion will definitely not let this go.
He knew that the He family had connections with some hidden sects and had a deep background, which even he was unwilling to easily provoke.
Now that Ye Feng has killed them, father and son, the forces behind them will definitely not let this go.
Zhang Yuanlei took a deep breath, forced a smile, and handed Ye Feng a delicate little box.
"Ye Feng, this is the Star Medal awarded to you by the Cabinet."
"You previously held off Cao Meng's 100,000 rebel troops, maintaining the peace and stability of the country and making great contributions. You deserve all of this."
"On behalf of the Ministry of War, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
He spoke these words with complete sincerity.
Deep down, Zhang Yuanlei was still very grateful to Ye Feng.
Since He Tianqi is already dead, it's not worth offending Ye Feng for the sake of a dead man.
Then, Zhang Yuanlei had his men bring up two large boxes, both of which emanated a rich spiritual energy.
"This box contains two thousand spirit stones."
"The other box contains some precious medicinal herbs for cultivation."
Ye Feng stepped forward and opened the two boxes respectively.
Just as the other party had said, a large box was filled with neatly stacked spirit stones, which shone brightly in the sunlight, like a pile of gold, and spiritual energy kept emanating from it.
As the Earth's spiritual energy gradually dwindles, spirit stones are becoming increasingly rare.
Last time, Ye Feng swept through the four major families of Jiangnan Prefecture and the residence of Governor Chen Haohan, but he only managed to collect a little over two hundred spirit stones.
Now that he's been given two thousand yuan all at once, that's definitely a considerable sum of money.
No wonder so many people covet the Star Medal.
Such generous rewards alone are enough to make anyone envious.
The other box contained extremely rare medicinal herbs for cultivation, including Nine-Leaf Spirit Herb, Flame Spirit Mushroom, and Earth Treasury Single-Seed Ginseng, all of which are resources that are hard to come by.
With these resources, we should be able to completely condense the thousandth golden pill.
Ye Feng was very satisfied and was about to reach out to take the Star Medal.
"stop!"
Suddenly a voice came from afar.
The surrounding crowd parted to both sides like a tide, clearing a passage in the middle.
Several distinguished-looking elderly men strode over, followed by a large retinue, all in a flurry of activity.
These elderly men are clearly people who have held high positions for a long time.
They were all the previous generation heads of top-tier wealthy families in Langya Prefecture, and they were very prestigious in Langya Prefecture.
They came specifically to support Governor He Tianqi, but they were still a step too late.
Of course, even if they had arrived earlier, it wouldn't have changed anything except for a few more bursts of blood mist.
The elderly man at the head of the group exuded an imposing aura, with graying temples and a cold gaze.
This is Bai Jingqi, the former patriarch of the Bai family, the head of the ten major families in Langya Prefecture.
The Bai family is in the real estate business and is a leader in the industry in Langya Mansion.
A typical real estate tycoon.
Their real estate developments span across Langya, Haidong, and several surrounding prefectures and dozens of counties and cities, demonstrating their substantial financial resources.
More importantly, Bai Jingqi had previously served as the Vice Minister of War, holding a position in the Ministry of War second only to the Minister of War, Luo Yuantai.
Although he has now retired, his students and old friends are still around, and he remains very influential in the Ministry of War.
Even He Tianqi, a minor governor, had to be mindful of his mood when making decisions.
