841 The bright moon does not shine on my heart
Then, with a cold and ruthless look in his eyes and a chilling determination in his heart, Captain Guan said softly, "From now on, one of us must stay here to guard against any unforeseen events."
These people are incredibly audacious! They're just looking for death, so they don't need to be polite!
Send a letter later to inform the lord of this matter!
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin's eyes hardened with determination and ruthlessness as he replied, "Yes, General! I will immediately go and inform you of this matter!"
Furthermore, there must have been a breach in the city's defenses tonight. I will immediately investigate and find out the source of the flaw, and I will get to the bottom of this matter to ensure that such an incident never happens again!
Captain Guan nodded. This matter will be handled by Fang Lin. Perhaps some things can only be truly understood through personal experience.
Whether it was intentional or not, the truth will eventually come out!
After a moment's thought, he decided softly, "The city guard needs to be reorganized again. Soldiers who have suitable male members in their families and are willing to serve can be given priority for recruitment."
I will explain the situation to you, sir, and proceed only after you have given your approval.
Go and make preparations. Hopefully, tonight's incident won't happen again. The city's yamen runners, patrolmen, and team leaders need to be reminded of discipline again afterward!
Any families that try to test the waters will be eliminated without waiting!
If any issues arise that I cannot resolve during my absence, report them to the authorities immediately. Do not wait or harbor any illusions!
Fang Lin respectfully replied, "Yes, thank you for your instruction, Instructor!"
After waiting a moment and seeing that the general had no further instructions, he turned and left in a whirlwind. Those newly promoted and those left behind would certainly need to be purged again.
Power can corrupt people's hearts; only by constantly purging and sweeping away old pests and rotten chopping blocks can we succeed!
As night fell, Ren Pingsheng broke into two more grand mansions. In the flower pond, with winter approaching, the water lilies were blooming exceptionally brightly!
Ren Pingsheng remained silent, and the chilling aura from the Nine Heavens reappeared on the sword in his hand. As the chilling aura flashed, the pool instantly froze four feet deep!
With a low growl, he shouted, "Rise!"
The huge garden pond, like a mirror, was filled with four feet of ice, which burst out of the pond. At the bottom of the pond, there were white bones, and a few skeletons that were not completely turned to white bones, with vague outlines of clothing, some of them men and some women!
His eyes were calm yet chilling as he whispered, "Find the family and give them a proper burial!"
"Yes, sir!" Behind him, the blade was stained with blood, the standard armor was stained with blood, and there were specks of blood on his face. He was a bronze-plated demon slayer!
The sounds of fighting gradually faded away, with only the occasional clash of swords adding a touch of brilliance to the cold night.
Most ordinary city residents kept their doors tightly shut, desperately trying to keep the war out of their lives, asking for nothing more!
Lin Yi moved quickly, surveying the battlefield. Although Guan Xiaowei had cleaned up Dalong Prefecture once, many gaps remained, and the potential profits inside were too great, too much, making these people envious and willing to take risks!
The former leader of the gang was killed, and the various open and covert riches he left behind, including the money that the gang used to collect, were enough to make anyone envious.
It's a perfectly good gift of money. If I could get my hands on it now, such a huge profit, if I could snatch a portion of it, I would definitely make a fortune. Money can move people's hearts!
Moreover, these poor people from the bottom of society, having just risen up, can instantly feel like important figures with just a few pieces of gold and silver, plus a few beautiful women and kind words. It's always good to work hard for a better life.
Moreover, these aristocratic families or merchants promised that even if the matter came to light, they would bail them out and compensate them with generous amounts of gold and silver.
He also adopted his beautiful maid as his goddaughter and married her to a patrolling soldier and captain. They cooperated with each other, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and even these people dared not resist!
Sure enough, these people didn't dare to resist at all. As long as they had a way to make a living, they didn't care whether they were overcharged or undercharged. They couldn't know the inside story. As long as they had a way to make a living, the residents of the city didn't care about these things.
Even if someone had doubts, they dared not say much, after all, this was a rare and grand event, and everyone wanted to survive!
Lin Yi silently pondered the crux of the matter, and sighed inwardly, 'The world is difficult. Even if an adult is well-intentioned, how can they possibly cover up every little deception?'
This matter still needs to be discussed with the Chief Commander. Between the two perspectives, perhaps adding a third guard would be more appropriate!
As he pondered, Lin Yi remained calm and thought to himself, "Perhaps I suggest that Madam select some students from primary schools and transfer them here; that might be a more subtle and gradual influence!"
Changing a habit is difficult and takes a long time; however, if new blood enters the body, it will likely be much faster.
In front of the government office, Lin Yi waited silently for a moment, then Ren Pingsheng arrived quietly, and Lu Zhanyuan and the other two also rushed over.
Lin Yi clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you both for coming from afar. Please rest here for a day. Once things are settled, I've prepared a small feast; please don't refuse!"
Lu Zhanyuan and Mi Zhanguo clasped their hands in a slight fist salute. Mi Zhanguo chuckled softly, "Thank you. We'll go and rest first. If anything happens, Lord Lin, please don't hesitate to let us know!"
They smiled at each other, clasped their hands in greeting, and left.
Ren Pingsheng also silently clasped his hands in gratitude!
From afar, Ren Pingsheng said softly, "Eight soldiers died in battle; arrangements have been made for their deaths. Those without family members have been given proper burials!"
A calm voice, a hint of unspoken habit!
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said softly, "I will report this matter to Madam. Embezzlement is difficult to prevent, and it is too difficult to rely on personal self-discipline alone. We need to monitor it!"
Otherwise, even if so many are killed today, it won't deter them for several months; more checks and balances are needed!
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and said softly, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'm not good at these trivial matters, but I'm perfect for things that need to be handled quickly!"
With a slight smile, Ren Pingsheng quickly left to patrol the city and see if any had escaped!
Lin Yi smiled slightly, shook his head gently, his expression as cold as ice, and thought to himself, "I am not good at this matter either, and I hope that Madam will arrange someone to handle it as soon as possible!"
But I can kill! I'll start by slaughtering countless heads, chilling everyone to the bone! Will that make them more restrained for longer?
In Xuzhou City, Yuan Cangming, dressed in a white scholar's robe, held a folding paper fan in his hand, a hint of helplessness in his voice, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, as if he wanted to speak but held back!
Mr. Wang was dressed in a control robe, his expression calm and focused!
He observed, then slowly withdrew his gaze, and chuckled softly, "Junior Brother, why have you been so silent for so long? This isn't like you. Young people should have the vigor and vitality of youth; we mustn't lose our spirit!"
Yuan Cangming slowly regained his composure, bowed slightly, and said softly, "I haven't figured it out yet, I'm sorry to have worried you, Senior Brother!"
On the other side, outside the door, Chu Ci gazed at the moon, perhaps thinking of the person she missed. Her expression was deep and profound, yet a slight ripple of emotion stirred within her.
Yuan Cangming sighed softly, gathering his thoughts. He was not at peace at the moment, but he slowly let go.
The moonlight revolves, yet some roads remain impassable; the moonlight, though bright, cannot illuminate all the choices people make!
