Chapter 1173 Supervision Order
Chapter 1173 Supervision Order
The man in white was about to be dragged into the cycle of life and death by this palm...
Suddenly, the small white bag that floated back in the yellow sand, and the light yellow ribbon floated up again, chi!
The yellow sand is split into two halves!
All the rolled up yellow sand disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared!
The yellow sand disappeared, and the man in black opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at a light red ribbon between his eyebrows. The ribbon was like the lightest butterfly, which just fluttered across the black man's eyebrows and returned to the hands of the man in white like a frightened butterfly.
The whole building was completely petrified!
The man in black fell straight down!
With a loud bang, the diners all around retreated at the same time, their faces all changed. Someone was murdered...
"This guy is finished!" Ji Qianling sighed softly.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud bang in the west wing, and three old men flew up at the same time and landed around the man in white. One of the old men pointed his finger at the brow of the young man in black, his face as gloomy as water: "How dare you, a madman, kill the disciple of the Earth Clan?"
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked.
"A descendant of the Earth Clan! This is going to be a big trouble!"
"Yes, the Earth Clan is one of the top four clans. How important is a disciple? If the man in white dares to kill him, he will never be able to leave Xihe City!"
Suddenly, the whole building was in uproar.
The young man in white frowned slightly: "Since the three seniors are in the restaurant, they should know what happened. This person stole my things, and when I found out, he wanted to kill me to get the treasure. I killed him instead, so what's wrong with that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the building heard them.
Those who heard it looked at each other in surprise, as this was indeed the truth.
In the underworld, stealing is a common thing. Whether the thief should be put to death is another matter. But after being discovered, it is completely reasonable for him to be killed in return for the treasure.
Even in modern society, it is considered self-defense.
The old man in the middle slowly raised his head!
When he raised his head, the whole world seemed to be slowly lifted up by him, and an invisible power dominated the sky and the earth!
"You dare to kill someone from the Earth Clan?"
Eight words, simple and crude. You can say he is unreasonable, but there is no doubt about the weight of this sentence.
The white-clothed man's eyes turned cold, but this coldness only lasted for a moment. Soon, his eyes were indifferent again: "I have heard for a long time that Xihe City is a place with laws. Now that I am here in person, it is true that seeing is believing!"
Law!
Everyone in the building was shocked at the same time...
Yes, no matter how domineering the people of your Earth Clan are, you can't completely ignore the law, right?
As the door curtain outside was lifted, a team of yamen runners rushed in. Each of them was majestic and had the power of an official.
The yamen runners split into two groups, and a middle-aged official in the uniform of a fourth-rank official strode in.
"Mr. Prefect!" The fat owner of the restaurant crawled down from the second floor, walked around the body of the man in black, and greeted the official.
"The prefect has arrived!"
"This matter indeed needs to be resolved by someone from the government..."
There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant...
The prefect's majestic eyes slowly lifted up from the body of the man in black on the ground and stared at the man in white: "Did you kill the man on the ground?"
"Yes!" said the man in white, "Please listen to what I have to say, sir. This man..."
"Just admit that you killed him!" The prefect interrupted him and said, "Come here, arrest him!"
boom!
The two teams of yamen runners marched at the same time.
The restaurant was shaken to its core.
The iron chain was across the sky, the sword was raised diagonally, and the young man in white was staring at the flashes of swords in the air. The autumn light in his eyes suddenly became a little colder: "Mr. Prefect, you are doing your job without asking the reason?"
The prefect said coldly: "Before I entered the door, I heard you mention the word law! Today, I will tell you clearly that under the chains of law, anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot. This... is the law!"
The restaurant was in complete silence.
It was dead silent.
Everyone can see what happened today, the death of the man in black, that he was destined to die.
If only the three elders of the Earth Clan wanted to kill the man in white, they would indeed be unreasonable and against the law.
But at this moment, the prefect, representing the government, brought a large number of yamen runners to arrest him, and in a blink of an eye, the law and justice fell into the hands of the prefect.
When the police are investigating a case, you must not resist arrest, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!
This is also the law!
In theory, when the police take the person away, the onlookers can disperse.
But everyone was very nervous.
Because they were all sensitively aware that the man in white under the police chains today was definitely not someone who could be taken away casually.
His eyes are like a glacier!
With his cultivation level that allowed him to kill Yuan San with just a wave of his hand, no one could predict how big a turmoil he would cause if he exploded.
However, no one dared to step forward.
Because the locals all know that as long as it involves the death of foreigners, it will be extremely dangerous, and anyone who blindly steps forward will be dragged into a bottomless abyss.
Just when the whole audience was suffocating.
Just as the eyes of the man in white slowly turned into a frozen state...
Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor: "The prefect is on duty and should find out the whole story of the case."
The prefect suddenly looked up!
Everyone in the building locked their eyes on...
On the second-floor windowsill, a handsome young man, holding a cup of tea in his hand, raised his hand to the prefect and said, "Prefect, I was here when the murder happened just now. I saw it clearly. The deceased stole people's property first, and after being found out, he even killed people in public. According to emotion, reason and law, he deserves death! The young man in white killed in self-defense, so he is not guilty at all."
In the eyes of the young man in white, a crack suddenly appeared on the glacier that stretched thousands of miles.
The suffocating feeling in the building seemed to be suddenly broken.
A faint light flashed in the eyes of the three Earth Clan elders, and they fixed their eyes firmly on the young man on the second floor. He was, of course, Lin Su.
"There is another accomplice!" said the middle elder.
"That's right!" said another elder, "Sir, this gang member must also be arrested!"
The prefect nodded and waved his hand gently: "Come here, take them down together!"
At the command, more than a dozen yamen runners flew up at the same time, and pounced in front of Lin Su with their fangs and claws bared...
Lin Su's face suddenly darkened!
A muffled sound!
More than a dozen yamen runners fell from the sky as if struck by lightning.
"How brave you are to resist arrest!" The prefect raised his hand suddenly, and an official seal flew into the air!
As the official seal came out, a sense of righteousness rose up from the void, carrying with it tremendous power.
This is the power of the official seal.
In the Great Cang Realm, there is the power of the official seal.
Here, too, there is the power of the official seal.
Although they are both official seals, the power of the official seals is worlds apart.
The fourth-grade official seal here carries tens of millions of years of heritage of the Immortal Dynasty and the righteous imperial secrets passed down by the Immortal Dynasty, and is comparable to the power of a quasi-saint.
Even the man in white, who had been in the vortex as if nothing had happened, had changed color.
Perhaps he was not afraid of the power of the official seal itself.
However, the imperial aura and righteous aura that the official seal carries can still move everyone.
This seal was aimed at Lin Su!
It was like an insurmountable mountain pressing down on Lin Su's head.
Suddenly, Lin Su flicked his finger...
A token appears at your fingertips!
Chi!
Tokens fly out!
The token, when first appeared, was like a sword.
Suddenly, the void became bright!
With this light, the imperial energy is infinite!
Ten times more powerful than the prefect’s official seal!
boom!
As soon as the order was issued, the prefect's official seal fell from the sky and hit the ground in front of the prefect, sinking more than three feet deep!
And that token rose up into the void, with two large golden characters stretching across the sky.
"Monitor!"
The supervisory order was issued, with three dragon patterns.
Third grade!
The prefect's expression suddenly changed...
Everyone in the audience's faces changed...
In the distant City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord He Paiyun suddenly looked up, staring at the three dragon-shaped shadows circling in the air and the word "Supervision" that stretched across the sky. His brows suddenly frowned, and he moved his feet, passed through the void, and landed on the restaurant with a swish.
"City Lord!" The prefect knelt down suddenly.
"Mr. City Lord!" Everyone in the building knelt down.
The area of Xihe is almost an isolated city.
The city lord He Paiyun is almost the king of this world.
The city lord He Paiyun did not look at the people kneeling at his feet, nor did he look at the prefect whose expression changed suddenly. He stared at Lin Su on the second floor and the supervisory order that was hovering like a swallow at his fingertips.
"Your Excellency the Third-Rank Inspector of the Immortal Dynasty?" He Paiyun asked.
"That's right!" Lin Su pointed his finger and the supervision order disappeared into thin air.
"What's your surname, sir?"
"Lin Su!"
"Greetings to Lord Lin, the Inspector!" He Paiyun bowed.
The Lord of Xihe City is actually also the Governor of Xihe, a second-rank local lord, while Lin Su is only a third-rank lord.
Logically speaking, he is two levels higher than Lin Su, but the Inspector General is such a transcendent official position, and when he goes down to the local level, he is an imperial envoy. No matter how high your level is, you must first salute the Inspector General, and then the Inspector General will return the gift to you according to the size of your official position.
However, Lin Su did not play by the rules.
He accepted He Paiyun's greeting without any intention of returning the greeting. He said calmly, "Lord He, have you received the order from His Majesty to prepare for the Magpie Bridge Meeting in Xihe?"
He Paiyun said: "Just received it!"
Lin Su said: "The meeting at the Magpie Bridge is the top event of the two regions. It will benefit the two regions and benefit future generations. The purpose of this meeting is to form a marriage alliance and to exchange ideas. If there is no law to escort it, who among the world's heroes will dare to come? If no heroes dare to come to a grand event, then won't the grand events of the two regions be a joke? Lord He, do you agree?"
"Of course! Xihe Prefecture and Xihe City have already made comprehensive arrangements to ensure that the laws are in place and order is in place, to safeguard the grand event of the Immortal Dynasty."
"Since Lord He has made such arrangements, it couldn't be better!" Lin Su said, "Today, this white-clothed hero came to Xihe and his property was stolen. After discovering it, the thief suddenly killed people in public. This brother killed him in self-defense. Lord He, should this brother be held responsible?"
He Paiyun's eyes darkened. "Article 31, Paragraph 2 of the Immortal Dynasty Law clearly stipulates that those who cause trouble without reason and kill others will be executed on the spot without guilt! Those who kill others in self-defense are naturally not guilty!"
The whole audience burst into uproar!
The uproar that had just been set off was instantly quelled, and then suffocated again because the situation was so extraordinary.
Lin Su said: "Yes, Lord He is a government official, so he naturally knows the "Laws of the Immortal Dynasty". But the question is, the prefect kneeling at your knees is also a government official, so why doesn't he know the "Laws of the Immortal Dynasty"? "
The prefect, who was lying on the ground, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He looked up suddenly, and a majestic gaze cast down upon him from above. It was the gaze of the city lord He Paiyun.
Countless gazes were cast down from all directions, the eyes of the spectators burning with excitement.
In front of him was Lin Su's eyes. Although the river was still full of spring, there was a hint of late spring chill in the river...
The prefect said, "Sir, I just want to bring him back to the government office first and make a judgment on whether he is guilty after the trial. I have no intention of deliberately violating the "Law of the Immortal Dynasty."
"That makes sense!" He Paiyun nodded gently: "Master Lin, Magistrate Zhang has been an official for thirty years, and he has always been mature and prudent, and he has always done things..."
Lin Su raised his hand gently: "Lord He, you and I are both officials, and we know some of the ways in the officialdom. There is no need to explain. I will try you on the spot, and God will cleanse your heart!"
The four words "Heaven's Way Cleanses the Heart" fell!
The prefect's eyes suddenly became dull.
He Paiyun's expression suddenly changed...
The three Earth Clan elders nearby could hardly believe their ears...
Lin Su's voice was full of mystery: "Zhang Zhifu, are you deliberately protecting the people of the Earth Clan?"
"Yes!"
As soon as this answer came out, the whole city was in an uproar.
The faces of the three elders of the Earth Clan were as gloomy as water.
He Paiyun slowly closed his eyes.
Some things are governed by rules, and some rules cannot be broken...
However, Lin Su, the young and ignorant man, still broke it.
I took a step that I absolutely shouldn't have taken.
"Why do you deliberately protect the Earth Clan?"
"Because I came to power thanks to the Earth Clan. If I offend them, I will be ruined."
"So, no matter whether this man in white is justified in killing the disciple of the Earth Clan or not, you must kill him and report to your master of the Earth Clan?"
"Yes!"
"Have you done a lot of things like this for the Earth Clan?"
"There are nearly a hundred cases in total..."
The whole building was as quiet as night, and it felt suffocating. However, within the suffocation, there was a suppressed anger flowing...
This is the root cause of the tyranny of the people of the Earth Clan in Xihe City.
They supported a large number of officials to serve in various departments. When the people of the Earth Clan committed crimes, these people acted as their umbrellas. When there were murders, they helped the Earth Clan to find excuses. When the Earth Clan members were killed, they would avenge them even if they broke the "Laws of the Immortal Dynasty".
what is this?
The Earth Clan has become a superior class, and cannot be provoked or touched.
The human race has become an inferior class, with no place to redress grievances and no place to vent their anger. Is this still a city for the human race?
Are these authentic human officials still human?
Lin Su's voice fell silent, and the prefect fell limply to the ground, his consciousness slowly returning to him...
Lin Su's eyes fell on He Paiyun's face: "Master He, what does Article 59, Paragraph 3 of the Immortal Dynasty Law say?"
He Paiyun slowly opened his eyes, and when he did, his expression was extremely complicated: "Lord Lin, what Prefect Zhang did was indeed improper. How about removing him from his post as Prefect and confining him to the prefecture to reflect deeply?"
The face of Prefect Zhang, who had just woken up, changed drastically...
Was he fired?
In the whole Xihe, which official did not do the same? Why was he punished so severely?
Unexpectedly, Lin Su spoke coldly: "Master He, what I want to ask you is... What does Article 59, Paragraph 3 of the "Immortal Dynasty Law" say?"
The prefect was shocked...
The proposal for dismissal was made by the city lord and prefect, and the inspector from the capital did not agree!
Repeatedly emphasize Article 59, Paragraph 3 of the Xian Dynasty Law.
Oh my god, that’s not possible, is it?
He Paiyun's eyebrows trembled slightly: "Master Lin, this matter is of great importance, please..."
Lin Su takes one step forward!
"Article 59, Paragraph 3 of the "Laws of the Immortal Dynasty" clearly stipulates that officials who collude with foreign races and powerful families to oppress the people and cause death shall be executed! Lord He, the laws of the Immortal Dynasty are above, and there is no room for bargaining. Lord Prefect, do you want to execute him or should I?"
The whole place was petrified.
诛?
Dismissal from office doesn't count, so why do we have to kill this prefect?
Do we have to make such a big deal out of this?
He Paiyun was troubled: "Sir, this matter..."
Lin Su raised his hand, the supervisory order reappeared in his hand, and interrupted directly: "Since Lord He is so entangled, I will do it for you!"
Chi!
The supervisory order turned into a stunning sword that pierced through Magistrate Zhang's forehead.
Prefect Zhang shouted, "No..."
The sound became silent, and with a bang, his whole body exploded into a bloody mist.
Lin Su turned in the air, and the bloody inspection order flew back into the void and landed in his hand. The last drop of blood fell from the sky and landed on the head of an elder of the Earth Clan.
Above the elder's head, it turned into a thin blood mist.
Lin Su said: "Lord He, from now on, don't mention the "Laws of the Immortal Dynasty" anymore, because it is useless to mention the laws that are known but not implemented!"
He Paiyun's face twitched...
An elder of the Earth Clan below slowly raised his head and said, "Master Lin, the Supervisor, you really have great authority."
The sound was not loud, but everyone in the building could hear it.
Those who heard it were horrified, because everyone heard a strong murderous intent in these extremely plain words.
Lin Su turned his gaze towards the elder: "Do you know why I have such great authority?"
Ok?
Can you still answer like this?
This is not the standard answer to this kind of question. The official's power is too great, which is an accusation against officials. No official should admit it, but he admitted it.
The elder said coldly: "Because the lord is young and energetic, and he is very confident in his high position."
"Wrong!" Lin Su said, "I am showing off my authority today for one reason. In Xihe City, there is really too little authority. It is time to emphasize to you what an official is, what a commoner is, what a branch is, and what a leaf is!"
When the voice fell, the person had returned to the room.
The windows closed with the wind.
Leaving the whole building in a mess.
The people in the restaurant looked at each other...
It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a tough senior official, and it was the first time in their lives that they realized that official power could be so exciting.
Xihe City is called the human city, but humans have long become second-class citizens due to the oppression of thirty-six alien races.
Whenever there are disputes with other races, humans have never been fair.
But today, the Inspector General from the capital was extremely tough.
He put an end to the chaos and publicly unveiled the ugly veil between the officialdom and the foreign races. He directly executed the prefect who was an accomplice to the evil, confronted the city lord in person, and finally stepped on the heads of the elders of the top four tribes of the Earth Clan.
His words were also full of mystery. In Xihe City, there was too little official authority.
It is time to emphasize to you what officials are, what citizens are, what branches are, and what leaves are!
what for?
Aliens need to know that this is the human race’s city!
You are just people!
You are just leaves!
Everything has to be prioritized, and there should be a conceptual distinction between managers and those being managed. Don't be too cocky and forget your own weight!
This is setting rules for foreigners in person!
When Lin Su returned to the guest room, Zhuer jumped up and said, "Sir, you look so majestic today. I like you so much... Have a cup of tea!"
Holding the teacup, I wished I could melt myself, turn into tea, and send it into his mouth.
Ji Qianling's eyes originally had a certain degree of obsession, but at this moment, the obsession turned into rolling eyes, and he was somewhat disgusted by this scene...
There was a gentle knock on the door.
The pig jumped back.
Ji Qianling frowned slightly...
"Lord Lin, are you willing to talk?" Seven words came from outside the door, coming from a familiar person.
To be exact, someone I just got to know.
Cranes fly through the clouds.
"Come in!" Lin Su waved his hand gently, the door opened, and He Paiyun walked in.
Ji Qianling stood up and bowed.
Lin Su sat on the chair, holding the teacup that Zhuer had just given him, and did not stand up at all.
He Paiyun didn't seem to notice Lin Su's rudeness. He walked straight to Lin Su and sat down.
Zhu'er was a bit obedient at this moment, fulfilling her maid's duties and pouring a cup of tea for the old man.
He Paiyun took the teacup and smiled gently: "Master Lin, do you think that I am not worthy of being an official?"
"Master He, you are asking the wrong person!" Lin Su said, "Whether someone is qualified to be an official or not, it is not up to me to say. It is not up to you to say it either. It is the people in your jurisdiction who have the final say. Master He, why don't you go ask the people in your jurisdiction?"
There was no formality in this meeting as usual.
"Master Lin, what you said makes sense! How an official performs depends on the people's livelihood!" He Paiyun said, "However, Xihe Prefecture has eighty-three counties. If I ask the people of Zejiang County, guess what they will say?"
"Zejiang County?" Lin Su said, "It's the county where the barbarians almost destroyed the entire territory because the county magistrate disobeyed the barbarians, right?"
"So you, sir, also know about this!" He Paiyun said, "There were originally more than 700,000 people in Zejiang County. Just because the magistrate Hong Song ignored the pleas of the other tribes and personally killed 39 people of the Yi tribe, the Yi tribe rose up and killed more than 700,000 people in Zejiang County, leaving less than 30% of them. Lord Lin is familiar with historical materials. As a third-rank official, he must also be well versed in sacred principles. In Lord Lin's opinion, in the eyes of these villagers who have lost their parents and relatives, is the once upright magistrate Hong Song worthy of being a county chief?"
Ji Qianling's heart was in turmoil...
She hasn't experienced much in this world...
But she knew the principles of the world very well.
Different angles and different perspectives will lead to different visual impressions.
If only the first half was read, she would have to admit that County Magistrate Hong, who dared to speak up for the people, was a competent county magistrate. However, because he killed thirty-nine people and made the people of the county pay an unbearable heavy price, did the people really not hate him?
Lin Su picked up the teacup and asked, "What do you think, Master He?"
He kicked the ball back.
He Paiyun let out a long sigh: "Things in the world are not as simple as they seem. Once you change your perspective, your perception will change. I believe that County Magistrate Hong is a good person. He also wanted to keep the area safe. However, things did not go as he wished. In the end, he ruined himself and 500,000 people. Therefore, he is a good person, but he may not be a good official."
Lin Su raised his eyes and said, "Lord He, what about you? Are you a good person or a good official?"
He Paiyun's face was full of confusion... (End of this chapter)
