Because Wang Tong is an outsider, the entire Yongzhou dare not say that it is his Li Zongming or the Li family's Yongzhou, but their Li family at least has the right to speak that is not weaker than the governor Wang Tong, and these ten people are all in name. You are an official appointed by the imperial court. How can you, General Ying Yanglang of Zhangye County under Yongzhou, have the qualifications to kill you at will? Moreover, a large number of people will be killed once this matter is spread to the capital, how will the court and the emperor be furious? What good would this do him, Wang Junlin? Could he be a lunatic?

With a few entourages, Li Zongming hurriedly rode his horse towards the outside of the south city, every time he took a step forward, his heart became more and more uneasy.

…

…

More than a hundred lackeys of the Li family were beheaded by Wang Junlin even though they told the truth, but Wang Junlin will promise to do his best to protect their families.

Wang Junlin was waiting for the execution of the dozen or so officials.

He is waiting for Li Zongming.

Today, there is a major event that will shock Yongzhou and even the entire imperial court. This event must be done in front of Li Zongming, otherwise it will not achieve the effect of establishing authority, and it will not be conducive to his further dealing with the Li family in Longxi.

More than a dozen soldiers who temporarily acted as executioners stood majestically on the stage, and the horizontal knives in their hands shone brightly in the sun, reflecting the cold light.

A group of officials knelt on the stage dejectedly, waiting desperately for the steel knife with a neck to swing down.

Half an hour later, a few panicked figures at the gate of Nancheng quickly walked towards the high platform here. At first, there were a few fuzzy small black dots, and then the small black dots gradually became larger. Finally, Li Zongming's familiar face The outline can already be seen slightly.

The corner of Wang Junlin's mouth twitched into a cold smile.

"The Marquis of Qin An kept people under his knife! This matter needs to be investigated further..." Li Zongming's anxious voice came from afar.

Before he finished speaking, Wang Junlin suddenly shouted violently.

"The time has come, the fourteen criminals in Yongzhou are unpardonable, behead them!"

The bright knife light swung down without hesitation. In Li Zongming's horrified eyes, fourteen big heads flew into the sky, and fourteen shocking fountains of blood gushed out.

Fourteen heads fell to the ground in unison, and the people in the audience were still in a daze state, including Li Zongming.

Until the fourteen criminals were caught and kneeled on the stage by Wang Junlin, everyone thought that Wang Junlin was just going through the motions to frighten them, and at most he could whip a few whips to show his prestige. After all, no matter how many people killed before, they were just untouchables, but these fourteen people were officials ordered by the court, which is completely different.

In fact, the purpose of Wang Junlin's prestige has been achieved by just catching those criminals and kneeling on the stage. However, it seems that Wang Junlin was not satisfied with teaching these officials a little lesson, but chose to settle it.

No one believed that Wang Junlin would really do it, but Wang Junlin did it.

Fourteen human heads rolled on the sand, and blood sprayed out towards the sky like arrows, and the entire area around the stage was stained red with steaming blood. More than a hundred and seventy lackeys of the Li family still screamed loudly.

After the victims exclaimed in alarm, there was a brief commotion soon, and then there was a change in the way they looked at Wang Junlin.

Compared to the terrified or surprised victims, Li Zongming was going crazy.

In front of him, no, it can be said that Wang Junlin deliberately waited until he arrived, and then deliberately ordered the beheading of fourteen officials in front of him. Li Zongming has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he is very clear about this kind of trick , is nothing more than suppressing his prestige as Sima, so as to establish his prestige as Wang Junlin, and perhaps there is a bit of revenge in it.

It was as quiet as death under the stage, Li Zongming seemed to be able to smell the faint smell of blood blowing in the wind from far away, in this open space as quiet as a grave, Li Zongming could even hear the ten The blood from the necks of the four headless corpses was still flowing out like a living spring.

Is Wang Junlin a lunatic?

These are not fourteen untouchables, but fourteen officials officially appointed by the imperial court. This lunatic will kill as soon as he gives the order. Doesn't he know what kind of consequences he will bear after the happy enmity? Why did he do this? Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the court and the emperor? What is he doing? Could it be that he is really a lunatic?

It happened so suddenly, Li Zongming stood under the high platform, staring blankly at Wang Junlin, who looked calm on the stage as if he had stepped on several ants to death, for a moment, he didn't know what expression to show to suit his mood Sima's identity.

Should I get angry to show my authority, or sneer to show my disdain for this childish way of establishing authority?

But, is this method really naive?

Li Zongming couldn't help looking at the tens of thousands of people watching, and some officials from Yongzhou looming in the corner. Everyone's eyes were focused on that lunatic Wang Junlin, with the same expression on their faces. Filled with deep fear and awe.

The effect of the fourteen heads of officials is far better than the effect of the previous one hundred and seventy-four heads, and to achieve such an effect, such a powerful means... Who can say that it is childish and ridiculous?

Li Zongming can assure you that if he ordered the beheading of fourteen officials of the Li family, even the current emperor would have many scruples and would definitely hesitate. But Wang Junlin did so.

Is Wang Junlin really stupid? Or is there another meaning? Or was it directed by someone he could not imagine? Li Zongming couldn't figure it out for a while, but he knew that the one who was really ridiculous now was probably Li Sima, the number two civil servant in Yongzhou.

Li Zongming couldn't help feeling deeply regretful. He knew that these fourteen people were hopeless, so he shouldn't have gone out just now. Sima's face and majesty can leave some room for turning around, he can advance or retreat, and he can be at ease.

However, standing here at this moment, he saw fourteen heads fall to the ground with his own eyes. Tens of thousands of people and countless officials in Yongzhou witnessed this scene and saw him. Should he advance or retreat at this time? Going back, Yongzhou probably only recognizes Qin Anhou in the next few days, and does not know who Li Zongming is. Further, it is refreshing to step forward to scold him, but... the guy standing on the stage is a lunatic. It can't be guessed by common sense. At this time, he is ready to kill. What if his words are too strong to arouse his murderous intent...

Li Zongming was very convinced that a lunatic who dared to kill fourteen officials in one go would never mind killing one more Yongzhou Sima.

At this moment, here and now, Li Zongming found himself in a dilemma, standing on the edge of the high platform, not knowing what to say or what to do, his mind was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't find a suitable idea.
