For those who have never fought in a war, it is difficult to imagine the conduct of a general who often runs rampant on the battlefield.

Zhou An was stunned.

Zhou Lin was also dumbfounded.

A soldier from the Divine Guards grabbed Zhou An with one hand and held him down on the ground like a duck. Another soldier pulled out his hand and held him down on the ground.

Zhou An resisted desperately, but he was like a fish on the chopping board.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the soldier took off the ax from his waist with his right hand and struck it down without hesitation.

There was a muffled sound, as if the ax struck a tree. Zhou An's left wrist was severed, and blood flowed out.

Zhou An's screams instantly made everyone feel like they were in a pig-killing farm.

He struggled frantically, but couldn't break free no matter what, sweating profusely on his forehead.

The huge pain almost made him faint.

Another soldier had already filled a bucket of water with a wooden bucket and poured it on Zhou An.

The surrounding officials were so frightened that they stayed where they were.

Who would have thought that Zhou An, who was the most dandy boy in Yongzhou City that morning, would end up like this.

His father, Zhou Lin, was completely frightened.

Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He jumped up and shouted loudly: "How dare you commit such a murder!"

Wu Lin ignored him, but asked Zhou An, whose willpower had collapsed: "Who asked you to arrest and sell people among the people?"

Zhou An was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He was just trembling and his face became as pale as paper.

Wu Linyan said concisely and concisely: "I will count to three, but I will chop it up now and throw it into the wild to feed the dogs!"

"one……"

"I said! I said..." Zhou An struggled to squeeze out a few words from his mouth.

Zhou An raised his other hand and pointed at Zhou Lin...

Zhou Lin's face changed wildly. He had just condemned Wu Lin, and then he said angrily: "You traitor! I didn't expect you to be such a person! You dare to traffic people behind my back! You beast! I will beat you to death, you traitor! What are you doing?

Worthy of my Zhou family..."

Zhou Lin was about to step forward and kick Zhou An, but was stopped.

Zhou An shouted with all his strength: "Zhou Zhizhou ordered me to do this. He said I could make a lot of money..."

"You're talking nonsense! You traitor..."

"How can a son in the world identify his father? It seems to be true." Wu Lin said coldly.

Zhou Lin was so scared that he was sweating profusely. He quickly said: "Commander, this is a misunderstanding. There must be a misunderstanding..."

Before Zhou Lin could finish his words, Wu Lin said: "Zhou Zhizhou, I have just come to Guangnan West Road. I am not familiar with the place and I need to establish my authority. Why don't I lend you something to establish my authority?"

"This..." Zhou Lin took two steps back, looking horrified.

"Zhou Lin, the magistrate of Yongzhou, ordered his son to traffic in the people of the Song Dynasty and lost all conscience. As a general manager, I should enforce the law impartially. I can give an explanation to the emperor and be worthy of the people!" Wu Lin said with murderous intent, "Come on.

People, push Zhou Lin out and chop him down."

Immediately, two soldiers came forward to arrest Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin cursed: "I am an official of the imperial court. How can you kill an official of the imperial court based on one-sided words, even if you are an envoy? I will go to His Majesty to impeach you."

!You still don’t let me go immediately!”

Yan Pei slapped Zhou Lin so hard that his face was half swollen and he was stunned.

It wasn't until he was dragged to the door that he realized what was happening and continued shouting: "You can't kill me! You can't kill me..."

Soon, Zhou Lin's head was brought in, and blood flowed all over the floor. The Divine Guards didn't seem to care.

On the other hand, other officials in Zhizhou Yamen were frightened and cowered aside without uttering a word.

Wu Lin looked at Zhou An and said, "This person has proven meritorious service. He can be spared the death penalty but cannot escape the crime of living. We must arrest him."

Zhou An was also arrested.

That week Lin's head was sent to be hung at the city gate.

Wu Lin then went to the Economic and Strategy Department.

The news that the imperial envoy had arrived in Yongzhou soon spread like wildfire and reached the Transportation Department, where the Changping Department and the Punishment Department were promoted.

All the officials were shocked when they heard that the newly arrived economic and strategic envoy had killed Zhizhou, but they had to rush to the Economic and Strategic Department to see Wu Lin immediately.

It stands to reason that the envoy of economic affairs is on the same level as the chiefs of these three yamen, but Wu Lin has another title: envoy of comfort!

When civil unrest, disaster, etc. occur in a local area, the imperial court will send an imperial envoy to represent the imperial court to manage and coordinate the local area.

This role is that of a comforter.

The pacification envoy and the economic envoy are both regional official positions and can take charge of several roads.

The economic strategist is biased towards military affairs, the pacification magistrate is biased towards people's livelihood, that is, administration, and the judicial pacification magistrate has the power to seize it with one hand.

At the local level, the Tidian Prison Envoy in charge of justice, the Transport Envoy in charge of people's livelihood and finance, and the Changping Division Envoy all report to the Comfort Envoy.

Under normal circumstances, only economic envoys are given, and in special circumstances they can also serve as pacification envoys.

Obviously this is a special situation.

Soon, all the officials gathered at the Economic and Strategy Department, but these officials were not good at making mistakes, and they were ready to give Wu Lin a blow over Zhou Lin.

When they arrived at the door, Hou Zhu, the envoy to Changping, said: "I heard that the blood at the door of Zhizhou Yamen has not dried yet, and people from the northwest are tough!"

Zhang Chao, the prison chief, said: "No matter how stubborn you are, you can't kill the imperial officials here at will. This is transgression!"

"Let's go! Let's go in and meet this Wu Lin! Let him know that this is the southwest, not the northwest!"

After everyone entered, Wu Lin was already waiting.

Seeing Wu Lin, everyone first bowed politely.

Immediately, Liu Zhao, the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, said: "I heard that Wu Shuai just came and killed Zhou Lin, the prefect?"

His tone was rather unkind. Although the other officials were respectful on the surface, they were obviously waiting to use this matter to put pressure on Wu Lin.

Wu Lin said: "What's the problem?"

Liu Zhao said: "The problem is big. Zhou Lin is an official of the imperial court. Without any judicial procedures, no one has the right to kill him, except for the Emperor's Holy Judgment!"

Wu Lin said: "Now that the person is dead, what do you want?"

Zhang Chao said: "Wu Shuai is not afraid of people's dissatisfaction?"

Yan Pei said: "Zhou Lin trafficked people to Jiaozhi. This is a capital crime!"

"Even if it is a capital crime, it is not your turn to deal with it. It is a state-owned law!"

Wu Lin smiled and said: "That's a coincidence. I have a sword gifted by the emperor here, as well as a copy of the emperor's holy edict. Cut it first and then report it. It is authorized by the imperial power!"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Liu Zhao said angrily: "Wu Lin, how can you win over the people like this?"

"Not convinced?" Wu Lin chuckled, "Zhang Sixian, you're not convinced either?"

Zhang Chao snorted: "How can you convince everyone with your style?"

"As for the Zhou and his son's human trafficking, you, as the prison chief, were not aware of it. How dare you show your dissatisfaction in front of me?"

"I..." Zhang Chao said for a moment.
