Just as Lu Ren was about to say goodbye and leave, Song Yue stopped him.

It was not to continue lobbying him, but to invite him to watch a good show.

Lu Ren was puzzled and followed the team to a wide square in the center of the county. A large number of people had gathered here.

Their eyes were burning, as if they were expecting something.

Lu Ren walked through the crowd and found that there was an execution ground in front of him.

A total of fourteen people were tied to wooden stakes, with a black cloth wrapped around their eyes.

Behind them was a group of soldiers wearing armor and looking solemn.

Fang Ling was also standing among them, holding a horizontal sword in his hand.

Song Yue sat on the high platform, looking calmly ahead.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere inside and outside the execution ground gradually became solidified and depressed.

Until the sun was high in the sky, the third quarter of noon finally arrived.

A scholar dressed as a master beside Song Yue stepped forward and publicly disclosed more than ten charges, including those of Shanyin County Magistrate Zhang Hongda and his subordinates Li Huo and others.

As the charges were announced one by one, the onlookers began to get angry and cursed.

"Being a minor official, he is more powerful than the emperor. Not only does he not benefit the people, but he even dares to collude with demons behind the scenes. He deserves to be put to death!"

"That’s right, this beast deserves to be cut into pieces!"

"Thank you, Governor, for getting rid of the evil for the people, so that our Shanyin County can return to peace."

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the sea, Song Yue opened his mouth with a cold face and ordered:"Behead!"

Fang Ling and other executioners raised their swords and chopped them off cleanly.

The heads rolled to the ground like fruits.

The blood was all over the execution platform, and the scene was shocking.

The people who had petitioned loudly before were now silent, and their eyes were either dull or afraid as they looked at the bloody scene in front of them.

On the other hand, Fang Ling and others who were executing the execution, even though they were splashed with hot blood, still waited in place like a statue.

Indifference and calmness are the norm for these soldiers.

For them, killing people on orders seems to be just a trivial matter.

After a short silence, someone in the crowd took the lead in applauding.

Then, thunderous applause

"pretty!"

"Well done!"

"So cool!"

Song Yue explained the follow-up matters to Fang Ling, then boarded the carriage surrounded by the people and returned to the county government.

In fact, apart from the county magistrate Zhang Hongda, only Li Huo had solid evidence of colluding with the demons.

The rest of the people were at most accomplices who helped the tyrant to commit atrocities and abuse their power, and they were not guilty of death.

But Song Yue still issued an order to execute them immediately.

This was a big show performed for the officials and people of Shanyin County and even all the 21 counties under the jurisdiction of Tianchen Prefecture.

He wanted to announce to the world that as long as he was the governor of Tianchen Prefecture, no form of crime or atrocities would be allowed on this land...........

The show was over, and Lu Ren left quietly.

After some inquiries, he found the base of the Demon Suppression Division in the county town.

It was a unique courtyard located in a remote area.

The environment was quiet and no one was disturbing it. It could be said to be a great place for meditation.

Lu Ren went forward and knocked on the door.

A doorman opened the door.

After looking at Lu Ren, he asked in confusion:"Who are you looking for?"

Lu Ren smiled and asked back:"Who else can you look for when you come here to look for someone?"

The doorman pursed his lips slightly in displeasure:"Lord Lin has been out for something."

Lu Ren pondered for a moment:"I can wait." The doorman rolled his eyes at him:"Lord Lin's whereabouts have always been uncertain, and no one knows when she will be back. It may be as short as a few hours, or as long as ten days and half a month. Are you sure you want to wait?"

Lu Ren's face froze, and he said helplessly:"Then I'll come back another day."

I didn't expect that a mere demon-suppression guard on guard would be so powerful that it would be difficult to meet him.

Anyway, it just so happened that he had some things to deal with in Yangliu Town.

After the demons around the town are completely cleared, it won't be too late to join the Demon Suppression Division.

Before returning, Lu Ren bought a batch of things that were not available in the town, including food, farm tools, books, etc.

He didn't have much money with him.

"The title of"Master Lu" obviously didn't work well in the county, and he couldn't buy on credit.

After thinking about it, he had to borrow some money from an acquaintance.

In the whole Shanyin County, he knew only Fang Ling.

The latter gave him the money reluctantly, and at the end he didn't forget to scold him, saying that he didn't know what was good for him.

Lu Ren was not angry, after all, Fang Ling was thinking about him.

Following the governor, the resources and status he got were definitely easier than those in the Demon Suppression Division.

A meteoric rise to fame was just around the corner.

Staying in the Demon Suppression Division, the road to promotion was extremely easy. is strict.

Many demon-suppressing guards have devoted their lives to hunting demons, but in the end they can't even get the title of lieutenant.

At most, they get a few more stars on their belts.

But how could Fang Ling know that Lu Ren was not a martial arts genius at all.

On the contrary, he was dull-witted, and it would take him dozens or even hundreds of years to master any martial arts.

For ordinary people, this is a lifetime.

Lu Ren wanted to improve himself, so he could only rely on killing demons to gain life.

When in doubt, just add points!

Obviously, the Demon-Suppressing Division was his best destination.
