Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Ma Jiawei covered his chest and nearly fainted from anger. Secretary Yu, the loyal lackey, rushed up and was about to attack him, but Liu Gangding kicked him without any hesitation. Secretary Yu screamed and fell flat on his face, rolling on the ground like a turtle.

"Secretary Yu, look at you. You are old and you are not careful when you walk. Okay, Mr. County Magistrate, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. If you are interested, you can come and watch the public trial at noon."

At twelve o'clock noon, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a midsummer day, with even the air carrying a bit of heat. However, the people of Sanjiang County had already been waiting eagerly at Caishikou, ready to see whether the security team had really captured Lu Guoquan.

On the street in the distance, a team of majestic security soldiers, in spotless uniforms, marched in neat steps, escorting Wang Mazi, Lu Guoquan and others to Caishikou.

In the crowd, Liu Ershun's father, who had rushed to watch the excitement after hearing the news, looked at Liu Ershun walking behind Su Zhengyang and proudly said, "That's my son Ershun. He is now the company commander of the security team and earns four dollars a month. Look, how energetic he is!"

"These security guards are different. They are all so strong and energetic. They look more respectable than the regular soldiers."

"I've heard before that the security team eats meat every day, and they pay monthly salaries. If you join the army, you can get two dollars as a resettlement allowance. I'm going to send my son to join the army."

"Look everyone, that really seems to be Lu Guoquan from Qingfeng Mountain. I know him, it's him. He did all kinds of bad things near Yanlin Town. I never thought he would end up like this!"

"And the one behind, isn't that old man Wang Mazi? We used to be from Shuizhai Village, but we couldn't stand the harm caused by this group of people, so we came to settle down near the county town."

"It seems that what the notice says is true. The new Captain Su really wants to publicly try and execute them!"

"Captain Su is such a good man."

"He is handsome, has fair skin and is tall. He looks like a young master from a wealthy family."

The young girls and wives all cast admiring glances at Su Zhengyang. Even Su Zhengyang, who was thick-skinned enough, blushed at this moment.

Soon, the soldiers from the first company of the first battalion escorted several bandit leaders to the stands that had been set up in Caishikou.

Several bandit leaders knelt down under the coercion of the security soldiers. Su Zhengyang walked up to the stands and shouted to the people gathered below: "Fellow villagers, this Lu Guoquan has gathered more than 600 people to rob and loot in the area around Yanlin Town. After three months of training, our security team lived up to everyone's expectations and wiped out Lu Guoquan, Wang Mazi and others who were causing trouble to the area. The bandit leader was also arrested and brought to justice. Today, in front of the villagers, we executed these unscrupulous bastards to vent our anger for our boss!"

"it is good!"

"It's so satisfying. This is how we deal with this kind of trouble!"

"Captain Su is such a good man!"

"Kill! Kill them!"

The people in the audience were very excited, and many of them even shed tears. People like Wang Mazi and Lu Guoquan had countless blood on their hands and caused countless families to be torn apart. The people who were persecuted by them even wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

On the street in the distance, a carriage was parked on the side of the road. Ma Jiawei in the carriage looked at Su Zhengyang who was giving an impassioned speech with a gloomy face, his eyes full of resentment.

Su Zhengyang had already seen Ma Jiawei sticking his head out of the car window. He sneered and suddenly pointed to the carriage road: "Fellow villagers, look, our County Magistrate Ma has heard about the execution of these bandit leaders and has also come to the scene. Come and see for yourself how our security team sends these bastards off!"

The people turned their heads subconsciously. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ma Jiawei had no choice but to get off the carriage, forced out an ugly smile, and waved to the people.

"Next, let's invite the chief official of Sanjiang County, our beloved County Mayor Ma Jiawei, to come up and say a few words!"

Ma Jiawei was slightly stunned, and under the jeers of the people, he had no choice but to come over.

Lu Guoquan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Ma Jiawei as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He shouted with a pale face: "Jiawei, please save me, I don't want to die, I am your cousin, you can't watch me die..."

The people all looked puzzled. Ma Jiawei kicked Lu Guoquan on the head and cursed him sternly, "Although Lu Guoquan is my cousin, he is lawless and a bandit who brings disaster to the neighbors. I, Ma Jiawei, have always hated such people. I ask Captain Su to execute this villain as soon as possible and not let him tarnish the reputation of this county chief."

Lu Guoquan couldn't believe his ears. After standing there in a daze for a while, he rushed to Ma Jiawei like a madman and bit Ma Jiawei's calf. Ma Jiawei immediately screamed: "Can't you see? This damn bandit is violent towards this county magistrate. Hurry up and pull this lunatic away!"

The soldiers yawned and lazily pulled Lu Guoquan away. A bloody tooth mark had already appeared on Ma Jiawei's calf.

"Ma Jiawei, you bastard, I give you so much money every year, but now that something has happened, you want to kill your relatives for the sake of justice. I curse you to die a miserable death and have no descendants!"

Ma Jiawei's expression changed, and he quickly said, enduring the severe pain: "Slander, this is naked slander, Captain Su, quickly shoot this damn bandit!"

At Su Zhengyang's command, several gunshots rang out. Lu Guoquan, Wang Mazi and others were shot several times and fell in a pool of blood.

The people burst into a wave of cheers and applause, but Ma Jiawei was in a state of embarrassment and fled from the scene.

"The duty of our security team is to protect the country and the people, so that the people can live and work in peace. From today on, with our Sanjiang County Security Team, the people of Sanjiang County will never be oppressed by any bully forces again! I also hope that fellow villagers can encourage their families to join the army and become soldiers of the security team, and contribute to the security of Sanjiang County!"

"Captain Su is right. When I get back, I will send my brother to join the Security Corps!"

The people below responded one after another, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm. After the soldiers of the security group collected the bodies of several bandit leaders, rolled them up with torn straw mats, and casually discarded them in the fields outside the city, this public trial was considered a successful completion.

The people were talking about it with great relish, and the topics they were discussing were all about the heroic Captain Su Zhengyang and the current situation of the security corps. Of course, they also did not forget to make fun of our self-deceiving and self-sacrificing County Mayor Ma Jiawei.
