The humble villain

"Marshal Lin is so powerful. I know I am no match for him."

"I also know that my aunt's attack on you is an unforgivable crime."

"But I beg you, Marshal Lin, to spare his life for the many years he has worked so hard for our family and for the loss of his beloved son!"

Having said this, Fang Zhu suddenly raised his head.

"Marshal Lin, aren't you going to send warriors to the front lines?"

"Fang Zhu is willing to be Marshal Lin's vanguard."

"As long as you can let my aunt go, my life will be yours."

Before he finished speaking, many elderly warriors in the crowd knelt on the ground.

"I beg Marshal Lin to spare the old city lord's life."

"We are willing to serve as the vanguard of General Lin, fighting bravely and until our death."

"Boom~~~~~~~~"

Before everyone finished speaking, a huge roar suddenly sounded.

For a moment, smoke and dust filled the air.

The moment the voice sounded, everyone felt a pang in their hearts.

Many people even had red eyes and shed turbid tears.

They were unwilling to betray the Fang family for Di Lan, not because they didn't care about Di Lan.

But the Fang family has too many ties that belong to them.

This Lin Fan is too powerful and too domineering.

They knew very well how powerful the old city lord was.

Unexpectedly, Yu Linfan didn’t even make three moves.

When the smoke and dust cleared, three figures emerged.

Then he saw a huge jade coffin, which was less than three inches away from Fang Zhu's body, inserted straight into the bluestone slab in front of him.

Although it did not fall on him, the terrifying force had already caused blood to flow from all his orifices.

Lin Fan glanced at Fang Zhu coldly, then supported the coffin with his right hand and put his left hand behind his back.

After looking around at the people kneeling on the field, he slowly spoke:

"Are you all warriors who followed Di Lan before?"

They naturally knew what Lin Fan meant.

Then he nodded.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints his own ministers. Many warriors who previously followed Di Lan were gradually pushed to the margins after Fang Mei became the city lord.

But the sentiment of the old battlefield remains.

Today Di Lan is about to die, and the group of old men who once followed Di Lan to fight on the battlefield have stood up again.

Lin Fan nodded.

Then he spoke:

"The warriors of Lancheng are truly loyal and righteous."

"Di Lan defied the master and attempted to assassinate me in public."

"You are all witnesses to this."

"I wanted to kill him, so that the law would be right."

“However, seeing you all willing to die for me, Lin Fan is deeply moved.”

"Let's just let him go today."

As soon as these words came out, all the warriors were delighted and said one after another:

"We thank Marshal Lin for not killing me."

"We thank Marshal Lin for not killing me."

"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."

Just as everyone was filled with tears of gratitude, Lin Fan's icy voice rang in everyone's ears again.

“Remember your words today.”

"You exchanged your life for Di Lan's life."

"From today on, you will have nothing to do with him or Lancheng anymore."

"He is also not among the 70% of warriors that were withdrawn."

"For the rest of your lives, you will fight for our Fang family and for me, Lin Fan."

"If you break this oath, I, Lin Fan, will kill all your relatives, even if they are at the ends of the earth."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other bitterly.

They knew that the Di Lan lineage of the Fang family in Lancheng was finished.

They are finished too.

I originally wanted to save Di Lan, but I didn't expect that my relatives would be dragged into the water.

Everyone had seen how ruthless Lin Fan was and they knew it very clearly.

Lin Fan dared to say this in front of everyone.

If they break their oath, they will most likely kill all their relatives.

Then he bowed and said:

"We will obey."

After beating up a group of old men, Lin Fan turned his attention to Di Lan.

"Di Lan, you have made great contributions to our Fang family."

"I never thought that I would lose my integrity because of a rebellious son."

"You were doomed to die."

"But I will spare you because I consider you old and stupid, and because everyone is begging for mercy."

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."

"From now on, you will stay in the mansion and reflect on your mistakes!"

"From now on, if anyone dares to step out of the mansion without my order, the entire family will be killed."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Di Lan glanced at Lin Fan.

There was an expression on his face, and it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing.

Lin Fan didn't care about his expression. He stretched out his hand and sucked it into his palm.

Just throw it into the crowd.

"Take it back and take good care of it."

Upon seeing this, several people quickly lifted up Dylan's body and left quickly.

Lin Fan's gaze did not linger on those people for long, but instead looked at the Lancheng warriors who were lined up.

Just as he was about to appoint a general, Fang Wen quickly stepped forward and cryptically handed Lin Fan a jade slip.

Lin Fan took the jade slip and briefly looked through it.

He immediately looked at Fang Wen in confusion.

Name, age, appearance, rank, and preferred martial arts.

The jade slip records in detail the information of every high-level warrior in Lancheng.

Wow, what did Fang Wen do every day during his time in Lancheng?

Lin Fan quickly scanned the faces of everyone present, and at a glance, he discovered that there were still many fish that had escaped the net.

He formed seals with both hands and threw the patriarch's seal into the sky.

As the glow of the sky moved, a huge human face appeared out of thin air.

If this person doesn’t look like Lin Fan, then who could he be?

Lin Fan stared at the city below, and his cold voice echoed over the city.

"Next, any warrior whose name I call out will fail to reach the City Lord's Hall within a quarter of an hour and will be convicted of a family crime and killed!!!!!!!"

"Fang Yi, Fang Mu, Fang Xue, Fang Yu, Li Luan, Zhou Jiu, Mu Yunbai............................."

In just a few breaths, Lin Fan's voice enveloped the entire Lan City.

In an instant, the originally bustling city suddenly became quiet.

Then, loud noises instantly resounded in every corner of the city.

I saw an old man dressed as a butler running into a secret room with a panicked look on his face.

"No.....It's not good, sir."

"The old city lord Dilan was also captured by Lin Fan."

"Now he is shouting in the sky above Lan City, saying that anyone who does not come to the City Lord's Hall within a quarter of an hour will be punished for the crime of the family."

I saw a pale-faced scholar closing the book in his hand with an indifferent expression.

Said sarcastically:

"Huh!!!! How arrogant."

"Even the city lord has to respect me. Who the hell is Lin Fan?"

"How dare you say that? I will be sentenced to death for my family's crimes. Do you really think that I, Mu Yunbai, was frightened into submission?"

"That... that sir, the city lord has been killed by Lin Fan."

"What??????"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Yunbai stood up instantly.
