The deathly silence lasted for an unknown period of time.
Until Pei Lun pulled out his knife and gently pushed the corpse of the thousand-man to the ground.
The noise spread again.
"You…you dare…"
The other Chiliarchies of the South Town Governor's Office went crazy, and they looked at Ling Chen as if he was a lunatic. At the same time, they subconsciously gathered together and retreated.
However, just as they moved…
A sharp, merciless, and domineering saber Qi seemed to have appeared in the darkness. In a flash, it tore the head of one of the thousand-man into pieces!
With a whoosh, the air was torn apart. There seemed to be only one saber light in the air, but it also seemed to be dozens of saber lights. On the body of another thousand-man, countless saber marks so deep that bones could be seen!
There was even a deafening roar as a single saber with a terrifying aura instantly sliced the third thousand-man in half!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three corpses fell to the ground, sending dust flying.
At the same time, 3 figures appeared in everyone's line of sight. They all had cold smiles on their faces as they bowed towards Ling Chen,"Thousand-Household Tyrannical Saber greets Your Excellency!"
"Thank you, sir, for your appreciation. I, Old Tian, can also become a Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"Azure Dragon thanks Lord for your kindness. From now on, I will go through fire and water!”
After bowing, the three of them stood together with Pei Lun. Their cold eyes locked onto everyone present.
Everyone went crazy!
Before this, they had already seen Ling Chen's tyrannical and arrogant ways in the guesthouse, which was why they had obediently come tonight. However, they had never thought that this person would kill in public again!
When a new official took office, it was natural to plant his trusted aides and eliminate dissidents. Everyone understood this. However, they were still the official thousand households of the Brocade Guard conferred by the imperial court. They were not nameless people in the entire imperial court!!
You can't be so unscrupulous, right?!
Aren't you afraid that the Emperor won't be able to answer to you?？
At this moment, only Lu Wenzhao's expression remained unchanged among the remaining nine Embroidered Uniform Guards.
He looked at the remaining three thousand households of the South Town Governor's Office, and his face even revealed a thick mocking expression."A bunch of idiots!"
"This official has been ordered to investigate the case of Xu Xianchun colluding with foreigners to betray the country.”
Ling Chen stood proudly, his cold gaze sweeping across everyone present, his voice like thunder, each word resounding,"These people colluded with Xu Xianchun and were killed on the spot. Where are the people from the Department for Purging Officials? Cross out the names of these Chiliarchies and let Ba Dao, Pei Lun, Tian Boguang, and Azure Dragon take over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few officials from the Department for Purging Officials walked out from behind him. They glanced at the corpses on the ground and swiftly picked up their pens to write and draw on the booklet in their hands.
Seeing this, the remaining Thousand Households understood that Ling Chen had already planned this!
He wanted to use this opportunity to completely subdue the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Anyone who refused to submit would be labeled as Xu Xianchun's accomplices and killed on the spot. After thinking about this, they finally realized that no matter whether they were innocent or not, as long as Ling Chen said that they were colluding with Xu Xianchun, they would be the rebels!
Even if it wasn't, it was!
With the sacred order, this person could completely distort the truth and frame others again!
In fact, many people understood this.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come obediently.
However, they all thought that they had been in the Embroidered Uniform Guards for many years and had some supporters in the court. If Ling Chen wanted to completely control the Embroidered Uniform Guards, wouldn't he have to rely on them?
Therefore, no matter how arrogant and overbearing this person was, he would definitely not use too radical a method this time!
However, they had never imagined that Ling Chen's methods were far more aggressive and tyrannical than anything they had imagined!
He would directly give the Embroidered Uniform Guards a huge change of blood!!
Thinking of this, the remaining Chiliarchies couldn't help but feel glad that they had survived-Ling Chen only had 4 trusted subordinates, and killing 4 Chiliarchies was enough.
Even Lu Wenzhao, who had seen through everything, thought the same.
It was also because of his reminder that the few thousand households of the North Zhenfu Department all obediently became cowards.
" Killing four thousand households is enough to establish our prestige. From now on, there won't be many people in the Nanbei Garrison who dare to disobey orders…"
Lu Wenzhao's expression changed drastically when he thought of this.
Reality had proven that Ling Chen's arrogance was far beyond his understanding!
"This official has just taken charge of the Northern Garrison and needs many confidants.”
Ling Chen's calm voice rang out, and he didn't hide his intentions at all. He looked towards the edge of the crowd, at the 10 or so people who had originally been under Thousand Households Liu, and said,"Which one of you is Lu Jianxing? Who is Jin Yichuan?"
Before anyone could react, he looked behind Lu Wenzhao."Who is Shen Lian?"
Three figures slowly walked out under their bewildered gazes.
Pei Lun took a step forward, took out a booklet, and quickly read it,"Chief Banner Lu Jianxing was originally a hereditary centenarian, but because he didn't have the money to bribe his superiors, he only became a chief banner. Furthermore, he was completely not put in an important position under Thousand Households Liu. However, his Yanchi Saber Technique was passed down from his father!”
"Xiao Qi Jin Yichuan uses two sabers in one hand called Flying Sparrow. It's impossible to guard against!”
"Baihu Shen Lian, from the border army, under the care of Qianhu Lu Wenzhao, his knife skills are outstanding and his official career is prosperous!”
Putting away the book, he turned to Ling Chen and said,"Sir, this is the saber expert that I found in the Embroidered Uniform Guards system after an open and secret investigation. He is definitely not Xu Xianchun's accomplice!”
"Very good."
Ling Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. His gaze swept across Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan,"When Xu Xianchun was around, you were suppressed to the point where you had no chance to stand out. Now, I will give you a chance.”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed at the three remaining thousand households of the South Town Governor's Office."After killing these three accomplices of Xu Xianchun, you will be my trusted aides, and you will be…"
"South Town Governor of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Thousand Households!"
The moment he said this, everyone was shocked and then went into an uproar.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Ling Chen in disbelief. They felt that this Lord Ling had gone completely insane…he actually wanted to use such a method to select his subordinates!
The remaining three thousand-man officials of the South Town Governor's Office were dumbfounded!
The trace of relief that had just surfaced in his heart was instantly replaced by a bone-chilling chill!
This person was actually so ruthless?
This was the rhythm of wiping out the South Town's Chancellor and making Lord Ying completely powerless!!
Poor Ying Wuqiu. He went out to buy a drink, and when he came back, he would find that his South Town Commissioner was no longer his South Town Commissioner…
How stifled was this?
