Chapter 186: The Early Bird Gets the Worm
d kowtowing for mercy."I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!" Ling Hao replied coldly. "Don't worry, you won't be lonely for too long, the rest of your Blood Fiend Hall members will be down..."Received, Grand Marshal!" Ye Ji responded, then glared coldly at Wang Hongliang.
"Before that on the road, he intended to attack me at the shadow gate, this is one!"
"Just now, he unjustly wounded my shadow-gate young man, this is the second offense!"
"Disregarding rank and order, and acting against superiors, this is the third!"
"Three crimes added together, this is a serious offense. Cutting off your arm is because we're showing you leniency for being a first-time offender!"
Otherwise, death!
"Your Majesty, don't go too far! This is the capital city, not your Western Border. If you have the guts, kill me!" Wang Hongliang took a deep breath and glared at Ling Hao, shouting in defiance.
"You're asking for it!" Ye Ji frowned, her curved blade in hand, a cold light flashing as she shot out at incredible speed.
"No!"
Xie Yunhan and He Yunbo both cried out in surprise, and simultaneously made their move.
"Get out!"
Lu Yue spoke in a low voice, a surge of powerful energy sweeping out from his palm.
Knock! Knock!
The two of them hadn't fully formed their sword techniques, and they launched themselves backwards directly. They flew for thirty or forty meters before crashing to the ground, their bodies radiating a terribly weak aura.
"Half-Step Battle Saint!" Sensing the aura emanating from Lu Yue, both of them trembled with fright, their faces filled with shock.
The deputy marshal of the Western Regions, he's already at the cultivation level of a half-step Battle Saint!
Blood Shadow Squad, terrifying as ever!
Hmph!
Just as the two were flying backward, Ye Ji's blade had already flashed past Wang Hongliang's neck, a blood line immediately appearing at his throat.
Glug! Glug!
He fell headfirst to the ground, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word. His whole body convulsed several times before falling completely still.
At that moment, he truly regretted it. He never dreamed that the people from Yingmen would actually kill him!
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been the first to volunteer!
To please those behind him, he risked his own life. Why bother with that!
Yikes!
As Wang Hongliang fell, a gasp echoed through the scene. Everyone in the Department of Health trembled slightly, their eyes filled with boundless terror.
This is one of the three deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard! To say they'll kill, then kill them!
Yuan Hua, who had been standing by the side all along, also had a look of great excitement on his face.
He hadn't expected Ye Ji to actually kill Wang Hongliang.
This reminded him of three years ago, when he and the former sect leader came to the capital together. Back then, they were so downtrodden, they didn't even leave the city guard station before returning home.
It's completely different from now!
"Ling Shuai this"
After Xie Yunhan stood up from the ground, he looked at Ling Hao and spoke.
No matter what Wang Hongliang says, he's still a member of the Health Department. Now that he's been killed, how can his superiors explain this to those above them
"Aren't you curious about why he died" Ling Hao replied in a low voice.
"Go check it yourself. Three months ago, there was a super-billion-dollar environmental protection project in the capital city that was bid on. A company under the control of the powerful family participated in the bidding. Both competing companies had personnel casualties. See what role he played in this!"
Even before they reached that path, when Ling Hao saw Wang Hongliang’s intent to draw a knife on them, he instructed Ye Ji to inquire about the man's background.
After the result came out, Ling Hao basically sentenced him to death!
Just now, the reason why Lang was only disabled with one arm was naturally because Ling Hao gave him a last chance. It was just wasted by himself!
Ling Hao's visit to the capital this time was originally to make an example out of someone. Since the other party wanted to die so much, he naturally had to fulfill his wish!
What does "ling shuai" mean
Xie Yunhan was slightly taken aback, a vague guess forming in his mind.
"Go check it yourself!" Ling Hao spoke lightly, pausing for a moment before changing the subject: "Xie Shu came to find me today specially. What's the matter"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xie Yunhan trembled all over: "My subordinate heard that Marshal Ling was coming to the capital to investigate a case, so I came to report and see what Marshal Ling had to order!"
"Thank you for your concern!" Ling Hao said faintly. "The Shadow Gate case doesn't need outside help, please go back, Xie Shu!"
Xie Yunhan, the one called "Ling Shuai", hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"The Shadow Gate and the Metropolitan Guard each have their own responsibilities. The case that the Shadow Gate is investigating is outside the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Guard, and they can't offer any help!" Ling Hao interrupted him.
After finishing, he waved his hand and said, "Go back!"
"Ling Shuai, I apologize for any offenses I may have caused today. Please forgive me!" Xie Yunhan took a deep breath and continued.
"The foundation of a powerful family should not be underestimated, and Ling Shuai must not be careless. Please take good care of yourself!"
To him, today's task is considered complete.
From the beginning, he never thought he could really take Ling Shuai to the Department of Defense. If Ling Shuai were so easily influenced by others, then he wouldn't be called Ling Shuai!
This is something that not only he, but also the people behind the scenes, are very clear about.
Xie Yunan's only intention in appearing was to intimidate Ling Hao. Everyone knows that Xie Yunan alone couldn't possibly stop Ling Shuai.
As for Wang Hongliang's death, it was purely an accident!
Heaven and earth can forgive sins committed against nature, but man's sins are unforgivable. Everything is his own doing; he has no one to blame.
"Thank you for reminding me!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.
"Ling Shuai, farewell!" Xie Yunhan bowed and turned to leave.
He Yunbo glanced at Ling Hao, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave up. A flash of unwillingness crossed his face before he turned and left.
"Zhang Liang, how are you" After Xie Yunhan and his group left, Yèjī turned to Zhang Liang and asked.
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for your concern. I'm fine." Zhang Liang shook his head in response.
"Hmm!" Yejī nodded slightly. "You first take the other brothers down to heal their wounds."
"Received!" Zhang Liang nodded and, leading a few members of the Yingmen gang, turned to leave.
"My lord, the Imperial Guard won't just give up. They..." Yuan Hua approached Ling Hao and began to speak.
"Black sir, rest assured, even if you lend them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly!" The judge spoke up from the side.
"Wang Hongliang deserved to die anyway, if they really want to make a big deal out of this, the ones who will be in trouble are them!"
But…" A trace of worry flashed across Yuan Hua's face.
"Black General, don't worry, a single Imperial Guard isn't something to be concerned about!" Lu Yue interrupted him.
"And as for Xie Yunhan, I know him quite well. He's a capable person and knows how to handle things properly!"
“Well… well, alright then.” Yuanhua didn't press the issue further.
"Big brother, when are we leaving" Chuihun looked at Ling Hao and asked.
"The person Big Bro was waiting for has arrived!" Before Ling Hao could respond, Lu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared ahead.
"Hmm!" At his words, both the five daggers and Yuan Hua's pupils constricted slightly.
The next moment, they sensed a mighty aura surging toward the courtyard.
"A Warlord expert!" Everyone's faces flashed a trace of seriousness. faintly."Ling Shuai, farewell!" Xie Yunhan bowed and turned to leave.He Yunbo glanced at Ling Hao, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave up. A flash of unwillingness crossed hi...
