Amidst the biting wind, Fang Che issued the command: "Executioners, to your positions!"

Twenty-two executioners stepped forward simultaneously, carrying their swords, each taking their place.

Fang Che then turned and bowed towards the high platform: "Chief, please give your instructions."

Zhao Shanhe, with a solemn expression, raised the Token in his hand.

The Token caught the sunlight, reflecting tens of thousands of golden rays.

"Execute!"

At the command, the executioners simultaneously sprayed the fiery liquor on their sword blades, raising all twenty-two swords.

The sunlight made them gleam.

Fang Che shouted loudly: "Heaven sees all, the wronged souls are not far! Today marks justice, and you must return the validation! Watch! Wait! On Huangquan Road, settle your scores and your grudges!"

"Kill!!"

With that order, the twenty-two swords fell simultaneously.

Thud!

The sword light descended, and the blood sprayed!

One cut, heads rolled!

At the moment the twenty-two heads hit the ground, blood surged skyward.

The wind’s mournful howl intensified suddenly, whistling endlessly as it blew into the vast distance.

As the wind passed, the blue sky cleared, with not a breath of air remaining.

Around the plaza, flags that had been fiercely fluttering were suddenly drooping like dead fish, motionless!

Heads rolled and turned on the ground. Blood continuously flowed from their neck cavities, meandering on the ground.

The scent of blood was overwhelming.

Many watched, realizing these people’s blood was indeed red.

Countless citizens, with tears streaming down their faces, fell to their knees.

Mumbling softly.

"Child, rest in peace."

"Wife, we’ve avenged you... don’t hold onto it anymore."

"The child’s mother... did you see? The enemy is dead, we’ve avenged you... I don’t know if you’re reunited with the child below... I’ll wait a bit longer, see if I can find something, if not, I’ll join you... this world is too bitter, I don’t wish to stay..."

"Her father... did you see it?"

Countless incense candles suddenly ignited, smoke rising and enveloping the sky over the entire plaza.

Choking sobs filled the air.

"I need to announce something here. The case is still under investigation. Currently, the first batch of fifteen hundred girls is ready to be claimed."

Fang Che called out loudly: "Everyone can wait outside the Guardian Hall gate."

"Furthermore, executions will occur on this site every day from now on, until all the villains are eradicated!"

"No pleas will be accepted, no leniency shown; and any revenge will be welcomed!"

Fang Che’s voice resonated like Golden Stone: "Since we’ve taken on this case, my brothers and I will persistently pursue it!"

"I am Fang Che, this is Dongyun Yu, this is Feng Xiangdong, this is Qiu Yunshang!"

"Four other brothers have gone to handle other cases. We are the Sixth Patrol Team!"

"Pursuing all injustice, trampling all unfairness; slaying all demons, accepting all retaliation!"

...

They finally returned to the meeting room of the Inspection Hall.

Dongyun Yu and Feng Xiangdong were still fired up, their faces flushed red.

"I feel my life is full of meaning!"

"I feel like the blood in my heart is boiling..."

Feng Xiangdong said excitedly, with his whole body trembling: "You don’t know, when I followed the boss out, I felt every hair on my body shivering! I forced myself to hold back, so I didn’t convulse on the spot..."

"Me too, me too..."

The three shook with excitement.

Qiu Yunshang held a teacup to drink, his teeth clattering against the cup: "Clang, clang, clang..."

Fang Che frowned, sitting on his chair, looking at the three: "Why are you excited?"

"Shouldn’t we be excited?" Dongyun Yu asked.

Fang Che sighed: "But this excitement comes at the cost of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of families’ lifelong pain... Thinking of this, how can I remain excited?"

With that, he sighed deeply, saying: "Do you really believe all the missing women were taken by the Heihu Gang? In this worldly realm, who knows how much crime like this exists!"

"In the future, we will face innumerable heartless individuals."

"And those so-called ’I didn’t do anything wrong, I just went in to play’ officials... thinking of this, my heart feels blocked. How can I be excited?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the three.

Instantly, they stopped trembling.

Recalling the plaza, the eyes filled with longing, hope, despair, pain, and numbness, the three suddenly felt a mountain pressing on them.

Heavy, almost suffocating.

Feng Xiangdong gritted his teeth: "Boss, what do you think those so-called ’I only went in to play’ officials, affluent individuals, martial artists, even Guardians... what on earth are they thinking? Can a human really do such things?"

"It’s actually quite common."

Fang Che sighed, saying: "Let me be frank, this... is the first time we’ve discovered it, and it happened in front of so many eyes... so we had to handle it!"

All three were stunned: "Boss, what do you mean? Do we have to tolerate and indulge them when meeting such people in the future?"

"That’s not what I mean." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Fang Che sighed deeply: "Things aren’t as simple as we think, this time it erupted suddenly, and couldn’t be contained... so these people must die! And they must be executed in front of the public, to warn the world!"

"But in the future, to put it bluntly... such people will still exist. As those three elders said, many of them have served outstanding deeds, risking life and limb a thousand times."
