If there were no Five Spirits Gu in my body, even the Infinite Scripture wouldn’t be able to detect the Five Spirits Gu in theirs.

It went in circles.

No Five Spirits Gu.

Fang Che furrowed his brows and withdrew his spiritual energy.

Somewhat dissatisfied, he said: "You go out, call the next one in!"

Wei Zi Qi mocked: "What, am I not suspicious anymore?"

"You’re not suspicious anymore. But you can go out and let them relax a little, so I won’t drag it out of them." Fang Che said coldly.

"Who do you look down on!"

Wei Zi Qi spat a mouthful of saliva, turned, and left: "Inspector Fang, I’m waiting for you to apologize to the Chief!"

"That only works if all of your brothers are clean!"

Fang Che replied coldly: "You don’t get to decide!"

Wei Zi Qi stormed out: "I’ll be waiting! I firmly believe my brothers are clean!"

Pushed the door open and left.

Said: "Next one!"

Then he went himself to Zhao Shanhe: "Chief, my cultivation was sealed. Could you please unlock it for me?"

After it was unlocked, he sat alone in a corner, sullenly and without a word.

You said I’d report news, but I won’t say a word, let’s see how you wiggle out of this!

The second came out shortly after.

Then the third, the fourth... the thirtieth!

Soon, Fang Che had reviewed everyone.

No issues.

Fang Che had already figured in his mind: in a place like this, there wouldn’t be any issues.

After finishing the thirtieth, he stayed back and carefully reviewed the records, furrowing his brows, muttering: "This Feng Yun is truly not easy to deal with."

To outsiders, it seemed Fang Che was dragging time after finding no issues with thirty people.

But no one urged him.

They just waited outside.

Finally.

Fang Che pushed the door open, his face somewhat grim.

Wei Zi Qi leaped up, rushed over, and provocatively asked: "Inspector Fang, do my brothers have any issues?"

Fang Che snorted, coldly said: "No issues, they’re not spies. But weren’t you negligent?"

Zhao Shanhe said: "Captain Fang, that’s not right, the demon sect’s deception is tricky, what does it have to do with my brothers’ negligence? Just watched as the people died, should we be blamed too."

Fang Che said: "A death is a mistake."

"Don’t come with that. We said my brothers are clean! That’s the point! Just answer if they’re spies or not!"

Fang Che was silent for a long time, then said: "No issues, they’re not spies!"

An instant cheer erupted!

Wei Zi Qi said: "Then Inspector Fang should apologize to our Chief."

Fang Che snorted, cold-faced, reluctantly walked up to Zhao Shanhe, and said blandly: "President Zhao, apologies."

Zhao Shanhe smugly stroked his beard: "It’s fine, it’s fine."

"No issue this time, but it might not be the case next time! A Southeast Headquarters spy is confirmed! I’ll find it out!"

"You’d better keep a close watch on those about to be executed! If another dies... hmph! You should know yourselves!"

Fang Che coldly said: "Farewell!"

Flung his large cloak and to Dongyun Yu and the others: "Let’s go!"

Stepped out with large strides.

Though majestic, in Wei Zi Qi and the others’ eyes, he seemed, of course, a bit embarrassingly defeated.

The entire hall immediately breathed a sigh of relief, laughing triumphantly: "Hmph, so what if you’re Inspector Fang! So what if you have a Life and Death Order? You still apologized obediently!"

Zhao Shanhe gave a glare and said: "What are you all so proud of? A death during your work, isn’t it a mistake? Truly lost my face! Reflect on it when you go back!"

Then also turned to leave.

But as he left, unable to control it, he revealed a hint of a smile.

The thirty people behind immediately became joyous.

It felt like winning a big battle, letting out a huge sigh of relief. And President Zhao truly stood by his brothers!

What a good big brother! What a good leader!

With such leadership, what is there to worry about!?

Fang Che and Feng Xiangdong, among others, walked out of there.

Dongyun Yu couldn’t hold back and said: "What’s going on today?"

Feng Xiangdong, having vaguely guessed something, hesitated and said: "A play?"

Fang Che appreciatively patted Feng Xiangdong’s shoulder and said: "Smart, we’ll talk about it back home. Keep looking grim."

Thus, the four walked out with grim faces all the way.

When everyone sat back in the Inspection Hall, there was no need to say anything; they all understood.

Creating disturbances frequently in Donghu State would inevitably make everyone feel on edge, and the entire district would have a sense of an impending storm and chaos.

That feeling of "why is the world so chaotic, why are there so many bad people, so many people have been persecuted" was unavoidable.

As a result, the prestige and control of the Guardian would be damaged.

However, after Fang Che’s actions, the hatred was redirected, and the Southeast Guardian became even more united against a common enemy.

The public also realized the feeling of "if we were taken over by the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, the good days would be over."

They became more supportive of the Guardian.

Internally, it elevated Zhao Shanhe’s authority as Chief, strengthened unity, and externally, spread fear of the enemy.

This facilitated governance and management.

Truly, a painstaking effort.

But Fang Che alone had to bear the heavy accusation of ’avenging personal grievances using public means.’

"It’s something that can’t be helped."

Fang Che smiled: "Zhao Shanhe did this to me before; now, although I’m helping him, it feels quite satisfying to mess with him like this."

The three immediately laughed with their eyes nearly closed: "Hahaha... Boss, you really are something... "

"But isn’t this considered helping?" Fang Che spread his hands: "And I took the blame, didn’t I? Shouldn’t he be grateful to me?"

"Hahaha, damn..."

Next morning. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The four of them oversaw another batch of executions.

This batch was larger.

It was a few hundred more than the original plan. Over two thousand in total.

Blood flowed like a river.

It was so overwhelming that none of the spectators dared to cheer; the blood energy was suffocating.

Apart from the Heihu Gang members, everyone else had some reputation in Donghu State or certain parts of Donghu State.

The focus was on all the officials.

Now, they were collectively executed here.

Martial artists, officials, wealthy merchants...

And the Guardian Southeast Headquarters was still tirelessly capturing those incriminated in the confessions.

Martial artists who fled were still being captured one by one.

Countless people shouted grievances: "I only visited a brothel!"

But the Guardian didn’t care about that.

Was that a brothel out in the open? Just a casual visit? Specially going to such secretive places to engage in activities, haven’t you thought if these girls want to be there?

What about those good family girls? Did you lose your conscience? And then did your conscience get eaten by a dog?

But for this group, there was no need for such strictness as with officials and Guardians, directly sentenced to death penalty.

But corresponding punishments were necessary, with so many bodies there, these people were already scared out of their wits, so they paid the fines promptly.

Zhao Shanhe was driven crazy by poverty and directly set an exorbitant fine.

The fines were so high they cried for mercy and still had to endure labor camps.

But not a single person dared to complain.

Everyone paid the money obediently.

Fang Che was extremely dissatisfied with this, so he went to cause trouble for Zhao Shanhe again, and quarreled loudly outside the prison.

Fang Che firmly believed that all these people should be executed without exception.

Zhao Shanhe believed the crimes were not worth death, ignorance should not be punished.

While the two argued outside, the people inside shivered with fear.

"General Zhao, isn’t this punishment too light? Have you seen those tens of thousands of parents outside who lost their daughters? Do you know how miserable their lives have been over the years?"

"They didn’t know, and are accustomed to Jianghu life, just find a place to have fun and leave..."

"What do you mean they didn’t know? They didn’t know? Nonsense! Just fining them? Impossible, I absolutely disagree!"

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Execute them to warn the world!"

Fang Che was filled with killing aura.

He wasn’t just putting on an act with Zhao Shanhe; even without the act, he truly felt these people deserved to die.

Only after witnessing with his own eyes the misery of so many innocent victims and parents missing their daughters did he truly feel how despicable these so-called ’unaware, just having fun’ people were!

With so many legitimate brothels out there at set prices, couldn’t you have your fun there?

Why choose such obviously illegitimate places, where it’s clear they are places with trafficked good family girls to have fun?

Zhao Shanhe said: "Isn’t this too much?"

Fang Che angrily said: "Don’t you understand their mindset? Isn’t it just because they want to have fun with good family girls? We’re all men, General, why pretend to be ignorant?"

Isn’t it just that playing with prostitutes doesn’t satisfy them anymore, and they want to play with good family girls? But damn, where can you find true good family girls to play with? Isn’t it at the places of those who have lost all conscience and monstrously trafficked girls?"

"Who wouldn’t know that?"

"Do they think we’re idiots?"
