Chapter 134 Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Driving a Tiger to Devour a Wolf
Another day passed.
Those forty-six people who didn't want to leave came again.
Lin Feng first assigned tasks to the others.
Then he summoned all forty-six people together.
Lin Feng handed them a list.
"The people on the list are all problematic individuals from the city guards and government offices."
These people either neglect their duties, abuse their power to amass wealth, or collude with criminal gangs to prey on the people.
I'll give you five days.
Within these five days, you must verify the crimes of these people, find all the evidence, and bring them to justice.
If you mess this up, I'll charge you with dereliction of duty and bring you to justice.
These people took the list and looked at it, and they were all dumbfounded.
They knew all the people on the list.
They were all people who had come to discuss Lin Feng a while ago.
At that time, these people thought Lin Feng had fallen on hard times, and they all came over to laugh at him.
Lin Feng didn't react at the time, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng would remember everything.
Now it's time to settle scores.
Most of them thought their chance had come; they believed that as long as they did their job well, General Lin would forgive them and they could stay in the Ma Yi Wei.
A small number of clear-headed people know that this is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
This is a situation where we allow ourselves to fight like the snipe and the clam, while the general ultimately reaps the benefits.
If they show leniency to those on the list out of consideration for past relationships, the general will surely accuse them of dereliction of duty.
They might end up being sent to the mountains to mine.
If we were ruthless enough to wipe out all the city guards and government officials, the general might spare us this time.
More likely, they will be charged with abusing their power, and the specific sentence will depend on the general's mood.
This is a conspiracy; whatever you do is wrong.
One of the men stepped forward and said, “General, I am not feeling well and would like to request five days of leave.”
Lin Feng sneered inwardly, "You want to ask for leave as soon as a mission comes? Do you think the Imperial Guard is your private property, where everything has to wait until this mission is completed?"
Somewhat unwilling, the man said again, "General, I am unwell and I am afraid I will be unable to complete this mission. I am willing to resign."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "My words are military orders."
Military orders are absolute; you have no choice but to obey.
Anyone who backs down now is deserting in the face of battle.
Clang, click.
Lin Feng drew the Xuan Tie Tungsten Steel Sword from behind him and cleaved the table in front of him in two with a single strike.
"Anyone who deserts in the face of battle shall be executed without mercy!"
The forty-six people in front of him felt a tremor in their hearts.
Many people regretted not leaving yesterday.
It seems that yesterday was the general's last chance for everyone.
Those who didn't resign yesterday will find it difficult to escape unscathed.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "Everyone, set off immediately!"
"Yes," the forty-six people replied in unison.
They dared not disobey; desertion in the face of battle would cost them their heads.
Even if they don't want to do it, they have to bite the bullet and do it.
"A higher-ranking official can crush you," and Lin Feng was their superior.
These people left the Ma Yi Guard and went out to arrest people.
Lin Feng sheathed his sword.
Sun Yu, Zhang Xiaoyu, Song Dahu, Zhou Haitao, and Lin Hu walked over.
Sun Yu said, "Boss, your move of using one tiger to devour another is really good."
These people knew perfectly well what was going on, yet they had no choice but to jump into the pit.
Zhang Xiaoyu scoffed, "You're giving them too much credit. These people aren't tigers or wolves; I think they're just a bunch of pigs."
Haha, the others all burst into laughter.
Lin Feng looked at the group and said, "Be careful, don't be like Zhao Youcai, who's always so smug."
Haitao and Huzi, you two should start looking for people.
Five days from now, I will appoint the two of you as captains.
During this period, Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu gained a lot of experience.
They both participated in the siege of the bandits' main city and also accumulated considerable military merits.
Being a deputy commander would be no problem at all.
I have to thank Zheng Tiejun for this.
If Zheng Tiejun hadn't specifically chosen the two of them...
Neither of them could go to the bandit's main city to earn merit.
Zhou Haitao grinned widely and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Lin Hu scratched his head. "Thanks, brother."
Lin Feng then instructed the two, "Don't practice nepotism. Your subordinates must be capable; we'll be busy in the future."
The two responded with a "yes" to indicate that they understood.
Lin Feng then looked at Sun Yu and Zhang Xiaoyu.
"The position of deputy commander of the Ma Yi Guard has become vacant. You two have made enough contributions to be qualified for this position."
The rank of deputy commander of the Ma Yi Guard is quite prestigious, as he is only one step away from becoming the commander of the Ma Yi Guard.
Sun Yu immediately said, "Then let Brother Zhang be the deputy general. I can't stand being restricted like that."
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng understood what Zhang Xiaoyu wanted to say.
Zhang Xiaoyu has practiced the Bloodthirsty Demon Art and there's no turning back; she must cultivate a higher level of the Bloodthirsty Demon Art.
He'll most likely be going to work for the Demonic Sect in the future, so he's even less suitable to be the deputy general.
Zhang Xiaoyu patted Sun Yu on the shoulder and said, "Little Feather, you're young and skilled in martial arts, so you should take this position."
Sun Yu's personality was unpredictable, so everyone nicknamed him "Little Feather".
"Brother Zhang, come on, being a squad leader is tiring enough for me."
Lin Feng is also considering who should take this position.
He glanced at Song Dahu. Song Dahu's martial arts skills were decent, but his achievements were insufficient.
Zhang Xiaoyu is definitely not going to make it.
If I appoint Zhang Xiaoyu as my deputy, and then that guy goes to the Demonic Sect, it might implicate me.
Sun Yu is also a troubled youth, but he is the most suitable at the moment.
So Lin Feng made the decision, "Little Feather, you will be the deputy general. You can try it out for a while."
If you really can't do it, I'll find someone to replace you.
Sun Yu shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright then!"
Bang! Lin Hu kicked Sun Yu in the butt. "Little Feather, you're getting too cocky. We offered you an official position, but you keep making excuses."
Sun Yu wanted to retaliate with that kick, but Lin Hu ran away after kicking him, and the two started arguing in the Ma Yi Wei area.
"Little Tiger, you dare to kick the deputy general of the Ma Yi Guard? Don't you want to live?"
Come over here quickly so I can kick you a couple of times.
Zhou Haitao pretended to be serious, and snorted with a straight face, "What are you two arguing about? Do you really think the Hemp-Clad Guards are your own home?"
Bang! Bang! Sun Yu and Lin Hu ran up behind Zhou Haitao and each kicked him.
Sun Yu laughed and said, "My boss is a general of the Hemp-Clad Guard. I really consider this my own home. What can you do about it?"
The group laughed for a while.
Lin Feng cautioned, "Let's talk about these kinds of jokes in private. Don't say them in front of outsiders."
They all nodded to indicate that they understood the importance of the matter.
Song Dahu walked over and asked, "Brother, what are we going to do for the next five days?"
Lin Feng gave a playful smile. "Let's watch the show."
Lin Feng plans to turn all the Jiazi Enhancement Pills in his hands into breakthrough points.
He now has seven Jiazi Enhancement Pills and sixty ordinary Enhancement Pills.
Ordinary power-enhancing pills have no effect on myself, but I can give them to my wife.
I'll keep the Jiazi Enhancement Pill for myself.
Seven Jiazi Enhancement Pills can be converted into 420 breakthrough points. If I use all of these breakthrough points, my cultivation level should improve, right?
