Chapter 209: Deterrence

Looking at Zhao Xianda's pretending to be calm but unable to hide his panic, Pan Long couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He originally intended that this contemporary Chen Guogong, as an important minister of the court and a confidant of the Son of Heaven, must be very talented and learned, and wisdom and courage are naturally not a problem.

But now it seems...... This man does not seem to be very good in terms of wisdom or courage.

It is very unwise for him to send forces for the conservatives and participate in the operation to find trouble with the Wind Patrol Division—as a confidant of the Son of Heaven, he should resolutely remain neutral and ignore anything but the orders of the Son of Heaven.

If this is just a matter of profit, then it would be a bit stupid to stay in this Gyeonggi land instead of hiding in the Shendu after doing this.

In fact, Pan Long was actually mentally prepared to throw himself around.

According to his conjecture, Zhao Xianda should have been hiding in the Shendu, and maybe even in the palace.

It's just that others, he plotted against Shang Man, and really offended himself. And Pan Long asked himself, his reputation in the imperial court is afraid that it is very bad.

The experience of Yizhou Yiwenxia has proved that he is jealous and hateful, and his recent behavior in Youzhou has proved that he is a ruthless character who can't rub sand in the eyes of a single person.

Don't hide in a safe place after provoking him?

Are you stupid!

As a result, Zhao Xianda really didn't hide in the Divine Capital, which made the few backhands that Pan Long had considered before all useless.

It's a good thing to save effort, but the opponent's level is too low, and it inevitably makes people feel a little lacking in success.

If Zhao Xianda is not smart enough, it just makes Pan Long feel a little lacking in accomplishment, then the timidity he shows at the moment really makes Pan Long feel bored.

Regardless of his past or present life, the cultural circle in which Pan Long lives respects brave and strong heroes and looks down on cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhao Xianda, as the head of the royal secret guard, specializes in cultivating dead soldiers who don't want to die, but he is even afraid of death, which really makes Pan Long look down on him.

If the opponent is such a good, then even the victory seems to be devalued.

But when he thought about it, Zhao Xianda was not smart enough and lacked courage, and at first glance it seemed to be very bad, but wouldn't it be very much in line with the needs of the Great Xia Emperor?

Anyway, this Dark Guard Sect Leader doesn't need to be born and die for him, as long as he trains the dead for him. Be stupid, timid, and of course more obedient and controlling.

...... Perhaps deliberately cultivating himself into this embarrassing appearance is exactly the way of self-preservation of Chen Guogong in the past dynasties.

If they were both smart and brave, strong and fearless, would the Great Xia Emperor still be relieved to let such a person hold confidential power?

This is like Wang Jian begging Tian to ask for help and avoid disaster, Yue Fei was killed for being honest and upright, facing a feudal king who is more dangerous and vicious than a tiger, and being the head of the secret guard, he must find a way to make himself appear harmless to humans and animals.

But if you encounter the kind of emperor who "you don't want money because you want to invite fame, and if you want money, you are corrupt, in short, as long as you have high prestige and ability, Lao Tzu will kill you to prevent future troubles", then ...... Who told you not to kill him with a knife?

Pan Long sighed secretly in his heart, and his figure flashed in front of Zhao Xianda.

"Who told you to frame Shang Man?" he asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't frame it!" Zhao Xianda flatly denied, "He really killed people back then!"

"Isn't Yang An, the daughter of the hotel owner, controlled by you to commit suicide!"

Zhao Xianda's face changed greatly, obviously he didn't expect Pan Long to even find out this.

I asked one last time. Pan Long's voice was fierce, "Who told you to do this?"

Zhao Xianda's body trembled slightly, his face was like earth, his lips kept trembling, and his teeth chattered, but he didn't answer.

Pan Long smiled: "Very good! Although you are a little timid, you really have some courage." Then I'll give you a face, I won't ask who instructed you, as long as you go to Xiangping Mansion to testify to Shang Man and prove that Yang An's death has nothing to do with him. ”

Zhao Xianda's eyes widened: "How can I-"

Before he could finish his sentence, it turned to screaming.

Pan Long grabbed his right hand directly and crushed the phalanx of his little thumb.

"Don't think I'm negotiating terms with you!" Pan Long's eyes were full of fierceness, "I'm in a very bad mood these days, so you'd better not refuse my kindness!"

Zhao Xianda couldn't wait to scold - what kind of kindness is this! Is your family's kindness to crush someone else's little thumb!

But he didn't dare.

The heavy killing intent on Pan Long's body, and the cold and fierce light flashing in his eyes, clearly told him that this heroic man from the North was not a bargain, let alone refused.

If I refuse to go on again, I am afraid that "I died miserably" is not enough to describe, and most of them will be "miserable and want to die".

Although Zhao Xianda has been a secret guard instructor for many years, their Chen Guogong team has always been only responsible for ideological education, and has never been involved in other content.

Of course, he has also done things with people, and he has seen blood, and he is not a nerd who has only worked hard in the martial arts field all his life. But he really hadn't seen anything particularly ferocious.

Pan Long hacked hundreds of dark guards to death with one sword, which was already the most murderous scene he had ever seen in his life.

At this moment, the blood of the hundreds of people was overflowing, and the solid rammed earth had not had time to seep into it, and the red slippery one had already flowed to his feet.

That's enough to scare him.

In addition, Pan Long tortured him as soon as he disagreed, which exhausted his last courage.

He was afraid, and he obeyed.

Even if he inevitably dies, he wants to die happily, and be killed in seconds like those secret guards, but it can be regarded as a quick death without pain, at least stronger than now!

- This is what he thinks badly, if he really has the courage to insist on refusing, Pan Long may really be merciful and give him a good time.

After all...... Pan Long really doesn't like to torture others.

Zhao Xianda sighed and said dejectedly: "Shang Man's case, even if I testify, it can't change the fact that he killed people back then, and it is still a capital crime after all." ”

Pan Long shook his head: "You are willing to testify, Yang An's death will not fall on him, and he will not need to die." With his qualifications, it is not difficult at all to get a few credits for the crime, and to reduce the elective question to exile or hard labor. ”

"As long as that's okay?" Zhao Xianda asked with some confusion.

"Do you have a better way?" Pan Long asked rhetorically.

"I mean...... There are so many patrol envoys who have eaten lawsuits this time, you just need to settle this matter?"

"Is there anything else you can solve?" Pan Long asked with a squint, sneering.

Zhao Xianda shook his head: "There are only a few cases in which I have intervened, not to mention that most of the cases are actually not sentenced to death." Even if I testify one by one, those patrol envoys will still be inevitably imprisoned for several years. ”

Pan Long knew he was telling the truth.

This is a conspiracy, above board.

If the black history of the patrol envoys is dug up, a lawsuit will inevitably be inevitable, and this lawsuit will ...... It's almost impossible to win.

Vendetta in the rivers and lakes, most of the evidence is conclusive, where is there room for denial!

"In that case, then what are you talking about this?" Pan Long said angrily, "Could it be that you want to use the Great Freedom Heavenly King Mantra to control those plaintiffs and make them withdraw the lawsuit? There is no way to withdraw the lawsuit in a human homicide case, and it is useless to control it." ”

The laws of Great Xia have some similarities with those of the previous life, for example, all serious crimes are directly convicted by the government, and it doesn't really matter whether there is a plaintiff or not.

Now that the cases of the patrol envoys have been exposed, there is no room for correction when the evidence is conclusive.

Unless it is a black-box operation, and the officials really protect each other, it is possible to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.

Zhao Xianda was stunned for a moment by the rhetorical question, and then explained: "Actually, as long as you are willing to talk to the other side, everyone takes a step back, and the matter will be——"

His words stopped abruptly, but it was Pan Long who slapped him unconscious.

With a wave of Pan Long's hand, whether it was the unconscious Zhao Xianda or the corpses of the secret guards all over the ground, he included them in the mountains and seas, and even the blood on the ground and the blood-stained soil were all collected by him.

In the huge training ground, except for the mess on the ground and the smell of blood in the air, there was no trace of fierce fighting.

His figure faded away, disappearing without a trace before the hole in the basement was discovered by the people in the theater.

A moment later, above the clouds, Pan Long rode the strong wind and flew in the direction of Youzhou.

"Let's talk?" Thinking of Zhao Xianda's words just now, he couldn't help but laugh, "Everyone has such a big contradiction, what is there to talk about?"
