Chapter 504: A Confrontation from Afar, Coincidentally Encountering the Eldest Nephew of the Silver Alliance, with Additional Chapters 567890 Completed (Part 1)
Fang Che rushed in, pointing his sword at the groups of imprisoned individuals, and said furiously, "Zhao Zongzhang, you keep saying their crimes don't warrant death. Then ask them, is this their mentality?"
One of the men loudly defended himself, "I really don't know! I thought it was just an ordinary brothel..."
"Ordinary your mother!"
Fang Che immediately drew his sword and beheaded the man through the bars with his sword energy.
Blood suddenly splattered all over the prison cell.
In an instant, the place fell silent.
Several prisoners in the cells started shivering in fear.
This motherfcker... he killed without hesitation.
Zhao Shanhe was enraged, "Fang Che! You..."
Fang Che took out a command token and snapped it open, "This is the execution decree issued by the Ninth Young Master! I, Fang Che, believe that those who deserve to die should die. Killing them is without sin!"
"You... you... you..." He was so angry he couldn't speak.
"What do you want?"
"I don't want anything! I just feel that fining them is too light!"
"Then what should be done?"
"They should be executed! A public execution to set an example!"
"The punishment is too severe!" Zhao Shanhe disagreed.
Fang Che's sword tip dripped with blood, and his cold gaze, filled with killing intent, swept over the group of people in the cells. The killing intent surged like waves, rolling forward one after another.
"For a group of people who deserve to die, what's too heavy or light?"
All the prisoners in the cells trembled, their faces turning pale.
Many of them had almost wet themselves.
These guys were all tough characters in the Jianghu.
But who had ever seen such a ruthless person like Fang Xuncha? That guy had only said a few words, and he had already beheaded him in the Guardian Office!
Now, they didn't even dare to speak, only feeling a sense of urgency from front to back.
They could only look at Zhao Shanhe with pleading eyes, hoping that Zhao Zongzhang would save their lives!
A ruthless person is not scary.
What's scary is that such a person holds the power of life and death!— Killing without responsibility!
Fang Che took a deep breath and said, "Zhao Zongzhang, it's not that I don't give you face, but if you only want a few million taels of silver in fines and then release these scumbags without punishment, I will never agree to that!"
"For committing such heinous acts, they must pay with their lives! That's my principle!"
"But they truly don't deserve death! If not, let the Law Enforcement Department handle it." Zhao Shanhe's expression was extremely serious.
"This is my case, and the Law Enforcement Department has no right to handle it!"
Fang Che once again presented the execution decree, "This token of ours, even the Minister of Law Enforcement has no say! What right does the Law Enforcement Department have to take over our case?!"
Zhao Shanhe was furious, "Then what do you want?"
"I don't know what I want, but I just don't want to let them off so easily!"
Fang Che spoke firmly, "Money, fines, must be paid! But to let them off so easily is impossible! As for what to do, since you want to protect them, Zhao Zongzhang, then you figure it out."
"I don't agree with you leaving so casually. If you insist on doing this, I'll kill them all!"
Fang Che's sword glinted with blood.
His fierce gaze swept across the faces of the prisoners in the surrounding cells.
He slowly sheathed his sword.
The grating sound of the sword sliding into the scabbard echoed.
The sword was sheathed.
Fang Che said coldly, "I'm waiting for your response. In this world, no one can do evil without paying a price!"
Without waiting for Zhao Shanhe's reply, he turned and strode away, his face cold.
"Fang Che!"
Zhao Shanhe was furious, his anger reaching its peak, "Are you threatening me?"
Fang Che had already reached the door and didn't turn back, his voice as cold as ice, "Are you trying to protect them?!"
He took a step out and disappeared at the door.
Zhao Shanhe sighed, stomped heavily on the ground, and the floor tiles shattered into pieces!
"Damn it! Where's my face now?! Just a patrol officer, and he dares to treat me with an execution decree!"
He cursed and turned to leave.
"Zhao Zongzhang..."
Someone behind him called out anxiously, pleading, "Zongzhang, everything can be discussed, but you can't abandon us like this..."
Zhao Shanhe turned back and saw several cells filled with people, their heads pressed together, looking at him with eyes full of fear and pleading.
"How can I help you when my face has been trampled on the ground?! How can I still save your faces?!"
Zhao Shanhe said angrily, "I, the grand Zongzhang, am I going to be scolded by my subordinates for a bunch of criminals? Am I being unreasonable?!"
"And you want me to help you? I haven't been scolded enough!"
Zhao Shanhe was extremely frustrated, "You've committed a crime, and you must accept punishment and pay the price. What Officer Fang said is right. I'm just arguing with him about the death penalty and the method of punishment, but I never said you wouldn't have to pay the price! Do you really think I'm on your side? You guys are crazy!"
The prisoners begged, "Zongzhang, but you also said we don't deserve the death penalty."
"I don't have an execution decree!"
Zhao Shanhe said angrily, "If Fang Che comes tonight and slaughters you all, I won't have any means to stop him!"
"Zongzhang, please think of a way."
"There's no way. You must pay the price and accept the punishment. According to the current situation, paying a fine to settle the matter is no longer feasible."
"Zongzhang, we can redeem ourselves through service."
Someone shouted, "We can go and work for the Guardian."
Zhao Shanhe rolled his eyes, "What work do we have that we can let you do? How dare you, a criminal, want to gain an official position? You're dreaming!"
"We don't mean it like that. We're saying we can work for free... like labor..."
"Or... some other work... at least establish some merit..."
Zhao Shanhe's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he said, "This is not up to me. I'll discuss it with Vice Zongzhang."
"Zongzhang... please help us think of a way. I don't want to die... waaah... I just wanted to prosper..."
Someone immediately covered his mouth, "Shut up! Do you want to get everyone killed?!"
Zhao Shanhe hummed and walked out.
The prison doors slammed shut, and darkness enveloped the interior.
But they weren't idle; everyone was actively racking their brains.
"What can we do to help the Guardian?"
This question was on everyone's mind.
And they were very enthusiastic.
After Zhao Shanhe left, he took a detour.
Fang Che was waiting on the side.
"How's it going?"
"Basically settled." Zhao Shanhe was excited, "Soon, we'll have a bunch of free labor."
"Hehe..."
Fang Che smiled, then said coldly, "Actually, I really want to kill."
"I can tell. But... it's true that the sentence is too heavy. After all, they're not Guardians, nor officials, and they're not breaking the law. But not killing them makes me feel uncomfortable..."
"So, what do you plan to make them do?"
"I haven't decided yet. They're also in a hurry right now."
"I think they're not in enough of a hurry!"
"Hmm... what do you mean?"
"We need to add some pressure. Laborers should have the resolve of laborers."
Fang Che smiled coldly.
In the evening, the prisoners were discussing when they suddenly felt a surge of killing intent from outside, causing everyone to shiver in fear!
The guards outside called out, "Greetings, Captain Fang!"
"Yeah, open the door!"
The cold voice was that of Captain Fang! The prisoners inside felt their hair stand on end, unable to stop trembling, their teeth chattering.
What's he doing here so late at night?
With this thought, they felt an even heavier killing intent.
In such a large prison, he didn't go anywhere else after entering; he came straight here. What was his intention?
"Captain Fang, our headquarters has a rule that when taking someone away at night, we need the written orders of several High Commissioners!"
The guard refused.
The people inside breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Che's voice echoed, "This is an Execution Decree! I'm just here to kill, and after I kill, I'll leave!"
Indeed.
This young master was indeed here to kill!
Those inside exchanged glances, their souls scattering.
"Captain Fang, you have the power to kill, not the power to open the door. Please understand."
"You're really not letting me in?"
"You can't come in, and when High Commissioner Zhao left, he said that if Captain Fang came again at night without the written orders, he's not allowed to enter."
"Hehe..."
Fang Che's voice turned cold, "Then I'll come back later! Let's see how long he can protect them! Such scum with no conscience, and you're still protecting them! I suspect they've taken bribes!"
"Please, Captain Fang."
Footsteps echoed, growing fainter.
Fang Che left.
Those inside breathed another sigh of relief.
They felt cold sweat all over, their clothes drenched.
"What should we do? This is still the Guardian, even the heretics aren't this cruel, damn it..."
"Quickly think of a way... I don't want to die."
"He'll be here early tomorrow morning. Even if we come up with a solution, what if High Commissioner Zhao doesn't come early tomorrow? Or what if he comes earlier than Captain Fang?"
"Then there's no way... we can only accept it."
"Think of something. I'd even go mining... I'd be willing to work in the mines for ten years without pay, just feed me..."
"Me too, me too."
"Let's think together and see if we can fight for ourselves..."
...
The next morning.
After discussing a plan inside, they were waiting for Zhao Shanhe when the guard's voice sounded at the door again, "Greetings, Captain Fang, so early."
Fang Che's voice was cold and filled with killing intent, "Open the door!"
Those inside felt their scalps go numb! Their bodies went numb.
He's here, he's here! "Captain Fang, it's not time yet," the guard said.
"When will it be time? Will the sun set?" Fang Che's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
"High Commissioner Zhao instructed that we wait for him to arrive before taking anyone away."
"Nonsense! When will it be time? Open the door!"
"Please forgive me, Captain Fang!"
"Guards, break it open! Damn it, I'll kill a few people today!"
Fang Che shouted angrily.
Immediately, a loud boom echoed as the prison's main gate shook violently, deafening everyone. It was kicked open! The entire prison shook, the ground trembling.
Those inside stumbled, some crying out, "Waa..."
Others felt dizzy, their lower bodies suddenly wet...
This time, they were truly terrified!
Kick after kick.
The guards shouted, "Captain Fang, you can't do this..."
"Get out of the way!"
Boom! Boom!
He was about to break in.
Just as those inside felt their bodies go cold, frozen in fear, a loud, furious roar echoed, "Fang Che! What are you doing! Stop!"
Zhao Shanhe rushed over!
The prisoners inside wept with joy, hugging each other and crying, "Waa... we're saved..."
"Mom... I was so scared just now..."
Outside.
"High Commissioner Zhao, today I'm here to take them to the execution ground, to be beheaded along with the others!"
"Fang Che! They're not sentenced to death!"
"High Commissioner Zhao, I only have one request. I won't kill them all, but I need to set an example, right? If we don't kill, there might be similar incidents in the future. Can't we let this slide?"
"Didn't you already kill one yesterday?"
"How many can you handle?"
"Give me a thousand heads!"
"Impossible!"
Those inside were like wooden statues, their hearts pounding, ears perked up, praying to the heavens and ancestors. At this moment, they prayed to all the gods and ancestors.
"High Commissioner Zhao, you know I'm doing this for the Southeast Guardians, I'm not just a butcher!"
"I understand... but Deputy High Commissioner Zhao and I have already discussed this. We'll let them work in the mines, labor as a form of redemption."
"Hehe... High Commissioner Zhao: Will these guys work honestly?
"Don't fantasize, just kill them with a single slash!"
"Let them go to the Southeast Ghostly Ravine and the Divine Ghost Mine to collect Nether Iron. Isn't that heavy enough?"
"Not heavy enough!"
From the prison, a collective, hoarse cry emerged: "We are willing to go mining! We want to contribute! We want to atone for our sins!..."
Outside.
Fang Che was stunned and exclaimed, "Zhao Zongzhang, are you colluding with them?"
Zhao Shanhe said, "Fang Che, listen to me. Come over here, listen to me..."
After a long while.
The dense killing intent grew heavier, and after a violent surge, it subsided.
Fang Che let out a cold snort.
He left with a swagger. His mission was thoroughly accomplished!
The door opened.
Zhao Shanhe entered with a stern face, looking aggrieved.
Countless prisoners wept with joy, calling out as if they had seen their loved ones: "Zongzhang... Waaah..."
Zhao Shanhe maintained a straight face, raising three fingers, and said, "Three conditions. If you don't agree, you can leave now."
"We agree!" they said in unison.
"The first condition: a fine of one million taels of silver for each person!"
"No problem," they replied.
"The second condition: go to the Divine Ghost Mine to collect Nether Iron, with a time limit of five years."
"We agree! Waaah... Finally, we can live..."
"The third condition: after you've mined for five years, if you commit any more offenses, I won't interfere with what happens to you at Fang Che's hands."
"Understood! Thank you so much, Zongzhang! Waaah..."
Instantly, the sound of crying shook the heavens.
This was a cry of joy.
This was a cry of rebirth.
Zhao Shanhe also heaved a sigh of relief.
The production at the Divine Ghost Mine was extremely challenging. Moreover, the Nether Wind blew day and night, and ordinary miners, being low-level martial artists, would die within half a month.
Deploying mid-level martial artists from the Guardian Headquarters to mine was not only a waste but also impractical given the limited manpower.
Now, with these people's sufficient cultivation, they could complete numerous tasks for the Southeast.
"However, let me be blunt. If anyone escapes over there..."
Zhao Shanhe calmly stated, "Then it will be a continent-wide wanted order! You should be aware of this, right?"
"For Zhao Zongzhang's kindness today, we won't dare to escape! Escaping would be cowardly and shameless!"
"I didn't save you, so it's not a matter of life-saving gratitude."
Zhao Shanhe explained, "Fang Che holds the execution decree, and this is the first case he handled..."
The prisoners understood, "Zhao Zongzhang's kindness is as vast as the heavens and as deep as the earth."
"After you leave, go to the square and take a look... Over there, he has already killed over ten thousand people..."
Zhao Shanhe let out a long sigh.
Several thousand prisoners simultaneously felt their scalps go numb, "O... One... Over ten thousand?!"
"There are still several batches that haven't been executed... They're waiting to be executed. The square can only accommodate the execution of two thousand five hundred people at a time... Any more, and it would be overcrowded, so they're lined up."
All the prisoners fell silent collectively.
"Don't hold a grudge against Captain Fang Che. This is his duty; he had no choice."
"We understand!"
"Don't even think about revenge later. Don't blame me for not warning you," Zhao Shanhe said sternly.
"We dare not! We'd rather die than dare!"
All the prisoners, even now, were still trembling with the fear of death. Revenge? They hadn't even considered that word!
Zhao Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Start the registration, signatures, and then..."
Looking at these busy yet obedient people, Zhao Shanhe muttered, "Fang Che, you bastard, one day I'll make you pay."
However, in his heart, he was secretly grateful.
"Damn impressive! It's only been a few days, and my workload has become so much lighter! The martial world has also improved significantly. If I had known this earlier, I would have transferred here sooner!"
"The finances have increased by several billion... Tsk tsk..."
"Fang Che is so useful!"
...
The prisoners wouldn't seek revenge on Fang Che, but they were still going through the process to prepare for mining.
However, just because they weren't seeking revenge didn't mean no one else would.
The matter with the Black Tiger Gang had come to a close.
The prisoners were almost all executed.
Those women, except for a few dozen who changed professions and began to torment girls, had their pimps directly killed.
Each of them received Fang Che's three sentences.
Those three sentences gave them the courage to face life and start anew.
Now, they were either already home or on their way back.
One thing was certain.
When Fang Che spoke those words, his expression, gaze, tone, and the sound of those three sentences would likely resonate in their hearts for life.
This was a savior who pulled them out of the depths of misery!
For the rest of their lives, they would never forget this day.
As for the remaining hundreds of thousands of people who had been waiting with anticipation for so many days, they left in disappointment after being persuaded by others.
However, they all showed a strong expectation: Perhaps, Captain Fang's next action would rescue our daughters?
As they left, countless people knelt and prayed.
They hoped to meet Captain Fang.
They voiced their pleas.
They anticipated, they yearned...
But for Fang Che's expectations and hopes, he could only remain silent.
Because Fang Che had no confidence at all. He didn't even have the courage to say the words 'they are still alive.'
Facing everyone's pleas, Fang Che only came forward to say, "I will do my best!"
But this one sentence gave people infinite hope.
They left.
But Fang Che's heart grew heavier.
Now.
Fang Che had begun investigating and gathering information about the Green Dragon Gang.
The Green Dragon Gang was much larger than the Black Tiger Gang.
And the current problem was that after just taking down the Black Tiger Gang, the Green Dragon Gang had seemingly disappeared overnight.
They had broken into smaller groups and hidden themselves.
Fang Che had the locations of the main and branch headquarters, as well as the lists of various families, but taking action now would not achieve the goal of eradicating evil completely!
Because too many people had already dispersed and hidden themselves.
The headquarters and branches were basically empty.
"Feng Yun is indeed a remarkable person."
At the teahouse.
Fang Che and his three companions sipped their tea, their brows furrowed in concern. "With the Black Tiger Gang eliminated, it's as if the Green Dragon Gang has been disbanded. We have nowhere to start now."
"Regarding the deaths during the interrogations, compared to the interrogation materials, what about the questions currently being asked?"
Feng Xiang Dong spoke up, "There's still something we can do."
"No, doing so will only distract us."
Fang Che sighed, "There's one thing you should know. Ever since the members of the Black Tiger Gang were killed, Feng Yun has been able to control the fate of anyone with the Five Spirit Toad."
"The operation didn't hide anything. So, as soon as they were captured, Feng Yun already knew."
"But why did he wait until we had interrogated them for so long before taking action?"
"He wanted us to believe that we had asked the right questions during the interrogation, leading us to investigate further... This would not only waste a lot of manpower and resources but also be a futile effort."
"During this time, he could calmly arrange other plans."
"So, from the beginning, I didn't consider it a priority."
Fang Che said, "Feng Yun is someone I and Dong Yun Yu have encountered in the Yin Yang World. He's truly formidable. Among all the young people I've met, Feng Yun is undoubtedly the best when it comes to scheming, tactics, and intelligence."
He spoke with a heavy tone, "I'm talking about all the young people I've seen, including those from the Only Righteous Sect and our side."
Dong Yun Yu, when mentioning this topic, momentarily suppressed his contempt, and said, "Indeed, Feng Yun is truly formidable."
"I kept bringing up his name as the culprit inside, but he only started acting openly after that.
