After a long time, he spoke:

"Open the door."

The closed hall door creaked open.

After crossing an archway for about ten steps, another door opens.

Everyone who was waiting in the outer hall looked over.

"The general has finished handling the affairs, please come in."

The guard stood with his hands solemnly and said to everyone in the outer hall.

In the outer hall were Dong Yun sent by the imperial court, Huang Tong, a chamberlain sent by the palace, and Liao Hua, who was temporarily appointed as the governor of Liangzhou.

Liao Hua has leadership experience and is also the most sensitive to the smell of blood.

His nose moved, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked warily towards the inner hall.

Looking at Dong Yun who was taking the lead, he opened his mouth and wanted to give a warning.

But seeing that Dong Yun had already crossed half of the archway impatiently, Liao Hua finally closed his mouth.

Sure enough, Dong Yun, who was the first to enter the inner hall, suddenly exclaimed:

"what happened?"

"Oh, nothing's wrong."

Zhao Guang stood up to greet several people, with a calm face, and replied:

"I was dealing with internal matters within the Xinghan Association just now. These people all made mistakes. After being reprimanded, they felt guilty and shameless, so they committed suicide."

After a rough count, there were at least a dozen corpses.

If you want to say that the dead people still holding daggers in their hands committed suicide, that's normal.

But you said the guy with the arrow fletching in his back committed suicide?

How did he commit suicide?

Take the arrow feathers and insert them into your own back?

And for those few, why did the knife pass through the back?

Are people from the Xinghan Society so special even when they commit suicide?

Looking at Zhao Guang, who was as calm as if nothing had happened, and then looking at the people in the Xinghan Club who bowed their heads and remained silent.

Not to mention Dong Yun and Huang Tong, even Liao Hua couldn't help but feel frightened: How cruel!

This Zhao Erlang is indeed a figure who has followed Xiao Wenhe for so many years.

This was done ruthlessly and absolutely!

After all, Liao Hua spent a lot of time in Liangzhou, and his relationship with the Guan family was unusual.

Dong Yun and Huang gestured with their eyes, asking him to be the first to speak.

Liao Hua had no choice but to bite the bullet, stepped over the scattered corpses, walked to Zhao Guang, and whispered:

"My dear nephew, this matter doesn't have to be like this!"

"The few of us were still angry before we came here. This time, the most we can do is make the culprit surrender. As for the others, they have made meritorious deeds before the battle."

"Severe punishments and punishments are enough. Why did you take such a heavy blow without discussing it with us before?"

Zhao Guang smiled, shook his head and said:

"Uncle Liao, as I said before, these people did something wrong and committed suicide because they were ashamed of others."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh with some compassion on his face:

"Hey, who told the Xinghan Society to put loyalty and righteousness first? Who among the people who came out of the Xinghan Society doesn't regard the word righteousness as their life? Without righteousness, what's the point of living?"

Liao Hua didn't think much of this.

But Dong Yun already wanted to have a relationship with Zhao Erlang's mother.

Am I pretty?

Pretty!

It would be okay if this matter was ordered by King Feng Gui.

If it was just the Zhao Erlang in front of him who made his own decisions, he might be taken care of by a certain ghost king by then.

Liao Yuanjian (also known as Liao Hua) had a close relationship with the Guan family, and he had worked with King Feng Gui for so long, so I heard that King Feng Gui wanted to call him uncle.

No matter what happens to King Feng Gui, he will always take Tiger Girl's face into account and will not embarrass him.

Chamberlain Huang has gone back. As long as he stays in the deep palace, who can do anything to him except the emperor?

The one who suffers the most is himself.

I am at the Chancellor's desk, and King Feng Gui is still in charge of the Secretariat's affairs!

Intimidating people within the Xinghan Association to commit suicide, what a powerful official!

The more Dong Yun thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible for him not to speak:

"Yes, yes! General Zhao, there is no need for this!"

"We came here this time just to see the various workshops in Liangzhou and the situation of the military and civilians on the border for the imperial court and the emperor."

"After all, the Lord has been in Buliangzhou for a long time, leading the army to fight against the thieves in Guanzhong. There is no control over the people below. Occasionally, some people are restless. That is normal."

"Just give me a warning. It's so impulsive to cause such a murder. It's so impulsive..."

He swore that no matter whether it was the court or the palace, he just wanted to warn the Xinghan Society not to cross the line.

At most, it's just a punishment, as a sign of beating.

The Xinghan Association only needs to hand over the culprit and give him a fine, and the matter will be over.

After all, who hasn’t noticed what the Xinghan Society has done for the imperial court over the years?

If you make a mistake, you just need to correct it.

There is no need to be so extreme, no need, really no need.

But it was obvious that the reaction of the Xinghan Society was so strong that it far exceeded the expectations of the court and the palace.

Zhao Guang lowered his eyes and said quietly:

"There are state-owned laws and regulations, and the Xinghan Association is based on loyalty and justice. No one can cross this bottom line."

"The mistakes these people made were not small mistakes. In order not to harm their families, they had no choice but to commit suicide to save their face."

A scholar dies for a confidant, which is not just a talk among the Han people.

That's really something you can do.

Zhao Guang committed suicide by biting these people to death. Unless he wanted to become a life-or-death enemy of the Xinghan Society, outsiders would just listen and believe it.

What Zhao Guang did was more than that.

I saw him clapping his hands.

So someone came in carrying several large boxes and lined them up by the door.

"General Zhao, this is..."

"This is all the files of the Xinghan Society that have accumulated properties in Duyezawa over the years."

Zhao Guang looked at the boxes and sighed, "In order to make up for this mistake, the Xinghan Association decided to hand over all the properties in Tonoze to the state."

These boxes represent the countless money and food that the Xinghan Society has invested over the years, as well as the countless profits in the future.

Just giving it away like this made even Zhao Guang, who married a former rich woman in Hanzhong, feel heartbroken.

There was no other way, my brother said:

Since the place where the mistake was made was Tonozawa, let’s just make a clean break with it.

This also prevents anyone from using Tonozawa as an excuse to settle old scores in the future.

The Xinghan Society is no longer the small society it once was.

The elder brother has almost reached the top of the Han Dynasty's power.

Coupled with today's sensitive moment, we must not leave any excuses to others.

If my brother falls, he doesn't need others to pounce on him and bite him. The Xinghan Association will be torn apart by itself.

And those guys who are more greedy than wolves will never give up until they eat up Xinghanhui.

Although the current approach may easily make people think that Xinghan is a little too weak, and if he is frightened, he will even vomit out the meat in his stomach.

But there are also people who think that Xinghanhui is really ruthless in doing things.

The King of Yue ordered three hundred soldiers to commit suicide, which directly frightened the courage of the enemy soldiers.

At the moment, Dong Yun and others looked at the corpse in front of them, and then at the row of large boxes next to the door.
Chapter completed!
