Great Governor?

Great Governor!?

When the people on site heard the East Gate General address Qin Tian, they were all stunned for several seconds before they reacted.

After a brief silence, the surrounding people started discussing, pointing fingers at Qin Tian.

Of course, more of them were watching with a mindset to enjoy the show, wanting to see the Chen brothers subdued by someone more formidable than themselves this time!

”General Li, what did you say...?”

Chen Er lay on the ground, half-dead, but he heard Li Mingzhi’s words clearly.

Before Li Mingzhi could answer, Chen Er’s gaze shifted to others, inspecting them from head to toe, then his pupils dilated, his expression showing a kind of apocalyptic terror!

”Great Governor! This humble general... this humble general did not know it was the Great Governor arriving, please forgive me, Great Governor!”

After realizing, Chen Er immediately mustered all his strength to crawl up from the ground, turned around, and knelt down, continuously kowtowing to Qin Tian.

”This humble general deserves a thousand deaths, but please give me a chance to redeem myself... sobbing, this humble general’s assets total a hundred thousand, willing to honor the Great Governor, begging for forgiveness!”

Chen Er was a seasoned official, instantly throwing bait to Qin Tian.

Seeing his brother’s pitiful condition, the bald brother instantly lost the previous arrogance of a local tyrant, knelt on the ground without speaking, only continuously kowtowed to Qin Tian vigorously, his forehead bleeding.

Qin Tian ignored them and fixed his gaze on Li Mingzhi.

”What’s your name?” Qin Tian asked.

”In response to the Great Governor, this humble general is Li Mingzhi, Commander General of the East Gate Third Command Post.”

”Stand up.”

”This humble general dares not.”

”Is my command telling you not to move?”

Li Mingzhi’s face changed, instantly standing up.

”Today’s incident, you’re not guilty.”

”This humble general is guilty, I rudely shouted at the Great Governor, deserving a thousand deaths...”

Li Mingzhi’s words made Qin Tian roll his eyes.

Waving his hand, Qin Tian said, ”If you were colluding with these Chen brothers, then that would be deserving a thousand deaths!”

Thud!

Li Mingzhi was scared, his face pale, instantly kneeling before Qin Tian, saying, ”Chen Er was my subordinate, my poor supervision, willing to be held accountable. But, I can guarantee, I and Chen Er, absolutely did not collude, please discern clearly, Great Governor!”

”I didn’t say I don’t believe you, rise.”

Li Mingzhi stood up again, Qin Tian stared at him and asked, ”The Chen family’s elder brother claims the East Gate is his territory, that he is a local tyrant. General Li, what do you think?”

”I was wrong...” At a distance, the Chen family’s elder brother was dumbfounded.

Li Mingzhi glanced at him, saying, ”The Chen brothers’ tyranny in this generation has been heard by me long ago, but they have operated here for many years, and I’ve been in office for less than two years, indeed lacking the strength to...”

”Just answer me, what crime does the Chen family’s elder brother’s tyranny in the East Gate deserve?” Qin Tian interrupted Li Mingzhi, asking.

”Death penalty.” Li Mingzhi resolutely said.

The Chen family’s elder brother fainted upon hearing this.

”As the protective umbrella of the elder brother of the Chen family, what crime does Chen Er deserve?” Qin Tian continued to ask.

Li Mingzhi took a deep breath, somewhat hesitating.

But upon seeing Qin Tian’s murderous gaze, he once again resolutely said, ”Death penalty!”

”Great Governor, this humble general acknowledges his error, Great Governor...”

Chen Er heard the words and pleaded loudly.

Qin Tian remained stoic, saying to Li Mingzhi, ”Since it’s a death penalty, and they’re within your jurisdiction, your subordinates, why aren’t you executing it?”

Hiss!

Upon hearing, Li Mingzhi took a sharp breath, staring at Qin Tian, said, ”Great Governor, this matter, I think they can first be taken back, slowly investigated, once the evidence is solid...”

”Hum, solid evidence? So are you going to take me, the victim, back too, to slowly question?!”

Qin Tian’s face changed, Li Mingzhi was so scared he was speechless.

”Li Mingzhi, seems like you really are with the Chen brothers...”

”This official is innocent, this official is innocent!”

Listening to Qin Tian’s words, Li Mingzhi could no longer remain calm, instantly drew his weapon, took two steps towards the Chen brothers, facing them who were already powerless to resist, lifted the knife, cut down, their heads rolled off!

Hua la la...

After a moment of silence, the surrounding onlookers instantly applauded.

”Finally, someone can deal with them.”

”Indeed, the Chen brothers have been bullies on our street for years, now they’re finally gone, justice served!”

”Isn’t that the East Gate Commander? So young!”

”Indeed, the East Gate Commander personally eliminating the East Gate bully, it seems our East Gate Commander really is looking after us common folks.”

...

The crowd discussed fervently, but Qin Tian paid no heed to their praises, said to Li Mingzhi, ”Take care of the aftermath properly. If not, I’ll handle it!”

Li Mingzhi was already trembling in fear, nodding repeatedly, ”This humble official will not fail the governor’s instructions! I will handle it!”

Li Mingzhi had not been in office for long at the East Gate, but he knew quite well the official scene at the East Gate, that when officials are in trouble, they are usually taken back privately, no direct executions in front of civilians.

He hadn’t anticipated, that Qin Tian, as East Gate’s Great Governor, would be so cold-blooded, so uncompromisingly honest, making him fear, not daring to meet Qin Tian’s eyes.

...

”Young master, the people are all praising you. Seems like being a good official is really not easy.”

After leaving the crowd, Du Qiuniang whispered to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said, ”Being a good official is easy, just requires some courage. Now, I already have the courage to be a good official.”

After the two left, in the East Gate Government Office, when Li Mingzhi brought back the Chen brothers’ bodies, East Gate Vice Governor Yang Jin was in the government office, upon seeing Chen Er’s body, tears streamed down.

”Chen Er, Chen Da, you... what happened to you... General Li, who killed him?!”

Yang Jin was the lowest-ranking Vice Governor in the East Gate Governor’s Mansion, but because of his connection to the Ninth Prince, no one dared provoke him.

And the Chen brothers were Yang Jin’s people, one could say they were money bags for Yang Jin.

Now the money bags were gone, Yang Jin was naturally furious.

Li Mingzhi also couldn’t afford to offend Yang Jin, respectfully saying, ”Governor Yang, it was... it was Governor Qin.”

”Governor Qin? Which Governor Qin, our Governor’s Mansion has no one named Qin.”

”Qin Tian.”

”...”

Li Mingzhi’s words made Yang Jin pause, then he realized there was indeed Qin Tian in the East Gate Governor’s Mansion, and technically, he was their superior!

”Haha, Qin Tian, no news for eight months, I almost forgot about him.”

Yang Jin sneered, ”Alright, returning and immediately showing me who’s boss, without even a greeting, directly killing my people, huh, with temper, with temper!”
