From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 167

Guan Dayong has no IQ, but his tower-like body can really calm the crowd.

He threw Cao Ning to the ground, and the others retreated in fear, their faces pale, and they dared not step forward.

The people who were loyal to Cao Ning just now dared not say a word now.

"Kill you!"

Cao Ning was furious on the ground: "I'm going to kill you! Dog! Come! Bastard surnamed Wu! Come and protect me!"

As he roared, six or seven people suddenly rushed in from outside the door. They were all strong and powerful men. The leader was even taller and full of murderous aura. He was obviously a master in the army.

When he saw Cao Ning in trouble, his face changed immediately and he walked straight over.

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Guan Dayong! This man is a prisoner of my North City Army! Whoever dares to take him away will be like robbing a prison!"

"Understood!"

He roared and blocked Cao Ning directly, holding the Fang Tian Huaji horizontally and pushing forward.

The leading sturdy man slapped the Fang Tian Hua Ji with his palm, uttered a muffled groan, and stepped back several steps.

"What a great strength!"

The sturdy man couldn't help but exclaimed, his face solemn, and said coldly: "Let my young master go! If anything happens to him, you will all be in trouble!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Okay! I want to see how unlucky I will be!"

"Dayong! Slap him twenty times first!"

"Okay!"

Guan Dayong didn't understand other twists and turns, he just listened to Zhou Yuan's words.

He picked up Cao Ning, smiled, and slapped him directly.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the whole room was silent in an instant, Cao Ning was stunned, and blood immediately flowed out of his nose.

The sturdy man surnamed Wu rushed towards Guan Dayong without hesitation, and the others followed suit.

Zhou Yuan frowned and said in a serious tone: "Dayong! There are unidentified people committing crimes in the company. They can be regarded as thieves plotting rebellion. They can be killed on the spot without holding back!"

"Okay!"

Guan Dayong immediately picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji. This time he did not push it, but smashed it directly, causing a whistling sound.

The strong man knew the opponent's strength and did not dare to block it. He quickly dodged sideways.

But the people behind him suffered. Guan Dayong smashed the Fang Tian Hua Ji casually, and a guard was hit in the chest. The whole person flew out, hit the wall, and then fell to the ground.

When everyone exclaimed, they looked back and saw that the man's chest had been completely broken and he had died.

The strong man exclaimed: "How dare you kill the people of the Fifth Army Camp!"

Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Dayong, the rebels have not been killed yet, why did you stop?"

Guan Dayong did not hesitate at all, and rushed forward again with the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The strong man roared and forcibly blocked Guan Dayong's two moves, but was shocked and his blood surged, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He thought he had deep internal strength, but he didn't expect that the opponent's strength was like a landslide and tsunami, unstoppable.

"Friend!"

The sturdy man looked at Zhou Yuan and said coldly, "You killed the people of the Fifth Army Camp. The governor will not let you go."

Zhou Yuan sneered, "What Fifth Army Camp? I am from the south and don't know those twists and turns. I know that someone broke into the prison in my North City Army!"

The sturdy man took a deep breath and said, "This matter is not over!"

"Master, wait here, I will find the governor!"

After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Cao Ning to reply.

Cao Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha! New bastard, you are done now, someone has died."

Zhou Yuan snorted, but slowly said, "Where are the other deputy commanders!"

No one answered.

Cao Ning smiled and said, "What level are they, and they are worthy of being deputy commanders with me? I am the only deputy commander in this North City Army."

Zhou Yuan said, "Where is the governor?"

Still no one answered.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is no governor in the North City Military Department, then I will have to promote new personnel to fill the vacancy."

"Here! Here!"

A middle-aged man immediately stood up and said with sweat on his forehead, "I am here. I was just frightened and didn't hear you speak for a while."

He didn't dare to go against Cao Ning, but he couldn't just watch his official position go away!

Zhou Yuan said, "Go and inform the people below to gather in the square. I'm going to execute him!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you can't. This Lord Cao is..."

"Are you going? If you don't want to go, just stand aside. There are people willing to be the governor. You are not missing one!"

"I'll go!"

The middle-aged man was about to cry. He ran out and shouted.

Soon, more than 2,000 people from the North City Military Department, except those who were patrolling outside, all gathered in the square.

Although it was autumn, the weather was still hot. Everyone was basking in the sun and couldn't help complaining."What is the new commander going to do? He is giving a lecture!"

"Who knows? Every official has this experience when he takes office."

"Tsk! He is just trying to flatter Cao and say some polite words."

"Southerners are all spineless, let alone a scholar."

"Wait a minute! Stop arguing. Look! Is the one tied up Cao?"

Everyone looked up and saw a strong man carrying Cao Ning and striding out to the stone platform in the square.

"Fuck, it's Cao Ning!"

"The new southerner dares to tie him up? Is there a tough guy here?"

Zhou Yuan walked onto the stage and looked at the more than 2,000 people below. They were not in a team and their military posture was not in a military posture. He felt unhappy.

With such a lack of discipline, he still wanted to do things. What a shitty job!

He said loudly: "I believe you have heard the news. Yes, I am the newly appointed commander-in-chief, Zhou Yuan."

"You can call me Commander-in-chief or Lord Zhou."

"I don't like those red tapes or those things that are roundabout. Don't look at me as a scholar. I am much more efficient than you in doing things."

The people below were talking about it, and some even whistled, as if provoking.

Zhou Yuan ignored them and continued: "I called you here today mainly for three things."

"The first thing is that you let you know who I am and what kind of person I am."

"The second thing is that I want you to know who you are and what you should do."

"The third thing is him!"

Zhou Yuan winked at Guan Dayong, who immediately brought Cao Ning to him and kicked him on the ankle, making him kneel down directly.

The people below couldn't help but exclaimed that Cao Ning, who had been bullying them for so many years, was actually tied up by a fearless southerner.

Zhou Yuan shouted: "Cao Ning, as the deputy commander of the North City Military Division, organized people to gamble, contradicted his superiors, and resisted investigation. According to the laws of our Great Jin, the gambling money should be confiscated, the silver should be fined three times, slapped twenty times, and caned thirty times."

"However, as an adjutant, he knowingly violated his duties, and his crime is aggravated!"

"Therefore, the fine is six times the silver! Slapped forty times! Caned sixty times!"

The surroundings have become quiet, and countless people are looking at Zhou Yuan on the stage, with confused faces.

Zhou Yuan used his internal strength and said word by word: "Guan Dayong! Execute!"

Cao Ning panicked and said quickly: "You bastard, you dare to hit me, you are looking for death, I will never let you go!"

As soon as the voice fell, Guan Dayong slapped him in the face, knocking out all his front teeth.

Screams rang out, Guan Dayong slapped Cao Ning one after another, making him cry for his parents.

At first he was stubborn, but later he begged for mercy with tears and snot, and then he couldn't say a word, his mouth was broken.

Zhou Yuan said: "Take off his pants! Sixty strokes of the cane!"

The stunned people below were completely in an uproar. Damn, forty slaps in the face are already fatal. Cao Ning might not be able to bear it after sixty strokes!

This new commander is too reckless!

If the young master is beaten to death here, that would be terrible.

But he still had to be beaten, and Guan Dayong still held the stick and beat him.

The people below have been oppressed for many years, and it is very refreshing to see, but they are also worried.

If he is beaten to death like this, it will be hard for everyone under the wrath of Yong'an Earl!

Zhou Yuan looked around and suddenly shouted: "Someone just committed a crime in my office building and was killed on the spot by the guards of the North City Military Department! Bring the body up to me!"

A few brave people also got excited and hurriedly brought the body up.

The people below were stunned. Isn't this Cao Ning's guard? He has been domineering and overbearing in the office for years, relying on his status. Now he was beaten to death.

Only then did Zhou Yuan say: "Now! Do you know who I am!"

The people below did not dare to speak, but their faces turned pale.

Zhou Yuan shouted: "Governor Wu! Do you know who I am!"

The middle-aged man was sweating all over his face and trembling: "My lord is... the commander-in-chief!"

Zhou Yuan said: "What about you! Do you know!"

More than 2,000 people below knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Greetings, lord!"
