Chapter two hundred and nine, deterrence
Looking at Zhao Xianda's pretending to be calm but unable to hide his panic, Pan Long couldn't help but be surprised.
He originally planned that the contemporary Duke of Chen, as an important minister of the court and the emperor's confidant, must have real talent and knowledge, and it is naturally no problem to have both wisdom and courage.
But now it seems... this person does not seem very outstanding in terms of wisdom or courage.
He contributed to the conservatives and participated in the operation of asking for trouble for the Fengshangshi. This was a very unwise man. As the emperor's confidant, he should be firmly neutral and ignore anything except the emperor's orders.
If this is just a matter of interests, then it would be a bit stupid to not hide in the capital of Shendu after doing this, but stay in this capital.
In fact, Pan Long is actually mentally prepared to lose everything.
According to his guess, Zhao Xianda should have hid in the capital of Shen, and might even be hiding in the palace.
It would be fine if others were to plot against Shang Man, but he really offended himself. Pan Long asked himself, his reputation in the court was probably very bad.
The experience of Yiwenxia in Yizhou has proved that he hates evil as much as his enemies; what he did recently in Youzhou has proved that he is a ruthless character who cannot get into the sand in his eyes.
Don’t hide in a safe place after provoking him?
Are you stupid?
As a result, Zhao Xianda really didn't hide in the Shendu, which made all the backhands that Pan Long had considered before useless.
It is of course a good thing to save effort, but the opponent's level is too low, which makes people feel a little lacking in success.
If Zhao Xianda is not smart enough and just makes Pan Long feel a little lack of accomplishment, then the timid he showed at this moment really makes Pan Long feel tired.
Regardless of past and present, the cultural circle in which Pan Long lives respects brave and strong heroes and looks down on cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death.
As the coach of the royal secret guard, Zhao Xianda specializes in training dead soldiers who are desperate, but he is afraid of death, which really makes Pan Long look down on him.
If the opponent is such a person, even the victory seems to depreciate.
But then he thought, Zhao Xianda was not smart enough and lacked courage. At first glance, it seemed very bad, but wouldn’t it meet the needs of the Emperor of Daxia?
Anyway, this secret guard coach doesn't need to live and die for him, just train the dead soldiers for him. Being stupid, being timid, of course, more obedient and more control.
...Perhaps deliberately cultivated himself into this embarrassing appearance is the way of self-protection by Duke Chen of all dynasties.
If they were both smart, brave, strong and fearless, would the Emperor of Daxia still feel at ease to let such a person take the confidential power?
It's like Wang Jian asking for the field and asking for trouble, Yue Fei was killed by being honest and upright. Facing a feudal king who was more dangerous and vicious than a tiger, as a secret guard, he had to find a way to make himself seem harmless.
But if you encounter an emperor who "you don't want money to invite fame, and you want money to be corrupt. In short, as long as you have high prestige and ability, I will kill you to eliminate future troubles", then...who told you not to kill him in one knife back then?
Pan Long sighed in his heart, his figure flashed and came to Zhao Xianda.
"Who asked you to frame Shangman?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't frame it!" Zhao Xianda denied it, "He really killed someone back then!"
"Isn't Yang An, the daughter of the hotel owner, you are controlled by you to commit suicide!"
Zhao Xianda's expression changed drastically. Obviously, he didn't expect that Pan Long could even find out this.
"I'll ask for the last time." Pan Long said harshly, "Who asked you to do these things?"
Zhao Xianda's body trembled slightly, his face was as dark as the color, his lips kept trembling, and his teeth were trembling, but he did not answer.
Pan Long smiled: "Very good! Although you are a little timid, you really have some courage. Then I will give you a face. I won't ask who instructed you. As long as you go to Xiangping Mansion to testify to Shang Man to prove that Yang An's death has nothing to do with him."
Zhao Xianda widened his eyes: "How can I?"
Before he could finish his words, he turned into a scream.
Pan Long directly grabbed his right hand and crushed the finger bones of his little finger.
"Don't think I'm negotiating with you!" Pan Long's eyes showed a fierce look, "I'm in a bad mood these days, so you'd better not refuse my kindness!"
Zhao Xianda wished he could curse this for no reason! Is your kindness crushing someone else’s little finger?
But he dared not.
Pan Long's heavy murderous intent and the cold and fierce light flashed in his eyes clearly told him that this hero from the north was not a bargaining person, and he was even more unwilling to refuse.
If you refuse, I am afraid that "death is miserable" is not enough to describe it, and it will probably be "death is so miserable that I want to die".
Although Zhao Xianda has been a secret guard instructor for many years, their Duke Chen has always been responsible for ideological education and never involves other content. Strictly speaking, it is actually a relative civilian.
Of course, he has also fought with people and seen blood. He is not a nerd who only works hard in the martial arts field all his life. But he has never seen a particularly cruel scene.
Pan Long killed hundreds of secret guards with one knife, which was the most brutal scene he had ever seen in his life.
At this moment, the blood of hundreds of people was overflowing, and the solid rammed earth had not yet penetrated, and the red and slippery flowed to his feet.
This was enough to scare him.
In addition, Pan Long tortured him after a disagreement, which even wiped out his last courage.
He was scared, he was convinced.
Even if he was inevitably dead, he wanted to die more happily. He was killed instantly like those dark guards. It was considered a rapid death without pain, at least better than now!
This is because he thought it was a bad idea. If he really had the courage to refuse, Pan Long might really show mercy and give him some pleasure.
After all... Pan Long really doesn't like to torture others.
Zhao Xianda sighed and said dejectedly: "Even if I testify in Shangman's case, it cannot change the fact that he killed someone back then. After all, it will be a death sentence."
Pan Long shook his head: "If you are willing to testify, Yang An's death cannot fall into him, so he doesn't need to show his ambitions by death. With his qualifications, he will get a few credits to be punished and demoted to exile or labor."
"Just like this?" Zhao Xianda asked in confusion.
"Do you have a better way?" Pan Long asked back.
"I mean... so many patrol officers have sued for the lawsuit this time, as long as the businessman is resolved?"
"Can you solve anything else?" Pan Long asked with a sneer, sneering.
Zhao Xianda shook his head: "There are not many cases I have intervened in, and most cases are not actually sentenced to death. Even if I testify one by one, those patrolmen will inevitably suffer from a few years of imprisonment."
Pan Long knew what he was saying was the truth.
This is a conspiracy and openness.
If the patrolmen's black history was dug out, there would be a lawsuit, and this lawsuit... is basically impossible to win.
The evidence of revenge in the martial arts world is mostly conclusive, so there is no room for denial!
"Since that's the case, why are you talking about this?" Pan Long said angrily, "Do you want to use the Great Freedom Heavenly King Curse to control the plaintiffs and ask them to withdraw the lawsuit? There is no way to withdraw the lawsuit in a murder case, and it is useless to control it."
The laws of Daxia have some similarities with their previous lives. For example, any serious crime is directly convicted by the government. It does not matter whether there is a plaintiff or not.
Since the cases of the patrolmen have been exposed, there is no room for modification if the evidence is conclusive.
Unless you are doing something secretly and really protecting the officials, you can turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
Zhao Xianda was stunned for a moment when asked back, and then explained: "Actually, as long as you are willing to talk to the other side, everyone will take a step back, and the matter will be done."
His voice came to an abrupt end, but Pan Long slapped him with a palm.
Pan Long waved his hand and he took all the unconscious Zhao Xianda and the corpses of the secret guards all over the ground into the mountain and sea map. Even the blood and blood-stained soil on the ground were taken in by him.
In the huge training ground, except for the mess and the smell of blood in the air, there was no trace of fierce fighting.
His figure gradually faded away, and disappeared without a trace before the hole in the basement was discovered by the theater people.
A moment later, Pan Long flew towards Youzhou in the strong wind.
