Chapter 785 62: Kill to Stop Killing! Exterminate Clans and Confiscate Property! (Part 5)_3

Killing a batch, naturally talents will emerge.

Without Duncan confiscating the properties of the entire Southern Han court, there's simply no way to feed so many mouths.

Kill one person.

And you can feed ten thousand, this kind of thing he takes on without hesitation.

A chaotic world is indeed a time for reshuffling, the past is but smoke, under the slaughtering knife of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, all living things are equal.

Guilin City.

Surrounded by a densely packed crowd of people, a young man with fair complexion and no beard led soldiers to open the gate of Guo Chongyue's mansion. Guo Chongyue was once a close attendant beside Liu Chang, later posted as Supervisor of Guilin, scraping so deeply that the whole city was filled with grievances.

His mansion was luxurious, after taking residence in Guilin, the treasures he confiscated were often half for Liu Chang and half for himself, with wealth amassed even exceeding what was offered to the emperor.

The scholarly man responsible for the confiscation was filled with hatred; he carried the pride of a scholar, wore a scented sachet as if to cover some smell. Long-term physical torment had made him lose his youthful vigor. After the Red Army uprising occupied Guilin, he immediately brought his family over, soon being appointed as Guilin's Observer Envoy, similar to a Song Dynasty prefect.

This man was named Li Fengji, the third-ranked scholar in the first imperial examination after Liu Chang's ascension.

After ascending the throne, Liu Chang issued a shocking decree: all who passed the imperial exam must first be castrated before receiving office; those already in office who wished to advance also needed to undergo castration.

That year, the top scholar of the imperial exam was beaten to death by Liu Chang in court for refusing castration.

Ultimately, the dozen who passed all accepted the castration surgery, including Li Fengji. At that time, he was not yet married, losing his own Ji'er due to an absurd imperial exam.

He could be said to have an intensely personal vendetta against Liu Chang.

After Duncan's uprising, taking Guilin so swiftly and managing everything here, Li Fengji was indispensable. He even knew clearly which officials should be killed and which were truly capable, providing a list to Duncan.

The vendetta over Ji'er, irreconcilable!

Liu Chang indulged in debauchery day and night in the palace, even inviting local rogues into the palace to fornicate with palace maids publicly, while he watched with amusement with his concubines.

Pitiful Li Fengji could only sigh deeply at his lower body in the quiet of night, his deep-rooted hatred nearly tortured him beyond recognition, even advancing the Sunflower Manual to the fifth level, bordering the Innate Realm.

Most of the scholars that passed the imperial exam that year sided with Duncan, playing significant roles in pacifying Guangxi.

Carts pulled boxes and boxes of gold, silver, and jewels out from the mansion.

After arranging trusted personnel for the confiscation, Li Fengji immediately went to the execution ground, where a batch of people were to be beheaded.

The execution ground was also surrounded by a large crowd, many celebrating, just waiting for heads to roll.

The person at the forefront of the execution ground was a filthy, terrified old man in his fifties, named Dou Zhen. His story was quite a tale in Southern Han. When Liu Chang decreed the 'Ji'er decree', he was terrified, distressed over his own Ji'er, yet wanting an official position, so he had his son undergo the castration on his behalf.

As for himself, he secretly took three concubines.

This matter was later discovered by Liu Chang, who laughed upon hearing it, not only not punishing him but promoting him and bestowing some rewards.

Some things truly are beyond the reckoning of novels, for novels require logic, while reality does not.

This man was also corrupt and lascivious, quite adored by Liu Chang.

The auspicious time had arrived.

As Li Fengji took the seat at the forefront, the executioner raised his sword, amidst the cheers of the crowd, blood sprayed wildly, and bloody heads were hacked off, as some even rushed forward to devour the flesh, as if only this could vent their boundless hatred.

There will come a day when he too will cut off Liu Chang's head.

Li Fengji rose expressionless, watching the rolling heads, lamenting over the Ji'er cut off during his early imperial exams, his hatred for Liu Chang, never-ending.
