The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 70 Vicious
This shout was heard clearly not only by the government office but also by the people around.

In just a moment, a group of officials ran out of the yamen. When they looked at the badge in Li Miao's hand, their faces changed and they hurried over to kneel down and greeted him: "Sir!"

Li Miao waited for a while, and when he saw that no one else was coming, he spoke: "Why are there only these people?"

One of the officials replied tremblingly: "Sir, Eunuch Cheng came this morning and tortured several of you. Now they are all in jail..."

"Most of the yamen runners and soldiers were taken by the inspector to follow Eunuch Cheng to do his work..."

"Right now, there are only so many people in the government office..."

Li Miao nodded: "You look smart, what's your position?"

"Your Excellency, I am Jiao Qingfeng, the clerk of Tai'an Prefecture..."

"Okay, Jiao Limu, listen carefully now." Li Miao said to everyone.

"I am here on a mission under the Emperor's orders. His Majesty has allowed me to act at my own discretion. From now on, everyone will obey my orders. You, Jiao Limu, will be the leader."

"Now, the lives of tens of thousands of people in Tai'an Prefecture all depend on you."

Jiao Qingfeng held a low-ranking official position and was just in charge of paperwork. When had he ever heard such words or had to worry about such things?
Hearing Li Miao's words suddenly, he immediately trembled like a sieve and stammered, "Sir, I, I..."

He shivered for a long time and couldn't speak clearly.

Li Miao was in no mood to listen to his nonsense. He stretched out his hand and slapped Jiao Qingfeng in the air with his unique skill "Ice Soul Palm". He drew a streak of cold air in the air and hit Jiao Qingfeng.

This palm strike was certainly not intended to kill anyone. Jiao Qingfeng only felt a chill spread from his chest throughout his body and he immediately calmed down.

"Are you clear-headed?" Li Miao asked.

"Yes, yes. Sir, I am awake now." Jiao Qingfeng replied.

Li Miao said: "Everyone has heard it clearly. This is an emergency, so I will only say it once."

"You have just heard that this is related to the lives and property of tens of thousands of people in Tai'an City. If something goes wrong, not only you officials of Tai'an Prefecture, but also the prefect of Jinan Prefecture and the governor of Qi and Lu will go to hell!"

"I'm going to say this first: if this disaster can be overcome, I, the Jinyiwei, will submit a memorial to ask for your credit! The reward money will be taken directly from the prefect's home!"

"If you can't get through it - those who are derelict in their duties will be killed! Those who escape from office will have their entire family exterminated!"

"Is it clear enough?!"

"Understood, sir!" everyone answered in unison.

"Okay!" Li Miao immediately ordered: "All of you divide into five groups, take the remaining soldiers, and go guard outside the city gate."

"From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Tai'an City. If one person escapes, all of you will be imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison."

There are four city gates in Tai'an City, namely Jingxuan Gate, Yueyan Gate, Tai'an Gate and Yangsheng Gate.

Li Miao first divided four groups of people and sent them to the four city gates respectively, and then said to Jiao Qingfeng: "Jiao Limu, where is the hall of your Tai'an Prefecture Inspection? Take me there."

Jiao Qingfeng took Li Miao to a house. Li Miao walked in and looked around. He walked to a corner and stomped his foot.

bang——

The floor tiles collapsed, revealing a box inside.

Li Miao reached out and grabbed the box, opened it, and took out a set of Jinyiwei uniforms, an embroidered spring sword, a bronze sunflower flower belt, and a pair of soap-patterned boots.

He handed the pile of things to Jiao Qingfeng: "Change them, change them now."

Jiao Qingfeng put on the clothes in front of Li Miao tremblingly.

He was thin and the clothes were loose on him, making him look like a monkey who had stolen clothes. He did not have the dignity of a Jinyiwei at all.

Li Miao stepped forward and pulled the back collar of the clothes and tightened the belt, so that he barely looked less funny.

Then Li Miao handed the captain's badge on his waist to Jiao Qingfeng: "Take it, Jiao Limu. From now on, you are the captain of the Jinyiwei."

"Ah? Sir, I, I..." Jiao Qingfeng began to stutter again.

"Take the remaining soldiers, carry your weapons, mount your horses, and patrol back and forth outside the four city gates."

"If there are any officials who are lazy or want to escape, just use this embroidered spring sword to kill them." "If there are people from the underworld causing trouble outside the city, use this official uniform and waist badge to scare them away."

"This is not just a trivial matter like your usual work. It concerns the lives of all the people in the city."

Li Miao looked straight into Jiao Qingfeng's eyes.

"You are also an official. As an official, you have to open your mouth. Above you is a carrying pole, and on the carrying pole are human lives."

"I don't care how much you two mouths eat on weekdays. Once you are full, now that things have come to a head, you have to carry this shoulder pole for me."

"Do you understand?"

“Yes…” Jiao Qingfeng instinctively shrank back, looked into Li Miao’s cold eyes, and shuddered: “Yes! Sir!”

"Go."

Li Miao gave an order and Jiao Qingfeng left.

He then went back outside and found the waiter he had brought with him.

"Little Second Brother, you heard it just now."

"Now, I ask you questions and you answer them. Don't hide anything. Do you understand?"

The waiter shrank back, "Yes, yes."

Li Miao asked the waiter in detail where he had been in the past few days, who he had met, where his food and drinks came from, and whether he had met anyone with a non-local accent.

After Li Miao asked this question, he pointed his finger at the waiter's neck and the waiter fell down.

Li Miao picked up the waiter, threw him into a room and closed the door.

The city is full of dangers at this time, and staying in this yamen is the safest place.

Li Miao turned around and walked into the inspection room.

This patrol inspector was a spy planted by the Jinyiwei to monitor the actions of the Taishan Sect. When Li Miao first arrived in Tai'an City, it was he who handed over the official uniform to Li Miao.

After all, Li Miao was traveling light, so he sent people to deliver some things that were difficult to carry or unnecessary to use to Tai'an City in advance, and the things would be given to him when he arrived.

Li Miao did not take away everything at that time.

He reached into the box, took out a pair of dark black gloves and put them on his hands.

This is his weapon.

In Li Miao's hands, no magical weapon could withstand his abuse, and was not even as strong as his body. Therefore, ordinary weapons were actually a limitation for him.

Only these gloves woven from natural silk can barely withstand his violent inner energy.

Li Miao used his Qinggong skills and walked out of the yamen like a dark shadow and arrived outside a private house.

With a slap of his palm, a big hole was blasted out on the wall.

Li Miao walked in quickly and pressed the chest of a man in the room who had a look of fear on his face, and transferred his internal energy into him.

"Wow--"

The man vomited in response, spitting out a bunch of scarlet poisonous insects.

Li Miao didn't even look at him. He flashed to the street and used his ears to listen to the sounds around him.

Regardless of the coughing, as long as there is a sound of vomiting, Li Miao will directly break through the wall and pass in his true energy.

The Ming Cult is so cruel and cruel that it has gone beyond the realm of fighting in the martial arts world or even in the imperial court!

This is not a time of chaos.

This is a preparation to transform all the people in this city into hosts to be parasitized by the poisonous insects!
