Lin Yi oversaw brutal executions where criminals were thrown to the mob. Many people were tried and punished in a single night, with one man, Lord Liu, enduring horrific punishment while witnessing it all.

This is not Lin Yi being ruthless, it’s because Lin Yi knows these people have committed heinous crimes.

Their lives cannot be left to themselves but must be delivered to the people to dispose of.

They must be delivered to those oppressed by them to handle.

Only in this way can the public outrage be better quelled.

Nowadays, these people harbor immense resentment in their hearts.

Precisely for this reason, this public outrage cannot easily be appeased,

Only when these individuals have been dealt with in a way that satisfies the people can the resentment in everyone’s hearts be dispelled.

Also because of this, in the period that followed, Lin Yi, as he had done before, handed over everyone to the people below to handle.

Only by allowing them to vent their anger personally can it be more conducive to better administration.

As time passed day by day, the trial of these hundreds of people lasted nearly two days before it was completed.

At the end, only Lord Liu was left hanging alone on the flagpole.

During this time, Lin Yi arranged for people to forcibly feed him water at regular intervals, preserving his life.

But now, Lord Liu, who originally had a few strands of white hair, has turned completely gray in just a few days.

Not only that, the whole person is like a living corpse, with eyes void of spirit.

He doesn’t say a word or make a move, only opening his mouth instinctively when fed, without resisting.

Seeing this, Lin Yi understood in his heart that he had utterly lost his will.

Only thus can such a scene appear.

Though this man has committed many crimes, despite looking pitiful now, he had a completely different demeanor when oppressing the people, probably the oppressed had the same mindset then.

Regarding how Lord Liu should be dealt with, Lin Yi didn’t use any extra tricks but handed him over to the people as well.

This time, the people surprisingly acted in unison.

No one approached to beat him as before but instead, each person merely gave Lord Liu a slap and then without much attachment, passed him on to the next person.

Thus, one by one, everyone gave Lord Liu a slap from top to bottom.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi shook his head.

Throughout, Lord Liu’s eyes remained vacant, without any trace of spirit. In the end, unsure whose hands he was in, he lowered his head and it ended.

Reaching this conclusion, everyone thought it was over, and they sighed deeply, finally avenging years of accumulated grievances.

However, although this man had passed, they still carried a small knot in their hearts.

After all, compared to everyone before him, Lord Liu’s end was a lot easier and far less miserable.

Lin Yi naturally observed everyone’s expressions, clearly seeing the traces of dissatisfaction and unrest.

Therefore, Lin Yi knew very well that the group had not completely vented their resentment.

For this reason, he immediately waved his hand to have Lord Liu carried back.

Seeing this man’s state, Lin Yi directly waved his hand, speaking resolutely to the nearby official responsible for execution:

"Take him out, put an end to this."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the people were momentarily stunned, and then all knelt down in unison, erupting in a mountain-shaking chorus:

"Long live the Emperor!"

This resounding shout came from the depths of everyone’s hearts.

Because of this, Lin Yi’s reputation reached an unprecedented height there.

Regarding saying that resentment fades with death, it depends on the person; some have done so much wrong that unless handled this way, the knot in their hearts can never be untied.

Gazing at the crowd below, Lin Yi remained silent for a long time before speaking authoritatively:

"My good citizens, rise.

I have done all this as my duty.

I promise you all, when I return, I will establish a department specifically for monitoring officials.

No matter which city it is, as long as it belongs to our Dayou Nation, you will find their presence.

No matter the rank of the official, if they dare commit acts of extreme wickedness, I will never tolerate it.

Regarding today’s events, I will command Dayou Daily to print the second issue of the newspaper, distributing it everywhere to serve as a warning!"

As Lin Yi’s words fell, they were immediately met with cheers from below.

Meanwhile, those responsible for recording had already documented the scene, quickly organizing it into an article for Dayou Daily.

The second issue of Dayou Daily was successfully compiled.

When Lin Yi returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, someone had already delivered it to him.

Looking at the newspaper content in his hand, Lin Yi pointed out several places for revision and returned it to them, simultaneously instructing them to expedite printing; once completed, distribute it to each county.

In the time that followed, although the corrupt officials were dealt with, East County City became leaderless, with not a single government official around, only soldiers maintaining order.

For this reason, Lin Yi did not leave.

Instead, he chose to station himself here, waiting for the officials sent from Capital City to take over before departing.

This is where Leng Yu’s efficiency must be praised as extremely swift.

On Lin Yi’s third day here, Capital City directly dispatched nearly a hundred officials.

These officials were all promoted from lower levels and relatively capable.

The most critical point is that these individuals belong to Leng Yu’s faction.

Indeed, no need to doubt, they are from Leng Yu’s faction.

Though this girl had only been in the Capital City for just over ten days, she successfully garnered a group of supporting officials.

All of these individuals were carefully selected, with thorough inspection; anyone with any trace of misconduct was not accepted by Leng Yu.

Importantly, those authorized by Lin Yi will be trained as reserve officials.

They will also be used as replacements for the first batch of officials.
