Showing no courtesy whatsoever.

Looking at the grand mansion, he waved his hand and his soldiers quickly surrounded the entire estate.

Without hesitation, he kicked the door open and charged inside.

This was the mansion of a noble from the great Joe.

In the early days, Zhao Dongan had a penchant for bestowing titles, as it was the least costly option.

Granting someone a title required neither military power nor financial expenditure.

Yet those below were eager to accept such honors.

Zhao Dong Nan likely never anticipated that this early action would lead to the establishment of a severely corrupt aristocracy in his civilization which began to rot from that time forward.

With only a few guards in the mansion, there were clearly no match for Zhao e.

In no time, a corpulant man was dragged out by two soldiers from his state.

Needless to say, in an era where many common people were still starving.

Anyone who dared to be this overweight was usually not a good person.

The man struggled while letting out sharp cries.

What are you doing? What do you want? Do you know who I am? You lowly peasants.

As a member of the former great aristocracy, this man had clearly indulged himself.

Although the world had changed hands, these nobles could still sell offbronze utensils from their mansions to ensure they wouldn't go hungry.

continuing to live rather comfortably.

Originally, if these people had remained discreet, Lu Gi wouldn't have had any reason to target them.

However, now they were asking for trouble, and he couldn't be blamed.

This was a perfect opportunity to eliminate these parasites and confiscate their wealth, which would actually save him trouble.

After a struggle that yielded no results, the corpulent man realizing his situation was hopeless, surprisingly did not cry out for mercy, but instead displayed some defiance.

When he saw Zhao, he's standing outside the mansion.

His expression twisted.

Zhao, he had once been an obscure figure in the great Zhao, but after that battle, he had become infamous as a traitor.

Zoe, don't forget you are one of the great Zhao people.

The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers.

The man's shout was utterly contentable, pushing Zhao E into the spotlight once more, enduring the piercing gazes.

Zhao e maintained his composure, his voice firm and composed.

I am Captain Joe E.

Under his majesty, the emperor.

This man has colluded with traitors and spread rumors in an attempt to incite internal strife within our Juan GS civilization.

today at the command of his majesty.

I am here to seal this mansion and arrest the criminal.

Unrelated individuals, please withdraw quickly to avoid injury.

Chapter 304.

Punishing one to warn 100 the commotion on Zhao Yi side was quite significant.

Nearly all the major nobles of the great Zhao in the capital city were apprehended.

In fact, over 90% of the great Joan nobles were implicated in this incident with a continuous ceiling of one mansion after another.

The news spread rapidly.

Luog also timely ordered his subordinates to post a new notice that had been prepared in advance, clearly outlining the crimes of these individuals item by item.

What I say back then, the guy who said, "Am I the only one who thinks this way?" spoke in such a sarcastic tone.

I could tell from his voice that he wasn't a good person.

So why didn't you say anything then? I did.

But did you listen? Now you're all dumbfounded, right? You were deceived by a bunch of traitors and cause trouble for his majesty.

Sigh.

These little people are truly despicable.

They absolutely cannot be spared.

That's right.

They must not be spared.

Let's go settle the score with them.

When the public learned that these great Joan nobles had colluded to intensify the conflict between themselves and the common people, attempting to incite rebellion, their faces turned red with righteous indignation.

However, they felt even more anger towards the traitors who had been bought off.

At the same time, this incident inadvertently made the people view e, the small general who had turned from darkness to light in a much better light, easing their previous grudges significantly.

With the help of the public, all the traitors listed were easily captured.

With several already beaten half to death by the enraged crowd by the time the enforcement team arrived.

Upon seeing the enforcement team, they desperately begged the officers to take them away before they were killed by the mob.

Once all the traitors and their masterminds were captured, Lu G quickly issued a decree for their punishment.

They would be publicly displayed for 3 days and the mastermind great nobles would be executed in front of the palace 5 days later to serve as a warning.

As for the traitors who were bought off by the Grey Joan nobles, considering that they had repented and provided the names of the masterminds, they were spared death, but would face hard labor, being sent to the mines for life.

Lu Gi was clearly determined to impose severe punishment, even with an element of making an example out of them.

The traitors captured by the Ming Jing division had low loyalty hovering around 60 points, indicating they could easily betray at any moment.

Luog believed this was certainly not the whole picture.

This was unavoidable as the population within the civilization grew.

So with the number of such troublesome individuals, a process that must be endured.

On the day of execution 5 days later, Lu Gi personally presided over the beheading, drawing a large crowd of spectators, many of whom had traveled from other cities days in advance.

Watching the once lofty great Jean nobles, now disheveled and miserable as they were brought to the execution platform.

The common people who had suffered under their oppression, let out cheers of satisfaction.

Sitting on the high platform, Lu G was unaffected by the noise, glanced at the sun in the sky, and casually stated, "It is noon.

Execute.

" With Lu G's command.

Soldiers temporarily requisition from the knife and shield battalion raised their bronze sabers.

As the blades fell, blood gushed forth and severed heads rolled off the platform, creating a shocking yet spectacular scene that ignited the entire execution ground.

The spectators cheered.

These great Jean nobles, hated to such an extent, had met their deserved fate.

However, at that moment, Lu G's attention was unexpectedly not focused on the execution ground.

For at the moment the beheading was completed, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

System prompt.

Congratulations, player Luo G, for unlocking the legal Project Public beheading.

At that moment, no one was paying attention to him.

Luog sitting on the high platform lightly moved his fingers to bring up the development panel.

Public beheading level zero publicly execute criminals who have committed serious offenses to achieve the effect of punishing one to warn 100.

In the civilization, the likelihood of public crime decreases by 30%.

But the livability of all cities decreases by one.

After reading this new project, Lu G raised his eyebrows.

He discovered that many projects in a legal system were double-edged swords.

The benefits were obvious, but so were the drawbacks.

However, he had to admit that it was very realistic.

This relatively ironfisted approach could indeed achieve the effect of punishing one to warn a hundred, deterring many from committing crimes.

But it belonged to a form of intimidation.

And such harsh deterrence inevitably brings some negative impacts.

For instance, even law-abiding citizens might feel anxious upon seeing the bloodstained execution platform, causing a sense of unease that likely contributed to the decrease in city livability.

The enticing effect of a 30% reduction in crime likelihood clashed with the cost of reduced livability for all cities, causing hesitation in Luog.

Livability was very important.

The higher the livability, the happier the residents in the city, which in turn would enhance work efficiency and loyalty.

Conversely, if livability decreased, dissatisfaction would arise, leading to lower work efficiency and loyalty and potentially resulting in internal strife or rebellion.

Thus, the decision regarding this development project was understandably torturous for Luog.

To put it bluntly, with just a slight movement of his fingers, he could trigger a series of cascading effects potentially resulting in immeasurable consequences in the distant future.

After struggling for a long time, Lu G, who felt as if his head had swollen to twice its size, ultimately decided to set this development project aside for now.

This decision was indeed very difficult to make and as the ruler of this entire civilization, the thought of facing countless such decisions in the future left him with a noticeable headache.
