Another stick of incense passed, and although the more than a thousand people below were a little restless, no one pointed out the Chu soldiers hiding beside him to Zhang Han who was standing on the wooden platform.

Not only was Zhang Han's face not at all surprised, but a sneer appeared, as if the scene in front of him had long been as expected. He pulled out his sword from the wooden platform and walked towards those people under the escort of several Qin soldiers.

Watching Zhang Han, the Qin general, enter, the more than a thousand people became even more restless, but when the Qin soldiers behind them, with long halberds and spears in their hands, touched their necks with sharp halberd tips and spears, the restless crowd had to calm down again.

Zhang Han pointed the sword in his hand at one of Kong Wu's powerful men. Several Qin soldiers beside him immediately rushed over and captured the man.

"Great, sir! I'm innocent!" The man shouted loudly with a panic look on his face.

Zhang Han glanced at the man lightly, raised his jaw slightly: "Raise his hands up."

Zhang Han pointed to the man's hands that were forcibly lifted by two Qin soldiers and shouted coldly: "How did the calluses on the hands come up?"

The man replied in a low voice with a dodge: "This is a villain who is rubbed out by farming tools when he is working in farming every day."

A sneer flashed across Zhang Han's lips: "Oh? The farm tools were rubbed out? Very good. Take off his shirt!!"

After the man's shirt was forcibly taken off by several Qin soldiers beside him, Zhang Han pointed at the man's scars and swordsmanship and shouted: "Are these made of farm tools?"

"Great, sir!! "The man knew that he could never deny it again, so he deserved to collapse on the ground and pray for life loudly.

"If you knelt down and beg for mercy when the war was defeated that day, maybe we could spare your life, but it's too late now!" Zhang Han waved his right hand, and immediately two Qin soldiers dragged the man who had collapsed to the ground to the back, and then a miserable wail came from behind. A moment later, a bloody head was picked up by a Qin soldier.

Zhang Han took the head with his eyes closed and gently threw it in the position where the man was standing just now. He looked at the four men and one woman standing on both sides of the head with a smile: "I just wanted to tell me what the end of hiding the thief, right?"

Hearing this, the four men and one woman immediately collapsed on the ground, crying and shouting at Zhang Han to beg for mercy.

But what Zhang Han had already made up his mind would definitely not change because of these people's cry. If the chicken "warning monkeys" were not killed ruthlessly enough, how could it scare those "monkeys" who were lucky?

"Drag it down and kill it together!" Although Zhang Han smiled, the words he spoke were not at all humane.

"Take off their tops, this, and this one!" Zhang Han obviously would not really interrogate one by one, so he directly pointed out several men and asked the Qin soldiers behind them to remove the tops of several people, revealing their respective upper bodies. Except for one man without any wounds from swords, the rest of the people had more or less scars. Zhang Han did not talk nonsense to those people, and directly waved his hand to kill all the people and the people hiding them.

One after another, people's heads were piled up on the wooden platform. Zhang Han's "violent" methods suppressed the people below. After a commotion, several people finally pointed at the man beside him and shouted.

While Zhang Han asked someone to capture the Chu soldiers who were promoted, he snorted coldly against the Yanling people who identified the Chu soldiers: "Why didn't you report it earlier?"

Those families looked at the brutal Qin general in front of them, and their calves couldn't help but shake. One of them was braver and replied stutteringly: "Grand, sir, we are also forced. These people are all soldiers who have killed people. How dare we ordinary people fight against them? What if..."

"Hmph! Needless to say, for your spontaneous identification of these thieves, I will spare your lives." Zhang Han returned the sharp sword in his hand to the sheath.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness to not kill me!" The Yanling people cheered all over the Yanling family when they saw that the "brutal" Qin general was willing to spare their lives.

Zhang Han snorted coldly again: "Don't be happy too early. Although the death penalty can be avoided, the crime of living cannot be escaped! You hide the thief and do not repay you. No one will blame you for ten military sticks to serve as a warning!!"

"What, what?"

There are not many military sticks in the ten strategies, but the military sticks that were executed in the army weighed dozens of kilograms. The place where this stick hit was not a soft place like the buttocks, but to hit the spine! When this stick went down, the beaten people in Yanling couldn't help but scream loudly. Some of the ten sticks were directly broken and they couldn't even stand up.

If you don’t identify it, you will be beheaded. If you point out, you will be beaten with a dozen heavy military sticks, which scared most of the people below, and the more than a hundred Chu soldiers hiding in the crowd were even scared and looked deserted!

However, no matter what these people thought, Zhang Han arrested this time, except for a small number of the more than 500 households and a thousand people who were specially recruited, the rest were families hiding the Chu soldiers. Under his merciless killing, except for that small number of innocent people, most of the remaining more than 100 Yanling people chose to identify the Chu soldiers around him in order to resist the ten military sticks and gain hope of saving their lives.

Some Chu soldiers were about to be caught and killed, so they naturally forced out their fierceness and tried to fight to the death with the Qin soldiers who came to capture them. However, the Chu soldiers with bare hands and fists faced the fully armed Qin army, but they could only end up being killed one by one.

The last whine of the executioner before beheading and the wailings of the Yanling people when they were punished by heavy military sticks made the thousands of Yanling people who came to watch were nervous.

Zhang Han took advantage of the panic of onlookers below and finally shouted: "This time we have only interrogated some people in the northeast corner of the city. We will continue to interrogate tomorrow. As long as those Chu soldiers hiding in the center of the city are not eliminated, we will go to examine every family in the city! And from tomorrow, even if someone comes to identify the hidden people in their homes, they will definitely not be punished only by ten military sticks and let them go! Only today, if those hidden people are identified today, will we forgive the targeters for not punishing them! Remember! The deadline is before sunset!!!"

Zhang Han looked at the crowd gradually dispersing below and showed a smug smile.
