Phoenix Palace.
The door of Taiji Hall opened and Yan Wenli was the first to walk out.
Tang Bandit hurriedly greeted him and said: "Dean..."
The referendum in the Imperial Plaza had just ended and a group of big guys got on the bus and rushed here.
Yan Wenli faced the Tang bandits...
Chapter 412, Killing the Hostages
Phoenix Palace.
The door of Taiji Hall opened and Yan Wenli was the first to walk out.
Tang Bandit hurriedly greeted him and said, "The dean has just finished the referendum and all the big guys have arrived."
Yan Wenli waved his hand to Tang Bandit and said solemnly: "I know."
His expression was solemn and his steps were steady. It was obvious that he had something important in mind.
Everyone stepped forward to salute Yan Wenli respectfully.
"What was the result of the referendum just now, Dean?" someone asked cautiously.
Yan Wenli said calmly: "The killing has been ordered."
Everyone looked at each other at a loss. Killing a person was a decision taken by the highest echelons of the empire and meant the harshest punishment could be imposed on someone.
"The dean said that person has been convicted of treason?" Someone asked in a low voice.
Yan Wenli nodded and said: "Yes, after layers of examinations, he has been identified as a traitor and must be severely punished."
"Then the next action plan How?" asked another.
"Send someone to his residence early tomorrow morning to arrest him. Then immediately execute his hostage." Yan Wenli said coldly.
Everyone looked at each other with some worry. Killing is a very severe punishment, and is often only used in extremely serious treason cases.
"Dean, is there really no other solution to this matter?" Someone asked carefully.
Yan Wenli was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't want to go to this point but there is no other choice. This person's crime is too serious and we must punish him with the most severe means. "As a warning to others."
After hearing this, everyone nodded to show their understanding.
"Then let me be responsible for tomorrow's action arrangements." A burly man stood up and said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Yan Wenli nodded.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Yan Wenli standing there with a solemn expression.
He sighed deeply, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
As a member of the highest echelon of the empire, he certainly knew the weight of the decision to kill. This is not only a matter of life and death for one person, but also related to the security and stability of the entire empire.
He must make the right choice without making any mistakes.
But when he made this decision, his heart was also full of struggle and pain.
After all thatThe man who was about to be executed was once his friend and one of the people he trusted the most.
They have experienced countless ups and downs together and witnessed the rise and fall of the empire.
Now that he had to personally order the killing of this person, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yan Wenli.
He took a deep breath to try to calm down his emotions.
"I must do this for the safety of the empire." He told himself silently in his heart.
Then he turned and walked to his office
Yan Wenli returned to the office alone and sat on a chair to think for a long time. His heart was filled with complex emotions, including reluctance for his old friend who was about to be executed and a sense of responsibility to maintain the security of the empire.
He picked up a document on the table and looked through the contents carefully. This is the entire record of the crimes of the man deemed a traitor. It can be seen from this that this man indeed committed an extremely serious crime that endangered the stability of the entire empire.
Yan Wenli sighed, closed the document and put it back on the table. He understands that as a member of the highest echelon of the empire, he must make the right judgment and decision, even if it means dealing with a former friend.
He stood up and walked to the window and looked outside. The night was dark and the bright moonlight shone on the earth, giving the entire Phoenix Palace a mysterious color.
Yan Wenli closed his eyes and recalled all the times he spent with the man who was sentenced to death. They were once the closest comrades-in-arms and experienced countless ups and downs together. But now everything has changed.
He opened his eyes and his eyes became firm. As the pillar of the empire, he must make the right choice even if it means sacrificing his feelings.
He turned around and walked back to his desk, picked up a pen and began to write an order seriously. This order will be issued to various law enforcement agencies, instructing them to go to the traitor's residence early tomorrow morning to arrest him and execute his hostage.
After writing the order, Yan Wenli put it in an envelope and handed it to a guard to send to the relevant department immediately.
"I have no choice for the safety of the empire." He said silently in his heart.
As the night wore on, Yan Wenli sat alone in his office, full of thoughts. He knew tomorrow's move would be a difficult decision but he had no choice. As the pillar of the empire, he must make correct judgments to safeguard the interests of the country.
Early the next morning, Yan Wenli personally led an elite force to the residence of the traitor who was sentenced to death.
When they arrived at their destination, the man was leisurely drinking tea at home and completely unaware of what was about to happen.
He suddenly felt uneasy when he saw the troops led by Yan Wenli appearing at his door.
"What happened to the dean?" he asked carefully.
Yan Wenli said expressionlessly: "You have been identified as a traitor and now you must come with us."
The man's eyes widened obviouslyDidn't expect this to happen at all.
"There must be some misunderstanding. How could I be treason?" he argued eagerly.
But Yan Wenli did not give him any chance to explain and directly ordered his subordinates to escort him out.
The man struggled desperately to escape but was eventually subdued.
On the way to being escorted, he kept begging Yan Wenli: "Dean, please give me a chance to explain. I really have not done anything treasonous!!"
But Yan Wenli just walked in front silently without any intention of giving him a chance.
In the end, the man was escorted to a secret interrogation room. There he was subjected to hours of rigorous interrogation.
Time and again, interrogators presented evidence accusing him of involvement in a conspiracy to overthrow the Imperial regime.
The man desperately denied and claimed his innocence but finally gave in in the face of overwhelming evidence.
When he finally admitted his crime, the interrogator immediately announced his sentence: murder.
The man suddenly collapsed and begged with tears streaming down his face: "No, no! Please give me a chance. I really have never done anything to harm the empire."
But his pleas elicited no sympathy from anyone. The interrogator grimly announced that the sentence had been handed down and would be carried out early tomorrow morning.
The man fell to his knees in despair and cried bitterly. Yan Wenli stood aside and watched all this expressionlessly.
He knew that as the pillar of the empire he had to make the right decision even if it meant personally dealing with a former friend.
In order to safeguard the interests of the country, sometimes personal feelings must be sacrificed.
