Chapter 137 Establishing Prestige
Chapter 137 Establishing Prestige
"I am a person who is very clear about rewards and punishments. Since you were drunk on night duty, you should be punished! The first person to stand up will be given five sticks of the killing stick! The first batch will be given ten sticks! The second batch will be given twenty sticks! As for the people I pointed out..."
Chen Pingan raised his head and glanced at a few people, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Eighty sticks!"
"Ah! Eighty sticks!"
"Please spare my life, sir! Sir!"
"My lord, eighty strokes of the stick will kill a person, my lord!"
"My Lord, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please spare my life!"
"My Lord, my Lord!"
"."
The jailers who were named by Chen Pingan cried and shouted for mercy.
I originally wanted to take advantage of a loophole and be clever, thinking that the worst result would be that I would be punished together with the people in front of me, and that if I didn't stand up, I might be able to escape.
I was just hoping for the best, but I never expected it to end up like this.
This is a killing stick!
A normal person would need to recover for a long time after being hit by a few sticks.
Eighty sticks of killing power!
They were hit by one stick after another. Even if they were all men who had mastered martial arts, their lives would be in danger.
Why bother!
Looking at the miserable cries of these jailers, those who first admitted to being drunk felt relieved for no reason.
"Execute immediately!"
Chen Ping'an's expression remained unchanged, and he said firmly.
"Yes!"
Some of the jailers responded loudly and pressed the offending jailers to the ground one by one.
After a while, bursts of howling were heard all around.
The first to be beaten was the jailer who first admitted to being drunk, and he was only given five blows.
Although he was inevitably injured after the fight, thanks to the energy and blood he learned from the entry level martial arts, it was not a big problem after all. He would be able to recover after a dozen days of rest.
Next came the first round of ten beatings with sticks. After they were beaten, each of them sighed and limped, relying on their strong physiques to barely stand up.
Then came the second batch of twenty sticks. They could no longer stand up on their own. In fact, they were just martial arts masters with full blood and energy. If they were ordinary men, they would probably be hanging on for life after being hit by these twenty sticks.
A long time had passed after the twenty beatings, but screams and howls could still be heard all around.
At first, the howling was quite powerful, but it became weaker and weaker as time went on. By the end, some people couldn't even scream, and their bodies twitched with every blow of the stick.
The jailer who was executing the killing stick was somewhat reluctant and unconsciously wanted to hold back. However, he was frightened by Chen Pingan's look and dared not have any other thoughts.
The eighty-stick killing blows have been carried out.
Not to mention what the jailer who was executing the sentence was thinking, but the faces of the people watching around them all turned slightly pale.
Too bad!
This is no holding back at all!
It's a bloody mess!
After all, these jailers were strong people. Although they endured eighty blows, fortunately no one was beaten to death on the spot. However, looking at their appearance, they were barely breathing, exhaling more than inhaling, which was not much better than death.
This scene made everyone look at Chen Pingan with a hint of fear.
Chen Pingan seemed unaware and his face remained calm.
"Punishment is not the goal. The goal is to make everyone remember the lesson and take it as a warning. In my opinion, those who dare to act are also considered to be men. Those who know their mistakes and correct them are also teachable. But those who know their mistakes but don't correct them and don't admit them are a lesson for us! If such things happen again in the future, don't blame me for being cruel.
I understand now!"
At this time, whether they were sincere or not, everyone agreed with Chen Pingan's words.
"Understood, my lord."
"Oh, by the way, I was the one who pointed out these people in the end. Min Chatou." Listening to everyone's responses, Chen Pingan seemed to remember something.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Behind Chen Pingan there was a middle-aged man with a leopard-like head. He stuck his head out and responded respectfully.
“These people, since they dare not even admit their mistakes, then my South City Prison does not need such people.
You check the list, count the names, and those who are not on the list will be dismissed directly. As for those who are on the list, I will personally go to the Nancheng Town Government Office to explain the situation and ask the Chief Commissioner to deprive them of their registered status. "
Upon hearing this, Min Chatou was stunned at first, then responded respectfully.
When the jailers around heard Chen Ping'an's words, they held their breath and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of causing Chen Ping'an's displeasure.
It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!
If the injury is serious, you can recover! As long as the identity of the jailer is still there, keep a low profile for a while, and you can eventually live your life as before.
But if he loses his identity as a jailer, he will lose everything!
Looking at everyone's reactions, Chen Pingan was very satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Since taking office as the prison chief of South City, Chen Ping'an has been waiting for such an opportunity. Unfortunately, he has never encountered it in all these days. Today, he can take advantage of Chu Qirong's incident to make a move.
Among these drunk people, a large number of them were Chu Qirong's close confidants. It was just the right opportunity to deal with them all at once.
Establish your authority, establish your authority. If you don’t establish your authority, where will your authority come from?
Of course, there are some sensible people among them. If they can humble themselves, it means he is tolerant.
As a superior, you naturally have to use both kindness and force!
Chen Pingan slowly stood up from the big chair. This action made the jailer standing in the front row nervous.
"Relax, I have only been here a short time, and everyone still has a limited understanding of me. In fact, I am a very simple person. I will give everyone who is willing to follow me and work for me everything they deserve, and we will have a good time together. Even if something happens, I will take responsibility for everyone.
As for those who sing the opposite tune, those who pretend to obey but actually disobey.”
Chen Pingan smiled.
"You have seen the end."
"Some people may be very brave and don't care even if they see it. They will continue to do what they should do. Well, that's fine. But I remind you, don't let me find out if you do this. If I find out, you won't even die peacefully."
"Don't believe it? You can try it."
Chen Pingan had a smile on his face, but everyone only felt the pressure coming towards them.
Some jailers swore in their hearts that they would never offend Lord Chen no matter what.
A regular meeting to publicize and implement the policy made Chen Pingan very satisfied.
The goal has been achieved, and the authority has been established.
He didn't expect everyone to love him, and he didn't have that much time. He at least had to make sure that everyone feared him and didn't mess around with his subordinates.
As for whether this fear can be transformed into awe, we can only wait and see in the days to come.
Just as he said, he will not give less than what is due to everyone.
After finishing his work here, Chen Pingan dismissed all the jailers and left the South City Prison, heading towards the South City Pacification Office.
Chu Qirong’s matter has not been completely dealt with yet.
