"Capture all of them first. We can interrogate them later if they are not corrupt."

Wang Yi waved his hand and Lee Hu immediately led his men to arrest all the officials pointed out by Fatty.

In an instant, there were more than a dozen empty seats in the meeting room. Although the remaining officials had frightened expressions on their faces, it was fortunate that not many of them were flustered.

Wang Yi nodded to himself. Judging from their performance, they should be considered Qingbai officials. Of course, even if there were fish that escaped the net, they would not dare to do so again.

To them, Wang Yi was even more difficult to get along with than Lee Hengtai.

Lee Hengtai was only a little harsh on the average survivor, but this Wang Yi was obviously targeting these officials. Of course, he had no qualms about that.

"And you officers." Wang Yi turned around and his gaze landed on the military officers that were brought over from the prisoners.

These officers were all officers at the first rank of the company commander. They could be said to be the backbone of the gathered Lianfeng Mountain, and the officers at a higher rank were all ordered to be locked up by Wang Yi.

Those senior military officers were Lee Hengtai's trusted aides. Even if they didn't plan to avenge Lee Hengtai, they were a huge threat to Wang Yi.

No one could guarantee that if they were to be released back into the army, would they take advantage of the fact that their Lianfeng Mountain had just changed hands and that they were currently in the weakened state?

It was precisely because of this thought that in the Lianfeng Mountain Army, all of the regiment leaders, along with those above the rank of lieutenant colonel, were to be killed, in order to avoid future troubles.

Although this was too brutal, Wang Yi couldn't wait that long. If anyone dared to pose any threat to Wang Yi's ability to gather Lianfeng Mountain, Wang Yi would not spare anyone, even if they had potential.

"You are all at the base level of the army and will obey orders. But now, you are prisoners, and I will only give you one way. Once you return to your respective teams, do the thinking for the soldiers under your command. If you perform well, you can be demoted to a lower level, perform poorly, or fan your soldiers against you …"

As Wang Yi said this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. This was already the greatest tolerance Wang Yi could give them.

The group of officers below fell silent. It was obvious that Wang Yi's words had a great effect on their thoughts.

As for whether they actually want to follow Wang Yi's orders, that would depend on their own understanding.

"Right, that Chen De and Wang Bin, where are they being held?"

Noticing that these officers were silent, Wang Yi thought for a moment and purposely mentioned their names.

As expected, when these officers heard Chen De and Wang Bin, their expressions immediately changed.

About a third of the officers' faces darkened, and some even started whispering to each other. As for the rest of the officers, they didn't display much of a reaction, and some even had expressions of schadenfreude.

Wang Yi nodded to himself, and remembered all the gloomy faces of the officers. If anything were to happen to Lianfeng Mountain later on, Wang Yi would at least have someone he could suspect.

"Bro Yi, those two are in the military camp." Lee Hu said in confusion. Previously, Bro Yi was the one who ordered them to be locked up.

"We can't let these two sinners who instigated the war, who caused us survivors to fall into internal strife, stay alive. We'll kill them in public as soon as the sun rises to set an example for them." Wang Yi glanced at Lee Hu and said calmly.

However, although his tone was calm, the unconcealable killing intent was very obvious. Everyone present could clearly feel it, especially the officers, who felt chills go down their spines.

A Guild Leader and a Chief could be killed just like that, and some of the smaller officers would be even less hesitant.

Obviously, Wang Yi was warning them.

Don't make any small moves. If they do anything that would damage the gathering place, Chen De and Wang Bin would be their role models.

"This is how the captives will act for now." Wang Yi glanced at the officers and said to Dong Zhengbing.

"Leader Dong, I will be counting on you to manage Lianfeng Mountain. I will send one of my subordinates, Captain Yang Bing Yang, to assist you. In military terms, you can ask him if you have any orders."

Wang Yi had no choice but to leave Yang Bing in the Lianfeng Mountain.

It had to be known that Lianfeng Mountain was not like the gathering place with coal. The population was almost ten times that of the latter, and there was even a Military Plant amongst them. In such a sensitive place like the experiment base, Yang Bing who held the military power of the Lianfeng Mountain could firmly hold these things in his hands.1

The gathering place for coal was different. Luo Heng was only a soldier who was in command of a few hundred Grand Green Mountain. The real military power was still in the hands of Hu Meng.

"Alright." Zhengbing nodded. How could he not know that his current position as the leader was completely given to him by Wang Yi. At most, he was just a puppet supported by Wang Yi.
