"Cai Xun is a bit too extreme, and his bloodlust is too heavy," Zheng Jun thought, despite having slaughtered over a hundred mountain bandits in a single night and building a macabre pyramid out of their severed heads.
Drawing up a hit list of the local gentry and landlords was simply too absurd. It gave Zheng Jun the strong impression of secret police from a bygone era making arrests based on a list.
The only difference was that the targets being arrested this time weren't the good guys, but the villains.
"Brother, this will take some time. We need to investigate carefully; we can't just kill people indiscriminately," Zheng Jun said to Cai Xun after a brief pause. "We still need to win people over with reason."
True, some of the gentry and landlords were utterly heinous and truly deserved to have their estates confiscated and families exterminated. If the Great Zhou Court couldn't punish them, the Black Mountain Guard could.
