The authority of the River Patrol Bureau has been expanded! For any official below the fifth rank, execute first and report later! A total game changer.
Liang Qu’s heart pounded. Even the shock of Pingyang being renamed Huai East was completely swept away. In ordinary regions, a typical county magistrate is only seventh rank!
At the higher prefecture level, aside from the prefect himself, nearly everyone else falls within that scope as well! Such immense freedom! Liang Qu rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Grand-uncle, is this Mysterious Armor Mask really for me?"
"Would I joke around with you? The borders of the Great Snow Mountain are chaotic—having this Mysterious Armor Mask will make things far more convenient."
Su Guishan chuckled, then his expression grew stern with a warning.
"Execute first and report later. The key is, after executing, you must report. This is not a token for lawless conduct. And it is only valid for officials on both banks of the Huai River. You may not extend it privately. If it is used without cause and found to be for personal gain, it is a grave crime! Even if the other party is truly guilty, if killing them stirs up trouble, you will bear fault as well! Moreover, you must never lose it—losing it is also a grave crime! " "Understood, understood!"
