Chapter Eleven: Hole Cards

Li Kaiguo stood in front of the gate of the Zuo family with a gloomy face. The Zuo family was really big, with one house occupying a quarter of the south of the city, and nearly eighty officers and soldiers could actually surround it.

"Hao Xi, do you think the Zuo family is rich?"

"In Gaomi County, the Zuo family is the richest, sir. I heard that even Xiang Lang Dun Dun, the Zuo family's excrement dumper, has white flour cakes to eat." Hao Xi answered carefully. He looked at Li Jianguo.

Bad mood.

"Oh, the servants all eat white flour cakes, so the Zuo family has a good reputation?" Li Kaiguo asked with a half-smile.

Hao Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to understand what Li Kaiguo wanted to ask, "Your Excellency, the Zuo family still has a good reputation among the local gentry. However, it is not good among the people."

The smile on Li Jianguo's lips deepened and he said, "Tell me and listen."

Hao Xi licked his dry lips and said, "It goes without saying that the people in the south of the city have not been harmed by the Zuo family, not even a single family can be found."

As he spoke, he pointed to the house next door to the Zuo family and said: "Sir, please look, this is Wang Wu's house. Since the year before last, the Zuo family has wanted to buy his house, but Wang Wu is unwilling to sell it. The Zuo family has offered to sell it."

The police framed Wang Wu, saying that he poisoned the Zuo family's cattle with poisonous weeds, and the Zuo family sued the Yamen. Magistrate Zhang followed the law and sentenced him to forty beatings. Unfortunately, Wang Wu was not in good health to begin with.

Within three days, the person died. Later, Wang Wu’s mother-in-law went crazy. The Zuo family threw thirty taels of silver to Wang Wu’s eight-year-old son, forced him to put his fingerprints on it, and took over Wang Wu’s house..."

When he said this, Li Jianguo interrupted: "What about Wang Wu's son? Can he still be found?"

Hao Xi said: "Later, the thirty taels of silver were robbed by Di Lai. Now he and the crazy lady live in the Tu Tu Temple, and they usually make a living by begging. If you want to find them, just go to the Tu Tu Temple."

Li Kaiguo hummed and said: "Go to the county government now and pass on my order and have all the police officers go door to door to tell them, saying that the Zuo family is rebelling, the court wants to raid the Zuo family's house, and there is a grudge against the Zuo family.

Those who want to report will all come to Zuo's house, and I will make decisions for them on the spot."

Hao Xi nodded and was about to take the order and leave when Li Kaiguo said again: "Wait a minute, you take five soldiers with you. If any of the agents dares to disobey the instructions, they will be killed on the spot."

Hao Xi could hear the murderous intent in these words and couldn't help but shrink his neck and loudly agreed that he had brought five soldiers.

Feng Guoyong stood aside speechless, but his heart was as turbulent as the waves.

Others didn't know, but he knew that the ancestor of the Zuo family was the leader of the Donglin Party. Although he was later framed by Jiu Qiansui and died tragically in prison, the Zuo family still had great influence in the Donglin Party.

Although Wei Wei was executed by the emperor at this time, the Zuo family had not yet been rehabilitated, so the Zuo family had been hiding their power and biding their time in an attempt to revive. Therefore, they deliberately made friends with the local gentry and scholars, and secretly interacted with the Donglin Party members.

, it is not an exaggeration to describe the power of the Zuo family as mountains and seas.

I just didn’t know where this Li State came from. In just two days, Gaomi County became the domain of Li State. The Zuo family offended Li State, and Li State quickly counterattacked. With lightning speed, Zuo family

The family had no power to fight back.

At this time, Li Guo asked Hao Xi to find the people who had been persecuted by the Zuo family. Didn't he know that Li Guo wanted to show kindness to the people. What was he trying to do? He had a faint feeling in his heart that Li Guo was not seeking revenge on the surface, but actually seeking revenge on the surface.

The picture must be very big.

Li Guo was decisive in killing and bold, leaving no room for action and not caring about the consequences. He seized every opportunity to strengthen himself, and all this happened under his nose. Feng Guoyong had to let the cold go out from his bones. He was originally a little bit cold.

The unconvinced thoughts have long been put away, and the thoughts in my heart are just crazy. Today's Ming Dynasty..., maybe...

Li Kaiguo didn't know that Feng Guoyong's mentality had already changed in just these few words. He looked at the closed door of Zuo's house and shouted: "Break the door open, go in and ransack the house."

Feng Guoyong was shocked and woke up from his thoughts. He responded quickly and shouted: "Hurry up and hit the wood. After entering, all the men will be detained in the front yard and the women in the backyard. No property is allowed to be touched without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

.”

Li Jianguo looked at Feng Guoyong strangely, feeling as if Feng Guoyong suddenly became loyal.

All the soldiers responded in a roar, and the thick wooden bumper broke the door with just one impact. The soldiers cheered, and were about to swarm in, when suddenly there was a sound like fried beans, and the first few soldiers who rushed in seemed to be hit by a giant.

It was hit by a hammer, and without even a scream, he fell to the ground and died.

It was a fire blunderbuss. Li Jianguo thought for a flash that this Zuo family really dared to use fire blunderbuss to fight against the army. The soldiers, who were extremely excited, were suddenly attacked, and some people died, so they ran back in fright.

Li Kaiguo was furious. These bastards were so cowardly. Fortunately, he didn't lead these soldiers out of the city to suppress the bandits, otherwise he would have been defeated. After concentrating his mind, several black lines snaked into Zuofu.

The inner situation instantly appeared in his mind, in every detail.

In an instant, he made a decision, stretched out his hand to grab the three wooden shields, and shouted: "Everyone rush in after me. Anyone who dares not to enter will be killed without mercy."

As he spoke, he threw the three wooden shields in one by one, but others were hiding by the door. He only heard a few more sounds like frying beans. Li Kaiguo immediately jumped in and saw that the left house was full of firecrackers.

The smoke behind her.

He rolled on the spot and rushed into the smoke. He could only vaguely see the silhouettes of people in front of him. At this time, his supernatural power was activated, and a black line circled in his eyes. He did not get up, and the steel knife swept across with all its strength, instantly killing three people.

He cut the person in half, then stood up and rushed forward, following the black line drawn by the supernatural power, slashing left and right with the steel knife, only to hear screams again and again, and in the blink of an eye, he killed several people in a row.

The soldiers followed Li Kaiguo and rushed in. The smoke gradually dissipated and they saw that their masters were leading the way bravely. The morale of all the soldiers was greatly boosted. They were not afraid of fire and muskets and fought together with the Zuo family servants who were surrounding them.

Li Kaiguo targeted the servants who were holding firecrackers. He was very strong and cut the person into two pieces with one strike. He then killed another person. The remaining servants were so frightened that they dropped the firecrackers and fled to the back house.

go.

Li Kaiguo was able to allow these people to escape. He had long steps and strong strength. He only took two steps to catch up from behind and hacked them to death.

The servants of the Zuo family had no fighting spirit. Speaking of it, they were weaker than the corrupt officers and soldiers. At this time, seeing Li Jianguo killing people was like cutting grass, they still dared to resist. After being the first to put down their weapons and surrender, they had the intelligence to do so.

All the servants surrendered.

Although Li Kaiguo was furious, he also knew not to kill prisoners indiscriminately, so he ordered all the servants of the Zuo family to be tied up.

The rest of the Zuo family all gathered around Uncle Zuo who was sitting in the back hall, and they were all frightened. Some of the timid ones were so frightened that they peed their pants when they heard the shouts and screams of the officers, soldiers and servants.

There is a smell of sao everywhere.

But at this moment, no one cared about it. Compared to death, the smell of urine was nothing.

Zuo Yingxue stood behind Mr. Zuo, with a pair of jade hands holding the poor silk scarf. Her bright eyes like autumn water were full of fear. Although she was smart, she had not experienced the world. She was suddenly faced with life and death, and she did not faint.

Yes, he is already very strong.

The pretty green cloud is leaning against her, with a pair of black and white eyes looking left and right, as if sizing up the escape route. However, with her slender waist and small lotus feet, escaping is probably as difficult as climbing up.

sky.

After a few more screams, the sound of fighting suddenly stopped, and everyone's heart sank. When Li Kaiguo, covered in blood, led his soldiers into the back hall, the people of the Zuo family were as frightened as mice.

Hiding behind Uncle Zuo, a few timid ones fainted happily after screaming.

A group of officers and soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers. They saw a group of Zuo family members without weapons. They knew that they were seeing the real master. They were all happy, including the good ones, seeing all the beautiful people.

The female dependents, Seyu rushed to her head and tried to pull her away.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to rush forward, Uncle Zuo suddenly shouted loudly: "Here is the iron coupon given by the emperor, who dares to act rashly?" As he said this, he lifted up the yellow cloth covering his knees, revealing a semicircle with an average length and width of approximately 100,000 square feet.

One foot, an iron plate with gold inlays.

The officers and soldiers were frightened and stopped together. Uncle Zuo stood up suddenly and raised the iron coupon above his head. He saw the gold-inlaid characters on the iron coupon shining brightly, "This is a sacred object of the emperor. Don't you kneel down yet?"

?”

How could such a domineering thing be fake? The officers and soldiers' legs went weak and they immediately fell to their knees, not daring to raise their heads.

Uncle Zuo glanced around majestically and saw that no one dared to raise his head. He immediately felt relieved and was about to shout the officers and soldiers away. Li Jianguo was covered in blood and holding a bloody steel knife in his hand. He led Feng Guoyong through the door.

Come.

Seeing the soldiers kneeling on the ground, Feng Guoyong was furious and shouted: "You bastards? What are you doing for rebels kneeling down? Why don't you get up and tie them up."

The officers and soldiers drank from Feng Guoyong and did not dare to listen. Instead, they all stood up, but they were too trembling to come forward to tie him up. Li Jianguo stopped Feng Guoyong, who was about to scold him again, and raised his eyebrows at Mr. Zuo.

Chin, said: "Look what that old man is holding?"

Feng Guoyong took a closer look and was immediately startled. He quickly knelt down and shouted: "Feng Guoyong saw the iron certificate given by the Holy Emperor."

The officers and soldiers cheered and knelt down again after Feng Guoyong, leaving only Li Jianguo in the hall. Li Kaiguo said in shock: "What iron certificate? Did the emperor give it to you?"

Uncle Zuo sneered and said: "This is the death-free coupon given to me by the Emperor to the Zuo family. You, a little little spy, dare not kneel down when you see the Emperor's things. Do you want to rebel?" It turns out that Li Jianguo

There was no time to change clothes, so I was still wearing the clothes of a police officer.
