Chapter Thirteen: Hell on Earth
Li Jianguo was very angry, but he had no choice. He did not expect that the White Lotus Demon Girl was so cunning that she actually deceived him. Because Lu Yun wanted to escape, he did not attack him in any way, so his powers had no response.
Let her escape easily.
Feng Guoyong counted the Zuo family's population and found that only Zuo Yingxue and Lu Yun were missing. It was probably Zuo Yingxue who was taken away by Lu Yun. But why was this white lotus witch in the Zuo family and kidnapped when she escaped?
Zuo Yingxue? Li Jianguo didn't want to know at all. He only knew that if he saw that witch again next time, he would cut off her cunning little head and throw her into the manure pit.
More than a hundred members of the Zuo family were tied and kneeling on the street in front of the county government office. All men, women and children were wailing in low voices. Occasionally, if someone cried too loudly, the police would come and slap a few people in the mouth.
The sound disappeared, and then started to sound softly again.
It was already noon, and Li Jianguo set up a table at the entrance of the county government office, full of delicacies, which he had honored Zuo Sanye, the shopkeeper of Deyue Restaurant.
He was a gangster and had sex with the White Lotus Witch. He was already hungry and couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered a table of food and wine to be served.
On the edge of the street, countless people were crowded, and there was buzzing and noisy discussion everywhere. These were the people summoned by the police, and everyone had hatred on their faces. The Zuo family is one of the few in Gaomi County.
Li Kaiguo did a lot of bad things during the dynasty. Li Kaiguo learned that there were too many people coming and there was no room for people to stand in front of Zuo's house, so he changed to the wide county government gate.
Feng Guoyong looked at Li Kaiguo and drank up the wine in the flask. Feeling satisfied that he was full, he stepped forward and said: "Sir, the property of the Zuo family has been inventoried. My subordinates have done the math.
There are about 250,000 taels of silver, more than 300 taels of gold, and the rest of the jewelry, jade, antiques, and shops. I am making an estimate. Sir, how will this money be recovered?"
Li Kaiguo rinsed his mouth and said with a smile: "The Zuo family is really rich. In this case, you can borrow money from the county treasury from Magistrate Zhang and deposit the silver into it for the time being. By the way, all the money taken out is cash?"
Feng Guoyong whispered: "There are 200,000 taels, which are all in banknotes. I have brought them with me, and the rest are in cash." As he said this, he handed a thick bag of tips to Li Kaiguo. Li Kaiguo turned over it.
Turning over, there were about a hundred banknotes inside, the largest one having a face value of 10,000 taels.
Li Kaiguo pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, there is no need to deposit it in the county treasury. Please pass on the word. Today, those who follow me and attack the Zuo family will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Anyone who dies in battle will be given fifty taels."
Two, let their relatives come over, and distribute them immediately after I finish dealing with the rebels in the Zuo family. If you fished in the Zuo family, hand in half of it, and I will reward you with the remaining half. Remember
, if you dare to embezzle money behind my back next time, the Zuo family will serve as a warning to you." As he spoke, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Feng Guoyong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "bang!" and was covered in cold sweat. He never thought that Li Jianguo actually knew that he secretly hid his property in Zuo's house. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You deserve to die for your humble position."
, I have failed to live up to the expectations of adults, and I will never dare to humble myself next time."
Li Jianguo snorted in his heart. He knew that it was inevitable for these officials to pluck their feathers, take bribes and bend the law. They just took more and took less. Feng Guo had full power to handle the Zuo family's property. How could he see so many gold and silver treasures?
Will he not be tempted? Therefore, he just deceived Feng Guoyong, and as expected, Feng Guoyong did it himself.
He was proud in his heart, but his face was as cold as ice. He snorted and said, "If I hadn't seen you as a talented person, your head would have been moved long ago."
Feng Guoyong felt a cold air rushing straight to the back of his head, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice. He kowtowed repeatedly and shouted: "Thank you for not killing me. I will definitely change my past mistakes and be loyal to you in the future."
.”
Li Kaiguo said calmly: "You go and pass the message. Also, before dark today, inform all the big families, businessmen and wealthy owners in Gaomi County and tell them that I will be doing something in Deyuelou tonight.
It’s a big deal, Zuo’s jewelry, jade, antiques, and other shops are all on sale, so let them prepare the money and pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.”
Feng Guoyong was so frightened that he didn't come back to his senses, so he went there obediently. Li Kaiguo looked at the red and white sun that had risen to its highest point, and murmured: "It's such a good weather for killing people."
Zhang Jin came over with two executioners dressed in red and said, "Sir, these are the only two executioners in this county. The younger one has been brought here. Please give me your instructions."
Li Kaiguo chuckled and said, "If you have any orders, just follow my orders and kill people."
The two executioners looked at the killing of more than a hundred members of the Zuo family. Although they were all professional executioners who killed without blinking an eye, they had never killed so many people at once. They couldn't help but feel a little scared. They quickly responded and waited with their ghost-headed knives in their hands.
Li Jianguo wiped his right hand on the table, and the messy dishes on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He jumped on it and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, Zuo Jiapi is buying firearms and plotting a rebellion with the White Lotus Sect.
, Today, I have captured them all. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who conspire against the Ming Dynasty will be punished by the nine clans. Today, in broad daylight, I will punish the Zuo family's entire family. Everyone and Zuo will be punished.
If your family has a grudge, I have the privilege to come forward and stab you in person to relieve the hatred in your heart. Who comes first?"
Li Kaiguo had a smile on his face. It would have been better if he didn't smile. This smile actually frightened the people who were watching to take a step back. They were about to kill people but they still smiled. Everyone felt scared.
After Li Kaiguo finished speaking, there was silence, and no one came out. Li Kaiguo had expected this and winked at Hao Xi who was in the crowd.
Hao Xi held understanding hands and pulled Wang Wu's son and crazy woman into the scene. He shouted loudly: "Master, I have been wronged." As he said this, he pushed Wang Wu's son and crazy woman away with a strong hand.
He walked out and said: "Master, Wang Wu's family was forced to ruin by the Zuo family. Please make the decision, master."
Li Kaiguo said majestically: "I'm sure, please tell me in detail."
Hao Xi spoke in a long voice and shouted: "It's miserable, it's miserable, these are Wang Wu's son and mother-in-law, just because he..." He is a person who speaks his words easily, adding fuel to the fire to Wang Wu's family's experiences.
I said it out loud, and from time to time I secretly wiped my tears with my fingers wet with saliva.
In fact, no one in Gaomi didn’t know what happened to Wang Wu’s family, but they didn’t know the details. Hao Xi’s detailed explanation immediately aroused the hatred in the hearts of the people. Before Hao Xi finished speaking, there were already countless
The ten people knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, I have a grievance against the Zuo family..."
The Ming Dynasty version of the grievance meeting officially opened. Countless people were full of hatred, and everyone kept telling their grievances. Although some bad things were not done by the Zuo family, the hatred in the hearts of the people was suppressed as soon as it came out.
I can't help it, who made the Zuo family the largest household in Gaomi County? Naturally, the bad things done by other big households can be blamed on the Zuo family.
Just when someone frantically threw the first stone at the tied Zuo family, smashing Mr. Zuo's head and bleeding, the scene got out of control. The people swarmed up and beat and arrested more than 100 Zuo family members.
He bit again, and in an instant, several people from the Zuo family were beaten to death before they even had time to scream.
A group of officers and soldiers were about to come forward to drive them away. Li Kaiguo waved his hand and said, "Let the people do it." There was no need for executioners, and the people did it for them.
Not long after, blood and broken human tissue were everywhere in front of the county government office. Some were so angry that they bit into the flesh of the Zuo family. Li Jianguo narrowed his eyes. He did not expect that the common people were here.
Driven by hatred, he would actually go crazy like this.
All the officers, soldiers and police officers were also frightened by this hell-like scene. Most of them had already vomited and vomited. Everyone looked at Li Jianguo who was standing on the table and didn't seem to care at all.
Like a demon.
In fact, Li Jianguo was also a little nauseous, but he couldn't vomit, and the nausea only lasted for a while. His heart had become harder than steel since he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the guy who eats human flesh, he would be too disgusting.
, put the colorful intestines in his mouth and chewed them, and he didn't even feel sick.
Hao Xi also vomited again and again. He, a flatterer, had seen such bloody hell-like scenes. But flattery cannot be forgotten even at this time. When all the yellow bile was vomited out, Hao Xi finally stopped
Vomited. With a pale face, he moved to Li Kaiguo's side and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is wise, allowing the people of the county to take revenge and redress their grievances. Your Excellency is really a living Bodhisattva who has been reincarnated and a great benefactor to the people of the county. Today, Your Majesty is here."
This move has moved all the people, and the people will definitely send it to the people. When the time comes, the court will grant you a reward, and you will be promoted to an official, and you will be a meritorious prince for generations to come..."
The more he took pictures, the more confused he became, and he was very excited. If the court knew that Li Kaiguo allowed the people to kill more than a hundred members of the Zuo family, they would immediately send troops to arrest him. Li Kaiguo listened to his clumsy horsemanship
Fart, kicked him over, and Hao Xi received a light kick on the head. He was startled for a moment, and only heard Li Kaiguo say: "Go and send the order to disperse the people. Remember, don't be rude, otherwise
Watch out for your lives."
Hao Xi's face turned bitter, and he looked at the people who were still going crazy. He was so rude, and if the people didn't like him, they wouldn't mind tearing him apart.
After this day, the green bricks in front of the county government office were faintly mixed with red and green. Even after a hundred years, the red color has not faded. This hellish day will always be spread in the mouths of Gaomi County people.
No one who had secretly done something wrong dared to set foot on these blood-stained bricks. Even the Gaomi County government office changed its gate to the east half a year later, making it the only government office in the country that did not open the gate to the east.
The yamen opens to the south.
These are all things for the future, but Li Jianguo, who caused all this, left this mess and came to the city guard weapons depot. Feng Guoyong opened the door with the key he collected from Lu Cai, and a burst of rusty air rushed out.
