Chapter Seventeen
Li Kaiguo indeed had this intention. He had learned the lesson he had learned from the Zuo family, and was afraid that the White Lotus Sect would rescue people again this time. He did not just talk about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but he would definitely do it.
Although Hao Xi likes to flatter, he is still very efficient in doing things. For these helpless gentry, catching them is like tying up chickens, along with the prostitutes, shopkeepers, waiters and so on in the restaurant.
came out. What surprised Li Jianguo the most was that he actually saw Professor Zhang in the crowd.
Professor Zhang seemed to have been raped. His hair was disheveled, his body was covered with filth, and his clothes were in a mess. He looked panicked. When Li Kaiguo saw him, he was so frightened that he hid in the crowd, screaming while hiding.
She screamed, her voice as shrill as that of a woman.
cao, Li Jianguo couldn't listen to such a perverted voice. The Guiwei sword flew out from his hand and stabbed into Professor Zhang's chest. This knife went straight from the chest to the back, piercing through the middle. Professor Zhang's eyes were as wide as a dead fish.
There was a heavy sound in his throat, he spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and he died.
A group of gentry saw Professor Zhang dying in front of their eyes, and they all screamed out of fear. A few of them seemed to have heart disease, and fell to the ground with purple faces. They could only see that the air was coming out, not the air coming in.
Li Kaiguo was furious and shouted: "Anyone who dares to scream again will be killed immediately." This roar was so loud that it immediately shocked the gentry. They all closed their lips tightly. No one thought that Li Kaiguo was just making false threats. He was
How dare you kill someone...
Hao Xi rushed forward, pulled out the Guiwei sword, wiped the blood on Professor Zhang's body, and then dragged the sword to Li Jianguo.
The knife was too heavy. Hao Xi was already panting from exhaustion when he dragged it to Li Kaiguo. Li Kaiguo took the big knife, held it in a sword pattern, frowned and said: "You are in poor health too, so you need to practice hard."
It was rare for Hao Xi to blush. He had never practiced properly. When Li Jianguo said this, he felt a little ashamed. This was unprecedented. With his thick skin, he blushed? That happened when he was a child twenty years ago.
.
Unknowingly, Hao Xi admired Li Jianguo more and more. If nothing else, Hao Xi admired Li Jianguo's martial arts. Moreover, Li Jianguo was decisive in killing, ruthless, and not afraid of powerful people.
An unknown person took control of the entire Gaomi County in two days, which made Hao Xi worship Li Jianguo like a god.
Therefore, it was just an ordinary reproach, and Hao Xi was actually ashamed. He responded repeatedly and made up his mind to work hard from tomorrow on, so as not to be looked down upon by Mr. Li.
Li Jianguo looked at Hao Xi strangely, and suddenly felt that this guy was somewhat loyal, and he could do something to him. If it was done well, he wouldn't mind giving this sycophant a chance.
Li Jianguo waved and asked Hao Xi to come closer and said something in his ear. Hao Xi's originally rosy face turned a little blue, but after hearing the end, he still nodded and led a team of soldiers.
, and went straight away.
Li Kaiguo smiled with satisfaction and ordered all the gentry to be escorted to the gate of the county government office. After a while, they arrived at the gate of the county government office.
Fan Zongquan's head was like a mess all the way. When doing business with people, when he came up with an idea to seduce someone, he just turned his head and had seven or eight ideas. But now, after thinking about it, he discovered something
There is no way. The only reliable way is to beg Li Guo to spare his life. But whether he can survive or not depends entirely on what the other party thinks.
He didn't know that even the name Li Guo they knew was fake, so how could he know the character of Li Kaiguo, whose real name was Li Kaiguo? Knowing oneself and not knowing the other, no wonder the calculation was wrong. Based on what Li Kaiguo did in Gaomi County in the past two days
Things like that, ten out of ten, they wouldn't even think about living.
I...I..., Fan Zongquan trembled in his heart and wanted to cry loudly, but he did not dare to speak out. He just cried silently. Around him, the gentry were all crying quietly, a group of forty or fifty people.
All the men looked like naughty boys, crying non-stop.
With tears in his eyes, Fan Zongquan suddenly saw a man in official uniform standing at the door of the county government office, with a group of soldiers behind him. He looked familiar. He quickly winked to let the tears flow out, and his vision became clearer.
Isn’t it Mr. Zhang?
"Master Zhang, help me, help me." Fan Zongquan couldn't help shouting. His cry for help was so loud that even he was startled.
As soon as he started, all the gentry screamed for help, and even the prostitutes all cried out delicately, "Master Zhang, save the slave family." "Master Zhang, your slave is a red cat, please let the slave go quickly.
.”
Magistrate Zhang was livid and ignored Fan Zongquan and the others. He shouted, "Master Li, what's going on? Your soldiers are so brave that they dared to pull me out." His voice was full of anger.
, looking furious.
Li Jianguo ignored him at all and asked, "Where are the county police officers?"
Hao Xi, who had been standing next to Magistrate Zhang, replied: "I'm afraid that they don't have eyesight, so I, together with the magistrate's family, have been detained in the backyard by someone, and someone is watching."
Li Jianguo nodded and said: "Send someone to urge Captain Feng. When the people are almost killed, go and ransack the homes. Before dawn tomorrow, the homes of all those who conspired tonight will be ransacked. Thirty people will be left here.
Personally, please go and help." Hao Xi got a good job this time, and the nervousness that he used to be good at arresting county magistrates disappeared. He left behind thirty officers and soldiers and ransacked his house happily.
When they heard that their homes were going to be raided, the gentry cried as if their whole family had died, and begged Magistrate Zhang to save them. They only begged Magistrate Zhang, but no one dared to beg Li Kaiguo. They were afraid and it was better not to beg.
, I am afraid that I will be killed on the spot if I ask for help, which shows how terrifying the image of Li Kaiguo, the murderous devil, is.
Li Jianguo looked at Magistrate Zhang who was still looking ashen with a half-smile, and said calmly: "Master Zhang, didn't you hear their cry for help? Isn't Master Zhang prepared to intercede for them?"
The muscles on Magistrate Zhang's face couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect that Li Guo would attack so quickly. He originally thought that Li Guo would rely on him to find out his true origin, so he didn't dare to do anything to him.
They expected that Li Guoxin was ruthless. Although he made concessions and showed weakness at every turn, even when more than a hundred members of the Zuo family were turned into minced meat in front of his county government office, he pretended not to know. Even so, it did not dissuade Li Guoxin.
The country’s murderous intention towards him.
Begging for mercy? For whom? Begging for mercy for the gentry? He couldn't save himself. He suddenly regretted it. If he had known that he would end up in this situation, it would be better to kill everything from the beginning than to have no chance of survival now.
"Li Guo, what exactly do you want to do?" Magistrate Zhang said in a hoarse voice.
Li Kaiguo had a straight face and shouted: "It's not what I want to do, but the court has assigned me to eradicate the rebellion." As he said that, he pointed the Guiwei sword in his hand at Magistrate Zhang and said with a ferocious smile: "Do you want to plead for the rebels?
Are you an accomplice?"
Magistrate Zhang was shocked and said quickly: "I am not an accomplice. I have no knowledge of what they did. Li Guo, I am getting old and now I want to resign and return to my hometown. For the sake of my age
, just let me go."
Li Jianguo shook his head. He did not expect that Magistrate Zhang was so tough at the beginning, but now he changed his mind so quickly and begged for mercy all of a sudden. This was a delaying tactic, and Li Kaiguo understood it after thinking about it. For an official
, pretending to be a grandson is his specialty, and it’s not surprising that he will fall out like a book.
"Not an accomplice? Then how come someone admits you are an accomplice?" Li Jianguo said loudly.
He pointed to the group of gentry and said, "Whoever comes forward and confesses that Magistrate Zhang intends to commit rebellion, I will make the decision and spare his entire family from the death penalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Zongquan, who had the fastest brain, immediately understood what Li Jianguo wanted to do. Just like a man who was about to die of thirst found a bucket of water, Fan Zongquan fell to his knees with a 'pop!' and shouted: "Little man"
I want to sue County Magistrate Zhang. He colluded with the bandits with the intention of treason. Also, he wanted to harm Mr. Li. The disrespect he just showed to Mr. Li was the idea of Magistrate Zhang. He wanted to kill you so that the bandits could
Attack the city. Sir, please kill him quickly. This villain can testify for you, and all the gentry can also testify for you, my lord." He kowtowed again and again, looking like he was loyal and courageous.
His head turned quickly and he immediately made up a lie. The other gentry were not fools. Who could have so much money? Who was not so dark-hearted? At this time, he could survive as long as he slandered Magistrate Zhang and rebelled.
Just slander. As long as they can survive, let alone a small county magistrate, even if the emperor is here, these unscrupulous gentry will dare to slander.
So everyone shouted, some said that it was Magistrate Zhang who forced us to kill Mr. Li. Some said that Magistrate Zhang personally led the way for the bandits. Some said that Magistrate Zhang had surrendered.
The Tatars wanted to treason. The most outrageous thing was that Magistrate Zhang wanted to be emperor, so he wanted to frame Mr. Li, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the restaurant owner and the waiter screamed, saying that Mr. Zhang was plotting a rebellion in the restaurant. They heard it with their own ears. The prostitutes also talked about the rebellion one by one, and blamed the rebels on Magistrate Zhang.
discredit.
For a time, County Magistrate Zhang was the target of thousands of people and was reviled by everyone. He was so angry that his eyes were bleeding, his lips were trembling and he could not speak. He wanted to rush forward and pinch these beasts who had slandered him one by one.
Death. But he forgot that he had done many things to slander others during the trial of the case. This time it was just retaliation.
Li Kaiguo laughed loudly and said: "Untie them." At that moment, officers and soldiers broke the ropes of the gentry one by one. All the gentry escaped from death, and everyone felt like they were reborn. At that moment, they were right
