Not to mention, the scenery of the Sun family's manor is quite good. When the first ray of sunshine shines in the morning, the entire mountain forest is colorful. Red, yellow, and green patches are blown by the autumn wind like

They swayed like butterflies. The whole mountain forest seemed to come alive, and it was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

There is a deep stream on one side of the manor. The Sun family did not know how much manpower was used to build a dam. In summer, the rainwater in the mountains is stored in the valley, and the spring water higher than the dam flows along the dam.

It flows down. Although the tinkling sound of the spring water is loud, it is not noisy. Li Xiao feels that with such a water source, even if there is a severe drought near the Sun family manor, it should not have a big impact on his family.

Sun Damao tried his best to curry favor with Li Xiao, and specially sent his son to accompany Li Xiao on the mountain hunting. Li Xiao raised his gun and killed a tiger with one shot, and then used a fire blunderbuss, blowing off the tiger's head.

Mangui's jaw dropped to the ground. He had never seen such a scene before. Tigers, leopards and bears were running all over the mountain. When did there be more than a dozen tigers on a mountain? There are so many people on the ground in Shandong. Is it possible?

Correspondingly, how many tigers are there?

Of course Li Xiao knew what was going on. This guy Sun Damao just got a group of wild animals and put them in this mountain forest in a short period of time. The direct consequence was that this mountain forest was overrun with beasts. He shot them over.

It is more difficult to miss than to hit.

To be able to curry favor with Shangguan to this extent is considered a good talent.

"Thank you!" Li Xiao patted Sun Damao's son on the shoulder. It must have been very hard to get so many animals overnight.

Man Ye doesn't care about this. The Mongolian people's way of life is firstly herding and secondly hunting. The hunting behavior has been imprinted in their bones. Now that they see so many prey, there is no reason not to kill them.

Using a gun was an insult to our ancestors. We took a hard bow and rode around on horseback to hunt. Wild boars, wild leopards, wild wolves, savages... none of them could escape the sharp arrows of Man Ye and his brothers.

Forget it, let Man Ye have some fun. This guy hasn’t hunted so happily for a long time!

The results of the battle were great. The prey at the foot of the mountain was piled up like a hill. The fishy smell from so far away hit my nose!

"Happy!" Man Ye took a sip of wine, opened his clothes and yelled like a wolf.

"The bear's paws have been chopped off, and the tiger's dick has been chopped off. Let the rest be distributed to the villagers!"

Li Xiao went out to hunt, and there were thousands of villagers. These people were in ragged clothes, and none of them had patches on their clothes. Needless to say, they were all tenants of the Sun family. Presumably, they were prepared last night

This hunting must have been very hard for these tenants. Li Xiao saw that many tenants still had wounds on their bodies.

"The governor really loves the people like his son. It is a blessing for the people of Shandong to have parents and officials like the governor. I would like to thank you for your kindness and thank you for the reward." The flattery immediately spewed out from Boss Sun's mouth.

.

Li Xiao wished he could sew his mouth shut immediately. The Sun family had probably started preparing since he left Jinan. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get so many wild animals in such a short period of time. They were all ferocious beasts, God knows.

Were there any deaths or injuries during the arrest? In order to curry favor with myself as the governor, I didn’t even care about human life.

"Excuse me! Let's go back and have a barbecue. Let's have a barbecue party tonight." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he got on his horse and led the guards back to the manor. Behind him, the servants of the Sun family began to sort out the prey and distribute it to the poor people? What's going on?

Maybe, since it's autumn now, these guys' skins are worth a lot of money.

When the team arrived at the manor, they heard loud cries inside the manor. The servant at the door howled and threw himself in front of the eldest son of the Sun family: "Young Master, the old lady is old."

Man Ye helplessly swung his riding whip, and now someone is dead. It seems that the bonfire party will not be held!

Li Xiao raised his hands to the boss of the Sun family: "There is a funeral in your house now, and I have been harassing the Sun family a lot. I will go in and pay homage to the old man!" Li Xiao said, ignoring the boss of the Sun family, and walked straight inside.

!

The eldest son of the Sun family hurriedly followed behind him. Grandpa's death was a sad event. However, the governor came to express his condolences in person. If word of this spread, the Sun family would have to face a much tougher situation in the future.

"Sir Governor!" Li Xiao came to the mourning hall and saw that the old man of the Sun family had been laid to rest. There were memorial tablets on the mourning hall to offer fruits, and a group of filial sons and grandsons were kneeling on the ground, wearing sackcloth and mourning mourning.

It can be seen that the Sun family was quite prepared for the old man's death. In less than one afternoon, the entire Sun family manor was already deserted.

"Governor, you...! Alas...! There was a funeral at home, which brought bad luck to the governor. Damn it! Damn it!" Sun Damao walked up to Li Xiao and bowed to the ground.

"Mr. Sun, what are you doing? Your God has passed away, so I, my guest, should also come and pay my respects."

"Thank you, Governor!" Sun Damao stepped away.

Li Xiao was about to go to the mourning hall to pay his respects. Suddenly, a little girl threw herself at Li Xiao's feet. "Sir, save my brothers and sisters. I want to fill them with mercury and bury them with me."

Xing'er cried so much that the pear blossoms were wet with rain, but Sun Damao was so shocked that sweat broke out on his forehead.

In the past, only the royal family dared to do such things publicly. If a private person wanted to commit suicide, it was against the rules. Especially during the Xianzong period, Emperor Xianzong had a decree before his death that no human sacrifice was allowed. As a result, even the royal family

Even if a person dies, no one dares to do it openly.

Just because no one dares to do it in public doesn't mean no one dares to do it in private.

Rich families secretly use some money to sacrifice their lives, and local officials are willing to turn a blind eye. After all, it is all buried underground, who can dig it out and take a look?

But this matter must not be made public, otherwise if the local officials cannot suppress it, it is likely to cause bad things. Violation of this kind of thing can be big or small. If there are people in the court, they cannot be exiled. If there are no people in the court, it depends on the emperor.

Whether he is in a good or bad mood. When encountering an emperor with a bad personality like Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, it is common for the whole family to be dragged out and killed.

In short! This kind of thing can only be done by sneaking into the village without shooting.

Now he was actually stabbed in front of the governor by a maid, which was incredible. Sun Damao was so angry that his veins were bulging, and he jumped on his feet and shouted: "You little bitch, how dare you bite me in front of the governor. Come here."

, pull this little bitch down."

Several guards from the Sun family immediately moved towards Li Xiao, trying to pull Xing'er away. But before they could get close to Li Xiao, a fire blunderbuss was pressed against their foreheads.

"My lord governor, please don't listen to this bastard's nonsense. The Sun family is a kind family, how could they do what that man did to die? I hope the governor will not listen to this bastard's words!" Sun Damao hurriedly bowed to Li Xiao with his eyes.

When I looked at Xing'er, I wanted to tear her into pieces.

"Mr. Sun, the old lady of your house has passed away. I have no right to interfere with the affairs of your house. But if someone really died, it would be against the rules. At that time, Emperor Xianzong had already made it clear that people should be deposed in the world.

It's a bad habit. If you really dare to do this, I will spare you, but the court's laws will never spare you." Li Xiao was in trouble. At this time, he dared to threaten the little maid in front of him. He really thought he was dead.

?

"Sir! How dare a villain do such a thing? This little bitch is talking nonsense." Sun Damao pointed at Xing'er with trembling fingers, wishing to stab this little bitch to death with one finger. Seeing it from the corner of his eye, he wanted to secretly

The eldest son of the Sun family, who had slipped out, had been stopped by Li Xiao's guards. The eldest son of the Sun family looked at his father in horror. He had already seen soldiers in the yard. I am afraid that the entire manor has been occupied by soldiers.

"No, I'm not talking nonsense. The boss of the nursing home, He, was leading two people to force my younger siblings to drink mercury. When I came, I saw that my younger siblings had been tied up. Now I don't know if they were poisoned.

Sir, please go and have a look. If it's too late, my brothers and sisters won't be able to survive." With Li Xiao's support, Xing'er is not afraid of Sun Damao at all now.

The usually arrogant elder was as obedient as a pug in front of the governor. Although Xing'er didn't know how big an official the governor was, he knew that this official could definitely control the elder Sun family.

"Sir Governor...!" Sun Damao was about to speak, but Li Xiao reached out to stop him.

"Mr. Sun, since he said that the person is in the backyard, let's go to the backyard and take a look. It will be clear what is right and what is wrong." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he patted Myolie's head, and Myolie obediently stood up and led the way.

Li Xiao followed behind, and Man Ye followed behind holding Sun Damao by the collar.

Sun Damao could no longer walk. In the past two days, Li Xiao's easy-going smile had made him accustomed to being a talkative official. But when the soldiers showed their ferocious fangs, it was already too late.

Xing'er led the way through several courtyards and stopped at the door of a woodshed in the corner of the manor. Xing'er pointed inside to indicate that his younger brothers and sisters were inside.

Several soldiers rushed over and opened the door with a pull on the left and right.

Inside were three men rubbing their necks, and next to the firewood pile were two tightly tied children. Their mouths were stuffed with cloth towels, and their little faces were full of tears. Seeing so many people coming outside, two children

The calf kept struggling.

Li Xiao glanced at the copper-leather pot and funnel on the ground. It was considered that everyone had gained the stolen goods. The guards took the copper-leather pot. When the guard was about to open his mouth to ask, he was kicked out by the guards and half of his teeth were knocked out.

I don't know when, Roast Chicken got next to Li Xiao and nodded to Li Xiao.

He knew that it was the roast chicken that knocked them unconscious, and he used the force very well. Just when he came in, these bastards woke up and turned around. Now everyone has the stolen goods, but we want to see what Sun Damao has to say.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think this means? Explain it!" Li Xiao pointed to the copper pot on the ground, the funnel and the two children.

"This...! It must be that He Zhu was thinking about my father's benefits during his lifetime, and secretly took the initiative to bury two children with my father. Governor, this matter really has nothing to do with the little old man! Please be careful!" Sun Damao is also smart!

, knowing that the matter could not be avoided, he simply pushed it to He Zhu, the head of the nursing home!

"Your name is He Zhu!" Li Xiao looked at a big man who was being pushed to the ground and rubbed by the guards.

"Yes! Sir, my name is He Zhu." Dahan's neck was stepped on by a guard, and a lot of dirt got into his mouth as soon as he spoke.

Li Xiao waved his hand, and the guard released his foot. Li Xiao used his foot to pull He Zhu's head: "Human sacrifice violates the Ming Law. According to the Ming Law, Ling Chi is sentenced to death privately, and the three tribes are punished! You boss He

If one person commits a crime, your whole family will be affected."

"What! Lingchi...!"

Li Xiao looked at He Zhu who looked confused and almost laughed out loud. This bastard didn't know what Ling Chi was.

"Ling Chi will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, you will be cut into pieces with thousands of cuts." In fact, Li Xiao doesn't know what the "laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulate. But this is a thousand cuts.

Damn, it would be good to use it to scare He Zhu.

"It's unfair! It's unfair, sir. These are all ordered by my master. I am just the head of the nursing home. He eats the meal of the master, so he naturally has to listen to his words. Master, please speak! These are all yours.

Ordered!" Hearing that he was going to be chopped into pieces, He Zhu immediately howled like a slaughtered pig.

The sweat on Sun Damao's face flowed like a stream, it was over! Now not only everyone has gained the stolen goods, but the main thug has also turned against the enemy.

"Sir, please forgive me. Please show me your kindness and help my Sun family pass this test. I will give you all the property of my Sun family. I just ask you to please show me your kindness." Sun Damao directly served meat dishes. His Sun family is also a well-known big family in this area.

His family owned thousands of hectares of fertile land and dozens of shops. With such a huge sum of money, Sun Damao didn't believe that Li Xiao wouldn't be tempted.

At this time, money is just an external possession. As long as the lives of the whole family can be saved, it is not impossible to make a comeback with the help of the youngest son in the capital.

"Hehe! Sun Damao, do you think that after killing your three clans, these properties will no longer be mine?" Li Xiao looked helplessly at Sun Damao who was kneeling on the ground, and he was still so stupid after living so long.

"Li Xiao! You...!" Sun Damao raised his head and looked at Li Xiao in horror.

"Governor! Governor! I will expose, I will expose! Please spare my life, Governor." Sun Damao was speechless, but his eldest son behind him knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

"Oh! What did you expose, what did you expose? If you have merit, I may consider giving you a lighter sentence."

"Thank you...! Thank you, Lord Governor. This doll was indeed bought for burial by my father. I tried hard to persuade him, but my father didn't listen. If my ancestor went underground and there was no one to take care of him, he would blame his descendants.

, affecting the fortune of my Sun family. So...!"

"Oh! I know all this, tell me something I don't know." Li Xiao impatiently interrupted the boss of the Sun family.

"Oh! By the way, my little brother wrote from Beijing. He said that when you pass by my house, I must stay with you for a few more days. It is best to miss the first seven days of King Lu. In this way, they can disrespect you in the capital.

I will impeach you on the charges of clan.

As soon as you left Jinan, someone came to report you. The family has made some preparations. Today's hunting is just to mobilize tenants from all over the country to go up to the mountains to catch wild animals and gather them together. In order to catch wild animals for you, two people died.

My father said it would be better if you were dead, so I can add another charge to you during the impeachment."

Hey! What a fucking windfall, no wonder Sun Damao treated him so warmly. Originally, Li Xiao was still thinking that Sun Damao had entertained him so warmly these past few days, but he was a little embarrassed to treat him like this. Now it seems that he has to kill him
Chapter completed!
