Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123
There was no follow-up on the matter between the Wang family and the Li family, as if this incident had never happened, Xiapi also returned to calm, there was no more incident of someone breaking into the door and killing people, Chu Nan continued to do his own business, and the few officials under his command Working very hard, Wei Xu's men and horses were dispatched on a regular basis to "resolve disputes" in the countryside. Even people with no nerves and slow reactions could sense the tension in Xiapi these two days.

However, nothing happened, and the calm made people feel a little depressed.

Chu Nan didn't plan to ask about the matter of Wo Niu Mountain for the time being. After all, it was beyond his scope of authority. He just wrote a letter to the prefect of Pengcheng to remind him that Chu Nan's energy was mainly concentrated on Xiapi.

"Chu County, according to the evidence collected these days, the third son of the Li family seized the family property, the prostitute, the victim has been found, and he is willing to testify in court." Master Zhou handed several volumes of files to Chu Nan. The surname is Li, but it is not in the same line as the dead master Li's family. It may have been two or 300 years ago, but it is not now.

Like the Wang family, the Li family is a large family in Xiapi, and their family background is similar, but the officials of the Li family are not in Xiapi, but in Xiapi.

It's not that all scholars have this kind of virtue, but there are dead branches on the tree. In the aristocratic family, there are always one or two dudes who are ignorant and incompetent, and they are easy to bully men and women.

In the past, the gentry's hands and eyes were open to the sky, and everyone's interests were related. This kind of thing usually passed with one eye closed, but now that Chu Nan is in power, and has already grasped the initiative, when he is ready to deal with these big families , these things are fatal.

It's a pity that most of the time, no one will pursue this. This is the tragedy of living at the bottom. An unimportant chess piece at the top may directly destroy a family, and generally there is no chance of desperately fighting.

"Go ahead and arrest people directly." When Chu Nan was not an official, this kind of thing was commonplace, but he didn't have much indignation. Some people would feel uncomfortable when he said it, but if it was him, he would If these things happen to these people below, they will be dealt with lightly, and it is difficult to be impartial.

Officials protect each other not only because of interests, but also such nonsense things as closeness and closeness. It is difficult to truly experience the emotions of strangers. This is reality.

"Here!" The master left excitedly, now it's time to focus on suppressing these big clans in Xiapi.

Chu Nan didn't feel any excitement. Is this justice?Obviously not, it's just a change of power, the old ones will be defeated, and the new rich will go up. He doesn't want the justice in his heart to start to be dusted, but he has to accept the reality.

There was no twists and turns in arresting people, the evidence is conclusive, and the Li family is now fearful of Chu Nan because of the matter of the Wang family, and they have no guts to directly confront Chu Nan, so they can only let Chu Nan arrest their son, secretly rejoicing in their hearts On weekdays, the family education is very strict, and there is only such a prodigal thing.

However, Chu Nan's arrest was obviously not just to deal with a playboy.

Seeing that the prodigal son who hadn't figured out the situation until now was still threatening the sufferer with harsh words in front of him, Chu Nan wanted to laugh a little. It would be great if his opponents had this kind of IQ.

It's a pity that, not to mention Cao Cao, Chen Deng, and Li's family, there is no one who is really in charge. In fact, Chu Nan thought about it and changed places. They should run away, but the reality is...the family business In Xiapi, if you run, you have to hurt your muscles and bones. When threats are lurking in invisible places, it is always difficult for people to make a trade-off between interests and threats. When threats can be seen with a single light, it is often too late. .

"The evidence is convincing, and he has been verified. Pull it down, and ask to be executed tomorrow!" Chu Nan wasted too much time talking with the other party. Regarding the things the other party has done, killing him ten times is not enough. The reason why he chose tomorrow is because The other side had some hope, and both of them were because Chu Nan needed to get more useful information from the other side, so as to deal with the Li family.

The other party returned to the rules of the game, and Chu Nan was not prepared to use insidious tricks. It was enough to let the other party know that he could also have no bottom line. If the problem could be solved openly, it would be impossible to use insidious methods.

Playboys may not be stupid, but facing someone like Chu Nan who can read minds and has an online IQ, his rank is far behind. Soon Chu Nan pried his mouth open, and then this trash has no use value. He sent someone to take it out and chopped it up directly to resolve public grievances.

There are only two things that Chu Nan wants, one is land, and the other is private possession of population.

The first one is easy to understand, it is to ask the other party to take the land that does not belong to you, just return it back, and the ultimate move is in the second one.

Early the next morning, Chu Nan asked Wei Yue to arrest the whole Li family and ransack the house.

"Chu county magistrate, what crime have I committed!?" When the head of the Li family saw Chu Nan, he was quite calm, but he was still a little panicked. He hoped that Chu Nan would continue to follow the rules. He doesn't know what will happen in the future, but he can't even pass the current test. How unlucky Chu Nan will be in the future, what does it have to do with him?

"Pursuing the official land, hiding the population, intending to rebel." Chu Nan explained the other party's crimes concisely.

"This... when did I intend to rebel!?" The Patriarch of the Li family couldn't keep his composure, and everything else was fine. At worst, he thought he was unlucky, but intentional rebellion is not a joke. It's out of control, but Lu Bu can, and if he rebels here, it must be Lu Bu's rebellion.

In fact, hiding and concealing the population is not a big deal, it is just to reduce taxes. Before Mi Zhu supported Liu Bei, the tens of thousands of children were not created out of thin air. This has almost become an unwritten rule.

But you are afraid to get to the bottom of everything. What do you want to do by hiding thousands or even tens of thousands of people?I have reason to suspect that you intend to conspire against us.

Generally, county magistrates would not do this. First, they have no background. Second, they may not be able to leave alive even if they offend the family, or they may suddenly die suddenly.

But Chu Nan is obviously not an ordinary county magistrate, he is in the third class, he has money and someone has a backer, if he wants to get you, then you are conspiring to rebel.

"According to your son's statement, there are 8000 servants in your family, but there are only less than [-] on the list. If it wasn't for intentional rebellion, why are there so many people?" Chu Nan threw his dead son's confession letter to him, and said with a sneer : "[-] people can attack the city directly, and you still say it's not a rebellion!?"

"I..." Patriarch Li was very anxious, and gritted his teeth: "Chu county magistrate, I am willing to donate my family wealth, and I am willing to follow the example of Chu county magistrate, and beg Chu county magistrate to show his noble hand and spare my family's life!"

Unspoken rules are just a consensus among everyone. No one will take the initiative to put them on the table. Even if everyone knows it, they must not put it on the table. Torn face.

And this is exactly the situation now, and what's even more sad is that they can't fight back. In terms of fighting, the Xuzhou gentry may not be enough to fight against Lu Bu if they are tied together.

If you can't afford it, if you don't want to die, then you can only admit it.

"You are also a highly respected person, don't you understand? From the moment you and I set out our chariots and horses, there is only one loser left." Chu Nan patted Patriarch Li on the shoulder and said: "I need Not only your wealth, but also your head."

Patriarch Li looked at Chu Nan with a pale face, and begged, "Magistrate Chu, I am really willing to assist Marquis Wen... No, assist my lord, I beg the magistrate of Chu to forgive me."

[Don't let me find a chance, when the time comes, your life will be worse than death, I will tear you to pieces, and let people insult your wife in front of you! 】

A cold light flashed in Chu Nan's eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Zhu Clan, confiscate his family property!"

"Here!" Wei Yue agreed, and two county guards stepped forward, dragging the struggling Patriarch of the Li family out.

"Chu Ziyan, you're going to die!" Patriarch Li's wailing wailed continuously from afar.

"Make a list of all the crimes committed by the Li family, no matter how big or small, and post them in every conspicuous place in the city. People will read them for three days, and ask the sufferers to come out and explain to everyone." Chu Nan said lightly.

Not only will his family be destroyed, but his name will also be destroyed. It is uncertain whether he will be infamous for thousands of years. The history books are not long. To vent my anger, and secondly, to vent public grievances!
Although the common people are dull, they can understand things after the truth is revealed, and there will always be people who have resentment towards the family's exploitation.

This is the same as the severe punishment of corrupt officials in later generations. People may not get benefits, but they will feel happy when they see those who were once high above being pulled down. This is also human nature.

"Here!" The master secretary agreed, turned around and went to prepare.

The matter of the Li family has come to an end. It only took two days before and after, and it seems to be ruined, but for these two days, Chu Nan has been planning for more than three months. Now it is time to close the net, but it is obviously not enough for the Li family.

"Has Madam ever come back?" Chu Nan summoned Wei Xu after finishing business, and asked.

Lu Lingqi followed the chamber of commerce and didn't say where she was going, but Chu Nan could probably guess that with his wife's ability, he could easily deal with a group of bandits, but it was a lie to say that he was not worried, even though he had promised his wife to continue Fighting, but how can you really feel at ease.

"Don't worry, my lord, Xue Nian has sent someone to send the news. The young master has successfully wiped out the bandits, but he is only taking the prisoners with him, so he can't go fast, and he will be back tomorrow at the latest." Wei Xu said with a smile.

"That's good." Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction. Is it reassuring for his wife to make a move? He continued to read the file and said, "The three major families in Xiapi except the Chen family, now the Li family and the Wang family are gone. , the rest of the Tao family... Let's see if he is on the way!"

If you don't leave at this time, you are really stupid. There is no room for idiots in Chu Nan's game of chess.
