Chapter 204 Your Excellency, May You Take a Look at the Head 【Order】
Chapter 204 Your Excellency May May Look Back 【Order】
Yan Kai obviously didn't expect Lin Pingzhi to turn his head back suddenly, but Yan Kai is worthy of being an old fox who has lived for decades, and his face-changing skills are still top-notch.
In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on Yan Kai's face, as if the hatred shown on his face just now was an illusion.
Lin Pingzhi felt as if his eyes were dazzled. The change in Yan Kai's face made Lin Pingzhi feel confused, but he remembered it in his heart. He glanced at Yan Kai and said, "Magistrate Yan , remember to recruit more civilian husbands..."
Yan Kai showed some doubts, nodded slightly and said: "I know."
Watching Lin Pingzhi and the others leave until he could no longer see Lin Pingzhi and others, Yan Kai said coldly: "Tang Ren, tell me, Li Huan asked me to recruit civilian husbands to collect the corpses. Is it necessary?"
Tang Ren said suspiciously: "Accordingly, there are only dozens of students in the county school, and it is enough for the government officials to go there. The younger ones don't understand what Li Huan asked you to recruit civilian husbands for."
Taking a deep breath, Yan Kai said: "Follow me to the county government office. Since Li Huan wants to see me, then I will give him a surprise."
Tang Ren opened his mouth, but seeing the crazy look in Yan Kai's eyes, and thinking about what Yan Lu's death meant to Yan Kai, Tang Ren couldn't help swallowing his words.
Riding on the horse, Lin Pingzhi frowned while heading towards the Xie Mansion, thinking about the change in Yan Kai's expression after he saw Yan Kai.
Although Lin Pingzhi is not a person who is good at observing words and expressions, it doesn't mean that he can't understand anything.
There was clearly something wrong with Yan Kai's various abnormalities, but Lin Pingzhi couldn't figure it out for a moment.
With such doubts, Lin Pingzhi rushed towards Xie's mansion at a very fast speed.
But Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others rushed to the city gate immediately after Lu Qing led the imperial soldiers and horses past.
I thought they could easily pass through the city gate in their identities. After all, those old soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop them.
It's just that before he got close to the city gate, he saw a group of soldiers in armor guarding the gate from a distance. As for the old soldiers who guarded the gate in the past, they couldn't see them at all.
Seeing the heavily guarded appearance of the city gate clearly through the raised curtain on the carriage, Qiao Songnian's heart tightened, and his complexion became a little dignified.
Those in charge of driving the carriages were all Qiao's confidantes, and when they saw the soldiers guarding the city gate from a distance, their expressions changed.
The clothes and demeanor of these soldiers were exactly the same as the group of elite soldiers and horses they had seen just now, so they knew without thinking that these people must be with the previous group of soldiers and horses.
When did such a troop come to the city, and even closed the city gate.
A steward stepped forward first and walked towards the soldiers.
Meng Yang was the leader of this group of soldiers. He led more than 50 elite soldiers and was responsible for guarding the city gates to prevent anyone from leaving the city.
It can be said that Meng Yang's order is that no one is allowed to leave Yuyao County at this time. After such a short period of time, he has persuaded many people who wanted to leave.
Although it was a bit cumbersome, Meng Yang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
As a low-ranking officer of Tengxiang Zuowei, Meng Yang knew very well that if things were done well this time, their benefits would definitely be indispensable after returning.
But if you mess up the errand, you really think Li Huan is so easy to talk to.So Meng Yang was very dedicated to his duty and sat in charge in person.
When Meng Yang saw a group of carriages approaching the city gate from afar, Meng Yang couldn't help frowning.
Just looking at the size of the convoy, one can tell that the status of the people on the carriage must be unusual. If this is placed in the capital, they must be dignitaries that they cannot afford to provoke.
It's a pity that in this county town, Meng Yang doesn't worry about anything, no matter what, at most it's just a local tyrant, he really isn't afraid of the other party.
A steward of Qiao's family stepped forward and immediately recognized Meng Yang's unusual status among these soldiers. It was closed all of a sudden, my master is going out of the city, and please ask the military master to be flexible."
As he spoke, the steward stuffed a silver ingot weighing twelve taels into Meng Yang's hand.
Ten taels of silver ingots, this is not a small amount, it can be said that the steward's move is quite generous. Generally speaking, with so much silver, the soldiers will definitely be lenient.
The manager looked at Meng Yang with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Meng Yang to nod and say yes.
However, Meng Yang glanced at the steward and put away the silver ingot. The steward was overjoyed when he saw this, but the next moment, Meng Yang shook his head with a cold face and said, "Get lost, I didn't see the city gate." Has it been sealed off, tell your master to go back to the mansion. You can leave Yuyao County if you want to, and leave when the city gate opens."
The manager never thought that Meng Yang would take the money and not do anything, and he was so rude, the smile on his face froze all of a sudden, and he looked at Meng Yang in disbelief.
Meng Yang took the money and did not do anything. He still felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he had a sullen face. Seeing that the steward was still standing there, he immediately shouted angrily: "Why, didn't you understand me?"
The steward came back to his senses, was startled by Meng Yang, turned around quickly and ran over with the carriage.
Qiao Songnian watched from a distance. Although he couldn't hear the conversation between the steward and Meng Yang clearly from a distance, he could clearly hear Meng Yang's roll at the end.
When Qiao Songnian heard the scrolling words, his heart skipped a beat, realizing that it might not be so easy to leave the city today.
Sure enough, the steward soon ran over with frustration and anger, and said to Qiao Songnian: "Master, I'm so incompetent, the officer took the money and didn't do anything. He said the gate of the city has been blocked, let us go back to the mansion." Go, if you want to leave the city, then wait until the city gate opens."
At this moment Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, and Mao Shang also got out of the carriage and came over.
Just when they heard the steward's words, the complexions of several people suddenly became gloomy, and they glanced at the guards at the gate of the city from a distance.
Xing Tai frowned and said to Qiao Songnian: "Brother Qiao, the situation is not good. If I were Li Huan, I would soon investigate and arrest the person who promoted the civil uprising behind the scenes. There is not much time left for us." That's a lot."
After seeing the elite troops led by Lu Qing, in fact, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and the others no longer had much hope for their arrangement of rioters to attack Li Huan and others, and only hoped that they could get enough money for them. Time for them to get away.
As long as they can escape from Yuyao County, even Jin Yiwei will never be able to find them.
But the current situation is that they can't even get out of Yuyao County, and now they are really trapped in the city.
Just like what Xing Tai said, once Li Huan tortured them and found out that they were the mastermind behind the scenes, those who arrested them would probably come soon.
In fact, Xing Tai and the others didn't know at all that Li Huan had already taken their local power into consideration from the very beginning, and even dug a hole for them to jump in by themselves.
Li Huan didn't even need to torture him, because some of Xing Tai's little actions were under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.
Qiao Songnian frowned, eyes full of exhaustion, looked at the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate ahead, and suddenly said viciously: "Since they blocked the city gate, let's rush out."
As Qiao Songnian looked up at Xing Tai and the others, he said, "Everyone, don't forget that we have no way out. Now we have to fight to the death and go out of the city, so as to have a chance of survival. Otherwise, everyone who is trapped In the city, sooner or later Li Huan will catch him."
Xing Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Then give it a go, if Li Huan doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will fight for a way to survive ourselves."
Xing Tai turned his attention to Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and others.
At this moment, Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and the others also nodded at Xing Tai without hesitation and said in unison: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, so just say what you want to do."
Qiao Songnian said viciously: "Gather the servants of each family, and then the big guys will kill and scatter the soldiers guarding the city, open the city gate, and escape from the city."
Cao Zhen and Mao Shang were obviously prepared, so when they heard Qiao Songnian say such words, they didn't show any surprise on their faces.
Even Cao Zhendang nodded and said: "Okay, all the servants of my Cao family can be sent out."
Mao Shangdao: "There is also my Mao family. Isn't it just dozens of soldiers, not as many as any of our families. With so many of us, is there nothing we can do with these dozens of soldiers?"
Listening to Mao Shang's words, everyone looked at the group of soldiers blocking their way, and there was no panic and fear in their eyes, but a bit of murderous intent.
Several people looked at each other, then returned, and then arranged for the servants of each family to prepare to attack the city defenders.
It only took a while, and several families of about two or three hundred servants were ready.
These servants are the confidantes of each family who gave birth to children, and it can be said that the same master's family is both prosperous and hurt, and even if they are desperate for the safety of the master's family, few people will frown.
When so many strong and strong family members gathered faintly and tended to approach them, Meng Yang, who was guarding the city, and his soldiers were not blind, so how could they not detect something wrong with so many people.
Meng Yang took a look at the servants who gathered together, his expression became concentrated immediately, and he said to his subordinates in a deep voice: "Be careful, these people are not right."
As an elite in the army, they still have this sense of vigilance, even without Meng Yang's order, many soldiers subconsciously clenched their weapons and looked at the servants in the distance with full alertness.
Meng Yang took a step forward, his eyes sparkling, and he shouted loudly: "The city gate is the most important place, and the idlers should stay away. This official has already said that the city gate will not be opened today, and you should leave quickly."
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to stay here after being scolded by officers and soldiers like this.
But when Meng Yang finished speaking, Qiao Songnian yelled, "Let's all charge and go out of the city. My master will give you a lot of rewards!"
Qiao Songnian's yell was like a signal, and hundreds of servants and servants rushed towards the gate of the city.
"Kill!"
Many servants directly took out the hidden weapons, including daggers, waist knives, and even short sticks, while some servants without weapons took down sticks from far away stalls that were frightened to the point where no one was there, and then looked fanatical. He rushed towards Meng Yang and other soldiers guarding the gate of the city.
When Meng Yang saw this situation, his complexion changed immediately, and he shouted at one of his subordinates: "You should inform your lord immediately, there are rebels who intend to snatch the city gate and escape from the city."
Hearing the words, the fierce soldier nodded immediately, then got on his horse, and then galloped towards the servants.
Seeing this, these servants were subconsciously stunned for a moment, and when they reacted and wanted to stop them, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.
More than a dozen arrows fell, killing several people on the spot, and several people wailed terribly after being hit by the arrows.
Although these servants can be regarded as strong and strong, and there are even a few guards who can barely be regarded as third-rate experts, they are all ordinary people after all.
Many people may have never experienced such a life-and-death scene in their entire lives, so when a companion around them died so alive in front of them, many people were shocked at the time.
This is also the most normal reaction of many normal people.
It was also the skill of these people who were stunned, that one galloping horse directly smashed into several servants blocking the front, and then swung a knife to kill a few unlucky ghosts, killing the team of these servants in a daze. , gallop away.
It wasn't until this time that Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others who saw this scene reacted.
They didn't know what that fierce soldier was going to do when he rushed out. It was obvious that he was going to ask for help.
There are only dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate, and they are still somewhat sure to rush out, but if these soldiers really come to help, just relying on the servants and servants kept by each of their families, to be honest, they are really good. There is no hope of being able to rush out.
Speaking of which, they are just tyrants entrenched in the inland, not like those sea merchants who have maritime trade at home in the southeast coast.
You must know that those sea merchants are really fierce. All the servants and servants at home have seen blood, and they have fought life and death with pirates, Japanese pirates and even their colleagues at sea.
The servants kept in the homes of many maritime merchants are even more capable than the officers and soldiers.
If the Qiao family and the Xing family are the kind of sea merchants who smuggle sea trade, let alone a combination of several families, I am afraid that any servants of any family can break through the defense of dozens of officers and soldiers like Meng Yang. The gate of the city, rushed out of the city early.
Looking at the soldiers in the army whose figures had gradually disappeared, Qiao Songnian and Xing Tai looked at each other, and Qiao Songnian shouted: "Let everyone charge as hard as they can, and don't delay for a moment, otherwise , Big Guys, no one should try to escape today."
Speaking of which, Qiao Songnian went forward in person and shouted at the servants who were suppressed: "Listen up, everyone, but if you can go out of the city today, my master promises that each of you will give us three acres of good land, ten Two lines of silver."
For example, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also generally made promises to their servants, and also took out fertile land and silver taels.
And Qiao Songnian looked at Meng Yang and the others who blocked their way, gritted his teeth and said, "Anyone who can kill one of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded with an additional 50 taels of silver, and those who kill two will be rewarded with [-] taels of silver, with no upper limit." .”
There are only more than 50 soldiers in the area, and the most they can spend is less than 3000 taels of silver. Compared with their families, which one is not worth tens of thousands of taels, it is really nothing to spend such a small reward.
For people like Qiao Songnian and Xing Tai, 50 taels of silver per person was really not much, but for these servants, 50 taels of silver was simply an astronomical figure.
All of a sudden, many people became short of breath, and their gazes towards Meng Yang and the others were full of madness and excitement.
It is a greedy desire, stimulated by money, even an honest person will become a madman.
Moreover, the rewards offered by Qiao Songnian and the others are too tempting. Whether it is land or rewards, they are the things that these servants desire most in their lives. Originally, they had no hope in their entire lives, but now they are within reach. .
In an instant, all the servants rushed towards Meng Yang and the others with red eyes. As for the psychological impact brought to them by the death of their previous companion, how could it be worth Qiao Songnian's promise of reward.
Naturally, the faces of Meng Yang and the others changed greatly, but seeing the crowd rushing forward, Meng Yang roared with a vicious voice: "Brothers, kill me, your lord's reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive, We won."
Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others shouted loudly from behind: "Kill them all, I will reward you for killing me!"
Especially when Qiao Songnian stood directly on top of a carriage and shouted loudly.
All of a sudden, the morale of those servants was high.
However, at this moment, an arrow pierced through the air and hit Qiao Songnian's head. The arrow sank into the back of Qiao Songnian's head and went out directly from his mouth.
A look of disbelief appeared on Qiao Songnian's face, and then the corpse fell directly from the carriage with a thud.
Just as he was climbing onto the roof of the carriage imitatively, Cao Zhen felt a burst of piercing sound before he could open his mouth just as he stood firm, followed by a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, an arrow had shot pierced through the chest.
Moreover, Cao Zhen also saw the scene where Qiao Songnian fell directly from the carriage with his head pierced by an arrow.
"how so!"
Infinite unwillingness and doubts flashed in his heart, and Cao Zhen's figure also fell from the carriage.
Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen were killed on the spot by the intruding arrows. Not only Xing Tai, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang were dumbfounded, but also those who were encouraged by Qiao Songnian's morale The servants and servants who rushed to the army also noticed this scene.
Almost half of the servants were confused by this turn of events.
My master died like this, so should they continue to rush?And who killed his master.
As soon as such a thought came into my mind, I saw dozens of horses coming, all of them were Jinyi guards in brocade clothes. These brocade guards held strong crossbows in their hands and embroidered spring knives on their waists. The color of Chen Yao.
"Hahaha, my lord did not make a mistake. You people must have thought of going out of the city because the opportunity was not good. It's a coincidence that you came earlier. Brothers, let me kill you. Don't let the brothers of Tengxiang Zuowei see our news." joke."
A group of Jinyi guards pulled their crossbows, and with the sound of piercing through the air, dozens of servants and servants fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers of Tengxiang Zuowei, such as Meng Yang, who were trying to resist the attack of these servants at the gate of the city, were immediately refreshed when they saw this situation.
This is reinforcements. Although they are not their own brothers, the members of Jin Yiwei are also reinforcements.
Meng Yang laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, brothers, did you hear that, the brothers of Jin Yiwei are here, and they are all putting on a desperate posture for me, don't let people underestimate us."
Originally, it was quite difficult for these servants and servants to attack the army formation. If there was no external interference, they might pay a heavy price to break up the army formation and kill a way out.
However, following Chen Yao's order to arrive with Jin Yiwei, he shot and killed Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen, which was equivalent to giving these servants a blow in the head, and almost knocked them into a daze.
And with the addition of Jin Yiwei, under the front and rear attacks, the servants and servants have never suffered such a scene and impact, they collapsed immediately.
What kind of rewards, what kind of fertile land, they have to be taken by fate.
Previously, seeing how powerful his family was, coupled with the temptation of rewarding money, he took a gamble, as long as he wasn't the one who died.
But the situation is different now, fools can see that with the arrival of Jin Yiwei, they have no hope at all, and they will be fools if they try their best now.
"Escape!"
Someone shouted and fled in all directions. As for the relatives of the Cao family, the Xing family, and the Qiao family who were still in the carriage, who has the time to take care of them at this moment.I don't know if I can survive.
Seeing this scene, Xing Tai and Mao Shang couldn't help but look desperate.
Zheng Buer let out a long sigh: "It's over, it's over!"
huh, huh, huh
There was another burst of arrows, and the servants who turned around and fled fell down.
Meng Yang and the others only chased them more than a dozen feet away, then took the initiative to retreat, and continued to guard the city gates to prevent accidents, while Chen Yao led Jin Yiwei to chase and kill these servants.
Soon, except for a very small number of servants and servants who hid, the rest were all killed by Chen Yao.
When Chen Yao brought people under control of Xing Tai, Mao Shang, Zheng Bu'er and their families, Meng Yang brought a few of his men to thank Chen Yao.
"Thank you brother for arriving in time, otherwise, we might not be able to withstand the impact of so many people."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, thank my lord. If my lord hadn't sent us here as soon as we solved those rioters, we wouldn't have arrived in such a timely manner."
As he said that, Chen Yao cupped his hands at Meng Yang and said, "Brother, Chen is going to take these people to report to the Lord."
Meng Yang also bowed his hands to Chen Yao.
Here, Li Huan handed over a list to Lu Qing and said, "Commander Lu, this is the home of several powerful men in Yuyao who participated in the rebellion this time. You immediately send a part of your troops to raid the house along with Jin Yiwei's men."
Although it is said that the Jinyiwei brought by Li Huan has been used to the limit by him, but the Jinyiwei who spread out to stare at several companies still sent back news, letting Li Huan know that Xing Tai, Mao Shang and others saw the situation in a bad way. The core members of the family are ready to leave the city.
This is also the reason why Li Huan was able to send Chen Yao to surround and kill Xing Tai and others in time.
Hearing this, Lu Qing took the list, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the governor, the general will definitely take everyone down."
Li Huan smiled and said, "I trust Commander Lu."
Soon Lu Qing recruited several confidant generals under his command, and gave some orders. After a while, several teams left with a dozen Jinyiwei.
There are soldiers from Tengxiang Zuowei who arrest people, and people from Jinyiwei who raid their homes are watching. Even if there are soldiers whose hands and feet may be dirty at that time, it is inevitable that the small ones will come and go, but there are people from Jinyiwei. Don't worry about anything major going wrong.
Of course, the more important thing is that compared to the Xie family, the Xing family and the Mao family are just general local tycoons, unlike those large merchants in the southeast coastal areas who are all well-off, who can confiscate dozens of them at will. Millions of taels of gold and silver came out.
As for the Xing family and the Mao family, in Li Huan's opinion, it is not bad that each family can confiscate tens of thousands of taels of silver.
There was a sound of horseshoes, Li Huan, Lu Qing and others looked up, and saw Lin Pingzhi rushing over with a few Jinyi guards.
Getting off his horse, Lin Pingzhi turned to Li Huan and said, "My lord, I have found the magistrate of Yuyao County, and my subordinates have told him my lord's order."
Li Huan nodded slightly, glanced at Lin Pingzhi, and noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Pingzhi's expression, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Pingzhi, seeing the hesitation on your face, is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath, nodded, and then told Li Huan in detail about all the abnormalities of Yuyao County Magistrate that he had met with.
Lu Qing on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said with great certainty: "There is definitely something wrong with the magistrate of Yuyao County. A county magistrate like him is arrogant and ruthless. He never cares about our rank. How could he We have a smiling face, but anyone who greets us with a smiling face must have bad intentions."
Although Lu Qing's words are a bit absolute, they also represent the normal state of this era.
Although it is not as serious as in the late Ming Dynasty, civil servants look down on military generals, but it is not as simple as a sign. It can be said that civil servants look down on military generals. It is quite a common phenomenon.
It can be said that if a civil servant meets a general according to rank, he will definitely be ridiculed by his colleagues.
It is quite normal for the seventh-rank county magistrate to look down on the fifth-rank Qianhu official.
Li Huan looked at Lin Pingzhi thoughtfully: "You said that the other party seems to be hostile to us or even murderous?"
Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Unless I feel wrong."
Li Huan said to a general banner of Jin Yiwei beside him: "Bring Xie Di!"
As the local leader of Yuyao County, the Xie family may not be clear to others about Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao County, but Xie Di, one of the principals of the Xie family, definitely knows everything about it.
Soon Xie Di was brought over.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Di and said, "Xie Di, do you have anything to say about Yuyao county magistrate, Yan Kai?"
At this time, Xie Di obviously already belonged to the kind of mentality of breaking the jar, and even the family's treasure house was honestly explained. At this moment, Li Huan was just asking about Yan Kai, the county magistrate of Yuyao. He knows everything.
Although he was puzzled, Xie Di still replied: "My lord, Yan Kai has no ambitions. Most of the affairs in the county government are handled by the subordinates in the government office, while he mostly hides in his mansion." Pleasure, although it does not harm the common people very much, it definitely belongs to corrupt officials."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Then why do you think he has murderous intentions towards Jin Yiwei?"
Xie Di was stunned for a moment, with a pensive look on his face, but soon Xie Di seemed to think of something, and gave Li Huan and the others a strange look.
Noticing the change in Xie Di's expression, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but said: "Quickly tell me, what's going on, when I saw Yan Kai, I always felt that he looked at me in the wrong way, full of hostility and murderous intent."
Xie Di glanced at Lin Pingzhi and the others and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yan Kai must have known the news that you killed his only son."
Li Huan and Lin Pingzhi were puzzled when they heard the words. When did they kill the county magistrate's son?
Xie Di said slowly: "Yan Kai has only one son under his knees, such a single seedling can be regarded as a lifeblood, and he will be sent to the county school..."
"County school!"
After hearing Xie Di's words, no matter it was Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi, or some Jin Yiwei nearby, all had strange expressions on their faces.
They killed dozens of county school students before. Could it be that Yan Kai, the county magistrate's son, was among them? If so, then everything can be explained.
It was precisely because they killed Yan Kai's only son that Yan Kai hated Jin Yiwei so much that he harbored murderous intentions.
Xie Di saw the expressions of Li Huan and the others in his eyes and said: "Then Yan Kai's death of his son is equivalent to the death of his queen. In my opinion, he will not let it go so easily."
Seeing the mocking look in Xie Di's eyes, Li Huan glanced at Xie Di lightly, and ordered someone to take Xie Di down.
Li Huan glanced at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Pingzhi, in your opinion, what should we do with Yan Kai?"
Lin Pingzhi said without hesitation: "Naturally, I will kill him to avoid future troubles."
Speaking of Lin Pingzhi: "We killed the only son of the family. After the death of the family, the hatred will become serious. Besides, Xie Di also said just now that Yan Kai is not a good official. Even if he is killed, it is not wronged him."
Speaking of Lin Pingyi, he looked at Li Huan with an eager look, as if he wanted to plead for his life.
But at this moment, there was a loud commotion in the distance, which immediately attracted Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi, and Lu Qing to follow the sound and look over.
So many people have died here, it can be said that the ground is full of corpses, the people around have long been frightened and closed their doors tightly, not daring to take a step out of the door, the whole street is quiet, like a ghost.
Someone came over at this moment, obviously not an ordinary person.
"Hey, isn't this Yan Kai? How did he come so fast?"
When Lin Pingzhi saw the group of people in the distance, his eyes fell on the leader, and he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance.
Li Huan also saw clearly the Qipin county magistrate's uniform worn by the visitor. In this Yuyao county, the only one who could wear the Qipin county magistrate's uniform was Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao.
Even Li Huan has become somewhat interested in Yan Kai. The other party is supposed to go to recruit civilian husbands at this moment, but considering that the other party's son died and he hated them so much in his heart, then appearing in Yan Kai now Here, it's not too strange, maybe they are here for revenge.
It was Yan Kai who came, and the 30 people who followed Yan Kai were all his servants, plus the housekeeper Tang Ren, a group of 30 people were pushing several carts, which were filled with a The fine wine on the altar creaked towards Li Huan and the others.
Yan Kai, who was the leader, walked into the long street and saw the corpses on the long street at a glance. Yan Kai was startled when he saw these corpses for the first time, with a look of horror on his face.
He thought that Li Huan asked him to summon servants to collect the corpses of dozens of students from the county school, but when he saw the countless corpses on the long street, Yan Kai immediately understood why Li Huan wanted him The people are summoned.
How could dozens of county school students need to summon civilian husbands, but why are there so many corpses of ordinary people here.
While horrified in his heart, Yan Kai had only one opinion of Li Huan, that is a murderous butcher.
Those are all ordinary people, even if he, the parent officer, said that he killed a few people, it would be fine, but if there were too many people, they would lose their heads.
But Li Huan killed hundreds of thousands of people.
A lunatic, a butcher, a murderer, Yan Kai thought of his son who was also killed by Li Huan, and the hatred in his heart was drawn out by these corpses.
I don't know where my son's corpse is at the moment, is it like the corpses of these common people, just thrown in the corner so casually, there is no one to collect the corpse.
Relying on the hatred in his heart, Yan Kai managed not to be frightened by these corpses, but all the servants including Tang Ren were so frightened that their legs became weak, and even the car almost couldn't support it. .
Yan Kai noticed the fear on the faces of these servants, snorted coldly, then gave Tang Ren a hard look, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Huan and the others in the direction of Xie's residence from a distance.
Gathering his mind, Yan Kai winked at Tang Ren, with a smile on his face, and strode towards Li Huan and the others.
Stepping past the corpses one after another, Yan Kai seemed to have not seen those miserable corpses on the ground, as if he only had Li Huan and others in his eyes.
From the moment they saw Yan Kai, Li Huan and the others were sizing up Yan Kai.
Yan Kai's appearance is not bad, he wears an official suit, but he is a bit imposing, at first glance he really looks like a competent official.
With a distance of tens of feet, it is said that ordinary people can't clearly see the expression change on a person's face dozens of meters away, but if others can't see it, it doesn't mean that Li Huan can't see it.
Li Huan's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and the texture of leaves tens of feet away can be clearly seen, not to mention the change of expression on Yan Kai's face.
Seeing Yan Kai approaching with a smile on his face, Li Huan said with a light smile: "There is indeed something wrong with Yan Kai. You see, if he is a county magistrate, if he sees so many corpses suddenly appearing under his rule, It will definitely be extremely shocking, but apart from a smile on this person's face, there is no shock or anger at all."
Lin Pingzhi said: "My lord, do you want me to take it down?"
Li Huan glanced over the carts in the distance that were struggling to move forward because of the bodies all over the ground, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "No hurry."
While speaking, Yan Kai had already walked over, and the smile on his face became more and more clearly visible.
But if you observe carefully, you can notice a gloomy murderous intent flashing through the depths of Yan Kai's eyes when he saw Li Huan clearly.
Yan Kai stepped forward, bowed to Li Huan with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Kai, magistrate of Yuyao County, pays homage to Your Majesty the Grand Tutor."
Just looking at Yan Kai's reaction, you can be as respectful as you want. If you don't know the details of the other party, you will really be confused by his humble attitude.
Li Huan looked at Yan Kai condescendingly, and suddenly said: "Magistrate Yan, are you convicted?"
Yan Kai couldn't help being taken aback, his complexion changed slightly, subconsciously thinking whether his son's identity had already been known by Li Huan.
Just as Yan Kai was secretly guessing, Li Huan's voice rang in his ears and said, "I heard that County Magistrate Yan has a son named Yan Lu who is studying in the county school..."
Yan Kai reacted immediately, and when Li Huan mentioned his son's name, it was obvious that Li Huan had already checked his details.
Immediately, Yan Kai raised his head to look at Li Huan, just in time to see Li Huan looking at him indifferently, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
Now that he has been seen through, Yan Kai is no longer pretending, and immediately roared at Li Huan with hatred on his face: "Butcher, you butcher, my son is so innocent, you actually killed them, Luer is my only son!" Ah. You want me, Yan Kai, to die from now on..."
Li Huan glanced at Yan Kai indifferently and said: "If I hadn't wronged your son, your son would have robbed civilian women, even killed husbands, and taken away wives more than once. A scum like him, Killing is what you deserve."
Since Yan Kai knew that Li Huan already knew that Yan Lu was his son, it would not be difficult for him to find out the crimes committed by his son with Jin Yiwei's ability.
Yan Kai didn't argue either, but just looked at Li Huan bitterly and said: "Li Huan, if you kill my own son and cut off my heir, even if I die, I will drag you with me."
Li Huan pointed disdainfully at the wine jars on the carts in the distance and said: "If you expect the things you brought, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment and confusion on his face, as if he didn't understand why Li Huan knew about his support.
One must know that only Tang Ren and a few other servants knew about his plan, and any one of them was an old man who had been with him for more than 20 or [-] years, so he could definitely believe it.
But at this moment Li Huan said to Yan Kai with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Yan might as well look back."
Hearing Li Huan's words, Yan Kai didn't know why he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he turned his head and looked behind him immediately.

(End of this chapter)
Yan Kai obviously didn't expect Lin Pingzhi to turn his head back suddenly, but Yan Kai is worthy of being an old fox who has lived for decades, and his face-changing skills are still top-notch.
In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on Yan Kai's face, as if the hatred shown on his face just now was an illusion.
Lin Pingzhi felt as if his eyes were dazzled. The change in Yan Kai's face made Lin Pingzhi feel confused, but he remembered it in his heart. He glanced at Yan Kai and said, "Magistrate Yan , remember to recruit more civilian husbands..."
Yan Kai showed some doubts, nodded slightly and said: "I know."
Watching Lin Pingzhi and the others leave until he could no longer see Lin Pingzhi and others, Yan Kai said coldly: "Tang Ren, tell me, Li Huan asked me to recruit civilian husbands to collect the corpses. Is it necessary?"
Tang Ren said suspiciously: "Accordingly, there are only dozens of students in the county school, and it is enough for the government officials to go there. The younger ones don't understand what Li Huan asked you to recruit civilian husbands for."
Taking a deep breath, Yan Kai said: "Follow me to the county government office. Since Li Huan wants to see me, then I will give him a surprise."
Tang Ren opened his mouth, but seeing the crazy look in Yan Kai's eyes, and thinking about what Yan Lu's death meant to Yan Kai, Tang Ren couldn't help swallowing his words.
Riding on the horse, Lin Pingzhi frowned while heading towards the Xie Mansion, thinking about the change in Yan Kai's expression after he saw Yan Kai.
Although Lin Pingzhi is not a person who is good at observing words and expressions, it doesn't mean that he can't understand anything.
There was clearly something wrong with Yan Kai's various abnormalities, but Lin Pingzhi couldn't figure it out for a moment.
With such doubts, Lin Pingzhi rushed towards Xie's mansion at a very fast speed.
But Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others rushed to the city gate immediately after Lu Qing led the imperial soldiers and horses past.
I thought they could easily pass through the city gate in their identities. After all, those old soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop them.
It's just that before he got close to the city gate, he saw a group of soldiers in armor guarding the gate from a distance. As for the old soldiers who guarded the gate in the past, they couldn't see them at all.
Seeing the heavily guarded appearance of the city gate clearly through the raised curtain on the carriage, Qiao Songnian's heart tightened, and his complexion became a little dignified.
Those in charge of driving the carriages were all Qiao's confidantes, and when they saw the soldiers guarding the city gate from a distance, their expressions changed.
The clothes and demeanor of these soldiers were exactly the same as the group of elite soldiers and horses they had seen just now, so they knew without thinking that these people must be with the previous group of soldiers and horses.
When did such a troop come to the city, and even closed the city gate.
A steward stepped forward first and walked towards the soldiers.
Meng Yang was the leader of this group of soldiers. He led more than 50 elite soldiers and was responsible for guarding the city gates to prevent anyone from leaving the city.
It can be said that Meng Yang's order is that no one is allowed to leave Yuyao County at this time. After such a short period of time, he has persuaded many people who wanted to leave.
Although it was a bit cumbersome, Meng Yang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
As a low-ranking officer of Tengxiang Zuowei, Meng Yang knew very well that if things were done well this time, their benefits would definitely be indispensable after returning.
But if you mess up the errand, you really think Li Huan is so easy to talk to.So Meng Yang was very dedicated to his duty and sat in charge in person.
When Meng Yang saw a group of carriages approaching the city gate from afar, Meng Yang couldn't help frowning.
Just looking at the size of the convoy, one can tell that the status of the people on the carriage must be unusual. If this is placed in the capital, they must be dignitaries that they cannot afford to provoke.
It's a pity that in this county town, Meng Yang doesn't worry about anything, no matter what, at most it's just a local tyrant, he really isn't afraid of the other party.
A steward of Qiao's family stepped forward and immediately recognized Meng Yang's unusual status among these soldiers. It was closed all of a sudden, my master is going out of the city, and please ask the military master to be flexible."
As he spoke, the steward stuffed a silver ingot weighing twelve taels into Meng Yang's hand.
Ten taels of silver ingots, this is not a small amount, it can be said that the steward's move is quite generous. Generally speaking, with so much silver, the soldiers will definitely be lenient.
The manager looked at Meng Yang with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Meng Yang to nod and say yes.
However, Meng Yang glanced at the steward and put away the silver ingot. The steward was overjoyed when he saw this, but the next moment, Meng Yang shook his head with a cold face and said, "Get lost, I didn't see the city gate." Has it been sealed off, tell your master to go back to the mansion. You can leave Yuyao County if you want to, and leave when the city gate opens."
The manager never thought that Meng Yang would take the money and not do anything, and he was so rude, the smile on his face froze all of a sudden, and he looked at Meng Yang in disbelief.
Meng Yang took the money and did not do anything. He still felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he had a sullen face. Seeing that the steward was still standing there, he immediately shouted angrily: "Why, didn't you understand me?"
The steward came back to his senses, was startled by Meng Yang, turned around quickly and ran over with the carriage.
Qiao Songnian watched from a distance. Although he couldn't hear the conversation between the steward and Meng Yang clearly from a distance, he could clearly hear Meng Yang's roll at the end.
When Qiao Songnian heard the scrolling words, his heart skipped a beat, realizing that it might not be so easy to leave the city today.
Sure enough, the steward soon ran over with frustration and anger, and said to Qiao Songnian: "Master, I'm so incompetent, the officer took the money and didn't do anything. He said the gate of the city has been blocked, let us go back to the mansion." Go, if you want to leave the city, then wait until the city gate opens."
At this moment Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, and Mao Shang also got out of the carriage and came over.
Just when they heard the steward's words, the complexions of several people suddenly became gloomy, and they glanced at the guards at the gate of the city from a distance.
Xing Tai frowned and said to Qiao Songnian: "Brother Qiao, the situation is not good. If I were Li Huan, I would soon investigate and arrest the person who promoted the civil uprising behind the scenes. There is not much time left for us." That's a lot."
After seeing the elite troops led by Lu Qing, in fact, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and the others no longer had much hope for their arrangement of rioters to attack Li Huan and others, and only hoped that they could get enough money for them. Time for them to get away.
As long as they can escape from Yuyao County, even Jin Yiwei will never be able to find them.
But the current situation is that they can't even get out of Yuyao County, and now they are really trapped in the city.
Just like what Xing Tai said, once Li Huan tortured them and found out that they were the mastermind behind the scenes, those who arrested them would probably come soon.
In fact, Xing Tai and the others didn't know at all that Li Huan had already taken their local power into consideration from the very beginning, and even dug a hole for them to jump in by themselves.
Li Huan didn't even need to torture him, because some of Xing Tai's little actions were under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.
Qiao Songnian frowned, eyes full of exhaustion, looked at the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate ahead, and suddenly said viciously: "Since they blocked the city gate, let's rush out."
As Qiao Songnian looked up at Xing Tai and the others, he said, "Everyone, don't forget that we have no way out. Now we have to fight to the death and go out of the city, so as to have a chance of survival. Otherwise, everyone who is trapped In the city, sooner or later Li Huan will catch him."
Xing Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Then give it a go, if Li Huan doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will fight for a way to survive ourselves."
Xing Tai turned his attention to Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and others.
At this moment, Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and the others also nodded at Xing Tai without hesitation and said in unison: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, so just say what you want to do."
Qiao Songnian said viciously: "Gather the servants of each family, and then the big guys will kill and scatter the soldiers guarding the city, open the city gate, and escape from the city."
Cao Zhen and Mao Shang were obviously prepared, so when they heard Qiao Songnian say such words, they didn't show any surprise on their faces.
Even Cao Zhendang nodded and said: "Okay, all the servants of my Cao family can be sent out."
Mao Shangdao: "There is also my Mao family. Isn't it just dozens of soldiers, not as many as any of our families. With so many of us, is there nothing we can do with these dozens of soldiers?"
Listening to Mao Shang's words, everyone looked at the group of soldiers blocking their way, and there was no panic and fear in their eyes, but a bit of murderous intent.
Several people looked at each other, then returned, and then arranged for the servants of each family to prepare to attack the city defenders.
It only took a while, and several families of about two or three hundred servants were ready.
These servants are the confidantes of each family who gave birth to children, and it can be said that the same master's family is both prosperous and hurt, and even if they are desperate for the safety of the master's family, few people will frown.
When so many strong and strong family members gathered faintly and tended to approach them, Meng Yang, who was guarding the city, and his soldiers were not blind, so how could they not detect something wrong with so many people.
Meng Yang took a look at the servants who gathered together, his expression became concentrated immediately, and he said to his subordinates in a deep voice: "Be careful, these people are not right."
As an elite in the army, they still have this sense of vigilance, even without Meng Yang's order, many soldiers subconsciously clenched their weapons and looked at the servants in the distance with full alertness.
Meng Yang took a step forward, his eyes sparkling, and he shouted loudly: "The city gate is the most important place, and the idlers should stay away. This official has already said that the city gate will not be opened today, and you should leave quickly."
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to stay here after being scolded by officers and soldiers like this.
But when Meng Yang finished speaking, Qiao Songnian yelled, "Let's all charge and go out of the city. My master will give you a lot of rewards!"
Qiao Songnian's yell was like a signal, and hundreds of servants and servants rushed towards the gate of the city.
"Kill!"
Many servants directly took out the hidden weapons, including daggers, waist knives, and even short sticks, while some servants without weapons took down sticks from far away stalls that were frightened to the point where no one was there, and then looked fanatical. He rushed towards Meng Yang and other soldiers guarding the gate of the city.
When Meng Yang saw this situation, his complexion changed immediately, and he shouted at one of his subordinates: "You should inform your lord immediately, there are rebels who intend to snatch the city gate and escape from the city."
Hearing the words, the fierce soldier nodded immediately, then got on his horse, and then galloped towards the servants.
Seeing this, these servants were subconsciously stunned for a moment, and when they reacted and wanted to stop them, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.
More than a dozen arrows fell, killing several people on the spot, and several people wailed terribly after being hit by the arrows.
Although these servants can be regarded as strong and strong, and there are even a few guards who can barely be regarded as third-rate experts, they are all ordinary people after all.
Many people may have never experienced such a life-and-death scene in their entire lives, so when a companion around them died so alive in front of them, many people were shocked at the time.
This is also the most normal reaction of many normal people.
It was also the skill of these people who were stunned, that one galloping horse directly smashed into several servants blocking the front, and then swung a knife to kill a few unlucky ghosts, killing the team of these servants in a daze. , gallop away.
It wasn't until this time that Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others who saw this scene reacted.
They didn't know what that fierce soldier was going to do when he rushed out. It was obvious that he was going to ask for help.
There are only dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate, and they are still somewhat sure to rush out, but if these soldiers really come to help, just relying on the servants and servants kept by each of their families, to be honest, they are really good. There is no hope of being able to rush out.
Speaking of which, they are just tyrants entrenched in the inland, not like those sea merchants who have maritime trade at home in the southeast coast.
You must know that those sea merchants are really fierce. All the servants and servants at home have seen blood, and they have fought life and death with pirates, Japanese pirates and even their colleagues at sea.
The servants kept in the homes of many maritime merchants are even more capable than the officers and soldiers.
If the Qiao family and the Xing family are the kind of sea merchants who smuggle sea trade, let alone a combination of several families, I am afraid that any servants of any family can break through the defense of dozens of officers and soldiers like Meng Yang. The gate of the city, rushed out of the city early.
Looking at the soldiers in the army whose figures had gradually disappeared, Qiao Songnian and Xing Tai looked at each other, and Qiao Songnian shouted: "Let everyone charge as hard as they can, and don't delay for a moment, otherwise , Big Guys, no one should try to escape today."
Speaking of which, Qiao Songnian went forward in person and shouted at the servants who were suppressed: "Listen up, everyone, but if you can go out of the city today, my master promises that each of you will give us three acres of good land, ten Two lines of silver."
For example, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also generally made promises to their servants, and also took out fertile land and silver taels.
And Qiao Songnian looked at Meng Yang and the others who blocked their way, gritted his teeth and said, "Anyone who can kill one of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded with an additional 50 taels of silver, and those who kill two will be rewarded with [-] taels of silver, with no upper limit." .”
There are only more than 50 soldiers in the area, and the most they can spend is less than 3000 taels of silver. Compared with their families, which one is not worth tens of thousands of taels, it is really nothing to spend such a small reward.
For people like Qiao Songnian and Xing Tai, 50 taels of silver per person was really not much, but for these servants, 50 taels of silver was simply an astronomical figure.
All of a sudden, many people became short of breath, and their gazes towards Meng Yang and the others were full of madness and excitement.
It is a greedy desire, stimulated by money, even an honest person will become a madman.
Moreover, the rewards offered by Qiao Songnian and the others are too tempting. Whether it is land or rewards, they are the things that these servants desire most in their lives. Originally, they had no hope in their entire lives, but now they are within reach. .
In an instant, all the servants rushed towards Meng Yang and the others with red eyes. As for the psychological impact brought to them by the death of their previous companion, how could it be worth Qiao Songnian's promise of reward.
Naturally, the faces of Meng Yang and the others changed greatly, but seeing the crowd rushing forward, Meng Yang roared with a vicious voice: "Brothers, kill me, your lord's reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive, We won."
Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others shouted loudly from behind: "Kill them all, I will reward you for killing me!"
Especially when Qiao Songnian stood directly on top of a carriage and shouted loudly.
All of a sudden, the morale of those servants was high.
However, at this moment, an arrow pierced through the air and hit Qiao Songnian's head. The arrow sank into the back of Qiao Songnian's head and went out directly from his mouth.
A look of disbelief appeared on Qiao Songnian's face, and then the corpse fell directly from the carriage with a thud.
Just as he was climbing onto the roof of the carriage imitatively, Cao Zhen felt a burst of piercing sound before he could open his mouth just as he stood firm, followed by a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, an arrow had shot pierced through the chest.
Moreover, Cao Zhen also saw the scene where Qiao Songnian fell directly from the carriage with his head pierced by an arrow.
"how so!"
Infinite unwillingness and doubts flashed in his heart, and Cao Zhen's figure also fell from the carriage.
Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen were killed on the spot by the intruding arrows. Not only Xing Tai, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang were dumbfounded, but also those who were encouraged by Qiao Songnian's morale The servants and servants who rushed to the army also noticed this scene.
Almost half of the servants were confused by this turn of events.
My master died like this, so should they continue to rush?And who killed his master.
As soon as such a thought came into my mind, I saw dozens of horses coming, all of them were Jinyi guards in brocade clothes. These brocade guards held strong crossbows in their hands and embroidered spring knives on their waists. The color of Chen Yao.
"Hahaha, my lord did not make a mistake. You people must have thought of going out of the city because the opportunity was not good. It's a coincidence that you came earlier. Brothers, let me kill you. Don't let the brothers of Tengxiang Zuowei see our news." joke."
A group of Jinyi guards pulled their crossbows, and with the sound of piercing through the air, dozens of servants and servants fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers of Tengxiang Zuowei, such as Meng Yang, who were trying to resist the attack of these servants at the gate of the city, were immediately refreshed when they saw this situation.
This is reinforcements. Although they are not their own brothers, the members of Jin Yiwei are also reinforcements.
Meng Yang laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, brothers, did you hear that, the brothers of Jin Yiwei are here, and they are all putting on a desperate posture for me, don't let people underestimate us."
Originally, it was quite difficult for these servants and servants to attack the army formation. If there was no external interference, they might pay a heavy price to break up the army formation and kill a way out.
However, following Chen Yao's order to arrive with Jin Yiwei, he shot and killed Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen, which was equivalent to giving these servants a blow in the head, and almost knocked them into a daze.
And with the addition of Jin Yiwei, under the front and rear attacks, the servants and servants have never suffered such a scene and impact, they collapsed immediately.
What kind of rewards, what kind of fertile land, they have to be taken by fate.
Previously, seeing how powerful his family was, coupled with the temptation of rewarding money, he took a gamble, as long as he wasn't the one who died.
But the situation is different now, fools can see that with the arrival of Jin Yiwei, they have no hope at all, and they will be fools if they try their best now.
"Escape!"
Someone shouted and fled in all directions. As for the relatives of the Cao family, the Xing family, and the Qiao family who were still in the carriage, who has the time to take care of them at this moment.I don't know if I can survive.
Seeing this scene, Xing Tai and Mao Shang couldn't help but look desperate.
Zheng Buer let out a long sigh: "It's over, it's over!"
huh, huh, huh
There was another burst of arrows, and the servants who turned around and fled fell down.
Meng Yang and the others only chased them more than a dozen feet away, then took the initiative to retreat, and continued to guard the city gates to prevent accidents, while Chen Yao led Jin Yiwei to chase and kill these servants.
Soon, except for a very small number of servants and servants who hid, the rest were all killed by Chen Yao.
When Chen Yao brought people under control of Xing Tai, Mao Shang, Zheng Bu'er and their families, Meng Yang brought a few of his men to thank Chen Yao.
"Thank you brother for arriving in time, otherwise, we might not be able to withstand the impact of so many people."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, thank my lord. If my lord hadn't sent us here as soon as we solved those rioters, we wouldn't have arrived in such a timely manner."
As he said that, Chen Yao cupped his hands at Meng Yang and said, "Brother, Chen is going to take these people to report to the Lord."
Meng Yang also bowed his hands to Chen Yao.
Here, Li Huan handed over a list to Lu Qing and said, "Commander Lu, this is the home of several powerful men in Yuyao who participated in the rebellion this time. You immediately send a part of your troops to raid the house along with Jin Yiwei's men."
Although it is said that the Jinyiwei brought by Li Huan has been used to the limit by him, but the Jinyiwei who spread out to stare at several companies still sent back news, letting Li Huan know that Xing Tai, Mao Shang and others saw the situation in a bad way. The core members of the family are ready to leave the city.
This is also the reason why Li Huan was able to send Chen Yao to surround and kill Xing Tai and others in time.
Hearing this, Lu Qing took the list, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the governor, the general will definitely take everyone down."
Li Huan smiled and said, "I trust Commander Lu."
Soon Lu Qing recruited several confidant generals under his command, and gave some orders. After a while, several teams left with a dozen Jinyiwei.
There are soldiers from Tengxiang Zuowei who arrest people, and people from Jinyiwei who raid their homes are watching. Even if there are soldiers whose hands and feet may be dirty at that time, it is inevitable that the small ones will come and go, but there are people from Jinyiwei. Don't worry about anything major going wrong.
Of course, the more important thing is that compared to the Xie family, the Xing family and the Mao family are just general local tycoons, unlike those large merchants in the southeast coastal areas who are all well-off, who can confiscate dozens of them at will. Millions of taels of gold and silver came out.
As for the Xing family and the Mao family, in Li Huan's opinion, it is not bad that each family can confiscate tens of thousands of taels of silver.
There was a sound of horseshoes, Li Huan, Lu Qing and others looked up, and saw Lin Pingzhi rushing over with a few Jinyi guards.
Getting off his horse, Lin Pingzhi turned to Li Huan and said, "My lord, I have found the magistrate of Yuyao County, and my subordinates have told him my lord's order."
Li Huan nodded slightly, glanced at Lin Pingzhi, and noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Pingzhi's expression, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Pingzhi, seeing the hesitation on your face, is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath, nodded, and then told Li Huan in detail about all the abnormalities of Yuyao County Magistrate that he had met with.
Lu Qing on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said with great certainty: "There is definitely something wrong with the magistrate of Yuyao County. A county magistrate like him is arrogant and ruthless. He never cares about our rank. How could he We have a smiling face, but anyone who greets us with a smiling face must have bad intentions."
Although Lu Qing's words are a bit absolute, they also represent the normal state of this era.
Although it is not as serious as in the late Ming Dynasty, civil servants look down on military generals, but it is not as simple as a sign. It can be said that civil servants look down on military generals. It is quite a common phenomenon.
It can be said that if a civil servant meets a general according to rank, he will definitely be ridiculed by his colleagues.
It is quite normal for the seventh-rank county magistrate to look down on the fifth-rank Qianhu official.
Li Huan looked at Lin Pingzhi thoughtfully: "You said that the other party seems to be hostile to us or even murderous?"
Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Unless I feel wrong."
Li Huan said to a general banner of Jin Yiwei beside him: "Bring Xie Di!"
As the local leader of Yuyao County, the Xie family may not be clear to others about Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao County, but Xie Di, one of the principals of the Xie family, definitely knows everything about it.
Soon Xie Di was brought over.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Di and said, "Xie Di, do you have anything to say about Yuyao county magistrate, Yan Kai?"
At this time, Xie Di obviously already belonged to the kind of mentality of breaking the jar, and even the family's treasure house was honestly explained. At this moment, Li Huan was just asking about Yan Kai, the county magistrate of Yuyao. He knows everything.
Although he was puzzled, Xie Di still replied: "My lord, Yan Kai has no ambitions. Most of the affairs in the county government are handled by the subordinates in the government office, while he mostly hides in his mansion." Pleasure, although it does not harm the common people very much, it definitely belongs to corrupt officials."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Then why do you think he has murderous intentions towards Jin Yiwei?"
Xie Di was stunned for a moment, with a pensive look on his face, but soon Xie Di seemed to think of something, and gave Li Huan and the others a strange look.
Noticing the change in Xie Di's expression, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but said: "Quickly tell me, what's going on, when I saw Yan Kai, I always felt that he looked at me in the wrong way, full of hostility and murderous intent."
Xie Di glanced at Lin Pingzhi and the others and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yan Kai must have known the news that you killed his only son."
Li Huan and Lin Pingzhi were puzzled when they heard the words. When did they kill the county magistrate's son?
Xie Di said slowly: "Yan Kai has only one son under his knees, such a single seedling can be regarded as a lifeblood, and he will be sent to the county school..."
"County school!"
After hearing Xie Di's words, no matter it was Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi, or some Jin Yiwei nearby, all had strange expressions on their faces.
They killed dozens of county school students before. Could it be that Yan Kai, the county magistrate's son, was among them? If so, then everything can be explained.
It was precisely because they killed Yan Kai's only son that Yan Kai hated Jin Yiwei so much that he harbored murderous intentions.
Xie Di saw the expressions of Li Huan and the others in his eyes and said: "Then Yan Kai's death of his son is equivalent to the death of his queen. In my opinion, he will not let it go so easily."
Seeing the mocking look in Xie Di's eyes, Li Huan glanced at Xie Di lightly, and ordered someone to take Xie Di down.
Li Huan glanced at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Pingzhi, in your opinion, what should we do with Yan Kai?"
Lin Pingzhi said without hesitation: "Naturally, I will kill him to avoid future troubles."
Speaking of Lin Pingzhi: "We killed the only son of the family. After the death of the family, the hatred will become serious. Besides, Xie Di also said just now that Yan Kai is not a good official. Even if he is killed, it is not wronged him."
Speaking of Lin Pingyi, he looked at Li Huan with an eager look, as if he wanted to plead for his life.
But at this moment, there was a loud commotion in the distance, which immediately attracted Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi, and Lu Qing to follow the sound and look over.
So many people have died here, it can be said that the ground is full of corpses, the people around have long been frightened and closed their doors tightly, not daring to take a step out of the door, the whole street is quiet, like a ghost.
Someone came over at this moment, obviously not an ordinary person.
"Hey, isn't this Yan Kai? How did he come so fast?"
When Lin Pingzhi saw the group of people in the distance, his eyes fell on the leader, and he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance.
Li Huan also saw clearly the Qipin county magistrate's uniform worn by the visitor. In this Yuyao county, the only one who could wear the Qipin county magistrate's uniform was Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao.
Even Li Huan has become somewhat interested in Yan Kai. The other party is supposed to go to recruit civilian husbands at this moment, but considering that the other party's son died and he hated them so much in his heart, then appearing in Yan Kai now Here, it's not too strange, maybe they are here for revenge.
It was Yan Kai who came, and the 30 people who followed Yan Kai were all his servants, plus the housekeeper Tang Ren, a group of 30 people were pushing several carts, which were filled with a The fine wine on the altar creaked towards Li Huan and the others.
Yan Kai, who was the leader, walked into the long street and saw the corpses on the long street at a glance. Yan Kai was startled when he saw these corpses for the first time, with a look of horror on his face.
He thought that Li Huan asked him to summon servants to collect the corpses of dozens of students from the county school, but when he saw the countless corpses on the long street, Yan Kai immediately understood why Li Huan wanted him The people are summoned.
How could dozens of county school students need to summon civilian husbands, but why are there so many corpses of ordinary people here.
While horrified in his heart, Yan Kai had only one opinion of Li Huan, that is a murderous butcher.
Those are all ordinary people, even if he, the parent officer, said that he killed a few people, it would be fine, but if there were too many people, they would lose their heads.
But Li Huan killed hundreds of thousands of people.
A lunatic, a butcher, a murderer, Yan Kai thought of his son who was also killed by Li Huan, and the hatred in his heart was drawn out by these corpses.
I don't know where my son's corpse is at the moment, is it like the corpses of these common people, just thrown in the corner so casually, there is no one to collect the corpse.
Relying on the hatred in his heart, Yan Kai managed not to be frightened by these corpses, but all the servants including Tang Ren were so frightened that their legs became weak, and even the car almost couldn't support it. .
Yan Kai noticed the fear on the faces of these servants, snorted coldly, then gave Tang Ren a hard look, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Huan and the others in the direction of Xie's residence from a distance.
Gathering his mind, Yan Kai winked at Tang Ren, with a smile on his face, and strode towards Li Huan and the others.
Stepping past the corpses one after another, Yan Kai seemed to have not seen those miserable corpses on the ground, as if he only had Li Huan and others in his eyes.
From the moment they saw Yan Kai, Li Huan and the others were sizing up Yan Kai.
Yan Kai's appearance is not bad, he wears an official suit, but he is a bit imposing, at first glance he really looks like a competent official.
With a distance of tens of feet, it is said that ordinary people can't clearly see the expression change on a person's face dozens of meters away, but if others can't see it, it doesn't mean that Li Huan can't see it.
Li Huan's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and the texture of leaves tens of feet away can be clearly seen, not to mention the change of expression on Yan Kai's face.
Seeing Yan Kai approaching with a smile on his face, Li Huan said with a light smile: "There is indeed something wrong with Yan Kai. You see, if he is a county magistrate, if he sees so many corpses suddenly appearing under his rule, It will definitely be extremely shocking, but apart from a smile on this person's face, there is no shock or anger at all."
Lin Pingzhi said: "My lord, do you want me to take it down?"
Li Huan glanced over the carts in the distance that were struggling to move forward because of the bodies all over the ground, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "No hurry."
While speaking, Yan Kai had already walked over, and the smile on his face became more and more clearly visible.
But if you observe carefully, you can notice a gloomy murderous intent flashing through the depths of Yan Kai's eyes when he saw Li Huan clearly.
Yan Kai stepped forward, bowed to Li Huan with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Kai, magistrate of Yuyao County, pays homage to Your Majesty the Grand Tutor."
Just looking at Yan Kai's reaction, you can be as respectful as you want. If you don't know the details of the other party, you will really be confused by his humble attitude.
Li Huan looked at Yan Kai condescendingly, and suddenly said: "Magistrate Yan, are you convicted?"
Yan Kai couldn't help being taken aback, his complexion changed slightly, subconsciously thinking whether his son's identity had already been known by Li Huan.
Just as Yan Kai was secretly guessing, Li Huan's voice rang in his ears and said, "I heard that County Magistrate Yan has a son named Yan Lu who is studying in the county school..."
Yan Kai reacted immediately, and when Li Huan mentioned his son's name, it was obvious that Li Huan had already checked his details.
Immediately, Yan Kai raised his head to look at Li Huan, just in time to see Li Huan looking at him indifferently, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
Now that he has been seen through, Yan Kai is no longer pretending, and immediately roared at Li Huan with hatred on his face: "Butcher, you butcher, my son is so innocent, you actually killed them, Luer is my only son!" Ah. You want me, Yan Kai, to die from now on..."
Li Huan glanced at Yan Kai indifferently and said: "If I hadn't wronged your son, your son would have robbed civilian women, even killed husbands, and taken away wives more than once. A scum like him, Killing is what you deserve."
Since Yan Kai knew that Li Huan already knew that Yan Lu was his son, it would not be difficult for him to find out the crimes committed by his son with Jin Yiwei's ability.
Yan Kai didn't argue either, but just looked at Li Huan bitterly and said: "Li Huan, if you kill my own son and cut off my heir, even if I die, I will drag you with me."
Li Huan pointed disdainfully at the wine jars on the carts in the distance and said: "If you expect the things you brought, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment and confusion on his face, as if he didn't understand why Li Huan knew about his support.
One must know that only Tang Ren and a few other servants knew about his plan, and any one of them was an old man who had been with him for more than 20 or [-] years, so he could definitely believe it.
But at this moment Li Huan said to Yan Kai with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Yan might as well look back."
Hearing Li Huan's words, Yan Kai didn't know why he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he turned his head and looked behind him immediately.
