Iron blood Suiming

Fan Zongquan knew that they hadn't passed the danger yet, but he had a plan in mind at this time, and said: "Master Li, I'm willing to write a blood letter, and describe Zhang County Magistrate's rebellion one by one. Your Excellency allows it." He wanted to do everything in front of Li Kaiguo and completely climb into Li Kaiguo's boat.

In fact, he had no choice but to have more than a hundred mouthfuls of blood from the Zuo family still stepping on their feet, and he didn't want his own blood to be shed here.As long as he can survive, even if the emperor is in front of him, if Li Jianguo asks him to stab him, he will stab him.

Li Jianguo let out a surprised 'huh', and immediately understood what Fan Zongquan meant.He sneered in his heart, this group of rich and heartless guys really didn't have any sense of shame and loyalty.

But Fan Zongquan wanted to write a blood book, and he appreciated it very much, so he asked someone to bring a pen and paper.Fan Zongquan took it, ignoring the blood-stained blue bricks on the ground, gathered a group of gentlemen together, using their backs as a table, grabbed a hand casually, put it in his mouth, and bit it fiercely. The gentry let out a groan, and then covered his mouth with his other hand.

Blood gurgled down from that hand, Fan Zongquan shook his spirits, soaked the brush in the blood, pressed the paper with his left hand, his legs pricked up, the tip of the pen came down slightly, and a bright red handwriting appeared on the paper.

This Fan Zongquan is really good at writing and calligraphy.When I wrote the pen, I didn't think about it. The strokes of the pen are thick and thick, and it is actually well written in official script.In the effort of rushing a cup of tea, I have already written hundreds of words.After finishing the last stroke, Fan Zongquan only felt at ease. He has practiced countless calligraphy in his life, but none of them can compare with the calligraphy he wrote today.

The gentry who knew the goods next to him were also ecstatic, and when the last stroke was completed, three or four people yelled "good word" in unison.

As soon as the word "good word" was pronounced, it immediately became surprisingly quiet. The other gentry, including officers and soldiers and Li Jianguo, looked at these people with strange eyes. Words on a defaced letter.

Only County Magistrate Zhang remained silent. At this moment, he was already desperate, and no matter what he did, he couldn't change it.We can only wait for Li Jianguo's fate.

Fan Zongquan sighed secretly in his heart, it's a pity that this good handwriting was used to write a dirty letter.But using it to exchange lives is worth it.

At the moment, he signed his name at the bottom, and all the gentry rushed forward to sign, for fear that there would be no place to sign.After pressing his fingerprints again, he respectfully presented the letter to Li Jianguo.

Li Kaiguo didn't care, handed the letter to the dumbfounded county magistrate Zhang, and said with a smile: "Look at the county magistrate, is it right?"

County Magistrate Zhang swept his eyes, and with his over [-] years of study skills, seeing ten lines at a glance is not a problem at all.The problem is that it says that he colluded with the bandits, intends to rebel, conspires against the country, and wants to establish himself as emperor... Before he finished reading, County Magistrate Zhang felt dizzy and almost fainted.

You don't need to look at the following, just want to establish yourself as the emperor, and you can kill his nine clans.Suddenly a surge of anger rushed into his head, County Magistrate Zhang stretched out his hand and tore the bloody book into pieces. He opened his mouth to yell and curse, but Li Jianguo slapped him across the face, and knocked County Magistrate Zhang unconscious.

Li Kaiguo withdrew his hand and ordered: "Tie it up and shut up your mouth." Immediately, officers and soldiers tied up the county magistrate Zhang.

Li Jianguo turned to Fan Zongquan and said: "This one is useless, you can write another one."

Fan Zongquan looked at the smear letter on the ground that was the most satisfying in his life and now it was gone, feeling sorry in his heart.At this time, Li Jianguo asked him to write another copy, and he quickly agreed.A group of gentry were familiar with the matter, and concocted another blood-stained book, but this time a different person supplied blood ink, and the face of the previous blood ink turned pale. If the same person did bloodletting this time, Li Jianguo would not spare his life Yes, go directly to the underworld.

After casually folding the blood book that was presented again, Li Jianguo put it in his arms, pulled out the dagger from behind, and threw it on the ground with a 'dang' sound.

"Pick up the knives, and everyone will stab the magistrate Zhang once, and then you can go home. If there are those who don't want to, I will never force you." Li Jianguo said these words very slowly, but the murderous aura made people shudder .

Fan Zongquan was overjoyed, the meaning in these words was clear, a glimmer of life finally came.He didn't have time to think about it, he rushed up to pick up the dagger, and stabbed County Magistrate Zhang's shoulder with one blow.

Magistrate Zhang woke up in pain after eating, and found that Fan Zongquan had stabbed him with a knife, his eyes were bloodshot, and he writhed wildly.

But Fan Zongquan didn't care about him, he just watched Li Jianguo with his eyes.

Li Jianguo nodded, and said lightly: "Next."

A group of gentry lined up to stab magistrate Zhang as if queuing up to offer incense.Even though every knife was stabbed at a non-critical point, there were still a few who were trembling and weak and didn't stab deeply.However, there were too many stab wounds, and there were still a few people left. Magistrate Zhang’s blood had already flowed out in a big puddle, and his head was bowed. average.

After the last person stabbed him, no blood flowed from Zhang County Magistrate's body.An officer tested his nose, listened to his heartbeat, and said, "Master Li, Magistrate Zhang is dead."

After hearing this, all the gentry breathed a sigh of relief, and it was almost over.They are not human beings. If Li Jianguo really wanted to kill them, why did he do this? Obviously, he wanted to tie them up and ride on a thief boat. Now it's up to Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo looked up at the sky, there was no moon in the sky, it was pitch black, and there was no wind.What I smelled in my nose was a smell of blood.It had only been two days since he came to the Ming Dynasty, but nearly two hundred people died at his hands.

He didn't want to kill this county magistrate at this time, but God gave him such a good chance.The bandits suddenly besieged the city, and they took advantage of the situation to get the position of the city guard guard. They planned to slowly erode the power in the hands of Zhang County Magistrate step by step.

However, because of the bandit rebellion and the gates of the city were closed, Gaomi County became an isolated city without information, and more than a hundred members of Zuo's family were killed, which put everyone in the city's gentry at risk and wanted to get rid of him.In order to tie all the gentry in the city to his boat and dare not fight against him, Li Jianguo had to take this opportunity to get rid of the county magistrate Zhang.

This is a great opportunity to kill birds with one stone. A group of gentry personally killed the court officials. What could be more intimidating to them?Although it was a great success, Li Jianguo couldn't help sighing silently in his heart.It's really a pressing situation, I have no choice.

But just a little bit of soft-heartedness was immediately forgotten by him, and the road ahead would become more and more dangerous, and if he was a little careless, he would fall into the abyss.

"You have done a good job. I keep my promise. You can go home now." Li Jianguo said lightly.

The gentry looked at each other and knelt on the ground together. Fan Zongquan wept bitterly and said, "It's the little people who were blind and offended the adults. Today, I have been forgiven by the adults. They are the reborn parents of the little people. It's just that the adults copied After entering the home of the little people, from now on, the little people want to serve the adults but they can't do anything, please let the adults spare the family of the little people." He kowtowed repeatedly.

They all knew in their hearts that at this moment, the family property could probably be preserved. After all, if Li Jianguo wanted to use them, he would not drive them out.Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who wants a horse to run fast and also not to eat grass.Crying and begging at this time is a good opportunity to give Li Jianguo an excuse for exoneration.

Li Jianguo also understood it, but he couldn't help acting it out. He said with a smile, "It was just a misunderstanding. I mistakenly thought that you were working with rebels. Now that you have proved your innocence, I will withdraw the order to seize the house." .It's just..." He shook his head as he spoke, as if he was a bit embarrassed.

All the gentry thought to themselves, "Here we come. Sure enough, we are not allowed to bleed. This matter is not fair." Fan Zongquan hurriedly said: "The little people know that adults have worked hard, and I, the gentry of the whole city, are willing to donate 50 taels of silver to relieve your worries." He gritted his teeth, and offered 50 taels of silver in one bite. It is expected that Li Jianguo must be elated when he heard this number, and they are naturally safe and sound.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianguo shook his head again and again, and the hearts of the gentry sank. Is it still too little?

Fan Zongquan gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Little people add another 20 taels of silver to honor the adults." He made up his mind that no matter how much money he spent, he must save his life. If life is gone, what is the use of money? ?It's just that 70 taels of silver is really not a small amount, and even the treasury's annual revenue is only more than two million taels. This gave Li Jianguo one-third of the treasury's income, how could he not feel distressed.

Some of the gentry who knelt down together were really distressed for Yin Zi, and wanted to take their lives for Yin Zi. Fortunately, there were gentry beside them who knew their temperament well, and rushed to gag their mouths. The guy who wants money but not his life drags them to die together.

Li Jianguo just nodded. He copied more than 20 taels of silver from the Zuo family. Other jewelry and antiques have not been counted, but the total estimate is about 30 taels. It can be seen that although Gaomi County is small, But the gentry are very rich, and the landlords are rich.

With so many gentry, as long as they have 70 taels of silver, it is not too much.If he knew that this would get one-third of the national treasury revenue, he would not think so.

Li Jianguo smiled and said: "It's not that I'm greedy for money, it's just that I'm going to recruit troops to suppress bandits in the city tomorrow, and I'm short of money, food and weapons. Let's see who can help me. of cash."

As soon as he said this, all the gentry were overjoyed immediately, as long as they can save less money, it is nothing to give out some food, grass and weapons.At that moment, someone shouted: "The villain has three thousand dans of grain at home, and I would like to give it to you as military rations."

"The villain has a thousand pieces of cloth, and he is willing to make them into military uniforms." This is a family with a cloth shop.

"The villain has two hundred spears at home..."

All the gentry immediately shouted in confusion.

Li Jianguo yelled: "Shut up." All the gentry bowed their heads in fright.

Li Jianguo pointed to Fan Zongquan and said: "You are the leader, how many things each family sells, how much silver taels are discounted, and write down and submit each item. I have something to say first, and you can raise the price a little bit, but if you are not greedy, this official The big knife in my hand doesn't mind sharpening it with your heads."

A group of gentry were frightened, and immediately became more honest, and immediately said repeatedly: "Don't dare, dare not." Then they surrounded Fan Zongquan and discussed in a low voice.
