Prime Minister of Great Qin

Li Lin was in disbelief when he heard the final result.

He looked at everyone present coldly and said coldly: "What do you mean? You still want to push me out to die?"

Shan's father, the county chief registrar, said: "County Prime Minister, don't blame me. The reason why we think the County Prime Minister is the most suitable is naturally because of our own ideas. After all, the County Prime Minister is involved in all matters big and small in the county." Yes, and these times it was the county magistrate who was making suggestions."

"After all, we are only responsible for execution."

"It is inevitable that things will not be considered carefully, or things will be done poorly, and mistakes will inevitably occur."

"But the county magistrate is not like that."

"You are a fully responsible official and you are very familiar with all the matters in the county. In addition, it is your hand. It is naturally the safest for you to come forward. Moreover, this matter is really too big. If If you push me to go out and fight, I'm afraid most of the court won't believe it."

"This is also a helpless choice for us."

"If possible."

"Who wants the county magistrate to go?"

"But now, County Magistrate, ask yourself, is there anyone in the county who is more suitable than you?"

"I'm afraid there is none."

"All kinds of suggestions and ideas come from your hands. You are responsible for the affairs of the county, and you are also very knowledgeable about economic matters. And as a person second only to the county magistrate, you have the possibility of insisting on your own way and covering the sky with one hand. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of the county, the perspective of the court, or the perspective of how this matter can be handled most cheaply, the person to resist is none other than you, the county magistrate."

"We know that the county magistrate is unwilling."

"But it concerns hundreds of officials and dozens of families in the entire Shanfu County. I ask the county magistrate to focus on the overall situation."

"We also promise the county magistrate that as long as the county magistrate is willing to take on everything, we will definitely do our best to protect Mr. Ling and will never let him suffer any injustice in the future. We will also use part of the money and food that originally belonged to the county magistrate to fully The rest will be distributed to Lingzi."

"We have worked together in the county for many years, and we are like brothers. We will never let down the county magistrate."

"Please ask the county magistrate to take care of the overall situation and die for us."

"Please ask the county magistrate to take care of the overall situation and die for us."

"."

As the chief clerk spoke, other officials spoke one after another.

For a while.

Voices calling for Li Lin to die kept coming and going.

Li Lin's face was livid, his fists were clenched even more tightly, and his eyes were almost ready to burst into flames.

He had never seen so many shameless people.

What you say is high-sounding, isn’t it because you want to send yourself to death?

As for the promises made by these people, how could he, Li Lin, believe them? The imperial court was furious, and the whole clan must have been implicated. How could these people have the courage to protect their sons? Even if they did, without him, the money they had accumulated over the years would surely have been lost to the imperial court if it was not taken away by the imperial court. These people were annexed and occupied.

He knows his colleagues very well.

They have always eaten people without spitting out the bones. It is more difficult to make them look at red meat than to kill them.

The so-called promise is bullshit!

Li Lin had a gloomy face, and his cold gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the lobby one by one.

County magistrates, county lieutenants, chief registrars, field officials, livestock officials, Sikong, governors, etc., but these people were not ashamed at all, let alone blushing. They just stared at Li Lin directly, without any shame at all. .

As if everything was taken for granted.

It's also logical.

Li Lin laughed angrily: "Haha, I, Li Lin, finally understand. You just want me, Li Lin, to take care of these things."

"But it's impossible."

"Either choose someone else, or die together."

"I, Li Lin, should not be taken advantage of."

"I would like to see what you can do if I don't give in?"

"You still dare to kill me?"

Li Lin sneered, his eyes full of determination.

He said disdainfully: "Meng Yi is probably on the road now. I'm afraid he will arrive in a few days. You dare to attack me. With Meng Yi's talent, how can you not see that it was just a trick? Then I will take care of everything." Tell the truth, if you want me to die, then don’t live anymore.”

"besides."

"Do you really think the imperial court is so easy to fool?"

"The advice I gave is just to cover it up as much as possible and keep things as small as possible. Do you really think you can fool them? Do you really think that the officials sent by the imperial court are fools? I just asked you to offer more heads so that you can make the most of it. Save a few people so that not all of them die, but since you don’t want to die and you all just want others to die, then it doesn’t matter.”

"Everyone just wait and see."

"Let's see how many people survive in the end."

Li Lin shouted coldly.

He just rolled up his sleeves and left, not wanting to stay any longer.

See this.

There was a killing intent in Wu Ma Shu's eyes.

After staring at Li Lin's back for a few times, he still suppressed the murderous intention.

Li Lin was right.

If Li Lin is left to fight alone, he won't be able to withstand it no matter what.

More heads must be sacrificed, otherwise it will not be enough to vent the anger of the court and it will be difficult to explain to the outside world.

It's just that he was too impatient and lost his mind for a moment, and actually provoked Li Lin in public. This undoubtedly irritated Li Lin. Now that the gap of distrust has been opened, it is probably impossible to persuade Li Lin to come back. .

But someone has to take charge of this.

You have to bear it even if you can’t bear it.

Otherwise, all the officials in Shanfu County would not survive.

Wu Ma Shu glanced coldly at the other officials in the lobby.

Everyone felt their bodies go cold, and their faces looked a little frightened.

a long time.

Wu Ma Shucai said coldly: "Now the county magistrate is full of distrust towards us, and I'm afraid it can't be restored. But this matter must be settled as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait until Meng Yi arrives and the thousands of Qin soldiers arrive. , even if I want to struggle, I may not have a chance."

"There are two major systems under the officialdom of Da Qin."

"'Cao' and 'official'."

"The difference between 'Cao' and 'Guan' is that 'Cao' is mainly responsible for administrative affairs such as civil affairs, such as 'Hu Cao', 'Li Cao', 'Wei Cao', 'Prison Cao', etc., while 'Guan' If someone is in charge of a certain specialized matter, such as the 'field official', 'animal official', 'sikong', 'ship officer', etc. who are present, we are often called 'official stingy men'."

"What happened this time was mainly because of the 'official' issue."

"So some 'officials' must be introduced, and all relevant 'officials' must be listed."

"I don't care whether you accept it or not, and I don't care whether you agree or not. This matter must be settled. As for the county magistrate, I will go there. This is also my final announcement to you. Don't think about struggling. With resistance.”

"If you really want to hold everyone back."

"I, the Wuma clan, have been based in Shanfu County for more than two hundred years, and I still think that I still have a certain degree of control over Shanfu County. Don't blame me for driving them all out in advance. If the imperial court takes action, maybe you can still survive for a couple of years. If people dare to push me to the edge, I will uproot all these people."

"You should know that I can do it."

Wu Ma Shu glanced at everyone present coldly, especially when he saw the 'Tieguan' and 'Yanguan', the murderous intent in his eyes was even more unconcealed.

The expressions of the relevant officials changed with shock and they directly begged for mercy.

However, Wu Ma Shu did not listen to begging for mercy at all. In this kind of matter, being kind to others is cruel to oneself. He must push these people out, otherwise once he is found, his Wuma family will be in Shanfu County. No matter how long the operation lasts, it can't stop Qin soldiers from charging and killing several times.

Not only will people die, but the wealth that has been accumulated for hundreds of years will also be plundered.

This is a family business that lasts for more than two hundred years!

He was now completely cornered.

he knows.

It was impossible for the court to really believe it, but he could only take a gamble now.

Bet that after he sacrifices more people, he can get extra mercy from the court, spare his life, and then keep his family property. If he dies, his huge Wuma family property will really be lost. Gone.

He was completely crazy now.

If someone dares to say the word 'no'.

He will surely go on a rampage and kill.

Seeing Wu Ma Shu's hysterical appearance, everyone in the lobby could tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Wu Ma Shu was obviously furious and just wanted to take himself out. As for the life and death of other people in the county, he simply didn't care. Don't care, don't care.

even. Even if other officials in the county are dead.

He doesn't even care.

He just wants to live.

As long as he can open his eyes to Qin Tingwang.

now.

Others in the lobby were also confused.

They also don't want to die.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of pushing Li Lin out.

Because Li Lin is the best scapegoat in their eyes. Li Lin knows the most and thinks the most thoughtfully. He is also the person whose official position is second only to the county magistrate. Only Li Lin can take on this matter. They Only then did he have a chance to escape from it, but it was all too sudden and too urgent.

They were not well organized at all.

Hasty calculations.

Naturally, he was left with feathers all over the place.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Wu Ma Shu didn't want to die and wanted to preserve his family business, so why didn't they?

Otherwise, he would have fled long ago.

But is escaping useful?

No.

Without houses, money and food, how are they different from those untouchables?

Not even as good as those lowly Guizhou heads.

The gap was so big that they wanted to die.

But Wu Ma Shu wanted to push them out. However, if the truth is told, the person who deserves to die the most is Wu Ma Shu. As the county magistrate, he is the one who should bear the most responsibility for such a big thing happening, and he is also the one who deserves to die. of.

And not only Wuma Shu, but also the county magistrate and county captain should all die.

They are the "Troika" in the county. Without the nods of these people, how could they be in the current situation?

Think of this.

There are already a few people who have the idea of ​​​​evil.

If Wu Ma Shu died.

Can we blame everything on him? Moreover, this is Wu Ma Shu's problem. They are just accomplices. They were coerced by Wu Ma Shu and were blackmailed. They did not agree with it and they were bent on Qin. , and deliberately preserved evidence for this purpose.

To wait for the heavenly official.

This all seems reasonable.

They were forced to do so, and although they were guilty, they should not be punished until death.

Thinking of this.

Finally a few people raised their heads.

His eyes were red.

The captain licked his chapped lips, his voice was a little hoarse, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.

He said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate, have you ever thought about something?"

"perhaps."

"You're the damned one!"

One word fell.

The entire lobby was quiet.

The others also looked at Wu Ma Shu suddenly, as if they suddenly understood something, with a hint of fanaticism and madness in their eyes.

Hear the words.

Wu Ma Shu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he seemed to realize something, and said with a gloomy face: "What do you mean?"

Then he yelled directly toward the door: "Here comes someone."

"Someone come quickly!"

However, before Wu Ma Shu finished his words, the captain rushed forward, covered Wu Ma Shu's mouth, and then roared at the others: "You are still stunned. What are you doing? Do you really want to die with this bitch?!"

"We are accomplices."

"And he, Wu Ma Shu, is the main culprit."

"We are all coerced and blackmailed. It's just that the Wuma family has been operating in Shanfu County for many years and is deeply rooted. We dare not disobey and can only pretend to be snakes. But we have been secretly collecting evidence in order to Wait for the heavenly official to arrive."

"We are all forced."

"The county magistrate."

"You can help us just once."

"Die for us once, I'm begging you this time."

"You are the magistrate of Shanfu County. If you die, we will all have excuses. You don't want to die, and we don't want to die. Magistrate, don't worry. As long as you die for us, we will definitely stay." You, the Wuma clan, have a way out."

"Magistrate, please."

"Stop struggling and die peacefully."

The captain's voice was trembling, but the movements of his hands did not slow down at all. He had completely pushed Wu Ma Shu to the ground. The veins on his forehead and hands were bulging, and his eyes were even redder, and they were still going on. With so much force, he begged and covered Wu Mashu's mouth and nose with all his strength.

After hearing the words of the capital officer, others also reacted.

Killing intent suddenly emerged in his eyes.

Yes.

As long as Wu Ma Shu is dead.

Then you can blame everything on him.

He is the county magistrate.

And they themselves were coerced.

Just when Wuma Shu was about to break free, the governor's voice was already a bit anxious, and he roared: "What are you still doing? This is the clan of the Wuma clan. If he lets his voice spread, we will But I can’t leave.”

"Come and help!"

After hearing what the captain said, the others rushed forward.

Some pressed their feet, some shook their hands, some covered their mouths and noses, and in the end, someone even took a tea bowl and hit Wuma Shu on the head.

Under the hurried operation of several people, Wu Ma Shu died completely.

Do not look down.

Even though he was dead, his eyes were still wide open.

His pupils were full of unwillingness and anger.

The captain and others sat on the ground panting. This was the first time they had killed someone. Sitting on the ground, their whole bodies were feeling cold and weak, their faces were pale, but there was only determination and ruthlessness in their eyes.

If Wu Ma Shu doesn't die, they will die.

They were forced to do this too!

a long time.

The captain stood up, spat out, and panted slightly.

"It's not enough. Just one Wuma Shu is not enough. There is also the county magistrate, and the county." Before the word 'wei' could be uttered, the chief of the capital tied a piece of cloth around the neck of the county captain, and then pulled hard. Then he continued: "The troika in the county must die. They are responsible for everything in the county. Unless they die, it will be difficult for us to survive."

Half an hour later.

The captain and his entourage left the Wuma clan's clan courtyard.

There were only a few fewer people than when they came, but everyone looked indifferent and left without any explanation, looking worried.

Nothing seems to have happened.

Just as it came.

It was not until noon that someone from the Wuma clan opened the door of the lobby and saw the cold corpses of several people inside, and suddenly screamed. However, before they could calm down, dozens of county soldiers came outside. Under the leadership of Wei Cao, the Wuma clan was directly surrounded.

Sunset.

Following a fire, the Wuma Mansion, which had flourished for more than two hundred years, was completely reduced to ruins. (End of chapter)
