Eternal traitor

Chapter 125 Kill Hundreds and Save Thousands

On the second day after the arrival of the new county magistrate, Fenglan County encountered a large-scale invasion by bandits, killing three brothers headed by the Ma family, numerous grain merchants, and all the Ma family were killed.The corpses were even more shocking, and the people of the major families were panic-stricken. In order to prevent the thieves from invading again, they donated money and food to the county magistrate Li, so as to resist the thieves.

"The granary has a total of 580 taels of grain, and 13 eight taels of silver. There are countless rare treasures, 320 title deeds, and thousands of fields."

Shi Wanglin, the new commander in charge of statistics, replied respectfully.He was originally a child of a poor family in Fenglan County, and his family was destitute.Because of his little fame, he was appointed as Lingshi by County Magistrate Li. Although it was only temporary, what if he became a regular after doing well? ?

"Bury the murdered sons of the Ma family in the back mountain, and wait for the Japanese county council to pay tribute to them in person tomorrow."

"Yes."

Wang Lin responded to County Magistrate Li's order, turned around and asked someone to give him instructions.

"Li Si is guarding the door, and no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Li Si, whose face had already begun to swell, quickly walked to the door of the room and became alert.

"Report the casualties."

Li Hua, who was leaning on the chair, was a little tired, and even felt a little bit of difficulty in speaking.Last night, he ordered to kill not only the three Ma family brothers, but also... the entire Ma family, including those close to the Ma family. Of the more than 200 subordinates, 150 were sent out by Li Hua last night, leaving only one team to stay in the house.Li Hua didn't know how many were killed, but it is estimated that the number is not a few.

"Last night... 340 people were killed, four brothers were killed, 15 were seriously injured, and 53 were slightly injured."

Li San originally wanted to say "kill the enemy", but last night they killed ordinary people, servants of the Ma Mansion, and pampered princes and ladies.It is wrong to say that it is the enemy, but there are indeed some loyal servants of the Ma family. These people desperately resisted and wanted to send the important figures of the Ma family away, but in the end they failed to do so, and all of them died under their swords.

"There are more than 300 people, human life is worthless. Is it right or wrong to kill three hundred and save ten thousand?"

Li Hua sighed with emotion. Although the three brothers of the Ma family did a lot of evil, most of their family members were innocent, and this group of people was honored and died because of the Ma family.The food and wealth collected by the Ma family is still more than enough to save the refugees outside the city, but for the Ma family who died under the butcher's knife, what is the difference between themselves and the devil? ?

"If the Ma family doesn't get rid of, when will the young master succeed?"

Li San personally killed the three leaders of the Ma family last night, so he naturally understood what Li Hua was thinking.For Li Hua, the Ma family was his hindrance. The Ma family didn't know how to advance or retreat, and wanted to threaten Li Hua to continue to control Fenglan County. In the end, it touched Li Hua's bottom line, and was killed by Li Hua directly.

Li San also didn't know that other than killing the Ma family's thieves, there was no other way to get Fenglan County to get rid of the dark cloud of the Ma family? ?Li Hua felt sorry for the innocent people of the Ma family, but this group of people was also taking money from the Ma family's domineering.Although it's not a case of death, it's also a cycle of cause and effect, right? ?
"I ordered that all the dead brothers send 100 taels of silver to their families, those who were seriously injured had 50 taels of silver each, and those who were slightly injured each had five taels of silver. In addition, those who fought last night each had three taels of silver, and those who stayed behind One tael of silver for each brother."

Li Hua uprooted the entire Ma family this time, and the wealth in it was so great that Li Hua made a lot of money.A dead person can offer a sky-high price of 100 taels of silver.You must know that only soldiers who died on the battlefield can get a subsidy of five or six taels of silver, but now it has been multiplied dozens of times with Li Hua.

"Li San thanked you son on behalf of the brother who died."

Li San paid homage to Li Hua, but he didn't dare to say anything else, he just said that in terms of treating his own people, Li San has never seen a master who can be as kind as Li Hua.

"For the money of the dead brother, you arrange for someone to send the body and the money back in person. The round-trip fare will be made up for him after he returns. Sending the money to the body is considered normal work, and he will be given a normal salary."

Li Hua gave a lot of money for settling down, but this is a living life. If someone is working hard for him and can't even take care of his family, then what face do he have to continue to take care of these people? ?
"Follow the son's order."

Li San suddenly felt that he was living in heaven. Li Hua treated an ordinary soldier like this. If he died one day, his family would probably have at least 200 taels of silver as compensation, right? ?Even if you die, it's worth it.

"Lee Si come in."

After Li San left, Li Hua thought about it and called out to Li Si.

"Yes."

Li Si knew that Li Hua was in a very bad mood now, and part of the reason for all this was actually him. If Li Si hadn't said so much that night, maybe Li Hua wouldn't have ordered the removal of the Ma family so decisively? ?

"Take my official seal and gather the officers and soldiers of Fenglan County to mix the collected swill with old grain and send it to the refugees outside the city. You should understand how to do it. You can control the scale by yourself and don't make trouble."

Li Hua's speech was much cooler than before, and he left Qin Wangdu. Under Li Hua's order, hundreds of people died.So many people died because of himself, Li Hua also felt uneasy and guilty at the beginning, and now he is indifferent.There are always good and evil sides to things. Since I have become a bad person, then I will do it to the end.

The implication of Li Hua's words has been made very clear just now. With just one sentence, he gave Li Si the power of life and death. That is to say, if the refugees still refuse to obey the management, then Li Si can choose to kill some people to deter others. refugee.And this sentence, how many people's lives are it? ?
"My subordinate understands."

Li Si carefully put away Li Hua's official seal, and then took the official seal to mobilize troops.Although the group of soldiers that Ying Zheng gave to Li Hua were stronger and more obedient to orders, the fight last night had consumed a lot of energy of this group of people, and the soldiers were all resting.Rather than fighting tiredly, it is better to find the officers and soldiers in Fenglan County who are eating dry food.

"Now... I'm afraid the people outside are panicking, right?"

In the empty room, Li Hua looked at his "blood-stained" palm and smiled.Without any reason, without any conviction, he kills hundreds of people himself, tyrant, tyranny is nothing more than that.But who can understand their difficulties? ?
Kill a hundred people and save ten thousand, right? ?is it wrong? ?
