Lou Qiming stared into Lu Xiucai's eyes and said sarcastically: "You are just a poor scholar. Don't think that you can stand on my head and shit in this flying fish suit. The sole of the shoe is the sole of the shoe and can never become the upper of the shoe."

"

Lu Xiucai took two steps forward, came to Lou Qiming, and said calmly: "The soles of shoes cannot be used as uppers, but they can slap people in the face!"

"Do you dare?"

Lou Qiming showed a fierce look in his eyes and said coldly: "Why didn't Ji Chen come here? He went to the Salt Gang. All your confidence is placed on Ji Chen. Before he and the Salt Gang can decide the outcome, you

If you dare to touch me, try it!"

Lou Qiming saw clearly that the key to everything tonight was Ji Chen and the Yan Gang.

Ji Chen wins, and they all die.

If the Salt Gang wins, not only will the immediate crisis be resolved, but Lu Xiucai and others will also die.

That's why he dared to think unscrupulously that Lu Xiucai didn't dare to touch him until Ji Chen and the Yan Gang had decided the winner.

As long as he holds his ground here and doesn't get caught, he may be able to turn over.

Once he loses control here, even if the Salt Gang wins in the end, he will be in big trouble.

After all, privately minting tax money is a serious crime that will destroy the Nine Clans.

Lu Xiucai squinted his eyes and said coldly: "It's a pity that you can't see the result."

After saying that, he directly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and stabbed Lou Qiming in the chest.

"puff!"

The tip of the knife penetrated Lou Qiqi's body and leaked out from the back.

Lou Qiming's eyes widened with disbelief.

He did not expect that Lu Xiucai would really dare to kill someone.

No, where did you get your confidence?

Ji Chen dared to take action directly before there was news from Ji Chen's side.

Do you really have that much confidence in Ji Chen?

Are you so sure that he can win?

Lu Xiucai said in Lou Qiming's ear: "If Ji Chen loses, will you let me go? So I might as well kill you first."

Lu Xiucai pulled out the horizontal knife, and blood spurted out from Lou Qiming's wound, covering Lu Xiucai's body.

This was his first time to kill someone. His face turned pale and his heart trembled slightly, but he hid it well.

He had to use thunderous means to frighten Lou Zhixian's family.

Ji Chen's killing of the county magistrate was definitely a big deal. Although the Jin Yiwei had the right to kill first and then report later, they were targeting people in the world. They only had the right to arrest, not kill, imperial officials.

Ji Chen's move is tantamount to provoking the imperial power. If the following is committed, it is a capital crime!

Lu Xiucai guessed that a flying letter had already been sent to Rongcheng Mansion. With the speed of the Dragon Blood Horse, someone from Rongcheng Mansion would come to Qixia Town at the latest tomorrow afternoon.

What he can do is to help Ji Chen deal with all the aftermath, find out where the tax money was illicitly minted as soon as possible, and put this case to death completely before the people from Rong City arrive, leaving it without any consequences.

The possibility of a comeback.

The most critical thing among them is the matter of privately minted taxes. As long as the tax bank case is discovered, even if the people from Rongcheng Prefecture come, they will not be able to overturn the case.

Lou Qiming's body slowly fell to the ground, and as blood continued to gush out, his life was gradually cut off.

Lu Xiucai wiped the blood on the horizontal knife on Lou Qiming's body and sheathed the horizontal knife.

The deputy head of the household looked at Lu Xiucai in surprise. This frail scholar who seemed to have no power to restrain a chicken really dared to kill someone.

Decisive and ruthless!

He looked at scholars differently.

His cold eyes glanced at all the relatives in Lou Zhi County, "Who else has any questions?"

The whole place was silent. No one dared to have any questions, and no one dared to look at him. They all lowered their heads.

Lu Xiucai decisively killed Lou Qiming, shocking everyone.

He turned to look at the servant behind him and said coldly: "You still have half a cup of tea."

The servants all turned pale and their bodies were trembling slightly.

Lu Xiucai's execution of Lou Qiming not only shocked his relatives, but also shocked them.

Even the son of the magistrate of Lou would be killed if asked, let alone their servants.

"If we confess, can you spare our lives?"

The speaker was an old man, about fifty years old, who was an official from Louzhi County.

Lu Xiucai said: "You have no right to negotiate terms with me. Either confess or die!"

The butler became worried and said, "If that's the case, why should I explain it? I'll die anyway."

Lu Xiucai walked over, drew out his horizontal knife, and struck the butler on the head.

"puff!"

The butler's head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out.

Lu Xiucai stared at everyone with a ferocious gaze, spitting out his blood-smelling arrogance without any trace of the scholar's weakness and meekness.

"There are still ten breaths left, give an account, or die, it's your choice."

After saying that, Lu Xiucai started counting down.

"ten"

"Nine"

"eight"

"I said, I know where the den is!".

"I said so too!"

"I will confess, I will confess everything!"

The servants raised their hands one after another and shouted loudly.

No one is not afraid of death, even if they know that confessing will result in death, everyone is willing to gamble on that slim chance.

Because if you don't explain, you will die immediately! If you do, you may be able to live a little longer.

Lu Xiucai turned around and said to a soldier in the distance: "Go get a pen and paper."

The soldier rushed into the house, quickly brought the four treasures of the study, and brought out a table.

Put down the desk and lay out the paper.

The servants dictated it and Lu Xiucai recorded it.

He wrote like a breeze and quickly filled ten sheets of paper.

Then it's time to sign and stamp.

According to the instructions of the servants, there is an underground secret room in the yard, and the entrance is under the rockery in the yard.

This was discovered accidentally by a servant while cleaning the yard. He didn't think much about it at the time, nor did he dare to think about it.

Lu Xiucai ordered two soldiers, led by his servant, to go under the rockery and pry open the bluestone floor, revealing a passage.

Lu Xiucai looked at the deputy head of the household behind him. The deputy head of the household called the chief and asked the chief to lead a dozen soldiers to explore.

In less than half a stick of incense, the soldiers came up carrying boxes of silver.

There are more than a dozen boxes.

In addition to silver, there are also a large number of silver molds and running account books.

Lu Xiucai picked up the account book and started to look through it, and soon discovered the secrets of Lou Zhixian and the Salt Gang in the account book.

All of this money came from the Salt Gang, which was obtained by the Salt Gang from selling illegal salt.

These account books not only recorded the origin of the money, but also recorded all the criminal evidence of the salt gang's smuggling of salt. The scale and scope of involvement made even Lu Xiucai dumbfounded.

This is the account book left intentionally by Lou Zhixian. It is a back-up he left for himself. Once something happens to him, the Salt Gang and those related people will not be able to survive alone.

Lu Xiucai put the account books away and sealed all the money. Then he said to the deputy head of the household: "Surround the Salt Gang and don't let anyone go!"

The deputy head of the household did not have any suspicion and immediately sent people to the Yangang. He took a few glances at the account book just now and knew the seriousness of the matter.
