Yan Kai obviously did not expect that Lin Pingzhi would suddenly look back, but Yan Kai was worthy of being an old fox who had lived for decades, and his face-changing skills were top-notch.
In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on Yan Kai's face, as if the hatred on his face just now was an illusion.
Lin Pingzhi felt as if he had been dazzled by something. The change in the expression on Yan Kai's face made Lin Pingzhi feel confused, but he still 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 understand."
Watching Lin Pingzhi and others leave, until Lin Pingzhi and others could no longer be seen, Yan Kai said coldly: "Tang Ren, please tell me, Li Huan asked me to recruit civilians to collect the corpses. There is this
Is it necessary?”
Tang Ren said doubtfully: "Normally, there are only a few dozen students in the county school, and it is enough for the government officials to go there. I 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, 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 but swallow the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Lin Pingzhi rode on his horse and headed towards Xie's Mansion, frowning as he thought 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 does not mean that he cannot understand anything.
There was clearly something wrong with Yan Kai's various anomalies, but Lin Ping couldn't figure it out for a while.
With such doubts, Lin Pingzhi rushed towards Xie's Mansion at an extremely fast speed.
However, Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others came to the city gate immediately after Lu Qing led the imperial soldiers and horses.
I thought they could easily pass through the city gate with their status, but after all, the old soldiers at the city gate didn't dare to stop them.
But before approaching the city gate, I saw a group of soldiers in armor guarding the city gate from a distance. As for the old soldiers who used to guard the city gate, I couldn't see them at all.
Through the curtain raised on the carriage, he could clearly see the heavily guarded appearance of the city gate. Qiao Songnian couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and his face became a little more solemn.
The people in charge of driving the carriage were all close men of the Qiao Mansion. When they saw the soldiers guarding the city gate from a distance, their expressions changed.
The clothes and temperament of these soldiers were exactly the same as the elite group of soldiers and horses they saw just now. It didn't take much to guess that these people must be with the previous group of soldiers and horses.
When did such a troop of soldiers and horses arrive in the city and even sealed the city gates?
A steward stepped forward first and walked towards the soldiers.
Meng Yang was the leader of this group of soldiers. He led more than fifty elite soldiers and was responsible for guarding the city gate to prevent anyone from leaving the city.
It can be said that the order Meng Yang received was not to allow anyone to leave Yuyao County at this time. In such a short time, he had already persuaded many people who wanted to leave.
Although it was a bit complicated, Meng Yang did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
As a junior general of Tengxiang's left guard, Meng Yang knew very well that if things were done well this time, they would definitely benefit from them after returning.
But if something went wrong, Li Huan would be so easy to talk to. So Meng Yang fulfilled his duties very faithfully and took charge personally.
When Meng Yang saw a group of carriages approaching the city gate from a distance, Meng Yang couldn't help but frown.
Just looking at the size of the motorcade, you can tell that the identity of the person on the carriage must be unusual. If this person were placed in the capital, he must be a high-ranking official that they cannot afford to offend.
It's a pity that in this county town, Meng Yang doesn't have anything to worry about. No matter what, he is just a local tycoon at most. He really is not afraid of the other party.
A steward of the Qiao family stepped forward and recognized Meng Yang's unusual status among these soldiers at a glance. He quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed and said: "Master, what's wrong with this city gate?"
It was closed suddenly. My master is planning to leave the city, so I hope the military master can be accommodating."
As he spoke, the steward thrust a silver ingot weighing twelve pounds into Meng Yang's hand.
Ten taels of silver ingots, this is not a small amount. It can be said that the steward's action is quite generous. Generally speaking, if you take so much silver, the soldiers will definitely be more generous.
The steward looked at Meng Yang with a smile on his face, as if waiting for Meng Yang to nod and agree.
However, Meng Yang glanced at the steward and put away the silver ingot. The steward was overjoyed when he saw this. However, the next moment, Meng Yang shook his head with a cold face and said: "Go away, I didn't see the city gate."
Has it been sealed off yet? Let your master go back to his hometown. If you want to leave Yuyao County, you can wait until the city gate opens before leaving."
The steward had no idea that Meng Yang had taken money but was not doing anything, and was being so rude. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and he looked at Meng Yang in disbelief.
Meng Yang accepted 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 what I said?"
The steward came to his senses and was startled by Meng Yang. He quickly turned around and ran towards the carriage.
Qiao Songnian watched from a distance. Although he couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the steward and Meng Yang from a distance, he could clearly hear Meng Yang's last words.
When he heard the word "Go", Qiao Songnian's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that it might not be that easy to leave the city today.
As expected, the steward soon ran over with a frustrated and angry look on his face and said to Qiao Songnian: "Master, I am incompetent. The officer took the money but did not do anything. He said that the city gate has been sealed and let us go back home."
Go, if you want to leave the city, wait until the city gate opens."
At this moment, Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, and Mao Shang also got off the carriage and came over.
Just when they heard the steward's words, the expressions of several people suddenly became gloomy, and they glanced at the defenders at the city gate 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 the people behind the uprising and arrest them. There is not much time left for us.
That’s a lot.”
After seeing the elite troops led by Lu Qing, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others no longer had much hope that they would arrange for the rebels to attack Li Huan and others. They only hoped to gain enough support for them.
Time lets them escape.
As long as they can escape from Yuyao County, even the Jinyi Guards will not be able to find them.
But the current situation is that they seem to be unable to even get out of Yuyao County. Now they are really trapped in the city.
Just as Xing Tai said, once Li Huan tortures them and finds out who are the masterminds behind the scenes, their captors will probably arrive soon.
In fact, Xing Tai and the others didn't know at all that Li Huan had taken local powerful people like them into consideration from the beginning, and even dug a pit waiting for them to jump in.
Li Huan didn't need to be tortured, because some of Xing Tai's and others' little actions were basically under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
Qiao Songnian frowned, his eyes full of exhaustion. He looked at the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate in front of him, and suddenly said fiercely: "Since they have blocked the city gate, let's rush out."
As he spoke, Qiao Songnian looked up at Xing Tai and the others and said: "Don't forget, everyone, we have no way out. Now we can only fight to the death and fight out of the city. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival. Otherwise, whoever is trapped will be trapped."
In the city, Li Huan will be caught sooner or later."
Xing Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's give it a try. If Li Huan doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will fight for a way to survive ourselves."
Xing Tai's eyes turned to Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and others.
Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and others also nodded at Xing Tai without hesitation and said in unison: "Now we are just grasshoppers on a rope. We just have to tell you what we want to do."
Qiao Songnian said fiercely: "Gather the servants from each family, and then we all kill the soldiers guarding the city together, open the city gate, and escape from the city."
Cao Zhen, Mao Shang and others were obviously mentally prepared, so when they heard Qiao Songnian say such words, there was no look of surprise on their faces.
Cao Zhendang even nodded and said: "Okay, all the servants of my Cao family can be sent out."
Mao Shang said: "There are also my Mao family. Aren't they just dozens of soldiers? There are not as many servants as any of our families. There are so many of us. Isn't there anything we can do against these dozens of soldiers?"
After listening to Mao Shang's words, everyone looked at the group of soldiers blocking their way. Their eyes no longer had panic and fear, but instead showed a bit of murderous intent.
The few of them looked at each other, went back, and then arranged for each family's servants to be ready to attack the city defenders.
It only took a while, but a few servants of about two to three hundred people were already ready.
These servants are the confidants of each family. It can be said that the same master's family is both prosperous and devastated. Even if they work hard for the safety of the master's family, few of them will frown.
When so many strong servants were gathering together indistinctly and tending to approach them, Meng Yang and his soldiers who were guarding the city were not blind. How could they not notice that there was something wrong with so many people.
Meng Yang glanced at the servants gathered together, his expression immediately condensed, and he said in a deep voice to his subordinates: "Please be careful, there is something wrong with these people."
As an elite member of the army, he still had this sense of vigilance. Even without Meng Yang's orders, many soldiers subconsciously clenched their weapons and looked at the servants in the distance with caution.
Meng Yang took a step forward, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and shouted loudly: "The city gate is important, and the crowds are retreating. I have just said that the city gate will not be opened today, so why don't you leave quickly."
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to stay here if they were scolded like this by the officers and soldiers.
But when Meng Yang finished speaking, Qiao Songnian shouted loudly: "Come on, fight your way out of the city. I will reward you heavily!"
Qiao Songnian's loud shout was like a signal, and hundreds of servants were seen heading towards the city gate to kill.
"Kill!"
Many servants directly took out the hidden weapons, including daggers, waist knives, and even short sticks. Some servants without weapons took down sticks and the like from the stalls that were so frightened that there was no one in the distance, and then looked fanatical.
He rushed towards Meng Yang and other soldiers guarding the city gate.
When Meng Yang saw this situation, his expression immediately changed and he shouted to one of his men: "Go and inform the Lord immediately. There are rebels who intend to seize the city gate and escape from the city."
When the warrior heard this, he nodded immediately, got on his horse, and then galloped towards the servants.
The servants were stunned for a moment when they saw this. When they reacted and tried to stop him, they were greeted by a hail of arrows.
More than a dozen arrows fell, killing several people on the spot, and several people who were hit by arrows let out shrill wails.
Although these servants can be considered strong, and there are even a few nurses who can barely be considered third-rate experts, they are all ordinary people after all.
Many people may have never experienced such a life and death scene in their lives, so when a companion dies in front of them, many people are frightened at the time.
This is also a perfectly normal reaction for many normal people.
It was also when these people were stunned that the galloping warrior directly knocked away several servants blocking the front, and then slashed and killed several unlucky ones with his sword, and stunned the team of these servants.
, and rode away.
It was only then that Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others reacted after seeing this scene.
They didn't know exactly what the soldier was going to do when he charged out. It was obvious that he was going to ask for help.
There are only a few dozen soldiers guarding the city gate, and they still have some confidence in rushing out. But if these soldiers really come to help, with the servants and servants each family has maintained, to be honest, they can really
There is no hope of being able to escape.
It seems that they are just powerful people who live in the inland, no better than those maritime merchants who have maritime trade at home in the southeastern coastal areas.
You must know that those maritime merchants are really fierce. Every servant in the family has seen blood, and they have fought life and death with pirates, Japanese pirates and even their colleagues at sea.
The servants maintained by many merchant families are much more capable than the officers and soldiers.
If the Qiao family and the Xing family are all smuggling sea merchants, let alone the alliance of several families, I am afraid that the servants of any family can break through the defense of dozens of officers and soldiers like Meng Yang.
The city gate and rushed out of the city early.
Looking at the soldiers in the army who were gradually disappearing, Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others looked at each other, and heard Qiao Songnian shout: "Let everyone rush to me with all their strength, without delaying for a moment, otherwise
, no one can escape today."
As he spoke, Qiao Songnian stepped forward in person and shouted to the subdued servants: "Listen up, everyone, as long as you are able to fight your way out of the city today, I promise that each of you will be given three acres of fertile land and ten taels of farmland.
Patterned Silver.”
For example, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also made promises to their own servants, and also offered farmland and silver.
Qiao Songnian looked at Meng Yang and others who were blocking their way, gritted his teeth and said: "Anyone who can kill one of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded with an additional fifty taels of silver, and whoever kills two people will be rewarded with one hundred and ten taels of silver. That's not enough."
Capped.”
There were only more than fifty soldiers, and the maximum cost of a full fight was less than three thousand taels of silver. Compared with each of their families, which one of them had a net worth of tens of thousands of taels, it was really nothing to pay such a small amount of silver as a reward.
For people like Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai and others, the reward of fifty taels of silver per person is really not much, but for these servants, fifty taels of silver is simply an astronomical figure.
Suddenly, many people's breathing became rapid, and the eyes looking at Meng Yang and others were filled with a kind of madness and excitement.
It is a kind of greedy desire. Under the stimulation of money, even an honest person will become a madman.
Moreover, the rewards offered by Qiao Songnian and the others were too tempting. Whether it was acres of land or silver rewards, these were the things these servants longed for most in their lives. Originally, they had no hope in their lives, but now they are within reach.
.
In an instant, all the servants rushed towards Meng Yang and others with red eyes. As for the psychological impact of the death of their previous companions, how could it be worth the reward promise of Qiao Songnian and others.
Naturally, the expressions of Meng Yang and others changed greatly, but looking at the people rushing up, Meng Yang roared with evil spirit: "Brothers, follow me to kill, your Lord's reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive,
We will win."
Xing Tai, Qiao Songnian and others shouted loudly from behind: "Kill them all. If you kill them all, I will reward you heavily!"
Especially Qiao Songnian stood directly on a carriage and shouted loudly.
Suddenly the morale of the servants and servants was high.
However, at this moment, an arrow shot through the air and hit Qiao Songnian's head. The arrow penetrated into the back of Qiao Songnian's head and came out directly from his mouth.
Qiao Songnian had a look of disbelief on his face, and then the body fell directly from the carriage with a thud.
Cao Zhen was climbing on top of the carriage in a similar manner. As soon as he stood upright, before he could speak, Cao Zhen felt a burst of sound in the air, followed by severe pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw that an arrow had been fired.
Pierced 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 doubt flashed through his heart, and Cao Zhen's figure also fell from the carriage.
Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen were killed on the spot by the incoming arrows. Not only Xing Tai, Zheng Buyer, Mao Shang and others were dumbfounded, but also those whose morale was high under Qiao Songnian's encouragement.
The servants who attacked the military formation also noticed this scene.
Almost half of the servants were confused by this turn of events.
My master died like this, so do they still want to continue charging? And who killed my master?
As soon as I had such an idea in my mind, I saw dozens of riders approaching, all of them were guards in brocade robes. These guards held strong crossbows in their hands and embroidered spring knives on their waists. The leader of them was a man with an excited look on his face.
The lustful Chen Yao.
"Hahaha, my lord is indeed right. You people must have wanted to go out of the city when the opportunity came. It's better to come early than to come by chance. Brothers, follow me and kill. Don't let the brothers of Tengxiang Zuowei see our
joke."
A group of royal guards fired their powerful crossbows, and with a burst of sound piercing the air, dozens of servants fell into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
Meng Yang and other soldiers on the left guard of Tengxiang, who were trying to resist the attack of these servants at the city gate, immediately became energetic when they saw this situation.
This is reinforcements coming. Although they are not their own brothers, the people from Jinyiwei are also reinforcements.
Meng Yang laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, brothers, did you hear that? The brothers from the Jinyiwei are here. They are all fighting for me. Don't let anyone underestimate us."
Originally, it was quite difficult for these servants to attack the military formation. If there had been no outside interference, they would have paid a heavy price to break up the military formation and find a way out.
However, when Chen Yao was ordered to arrive with the Jin Yiwei, he shot and killed Qiao Songnian and Cao Zhen, which was equivalent to giving these servants a blow in the head, almost knocking them unconscious.
And with the addition of Jin Yiwei, under attack from both front and back, all the servants had never suffered such a scene and impact, and they collapsed immediately.
Any silver reward or fertile land must be taken with a life.
Previously, seeing that his family was numerous and powerful, and coupled with the temptation of a silver reward, he took a gamble, as long as he was not the one who died.
But now the situation is different. Any fool can see that with the arrival of Jin Yiwei, they have no hope at all. If they try their best now, they will be a fool.
"Run away!"
Someone shouted loudly and immediately ran away. As for the relatives of the Cao family, Xing family, and Qiao family who are still in the carriage, who has time to care about them at this moment? I don’t know if I can survive.
Woolen cloth.
Seeing this scene, Xing Tai and Mao Shang couldn't help but look desperate.
Zheng Buyer sighed loudly: "It's over, it's all over!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
There was another burst of arrows, and the servants who turned around and ran away fell to the ground.
Meng Yang and others only chased them for more than a dozen feet and then took the initiative to retreat and continued to defend the city gate to prevent accidents. Chen Yao led the royal guards on horseback to chase and kill these servants.
Soon, except for a very small number of servants who went into hiding, 89% of the rest were killed by Chen Yao's men.
When Chen Yao and his men controlled Xing Tai, Mao Shang, Zheng Buer and their families, Meng Yang and several of his men came forward to thank Chen Yao.
"Thank you for arriving in time, brother. Otherwise, we may not be able to withstand the impact of so many people."
Chen Yao smiled when he heard this and said: "If you want to thank me, let's thank my lord. If my lord hadn't sent us here as soon as we dealt with the chaos, we wouldn't have been able to arrive in such a timely manner."
As he spoke, Chen Yao cupped his hands towards Meng Yang and said, "Brother, Chen is going to take these people to return his life to your lord."
Meng Yang also raised his hand towards Chen Yao.
Here Li Huan handed a list of names to Lu Qing and said: "Commander Lu, these are the powerful families of Yuyao who participated in the rebellion this time. You should immediately send a part of your troops to accompany the Jinyi Guards to ransack the homes and seize the people."
Although the Jin Yiwei brought by Li Huan had been used to the limit by him, the Jin Yiwei who had gone out to keep an eye on several houses still sent back the news, letting Li Huan know immediately that Xing Tai, Mao Shang and others had taken the opportunity.
The core members of the family are preparing 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, Commander-in-Chief, the general will definitely capture everyone without missing a beat."
Li Huan smiled and said, "I trust Commander Lu."
Lu Qing soon summoned several of his trusted generals, and then gave some instructions. After a while, several teams left with more than a dozen Jin Yiwei.
There are soldiers from Tengxiang Zuowei to arrest people, and people from Jinyiwei are watching the house raids. Even if the hands and feet of some soldiers may be unclean by then, it is inevitable that they will come and go, but with the people from Jinyiwei there, it will not matter.
Don't worry about any big problems.
Of course, what's more important is that compared to the Xie family, Xing family, and Mao family, they are just ordinary local tycoons. Unlike the large merchants in the southeastern coastal areas, each of them has a rich family and can easily steal dozens of dollars.
Millions of taels of gold and silver came out.
As for the Xing family and the Mao family, in Li Huan's opinion, it was not bad for each family to confiscate tens of thousands of taels of silver.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats. Li Huan, Lu Qing and others looked up and saw Lin Pingzhi rushing over with several Jinyi guards.
Turning over and dismounting, Lin Pingzhi said to Li Huan: "Your Excellency, we have found the Yuyao County Magistrate, and my subordinates have told him your order."
Li Huan nodded slightly, glanced around, and noticed something was 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?"
After hearing this, Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath, nodded, and then told Li Huan in detail about all the abnormalities he had seen with the Yuyao County Magistrate.
Lu Qing on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with great certainty: "There is definitely something wrong with this Yuyao County Magistrate. A county official like him is so arrogant and ruthless that he never cares about our official rank. How can he give it to us?"
We smile, but if you greet someone with a smile, you must have bad intentions."
Although Lu Qing's words were a bit absolute, they also represented the norm of this era.
Although it is not as serious as in the late Ming Dynasty for civil servants to look down on military commanders, it is not as simple as showing signs of it. It can be said that it is a quite common phenomenon for civil servants to look down on military commanders.
It can be said that if a civil servant interacts with a military general based on their rank, he will definitely be ridiculed by his colleagues.
It is absolutely normal for the seventh-rank county magistrate to look down upon 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 royal guard beside him: "Bring Xie Di!"
As the local gangsters of Yuyao County, the Xie family may not be clear to others about Yuyao County Magistrate Yan Kai, but Xie Di, one of the principals of the Xie family, definitely knows everything.
Soon Shady 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 had the kind of mentality of breaking things, and even the family's treasure house was honestly explained. At this moment, Li Huan was just asking about Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao County, and Xie Di naturally
It means telling everything you know.
Although he said he was puzzled, Xie Di still replied: "Sir, Yan Kai has no ambitions. Most of the affairs in the county government are handled by his subordinates, while he mostly hides in his mansion.
Although pleasure does not harm the people very much, it definitely belongs to corrupt officials."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "Then why do you think he harbors murderous intentions towards the people of Jinyiwei?"
Xie Di was stunned for a moment, with a look of contemplation on his face, but soon Xie Di seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Huan and others with a strange expression.
Noticing the change in Xie Di's expression, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but said: "Tell me, what's going on? When I saw Yan Kai, I always felt that the way he looked at me was wrong, full of hostility and murderous intent."
Xie Di glanced at Lin Pingzhi and others and said, "If I am not mistaken, Yan Kai must have known about the news that you killed his only son."
Li Huan and Lin Pingzhi both looked puzzled when they heard this. When did they kill the county magistrate's son?
Xie Di said slowly: "Yan Kai has only one son. Such a single child can be treated as a lifeblood and sent to the county school..."
"County school!"
After listening to Xie Di's words, whether it was Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi or some of the Jin Yiwei beside them, there were strange looks on their faces.
They had killed dozens of county school students before. Could it be that among them was Yan Kai, the son of the county magistrate? If so, then everything can be explained.
It was precisely because they killed Yan Kai's only son that Yan Kai hated their Jin Yiwei so much that he harbored murderous intentions.
Xie Di saw the expressions of Li Huan and others in his eyes and said: "The death of Yan Kai's son is equivalent to the death of his empress. According to me, he will not give up 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 away.
Li Huan glanced at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Pingzhi, in your opinion, how should we deal with this Yan Kai?"
Lin Pingzhi said without hesitation: "Of course I will kill him to avoid future troubles."
Lin Pingzhi said: "We killed someone's only son and exterminated their queen, so the hatred will be great. Besides, as Xie Di just said, Yan Kai is not a good official either.
Even if you kill him, it doesn't mean you have wronged him."
As he spoke, Lin Ping looked at Li Huan eagerly, as if he wanted to ask for orders.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise in the distance, which immediately attracted Li Huan, Lin Pingzhi, and Lu Qing to look over.
So many people have died here, it can be said that the ground is covered with corpses. The people around have been so scared that they have closed their doors tightly, and they dare not take a step out of the door. The whole street is quiet, like ghosts.
Someone came over at this moment, and it was 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 other person's identity at a glance.
Li Huan also saw clearly the official uniform of a seventh-grade county magistrate that the visitor was wearing. Needless to say, the only one in Yuyao County who could wear the official uniform of a seventh-grade county magistrate was Yan Kai, the magistrate of Yuyao County.
Even Li Huan has become somewhat interested in Yan Kaisheng. The other party should have gone to recruit civilian husbands at this moment. However, considering that the other party's son died and he hated them to death, so now he appears in
It's not too strange here, maybe they are here for revenge.
The person who came was none other than Yan Kai. The twenty or thirty people following Yan Kai were all his servants. In addition, the butler Tang Ren, a group of twenty or thirty people, were pushing several carts filled with food.
Jars of fine wine came squeaking toward Li Huan and the others.
The leader, Yan Kai, walked into the long street and saw the corpses on the long street at a glance. The first time he saw these corpses, Yan Kai was startled, with a look of horror on his face.
He thought that Li Huan asked him to recruit officers and civilians 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 peasants have been summoned.
How could a mere dozen county school students need to summon civilians, but why are there so many corpses of civilians here?
While feeling horrified in his heart, Yan Kai only had one opinion of Li Huan, and that was the murderous butcher.
Those are all ordinary people. Even if he, the father-in-law, kills a few people, it's fine. But if the number becomes too large, his head will be lost.
But Li Huan killed hundreds or thousands of people.
Madman, butcher, murderer, Yan Kai thought of his son who was also killed by Li Huan, and the hatred in his heart was evoked by these corpses.
I don't know where my son's body is now. Is it just like the corpses of these common people, just thrown in the corner so casually, with no one to collect the body.
Yan Kai relied on the hatred in his heart to hold on and was not frightened by these corpses, but all the servants, including Tang Ren, were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they could barely hold on to the car.
.
Yan Kai noticed the fearful looks on the faces of these servants, snorted coldly, then glared at Tang Ren fiercely, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Huan and others in the direction of Xie Mansion from a distance.
After calming down, Yan Kai winked at Tang Ren, put a smile on his face, and strode towards Li Huan and others.
As he walked past the corpses, Yan Kai seemed not to notice the miserable corpses on the ground, as if he only saw Li Huan and others.
From the moment they saw Yan Kai, Li Huan and others were sizing up Yan Kai.
Yan Kai's appearance is not bad. He is dressed in official clothes and looks a bit powerful. At first glance, he really looks like a competent official.
With a distance of tens of feet, it is said that ordinary people cannot clearly see the expression changes 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 was far beyond that of ordinary people. He could clearly see the texture of leaves dozens of feet away, not to mention the change in the expression on Yan Kai's face.
Seeing Yan Kai walking over with a smile on his face, Li Huan chuckled and said: "This Yan Kai does have a problem. Look, if he, a local county magistrate, saw so many corpses of people suddenly appear under his rule,
It will definitely be extremely shocking, but apart from the smile, there is no sign of shock or anger on this person’s face.”
Lin Pingzhi said: "Sir, do you want me to take it down?"
Li Huan glanced at the several carts in the distance that were struggling to move forward because of the corpses on the ground, and said with a smile on his lips: "There's no rush."
While he was talking, 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 hint of 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: "I am going to be the magistrate of Yuyao County, Yan Kai, to pay my respects to the Grand Tutor."
Just looking at Yan Kai's reaction, he was as respectful as possible. If you didn't know the other person's details, you would really be confused by his humble gesture.
Li Huan looked down at Yan Kai and suddenly said: "County Magistrate Yan, do you know your guilt?"
Yan Kai couldn't help but be startled, his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously thought that his son's identity had been known to Li Huan.
Just as Yan Kai was secretly guessing, Li Huan's voice rang in his ears: "I heard that Magistrate Yan has a son named Yan Lu who is studying in the county school..."
Yan Kai reacted immediately. When he heard Li Huan mention his son's name personally, it was obvious that Li Huan had already investigated his details clearly.
Yan Kai immediately raised his head and looked at Li Huan, and saw Li Huan looking at him indifferently, as if he was talking about ordinary things.
Now that he had been seen through, Yan Kai no longer pretended, and immediately roared at Li Huan with a look of hatred: "Butcher, you butcher, how could my son be so innocent? You actually killed them, Lu'er is my only son.
Ah. You want me, Yan Kai, to die from now on..."
Li Huan glanced at Yan Kai lightly and said: "If I had not wronged your son, your son would have raped women, even killed husbands, and taken away wives in more than one incident. A scum like him,
You deserve it if you kill him."
Since Yan Kai knew that Li Huan already knew that Yan Lu was his son, it would not be difficult to find out the crimes committed by his son with the ability of Jin Yiwei.
Yan Kai did not defend himself, but looked at Li Huan bitterly and said: "Li Huan, if you kill my own son and cut off my heirs, I will drag you with me even if I die."
Li Huan pointed to the wine jars on the carts in the distance with disdain and said, "If you are counting on 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 reliance.
You must know that his plans are only known to Tang Ren and a few few servants. Each of them is an old man who has been with him for more than ten or twenty years and can definitely be believed.
At this moment, Li Huan said to Yan Kai with a smile but not a smile: "Master Yan, you might as well look back."
After listening to Li Huan's words, Yan Kai suddenly felt something bad in his heart for some reason, but he immediately turned his head and looked behind him.
