Chapter 039 Murder
Lin Zimo and Zhang Chi were not oppressive, so he took Chu Erlang's team and left the county government office. He has been thinking about a way out for a long time. This retreat is not for themselves, but for Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu. After all, the time they came to this world was too short. He doesn't want them to die like this.
If they die like that, Lin Zimo will feel sorry for the two. After all, the three of them are at least husband and wife. In addition to his selfishness, he still wants to stick to Pingnan County, but he can't guarantee that he will be able to keep it. If the city is broken by the rebels, he will let Chu Erlang's team open a bloody road and take them to escape together. And I will definitely give an explanation to the people of Pingnan City: survive with the city.
Lin Zimo led this ten-person team to his house. He asked Chu Erlang to accompany himself in, while the others stayed outside the door and waited. The two walked in one after the other. Lin Zimo did not let his mother disturb the others at home, but told her to do what she should do. She wanted to ask about the situation outside the city, but she held back her mouth.
Lin Zimo saw that there was no one around, took Chu Erlang's left wrist, and said in a low voice, "I have something to ask you."
Chu Erlang had a strange heart and said seriously, "Your Excellency, if you have anything, just tell me to do it."
"If you really can't keep our Pingnan County, then you can take Yang Mengqi, your little sister and your family to escape." Lin Zimo said earnestly, "Remember what I said and don't mention it to anyone."
I never thought that Chu Erlang on this level was shocked. His eyes opened and looked at him like a cow's eyes. He said solemnly, "If we all run away." So what will you do?
"Don't worry about me. As long as you do what I say. As for other things, don't ask too much. Lin Zimo shook his wrist hard and said, "If Yang Mengqi wants to do something stupid, you must persuade her. I know she has a strong nature, so you can knock her out and take her away by force.
Chu Erlang, who suddenly understood, knew that he was going to defend Pingnan County. His heart is not only full of sincere admiration for Lin Zimo, but also mixed with infinite emotion. He thinks he has been impeccable both as an official and as a head of the family. He did his best for the people of the city and the court. He showed all the care for his family.
Chu Erlang, who was moved to tears, knelt down on his knees and hugged his fists and said, "I will definitely complete your explanation."
Lin Zimo helped him up with both hands, and his expression was full of extreme helplessness and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into his north room, took off the sword hanging on the wall and walked out. He didn't want to explain the afterlife to them, so as not to make the two women sad. In that case, I will not be able to get out of the house. Lin Zimo and Chu Erlang readjusted their mood, and then hurriedly walked outside the gate and took nine righteous braves to check the situation on the street.
The people who had heard the wind for a long time rushed back home and closed the doors of each house. They knew that they could not escape, so they had to wait for the news at home, and the only thing that gratified them was that there was a good official like Lin Zimo who could lead the crowd to stick to the city.
The street is surprisingly quiet and depressed, and the ground is scattered with all kinds of debris. Lin Zimo and Chu Erlang's team are patrols one street after another. When they walked to the east street of Pingnan County, they actually saw three young men robbing a bank. Lin Zimo, who did not hesitate for a moment, ordered Chu Erlang to take down the three robbers.
And these three robbers wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they didn't expect to be caught by Lin Zimo. The robbers saw that Chu Erlang was crowded and surrounded the exit of Qianzhuang, so that they could not escape, so they threw away the murder weapon in their hands one after another, knelt down and begged for mercy without resistance, and said nonsense like 'I was confused for a while'.
Lin Zimo, who stepped forward, looked at the three robbers and sighed, "What do you think I should do?"
"Lord, spare your life." They kowtowed to him and begged for mercy.
"If you are guilty on weekdays, you will not die. However, you know what's going on outside the city, and you still dare to do what to do. Therefore, I can't keep some of your scourges in the city. After saying that, Lin Zimo quickly pulled out the long sword in his hand and stabbed one of the robbers in the lower abdomen.
'Ah...' scream made the robber who held Lin Zimo's sword in both hands distorted his face and fell into a pool of blood in extreme pain. For him who killed for the first time, he did not feel that he wanted to vomit, his face was pale, his whole body twitched, his eyes were distracted, he was extremely afraid and so on. Instead, he felt that his heart was surprisingly happy.
The other two robbers saw the long sword that was still dripping blood in Lin Zimo's hand. They were so scared that they kowtowed to him desperately for mercy. Their foreheads were already bloody, but Lin Zimo did not move at all. Instead, he waved the sword in his hand again and stabbed the heart of one of them.
With a harsh scream, the second robber slowly fell to the ground sideways. Lin Zimo, who was no longer afraid at all, slowly pulled out the long sword inserted in his heart. He looked at the long sword and felt very happy. I didn't expect the feeling of killing would be so wonderful.
The robbers kneeling on the ground knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so they stood up quickly and wanted to run out, but they were hit on the back by Lin Zimo's backhand sword. The pain made him shout 'ah' and fell forward. His hands crawled forward desperately, and his legs pedaled back hard. The third robber's instinctive response to survival soon received Lin Zimo's response of inserting a sword into his vest.
Lin Zimo, who killed three people in a row, slowly pulled out his sword and looked at Qianzhuang as usual and said, "Don't be afraid. These three evil people have been punished as they deserve.
The shopkeepers and guys of Qianzhuang have long been not afraid of the robbers just now, but extremely afraid of Lin Zimo in front of them. When they saw him kill, they not only didn't blink, but also had a slight smile on his face.
Lin Zimo, who saw that they had not come out, carefully looked at the places where they had hidden. At this look, he directly scared the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang, but the three men retreated in fear and terrified.
Except for those people in Qianzhuang who were shocked, Chu Erlang and other ten people were still touched. They absolutely didn't expect that they usually looked like a lily forest, and they were not soft at all to kill people. Nowadays, the boldest of the ten people has no longer dare to look directly into Lin Zimo's eyes for a moment.
Lin Zimo, who felt that everything was as usual, wiped his long sword with the clean cloth worn by the three bodies lying on the ground. I have done what I should have done, so I have no intention to stay here and continue to wait for these parties to come out and ask questions.
After Lin Zimo returned the long sword to its sheath, he shouted at Qian Zhuang: "Let's go first. Please take care of these three bodies for me. If anyone asks about this, you can tell the truth.
He, who didn't wait for them to reply, turned around and led Chu Erlang and others to leave. Lin Zimo continued to check the streets that had not been inspected. Thinking back on what just happened, he began to doubt whether he would be a natural murderer. After all, normal people should not have such a reaction.
Lin Zimo, who toured all the streets, was not eager to return to the north wall, but went to the south wall defended by Wang Pengfei. He wants to observe the situation outside the city in person to feel at ease, so that they will not be attacked by the enemy.
As soon as he reached the top of the city, Wang Pengfei brought someone to greet him and said, "Why did you come in person?"
"I can't rest assured, so come and have a look." Lin Zimo did not beat around the bush, but said straight.
"There hasn't been any abnormality on my side yet." Wang Pengfei said truthfully, "It seems that the rebels are only coming from the north."
Lin Zimo looked out of the city and said seriously, "I didn't find the enemy on your side. I want to calm down."
Wang Pengfei vowed, "Don't worry. With my Wang Peng here, the south side of Pingnan County will not be lost.
"You can't be careless. After all, the lives of the people in the city are in our hands." Lin Zimo repeatedly told him.
Wang Pengfei promised him that he would repeatedly pat his chest. Lin Zimo observed the situation outside the city very carefully and did not find any changes. He turned around and inspected his government army accompanied by Wang Pengfei. Except for saying something to encourage them, Lin Zimo did not tell them the truth. After all, he was worried that it would affect their morale and fighting spirit.
Seeing that Chu Dalang came over, he quickly stepped forward and said, "My brother-in-law, I'm really bored here. Send kindness and let me go to your side to cut off the heads of a few enemies for drinking.
Lin Zimo smiled faintly and said, "You'd better stay here honestly."
Chu Erlang, who had just finished watching his murder not long ago, hurriedly interrupted: "Lord Lin, you can do whatever you want." Don't talk so much nonsense. You don't want to call your brother-in-law anymore, but you should call him Lord Lin.
"Eh... second, you are getting more and more angry." Chu Dalang said unhun happily, "If you want to order me, it depends on whether you have real ability. Don't be so scared that you can pee in your pants.
