Chapter 109 Statement
Lin Zimo, who stepped out of the gate of the magistrate, stood on the platform outside the door and saw a group of people shouting under the stairs. He looked around coldly, and he really looked down on this group of mob in his heart. Wang Qiang and Gao Xiang and others who came here were guards next to him, and the government officials who ran out of the government office looked a little nervous.
The catcher holding a water and fire stick hurried to Lin Zimo's side and softly reported, "Lord Lin, they are all from the Li family, and the leading man is Li Xian's cousin Wu Xiong. Relying on their family's people in Beijing, they dare to come here to put pressure on you. This is the main reason why successive governors of Xunzhou want to give Li Xian three points.
After listening to the story of the catcher, Lin Zimo felt that this kind of thing should not have happened for the first time, and it must have happened many times in the past years. Inadvertently, a unique strange smile appeared on his face again. He was not in a hurry to suppress them, but chose to salute first and then soldiers. He knew that once he gave the order, there would be a river of blood here.
"Take a few people to inform Zhao Qianhu, Fang Qianhu and Qianqianhu, as well as Chu Erlang and Wang Pengfei." Lin Zimo, who did not intend to let anyone go, ordered the catcher next to him, "Go back quickly."
At once, the catcher did not dare to neglect. He turned back to the government office, took his three men out from the side door, and then went separately to pass on Lin Zimo's order. They knew it was urgent, so they trotted all the way. Yesterday, Lin Zimo suddenly arrived with 500 officers and soldiers, and surrounded Li's house, which made them afraid to make a failure without any preparation. He didn't take all the people away, but only a few related people. My original intention was to control the whole matter within a certain range. After all, there are grievances and debts, and unrelated people choose to ignore it.
Early this morning, Wu Xiong, who was drunk, was still lying in the brothel prostitute**, was awakened by his confidant and told the fact that Li Xian and Li Bingzhong had been arrested. Without thinking much about him, he gathered most of the people in the city and all the clerks in Li's store and so on. My purpose is to exert influence on the magistrate as in the past.
Lin Zimo, who took the first two steps, stood in the position of going down the stairs and turned to them, saying coldly, "Do you want to rebel?"
"Some of us people dare not rebel, just for justice." Wu Xiong, who stood at the front, ordered the person he brought to calm down first, and then said with a chilly expression: "Your Excellency, you captured the local famous gentry for no reason yesterday, which made me unconvinced. This early morning, we came to the magistrate's office for nothing else, but just for you to give us an explanation. In our minds, their father and son are rare good people in this city.
"Li Xian and Li Bingzhong violated my Ming Dynasty." Lin Zimo, who understood that he was an excuse, dealt with it simply.
Wu Xiong, who originally intended to force unreasonable words, did not mean to distinguish between right and wrong and black and white, so he said in a threatening tone, "I still hope that the magistrate will release the person as soon as possible, otherwise we will not agree."
As soon as his words fell, the group of people behind him shouted again. Some of the people gathered up temporarily were just to pay for the tea after the event, and some were forced by Wu Xiong to come here to collect a number of people. A considerable number of them naively believed that nothing would happen in the past, so they believed that there would be no accident now.
Lin Zimo, who had no smile on his face, said without any hesitation and wavering: "People, I can't let go of anyone. However, I advise you to break up as soon as possible. At that time, it's not that you don't agree, but that I won't agree. If any of you don't believe in this evil, just try to test whether the knife in my hand is fast enough.
Wang Qiang and five others standing beside him neatly pulled out the steel knife around their waist and looked down blankly. Their knife drawing action immediately had a good deterrent effect. After all, the story of the Wolf Tooth Guard was blown away in the field. The group of people brought by Wu Xiong had heard of them, so their first reaction was to sit down the characters in the story. Today, they finally met a real person, and they looked particularly excited as if fans had seen their idols.
At a time when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhao Wenxuan, Qianhu, Fang Qianhu, Chu Erlang and Wang Pengfei each led the people to the governor's office as soon as possible. They surrounded all kinds of people brought by Wu Xiong. The group of people who dared not fight against the government at all suddenly felt in danger. After all, they remembered that Lin Zimo was a murderous official, and he only needed to say a word or a small gesture to kill all of them. Feeling that it was too late to regret, they had to ask the gods and Buddhas all over the sky to bless themselves to escape this disaster.
Lin Zimo, who stood with his hands behind his back, had an impulse to wash them with blood in his heart, but he was well aware of the trouble of the aftermath, so he forcibly restrained the surging murderous intention and said coldly, "What else do you want me to say to you?"
The group of people brought by Wu Xiong became silent in an instant. Not to mention whether the Wolf Tooth Guard has such a strong combat effectiveness, the comparison of the number of people alone is not the same number. The number of people on this side of the government is more than ten times that of them, and they are fully armed. Once the two sides take action, it will be a bloody massacre.
Lin Zimo, who did not intend to end this simply, will naturally not condone this kind of casual crowd gathering and noisy, and shouted, "I will give you another opportunity to reform. As long as you come forward to get 30 boards, you can go home. Otherwise, you should know what will happen. If you dare to come to my magistrate's office to make trouble, you must have come to die.
Wu Xiong didn't believe that he could kill people in broad daylight, so he walked up the ladder and wanted to fight back his own face and said, "Lord Lin, we are neither mountain thieves nor rebels, but all the people in Guiping City. If you really kill us, the court will investigate it and won't spare you.
Lin Zimo, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, had just said the word 'yes?' in his mouth and quickly grabbed the steel knife in Gao Xiang's right hand. Without any action pause, he directly pierced Wu Xiong's chest. He raised his foot, kicked the other party's lower abdomen, and pulled out the inserted blade. Wu Xiong, who didn't expect it at all, rolled down the steps and died.
"Don't know what's good or not. Just having so many of you bring weapons to my magistrate's office to make trouble is enough to cure you for a charge of rebellion. Lin Zimo, who finally chose not to open the killing ring, held a steel knife that was still dripping blood, stared at the people under the stage, and said harshly, "If any of you still doubt this house, then you can come and have a try. I really want to see whether your life is hard or my knife is hard.
As soon as his words fell, the peripheral officers and volunteers showed their blades one after another and put on a posture of preparing to attack. When they saw that the leading Wu Xiong had been killed, they suddenly realized that they had caused a big disaster. Everyone had been so scared that they no longer doubted Lin Zimo's words, so they quickly threw the guy in their hands to the ground and scrambled to receive the 30 boards. They are worried that if they slow down, they will end up like a Wu Xiong.
Lin Zimo returned the steel knife in his hand to Gao Xiang standing next to him, and then took a look at Wu Xiong lying on the ground and said blankly, "Damn it, there is a person who is looking for death who dares to come to the door of my house to take trouble. If anyone dares to continue to incite trouble, you can give me justice. Let them know whether the knife here is paper or iron.
He didn't care about the matter here anymore. He believed that his people could handle it well, so he turned around and walked in. After all, there were still a lot of business things waiting for him to deal with in the government office. Wang Qiang and others put the drawn steel knife back into the scabbard. They, who were used to it, did not feel any discomfort, and did not implicate the government officials. They were scared to death one by one. After all, it was the first time that they had seen a good-faced old man kill people as decisively as killing animals.
When he saw Xu Zhiyuan walking by Lin Zimo, he did not feel afraid, but felt that he was so heroic. He was so disgratic that he knew that they were both scholars, but the gap was too big. Soon, he suddenly fell into meditation. Wang Qiang, who still wanted to send him back to his original place, called him three times before Xu Zhiyuan came to his senses. Along the way, he asked Wang Qiang about Lin Zimo's deeds. After all, his inner worship of him arises spontaneously.
I really didn't take the man in front of him, Xu Zhiyuan, whose family was destroyed, seriously. He casually dealt with and said, "You can ask what you should ask, but don't ask what you shouldn't ask. After all, knowing too much is not good for you. As for my master's deeds, you'd better not ask.
The more Xu Zhiyuan saw that he didn't want to let himself know, the more he knew. He, who was not blocked by the other party's words, became thick-skinned and repeatedly entangled. If Wang Qiang hadn't been sorry for him, he would have knocked him out with a punch. I really feel that he talks a lot like a long-tongued woman. Wang Qiang, who couldn't resist him, had to tell Lin Zimo's glorious deeds one by one. Hearing Xu Zhiyuan's blood is boiling and his mood is high.
