Chapter Seventy-Nine: Extortion of a Million Taels

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come, bring the drummer!"

Li Yunzhong looked at the woman kneeling below, patted the shocked wood and said, "Who are you and what grievances do you have?" ”

Seeing the woman raise her head, Li Yunzhong was not calm for a moment, this woman was in her thirties, with a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with sleeves and a top, an emerald green smoke yarn loose flower skirt under it, a big bow tied with gold silk soft smoke around her waist, her sideburns hanging low and obliquely inserted into the jasper and phoenix hairpins, her face was full of tears, and the demon was glamorous and charming, and she frowned shyly.

The beautiful woman cried: "The slave family and her husband came out to buy cloth, and the evil young man Li Xiucai ** slave family in the east of the city, in order to protect the slave family, let the evil young entourage beat him to death!" The lord of the county is the master of the slave family, and the slave family is to be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of the adult. ”

Li Yunzhong said angrily: "In broad daylight, a woman from a good family beat your man to death, it's really unbearable, come here!" Arrest the evil young man Li Xiucai in the east of the city for me! ”

Hu Mengjun reminded: "General! There are three people in the four generations of the Li family in the east of the city, who are not only related to the capital and provincial cities, but also have people who speak in the imperial court! The general thinks twice. ”

Li Yunzhong said loudly: "He has a relationship with the emperor, and I will arrest him too." ”

It seems that the general's family is also very powerful in the court, I'm so stupid, I became a guerrilla at such a young age, can my family background be simple! Hu Mengjun instantly put his mind at ease and secretly laughed at himself for being troublesome.

Two quarters of an hour later, the four servants ran in with blue noses and swollen faces, crying: "The adults are the masters of the small, so the Li family not only did not hand over the prisoners, but also let the servants chase us with sticks......

Li Yunzhong laughed angrily, took out the short gun he carried with him, handed it to a servant, and ordered: "You take it to the east gate and hand it to a man named Zhong Lin, and ask him to bring fifty people to escort the prisoners of the Li family over, and if they resist, they will be killed!" ”

Wang Laohan dragged a young man into the hall and shouted, "It's him, my lord, it's he who cheated my money......"

The official who escorted the man behind him admired: "The adult is really wise, the little one chased the horse, and when he arrived at his house, this person was showing off at home, and even the money was piled up at home, and the human and material evidence was gathered." ”

Li Yun whispered to Hu Mengjun: "Does this person have any money in his family?" ”

Hu Mengjun looked at the man and replied, "His father monopolized the sale of livestock and meat in the city, and the family has at least 50,000 taels of silver!" ”

"Since there are all the human and material evidence, return the money to the old man first, and then take the prisoner into custody and behead him tomorrow!" Li Yunzhong announced the results.

Hu Mengjun reminded: "This person's guilt is enough for a few days at most, how can he be executed?" Did the general say something wrong? ”

Li Yunzhong said: "Mengjun! You're still too tender, and the troubled times use heavy codes, isn't it just the way it is now! Well, you don't have to persuade anymore, I have my own opinions. ”

Zhong Lin walked in vigorously, presented the musket to Li Yunzhong, and said respectfully: "Zhong Lin has completed the task, and I am here to give the order!" ”

Li Yunzhong took the pistol, this was a greeting gift from the American minister, and he couldn't lose it: "Bring the prisoner here!" ”

"You dog official still don't let me go, my third uncle is the head of the Ministry today, you wait, if you can be promoted, I will ...... Who are you? You're not Hu County's order! Hurry up and call that dog officer out, eat the gall of the ambitious leopard! Dare to arrest me. A man in his twenties, dressed in brocade, scolded and scolded, and did not take the court seriously.

Li Yunzhong sneered: "I didn't kneel when I saw this official!" This point is recorded in the account first, is it your **** woman? Beat her husband to death? ”

Li Xiucai raised his head arrogantly, yawned, and at a glance, he knew that he was addicted to smoking, and said, "It's this son, what do you want, shout!" Isn't this a little lady? It turns out that you are here, and this son is still sending people around to look for you! Don't worry, your husband is dead, and I'll accompany you......"

Li Yunzhong angrily reprimanded: "Bold, someone will pull him down and beat him for five ...... Thirty boards, put him in prison again, and behead him tomorrow! ”

I'm really afraid that this Li Xiucai won't be able to hold up the battle, so he reduced fifty to thirty.

The beautiful woman listened to the evil young man's cry, kowtowed, and said: "Lord Xie is the master of the slave family, and the slave family will repay the kindness of the adult!" ”

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come, bring the drummers up."

……

When the people heard that there was a big man in the county, who was in charge of the people, they came to watch, and some people tried to sue several rich people for illegal things, and Li Yunzhong brought them to justice, and the rich people were imprisoned, and the gangsters who had no money were put in prison and let them go, and more than 20 people were detained in just one morning.

"Yo! Isn't this Li Yuanwai? You're ...... He also went to the county government to ask about the crime? ”

"It turned out to be Brother Zhou, isn't it. I heard that a new magistrate came to the county and imprisoned my son, I just came back from the provincial capital, and the governor also told me to cooperate with the magistrate's administration, but I didn't expect this magistrate to come to such a hand! "Li Guoli is the father of Li Xiucai, the ** woman.

Zhou Di smiled: "That's a coincidence, I am also avenging my son, the old case four years ago, the former magistrate has already closed the case, this stunned son was convicted and put in prison." ”

The two met together, talked speculatively, and met several official gentry on the way, and went to the county government to ask for guilt in anger.

Hu Mengjun watched one after another evil young men who were beaten and crying for their mothers to be put in prison again, and he was completely numb.

"General, why are you so troubled, offending so many squires is very bad for your career!" The master felt that the disaster was too big, so he had the courage to come up and persuade him.

Li Yunzhong was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "Master, you are wrong, this is very beneficial to my 'career', I don't believe you wait and see." ”

The master came to Hu Mengjun and asked in a whisper, "What is the origin of this general?" Is it royalty? ”

Hu Mengjun said in a low voice: "Don't ask about this, the general has his own plans!" ”

Li Yunzhong sighed to himself: "This is still too slow!" Mengjun, what can you do to put all the family members in the city in prison? ”

Hu Mengjun is also a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is full of interest in making suggestions: "What excuse do you use, as long as the adults kid them up and post notices for the people to report, which one hasn't done anything illegal!" In this way, tens of thousands of taels of silver can also be extorted. ”

He had already seen Li Yunzhong's purpose, but it was just an excuse to let the big family pay the money to ransom people.

Li Yunzhong scolded with a smile: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver are still worth my personal departure?" Tell you, if they don't get away with it for a million taels of silver, I'll really kill someone!" Not kidding them. ”

Millions of taels! Hu Mengjun and the master looked at each other, feeling that Li Yunzhong was crazy.

"That's half of their net worth, wouldn't it be a crime to death to do so." Hu Mengjun is not afraid that the big households in the city will not give it, but he is worried that Li Yunzhong will not be able to win in the future.

Li Yunzhong thought proudly, and when the time came, he pushed the responsibility on Zeng Guofan, he got the silver, and the opponent got the responsibility, killing two birds with one stone.

"This kid is mine."

"Nonsense, this kid is obviously mine."

Two women scrambled to hold an infant child, walked to the lobby, knelt down and said, "Adults are the masters of the people's women!" ”

Li Yunzhong saw that these two women were not rich people, and asked boredly, "What grievances do you have?" ”

The woman on the left preemptively said: "She snatched the child of the people's woman, and took it for herself, and begged the adult to be the master of the people's wife!" ”

The woman holding the child on the right retorted: "Nonsense, obviously you want to shoot my child, please be the master of the people's wife!" ”

Li Yunzhong felt funny, and he still had to rob it if he was not his own, so he patted the shocked wood and asked, "What are the characteristics of this child?" Wait, you two talk separately! ”

The two officials each came to the woman's side and listened with their bows bowed.

"My lord, these two sisters-in-law say exactly the same!" The officials reported in unison.

Li Yunzhong suddenly lost interest and said, "You go back first, and come back tomorrow, the magistrate will naturally call the shots for you." ”
