Chapter 9 Tell me directly, how many people are you going to kill?
"My lord, last night, Xia Guan and Ye Dianshi finally explored the nest of the gang of thieves through clues, and after a fierce battle, they recovered the silver!"
Zhang Yan's face was very excited, no matter what he really thought in his heart, but at least, on this surface effort, he still performed very well.
Lin Nuo looked around, behind Zhang Yan and Ye Dianshi, a group of fast catchers stepped forward with large boxes one by one, and put the heavy boxes in front of the county office.
"Zhang Xiancheng can find out, who dares to rob the military salary?"
Lin Nuo stepped forward, opened one of the boxes, and after seeing the white flowers and silver inside, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Lord Huizhi County, that thief is not someone else, it is Li Mo, the chief bookkeeper of our Shanyin County!"
Dead friends don't die poor, anyway, Li Mo is dead, and he won't come out to argue anything, so Zhang Yan unceremoniously put all the charges on Li Mo's head.
"Then where is Li Mo now?" Seeing that the military salary had been recovered, the guerrilla general Pang De finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and only then did he care about the whereabouts of the person who robbed the salary.
"After Li Mo learned that the matter was revealed, a family of four committed suicide by hanging themselves at home!"
Zhang Yan beckoned behind him, and suddenly, several catchers came over carrying several stretchers, on which the bodies of Li Mo's family of four were really placed.
These four corpses have been changed into clothes, and there is no trace of mud on their bodies, and for the sake of realism, there are indeed extremely obvious strangulation marks between the necks of the four people, and laymen will subconsciously feel that the other party has indeed hanged himself to death!
Lin Nuo's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan a few more times, this Zhang Yan does have some ability, it seems that in the second half of the night, he has really done a lot of preparations!
"It is really appalling and unbelievable that he colludes with bandits to rob military salaries!"
Lin Nuo took a deep breath, made a surprised look, and then put on an angry look, and said, "Zhang Xiancheng, the thieves under Li Mo's subordinates, have they been completely ambushed?"
"Don't worry, the thieves under Li Mo's command have all been killed!"
"Really?" Lin Nuo showed a look of disbelief, "There are only more than thirty thieves, how dare he rob the military salary, are there any accomplices outside who have not been caught?"
Hearing Lin Nuo's slightly cold words, Zhang Yan's expression was a little stiff, he already understood what the other party meant, this ruthless magistrate wanted to take advantage of the robbery of military salaries to clean up all kinds of forces in Shanyin County.
"What your lord said is extremely true, the bandits killed by the lower officials are just thieves in Li Mo's mansion, and in other places, there must be other thieves lurking, what to do next, please make it clear!"
Lin Nuo pondered for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the somewhat restrained guerrilla general Pang De on the side, "General Pang, this county will go all out to eliminate Li Mo's remnants next, and the general still needs to cooperate in this matter!"
"Lord Zhixian is polite, it is within the scope of my Shanyin garrison to eliminate the thieves who rob the army's salary!"
Pang De was very polite, he had just received the news that the military salary had been robbed, and this Lin Zhixian had already recovered the military salary, not to mention the other party's status in the civilian group, just this thunderous method was not something he could provoke.
"Lord Lin, the matter of suppressing bandits cannot be delayed, or Lao Pang will go back with the silver first?
"Then it's troublesome for the general!" Since the other party was so upright, Lin Nuo's attitude was also a little softer.
After Pang De and the others left with the silver, Zhang Yan glanced left and right, stepped forward and whispered in Lin Nuo's ear: "My lord, the eighty thousand taels of silver in those boxes are a lot, and as for your twenty thousand taels, the lower officials will send someone to your mansion later!"
Lin Nuo hummed, and then stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Yan and Ye Dianshi to enter the county hall to talk.
"This time to recover the military salary, Zhang Xiancheng and Ye Dianshi have made great contributions, when you play the imperial court, this official will not forget you!" After the three of them sat down in turn, Lin Nuo said directly.
"Your Excellency is polite, this time the bandits can be completely successful, thanks to your arrangement, my lord, the lower officials dare not take credit!"
Lin Nuo smiled and shook his head, "There is no need to say polite words, next, Lord Xiancheng should understand what this official is going to do, right?"
"Xiaguan understands, my lord, just say it, how many people are you going to kill?" Zhang Yan had already understood Lin Nuo's style, so he was no longer ambiguous, and directly asked how many people he wanted to kill.
Zhang Yan's opening directly startled Ye Dianshi, who didn't know what was going on, is this going to kill?
"Three hundred!"
Lin Nuo stretched out three fingers, "You are the head snake here, which people should be killed and which ones should not be killed, there shouldn't be any need for this official to point them out to you one by one, right?"
"On the second day after this official took office, there were local underworld forces who robbed military salaries, and they dared to do such crazy things, which shows how rampant the underworld forces in Shanyin County have been!"
"In this operation, the official has only one request: to deal with it severely and strictly!"
"If you can catch it or not, you can catch it directly! If you can kill it or not, you can kill it directly!"
Zhang Yan swallowed his saliva, his lips were furrowed for a moment, and after a while, he asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, if you kill too hard, will it cause the dissatisfaction of the adults above?"
"This is not something you need to care about, the above matters will naturally be handled by the official, you just need to do your own thing!"
Will killing too many people cause dissatisfaction among the officials of the imperial court?
Lin Nuo said there is no need to worry at all.
What did Hongji send him to San'in Prefecture for?
I'm here to do something!
With Shanyin County as a breakthrough, such a nail will be planted in the entire southwest region, and the project will be piloted for the land reform and return to the river in the future.
Hongzhi is not afraid that he will do things in this Sanyin County at all, but he is afraid that he will be driven back in disgrace within a few days of taking office, which is to lose the face of the imperial court.
Moreover, this time, Lin Nuo took advantage of the military salary to be robbed and suppressed by the bandits, and to eliminate the remnants of the robbers, even the other Tusi in the southwest Yunnan-Guizhou region did not dare to say anything on the surface.
After all, Li Mo, as a local official, directly robbed the military salary, which was already a taboo in the imperial court, and it was too late for the other toasts to be busy clearing up the relationship, who would dare to make up for this kind of fire pit?
Zhang Yan and the others nodded with serious faces, they knew that with the help of this strike hard operation, they would make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and if they killed a group of people, they would kill a group of people, and in the future, it was estimated that the entire Shanyin County would become Lin Nuo's hall, even if there were several other big toasts in the county, I am afraid they would not dare to fight against him anymore!
