Chapter 249 The Death of Two Brothers Li Shui and Li Jie
It is the rule of the Firearms Department to execute on the spot without trial.
This regulation is to prevent the disloyal chief officer or other officials participating in the interrogation from developing a different interest in firearms during the interrogation.
If the local chief official fails to obey orders, he will be severely held accountable.
The Li family has committed many evil deeds, and people like Luo Feiyao and Zhao Yan already hated the entire Li family until they saw the gunpowder.
Where can I hesitate at this moment, and where can I have the compassion to let the Li family go?
However, the Li family is really quite large, and there are really too many servants here. Is it possible that we really have to kill them all?
No matter how cruel Luo Feiyao and Zhao Yan were, they could not make such a decision.
The two looked at each other subconsciously, and both saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.
This matter is difficult to handle.
Seemingly seeing the reason for Zhao Yan's hesitation, Luo Feiyao's face hardened, and she suddenly stretched out her hand, pointed at Li Shui who was kneeling on the ground like a puppet, and ordered to the person behind him:
"Pull out and kill!"
There are many Li family members, so killing them all will definitely not work, but the Li Jie in front of him must be executed now.
Luo Feiyao is a "good girl" who abides by the law. She strictly follows the rules of the Firearms Department and will directly kill Li Shui without interrogating him.
"Yes, sir!"
The man simply gave a grin.
He stretched out his big hand, pinched Li Shui's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken.
Li Shui seemed to have just reacted at this moment, and was about to whine, but there was a click, and it turned out that this man had already predicted his next move.
He raised his left fist and hit him on the cheek, making him unable to even scream.
However, the vitality of a warrior is tenacious.
Li Shui was a warrior after all. Although he was a little older, he still struggled.
He was like an old tortoise whose back was pinched, spreading his limbs and waving around.
Who would have thought that ten minutes ago, he was leading everyone to talk and laugh, thinking about how the Li family would grow stronger under his own hands in the future.
Thinking that he had spent money and bought enough military merit to be promoted to the Bronze Skin Realm, his martial arts cultivation had also successfully broken through to the Bronze Skin Realm.
But in the blink of an eye, he was wiped out.
Now, people's heads are about to fall to the ground.
The gap is difficult for individuals to realize.
When Huang An entered the cellar, he happened to meet the man holding Li Shui.
Li Shui noticed Huang An's arrival, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he kept whining.
Until now, he still doesn't know that all of this was given to him by Huang An.
In his heart, the fate he fell into was entirely caused by the dead father and son Li An and Li Wei.
They harmed the entire Li family!
The man seemed to notice Huang An's doubtful gaze, and he quickly explained:
"Master Huang, Master Luo ordered me to kill this person!"
When Huang An heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up.
He guessed very accurately, so Luo Feiyao had already decided when it came to arranging a small task.
He suddenly bowed slightly, his face was level with Li Shui's, and then said with a look of regret:
"Master Li, why are you doing this? You dare to get your hands on firearms, how brave you are!"
Huang An showed a look of regret while holding out a thumb.
The tone was regretful, but considering the current situation, it was full of ridicule.
Li Shui's eyes turned red instantly, and the look of prayer in his eyes became more intense.
When facing death, some people will become hysterical, while others will remain silent and despair.
And some people will do the last thing for the people or things they care about.
Obviously, this is the case for Li Shui. In his life, family is the most important.
The honor, disgrace and survival of his family are more important than his own life.
It's a pity that he took a wrong path and took everything for granted.
The survival and honor of the family can be completely eliminated without such cruel exploitation.
Li Shui's current appearance is extremely miserable, which makes people feel unbearable.
However, Huang An did not look at him again. Instead, he straightened up, focused his eyes on the air in front of him, and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will personally send your children and grandchildren and your cousin Li Jie to reunite with you below!"
Huang An has passed that emotional age. Having experienced life and death, his heart is as hard as a rock.
Li Shui is pitiful, but there are more and more pitiful people in his hands.
He is crying and praying now, just thinking about surviving and that the Li family is still prosperous.
The prosperity of the Li family and his survival are based on the blood and tears of countless people in Feng'an City.
He must die, and the Li family must be destroyed!
Huang An's attitude was decisive, shattering Li Shui's last hope.
Li Shui's eyes were splitting, and he struggled even more vigorously. However, facing the restrictions imposed by the masters in the copper-skin realm, he had no ability to resist at all.
After "comforting" Li Jie, Huang An waved his hand towards the man.
"Go down! Kill him in front of all the clan leaders!"
"...."
The man's face was suffocated, and seeing Huang An coming for real, he quickly said:
"Yes, Mr. Huang!"
...
Two brothers, Li Shui and Li Jie, died quietly.
Of course, there was still some commotion.
It's just that compared to their status, they died in a cruel and humiliating way.
Li Jie was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries. In an empty bedroom, Chen Yu grabbed his head and twisted him three times. He died without anyone noticing.
Li Shui, whose upper and lower jaws were severely misaligned and whose legs were skeletal, was slapped on the Tianling Cap and died in front of the clan leaders.
Before he died, he didn't even utter a word of argument.
The death of Li Shui and the tragic situation of the Li family made all the heads and principals of the aristocratic family present stay silent.
They didn't even dare to speak loudly, so they could only stand quietly outside the cellar, waiting for Huang An's arrangements after they came out.
In the cellar, there are now only three people, Huang An, Zhao Yan and Luo Feiyao.
"According to the regulations of the imperial court, these things must be destroyed on the spot and no one can take them out!"
As a member of the Firearms Department, Luo Feiyao has the right and responsibility to participate in the affairs of the Li family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Among the three people present, she has as much say as Zhao Yan, and Huang An is the redundant one.
However, the two women made a tacit agreement not to let her go.
This is the shortcoming of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Huang An, a person with no official connections, was able to participate in such important events openly.
And it won’t cause anyone’s dissatisfaction or rejection.
Luo Feiyao also feels ridiculous and unreal now.
She was originally just enjoying the show, but she didn't expect that she would now be involved.
If matters related to firearms are not handled properly, she will also be implicated.
After all, her visit to Feng'an City was nominally on official business.
Zhao Yan and Huang An also felt troublesome when looking at the gunpowder and tools in front of them.
Of course, the tangled expression on Zhao Yan's face is real, while Huang An's expression is fake.
"Then destroy it nearby!"
Huang An spoke directly.
In the process of framing Yilong, there were many flaws. Now the two brothers of the Li family are dead.
The goal was achieved, but Huang An still wanted to get rid of these things as soon as possible.
After all, Luo Feiyao has been fooled for the time being, and there is no reason to continue to be fooled.
What Huang An had to do was to finish the matter before Luo Feiyao could react.
Now that brothers Li Jie and Li Shui are dead, we just need to get rid of these stolen goods.
Even if Luo Feiyao reacted later, it would be too late.
In addition to Luo Feiyao's character, Huang An thoroughly studied the aftermath and handling procedures of this kind of stolen gunpowder by the Firearms Department.
When it comes to firearms, the imperial court is very domineering.
In ordinary cases, we also need to pay attention to evidence and process, but in the case of firearms, we don't pay attention to the trial process at all, but only look at the results.
Once the facts are confirmed, the person involved must be executed as soon as possible.
Therefore, this is why Li Shui and Li Jie were killed directly without a proper interrogation.
Not even a word of interrogation.
Now, the three people are discussing how to destroy these stolen goods.
Gunpowder and some supporting tools are very easy to damage.
Luo Feiyao agreed to Huang An's suggestion, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said directly:
"Then arrange for manpower to dump the gunpowder into the two nearest wells. Smash the wooden tools directly, and transport the iron tools outside the city and throw them into the river. Now the river is swollen and turbulent. These things,
It will be washed away quickly.”
While speaking, he looked at Zhao Yan, obviously discussing with Zhao Yan.
However, Zhao Yan did not respond immediately, but looked at Huang An.
However, she was surprised to find that Huang An was looking at Luo Feiyao with contempt.
"Junior brother, you decide how to deal with it."
She said something and vaguely reminded Huang An not to be so arrogant, but to respect Luo Feiyao.
Zhao Yan is obviously used to being the hands-off shopkeeper. Huang An's opinion must be sought on such matters.
Luo Feiyao noticed Huang An's disdainful eyes and was slightly startled.
"explain!"
Now, she was upset because of the discovery of gunpowder in Li's house.
Being despised by Huang An again made the whole person even more confused.
"What are you doing to pollute a well? Don't you know how difficult it is to open a well?"
Huang An complained, and without waiting for Luo Feiyao to get angry or give her a chance to argue, he said directly:
"There is not much gunpowder. After soaking, it is taken outside the city and dumped in the river. The wooden tools are directly used to burn firewood, and the iron tools are sent to the blacksmith shop in the city to be resmelted and made into agricultural tools."
Huang An's method of handling the situation was obviously much better than Luo Feiyao's.
The process is simplified and more thorough.
Compared to other dignitaries and children of aristocratic families, Luo Feiyao is already relatively able to experience the sufferings of the world.
But that's only relative.
In this era, drilling a well depends entirely on labor, which is very costly.
Similarly, in Luo Feiyao's view, if the well in the Li family's mansion is damaged, it is damaged, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.
But for Huang An, the Li family's mansion is so beautiful. Although the Li family deserves to be blamed for their mistakes, the mansion is still of great use.
Once the wall is demolished and connected to the outside urban area, wouldn't it be a proper wealthy area?
In the future, when Feng'an City develops under the management of senior sister, business prospers, and the number of wealthy people increases.
The yard in the Li family's mansion can definitely be sold.
It is also excellent to develop real estate and increase income.
Naturally, Luo Feiyao would not refuse Huang An's proposal. She said directly: "This matter is a matter of my Firearms Department, I will handle it personally!"
While speaking, he looked at Zhao Yan.
As the local parent official, Zhao Yan naturally has a lot of right to participate in this matter.
Luo Feiyao now needs Zhao Yan to provide her with human help.
