Magistrate Liu announced the charges against Li Dafu and Li Xiuyuan of the Li family in public at the county government hall, and made corresponding sentences.
This sentence was not a heavy one. Li Dafu was sentenced to death, and Li Xiuyuan was deprived of his honors, imprisoned in a prison cell, and his home was ransacked, sealing up all the land, acres, shops, and workshops owned by the Li family.
To put it bluntly, this is to confiscate the family and exterminate the entire family, and to seize all the wealth of the Li family.
There is a saying that goes like this: when a county magistrate is destroyed, his family is wiped out by a magistrate.
It seems that this sentence is indeed correct.
Magistrate Liu is really so cruel that he will destroy the Li family in one fell swoop without giving the Li family any chance to stand up.
"Come here, capture this sinner Li Xiuyuan." Immediately, Magistrate Liu slapped the crowd and shouted.
The faces of the government officials changed slightly, they looked at Magistrate Liu, and then at Li Xiuyuan.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't seem to have anything to say, and seemed to have accepted his fate, several government officials immediately made a decision in their hearts, and immediately walked out with their hands in hand, and went straight to Li Xiuyuan.
"This big tree of the Li family is probably going to fall down today." The Yamen servant thought secretly in his heart.
Seeing everything happening, the squire and clan elders were also angry and annoyed.
"I really didn't expect that the Li family would be such people. The wealth of the Li family for several generations was actually obtained through evil magic."
"Let me just say that the Li family has been rich for three generations, and Li Xiuyuan's generation is still so rich. People say that wealth can only last for three generations, so there must be something wrong with the Li family's continued prosperity."
"Perhaps, the one hundred taels of silver that my family lost last month was stolen by the Li family using magic. I am so polite to the Li family in vain, but I didn't expect that the Li family is a wolf in wolf's clothing.
"
All the squires and clan elders were talking about it, all criticizing and scolding the Li family.
Why would the Li family pay me back my money, pay back the life of my dead child... and so on.
Li Xiuyuan just watched calmly and didn't say much.
"Li Xiuyuan, let's go. For the sake of the past, there is no need for the brothers to do it themselves. You are also a respectable person." Two officers came to the side and said, holding water and fire sticks.
At this time, with the charges attached and Li Xiuyuan unable to defend himself, it stands to reason that like other prisoners, he would either kneel down and cry out for injustice, or turn pale with fear and tremble in fear.
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan was extremely calm, standing motionless with his eyes, nose, and heart in mind.
"Li Xiuyuan, are we talking to you? Are you stupid?" A guard pushed Li Xiuyuan.
"Don't worry, you're not stupid."
Li Xiuyuan smiled, then looked at Magistrate Liu above the hall, shook his head slightly, and walked away.
"No matter how rich your Li family is, you still end up in the hands of this county magistrate." Magistrate Liu saw that Li Xiuyuan didn't seem to be in the mood to commit a crime. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
.
But just when the yamen servant was pressing down on Li Xiuyuan, he had not taken a few steps.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the back hall of the Yamen.
"Dog Officer, where are you? I am looking for bandits in Sichuan Mountain. Wu Fei, you are a dog officer and you imprisoned my brother Han Meng. Today I led people to the county government office just to rescue my brother."
An evil voice sounded, and a group of masked strong men rushed out from the back hall, occupying the entire lobby in an instant.
The leader was a burly and strong bald man wearing brocade clothes. This man held a large sword with a ringed head and was full of murderous intent.
Dozens of other men were also armed with knives and guns, and they were unruly and full of gangster spirit.
"Wha, who is that?" a government official asked in surprise.
"Fuck you, are you blind? Don't you even recognize me? Is it because I haven't walked around Guobei County in these years? You have all forgotten me." Wu Fei walked away with a big knife in his hand.
Go and kick the yamen servant.
The yamen servant also had some martial arts skills and hurriedly used the water and fire stick to block.
But Wu Fei's strength was too terrifying. When he kicked him, there was a cracking sound, and the water and fire stick immediately broke into two sections. The guard immediately screamed, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he flew backwards.
, and fainted immediately.
"Take everyone down. No one is allowed to move. If anyone moves, I will cut off someone's head." Wu Fei said loudly, and then he swung his big knife and fell to the ground.
Only a loud noise was heard, and the bluestone bricks on the floor of the Yamen were smashed to pieces by the knife, and the big knife penetrated deeply into the ground.
Afterwards, dozens of men rushed out, captured all the government officials, and immediately sealed the gate of the county government office, even staying behind those squires and clan elders who wanted to escape when they saw the situation was bad.
Although there are many government officials in the county, none of them have any real skills. Seeing this real sword and gun, they rushed towards me with such ferocity that their legs were weak, let alone resisting.
"Wu Fei, please don't act recklessly. This is the county government." A government official said in horror.
I seem to have remembered this person.
Wu Fei of Wangchuan Mountain is indeed a bandit in this area, but he has not come out to rob for many years. I don’t know where he disappeared. He did not expect to suddenly appear today.
"I'm just messing around. What's going on? If you keep nagging me, I'll chop you down first." Wu Fei said with a cruel smile, stroking his bald head.
"Come here, get that county magistrate to me. I'm going to give him some serious trouble today."
"Boss, the county magistrate is here."
A subordinate immediately picked up the trembling Magistrate Liu from a corner and threw him down in the lobby.
"Ouch~!"
Magistrate Liu screamed in pain, with cold sweat breaking out on his face. Especially when he saw the big knife standing in front of him, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.
"Lord County Magistrate, let's have a nice chat." Wu Fei squinted his eyes and stepped on Magistrate Liu's back.
"Hero, spare my life, my dear, spare your life. I just took office this month. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. Please be kind and generous and spare my life." Magistrate Liu was so frightened that he almost kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Wu Fei clapped his hand and knocked off his official hat: "Begging for mercy? Did I ask you to beg for mercy? Tell me, where is my brother Han Meng being imprisoned?"
"Prison, prison." Magistrate Liu said hurriedly with a pale face.
"Then you should know what to do, right?" Wu Fei said.
Magistrate Liu nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, let him go immediately, let him go immediately... Come, come, come, hurry, go to the cell and release Han Meng, no, no, no,
It’s to invite Zhuangshi Han out.”
"I'm worried about your people." Wu Fei grinned, then waved his hand: "The four of you go accompany this government servant to rescue Brother Han."
"Yes, boss."
The four masked thieves responded and immediately escorted a government servant and left through the side door.
"You two government officials are hiding here, do you want to sneak attack on us?"
When the four masked thieves passed by the side door, they saw two government officials escorting Li Xiuyuan, and they immediately drew their swords and chopped them.
"Hero, spare your life...ah~!"
Before he could finish speaking, two screams rang out, and the two government officials were chopped to the ground, blood spurting out, and they lay on the ground unable to move in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go~!"
The four masked thieves then strode away.
Li Xiuyuan's face remained as usual, still calmly looking at Magistrate Liu who was stepped on by Wu Fei.
After a while, four masked thieves came back with Han Meng and the injured Li Dafu.
"Boss, Brother Han said that this is the richest man in Guobei County, Li Dafu. I kidnapped him specially. I believe I can make a lot of money." A masked thief said.
"Okay, well done. Li Dafu's family has plenty of money. Let's kidnap him and ask the Li family to pay a ransom of hundreds of thousands." Wu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Han Meng also spoke at this time: "Boss, I heard that County Magistrate Liu has been looting money in Guobei County this month. Now the county government is already extremely rich. Since we are here today, why not do some looting?
This county government office,”
"That makes sense." Wu Fei touched his bald head and smiled: "Is this Magistrate Liu? I wonder where the money you collected is now placed?"
As he spoke, he took a broadsword with a ring-shaped head and made a gesture beside his neck.
"There's a room in the back hall, it's locked." Magistrate Liu was so frightened that he shook out everything and didn't dare to hide anything.
"Very good, go to Brother Ten and get the money." Wu Fei said.
Immediately, ten masked thieves turned and left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with us. Please show your dignity and let us leave." A squire plucked up the courage to say at this time.
Wu Fei shouted: "I told you to shut up, come here, slap that guy thirty times."
Immediately, a thief rushed over, grabbed the talkative squire, and then slapped him hard.
When the other squires saw this, they shrank their heads in fear and did not dare to say another word.
"Boss, you've made a fortune. Look, there's money in the box."
Soon, ten subordinates who were sent out came over carrying a box. There were five boxes in total. They were all filled with gold and silver jewelry. It was obvious at a glance that they were worth a lot of money.
"So many?" Wu Fei said excitedly.
"That's not all, there's also the back hall."
Wu Fei chuckled and said, "What a good county magistrate you are. You've only been in office for one month and you've already taken away so much money from the people. It seems that you are not only a bad official, but also a corrupt official."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will give all this money to Your Majesty. I don't want a small share. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." County Magistrate Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Bah, you are a bitch, you harmed my brother, robbed the people of the people, and you still want to beg for mercy? Today I will do justice to God, chop you, and take him into custody." Wu Fei shouted.
Immediately, two subordinates held down Magistrate Liu, who was paralyzed with fear, and made him kneel on the ground.
"Spare, spare my life..." Magistrate Liu was so frightened that he cried and screamed. His body was all wet, and he actually peed in fear.
"It's evil officials like you who made it impossible for me and others to survive and became bandits. How can you relieve your anger if I don't kill you today." Wu Fei raised the sword with a ring, and then looked at Li Xiuyuan in the corner.
Li Xiuyuan nodded calmly.
Wu Fei chuckled and fell with the knife no matter how he shouted.
This knife was somewhat clever. First, it struck Magistrate Liu on the back of the neck with the blade. Magistrate Liu immediately knelt on the spot as if he had lost his soul. He neither screamed nor begged for mercy. He suddenly became extraordinarily angry.
honest.
"Drink~!"
Then there was a loud shout, and Wu Fei raised his knife and dropped it.
Hot blood spurted out, and the big head rolled to the ground.
