"If given the chance, I would like to kill Yang Su, the Duke of Yue State, let alone you." Wang Junlin glanced at him contemptuously, added with a sneer, and gave Shen Guang a hidden look. Then, he pressed the Dragon Bird Sword with his hand. Handle, his eyes swept over the nobles and big landowners, and said with a ferocious smile: "Who else thinks that they are unjustly accused, please stand up for me! If I kill one today, I will kill, and if I kill two, it will be a kill. All of them will be fulfilled." Wait!"
Because of his unparalleled evil reputation, Wang Junlin was now ten times more ferocious in the hearts of these nobles and big landowners than King Yama in hell. Immediately, the nobles and landowners were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to raise their eyebrows. Too much. I am afraid that if I gasp loudly, I will receive special attention, and then be sent to be with Li Fengmu as a companion.
A moment later, Li Fengmu's screams outside the door suddenly stopped, and Shen Guang, with fresh blood stains on his body, ran in to return to his life and said: "Master Marquis, Li Fengmu has been beheaded by a humble official."
Wang Junlin shook his head and sighed: "This idiot actually thinks that I don't dare to kill people from the Li family in Longxi. You said that I told the court and the world that Li Fengmu was kidnapped by bandits, and I failed to rescue him in time. Li Fengmu, my father, Li Pai Should Xian hold his nose and admit it, or should he take the risk of completely exposing this matter and seek justice from me?"
No one dared to answer his words, and all the powerful men and wise men collapsed into mud. Some of them were so timid that they peed their pants on the spot, leaving a large area of wetness under their buttocks.
"Oh, no, no! If the news is leaked, the Li family in Longxi will fight to the death. Although I am not afraid of them, they will still be a trouble!" Wang Junlin didn't need anyone to answer at first, so he shook his head and said to himself Said to himself. "We have to find a way to kill people and silence them. We must not leak the truth. Alas! I have no choice but to wrong you! Someone -!"
"Yes!" Shen Guang and all the soldiers agreed in unison, pressing the handle of the knife with their hands and looking directly at the back of the necks of the nobles and big landowners.
"Spare your life——!" All the nobles and big landowners were so distraught that they lay in their urinals with their heads pounding. "Master Marquis, we, we, we don't dare to do anything anymore! We really didn't follow you. You have the courage to do the right thing! It’s all the Li family in Longxi who forced us to do this. They led people to hide us here forcibly.”
"Master Marquis, please spare your life. We will never dare to let out a word about what happened tonight, otherwise, we will be struck by lightning from the sky!"
"Master Hou, we saw with our own eyes that Li Fengmu was kidnapped and then killed by the thieves. We are willing to testify for Master Hou."
"Your Majesty, please spare your life! We realize that we were wrong. I realize that I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes!"
…
One sentence after another, the shouting was so desolate. After Wang Junlin heard it, he seemed to suddenly feel soft in his heart. He smiled and asked softly: "Why, you admit that you have done something wrong and you will no longer help Longxi." Li Shi has dealt with me."
"Master Hou, I regret it so much! Master Hou, please spare your life, this is all the Li family's idea in Longxi. The grassroots people are making a living in Yongzhou, and they don't dare to offend the Li family! We are forced to do it!"
The nobles and big landowners were like drowning people clinging to a straw, and they immediately opened their mouths and rushed to express their stance. They couldn't wait to throw the blame on the Li family of Longxi.
Even though he knew these guys were lying, Wang Junlin didn't expose them and smiled again, his voice becoming softer and softer, "I heard from Lord Governor Wang that you have owed a lot of money and food to the government over the years..."
The nobles and big landowners were stunned, and one of them rushed to say: "The villain owes the government a thousand shi of food. When I get back, everyone will immediately send someone to deliver it to the Marquis!"
"Master Marquis, I owe you one thousand two hundred shi of grain. I will send it to you wherever the Marquis says. I will never owe you another penny!"
"Master Hou, we didn't originally intend to default on the debt. Yes, it's the thieves of the Li family in Longxi who have exterminated their descendants. He said that he would delay it for a while and starve the victims to death, and then the blame would be paid to the Master. The villain is willing to take it.
One thousand three hundred stones of grain were given to forgive sins."
"Master Hou Mingjian, we, we, were deceived by that guy who cut off his descendants, so we made this stupid move! I am willing to give you nine hundred shi of food."
…
As nobles and big landowners, no one can save money. The nobles and landowners quickly surrendered, turned around and stood with Wang Junlin, and jointly poured dirty water on the Li family of Longxi!
Just as he was talking happily, he suddenly saw Wang Junlin's face stern and interrupted loudly: "Each person is at least 1,800 shi of food. If you don't want to, just come and tell me. I will have to kill you."
Then send people to find your family and sell them to collect the food you owe."
"Eighteen hundred stones? Lord Marquis, please spare your life!" The nobles and landowners repeated instinctively at first, and then they all collapsed in their urinals and howled loudly!
"Master Hou, the common people and others can't produce so much food even if they scrape three feet of the ground!"
"Master Marquis, please show me your noble hand. It's not that the common people are disobedient, it's that they can't raise so much food even if they lose their entire family!"
"Master Hou..."
If it is a good harvest year, these noble and big landowners will have a lot of food in their homes. But now that there is a disaster, the landowners and noble families have a large population. They have to spend 1,800 kilograms of food at once, and the family's vitality has been greatly damaged.
"Eighteen hundred stones, absolutely no less. Otherwise, hey..." Wang Junlin was not moved by everyone's begging for mercy at all. He shook his head and sneered, pointing out that everyone's fate was their own fault.
"Master Hou, have mercy!"
"Master Hou, please spare my life!"
"Even if we sell our sons and daughters, we won't be able to afford this!"
"Master Marquis..." The nobles and landowners did not dare to quibble. They just lay in the urine and kept kowtowing. Soon, blood started to flow from someone's forehead, and together with tears, it flowed all over his face and body.
"I always keep my word!" Wang Junlin's heart was as solid as stone. No matter how miserable the cries of the crowd were, he just continued to shake his head and sneer, "But, I will not force you to go bankrupt. There is a way for me here.
You can think about it carefully!"
"I'm willing! I'm willing!"
"Thank you, Mr. Hou, thank you, Mr. Hou!"
"Just as much food and grass as the Marquis says! Let the common people do whatever they want!"
"Sir, please make it clear! The common people are waiting..."
At this moment, all the nobles and landowners have become fish on the chopping board. Where is the bargaining capital? As long as Wang Junlin is willing to let go, even if there is an abyss ahead, they will rush to jump down without daring to show the slightest hesitation.
"Someone under my command runs a pawn shop. He usually makes some usury money." Wang Junlin instantly smiled like a Maitreya Buddha again. Looking at the backs of everyone's necks, he said in a consultative tone, "If you can temporarily
If you can't come up with so much money and food, you can borrow money from me. Real estate, land, and even antiques, calligraphy and paintings can be mortgaged. If you really don't have anything, you can find a few reliable village elders to provide guarantees for you and others, and you can also negotiate! However,
We made an agreement in advance, three points of profit, let’s settle it as it goes! If you owe money to an iron wheel, you only recognize the IOU but not the person, and the debt will last forever!”
