In the inn room, Xue Xiuer was already sitting by the bed and waiting quietly.
Rushing to Anyi County overnight to rescue people, a round trip of hundreds of miles, other people would have been almost dead from exhaustion, but on Xiuer, there was no sign of fatigue at all, she was still as beautiful as if she was out of water.
lotus.
"Have the arrangements for the families of Brother Zhao and Brother Zhao been arranged?" Lin Nuo asked directly without any greetings.
"They have been arranged to the home of an uncle of mine. You don't have to worry about their safety!"
Lin Nuo hummed, Xiuer's family is a family of tomb robbers, and her uncle is definitely not an ordinary person. It's unclear how strong he is, but his hidden abilities are definitely different from ordinary people!
"I have also investigated what Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao said, and it is indeed true. The Anyi County magistrate and his family have committed so many crimes that they will never be redeemed by death!"
"What are your plans next? Wait for the case to be heard before making a decision?" Xiu'er stared at the plaque in front of Lin Nuo for a moment with the second Asian Yuan on it, and then asked with a somewhat complicated expression.
"No need to wait, I have seen through the outcome. Since regular means cannot achieve the goal, it is time to use some thunderous means!"
"Tonight, I will kill Anyi County Magistrate Li Xiuwen and his family!"
In life, whether in official circles or in the world, people will always kill people. Since killing is inevitable in the future, Lin Nuo doesn't mind practicing with Li Xiuwen's family first!
...
Anyi County is a suburban county of Nanchang Prefecture and borders Nanchang City. It is a hundred miles away from the city to the county seat.
In the evening, it was extremely cold at the city gate. Occasionally there were a few people rushing into the city, but few people were seen leaving the city.
Different from the prosperous cities of later generations, in today's era, when it gets dark, people will basically not go out of the city if there is no urgent matter. After all, in the dark and dark suburban wilderness, there are not only ferocious beasts, but also bandits, which is very dangerous.
In the darkness of the night, Lin Nuo and Xiu'er walked past a low city wall in Anyi County. This time they were here to kill someone, so it was not suitable for them to walk through the city gate openly.
The three-meter-high city wall is insurmountable for ordinary people, but for martial arts people like them who have internal skills, the city wall of a small county town is not a trouble at all.
"Come with me!"
After entering the city, Xiu'er took a look at the surrounding streets, and then disappeared into the gray night in a flash.
Last night, she had already understood the terrain of Anyi County. Now that she was familiar with the roads, there was no need to waste time and go straight to the county government office.
Lin Nuo did not practice Qing Gong, but the Nine Yang Divine Art he practiced was so extraordinary. The internal energy of Nine Yang traveled between his legs, making his whole body like a blue wind shadow, following Xiu'er closely, but he was not caught by it.
fall.
Anyi County, adjacent to Nanchang Prefecture, has a relatively flat terrain, convenient transportation, and rivers passing along the way. It is considered rich among the surrounding counties.
But when Lin Nuo came to the county government residence and saw the county government office that was not luxurious or even shabby, he was a little stunned for a moment. It was hard to imagine where a county magistrate who didn't care about human life lived.
It's so simple.
"This government office has not been repaired for more than ten years. Li Xiuwen has a good official reputation in Anyi County and has always been known as an upright official!" Looking at the mansion in front of her, Xiu'er couldn't help but smile.
"Knowing people but not their hearts, who would have thought that this so-called Master Qingtian is secretly a demon who digs out people's hearts!"
Lin Nuo sighed softly. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, most of the so-called clean streams in the capital were people who were seeking fame and reputation. On the surface, they were as poor as dirt. In fact, everyone in his family was extremely rich. In the local area,
The local officials just turned a blind eye to this and did not dare to provoke him.
"Let's go, let's go see the so-called Master Qingtian and finish the matter as soon as possible. We have to attend the Governor's deer-crowing banquet tomorrow!"
The Deer Ming Banquet is a custom that originated during the Tang Dynasty and continues to this day. The highest local governor has always held this banquet on the day after the provincial examination results are released to entertain the examiners, invigilators, and candidates for new subjects.
The governor of Jiangxi will also appear at tomorrow's banquet. Lin Nuo, as the second-placed candidate in the new imperial examination, will naturally attend.
...
"An'er, how's the matter going?"
In the back house of the county government mansion, the county magistrate Li Xiuwen, who was very thin and had prominent cheekbones, was walking back and forth in the yard, looking nervously at his son who walked out of the side room.
In order to clean up the traces, Li Xiuwen sent out almost all the yamen and servants in the government office to avoid falling into the eyes of interested people. His son had been tossing in the alchemy room for a day, and he didn't know whether the evidence was completely destroyed.
"Don't worry, father, my alchemy room has been completely cleaned up. There is no way the prefect's yamen will find anything tomorrow!"
This Li Xiuwen's son, named Li Ping'an, has to be said that he does have a good skin. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. His skin is extremely fair, his face is red and his teeth are white. If you don't look carefully, you will see
She looks like a very beautiful woman.
In addition, the other party was dressed as a Taoist priest, standing in the courtyard, and he actually had the feeling of being an immortal, as if he were an immortal descending, which made people feel good about him unconsciously.
"The prince's people should have taken care of the burial sites, right?"
Li Xiuwen still felt a little uneasy. At noon today, when someone from Prince Ning's mansion told him that the incident had happened, he almost frightened him to death. He is still a little shaken to this day.
"There will be no problem. This is Jiangxi and the border of Nanchang. On this land, the prince's words are the imperial edict and there will be no mistakes!"
There was no hint of impatience in Li Ping'an's expression. This was true. He was able to kill people and dig out their hearts to make elixirs without any scruples. This person's psychological quality was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people. This had already reached the level of abnormality!
"Father, you are still too soft-hearted. You insist on leaving their whole bodies and letting them bury them in peace... If you had listened to me that day and burned those corpses to destroy their traces, this would not have happened.
What a disaster today!"
"Haha, this young master is right. Killing people but not setting fire to them is so shameless!" A sneer sounded from the shadows of the courtyard.
"who?!"
A cold light flashed in Li Ping'an's eyes, he flicked his sleeves and robe, and a dagger appeared in his hand instantly. He was like an ape, leaping several meters away, raising his hand and stabbing towards the shadow.
However, although he was fast, the man in the shadow was faster. The moment the dagger fell, a sword light flashed through the air with a cold and sharp edge.
laugh!
Bright red blood spurted out, and the next moment, Li Ping'an's body flew out upside down. His right arm holding the dagger was cut off by a sharp weapon, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the smooth incision.
"How do you feel? Does it hurt?"
Looking at the handsome young man who looked ferocious due to the severe pain, Lin Nuo held a long sword and slowly walked out of the shadows of the courtyard with a cold aura all over his body.
