Chapter 7 The family just needs to be neat and tidy!
"Pull it down and bury it!"
Lin Nuo's voice was not loud, but his extremely cold tone made Zhou Yan and Fang Yun, the two Jinyi guards, shiver.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Yan subconsciously pulled out his embroidered spring knife and prepared to kill the four members of Li Mo's family before burying them in a deep pit.
However, he had just withdrawn half of his long sword when Zhao Da, who was standing beside him, gently pushed his long sword into the scabbard and shook his head at him.
"My lord, what I mean is buried, not buried after killing. Don't you understand the meaning of this?"
Zhao Da whispered something in Zhou Yan's ear, and then, regardless of whether the other party reacted, he and Zhao Er carried the four members of Li Mo's family like four pigs, and threw them directly into the big pile that had been dug.
In the pit!
"Come here and bury someone!"
It was at this moment that Zhou Yan and Fang Yun reacted and waved their hands to the Jinyi guards behind them. Then several people quickly stepped forward, carrying shovels, and began to fill the pit with soil!
"Lin Nuo, you dare to kill me? How dare you kill me?!"
"Although I am a Han citizen, I have become a chieftain of the Gelan tribe a few years ago. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a chieftain and his relatives break the law, as long as they do not commit rebellion, they can pay the ransom and be exempted from crime. This is the rule set by Taizu
Do you dare to violate the laws of Taizu?!"
Even now, Li Mo still doesn't believe that Lin Nuo really dared to bury them alive. In his opinion, the other party is more likely to be bluffing, just to force himself and others to speak and tell where the salary is hidden.
However, Lin Nuo did not speak, but looked at him indifferently, as if he had no intention of saying another word to him.
Lin Nuo, a master of Qianhu, didn't speak, so his guards in royal robes naturally didn't dare to stop. They kept holding the shovels in their hands. It didn't take long for the soil to reach the chests of Li Mo and others.
Generally speaking, burying a person alive does not even require complete burial. As long as the soil is buried up to the chest, the person will feel extremely difficult to breathe. It will not take long before the person dies due to lack of oxygen.
It was only then that Li Mo really panicked. Only then did he dare to believe that Lin Nuo had no intention of getting any confession from him at all. He just wanted to kill himself from the bottom of his heart!
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"Sir, I can tell you where the military pay is hidden. As long as you spare my life, I will tell you everything!"
"Sir, please spare me. From now on, I, Li Mo, will be your dog. I will bite whoever you ask me to bite. I will never have any objections!"
Li Mo's face turned red and he kept begging for mercy. His wife and two sons were even more unbearable, crying with snot and tears. They had lived a life of glory and wealth for too long, and they were about to be buried alive.
, almost mentally collapsed.
However, from beginning to end, Lin Nuo didn't say a word, and just looked at the few people quietly. When the soil was buried up to their necks, Li Mo and others completely collapsed.
"Lin Nuo, you are not a human being, you are a devil!"
"Lin Nuo, even if I die, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
"Lin Nuo, I'm so young..."
The yelling and cursing stopped abruptly, because the soil had already covered their heads. This family, which was full of evil, had completely cut off its life.
Lin Nuo stepped forward, stepped on the mud pit, and compacted the soil before nodding with satisfaction, feeling much more relaxed.
Turning around and looking at Zhang Yan and his wife who seemed to be frightened, Lin Nuo couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.
"The Li Mo family has gone to where they should go, so Zhang County Cheng, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Yan stared blankly at Lin Nuo. The other person's originally warm smile seemed to him like the call of death, making him feel cold all over and his breathing stagnated.
"Sir, I made a mistake in my judgment... I didn't expect you to do things so simply and crudely. You didn't follow any routine at all. You didn't even give us a chance to compete. You just flipped the chessboard when you came up!"
Lin Nuo flicked the dust that had been collected on his sleeves and said with a smile: "I dare to lift the chessboard because I have the capital to lift the chessboard!"
Zhang Yan was silent, Lin Nuo was right, the opponent did have the capital to overturn the chessboard.
The opponent was not only the magistrate of Shanyin County, but also a member of the Imperial Guard, and the emperor's favorite disciple. The power he could control behind him was indeed far beyond what the few small chieftain tribes in Shanyin County could contend with.
"Since your Excellency has chosen to overturn the chessboard, I have nothing to say to you. I just ask you, for the sake of my colleagues, please give me a good time!" After witnessing the Li Mo family being buried alive, Zhang Yan was already relieved and could not help but feel relieved.
I just hope that Lin Nuo can be kind and give the couple a happy life so that they can avoid the pain before death.
Lin Nuo looked calm and raised his hand to his side. Zhou Yan understood it and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the other party's hand.
The paper records every incident since Zhang Yan became an official. Because the investigation time is limited, some things will definitely be missed, but it can still be investigated to a reasonable extent.
"After seven years as county magistrate, you have been greedy a lot!"
Zhang Yan was a corrupt and mediocre official. He did a lot of things without getting paid, and he also participated in many fights among the chieftain tribes.
This Zhang Xian Cheng is also a strange person. As the second in command of Shanyin County, he is also a chieftain. He has personally participated in tribal fights many times, and it is said that he is quite good at fighting. Ordinary men, three or five can fight.
Not his opponent.
This person is unqualified to be an official and is considered a corrupt official, but overall, compared to Li Mo's family, he has a certain bottom line. According to the investigation results handed over by Zhou Yan, the other party has not done anything to disregard human life.
.
It may have been done, but it has not been investigated, so this possibility cannot be ruled out.
But after Lin Nuo was silent for a while, he finally decided to give the other party a chance to live.
"Hand over the missing batch of salary and I will spare your life!"
"Sir, you won't kill me?" Zhang Yan was stunned at first, with a look of surprise on his face, but then a bitter look appeared on his face, "Sir, the idea of robbing the army's pay was mine, but those who did it were desperate.
They are all Li Mo's subordinates. Now that Li Mo is dead, I really don't know where those people hid their salary!"
"These are your business. I want to see Yinzi before tomorrow evening!"
While speaking, Lin Nuo turned to Zhou Yan and asked, "How much is that batch of salary?"
"About eighty thousand taels!" Zhou Yan said quickly.
Lin Nuo hummed, then looked at Zhang Yan with indifferent eyes, "Zhang County Cheng, do you hear me clearly? One hundred thousand taels of silver, before tomorrow evening, I want to see every penny!"
"If you lose one son, I will kill your whole family!"
Lin Nuo pointed at the graves of Li Mo's family and said calmly: "I am a person who pays most attention to promises. If I say I will kill your whole family, I will kill your whole family. Zhang Xiancheng shouldn't doubt my determination, right?"
