Chapter 9 Sir, tell me how many people are you going to kill?
"Sir, last night, Xiaguan and Ye Dianshi finally discovered the lair of the gang of thieves through clues. After a fierce battle, they recovered their wages!"
Zhang Yan looked very excited. No matter what his true thoughts were, at least in terms of superficial skills, he performed well.
Lin Nuo looked around and saw that behind Zhang Yan and Ye Dianshi, a group of police officers came forward carrying large boxes and placed the heavy boxes in front of the county government office.
"Can Zhang County Cheng find out who dares to rob the military pay?"
Lin Nuo stepped forward and opened one of the boxes. After seeing the white silver pattern inside, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Returning to the county magistrate, the thief is none other than Li Mo, the chief secretary of Shanyin County!"
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Anyway, Li Mo is dead and will not come out to argue, so Zhang Yan unceremoniously puts all the blame on Li Mo.
"Then where is Li Mo now?" Seeing that the military pay had been recovered, guerrilla general Pound finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he became concerned about the whereabouts of the man who had robbed him of the pay.
"After Li Mo learned that the incident was revealed, a family of four had hanged themselves from a beam at home!"
Zhang Yan waved behind him, and immediately, several police officers came over carrying several stretchers, with the corpses of the four members of Li Mo's family clearly placed on them.
These four corpses have been changed into clothes, and there is no trace of soil on their bodies. In order to be realistic, there are indeed very obvious strangulation marks on the necks of the four people. A layman will subconsciously feel that the other party is indeed a person.
Hanged himself and died!
Lin Nuo couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan a few more times. Zhang Yan was indeed quite capable. It seemed that he had done a lot of preparations in the middle of the night!
“It’s really appalling and unbelievable that the magistrate of a county colludes with gangsters to rob military pay!”
Lin Nuo took a deep breath, looked surprised, then put on an angry look and said: "Zhang County Cheng, have the thieves under Li Mo been completely killed?"
"Don't worry, sir, all the thieves under Li Mo's command have been killed!"
"Seriously?" Lin Nuo showed a look of disbelief, "There are only thirty or so thieves, how dare he rob the army's pay? Are there any accomplices outside who have not been arrested?"
Hearing Lin Nuo's slightly cold words, Zhang Yan looked a little stiff. He already understood what the other party meant. This ruthless magistrate wanted to take advantage of the robbery of military pay to take advantage of Shanyin.
Various forces in the county have been cleaned up.
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. The gangsters killed by the lower official were only thieves in Li Mo's house. There must be other thieves lurking in other places. Please let me know how to deal with it next!"
Lin Nuo pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the somewhat reserved guerrilla general Pang De, "General Pang, next this county will make every effort to wipe out the remnants of Li Mo. This matter requires the general's cooperation!"
"You're welcome, Lord Magistrate. It's our duty as a garrison in Shanyin to eliminate the thieves who robbed the army of pay!"
Pang De was very polite. He had just received the news that the military salary had been robbed. The Lin Zhixian had already recovered the general's salary. Not to mention the other party's status in the civil service group, he could not provoke him just because of his thunderous tactics.
of.
"Mr. Lin, we must urgently suppress the bandits. Why don't I go back with my salary first? Don't worry, I will mobilize an army to block several city gates after I return. I'm sure not a single thief will escape!"
"Then I'll trouble you, General!" Since the other party was so polite, Lin Nuo's attitude became a little gentler.
After Pang De and others left with their salary, Zhang Yan glanced around, stepped forward and whispered in Lin Nuo's ear: "Sir, the 80,000 taels of salary in those boxes are a lot. As for yours,
Twenty thousand taels, I will send someone to deliver it to your house later!"
Lin Nuo hummed, then stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Yan and Ye Dianshi to enter the county government hall to talk.
"Zhang Xiancheng and Ye Dianshi have contributed greatly to the recovery of military pay this time. I will never forget you when I report to the court!" Lin Nuo said directly after the three of them took their seats.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I can take full credit for suppressing the bandits this time, all thanks to your arrangement. I don't dare to take the credit!"
Lin Nuo smiled and shook his head, "There is no need to say polite words. Next, the county magistrate should understand what I am going to do, right?"
"I understand, my lord, please tell me directly, how many people are you planning to kill?" Zhang Yan had already understood Lin Nuo's style, so he stopped being vague and directly asked how many people he wanted to kill.
Zhang Yan's words immediately startled Ye Dianshi, who didn't know what was going on. Was he about to go on a killing spree?
"Three hundred people!"
Lin Nuo held out three fingers and said, "You are the local gangsters here. Who should be killed and who shouldn't be killed? You don't need me to point out to you one by one, right?"
"On the second day after I took office, some local evil forces robbed the military. They dared to do such crazy things. This shows how rampant the evil forces in Shanyin County have become!"
"This officer has only one request for this action: handle it severely and severely!"
"If you can or can't catch them, just catch them! If you can kill them or not, just kill them!"
Zhang Yan swallowed and pursed his lips for a moment. After a while, he asked with some uncertainty: "Sir, if you kill too hard, will it cause dissatisfaction among the adults above?"
"This is not something you need to worry about. The above matters will naturally be handled by me. You only need to do your own thing!"
Will killing too many people cause dissatisfaction among the court officials?
Lin Nuo said there was no need to worry at all.
Why did Hongzhi send him to Shanyin County?
Just here to cause trouble!
Taking Shanyin County as a breakthrough point, we planted such a nail in the entire southwest region and piloted the land-returning plan in the future.
Hongzhi was not afraid of him causing trouble in Shanyin County at all, but he was afraid that he would be driven back in despair within a few days of taking office, which would be a disgrace to the court.
Moreover, this time, Lin Nuo was using the pretext of being robbed and suppressed by bandits to fight against evil and eliminate the remnants of the robbers. Even the other chieftains in the southwest Yunnan-Guizhou region did not dare to say anything openly.
After all, Li Mo, as a local official, directly robbed the military pay, which was already a taboo of the imperial court. The other chieftains were too busy to separate the relationship before it was too late. Who would dare to get involved in such a fire pit?
Zhang Yan and the other two nodded solemnly. They knew that by using this crackdown to scare the monkeys, catch and kill a group of people, the entire Shanyin County would probably become Lin Nuo's voice in the future, even in the county.
I'm afraid the other chieftains would not dare to confront him again!
