s. When you reach Pingyuan County, don't wander around. Go straight to your fourth master and hand over the money!"Liu Liang couldn't help but ask, "But our family and the Fourth Master's family haven..."I will set off for Jianghe County immediately to see the magistrate!"
We have reason on our side, and we also have the county magistrate supporting us. This time, the Liu family is sure to lose!
At this moment, Zhao Fugui is even more excited than Yang Lin.
Yang Lin nodded and then took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels, handing it to Zhao Fu Gui.
Then, I'll trouble Uncle Three and the County Magistrate!
Although there was business cooperation with the Zhao family, Yang Lin had also heard from his previous life that "the yamen faces south, if you have reason but no money, don't come in." It seemed like it would be impossible to get anything done without paying!
This opportunity is hard-won, so we must seize it to thoroughly bring down the Liu family!
Zhao Fuguai touched the large silver ingot, his eyes gleaming with delight.
"Don't worry, your uncle will definitely convey your thanks to the County Magistrate."
For bringing down the Liu family, Zhao Fugui was more proactive than anyone else.
Having the witnesses sign and fingerprint their statements, with physical evidence also collected, Zhao Fugui set out for the county town before dawn, armed with all the gathered evidence.
The corpses were taken to the village temple, while the living were guarded by the guard unit.
Wang Gui, your brother went to kill Yang Lin and is now injured and near death. You should go see him quickly!
Before dawn, Wang Gui heard noises outside and was startled. He jumped up hurriedly, threw on two pieces of clothing, and ran towards Yang Lin's house.
His house is at the east end of the village, far from Yang Lin's family, so Yang Lin's family had a hard time getting there while this side was still quiet.
When Wang Gui ran into Yang's courtyard, he saw Wang Laosan lying unconscious on the ground. Wang Gui was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Yang Lin, Yang Lin, are you alright"
Wang Guiliu was at a loss and hurriedly looked at Yang Lin.
Yang Lin shook his head. "I'm fine, your brother is badly hurt. I treated him, the bleeding has stopped, but whether he can live...it's up to fate."
Yang Lin told everyone what had happened.
After hearing this, Wang Gui knelt down on the ground with a thud, sobbing and crying bitterly, desperately kowtowing.
He felt unspeakable pain in his heart, he only felt sorry for Yang Lin, his own brother!
Yang Lin hurriedly helped Wang Gui up and handed him a few silver pieces.
"I've already sent someone to town to invite a doctor. I'll give you some silver, you take him back first and have him treat your wounds."
Wang Gui cried again and was about to kowtow.
In this era, being hurt is almost tantamount to death!
First, the medical conditions are inadequate. Often, non-fatal injuries can be fatal due to bacterial infections!
Besides, ordinary people simply cannot afford to get injured or treated for illnesses.
Wang Gui's family was just getting by, but they couldn't afford to hire a doctor. They couldn't pay for the medicine and care the injured person needed.
I found a piece of paneling and carried Wang Lao San away. Finally, the courtyard was quiet, with only patches of blood left on the ground.
Everyone else has already left, but the women are still dazed and staring into space.
They were all terrified.
To Yang Lin's surprise, Li Yunyao and his third sister, who had also participated in shooting the masked man, weren't as discomposed as the others.
Li Yuxiang remained composed and calm, her expression unchanged. She didn't show any signs of nervousness or anxiety, appearing even more collected than herself.
It seems like killing a few people was nothing to her.
And the third sister's expression was particularly excited, her face also showed no fear or terror, but rather excitement and enthusiasm.
Who are they exactly What kind of mental fortitude do they possess
"Alright, that's all. Everyone go back to your rooms and rest."
Yang Lin said, and began sweeping the courtyard.
This isn't the afterlife, there's no need to preserve a crime scene, nor will there be any coroners. Matters in the village, even murders, are rarely reported. The headman, tribal leader, and some influential elders can handle it all.
Even if a case goes to court, the evidence doesn't matter much. It all depends on who has connections and who has money! Whose connections are stronger, and who can pay more!
So, instead of keeping this blood around to stimulate everyone's nerves, it would be better to clean it up.
While cleaning the yard, Yang Lin was also replaying tonight's events in his mind. He tried to think from Liu Jia's perspective, to consider their next move, and to ponder whether this case could be successfully used to bring down the Liu family. He also considered whether any deviations might occur in the process...
As soon as he thought about it, some questions came to mind!
Yang Lin gasped.
It's good that I didn't get carried away.
He went over the revised plan in his mind several times, until he was certain there were no omissions, and only then did he finally let out a sigh of relief.
……
Meanwhile, the Liu family.
When Liu Youcai learned that the slave he had sent to kill Yang Lin had been killed by Yang Lin! Not only did none of them come back, but they were also captured alive... at that time.
Liu Youcai panicked!
He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although the laws of Great Qin are not strict, and those with wealth and power can act as they please.
But this is built on the oppression of the common people by the powerful, and the exploitation of the lower classes by the nobility.
And he was merely a village landlord. In the eyes of the magistrate, there wouldn't be much difference between him and Yang Lin.
Hiring a hitman is still a serious crime!
Therefore, Liu Youcai knew very well that if Yang Lin reported him to the authorities, he would definitely be in trouble!
At this moment, the butler rushed in frantically.
"Master, master! Something terrible has happened! Zhao Fugui took people to the county town, and it is said that he brought our people with him. They confessed their crimes!"
Liu Youcai's body swayed, and with a thud he sat down in the chair. He swallowed nervously, his eyes wide open.
He knew all too well how much Zhao Fuguang wanted to get rid of him!
And he also knew that Zhao Fugui was influential in the county town.
Yang Lin entrusted this matter to Zhao Fugu, who would seize this opportunity to take his life!
"Grandpa, what should we do"
The steward asked in a panic.
He is a slave. If the Liu family falls, these slaves will either be sold to human traffickers or be confiscated and sent to the border battlefield.
No matter what, his good days are over!
Liu Youcai gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: "Yang Lin thinks he can bring me down with this In his dreams!"
"Send someone to pursue Zhao Fugui and try your best to stop him. Get all the evidence back!"
"You should also hurry and go to the county town to find County Magistrate Zhao."
Saying that, Liu Youcai took out a large silver ingot.
Just about to hand it to the housekeeper, I thought again and changed it for a slightly smaller one.
"
That's enough for this little thing.
"
"Hmph, to put it bluntly, it's just a matter in our village. Why would the county magistrate bother himself with such trivial matters This is something that ultimately falls under the jurisdiction of the County Lieutenant."
"Our family has always been respectful to the County Magistrate. Now that something has happened, the County Magistrate won't just ignore it."
"With this silver ingot added, Yang Lin wants to frame me In his dreams!"
After receiving the silver, the steward always felt it was a bit too little.
But since the old master had already said so, he did not question him....heir weapons, lining up in a single file, using their bodies to block the path into the village!Now their weapons, are no longer the original farm tools, but have been replaced with spears and swords...
