Turbulent Times Chapter 347: I owe 1,800 stones of food
"If there is a chance, this Marquis would even kill Yang Su, Duke of Yue, let alone you." Wang Junlin glanced at him contemptuously, added with a sneer, and gave Shen Guangyi a dark look. Immediately, he put his hand on the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow knife, glanced at the nobles and big landlords, and said with a grinning smile: "Who else thinks that he has been wronged, stand up for me! If I kill one today, I will kill two. It's also killing, so it's all done!"
Because of his peerless reputation, Wang Junlin is now ten times more vicious in the hearts of these nobles and landlords than King Yama in hell. Immediately, the aristocratic landlords were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, not daring to show much air. I'm afraid that if I breathe heavily, I will receive special attention, and then I will be sent to be with Li Fengmu as a companion.
After a while, as Li Fengmu's screams outside the door stopped abruptly, Shen Guang, with fresh blood on his body, ran in and returned to his life, saying: "Master, Li Fengmu has been personally beheaded by this humble official."
Wang Junlin shook his head and sighed with emotion: "This idiot actually thought that the Marquis of the Li family in Longxi would not dare to kill. You said that the Marquis told the court and the people of the world that Li Fengmu was kidnapped by bandits, and that Marquis could not be rescued in time. Li Fengmu Is Lao Tzu Li Paixian admitting it while pinching his nose, or is he risking revealing the matter completely, insisting on seeking justice from Ben Hou?"
No one dared to answer his words, and all the tyrants and village sages were all limp and turned into mud. Some of them were very timid, and even peed on the spot, leaving a lot of wet under their buttocks.
"Oh, not good, not good! If the news leaks out, the Li family in Longxi will be completely immortal. Although the Marquis is not afraid of them, they will be a trouble after all!" Wang Junlin didn't need anyone to answer, he shook his head , talking to himself. "I have to find a way to kill people and silence them, and never let the truth out. 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 staring directly at the necks of the nobles and landlords.
"Forgive me—!" All the nobles and big landlords were stunned, lying in the **** nest, their heads like pounding garlic, "Master, I will wait, I will never dare to wait again! We really dare not wait! I don't have the guts to go against you! It's all, it was the Longxi Li family who forced us to do this, and they brought people to hide us here forcibly."
"Master Hou, please forgive me. I will never dare to leak a word about what happened tonight, otherwise, I will be struck by lightning!"
"Master Hou, I saw with my own eyes that Li Fengmu was kidnapped by the thieves and then killed by the thieves. I am willing to testify for Lord Hou."
"Master Hou, please forgive me! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I beg Lord Hou to give Cao Min a chance to correct their mistakes!"
…
One sentence, one sound, the cry is so desolate. After Wang Junlin heard this, it seemed that his heart suddenly softened again. She smiled, and asked softly: "Why, you all admit that you have done something wrong, and you will no longer help Longxi Li's family deal with this Marquis."
"Master Hou, I regret it when I wait for a good life! Master Hou, please forgive me, this is all the idea of the Li family in Longxi. !”
All the nobles and big landowners immediately opened their mouths and rushed to express their opinions like a drowning man climbing a straw. Can't wait to blame Longxi Li.
Knowing that these guys were lying, Wang Junlin didn't expose it, and smiled again, his voice became softer, "Ben Hou heard from Mr. Wang, the governor, that you have owed the government a lot of money and food all these years... ..."
All the nobles and big landlords turned cold, and one of them rushed to say: "The villain owes the government a thousand shi of grain. After returning, everyone will send someone to send it to Lord Hou immediately!"
"Master Hou, the villain is in arrears of 1,200 shi of grain. The villain will deliver it wherever the Lord Hou says it will be delivered, and I will never dare to default on another penny!"
"Hou Ye, I didn't think of defaulting on the debt. Yes, it was those thieves from the Li family in Longxi who cut off their children and grandchildren. He said that he would delay it first, starve the victims to death, and then count it on the Hou Ye. Xiao People are willing to take out 1300 shi of grain to forgive sins."
"Hou Ye Mingjian, we, we are also deceived by the guy who cut off his sons and grandchildren, so we made such a foolish plan! The villain is willing to give out nine hundred stones of grain."
…
As an aristocrat and a big landowner, no one is easy-going. The nobles and landlords quickly surrendered, and turned around to stand with Wang Junlin, splashing dirty water on the Li family in Longxi together!
While they were talking happily, they suddenly saw Wang Junlin's face stern, and interrupted loudly: "At least 1,800 shi of grain per person, if you don't want to, just come and tell me, I have no choice but to kill you." You, and then send someone to find your family, sell them, and collect the food you owe."
"One thousand and eight hundred stones? Lord Hou, spare me!" All the nobles and landlords repeated instinctively at first, and then they all collapsed in the urinals, wailing loudly!
"Hou Ye, even if the grass people scrape the ground three feet, they can't produce so much food!"
"Hou Ye, I beg you to raise your hand. It's not that the grassroots disobeyed intentionally, but it's because they lost their fortunes and couldn't make up so much food!"
"Hou Ye..."
In a good harvest year, these aristocratic landlords would have a lot of food in their homes. But now that there is a disaster, the landlords and aristocrats have a large population, and if they take out 1,800 shi of grain at once, the family's vitality is already severely damaged.
"One thousand eight hundred stones is definitely not less. Otherwise, hehe..." Wang Junlin was not moved by the pity of the people at all, shook his head, and pointed out with a sneer that the fate of the people was their own fault.
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
"Hou Ye, please forgive me!"
"Even if we sell our sons and daughters, we can't afford these!"
"Master Hou..." The nobles and landlords did not dare to quibble, but just kowtowed incessantly in the urinal. Soon, blood came out from someone's forehead, and together with tears, it flowed all over his face and body.
"This Marquis always says what he says!" Wang Junlin's heart is as hard as a rock, no matter how miserable the crowd's cries, he just continued to shake his head and sneer, "However, this Marquis will not force you to go bankrupt. This Marquis has One way, you can carefully consider it!"
"I am willing! I am willing!"
"Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou!"
"As much food and grass as Hou Ye said! The grass people can do whatever they want!"
"My lord, please clarify! Caomin, etc..."
At this moment, the nobles and landlords have become fish on the chopping board. Where is there any bargaining capital? As long as Wang Junlin is willing to let go, even if there is an abyss in front of him, he will scramble to jump down, not daring to show the slightest hesitation.
"Someone under Ben Hou's command runs a **** shop. He usually puts some loan sharks." Wang Junlin smiled and became a Maitreya Buddha in an instant. Looking at the backs of everyone's necks, he said in a deliberative tone, "If you can't afford that much money and food at the moment, you can borrow money from me. Real estate, land, and even antique calligraphy and paintings can all be mortgaged. If you really have nothing, find A few reliable village elders can guarantee you and others, and you can also discuss it! However, we have agreed in advance that the three-point interest will be settled! Iron debts, only the IOUs are recognized but not the person, and the debt is not dead!"
