"Brother, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng have taken over the county government!"
Shi Qian greeted Sun Lei and others at the door.
"Pei Xuan, please go there. You know the government affairs best."
Sun Lei looked at Pei Xuan and said.
"Yes, brother!"
Pei Xuan took a few minions and went to the government office.
"Guard the city gate, let's go to Yuan Liu's mansion!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and took the remaining people to the Liu Mansion.
Because it was night, many people in the city were still asleep and didn't know what was going on until people on the street noticed the problem and shouted.
"With all the noise, haven't you seen the thieves entering the city? Tieniu, it's time for you to show off!"
Sun Lei pointed to the Liu Mansion with the closed door in front of him and said to Li Kui.
"Brother, look at it!"
Li Kui was overjoyed and swung his ax to kill him. The two axes crashed towards the black door.
"Is it really okay for my brother to do this? I always feel like I'm doing something bad!"
Lu Zhishen looked at all this and frowned. These behaviors have nothing to do with practicing justice for the sky. They are just bandits entering the city.
"What's wrong? You saw it that day. Several families were defrauded of their property by Liu Yuanwai. Their families were ruined. Don't you want justice?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked, this time he came to Qinghe County with a reputation as a teacher. He wanted to uphold justice when he saw injustice on the road, not to break up the county government's robbery.
"Sister-in-law, this broken door is so strong!"
Li Kui hit the ax several times but couldn't open the door. The door of Liu Yuan's wife's house was very heavy and made of fine rosewood. Li Kui's ax hit only a few sawdust.
"Let Sajia come!"
Lu Zhishen became angry when he thought of those people who had suffered. He stepped forward and bumped into them, breaking the door bolt and leaving the door open.
In the courtyard of the Liu Mansion, several men wearing black clothes and holding sharp knives looked at the people who came in in horror.
"As expected, they are a rich and ruthless family of thieves, and they even have dead soldiers in their house!"
Lu Zhishen was instantly furious when he saw how those people were dressed. He knew at a glance that these people dressed in black and holding sharp knives were dead soldiers raised by wealthy families.
"Is he a bad person? Then he can be killed?"
Li Kui was overjoyed and swung his ax to kill him. The men in black were too frightened to move when they saw Li Kui's ferocious face and the cold light of his pair of axes.
"die!"
Li Kui used his axe, one at a time, and chopped off two of them. The remaining ones were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Bah, you really don't need to kill!"
Li Kui spit on those people's heads.
“Brother, we’ve been caught!”
Cao Zheng and his men dug out a middle-aged man and woman from the capital.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life! You can take all your gold, silver and furniture!"
Liu Yuanwai lay on the ground and begged Sun Lei for mercy.
"Did I say you're just here to get gold and silver?"
Sun Lei looked at Liu Yuanwai and his wife on the ground and said.
Shi Qian moved a stool for Sun Lei to sit down. Liu Yuanwai and his wife were kneeling in the yard, and the men were holding torches and holding sharp knives, forming a circle around them, just like the Temple of Hell.
"Your Majesty, I will keep my peace and never dare to enmity with the kings. I beg your Majesty to spare my life!"
Liu Yuanwai and his wife continued to beg for mercy.
"Tell you the truth, I am Sun Lei, the person who talked about Liangshan. You should know the purpose of my coming!"
Sun Lei looked at Liu Yuanwai and his wife and asked.
"My lord, I respect the heroes of Liangshan the most."
Liu Yuanwai continued to beg for mercy.
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Look at these, do you recognize them?"
Sun Lei took out an IOU and threw it in front of Liu Yuanwai.
"The king has misunderstood. It was Old Li Tou who refused to repay his debt. His death has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Yuanwai and his wife changed their expressions when they saw the piece of paper, but they still defended themselves and begged for mercy.
"Oh? Then look at this one!"
Sun Lei threw another piece of paper over, which was also an IOU, but the first one was for one hundred taels, and the second one was for ten taels.
"I, Liangshan, only tell the truth when doing things. Lao Li Tou owed you ten taels of silver, with an annual interest rate of 20%, and I will repay you twelve taels in one year. You know that Lao Li Tou is illiterate and colluded with the guarantor to steal the money and change it into one. One hundred taels, after expiration, Old Li Tou will know that he has been cheated, and you use this to demand the land of Old Li's family and Old Li Tou's daughter, but Old Li Tou cannot complain, and finally hangs himself to death."
Sun Lei looked at Liu Yuanwai and his wife and said, Pei Xuan has found out this matter, and there is irrefutable evidence. Old Li Tou's son was working as a handyman in Liangshan Town. When he found out, he went to Qinghe County to complain, but the county magistrate had already been killed by Liu Yuanwai. After being bribed, he was only sentenced to hang himself for not paying back the money he owed, and ordered his children to pay back the money. In the end, Lao Li Tou's son directly sued Liangshan, and Pei Xuan accepted the case.
Sun Lei clapped his hands again, and a boy of 17 or 18 years old was ushered in.
"Your Majesty, it's them. They bullied my father into being illiterate. They joined the guarantor to rewrite the IOU and killed my father. They also wanted to rob my sister and the family's property."
When the young man saw Liu Yuanwai and his wife, he immediately knelt down in front of Sun Lei and burst into tears.
"Go down, I will give you a satisfactory punishment tomorrow morning!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and asked the minions to pull the young man down.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. We were deceived by eating lard and became greedy for a moment. We are willing to pay compensation!"
The woman hurriedly said that the evidence was conclusive and they could not deny it, but the people in front of her were all Liangshan bandits. Generally, thieves were very greedy for money, so giving more money should be able to settle the matter.
"We are all here, do you still have money?"
Sun Lei looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and the others also laughed.
These words made Liu Yuanwai and his wife completely despair. The thieves had breached the county seat, and there was still a possibility of their survival.
"Looking at the killers in your yard, what are you going to do?"
Sun Lei looked at Liu Yuanwai and his wife and said, they also told about their plan to kill Wu Dalang today.
"I'm curious. The Wu family has only four walls and a few shabby houses. Is this worth your plans?"
Sun Lei asked doubtfully.
"The ancestors of the Wu family also had money. They melted down a batch of gold ingots and buried them as family property, right under his ancestral house."
The woman spoke.
"The Wu family doesn't even know, how do you know?"
Sun Lei didn't believe it. Although big families did have the habit of hoarding gold ingots, the Wu family was already in such a state of poverty that they should have dug them out long ago.
"The little woman's ancestor is a famous goldsmith in Qinghe County. Those gold ingots are from the hands of my ancestor. There are one hundred ingots in total, and each ingot is fifty taels."
The woman spoke.
"So you got jealous of Cai and planned to take advantage of the dark and windy month to kill people and set fires for money and death?"
Sun Lei looked at the two people, who were like deflated balls, paralyzed on the ground and nodded.
"How vicious!"
Lu Zhishen was furious after hearing this. Just these two villagers could sentence these two people to death. These two people were so vicious and unapologetic. They had done countless things that were harmful to nature and justice.
"Tie them up and send them to the county government office to Pei Xuan!"
After asking the question, Sun Lei waved his hand with satisfaction and asked his men to escort the two men down.
"Brother, why do you keep people like this? I will kill them."
Li Kui said angrily that this vicious couple really deserved to be killed.
"This kind of person is going to be brought to public trial. If you kill him like this, it won't be an advantage for them. If you want to take action, go to Pei Xuan and ask him to work as an executioner for you."
Sun Lei said with a smile, since it is to establish prestige and fame, it cannot be done hastily, it must be done beautifully.
