Chapter 141: A Condition is Proposed

heavy: "There is both eyewitness and physical evidence. I only hope that the lord will uphold justice.""Acting impartially, that..."Zhao Kang frowned.Just by taking a quick glance, he could determine..."Not yet killed." Qin Shuang said.

I had already decided to kill all of Liu Chong's men, hanging their bodies along the roadside outside the village to intimidate any troublemakers.

But later he received news that the prefect Zheng Rong was eyeing him, so Liu Chong and his men lived for two more days.

"Today is a good day for it. Let's do it." Yang Lin said calmly.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuang nodded without hesitation, and asked someone to make the arrangements.

Those on Wei Fang's side were dumbfounded.

Liu Chong

Could it be Liu Chong, the head of the Liu family in Pingyuan County

How could he be here And why would Yang Lin want to kill them

The Wei side stared at Yang Lin in disbelief, momentarily speechless.

"Well well, you're just in time. A band of bandits came to our village the other day, behaving arrogantly and robbing and harassing everyone. Luckily, we managed to catch them."

"I'll go kill these bandits outside the village in a moment. You guys should come and take a look too."

The Wei faction really wanted to say no, but now that it's come to this, how could he refuse

Soon, their group was escorted to the village entrance by guards from the village.

Upon reaching the village entrance and waiting for a while, Wei Fang was dumbfounded when he saw a group of people being escorted by security personnel from afar.

At the front, held captive, was an old man with disheveled hair. It was actually Liu Chong, the head of the Liu family, and behind him were several guards from the Liu family!

Liu Chong, who was wailing loudly, saw Wei Fang and was instantly stunned. He then thought of something and begged for help desperately.

"Master Wei! I'm Liu Chong, it's me, Liu Chong! Please save me, these men are going to kill me, hurry and save me!"

Liu Chong shouted with all his might.

He then realized that behind Wei, there were also several guards from the village, armed with crossbows and staring intently!

Liu was dumbfounded.

But he still refused to give up on this lifeline, crying out in panic: "Don't you know who he is He's the master of County Magistrate Zheng! I am friends with Magistrate Zheng, you can't kill me! You can't!!"

He could rant and rave all he wanted, but the guards and villagers around him ignored him.

Now that people's lives are getting better, they become more and more intolerant of these outsiders, who they believe are taking everything away from them!

Seeing Liu Chong and the others being escorted to the roadside, with guards behind them stringing their crossbows, Wei Fang finally realized that the other side was serious!

Would they really dare to kill someone

To kill, or the head of the Liu family

The Wei party didn't know, unconsciously his body already started shaking.

Although he looked down upon these villagers, seeing the head of the Liu family about to be shot in this remote backwater, he didn't dare to act arrogant anymore.

"Yang Lin, Yang Lin! I beg you, let me go, let me go! I'll give you any amount of money, whatever you want! I have money, I'm very rich!"

Liu Chong curled up into a ball, trembling like chaff, begging for mercy with all his might.

"Heh heh, now you're scared"

Yang Lin's cold eyes flashed with a chill. "When you brought people into our village to bully my woman, did you ever think about today"

"I know why you're here, for the recipe of the water used to make tofu, right You planned to have me captured and then threaten me into giving up the recipe, but you miscalculated!"

"Liu Chong, we are all adults, and adults must be responsible for their actions! Since you attacked me and bullied my people, and you failed to kill me, of course I will kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin's raised palm fell downward.

Suddenly, a series of whooshing sounds followed by screams filled the air. Then, everything stopped abruptly.

Liu Chong didn't even manage to utter his last words before he closed his eyes in defeat.

Perhaps at the last moment of his life, he would be extremely regretful, but it would all be too late!

"All the corpses are hanging by the roadside, for those with ill intentions to see. Whoever dares to mess with our village will meet this end!"

Yang Lin spoke, turning his head to look at Wei Fang and the others beside him, his meaning self-evident.

The moment Liu Chong and others were shot, Wei Fang was already trembling with fear. Now, seeing Yang Lin's icy gaze, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

The Wei party's eyes were vacant, and he scrambled away.

But how could Yang Lin let him run away

"Mr. Wei, aren't you here to do business with me I heard that you beat my men this morning just to see me. Now that we've met, why are you running away"

Yang Lin approached Wei Fang, his face expressionless.

"Yang, Young Master Yang, I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you. I... I'll pay for it..."

The Wei party himself didn't even know what he was saying anymore, stammering as he pulled out two silver ingots from his sleeve and trembled as he handed them to Yang Lin.

He had originally planned to use this silver to blackmail the medicine formula, but now he didn't care about anything else. Even if he was scolded by the county magistrate when he went back, he dared not provoke the other party anymore at the moment.

This thing is terrifying! It just kills people out of nowhere, it's really killing them!!

Seeing that the other party was already scared out of their wits, Yang Lin didn't hesitate. He put away the silver, tossing one piece to Qin Shuang and another to the other guard from the village who had been beaten earlier.

"Take them back and guard them closely, make sure they don't escape!"

"Yes!" Qin Shuang nodded hastily.

After such a shock, I believe these guys will behave themselves.

On Qin Shuang's side, she arranged for people to escort Wei Fang and the others back, but she whispered to Yang Lin: "Master, why don't we just do it all at once and kill them directly!"

Yang Lin shook his head. "No, the village has a lot of people and it's easy to cause gossip. I killed those earlier as 'bandits', so I'm not afraid if others come to investigate. But these people are all around the magistrate, if they really died in our village, it would be hard to keep it quiet!"

Now that landmines are already available, he fears nothing from the county magistrate. But after all, his power is still too thin and he doesn't want to be targeted so early.

Yang Lin has always believed in the wise saying, "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and wait for the opportune moment to attack," and he also believes in the importance of "low-profile development" and "quietly accumulating wealth."

After taking care of that, Yang Lin immediately returned to the village.

Having just ordered the execution of Liu Chong and his men, it still had some effect on him.

However, Yang Lin himself didn't know that his own temperament had undergone a rather significant change unknowingly.

From the very beginning, facing Liu Youcai's men raiding him at night and his initial retaliation that left him shaken, to later shooting down bandits from Black Wind Mountain and beheading them in public with unparalleled bravery... It seems that killing these wolves has become a burden he no longer bears.

But he himself didn't know it, it was this kind of change, little by little, changing him...

Back in the village, at another courtyard, I saw Master Kong and his four disciples again.

Yang Lin came to discuss the details of this trip to Suizhou with them. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhong had already prepared everything!

but put forward a condition to him...en't you afraid he'll take your money and run away"Purple and green also nodded.In their eyes, even if they were incredibly wealthy, they couldn't possibly be so extravagant.Yang Lin smiled and said,...
