Chapter 44: Look Who Has More Money, Look Who Has Stronger C
ang Lin with difficulty."No problem, just charge the expenses to me. I'll take care of everything. Thanks for all your hard work, Uncle Three."Saying that, Yang Lin took out a silver ingot that he had..."I will immediately set off for Jianghe County to find the county magistrate!"
We have a valid case and even the county magistrate supports us. This time, the Liu family will surely lose!
At this moment, Zhao Fugui was even more excited than Yang Lin.
Yang Lin nodded and then pulled out a ten-liang silver ingot, handing it to Zhao Fu貴.
Then I'll leave it to Uncle Three, and the County Magistrate!
Although Yang Lin had business dealings with the Zhao family, he also heard in his previous life that "the yamen faces south, those who have a case but no money should not come." Without money, it's likely nothing can be done!
This opportunity is hard-won, so we must seize it to bring down the Liu family completely!
Zhao Fu貴 stroked the large silver ingot, his eyes gleaming.
"Rest assured, Uncle Three will definitely convey your thanks to the County Magistrate."
To bring down the Liu family, Zhao Fugu was more active than anyone else.
He had the victim's fingerprints and, after having all the witnesses present sign their names, before dawn broke, Zhao Fugui set off for the county town with all the evidence.
The corpses were sent to the village temple, while the living were guarded by the bodyguard unit.
"Wang Gui, your brother went to kill Yang Lin and is now injured and close to death. You should go see him quickly!"
Before dawn had broken, Wang Gui heard noises outside and jumped in fright. He scrambled to his feet, threw on a couple of clothes, and ran towards Yang Lin's house.
His house is at the east end of the village, quite far from Yang Lin's family. So while Yang Lin's side has been bustling with activity for a while, there's still no sign of movement here.
When Wang Gui rushed into the Yang family courtyard, he saw Wang Lao San lying on the ground, dead or alive. Wang Gui was dumbfounded.
"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 helped treat him, the bleeding has stopped now, but whether he lives or not... it's up to fate."
Yang Lin told everyone what had happened.
After hearing this, Wang Gui collapsed to the ground, weeping and wailing. He kowtowed desperately.
He felt unspeakable pain in his heart, only feeling that his own brother had let Yang Lin down!
Yang Lin hurriedly helped Wang Gui up and gave him a few silver coins.
"I've already sent someone to the 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 wounded is almost the same as receiving a death sentence!
One is the poor medical conditions, often non-fatal injuries but bacterial infections can also kill people!
Secondly, ordinary families can't afford to get injured or sick.
Wang Gui's family lived a modest life, but they couldn't afford to hire a doctor.
I found a door panel and carried Wang Laosan away. Finally, the courtyard was quiet again, with only bloodstains on the ground.
Everyone else has already left, but the women are still lost in thought, staring blankly ahead.
They were all terrified.
To Yang Lin's surprise, Li Yuyao and San Jie, who had also participated in shooting the masked man, were not as discomposed as the others.
Li Yuxi remained composed and calm, her expression unchanged. She didn't show any nervousness or anxiety, even more so than I did.
It seems like killing a few people wouldn't be a big deal for her.
While the third sister's expression seemed particularly excited, there was no fear or apprehension on her face, but rather a sense of excitement and eagerness.
What kind of people are they How could they possibly have such mental fortitude
"Alright, that's it for now. Everyone go back to their rooms and rest."
Yang Lin started to sweep the yard.
This isn't the afterlife, there's no need to preserve a crime scene, let alone have an autopsy. Village matters, even murders, rarely get reported. The village head, tribal chief, and some influential elders can handle it.
Even if a case is brought to the court, it has little to do with the evidence. It mainly depends on who has connections and who has money! Who has stronger connections and who pays more!
So, rather than keeping this blood around to stimulate everyone's nerves, it would be better to clean up.
While cleaning the yard, Yang Lin was also going over tonight's events in his mind, trying to put himself in Liu Family's shoes, thinking about their next move, and wondering if this case could be successfully used to bring down the Liu Family. He was also considering whether there would be any deviations along the way...
Upon thinking about this, it actually made him consider some issues!
Yang Lin gasped.
It's good that I didn't get too carried away.
He went over the newly 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 slaves he had sent to kill Yang Lin were all killed in retaliation and even a prisoner was taken... at that time.
Liu Youcai panicked!
He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are not strict, and the rich and powerful can do whatever they want.
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 landlord in the village. In the eyes of the magistrate, he and Yang Lin were not very different.
Hiring a killer is still a serious crime!
So, Liu Youcai knew very well that once Yang Lin reported him to the authorities, he would definitely be in trouble!
At this time, the butler panicked and rushed in.
"Master, master, something terrible has happened! Zhao Fugui took people to the county town. I heard he brought our people with him and confessed!"
Liu Youcai swayed his body and plopped down onto the chair, swallowed hard, his eyes wide open.
He was all too aware of how much Zhao Fuguang wanted to get rid of him!
And he also knew that Zhao Fuguang had connections in the county town.
Yang Lin entrusted this matter to Zhao Fu貴, and Zhao Fu貴 would take advantage of the opportunity to kill him!
"Master, what should we do"
The steward asked in a flustered voice.
He was a slave. If the Liu family fell, these slaves would either be sold to human traffickers or confiscated and sent to the border battlefields.
No matter what, his good days are over!
Liu Youcai gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, and said fiercely, "Yang Lin wants to bring me down with this In his dreams!"
"You send people to pursue Zhao Fugui and try your best to stop him. Get all the evidence back!"
"You should also leave immediately 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 over to the housekeeper, I thought better of it and switched for a slightly smaller one instead.
"This is a minor matter, this is enough."
"Hmph, in the end, it's just a matter within our village. The County Magistrate wouldn't bother himself with such trivial matters, would he This affair ultimately falls under the purview of the County Lieutenant."
"Our family has always been respectful towards the County Magistrate. Now that something has happened, the County Magistrate wouldn't just ignore it."
"With this ingot of silver, Yang Lin wants to frame me In his dreams!"
Upon receiving the silver, the steward always felt it was a little short.
But since the old master had already said so, he did not question him…"Oh"Both Zhao Guang and Zhou Kun didn't understand.Zhao Deyi said coldly: "Before, we underestimated him! He can make tofu, sell medicine water and earn a lot of money, and he can even think of findin...
