quiet……
For a while, the whole restaurant was quiet.
Everyone looked at each other.
There was deep anger hidden under his seemingly calm face.
On the lower seat, an old man in a black robe, with silver hair and crutches stood up slowly, shook his head and said, "Master Lin, please forgive me for disagreeing."
"We are also victims of the rebellion!" The old man tapped the ground lightly with his crutches, and called out, "Master Lin, as for the occupation of fields, it has never happened before."
"This is absolutely unwarranted slander."
"This gang of damned rebels rebelled, and we suffered heavy losses. The rebels stole a lot of our property and have not recovered it so far. I have to trouble you adults to find it for us."
The person who spoke was the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhiyuan, who had a high prestige among the families, and the Zhou family was also the most influential family.
As soon as Zhou Zhiyuan opened his mouth, everyone laughed.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
On the left side, the Patriarch of the Chang family, Chang Yanqing stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, what Old Patriarch Zhou said is exactly what we are waiting for."
"We know that the imperial court is in a difficult situation, so we have been giving out porridge in the city during this time. If Mr. Lin really needs it, my Chang family will work hard to make it together, and I am willing to donate 2 taels."
Lin Mang put down the teacup slowly, looked at everyone with cold eyes, and said quietly, "You think so too?"
After a moment of silence, the Zhang family advocated that Xilin stood up and said, "Master Lin, we have never done these things before, how can we admit to such crimes."
Lin Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a serious tone, "You are determined not to hand it over."
No one spoke, their expressions were indifferent.
Zhou Zhiyuan sat down slowly, with an intriguing smile flashing in his eyes, and suddenly said: "If Mr. Lin is in desperate need of money, it's not like I'm unwilling to help."
As he spoke, he reached for the wine jug and said, "This jug of wine costs 1000 taels."
"As much as Master Lin can drink, I will give as much as I wait."
"But no luck."
Lin Mang slowly raised his eyes to look at him, and said coldly, "I heard your name is Zhou Zhiyuan?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was taken aback, nodded and said, "Is there a problem?"
"Hmph!" Lin Mang snorted coldly, and said in a serious tone, "Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan!"
"Now it is Daming, but you are named Zhiyuan, and you clearly yearn for the Yuan Dynasty!"
"What are your thoughts, are you rebelling?"
Lin Mang suddenly shouted loudly, his voice was like thunder.
"Chong!"
There was a sudden hum, and the Xiuchun knife hanging from Lin Mang's waist was unsheathed.
A bright white light flashed across.
Zhou Zhiyuan Tong Kong shrunk and was about to retreat, but the knife was faster than him.
When the knife fell, people's heads flew!
The moment Zhou Zhiyuan's head fell, the whole restaurant fell silent.
A dead silence!
Everyone took a deep breath, and Chang Yan said angrily, "Lin Mang, what do you want to do?"
"You are abusing your private power and taking care of people's lives!"
"Come on!"
However, before he could finish his words, he was suddenly slashed with a knife.
The crowd was terrified.
"Come on people!"
"Go!"
Lin Mang shouted: "Bold and lunatic, how dare you attack and kill Jin Yiwei!"
At that moment, a stream of light flashed across the air.
As the saying goes, Qing Cang backed away in panic, but in the next moment, an extremely dead and cold knife intent covered him.
"No!"
In his eyes, a blade suddenly enlarged rapidly.
Its speed was so fast that it was too late to react.
"Peng!"
His body shield was shattered, and the light of the sword cut his body to pieces.
"run!"
Zhang Xilin fled directly through the door, panicking.
At that moment, the entire restaurant was in chaos.
No one thought that this guy would say he would do it. This is Jingzhou City, and even Li Wengui didn't dare to do it to them.
If so, they would never bring such a few people here.
The guards brought by the heads of the various families stepped forward one after another, trying to stop Lin Mang.
Lin Mang looked indifferent, with a murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
Suddenly stepping out, his body is like a swimming dragon, and his speed is like a hurricane.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Mang's figure crossed with a group of guards, and the guards standing behind him were cut to pieces instantly.
As soon as the rest of the people ran to the door, an Xiuchun knife was placed in front of them.
Lin Mang looked at the four of them indifferently, and said coldly, "You guys should sit back."
The few people were startled, and they backed away in shock and anger.
"Master Lin, what exactly do you want to do?"
"We are not easy to deceive when we wait for the aristocratic family."
Lin Mang glanced at him, and said coldly, "One more word, I will kill you together."
Liu Zhengshan was at a loss for words for a moment.
Lin Mang sat casually on the teacher's chair, slowly wiping the knife in his hand.
silence...
After a long time, Lin Mang said calmly: "You can share the three equally, but in addition to the previous requirements, each of you must contribute 50 taels."
The few remaining people were stunned.
Looking at the few people who died on the ground, I felt complicated.
Lin Mang raised his head sharply, looked at the crowd, and said coldly, "Of course, there is another choice, that is, you all have to die here."
"After tonight, I can guarantee that none of your great families will leave even a dog behind."
"I didn't kill you all because I thought it would be too much trouble afterwards. The restoration of people's livelihood still needs you. It's not because I'm afraid of you. If you think it's my official who is afraid of you, you can try it."
Lin Mang slapped the knife on the table and shouted, "See if it's your brains or my knife!"
Chapter 146
Inside the restaurant
The members of the four great families have already left.
In the empty lobby, more than a dozen brocade guards were skillfully cleaning up the corpses at the scene.
The blood on the ground has not been cleaned up yet, but Lin Mang is familiar with it.
I haven't seen anything on the battlefield, so what's the matter.
Sitting on the grand master's chair, looking at the dishes on the table, he ate with a calm expression.
Tang Qi stood aside, looked out the window, bowed and said, "My lord, if you let them go today, will they make trouble in private?"
These people are all the patriarchs of the great families, when have they ever suffered such humiliation.
Lin Mang glanced at him, put down his quick words, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, at least not for the time being."
"These people are not fools. Now that there are [-] imperial troops stationed in Jingzhou City, they will not be so stupid as to rebel."
"In normal times, the imperial court would naturally not be able to do anything, but the fact that they had an affair with Li Wengui is already a fact, and the evidence is conclusive. Now that Huguang has just been pacified, if they really dare to make trouble openly, they are slapping the imperial court in the face."
Lin Mang sneered, and said sarcastically, "Compared to the interests they spit out, the interests left by these three families are obviously greater, and they know how to choose."
"Everyone is after profit, not to mention these aristocratic families, they have always only had their own family in their hearts."
"They won't do anything that isn't beneficial."
The three people he killed belonged to the three strongest families in the city.
Once the head of the family died, the group of dragons would have no leader, and those members of the aristocratic family had no time to care about other things in order to fight for the position of head of the family.
If the remaining four families could really hold back the fat in their mouths, he would really look up to them.
Internal and external troubles, death is inevitable!
This is an open conspiracy on the surface, and even if they see it, they have no choice.
Lin Mang picked up the wine on the table and drank it all, and said with a smile, "Besides... a dog bites a dog, isn't it a very good thing."
"The background of the three great families is very deep, let them fight slowly."
"When they fight, there will be no time for trouble."
"With the five surnames and seven families in Jingzhou City as an example, it will be easy for the aristocratic families in the rest of the state to solve it."
His real goal was never these five surnames and seven clans, but the entire Huguang family.
Even the five surnames and seven clans in Jingzhou have set an example, and the rest of the aristocratic families can only be forced to follow.
Otherwise, it would not only offend the imperial court, but also the entire family of Jingzhou City.
Lin Mang wiped his mouth, got up and walked out, and said meaningfully: "After the four great families take action, remember to save a few seedlings for the three great families."
Tang Qi understood instantly, smiled, bowed and said, "My lord, I understand."
……
On the second day,
The four great families each sent someone to send 50 taels of silver bills, together with some land deeds from various places in Huguang.
No matter when, land is the top priority, especially for ordinary people.
In this era, officials and aristocratic families occupied a large number of fields, and land mergers were serious.
As long as those rebellious people have land and food to survive, why would they follow the rebellion.
But they rebelled, and those who were really affected were the poor people like them, and the aristocratic families were not affected much.
Ironic and sad.
Lin Mang took out 50 taels from the brocade box, turned his head to look at Tang Qi, and ordered: "As soon as possible, Feiying sent a letter to Mr. Yuan, saying that there is 100 million taels of stolen money to be sent to the palace and dedicated to His Majesty, please let me know." Send someone to receive it."
"As for the remaining 50 taels, give it to General Luo."
Lin Mang stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, feeling a pain in his heart.
A total of 200 million taels was obtained, but in the end only 50 taels were left.
But he was just annoyed, the emperor's share was indispensable this time.
Only those who can do things will be valued!
