After asking around along the way, Tai Shici quickly determined that Chen Feng and his party had fled to the Lin family in the county. The Lin family is the richest man in Laoshan County. They own thousands of hectares of fertile land outside the city. They do business in various parts of Laoshan County and even have business dealings with other prefectures and counties. They are as rich as anyone. Relying on their strong financial capabilities, the Lin family supported 5,000 servants, each of whom was as strong as an ox. They could not afford food and wages for several months. They could be compared with the county soldiers whose bodies were hollowed out by drinking and sex. They were used to protect the Lin family's huge property. In addition, the city's There are also 5,000 land protectors. He is so wealthy that even the county magistrate Chen Feng has to give him three points. Chen Feng visits Lin Lin, the patriarch of the Lin family, every year and festival. Over time, the two collude and the two The family's position in Laoshan County has also become stronger. In the courtyard of the Lin family, Chen Feng led five gentry to Lin Lin and said sadly: "Brother Lin, the county seat was captured by the rebels, and all four city gates were occupied. We fled here, and I just hope that Brother Lin will see it." Save our lives because of our previous friendship." Lin Lin thought for a moment, took his hand and said, "Don't worry, magistrate, with our friendship of more than ten years, if I don't help you, who will help you, you first. Take a rest, eat something, and calm down." Chen Feng and several wealthy gentry thanked him happily. Looking at the backs of several people, Lin Lin frowned and said angrily: "You bastards, the rebel army has 8,000 people, and they are all well-equipped. It seems that you will not stop until you push my Lin family into the abyss of destruction!" He called a housekeeper, whispered a few words in his ear, then walked to the bookshelf, was stunned for a while, sighed, and finally pressed the switch on the bookshelf and walked in. Chen Feng and others were eating and drinking at the dining table. They never thought that Lin Lin would betray them, because they knew a lot about the Lin family's illegal crimes and kept relevant evidence. Of course, the Lin family also had a lot of evidence of their crimes. Only by grasping each other's handle can we live in peace. They are involved in each other, and they are both prosperous and destructive. "County Magistrate Chen, where will we go after escaping this difficulty?" A wealthy gentleman asked worriedly. Chen Feng took a big bite of the chicken leg and said happily: "Don't worry, our big sales goods have been shipped and placed in Dongping Village. Dongping Village has a radius of more than 300 square kilometers and can definitely accommodate them. Moreover, Dongping Village is still We have 10,000 troops. As long as we escape, Laoshan County will still be ours." At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open, and the housekeeper of Lin Mansion quickly walked in with several strong servants. "Everyone, I'm sorry. For the sake of the safety of the Lin Mansion, our master has no choice but to wrong you. Don't worry, after you go, my master will definitely burn more paper money for you." Looking at the horrified people, Chen Feng slowly He stood up and laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect Lin Lin to be such a timid and fearful person. I really misjudged him." Several servants quickly moved forward and tied up Chen Feng and others. When Taishi Ci came to the gate of Lin's house, he saw thousands of people holding iron weapons in their hands and surrounding Lin's house for defense. Taishi Ci looked at all this excitedly, thinking that he could finally have a big killing to vent his feelings for the past few days. Suffering. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to order the army to attack, he heard a military general running over and saying loudly: "General Taishi, my lord has ordered us to try not to kill anyone." Taishi Ci stepped forward, stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground, and said loudly : "I am Tai Shici of Donglai. I have come here under the orders of the general to capture the county magistrate Chen Feng and a group of people. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can challenge me." The servants around the Lin Mansion were shocked by Tai Shici's momentum and held their hands. The hands holding the weapons were sweating, and no one dared to step forward to accept the challenge. The door of the Lin family slowly opened, and the housekeeper quickly ran to Tai Shici, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "General, my master said that as long as the general does not cause trouble for my Lin family in the future, Chen Feng and others can be handed over to the general, and the master I am willing to give the general a few precious things. I wonder what the general thinks?" Looking at the murderous servants of the Lin family in front of him, Taishi Ci thought that although he could easily eliminate them, now that he is occupying Laoshan County, they will be the same after all. It would be better to leave his people to him. Now as long as Chen Feng is captured, his mission will be completed, so it is better not to cause trouble. Tai Shici agreed to his request and escorted Chen Feng and others back to the county governor's mansion. At the county magistrate's office, looking at Chen Feng and the other six people kneeling on the ground, Tian Xing smiled and said, "I wonder how many of you want to die?" Chen Feng laughed and said, "Just kill me! I'll be dead in less than 30 days." Someone will avenge me, and when we go to hell together, we will have a companion, so we will not be alone." The remaining five people cried loudly and begged Tianxing to let them go, and were willing to give all their wealth to him, just to spare themselves. One life. Chen Feng stood up, looked at the people behind him, and said angrily:??I was so blind that I actually asked you to conspire against me. If I had known this, I would have been better than you even if I had found a few pigs. " Tianxing ordered several soldiers to take Chen Feng down first and keep him under strict supervision. He wiped his weapons in his hands and said casually: "Guys, I have ordered the soldiers to raid all the big households in the county. Your property has long been If it falls into my hands, how can you have any wealth to buy your life? " When several people heard that there was hope of survival, they shouted: "As long as the general releases us, we are willing to hand over the money buried underground to the general. " Tianxing knew that the ancients, especially the rich in the Han Dynasty, liked to hide their money underground in different places to prevent it from being stolen or robbed openly. Looking at the five people who were eager to survive, Tianxing thought for a while and said with a smile: "Everyone, This general has just occupied Laoshan County. I originally wanted to kill you all to calm the people, but as the saying goes, sparing one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so I decided to let three of you survive. "The five people said loudly in unison: "General, let me survive, general, let me survive" Seeing that the time was ripe, he smiled and said, "It's actually not difficult to survive. Now that our army has just been established, we are in urgent need of a lot of money. I don't know, everyone?" " As soon as he finished speaking, a wealthy gentleman said loudly and excitedly: "General, I am willing to provide 500 gold coins to the general. " Another wealthy gentleman said louder: "General, I will pay 600." " "I am 700. " "I am 800. " "I am 1,000. " a few people scrambled to fight, and everyone wanted to win the momentum and money to get the opportunity to survive. Looking at the more and more chaotic scenes, the weapon in Tianxing's hand was fiercely Insert into the ground and say loudly: "Okay, stop arguing, let's do this!" I will send 100 soldiers to follow you to collect the money. In the end, the top three with the highest total wealth will have a chance to survive, and the remaining two will be beheaded directly. "After saying that, he left directly with a domineering tone. Soon, 500 military generals escorted the five people away, happily going to collect the life money of the five people.
