I came to this world to open the way

"No, no, no, this is not our leather armor, my lord, this is framed." Li He panicked, why is it different from what he explained, and he didn't confess his crime.

They can still be exiled for the attempted murder before, but they can't admit the crime of hiding armor.

Possession of armor and bows and crossbows is naturally a felony in the criminal law, but now which big family is not prepared, do you count on the government when robbers and bandits come?

Zou Wenyu naturally knows the behavior of big families nowadays. If you say that the Li family has hidden a few pieces of armor, it may be true, but he doesn't believe it if they are worn out to kill people.

He glanced suspiciously at Liu Tu, Yan Zhen and the others. They didn't seem to be capable of conspiracy, so there must be someone behind them.

"Since you said that the leather armor is not yours, are you under the command of someone from your Li family to rob and kill people?" Zou Wenyu walked up to Li He with his hands behind his back and asked condescendingly.

"Li He, you are just an accomplice, but don't be the mastermind. All these weapons are your own property? It's up to you whether you live or die." Yan Zhen whispered indifferently.

"This, this..." Li He was dumbfounded, cold sweat broke out all over his body, he didn't know whether he should take the blame or not.

Some things are fine if you don't put them on the table, but once they are revealed, things will be completely out of control.

In less than an hour, Sun Liangcai, the county lieutenant, led three classes of yamen servants and a whole team of county soldiers on duty, a total of more than 70 people went to Mengyang Township in a mighty manner.

The county lieutenant is the military and political officer in a county, ranking below the county magistrate and county magistrate, from the eighth rank, although the rank is not high, but the military power in his hand is extremely strong.

In the Taiping era, no one paid much attention to it, but now the county lieutenant's status is comparable to that of the county magistrate, and it is not surprising that he stands shoulder to shoulder with the county magistrate in some turbulent places.

No matter how slow the Li family reacted, they still got the news now. After all, Zou Wenyu had no intention of forcing the Li family to rebel, no matter whether the Li family really wanted to rebel or not.

Otherwise, the gates of the city would have been sealed off at this time, and the inside and outside would be banned. All the county soldiers must have been dispatched, instead of bringing more than 20 yamen servants with them.

Li Fu also understood, and quickly sent people to hide all the armor and weapons in the most secret cellar. Only kitchen knives and rusty chopping knives were allowed to appear on the ground.

"Master Sun, with your presence in the countryside, my family is really flourishing." Li Fu solemnly led the family's high-level officials, as well as his direct sons and nephews out to welcome them.

The meaning is obvious, our whole family is here, aboveboard, and absolutely have no intention of rebellion.

Sun Liangcai was also very satisfied with Li Fu's attitude, he didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, his trip was just a formality.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I don't know if Patriarch Li knows the reason for my visit? Someone in your family has committed a crime." Sun Liangcai got off his horse, and the soldiers behind him dispersed and surrounded the main house of the Li family.

Many clansmen were in a state of panic, and some of them who had never seen the world were so frightened by Bingjia's siege that they cried.

But Li Fu didn't even shake his eyelids, he still greeted Sun Liangcai into the door with a smile, clapped his hands, and a servant came out with an exquisite wooden box.

The deputy Sun Liangcai next to him also took it with great interest, opened the box, and rows of silver beads were neatly placed.

Sun Liangcai stroked his beard, nodded nonchalantly, and let people put it away, he is a sensible person.

"Then Patriarch Li, I'm going to do a routine business. Come and search for me, focusing on checking whether there are any prohibited weapons." After receiving the benefits, Sun Liangcai did not retreat, but called the yamen servants outside the door to search.

Under the leadership of the squad leader, the yamen servants swarmed in and searched scatteredly.

"Don't touch other people's things, be careful." Sun Liangcai's words made the servants pause, as if they had realized something.

Li Fu and several clan elders also heaved a sigh of relief. The county captain Sun still took money to do things. The sentence just now told them that there would be no problem. They didn't see that it was the yamen servants who searched.

In other places in the township, there was a lot of discussion. Many villagers who usually don't go to the city to sell things, but on this day they all brought a little of their own specialties to the city to sell.

But their goal is not to sell things, but to strike up a conversation with "city people".

"Have you heard? Just now, soldiers entered the city and surrounded the main house of the Li family."

"Yeah, it's scary. Do you want to raid the house?"

"No way, the ancestors of the Li family had a master Juren."

"Why not, go and see for yourself, the officers and soldiers locked up the Li family and didn't let them leave." You said one sentence to another, and more and more people gathered together to join in the fun.

And the Li family, who is usually in charge of managing the order of the village and city, also ran to the vicinity of the master's house early to wait for news at this time. Who cares about these small people.

"Let me tell you, the Li family probably offended the God of the Land, otherwise, how could disaster come to them so quickly." A villager who looked a bit shrewd said to everyone mysteriously.

"Land god? The patriarch ordered us not to believe in the land god, oh, is this the reason?" A land believer in Funing village pretended to be a side branch of Li's family at the moment, and said "heavenly secret".

"God of the land, it's very effective. His old man went up the mountain to slaughter the tiger demon some time ago. Haven't you heard of it?" Immediately, someone cooperated and pulled out a giant tiger tooth that was three times larger than ordinary tiger teeth from his bosom.

"It's real Huya, it's actually real, the land god is so powerful, why doesn't the patriarch let us believe in it?" This time, the real Li people spoke out.

"Be careful, don't let the people in the direct line know, otherwise, your field will definitely be taken back." The companion next to him quickly stopped his doubts and reminded.

The Li family member was so frightened that he quickly looked around to see if he knew anyone, turned around and left the crowd, and at the same time muttered: "I secretly believe, who knows."

Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the small town, and the hearts of the Li clan were in turmoil. For a while, many descendants of the Li clan who didn't know where they were, invited a statue of the land god to hide in their homes.

Not far from the town, Chen Yao took Li Yuan and a newly recruited civil servant to look at the chaos in the city from a distance, and nodded with satisfaction.

He praised the two of them: "Your plan is very clever. This time, I will see if the Li family is dissatisfied."

"My lord, Zhang Yi came up with this plan, and he didn't deserve any credit for it." Li Yuan cupped his hands and said humbly.

The new recruit's full name was Zhang Yi, and he was a member of the Zhang family in the county seat. He passed the examination as a scholar before he was 20 years old, but he was frail and sick, and a small wind and cold actually killed him.

"Without the help of Li Sili, the plan would not be so perfect." Although Zhang Yi was proud of his talent, he had died once and understood how to behave in the world.

Because of his close personal relationship with Yan Zhen, Zhang Yi also believed in the God of the Land, but the time was too short and he didn't accumulate enough faith to allow Chen Yao to heal his illness.

By chance, he was discovered by a ghost patrol near the county seat and brought back to God's Domain.

He worshiped Chen Yao as the master, and the first thing he did was to plan to mess up the Li family, hoping to use this as a step forward.

Under Chen Yao's instruction, Yan Zhen's purpose from the beginning was not to really seize the Li family and exterminate the family, but to take advantage of the wind to make them mess up.

Whose killer ambushed a few villagers and still wore armor, but not wearing it does not mean that you cannot be said to have worn it. Now that the confession of blocking the road and killing people is admitted, it is not too strange to wear armor.

"Li Yuan, don't be humble. It will be your turn to be the leader, and you have to convince them." Chen Yao whispered, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was planning.
