"Have the people from Shuntian Prefecture arrived?" Mao Chengzuo knew that it was absolutely impossible for him and his group to go head-to-head with the Liao army, which was good at conquering and fighting. On the way here, he had already asked a friend who worked in the Beijing Public Security Bureau to mobilize manpower.

.

"Here we come! Master, look." Goldfish pointed with his hand. Three carriages had stopped at the entrance of the alley. A dozen guys with guns were jumping under the carriages.

"Hmph! I'll let you have a taste of my power later and fight with me. Come on!" Seeing the reinforcements at the entrance of the alley, Mao Chengzuo immediately hesitated. With a wave of his hand, a dozen followers behind him surrounded him with sticks.

"Are you from the security regiment? Your regiment leader, Sun Zhijie, was having a drink with me the night before yesterday. You dare to beat my men. Just accept the beating and I will spare you this time. Otherwise...

..., I went to your regiment leader and fired you all." Mao Chengzuo stood up and almost poked Shunzi's nose with his finger.

Shunzi looked back at Sun Zhijie, who was protecting Sun Chengzong in the crowd!

Sun Zhijie's head almost retracted into her chest, and she had already greeted the women of the Mao family eighteen times in her heart.

"Why do you hang out with such a dandy?" Sun Chengzong glanced at his grandson with an unkind look.

In front of this master, Sun Zhijie is a true grandson.

"Grandpa! Just... socializing, socializing!" Sun Zhijie began to sweat on his forehead.

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you when I get home." Sun Chengzong snorted, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction.

Li Xiao gave Shunzi a gesture, and Shunzi understood. The moment he turned his head, his hand had already grasped Mao Chengzuo's finger pointing at him.

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and Mao Chengzuo immediately screamed like a killing pig.

"You...you dare to hurt our eldest young master, the brothers of Shuntian Mansion, go ahead! Shoot! Shoot them." Goldfish saw Mao Chengzuo's fingers being violently broken off, and shrank his neck in fright. Then he looked like

It roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

There was no movement at the entrance of the alley, and no one from Shuntian Mansion came in. The people leading the team were complaining in their hearts! Before all of their people got off the carriage, hundreds of revolvers were already aimed at them.

Revolvers, high-end goods! These police officers only have old-fashioned flintlock rifles, but these people across the street actually have two per person. They have been hanging out on the ground in the capital all year round, so they naturally know that they are in trouble today.

"The people from Shuntian Mansion are not coming!" Li Xiao walked over with his hands behind his back and glanced at Mao Chengzuo, who was still howling.

"Big...! Marshal!" Mao Chengzuo's soul flew away when he saw Li Xiao walking out of the crowd.

"Do you know who this family is? Military family members! Or family members of our martyrs from the Liao Army. You actually dare to do this, raise your head and let me see if you are crazy?" Li Xiao spoke to Mao Chengzuo slowly.

At this moment, Mao Chengzuo's mind suddenly became clearer and he immediately lay down on the ground: "I'm crazy! I'm crazy! Marshal, please spare me this time for the sake of my father. Don't argue with the lunatic."

"Crazy you!" Li Xiao kicked Mao Chengzuo in the face, causing Mao Chengzuo's nose to bleed immediately.

"Military family member! Or two generations of military family members. How dare you treat him like this in broad daylight. Ordinary people don't know what it's like to be bullied by you? Shunzi, break his legs and send him to Shuntian Mansion. I want to see, Yin Jishan

How are we going to interrogate this guy?" Li Xiao glanced at Mao Chengzuo fiercely, turned around and walked towards the orphans and widows in the cold wind.

Mao Chengzuo's screams came from behind, and Li Xiaoquan barked like a dog.

"Old man! I'm sorry, I'm late. Which unit of the Liao army does your son belong to?" Li Xiao walked up to the old woman and saluted her. The old woman hurriedly returned the salute: "Commander! This can make

No, it’s so embarrassing!

My son is from the Fourth Division, and he used to work under Mr. Hu. A few days ago, I heard that he was killed by the Mongols during a battle in a place called Wuwei. As soon as the ashes were returned, these people came to demolish the house.

I said that after the first seven days, they wouldn't allow it.

Marshal, I am really afraid that my son will not be able to find a home when he comes back, and will be a lonely ghost for the rest of his life!" As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes again.

He looked at the white-haired old man, and then at the two children who were waiting to look at Li Xiao with big eyes. Li Xiao seemed to have a piece of cotton stuck in his mouth!

"Old man, since the commander-in-chief is here, you don't have any problem keeping this mourning hall as long as it lasts. Come and help clean up the place." Zhang Huangyan came over from behind and ordered.

A group of soldiers came over and helped pack things. Those who were watching the fun also came over to help.

"Old man, I just broke his legs just to vent your anger. Don't worry, this matter will not be settled so easily. Mr. Zhang, please find a place for these orphans and widowed mothers to stay." Sun Chengzong also came over.

, and bowed his hands to the old woman.

The old woman didn't know who Sun Chengzong was, so she returned the gift in a panic. She didn't expect that the three most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were standing in front of him.

"No!" Zhang Huangyan responded. He saw Yin Jishan hurried over from a distance and waved to him.

Mao Chengzuo's legs were hanging limply, and he had fainted from the pain. With his eyes closed, his face was as white as paper, and he looked as if he was dead.

Goldfish Eyes on the side was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, with a large patch of wetness under his buttocks.

"Dog slave!" Li Xiao squinted and cursed.

"Commander, have mercy on me! Commander, have mercy on me! These are all things Mao Chengzuo asked me to do, and I can't do anything about it. Please forgive me for the fact that I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a three-year-old baby below."

Let's do this this time. If the villain dies, they will all starve to death. Please have mercy, Commander!" The goldfish-eyed head smashed the bricks on the ground and lay motionless on the ground with his butt stuck out.

A dandy like Mao Chengzuo is certainly abominable, but these scoundrels working below are even more abominable. Just to meet the construction deadline, they actually forced the families of the martyrs to move. The most intolerable thing is... actually smashed the urn of the martyrs.

"Get a cage and set up a pole here. Put him in the cage and don't allow him to eat or drink. If he's still alive after two months, let him down. I said, it's not that I haven't given you a chance." Li Xiao used his feet.

He pulled his goldfish-eyed head and ordered in disgust.

"No!" the soldier from the guard group agreed, picked up the goldfish eyes and ran away.

"The rest will be handed over to Shuntian Mansion for trial."

"promise!"

The soldiers carried the people away, and Zhang Huangyan came over and said, "It seems inappropriate for the commander to lynch people like this. After all, the country must be governed by national laws."

"Yes! We need to use national laws, but sometimes, we have to rely on human lives to scare the young people. I hope this guy's wailing can make some people wake up that there are things in this world that they need to fear." Li Xiao said gloomily.

He turned around and left. It looked like he couldn't finish today's Dong Lai Shun.

"Haha! The use of national law is for the common people. The use of lynching is for the officials to see. This guy has a protective temper. He is afraid that his soldiers will be bullied! Now some people are bullying the martyrs of the Liao army. Ready-made babies

Can he let it go if it is left here?

You have been an official for so many years and are well versed in the ways of the court. How come you suddenly can't figure it out?" Sun Chengzong stood behind Zhang Huangyan with a smile.

"I have learned a lesson!" Zhang Huangyan bowed and saluted Sun Chengzong.

Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong both left, and Xiao Zhan came over with the same confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why the always shrewd backstage boss became stupid today.

"Silly boy! What don't you understand? This is to remind the general to govern the country according to law. Today the Liao soldiers were bullied, and people were killed by lynching like this. If the Liao soldiers bully the people in the future, what will they say then? Haha!

Don't think that you can be a good official just by wearing the official uniform of the fifth rank. The real success in court depends on your brains.

What are you looking at! Hurry up and prepare the car for me, do you want me to freeze to death?" After kicking Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan hurriedly found a carriage to send this difficult boss back.

Mao Wenlong, who lived in a villa in Tongzhou, immediately lost his temper when he heard the news about Mao Chengzuo's accident.

At that time, most of the family was massacred by the Tatars in Liaoyang, and only the two sons in their hometown survived. In recent years, the eldest son has been relatively peaceful in his hometown in Jiangsu, but it is this younger son who is not allowed to go around Zhangtai in the capital all day long.

People worry less!

With this kind of character, being an official would harm him. I thought that by letting him do some business, he would be considered a decent earner. But I didn't expect that he would cause such a big disaster.

The Mao family was in chaos, and it was difficult to wake up the old man.

"Hey...!" Mao Wenlong sighed after sitting in the study all day.

"Master! Zuo'er has been spoiled since childhood and has never suffered such a crime. Please go and beg the commander-in-chief to show mercy, otherwise Zuo'er will die in prison." Mao Wenlong's wife cried bitterly outside the door for half an afternoon.

"Master! It's not good, my wife has fainted." There were panicked footsteps outside the door again.

Mao Wenlong opened the door and glanced at his unconscious wife. "Hey...!" He sighed helplessly: "Prepare the car! Go to the Marshal's Mansion."

"No!" The servants rushed to prepare the carriage.

Mao Wenlong went away for a long time, and it was already past nine o'clock at night when he came back.

"Master! How are you?" Mrs. Mao immediately came over and asked nervously.

Mao Wenlong didn't speak, just walked into the study on his own.

"Sir! What's going on? Did the commander-in-chief let our Zuo'er go? You have worked hard for the Liao army for ten years. There is no credit but hard work. Li Xiao can't be without conscience!"

"Shut up! If I hear you say such things again, I will divorce you immediately." Mao Wenlong was furious, like a furious lion.

Mrs. Mao was so frightened that she took two steps back. After decades of marriage, she had never seen Mao Wenlong look like this.

Mao Wenlong walked into the study with heavy steps, and the door of the study was closed immediately.

"You old man, you actually want to divorce me, I won't live anymore...!" Mrs. Mao recovered and started crying and making trouble in the yard.

"Madam! Stop making trouble. The master is also upset. We waited in the Marshal's Mansion for a long time, but we didn't see the Marshal at all. The steward's answer was simple, the Marshal was gone. It can be seen that the Marshal has lost all the basic dignity.

I won't give it to our master anymore. I'm afraid this time, the young master will...!" The old steward who went with Mao Wenlong couldn't go on.

"How could the commander do this if he doesn't see me? Our master has worked hard for the Liao Army for more than ten years..." Mrs. Mao's voice rose another octave.

"If you want the Mao family to die, you can go to the street and scold them. Tonight, you can send our family to the West." Mao Wenlong's deep voice came from the study, the voice seemed to come from the tomb.

Same.

"He...!" followed by the word "dare", swallowed hard and returned to his stomach.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing that Li Xiao did not dare to do. During the Meridian Gate Incident, everyone thought that Li Xiao would definitely compromise if he forced the palace. However, they did not expect that Li Xiao would be so ruthless. The Donglin Party has accumulated talents for hundreds of years.

Most of the items in front of the door were damaged. The remaining ones were all scattered.

The Mao family has lost power and no longer has any power in its hands. For Li Xiao, it is just a piece of meat on the chopping board. To cut off this piece of meat, you just need to lift the knife and drop it.

Mao Wenlong sat blankly in the study, with muddy old tears flowing down his cheeks. If he had not been forced to do so, he would not have gone to see Li Xiao today. If possible, he wanted to spend the rest of his life in this villa.
