Chapter 471: Isn’t it good to be happy for nothing?
"ah!"
Han Shuo let out a miserable scream and fell to his knees on the ground.
Xu Ping'an stood not far from him with a sword in his hand, and not far from him, a broken arm lay quietly.
The bright red blood slowly dripped onto the ground along the sword, and the scene was extremely bloody.
He just glanced at Han Shuo coldly and walked back behind Lin Mo.
Han Shuo's face turned pale with pain and he began to tremble.
He stared at Lin Mo with resentment in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her.
Lin Mo's eyes were cold, "Are you forcing me to kill you now?"
At this point, she shook her head, with a hint of mockery in her eyes:
"I call you the City Lord. Do you think you are really worthy of being the City Lord?"
Lin Mo sneered and shook his head:
"Han Shuo, just do your job as a mascot, just like before.
If you can't even be a good mascot, then there's no point in existing."
To her, Han Shuo was the mascot placed in this position. It wasn't necessary for her to have him. Replacing him with someone else might just be a little more troublesome.
Han Shuo pressed his left hand against the wound on his right hand, forcing himself not to faint. He gritted his teeth and glared, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court..."
"Yeah, I know." Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head:
"So I hired a knife for you. I have packed up everything you have done over the years, the evidence and witnesses you left behind, and sent them all to the capital.
If anything happens to me, the evidence and witnesses will be sent to the emperor."
When he said this, Lin Mo laughed even more wildly. "Tell me, if your deeds are exposed, how many of your Han family's ancestors' corpses will be dug up and whipped?"
Han Shuo's eyes widened in fear, his gaze wandering.
He wasn't sure if she was lying to him.
"That's right!" Lin Mo stood up straight, with a slight smile on his face.
"I have sent your lover and the two children born to your lover to a safe place, so you should just be a good mascot.
Don't do anything tricky, otherwise you will be the sinner of your Han family. You don't want the Han family to be extinct because of you!
By the way, your two children are quite good-looking."
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Han Shuo could no longer control himself and fainted.
Lin Mo looked at him coldly, then turned and left.
Sun Meilan looked at the fallen Han Shuo, the murderous intent in her eyes growing stronger.
It should be safe to take action at this time.
Get started!
Hurry up and kill him, and the Sun family will be avenged.
Sun Meilan screamed wildly in her heart!
She also followed her inner urge and slowly walked towards Han Shuo. At the same time, she took out a small and exquisite dagger from her bosom.
The dagger was unsheathed, and its cold edge looked particularly charming in the dark night.
But Sun Meilan stopped when she was only three steps away from Han Shuo.
She breathed heavily, staring at Han Shuo fiercely.
She was not sure whether Lin Mo would stop her if she tried to kill Han Shuo.
Lin Mo could have killed him, but he didn't. It was obvious that he was useful to him.
If I wanted to kill him, I was afraid she would stop me.
She can't do it!
"You're lucky!"
Sun Meilan cursed coldly, then kicked Han Shuo hard before turning around and leaving quickly.
Old Wei, who followed Lin Mo out of the door, frowned:
“Actually, you should kill him.
If you cut off one of his hands, I'm afraid he will hate you completely.
Someone like him who is used to living in the dark, once he hates someone, will do whatever it takes to get revenge."
Doing so would only leave them with greater hidden dangers.
Therefore, there is no need to keep such people.
Lin Mo smiled and shook her head, "Han Shuo is stubborn and self-righteous, he can't cause any big waves.
And with a broken arm, he's more likely to go to extremes.
But if someone else takes this seat, it will be disadvantageous to us.
Besides…"
A calculation flashed in Lin Mo's eyes:
"What would his legitimate son do if he knew that he had been using him and had no intention of leaving the family fortune to him?
Besides, aren't you and the Sun family holding him accountable?"
Therefore, Lin Mo never worried that Han Shuo was a threat.
She has many ways to control Han Shuo.
When he wakes up, he will know what is best for him.
Old Wei glanced at her and left.
But when he left, he left a message:
"If you have any good wine, remember to bring it to me."
Lin Mo smiled, "Okay!"
At this moment, Sun Meilan also chased out.
She still asked unwillingly, "Can I kill him?"
"Why do you have to kill him?" Lin Mo asked back:
"Isn't it good to see him living a life worse than death, barely surviving like a dog?"
Sun Meilan was stunned.
Lin Mo reached out and patted her shoulder, "Sometimes, death is a relief, but living is the greatest torture for some people.
Do you think he can still control you now?"
Tsk tsk, he lost an arm, all his money, and was left with only an empty shell of a city lord. What was there to be afraid of?
Sun Meilan understood, suddenly laughed, and nodded:
"You're right, it's really too easy for him to die like this.
Madam Xu, you think more deeply than me, so let's have some fun first?"
Sun Meilan smiled deeply and maliciously.
Lin Mo likes smart people like her who understand things quickly.
"Mrs. Xu, how long do you want to use him?" Sun Meilan said bluntly, making her position clear. "After you're done using him, can you please leave him to me?"
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Three years. When you like, feel free to take it away."
"Okay, three years!" Sun Meilan said angrily:
"In the past three years, I will play some little jokes with City Lord Han. Madam Xu won't mind, right?"
When she was about to speak, Sun Meilan took the lead:
"Don't worry, I won't take his life."
But she couldn't guarantee what she would do in the process, but she could guarantee that she would not take his life.
"Just play around." Lin Mo shrugged, "Just keep your breath."
Sun Meilan gritted her teeth and said, "Also, could you please let that bastard in my house out?"
As for my stupid son, you can continue to stay with me and be a free long-term worker. You can use him as much as you want, don't mind. "
Without destruction, there is no construction.
Her son is spoiled and will never be able to stand on his own feet without going through some hardships.
The most important thing is your three views.
If he stays with Madam Xu and the others, his worldview will definitely change.
"The former is easy, but the latter is not." Lin Mo shook his head:
"Your eldest son is not good at anything. He keeps thinking about running away. I have to arrange a few people to keep an eye on him every day to prevent him from running away.
It’s a waste of effort…”
Looking at the stack of banknotes handed to him, Lin Mo smiled and took the banknotes:
“Having money makes things different.
Don't worry, I will arrange a few good talkers to keep an eye on him every day, make sure he works hard, and won't let him leave Beijia Village within this year."
After saying this, he started counting the banknotes with a smile.
At this time, Zhang Tiancheng, who was far away in Beijia Village and was studying the escape route, suddenly sneezed.
After sneezing, he rubbed his nose and asked, "Did anyone miss me?"
Mrs. Sun here looked at Lin Mo's greedy look and said she didn't understand.
She said she liked money, but I never saw her asking that villain Han Shuo for it.
She was said to not love money, but now she is counting banknotes like a money-grubber.
Very contradictory!
Lin Mo counted the silver notes, a total of five thousand taels.
Make money!
He looked up and saw Madam Sun looking at him strangely. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Yeah." Madam Sun nodded and expressed her doubts directly.
"As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. I do have my own pursuits." Lin Mo looked mysterious.
Haha, wouldn’t it be nice to make someone happy for nothing?
There was a hint of ill intent in Lin Mo's eyes.
She was looking forward to Han Shuo's expression when he found out that the 150,000 taels of silver and his old savings were gone. It should be quite exciting.
Sun Meilan shook her head, feeling that she had more plans than just this.
After talking to her for a few words, Sun Meilan said goodbye.
After getting on the carriage, she looked at Old Zhang who was driving the carriage in front, "Uncle Zhang, what do you think the Xu family is planning?
They could obviously kill Han Shuo, so why didn't they kill him and instead kept him alive?"
Sun Meilan couldn't understand what Lin Mo was planning.
He couldn't even think of what the point of keeping Han Shuo was.
"Miss, the Xu family has great ambitions." Old Zhang's voice sounded particularly steady in the dark night.
“If my guess is correct, the Xu family might want to establish themselves as king.
They want to make this area of Mocheng belong to their Xu family.
But they are still relatively young, so they need a pawn they can manipulate to shield them from the imperial court's gaze, and Han Shuo is the perfect candidate."
Sun Meilan was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she couldn't help laughing:
“I don’t know why, but I’m looking forward to it.
My father once wanted to turn this place that no one wanted to come into a paradise that everyone yearned for. If the Xu family could accomplish what he couldn't, it would be great."
Therefore, she was right not to kill Han Shuo tonight.
Old Zhang nodded and said, "Becoming the Xu family's home will only benefit the people. The Xu family has always been kind and benevolent. We will not offend others unless they offend us.
This way, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer have to leave their homes and become rootless drifters."
"Well, with the Xu family here, I believe it can be accomplished!" Sun Meilan looked at the starry sky outside and said silently:
Dad, what you wanted to do but didn’t do back then is now being done by someone else. Are you happy?
"Uncle Zhang, prepare the sacrifices tomorrow. I want to go and pay my respects to my parents. Now I can finally pay my respects to them with dignity." Sun Meilan's eyes were red.
"Yes, miss!"
…
As for Lin Mo, after separating from Sun Meilan, he got on a carriage and headed towards Yuancheng overnight.
