Chapter 46: Bloodbath in the County
Logically speaking, Lin Yue, living in the apocalypse, has become accustomed to death, but why is her heart so painful at this moment that her breathing is trembling?
Lin Yue wished she could rush out and kill all those greedy and inhumane officials.
But he couldn't. There were still dozens of people in the Lin family. If he just wanted revenge, he would drag all his family members into the water, and all the Lin family members would die.
It doesn't matter, she can wait.
No matter whether they are officials from Lingnan or Prince Jing who is high above the temple, she will not let any of them go.
However, I will collect some interest first and then massacre the county town to bury my second sister-in-law with her!
The cold wind made Lin Yue's clothes rustle, and her eyes were full of bloodthirstiness and madness.
Tonight's night seemed to come earlier than usual. Lin Yiyan mechanically walked towards Baixiang Village with the lifeless You Dai on his back. Even though he was so tired that his legs were shaking, he had no intention of asking his family for help. He stubbornly wanted to take his wife home by himself.
Because preparations had been made in advance, the grave and coffin were already ready. After a simple wash and meal, the Lin family buried the dead You Dai in tears.
Lin Yue was ready to bury all the officials in the county with her sister-in-law.
"Sister Yue, where are you going?"
Min slept very uneasily and was woken up by the slightest movement.
In the middle of the night, she saw her daughter dressed neatly, ready to go out with a murderous look on her face.
"Mom, go to sleep! I'll be back soon."
Lin Yue was not good at lying, especially since Min might have guessed what she was going to do.
"Sister Yue, this is fate, the fate of our Lin family. We should bear it if we can. Don't go and don't put yourself in it.
If you kill those officials at this stage, our situation may become even worse. What should we do then?"
Mrs. Min was a little anxious. She had already lost her daughter-in-law and grandson in the morning, and she didn't want to lose any more relatives.
Lin Yue was silent. The officials she saw today were so greedy and ruthless. How many people would the Lin family lose after working non-stop all day?
"Mom, how many people do you think will be left in the Lin family after such intense work?"
Lin Yueyou's voice was particularly calm.
However, Min shuddered, obviously thinking of the scene where the Lin family members died one after another due to overwhelm.
"Today you have also seen how greedy the officials supervising you are. They don't care about your life or death, and they don't even care whether the river water will spread.
You only care about how much money you can squeeze out of us. Let's put it another way, we're using money to buy peace. With so many people in our Lin family, if we give too much, we might be targeted. I don't need to remind you of the consequences!"
Min was shaken.
"But this is how the exiles have lived these years. Can't we? Aren't we planning to build a boat and find the island?
If a fugitive murders someone in Lingnan, I'm afraid the entire province will be under martial law, and our newly begun path to making money will be cut off!"
Mrs. Min was still very worried about her daughter and her safety.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely. If you can't sleep, you can think about how to comfort your second brother. I took a look and saw that he was still at his sister-in-law's grave.
Even a strong body can't stand him not eating, drinking or sleeping like this. You should go and try to persuade him!"
Sure enough, Min's attention was diverted.
Because she believed in Weng Toubai's social skills, Lin Yue was not afraid of killing good people by mistake. She could also find these people in the shortest time and send them to see the King of Hell.
In the middle of the night, heavy rain continued to fall, cleaning up the traces that should not have existed.
He climbed over the city wall and walked towards the nearest official's residence. On the way, Weng Toubai told Lin Yue about the general situation of this person. After listening, he clenched his hands tightly, thinking bitterly in his heart that his decision was indeed right.
This man was called Xie Yuaner. His ancestors had all lived in Lingnan. Because he was very good at fighting, he challenged all the "masters" in the county, whether they were local hooligans or government officials.
With his fighting ability, he quickly attracted the appreciation of the chief officer of the police, and naturally became an officer, starting his business of bullying the locals.
Those who were sent to the Lingnan area to serve as county magistrates either offended someone or had no background. Basically, they would spend their entire lives there, so the officials were basically in collusion with each other.
During the five years he served as an official, he raped the women in the convict group, killed five of them, extorted thousands of taels of money from them, and used his power to settle the matter of his son gouging out someone's eyes.
He was also jealous of his boss because he "earned" more money, but in fact he killed him because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. He would whip the fugitives if he didn't like them, or kill them with a knife if he was unhappy.
It is hard to list them all. Lin Yue would not even blink an eye when taking action against such a person.
Lin Yue quietly approached his home. Oh wow, he even lived in a big blue brick and tile house. It seemed that he had been greedy for a lot.
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue, there's a big wolfdog inside. It's very fierce. Be careful."
Did he buy this person to guard the gate because he knew he had done too many immoral things and was afraid of being retaliated against?
Fortunately, she had guessed that this would happen and brought the smoke. The smoke was so fleeting that it would not leave any trace.
Lin Yue squatted on the tree and waited patiently for the big wolfhound guarding the door to sleep even more deeply before taking any action.
A cold light flashed, blood splattered, and when he left, he took away most of their property and hurried to the next house.
Half an hour later, Lin Yue used a tattered piece of clothing to put all the silver she had stolen into this gloomy, dilapidated and deserted house.
According to the information provided by the flowers and plants, most of the officials in the county had been killed. Those whose crimes were less serious had only their money stolen. In the process, the wealthy and unkind businessmen in the city were also robbed to create the illusion of robbery.
As for the county government, Lin Yue said that they could wait a while before killing the magistrate. If it was really the magistrate who was killed, the prefect would definitely send people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But it’s different now. I’m used to being the local tyrant in my own territory. How could I provoke an ancestor to come back and worship him?
According to Weng Toubai's summary of murders over the years, basically, big things were turned into small things, small things were turned into nothing, and finally they were left unresolved.
Now the remaining officials in the county still basically have a conscience and will not harass the fugitives at will. Although they also accept bribes, they will also help them with anything they need.
Even if we need to find temporary workers, they will be recommended by these old officials, or they will be the leaders. This time of conscription, as long as we find the right method, life will be much easier!
As expected, at dawn the next day, the city was bustling with activity, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, and everyone went to the county government office in a mighty procession.
But it was all talk and no action. In the end, the county magistrate classified this as a theft case. Twenty or thirty officials died, but it was finally classified as a theft case. It was really ridiculous!
