Zhao Changgui was quickly dragged to the gallows by two brave men. One of the young brave men threw Zhao Changgui to the ground, then put a thick rope around his neck and shouted "scum" in a low voice.

Zhao Changgui was tied around the neck with a thick rope. He was so frightened that he struggled desperately, but his hands were tied and he could not untie the noose at all.

The bottom is already full of feces and urine.

At the command, Zhao Changgui was hanged. His neck was broken under the tension of the rope. His whole face was red, and he twisted his body to regain air. However, all this was in vain, and he soon suffocated.

die.

Some villagers did not dare to look at the corpse, and some brave ones even stepped forward and spat on the corpse.

When Wang Bao and other criminals on the side saw this scene, they were all frightened. Seeing familiar people turn into corpses in an instant, they finally felt scared.

"Little benefactor, please spare me, please spare me."

"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."

The sound of begging for mercy sounded, and everyone looked at Wang Bao and others with a little unbearable in their eyes.

But with the existence of the township covenant and the existence of the township nursing home that maintains the implementation of the township covenant, everyone who deserves it will face his or her own end.

The trial lasted from morning to afternoon. For the principals, their crimes were punished more severely than ordinary people. This was the decision of Anxinxiang Nursing Home and it was also the biggest deterrent.

This time, Zhao Changgui, the head of Zhao Township, and Wang Bao, the head of Wangjia Village, were hanged. Their bodies were hung on thick ropes and floated in the wind. Other principals also dealt with them in their own way. Some whole families were demoted as criminals, and some were dismissed from their posts.

Hard labor, various treatments, and severe punishments.

The news of what happened in Zhaoxiang quickly spread throughout Anxin, but Li Yi did not give up. He went to Baizexiang again and punished a security chief, giving the Anxin chiefs a lesson that they will remember deeply.

The lesson learned this time also made Li Yi understand that the supervision of rural nursing homes is still not deep enough.

If it weren't for Xu Caihou's intelligence bureau that had been collecting evidence, Anxin Township Nursing Home would not have been aware of these crimes at all. Therefore, Li Yi stipulated that the township nursing home could not live in Anxin City permanently and must go to various villages at regular intervals to collect information.

Then review.

Returning to Anxin, Li Yi did not rest, but went to Zhang Qian's family.

Zhang Qianyi seemed to have expected Li Yi to come back. He opened the door and sat in the hall waiting for Li Yi.

Li Yi sat down and looked at Zhang Qian: "Mr. Zhang, why is this happening?"

Zhang Qian said: "Little benefactor, I don't ask you to understand, I only want to die to atone for my sins."

After saying that, he took out the dagger from his sleeve and slashed his neck.

Li Yi did not expect Zhang Qianyi to be so strong, so he quickly grabbed the dagger and rescued Zhang Qianyi.

Helping Zhang Qianyi up, Li Yi said: "Mr. Zhang, why are you doing this?"

Zhang Qian said: "Although Anxin is desolate, it is also the homeland left by our ancestors for generations. I am naturally happy for the refugees to move in and build Anxin, but the customs of the two sides are different. They worship the ancestral temple and make offerings."

Great God, there is chaos and conflict, and if things go on like this for a long time, the gods will blame them, what should we do?"

Li Yi did not expect that Zhang Qianyi's intention to support the local people in Anxin was actually because they worshiped different ghosts and gods, so he was stunned at the moment.

However, people like Zhang Qianyi still firmly believe in ghosts and gods. They all believe that with the introduction of refugee customs, the gods that protect the Anxin locals will definitely decline. In this way, the Anxin locals will also face disaster. That's why this is the case.

Do.

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhang respects ghosts and gods, but when the bandits in Baiyangdian harmed Anxin, why didn't the ghosts and gods that Mr. Zhang believed in come to save you?"

As soon as Zhang Qian heard that Li Yi disrespected ghosts and gods, he waved his crutch and hit Li Yi with an angry face, and said angrily: "Li Yi, you are not allowed to disrespect ghosts and gods."

Li Yi was not angry, but looked at Zhang Qian and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are also a poor person. When you worshiped ghosts and gods, what happened to Anxin? It became deserted. You are the only old man who sticks to the village and is unwilling to flee.

. But now, it is because I, An Xin, do not worship those illusory ghosts and gods that I can strive for excellence, borrow An Xin's technology to build workshops, cultivate fields, and obtain bumper harvests. Don't you look at the things that appear in front of you?

Do you want to believe in those ghosts and gods?"

Zhang Qian breathed heavily and said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to blaspheme ghosts and gods, you will definitely be struck by lightning from the sky."

Li Yi said: "The sky strikes with thunder and lightning. Now the Anxin gunpowder is the thunder, the artillery is the sky. The sky strikes with thunder and lightning. Now the sky is in our hands, and the thunder is also in our hands. When the sky strikes with thunder and strike, it is also we who strike with thunder and strike at others."

As soon as Zhang Qian heard this, he sat down in rough clothes and looked at Li Yi angrily.

Li Yi said: "Mr. Zhang, Anxin is changing rapidly and everyone is rich. Why should you be conservative and self-proclaimed?"

Zhang Qian looked at Li Yi coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense, how do you plan to punish me?"

Li Yidao: "From now on, Anxin's financial power will be handed over to his agent for management. I also ask Mr. Zhang to take care of his family and rest at home."

Zhang Qianyi looked at Li Yi in disbelief and said, "You want to put me under house arrest?"

Li Yi said: "Mr. Zhang, you have violated the village agreement. This kind of punishment has made you miss your old feelings. I hope Mr. Zhang will not make it difficult for me."

"Then what do you plan to do with the people I promoted before? Do you want to kill them all?" Zhang Qianyi looked at Li Yi coldly.

Li Yidao: "Those who are virtuous will naturally be put to good use. Those who are ungrateful will naturally be punished according to the village agreement."

After saying that, Li Yi turned around and left.

Zhang Qianyi looked at Li Yi's back and said: "Zizheng, An Xin is like this. You have indeed contributed a lot. But what is the real situation? You can't just look at the work of wealth. What's more important is the protection of ghosts and gods. Don't be obsessed with it."

Li Yi laughed angrily and said: "Mr. Zhang, you may be right to keep tradition. But I will definitely not be wrong in developing Anxin."

After saying that, he never looked back and turned around to leave.

Li Yi returned home and explained the situation to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch also sighed: "It's not wrong for Zhang Qian to miss the old feelings and stick to the tradition. Unfortunately, he never understood that in order to support the local people in Anxin, he did not distinguish between good and evil, and caused some evil people to cause harm to the hometown. This is his sin.

.”

Li Yi heard this and said: "The old patriarch also agrees with his theory of ghosts and gods?"

The old patriarch looked at Li Yi's expression and said, "Zizheng, you don't have to believe in ghosts and gods, but you can't disrespect them."

Li Yi looked at the serious look on the old patriarch's face and nodded gently.

After Anxin was reorganized, the atmosphere slowly changed.

The Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces are mentioned again, and everything is going in a good direction.

But Li Yi understood that An Xin still had a time bomb, and that was Wei Zhongxian.

Ever since Wei Zhongxian's lair in Taihang Mountain was discovered by Li Yi, Wei Zhongxian has been staying in Anxin.

He built a manor deep in Baiyangdian and had fun every day. He often sent carriages to pick up beauties from the south of the Yangtze River to have fun. It was very comfortable.

But Li Yi understood that Wei Zhongxian's health was getting worse and worse. In the first year of Chongzhen's reign, he was often incontinent, and this year he was even sicker. Everyone knew that he might not survive this year.

Li Yi was very satisfied with this situation.

You must know that Emperor Chongzhen hated Wei Zhongxian deeply, and blamed all the reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty on Wei Zhongxian. If he knew that Wei Zhongxian was hiding in Anxin, Anxin would definitely be punished, and it would probably be a devastating blow.

Li Yi took Zhu Qilong into Baiyangdian, passed through the checkpoint of An Xin Yongding on the first floor, and then passed through the checkpoint of Wei Zhongxian's warriors. Li Yi finally arrived in front of the manor.

Hou Ji walked up, exuding fragrance, which made Li Yi frown slightly.

Hou Ji couldn't help but bow to Li Yi and said, "Sir, you are a rare visitor. Why are you here today?"

Li Yi looked at the manor and said, "I heard that Eunuch Wei was in poor health, so I came here to visit."

After hearing this, Hou Ji quietly walked up and said in a low voice: "Sir, Jiu Qiansui hates when others say he is in poor health. Otherwise, he will become furious and cannot control himself."

Li Yi nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you Eunuch Hou Ji for reminding me."

Hou Ji covered his mouth and smiled: "You are still polite to me. If I encounter difficulties in the future, I hope that the young master can save my life."

After Hou Ji finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Li Yi.

Li Yi was slightly startled, looked at Hou Ji and said, "If father-in-law is in trouble, just tell me."

After hearing Li Yi's assurance, Hou Ji's smile became more sincere and he led Li Yi in.

As soon as he entered the manor, Li Yi was stunned by the garden inside.

The manor does not occupy a large area, so the garden in front of it is not large, but it is exquisite, with pavilions, flowers, birds and fish, and is very elegant.

When Li Yi saw it, he couldn't help but admired: "Nine thousand years old is really a good thing to enjoy."

Hou Ji smiled and said: "My father-in-law can't go far, so he naturally wants to make the manor more comfortable. Young Master, please come with me."

Li Yi followed Hou Ji to a hall, and passed through a thick curtain. Wei Zhongxian was lying on a lounge chair, and was being served by three maids.

The three maidservants served her carefully, not daring to make any mistakes.

Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian frowned. He could feel his liver hurting again, and he quickly asked: "Where is the medicine? Where is my medicine?"

The maid quickly stood up and stuffed the medicine into Wei Zhongxian's mouth.

Another maid brought warm tea. Wei Zhongxian took a brief sip and swallowed the pills before feeling the pain subside a little.

However, the degree of weakening was really limited. Wei Zhongxian still looked very tormented, and the pain became more and more severe. His body was shaking, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed that he was really uncomfortable.

The maid next to her saw the face and stepped forward, with a panicked look on her face: "Chitose, Chitose..."

She was about to step forward to check, but Wei Zhongxian suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled the maid. Her expression was full of pain, but she could only grit her teeth and dare not scream.

Instead, Wei Zhongxian shouted: "It hurts, it hurts."

Hou Ji quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wei Zhongxian and said, "Eunuch, how are you doing?"

A trace of madness flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, and he shouted: "It hurts me to death, Hou Ji, Hou Ji, please help me."
