Pig Killer

Chapter 223

"What do the family members think? This is a capital crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Some people support it, but of course there are also those who oppose it." Huang's mother frowned and looked at her and said, "Some women in the family are hesitant. This is a capital crime. If it fails, the whole family will be executed. The eldest brother and the children are so excited that their eyes are glowing green, like hungry wolves. They all support it. They are really not afraid of death."

"In fact, Da Chong's father didn't want to be the leader. Just because he escaped from the imperial mausoleum, he deserved the death penalty." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes and said, "If we fight our way out, we can still have a chance of survival. If we disband the team and fight alone, we will really die, and we will die faster."

"Isn't it possible to hide?" Huang's mother hesitated and said in a low voice.

You can hide from the monk but you can't hide from the temple, Shen Hui'e complained in her heart, there is no temple for monks now.

"You can't escape the fifteenth if you escape the first." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark eyes and said, pursing her lips, "What if someone tells us that we are the real traitor? They will take our heads and make us rich!"

"So many people ran away, and they don't know who the second child is?" Huang's mother said with luck, "They can't match the number."

"The name of Da Chong's father is all registered. It shows where he is from, how old he is, and how many people are in his family. It's easy for them to catch him! Otherwise, how could they catch me so accurately!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with dark eyes and said, "Then it won't just be me that will be arrested. My whole family will be arrested. After all, Da Chong's father is the leader."

"Ah..." Huang's mother's face drooped and her shoulders collapsed, as if her spine had been pulled out.

"And even if there was no such thing as Da Chong's father, our attack on the county government office and opening the granaries to release grain would have been a serious crime." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark pupils.

"It wasn't us who attacked the county government office and killed the county magistrate." Huang's mother sat up straight and immediately retorted, then added, "We avenged the county magistrate."

"We are the ones who open the warehouses and release the grain!!" Shen Hui'e said to her with her ink-black eyes.

"Can't we explain it to the court?" Huang's mother said without giving up.

"Will the court listen? Our words don't carry any weight at all." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said, "It's too risky to entrust our lives to others. I'm afraid they will use our heads to establish their military merits!"

"Ah!" Huang's mother's eyes almost popped out of the window when she heard this, "This works too."

"Killing innocent people to claim credit is not something that has only happened now." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark eyes and said, "We are now just a stepping stone for others to advance."

"Ah... uh..." Huang's mother looked at her in astonishment, her mouth opening and closing, and she said with a sad face, "What should I do?"

"Thinking of surrendering will not end well." Shen Hui'e looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Even if you are tolerant and forgive us this time, you must remember that there will be a reckoning later." She stroked her index finger across her brow and said, "They have power in their hands. If they want to punish us, they have plenty of ways to do it, and they still let us suffer in silence."

"A great man should not be so petty as to not bear grudges!" Huang's mother looked at her hesitantly and said.

"Tsk..." Shen Hui'e sneered and said unhappily, "Their minds are smaller than the nose of a needle." She pursed her lips and said, "Don't hold out any hope. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."

Huang's mother clenched her fists, loosened them, and clenched them again. "You don't have to be the leader! I... I'm not... I'm nothing. Just grab the leader. The others are fine."

"Only the main culprit will be punished! The law cannot hold everyone responsible." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it means." Huang's mother nodded vigorously when she heard it.

Shen Hui'e closed her eyes, looked at her innocently and said, "Everything else is fine, but this is absolutely impossible."

"Why?" Huang's mother looked at her with her eyes wide open.

"This is rebellion!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with her deep and dark eyes and said, "So, the superiors can tolerate corrupt officials and all kinds of crimes, but this one is totally impossible. If we want to overthrow them, it's either you or me, we have to cut the grass and eradicate it completely."

"Ah!" Huang's mother's shoulders suddenly slumped when she heard this.

"How can we tolerate corrupt officials?" Shen Changsheng lifted the curtain and walked in.

"You are all here." Shen Hui'e looked at the Shen brothers and the Huang brothers who came in later and said, "Sit down!" Then she stood up and walked towards the kang.

"How can you tolerate corrupt officials?" Shen Penglai looked at her curiously and asked.

"What can I say? It's just human nature. Who doesn't want money?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said bluntly, "Corrupt officials have always been difficult to deal with, and it's hard to deal with them!" After a pause, she continued, "Corrupt officials can be killed, and their property can be confiscated, but it's just temporarily placed with the corrupt officials."

"Ah..." Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"How come I'm wrong?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement and said, "That's the fact!" She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "No matter how much money a corrupt official gets, he will spend as much as he wants." She looked at them with a smile and said, "A mansion with a huge bed, a small bed, and fertile fields, but only three meals a day."

This left them speechless.

"The superiors think differently. We wish to chop corrupt officials into pieces." Shen Hui'e rubbed her nose with her index finger and said, "In the eyes of the superiors, they are just piggy banks." She said with a firm look in her eyes, "Of course corrupt officials should be killed! No matter how many they are killed, it is not excessive. Corruption in the government shakes the foundation of the country." She changed the subject and said, "What we are doing now is to overthrow them and kill them. How can they let you go!"

"I've told you a long time ago, you're going to die anyway, so you might as well fight and carve out a bloody path." Huang Zhongchang said to his mother with his dark eyes.

"I'm just afraid of failure." Huang's mother said, pulling her sleeves and wiping her tears.

"Why do you always think the worst?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a smile and said, "What if it succeeds?"

"You little brat, you said just in case. How slim is this chance?" Huang's mother patted his back and said, "Let's not talk about how powerful the imperial court is. Everyone else is more powerful than us."

"I will take my people and leave next spring." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "I will never let you down."

"You little bastard!" Huang's mother and the Huang brothers said in unison.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huang's mother pounded his back.

"I just don't want to implicate you." Huang Zhongchang said to them with red eyes.

"We are a family, so why are we talking about being implicated?" Huang Bochang looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "Before you came back, we also attacked the government office, which was also a capital crime."

"It's just my second brother. It's none of your business." Huang Shuchang comforted him, "Don't think too much. Just fight them."

"Since we have decided to fight them, we must be of one mind." Shen Changsheng said, clenching his fists and making up his mind, "Let's take a gamble! If we win, we will be the best from now on, and if we lose, the worst that can happen is death." Pointing outside, he said, "The two boxes we just brought in." Pointing to the two large wooden boxes in the middle of the room, he said, "This is the silver money earned in the past two years, about two thousand gold! You can use it!"

"Brother-in-law!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with a moved expression.

"You have to be healthy so that you can keep these things. If you are not, we will lose everything." Shen Changsheng looked at him gently and said, "You must live well!"

"Hmm!" Huang Zhongchang responded with a heavy nasal tone.

"We are all fine."

"This... this is full of gold." Huang Shuchang jumped down from the bed, walked to the box in two or three steps, opened it, "Wow..."

The golden cakes are so dazzling that they can blind people's eyes, and they are neatly stacked in wooden boxes.

"Brother-in-law, why do you have so much money?" Huang Bochang looked at him with his eyes as big as copper bells.

"I made money from it!" Shen Changsheng said quickly, "Second sister came up with the idea, and I ran errands."

"Second sister-in-law?" The Huang family members all looked at Shen Hui'e.

"I used to think about making more money and building a better future for my son." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said, "So that they don't have to worry about the future."

"What did my second sister-in-law think before?" Huang Shuchang asked curiously.

"Use money to pave the way, donate money to get an official position, and protect our family's property." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said.

"Donate for an official position?" Huang Bochang looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"Selling official positions and titles! They have clearly marked the price, so what's wrong with me buying it?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Let someone recommend you? Why do you do that? Even if you have the ability, there are many people with the ability. Money makes the world go round."

"They recommend people who are all famous and living prodigies." Huang Bochang blinked his dark eyes and looked at them and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard of it." Shen Penglai nodded vigorously when he heard it.

Shen Hui'e sneered and said, "Do we know whether this reputation is worthy of its reputation? We just heard it from others. Maybe it's exaggerated. We don't know." She looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "Fame and fortune are inseparable." After hesitating for a moment, she said, "You can also pay for this reputation and have people praise you!"

"Ah!" Everyone looked at her in amazement.

"Why are you so surprised? This is normal!" Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "So-and-so, the great philanthropist, to put it bluntly, isn't he buying fame with money?"

"You are too much!" Shen Changsheng looked at her in surprise.

"It's useless if no one knows about your abilities." Shen Hui'e shrugged helplessly and looked at them and said, "I have always asked my eldest brother to maintain a good relationship with the county governor."

"County Magistrate?" Huang Zhongchang said sharply, looking at the brother and sister without blinking, "Hedong County."
