"Reported to the Lord, the family members of the traitor have all been obtained and sent to Wu Liang and Xu Xiuqing for interrogation." Huang Bao, director of the Security Department, reported to Li Xiao with a serious expression.

He then lowered his voice and said, "Sir, when we went to capture Fang, the wife of the Lord Jiang Zun, she had already hanged herself in the room. In addition, the mother of Chen Xing, who was accomplice Chen Xing, was young. After we broke into the door, he was so scared that he blew on the spot..."

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, and a look of unbearableness appeared on his face.

Since he came to this world, he has been completely adapted to bloody fighting and other things. However, even if it is completely necessary to suppress the weak, he feels extremely unbearable.

Seeing Li Xiao’s face moving, Huang Bao, who used to be a Jinyiwei, was shocked.

This Lord Li is a little too kind.

Huang Bao believed that the accidental death of these rebel generals was too cheap for them. You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, plotting rebellion is a serious crime. Even if the nine clans are not killed, it is normal to cut them alive in the street. If the Jinyiwei handled the measures, they would not die so easily.

Li Xiao waved his hand and signaled that Huang Bao would not have to continue talking.

Then, he and Huang Bao came to Wu Liang and Xu Xiuqing's interrogation room.

This interrogation room was temporarily served by a thatched house in a civil affairs hall. Although it was simple, the area was still spacious.

At this time, the interrogation had just ended, and Wu Liang and Xu Xiuqing were discussing how to write a manuscript and report the crimes of these people to Li Xiao.

When Li Xiao entered the room, the first thing that came to his eyes was Fan Zhi and the family members of the rebel generals who were kneeling on the ground. These people all bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.

Li Xiao quickly noticed that there was a chair next to these families, with a small swaddle on it.

Li Xiao suddenly felt like a knife cut in his heart.

He knew that this child in the cradle was Baoer, the child who rebelled against Jiang Zun, who was only half a year old now.

I thought that at noon, I gave the child's father New Year's money, but now the child's parents are separated from his yin and yang.

Wu Liang and Xu Xiuqing also saw Li Xiao entering the house and quickly got up to salute. Li Xiao walked towards them while signaling them to sit down.

When he walked past the rebel general Fan Zhi, who was hanging his head, Huang Bao spat fiercely on his head.

"Sir, according to the interrogation, although these families are denied on the surface, they look at their words and deeds and make up their words. They know that most of them are informed, but because of their own family members, they conceal and do not report them. There are many accomplices of sheltering." Wu Liang whispered to Li Xiao to report.

Li Xiao sighed again in his heart.

Such a result was actually within his expectations.

Chinese society is a society of human relationships and blood. If your family members do bad things, their families will often cover up their worries. This is human nature. If the bad things done by their family members can bring actual benefits to the family, then these families will not only not feel guilty, but will also be complacent that they can get a piece of the pie.

This is also why, in ancient Chinese society, every dynasty had to formulate a cruel and fierce system of incompetence. The rulers hoped that such a cruel and inhumane legal system could be used to make those who betray the cost of betrayal so that their butts could easily itch.

"Wu Liang, according to your opinion, what should I do?" Li Xiao pondered for a moment and asked Wu Liang again.

Wu Liang looked at Li Xiao with complicated eyes, and then whispered: "The traitor Fan Zhi betrayed the Lord of Benevolence, plotted against the rebellion and killed the superiors. According to the Ming Dynasty law, most of these people committed the crime of rebellion. Knowing that these rebels were intentional to rebel, they did not repay them. Their intentions were ulterior motives. In the opinion of students, they had to be executed according to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty law. The students believed that only by dealing with this way could they shock the little ones and dare not be willing to be rebellious."

"Sir, students also think so." Xu Xiuqing interrupted.

Li Xiao pondered silently.

In the room, there was a depressing silence.

Suddenly, a loud baby cried, which struck the silent state.

Li Xiao turned his head and looked at the swaddle cloth placed on the chair, shaking slightly, the treasure trotter crying constantly, a small and thin hand was exploring the swaddle cloth, trying to catch something in the air.

"Hmph, this traitor is a villain. I think it's okay to fall to death on the spot, so as not to grow up in the future, which is also a disaster." Huang Bao snorted coldly from the side.

Li Xiao ignored him, but walked over and hugged the child in his arms.

Someone picked up the child and cried much less. Li Xiao, who had a gloomy face, brushed his fingers against the child's thin face. When his fingertips brushed the child's mouth, the child thought he had touched his nipples. He grabbed it with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth and sucked it so hard that he sucked it.

Li Xiao stood like a puppet. He held the child like this without moving, allowing him to suck his fingers.

Li Xiao, who was in this quiet room, felt the heat emitted from this small body and the different eyes that everyone threw, and suddenly felt like a different world.

"The order of the rebel general Fan Zhi was transferred from being cut off and beheaded, and it was executed immediately. The rest of the family members, who had obvious evidence, shall be executed according to the law. Those who had unknown evidence shall be punished for hard labor in the quarry or lime factory, with a ten-year sentence. In addition, all children under the age of 7 will not be punished for their crimes and will be raised by others."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, some of the family members below fainted on the spot, while others had obvious relaxed expressions on their faces, but they began to cry softly again.

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the one who was most excited was Fan Zhi.

He tied it like a rice dumpling, tears streaming across his knees, and then knocked his head pounding: "I am grateful to the Lord who has left his bloodline in the lower body, and let the sword be able to be quickly. If there is a next life, it will be used as a cow and horse to repay him."

Li Xiao didn't look at him. He was stunned for a while and said nothing. Then he handed Bao'er over to Wu Liang, reminding him to find a good family for the child, and then turned around and left the room.

At dusk, Fan Zhi and four family members were executed according to law, and all the soldiers and civilians in the fort watched silently.

The other five family members were moved out of the fort. The man arranged to go to the quarry, and the woman arranged to go to the lime factory, and began their ten-year hard labor life.

Jiang Zun's child Baoer was adopted by a childless carpenter couple under Chang Dali. At the same time, the couple also received twenty taels of silver.

Wu Liang told them that the money was given to Li Qianhu as the future support expenses for the child, but asked them not to tell anyone about it.

The carpenter couple, who are honest and honest, have expressions of surprise and emotion on their faces. They carefully held the child in their hands and nodded repeatedly to agree.

The other three children, including the daughter of the deceased general Fan Zhi, were adopted by craftsmen and their families in the fort.

The setting sun was like blood, and the dusk was dim. Li Xiao sat alone in his room, silently staring out the window.

Sitting silently, he suddenly felt inexplicable loneliness and indescribable fatigue.

I came to this world in the late Ming Dynasty, without name and power, and had difficulty in survival. I didn’t encounter any protagonist’s aura, invincible golden fingers, etc. However, in the past six months, I have experienced too many swords, bloody battles, intrigues, plots and exploits, betrayal and assassination. Although I still make a strong attitude on the surface, I just know what loneliness and loneliness are in my heart, which seems strong and fearless.

But I don't have any room to retreat.

This cruel world in the late Ming Dynasty was not about people who wanted me, but I needed to do it. I didn't want to kill me, but I would be fish. Any hesitation and cowardice would be crushed by the cold reality.

Can you have other choices besides striving forward and gritting your teeth?

Li Xiao sighed in his heart. He closed his eyes gently and was about to lean on the chair to rest, but he found that a pair of light and tender hands were put on his shoulders, which were gently kneading him.

Li Xiao was shocked and quickly turned around and looked back. Seeing Zu Wan'er smiling faintly at herself, her hands that were constantly pressing did not pause at all.

Li Xiao sighed, said nothing, turned around again, closed his eyes, and quietly enjoyed her extremely suitable comfortable massage.

"Li Xiao, you did it right."

Zu Wan'er whispered from behind.

"Oh, is that?"

"Well, this world is so difficult and cruel. There is really no need to make it more cruel and inhumane. Li Xiao, you can handle it so kindly, I really admire you."

Zu Wan'er's words are gentle, but there is an inexplicable power of stability.

Li Xiao smiled softly, without answering her, but his heart felt bitter.

Is my approach really right?

In later generations, this crime only involved the system of offenders. In the Ming Dynasty, an era when the family was often implicated, it might only make more people feel that this is the kindness of women.

However, for generals, they can only rely on killing to keep their subordinates loyal, which is too low-level.

Maybe, all I can do is let change start with myself.

Li Xiao turned around and gave her a warm smile. "Thank you for your support."

Zu Wan'er smiled, with two charming dimples on her face. Li Xiao breathed the fragrant breath on her body, and the negative emotions in her heart unconsciously dissolved a lot.

The two were talking intimately, and suddenly there was another knock on the door outside.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The guy who knocked on the door at this time was really a shame.

"who?"

"Mr. Guan Yi, please see the Lord Qianhu." Guan Yi shouted outside the door with his duck voice.
