Chapter 467 Fatty Qian, You Deserve to Die
Chapter 467 Fatty Qian, You Deserve to Die
Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian were not spared and were locked up together.
Ji Zhonglian was stabbed twice. Although the wounds were not fatal, he felt weak and his anger was relieved.
He did not resist and let the constable lock him up.
Three corpses and seven or eight injured men were also carried away.
All of them were thrown into prison.
Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian were held separately, not in cells with log fences, but in closed prisons with large stones on all sides.
At the same time, Lin Feng's 500 guards were divided into two teams.
Following the constables from the government office, they quickly rushed into Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian's homes and conducted searches.
The two huge houses were surrounded by thousands of Qingshui soldiers.
This news soon reached Wang Yusheng.
He was always steady, but his hand holding the teacup began to tremble.
The water in the teacup creates ripples.
Isn’t Lin Feng afraid of his disciples and former officials who are spread all over the world?
Not only did he have connections in the Dazong Dynasty, but he also had direct followers under King Fu.
Does Lin Feng really dare to go against the world's will?
Wang Yusheng suddenly felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain himself clearly.
The money was given and the other party accepted it, so why did it suddenly become like this?
Wang Yusheng considered himself very wise, but he was also confused for a while.
Lin Feng was also gambling. He bet that these three great families must have a connection with the Black Scarf.
It's even related to King Fu.
Otherwise, if the Black Turban Army entered the provincial capital, how could these three great families keep their property?
Given the Black Scarf Army's behavior, how could they allow three wealthy families to live in peace and comfort?
If there is no reasonable excuse, we cannot force them to accept it. We can only make a trap to make them feel resentful of each other and use it to expose each other's shortcomings.
Among these three family heads, Wang Yusheng is the most difficult to deal with, so let him go for now.
Ji Zhonglian, a mere warrior, could not stand these situations.
The breakthrough lies in this person.
Li Hu was already standing in the middle of the cell, staring coldly at Ji Chonglian, who was sitting on the ground with a thick wooden yoke around his neck.
Ji Zhonglian glanced at Li Hu with disdain.
"Tsk tsk... You've been sold out, and you're still trying to kill me like this. What a shame for a good man."
Li Hu shook his head and sighed.
Ji Zhonglian curled his lips and said, "Your grandfather was brought up by fear. I never steal or rob. Let's see what you can do to me."
"Forget it. I respect you as a man, so I came here to say hello. Alas, if you collude with the Black Turban Army, you will probably be confiscated and your family will be exterminated."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out groaning.
He muttered as he walked, "I was thinking of giving you a chance to save your life, but who would have thought that Lao Qian is much smarter than a reckless man like you..."
He walked to the door and gave instructions to the constable on guard.
"Get him something nice to eat and a bottle of wine. It won't be long."
The constable bowed and said yes.
Li Hu didn't look back, stepped over the threshold and was about to leave.
Ji Zhonglian heard what he said, with his mouth open and a look of confusion on his face.
It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that he colluded with the Black Turban Army. He just took advantage of Wang Yusheng's influence and, with the help of Old Wang, sent money and property to the Black Turban Army, thus preserving his family property in the provincial capital.
If this can be considered collusion, then Wang Yusheng and Qian Duogui are in more serious trouble than himself.
Besides, the three family heads have already reached an agreement on this matter.
You can't tell anyone even if you die.
What's going on? Is that fat guy giving in just to protect himself?
Li Hu kept walking, but he was nervous.
I don’t know if this trick of mine can pry open Ji Zhonglian’s mouth.
As his back got farther and farther away from the cell, my mood also became depressed.
It seems that Ji Chonglian still has some brains and can handle pressure well.
Li Hu was thinking about what method he should use to trick this reckless man again.
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from inside the cell.
"Fatty Qian, you deserve to die!"
Li Hu paused and a smile appeared on his face.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The boss is really accurate in his predictions. He is truly a god.
With Ji Zhonglian's collapse, the next things became much simpler.
Li Hu obtained a confession from Ji Zhonglian and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Ji Zhonglian's dejected face, he couldn't help but sneer.
"I'm not trying to scare you. Even though you've taken the initiative to confess your crime, Qian Duogui was there before you, so I'm afraid the guilt won't be reduced much."
Ji Zhonglian had already told everyone how he bribed the leader of the Black Turban Army, and he felt insecure.
His tone became much softer.
"Inspector Li, I only bribed to save my life. How can that be considered collusion with the Black Turban Army?"
"Alas, this matter still needs to be reported to General Lin. Let's see how he handles it. But don't worry, I will say everything that needs to be said."
"Thank you, Inspector Li. Your kindness will surely be rewarded."
Li Hu waved his hand and said, "Just wait and relax. I'll go report to General Lin."
Ji Zhonglian said with gratitude: "Inspector Li, the lives of my family are in your hands. If you need anything, just tell me, I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Hu had already stood up and walked out of the prison door.
I watched the heavy wooden door of the cell slam shut with a bang.
Ji Zhonglian's heart also skipped a beat. What happened to him?
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Did he let it go too easily?
Compared with Ji Zhonglian, Qian Duogui's resistance seemed ridiculous.
When he saw Ji Zhonglian's confession, he immediately lost his desire to resist, and a look of dejection appeared on his fat face.
Soon, both confessions were placed on Lin Feng's desk.
Both of them confessed in detail how Wang Yusheng, the head of the Wang family, got in touch with the leader of the Black Turban Army and accepted a large amount of money and property.
When the Black Turban Army controlled the city, any wealthy family who paid enough money would be protected.
Later, when the Black Turban Army began to harm these wealthy families, they spared these three families because someone from the Wang family was under Prince Fu's command and had given a heads-up.
With these two confessions, all high-ranking officials would not and dared not admit to having any relationship with Wang Hua.
In the Wang family mansion, Wang Yusheng received the report from the servant in a state of trepidation.
There were a large number of soldiers outside the door, and they had surrounded the entire house.
After Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian were arrested, Wang Yusheng had a premonition.
Things might get bad, so pack up the valuables at home early and gather all the servants.
Nearly five hundred servants, armed with weapons and bows and arrows, stood on the tall walls of the Wang family's house to resist the attack of the Qingshui soldiers.
Zhao Shuo led a team of soldiers and shouted loudly in front of the Wang family's gate.
"The head of the Wang family, Wang Yusheng, has secretly colluded with the Black Turban Army, brutally murdered the people of the prefectural city, and defied the imperial court. This constitutes the serious crime of treason. After a thorough investigation by the Prefectural City Inspection Office, the evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear. We advise you to give up resistance, plead guilty, and submit to the law. If you persist, you will bear the consequences."
He shouted three times and then waited a moment.
Then someone in the Wang family compound responded loudly.
