Speaking of both ends, it is half a day away from Linyuan City - Fen City.

Early in the morning, it began to drizzle continuously in Fencheng, and there were very few pedestrians walking on the street with umbrellas.

And the county government office in the east of the city ushered in three muscular young men in coir raincoats.

"Who are you, do you know where this is?"

An officer guarding the gate yawned impatiently.

Nie Entropy untied a waist card from his waist and threw it to the officer, "I am Nie Entropy from Linyuan City, and I am here to meet the Magistrate of Fencheng County under the order of Lou Zhifu."

The officer took a closer look at the badge in his hand and confirmed that it was Linyuan City's number one arrester, Nie Entropy.

Immediately put on a smiling face, and said flatteringly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my little eyes are clumsy, so I didn't recognize Mr. Nie."

"Master Nie later, the younger one will report to the county magistrate."

Before Nie Entropy came to the county government, he was fully prepared.

If the local magistrate knew the law was breaking the law and deliberately shielded the Rong family, then he could only say sorry.

The evidence in his hands, not to mention the investigation of his small county magistrate, involves a lot and involves many officials.

Just jaw-dropping, unbelievable.

In case there was any change on the way, he had already sent someone overnight to send the most important ledger back to Linyuan City in advance.

Even if the three of them were in deep trouble, or even died in a foreign land, those people on the ledger would never be able to escape.

Not long after, the official trotted back and said out of breath, "Lord Nie, the county magistrate is here to invite you."

Nie Entropy nodded towards him, and walked in with Xiao Song and Lao Zhang in stride.

The place where the county magistrate met them was the backyard of the county government. As soon as Nie Entropy and others entered the door, they saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears sitting on the head seat in the main hall.

With a big belly, it felt like even if he stood up, he couldn't see his feet.

On his oily face, a pair of small mung bean-like eyes were piercing, looking up and down at Nie Entropy and the three of them.

"Which of you is Nie Entropy, the number one arrester in Linyuan City?" He asked, looking business-like.

Nie Entropy didn't care about his attitude towards him, he clasped his fists naturally and said, "Nie Entropy is a humble job."

"Sure enough, you have an extraordinary bearing, like a ruthless character, tell me, why are you looking for this official?" In his eyes, Nie Entropy's first arrest was just a name, and he was not a number one person at all, so he was contemptuous of him. Not a lot.

He took out the official letter from the prefect Lou from his pocket and handed it to the magistrate of Fencheng, "This is an official letter from the prefect Lou. Please cooperate with the county magistrate to arrest the murderer's family."

After reading the official letter, the county magistrate put on a smiling face, and played Tai Chi with him, "Everyone has come from a long distance, the journey is hard, it's better to rest earlier, even if you want to arrest people, don't be in a hurry."

If he had said it in such a pleasant manner according to the past practice, the other party would more or less give him a little favor.

Stay for a while to rest, at least wait until the rain stops before starting to act.

However, Nie Entropy didn’t accept his approach at all, and directly stated, “I am following orders from a humble position, and time is tight, so I won’t bother you any more.”

"I also ask the county magistrate to send some people to the humble officials to complete the arrest task as soon as possible."

heard.

The county magistrate's face immediately became ugly, and he said impatiently: "Everyone in the rainy day has gone home. Tell me where to find someone for you."

"Lord County Magistrate, I advise you to take a good look at the official letter written to you by Lord Magistrate."

"Don't ruin your future because of a mere Rong family." His words were already very polite.

The county magistrate was also a little confused. He didn't read the official letter carefully before, but only saw the magistrate of Linyuan City and asked him to help arrest criminals.

As soon as he saw it was the Rong family, he subconsciously wanted to maintain it, at least to delay some time so that he could send someone to deliver the letter.

Hearing what he said, although he was a little displeased, he picked up the official letter again and read it carefully.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

As he gradually read back, his face turned from blue to white, and bean-sized beads of sweat kept oozing from his greasy and smooth forehead, no matter how much he wiped it with his sleeve, he couldn't wipe it off.

The fat and stubby fingers tremblingly pinched a thin official document, as if it was so heavy that it would break his fingers in the next second.

He licked his parched lips, trembling as he spoke, "Butou Nie, this matter has nothing to do with me. You also know that as a magistrate, you can receive respect from merchants more or less." money."

"Besides the money, I have nothing else to do. You have to prove it for me!"

Nie Entropy finally understood that this fat man was very timid and he cherished his life very much.

Seeing that the Rong family was about to collapse, he quickly expressed his attitude and picked himself clean.

He didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he didn't agree, he just said lightly: "Master County Magistrate, let's get someone with a humble job to arrest people first."

"If they run away under your rule, you must not be able to explain to the higher authorities."

The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again and said: "Yes, yes, that's right, Catcher Nie is right. I'm in a hurry. Let's set off immediately. We will never let any of the Rong family go."

He bounced off the chair like an inflated ball, trotting all the way into the inner hall with two legs as thick as wooden poles.

I don't know what I said to the people behind. After a while, a middle-aged man with a long beard trotted out from inside.

He didn't bother to say hello to Nie Entropy and others, so he ran to find someone despite the wind and rain.

After about a cup of tea, the county magistrate liked the official uniform, and the middle-aged man with a long beard also called all the yamen servants.

The county magistrate stepped forward and shouted, "Listen to my order, you must fully cooperate with this Botou Nie from Linyuan City to arrest people from the Rong family, no matter adults or children, you must not let anyone go."

"As long as there is one person who escapes outside, I will only ask you."

"Yes, magistrate."

"Okay, let's go!"

……

Rong House.

The Shaoguo of the Rong family did not stop making wine because of Master Feng's affairs.

It's just that Master Feng didn't brew it himself, and the brewed champion wine and daughter red are always not so interesting.

It's okay to sell it to ordinary customers who can't taste wine. If you sell it to someone who can taste wine, you can tell the difference just by smelling it.

This angered the fifth master who was the head of the family, but he always protected his shortcomings. Even if he was angry with his descendants, he would not hand over the child who committed a crime to Master Feng who lost two daughters in a row.

The guy who worked on the pot had a lot of resentment about it, and wanted to go together to reason with Master Wu and seek justice for Master Feng.

But they were all stopped by Master Feng, "You can't go, you can't lose your job because of me, there are old and young in your family, if you lose your job, what will you do to support your family?"

"But what the boss has done is too much. Those are two real lives!" Little Six said with red eyes.

"Yes, we can't just watch Xiu Niang and Lian Niang die of injustice!"

"Yes, for Xiuniang, Lianniang to seek justice."

"Let those second generation ancestors pay for their lives!"

The crowd was so angry that Master Feng was moved to tears. He wiped away the tears and tried to hold back the sadness in his heart.

Before he could speak to persuade, he saw two government servants with long knives rushing in.

"The government arrests people, who of you is in charge?" a yamen servant shouted.

A group of guys looked at me and I looked at you, and their eyes finally fell on Master Feng.

He is indeed the steward of the cooking pot, but he has resigned, and the new steward has not yet been selected.

The two yamen servants knew him well, and they spoke politely, "Master Feng, you take all your fellows and go with us."

Master Feng clasped his fists and said, "You two officials, what happened?"

One of the yamen servants said: "Don't ask about this, even we ourselves don't know, anyway, the county magistrate said that everyone in the Rong family must be arrested, not one less."

He didn't say any more, and greeted: "Everyone on the burning pot, come out and gather at the gate."

He still has a lot of prestige in cooking pots in Rong's house, everyone obeyed him, and just shouted like that, all the greasy and sweaty men walked towards the gate one after another, during which no one was talkative, asking questions .

On the other side, following Nie Entropy and three people, they mainly arrested the servants of the Rong family, but it was not so easy.

The Rong family relies on their friendship with the county magistrate, and they think they are big families in the ten miles and eight towns of Fencheng. Even if the knife is stuck around their necks, they should struggle and scold them.

A well-run Rong Mansion compound was filled with howls like slaughtering pigs.

Fifth Master walked out of the main room with four sons and six grandsons.

He cupped his hands at the county magistrate sitting on horseback and said, "Master county magistrate, what do you mean?"

Seeing him appear, a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old who had just been arrested cried loudly: "Uncle, grandpa, save me."

Nie Entropy looked sideways, and that person was one of the criminals who participated in the persecution of Master Feng's daughters.

Fifth Master looked at the young man who was crying miserably, and his face inevitably turned ugly.

The county magistrate, who was eager to draw a clear line with him, would not care about him because of his large number of people, and said with a sneer: "Master Rong is really a nobleman who forgets his things, you and your gang are unworthy descendants, acting as an authority in Fencheng Be blessed for many years."

"I see how tolerant you are when you are old, so you can intensify and allow your unworthy descendants to kill and kill."

"You even conspired with others to try to destroy the whole family. The evidence is conclusive."

"Today, this official will act on behalf of the heavens, arrest and convict all of your litter of rats and grandchildren!"

Fifth Master Qi's old eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched even more.

But after all, he held back and did not attack on the spot.

He sarcastically said maliciously: "Magistrate Hu, don't think that you can scare people with a few nonsense words. It's okay for you to scare children, but it's useless for me to tolerate someone."

"Rong's body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, so why not go with you?"

Immediately, he ordered his descendants not to resist, and let the government servants handcuff and fetter them.

Until now, he didn't think that he would die, and firmly believed that those people above, even if not for their family, would die for Bao Rong's family because of that thing.

Otherwise, there will be no eggs under the whole nest.

No one is sure whether he, who is desperate, will explain everything.

His attitude of contempt for everything was quickly broken by the endless line of prison cars outside the gate.

"Magistrate Hu, why are there still prison cars?"

An ominous premonition spread from the bottom of my heart.

County Magistrate Hu snorted coldly, and said contemptuously, "My county yamen temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."

"The case of your Rong family is not in the charge of this officer. This officer is only assisting in arresting people!" After speaking, he did not explain too much, and then ordered: "Put all the prisoners in the prison van and send them to Linyuan City immediately."

As soon as this remark came out, Fifth Master suddenly realized that it was most likely that something went wrong with Rong Xiaozheng, no wonder he hadn't received his Flying Pigeon letter these days, and his feelings were caught.

It's really a waste of more than enough success.

With confidence in mind, he calmly boarded the prison car.

There is no real start to the left and right things, and it is impossible to make him pay the price.

More than 100 prison vehicles drove out of the city in a mighty manner, attracting countless people to wait and see in the rain.

Among them were Li Shan and the others who drank with Nie Entropy two days ago.

"Brother Li, do you think that person looks like Brother Nie?"

"And that one seems to be Xiao Song."

"Oh my god, there's still Lao Zhang!"

"You're talking about the Rong family..."

"I'll tell you kid, we don't know anything, we don't know anyone, let alone the old and the young!"

"Yes, yes, we don't know each other. Brother Yu is a few, and the younger brother will leave first."

"I'm leaving too, there's still something to do on the pot at home."

During the conversation, several people left one after another, not wanting to get offended.

……

The fact that Fencheng arrested more than a hundred Rong family members and escorted them to Linyuan City quickly spread to the surrounding ten miles and eight townships and nearby cities as if they had grown wings.

After listening to the servant's report, the elders of the six tribes stood alone in front of the window for a long time without saying a word.

A long time ago, he had persuaded Fifth Master to stop and not to provoke those two from Linyuan City.

But he was deceived by the lard, relying on someone behind him, and insisted on going his own way without listening to advice.

This is good, Fifth Master's branch was arrested and sent to Linyuan City for trial.

In Linyuan City, there is King Linyuan sitting in command, even if the people behind him have all-hands and eyes, they would not dare to provoke a prince with real power.

Their end is almost predictable, and they are destined to become abandoned children in the game of some people.

I just hope that those two people don't do too much and leave a trace of incense for Fifth Master's lineage.

It's just that he didn't think about it, is Lu Qing the kind of soft-hearted person?

It doesn't matter how others treat her, as long as there is anything related to her family's little Sisi, don't even think about leaving the whole body.

Ge Tian back then was the best proof, but the elders of the six clans didn't know about it.

Otherwise, he would risk his life and not let fifth master do such stupid things.

It's just too late to say anything now.

……

On the day the Rong family was escorted to Linyuan City, the sky was cloudy, the wind was howling, and it would rain cats and dogs at some point.

This kind of weather has lasted for three days without any improvement.

At first, the people thought it would rain, so they returned home early.

But looking at the second day, it was still the same on the third day, and there was no sign of rain.

Life has to go on, so I go out against the strong wind and run around for a day's livelihood.

Until teams of well-trained iron cavalry escorted prison cars of varying numbers.

Entering the city from the four gates, they gradually gathered at the magistrate's yamen, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down.

A corruption and bribery case that shocked the government and the public in just a few days was proceeded in an orderly manner under the presiding trial of King Linyuan and the jury of Lou Zhifu.

There are as many as 17 officials involved in the matter alone.

The breadth of coverage is only seen in the founding of the country.

Otherwise, the current emperor would not personally order Qi Jingxuan to investigate this matter.

On the other hand, Wu Ye, who had been arrested a long time ago, sat on the hay in a daze as if struck by lightning after hearing the news.

Watching his backer being sent to the prison, facing those venomous eyes, he felt powerless.

He knew that no matter how he explained it, the other party would not believe it.

The hope of leading the people to live has also become slim, and everything is moving in an unpredictable direction.

……

Due to the continuous heavy rain, there was not even a pedestrian on the street, and the medical clinic was simply closed.

Rong Jinsi endured it for several days, and finally made up her mind. She sat next to Lu Qing and asked, "Husband, what is going on with the Rong family in Fencheng?"

heard.

Lu Qing closed the book, sat up straight and said, "Just like the government said, bribe the court officials and write the roster privately."

"Didn't you hide anything else from me?" Still in disbelief, she looked at her without blinking.

There is no way, knowing that this matter will not be hidden for long, as long as the corruption case over there is over, the Rong family will definitely be tried for other crimes.

Lu Qing sighed, and said helplessly: "I know there are some things I can't hide from you, and I have to talk about these things from a few days ago..."

She briefly narrated the incident of the drug boy hurting someone at the market before, but it turned out that the other party was the Rong family.

He directly skipped the process of handing over the evidence to the prefect Lou, and just made up a reason to prevaricate.

He also said that the drug boy was sent by the fifth master to murder their couple and so on.

Lu Qing felt that if he continued to make up like this, his brain cells would die.

Directly dump the blame on Lou Zhifu, "Lou Zhifu didn't believe Rong Xiaozheng's one-sided words at first, so he sent Nie Entropy to take people to Fencheng for an open and unannounced visit."

"Who would have imagined to find out the numerous crimes committed by the Rong family in Fencheng in the past ten years, and with the help of the relatives of the victims, they got the roster, and then discovered this embarrassing corruption and bribery case that shocked the government and the public."

"No wonder Fifth Master was so arrogant at the clan assembly back then, daring to shout at you in the ancestral hall."

What she said was so logical that Rong Jinsi couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found many loopholes, and he couldn't help asking: "Even if Rong Xiao is from the Rong family in Fencheng, how did Lou Zhifu find out that he came to Yuancheng to harm us?"

"And I've also met Rong Xiaozheng, he is thin and small, how could he be your opponent?"

"No, he must have accomplices!"

"He has been following..."

Having said that, she covered her mouth in shock, for fear that she would not be able to control her screams.

Lu Qing felt powerless. It is really not a happy thing to have a wife with a good brain.

Even if he wanted to lie, he was slapped in the face every minute and analyzed.

Some people with toothache rested their chin on one hand, rolled their eyes weakly and said: "Si Si, you are making too much fuss."

"It's true that Rong Xiaozheng has been following Bo Junran all along, and they were indeed accomplices at first, but Bo Junran's conscience has not yet faded, and he has been hesitant to do anything."

"He also has other secrets in helping the Rong family in Fencheng. His younger sister was arrested and wanted to be refined into a living medicine man. Only 5 taels of silver can be exchanged for his younger sister."

Speaking of which, Bo Junran is really silly and cute, you said he also got the money.

He didn't go to save his sister first, but was entangled in whether to harm others, whether to use the money.

Rong Jinsi was speechless for a while, and then terrified for a while, if her husband hadn't learned about the plot of the Rong family in Fencheng in advance, or Bo Junran's heart was a bit more vicious, the consequences would have been disastrous.

She didn't ask about other things, she couldn't control those things if she wanted to, and she couldn't help if she wanted to.

She wasn't kind enough to smile away her grudges, after all, everyone stabbed her like a knife, so she didn't have any family affection to care about.

"Hey, as long as the people of the Rong family in Fencheng don't stalk and bite at will."

Rong Jinsi's worries were not unreasonable, both the Rong family in Liucheng and the Rong family in Fencheng were branches of the Rong family in Linyuan City.

To put it bluntly, they are all relatives of the clan, and they are more or less involved.

"You don't need to worry about this, no one can shake Linyuan Chengrong Mansion, let alone hurt you."

Lu Qing had a serious face, and his words were resonant.

"Husband..." She was so moved that she wrapped her hands around Lu Qing's slender waist, buried her face in the crevice of her neck, and said emotionally: "How can Si Si be able to be regarded as a treasure by her husband, and to be loved very much. "

"Little fool, who made you Rong Jinsi, the unique woman in my heart!"

Gently hugging her thin body, sniffing the delicious fragrance in her hair.

Lu Qing felt an inexplicable peace of mind, as if hugging her was like owning the whole world.

……

Linyuan City, the magistrate's prison.

In the dark and damp prison full of snakes, worms, rats and ants, the members of the Rong family in Fencheng were taken out one by one by the jailers for interrogation.

Rather than saying it is an interrogation, it is more appropriate to say that it is torture.

In fact, the jailers have done this kind of thing a lot, and they want to really ask something.

Asking about the culprit can only be a waste of energy, and people will not explain a word.

Then he can only start with his closest people, fifth master has four sons.

Not long after the eldest son was taken away, there were screams of pain in the torture room.

The steel whip with tiny barbs was whipped on the eldest son's body, and each whip would scrape off a lot of flesh from his body.

After more than a dozen lashes, the clothes on the back of Fifth Master's eldest son were stained red with blood, and strands of broken steps were messily stuck to the wound.

It hurts his body and hurts his heart.

Fifth Master clenched his fists desperately, and gritted his steel teeth with a "cracking" sound.

His eldest son, the future helm of the Rong family, is being raped and beaten.

What a disgrace!

There was even a moment when he wanted to tell the truth so that the eldest son would suffer less.

But he is not imprisoned here alone, he also has to consider the safety of the rest of his heirs.

Fifth Master could only close his eyes in pain, and sat on the hay without saying a word.

After about a stick of incense, the eldest son was finally carried back.

That's right, just lift.

His eldest son had been beaten so badly that he passed out from the pain.

Just when he thought it would be over, a group of jailers threw Wu Ye's eldest son back into the cell like a dead dog.

He turned around and went to grab the second son of the fifth master who was in the same cell, "Father, save the boy, I don't want to die so early, my son is wronged." Iron fence, crying with snot and tears.
