Chapter 298: Individual interrogation(1/2)
Murong Heng showed a tyrannical attitude and stated that he would take away all the Zhou family members to investigate the case.
Zhou Dafu couldn't help but shouted angrily.
"Huh, if you want to take us away to investigate the case, you can, but I need to see the Lord of the City first, and you are not qualified to arrest people."
Hearing this, Murong Heng's pupils shrank, but he smiled coldly.
"Master Zhou, if you want to see the Lord of the City, you can, of course, but you have to come with us now.
It won't be long before the city lord will naturally bring you and others to trial in person.
But if you resist to the end, things will not be easy to handle."
Murong Heng glanced at everyone in the Zhou Mansion with a cold look and said in a serious tone.
"Master Zhou, you should know that our Tiannan College is directly dispatched by the imperial capital, and the resources of the college are also part of the imperial treasury.
By stealing the Tianchen Pill, you are tantamount to stealing the treasury property, which is a serious crime.
Now if you dare to refuse arrest, your crime will be increased.
In this way, it is reasonable to kill everyone in your Zhou family."
Having said this, Murong Heng softened his tone again.
But if you are willing to cooperate and cooperate with us to investigate this matter, as long as we find out that you really did not steal the elixir, we will also clear your name.
Master Zhou, you are a smart person, you should know "what is light and what is important", right...?"
Murong Heng looked at Zhou Dafu with a playful expression, and glanced at Zhou Yunmei's frowning eyebrows from the corner of his eye.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a proud sneer.
At this moment, Zhou Dafu's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Naturally, he also noticed that there was something fishy going on today, and there was something "off" everywhere.
However, at this moment, the witnesses and physical evidence were in front of them, and today Murong Heng was troubled by the "guards of the City Lord's Mansion" and the "guards of the Governor's Mansion" coming together.
If he resists the other party, he is defying the laws of the empire and will inevitably lose his excuse.
Even if the Tianchen Pill matter is finally investigated and has nothing to do with the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou Mansion will probably be charged with "violent resistance to the law". According to the laws of the Qianlan Empire, it will at least be punished by exile.
Even though something unusual happened today, Zhou Dafu must also consider the safety of the entire family.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and after struggling for a long time, Zhou Dafu finally said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll go with you alone, don't touch my family!"
Murong Heng curled his lips.
"Master Zhou, this is not up to you. There is no mercy in front of the imperial decree!"
Although he was unwilling and angry, but the situation was stronger than others, Zhou Dafu had no choice but to endure it.
Seeing that Zhou Dafu had already acquiesced, Murong Heng's eyes flashed with pride and he waved to several guards of the Governor's Mansion.
"Master Zhou, I'm offended."
Two guards came forward and placed two pairs of special locks on Zhou Dafu's wrists and ankles respectively.
These are the shackles used by the Governor's Mansion Guards to imprison the more powerful spiritual warriors. The material is extremely hard, and even the peak Chen-level experts cannot break free.
After locking Zhou Dafu, Murong Heng paced up to the opponent, suddenly took out two steel thorns in his hand, and directly penetrated two acupuncture points on Zhou Dafu's back shoulders!
"Pfft...!"
Blood flowed out, and Zhou Dafu let out a muffled groan.
"Big rich...!"
"father……!"
Everyone in the Zhou Mansion exclaimed, and several guards of the Governor's Mansion also looked puzzled.
Murong Heng said unhurriedly that the prisoner was very strong, so it would be better to lock his acupoints to prevent him from using his spiritual power.
Zhou Dafu suppressed his anger and remained silent.
"Take it away."
Murong Heng waved his hand, and the soldiers of the city lord's palace and the guards of the governor's palace began to take action.
The entire Zhou family, from master to servant, was shackled one by one.
When a guard was about to handcuff Zhou Yunmei, Murong Heng stepped forward to stop her.
"There is no need to handcuff her. This woman is the most important suspect for the theft of Tianchen Dan. I will take her back for interrogation alone!"
As soon as Murong Heng said these words, Zhou Yunmei's expression suddenly changed.
Zhou Dafu and Mr. Liu were also shocked.
"Murong Heng, don't act recklessly!"
Zhou Dafu shouted angrily. He knew that Murong Heng had evil intentions towards his daughter at the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion.
Now if the other party were to take Zhou Yunmei away alone, the consequences would be disastrous.
Several guards at the Governor's Mansion were also in a bit of trouble.
"Mr. Murong, this...is not good, okay? Sun Qianhu is already on his way here, how about...should we wait for Master Qianhu to arrive before we make a decision?"
Murong Heng said with a straight face.
"Tianchen Pill belongs to our Tiannan College. Now that the suspect has been caught, the college naturally has the right to interrogate him.
You will take these people and escort them to Bailong County Prison as soon as possible. After I finish interrogating this suspect, I will explain to Sun Qianhu."
Several people looked at each other, hesitant for a moment.
He also knew that Murong Heng was not easy to mess with, not to mention that today, the pill was indeed found in the female wing.
In the end, a few people just nodded and agreed to the matter.
Murong Heng looked at the nervous Zhou Yunmei, sizing up her stunning face and perfect and alluring figure.
There was a touch of heat and excitement in his eyes that could no longer be concealed.
As long as the other party is taken away, shouldn't a weak woman with no cultivation be allowed to be manipulated and ravaged by herself?
When he thought that he would be able to get what he wanted and completely possess Zhou Yunmei in a short while, Murong Heng felt excited in his heart.
Today's plan went surprisingly smoothly.
Not only did he do it openly, but he also took away this stunning beauty.
Incidentally, the brat who ruined his good deeds and made a fool of himself in public was given a "decapitation" label.
Thanks to Wang Xuan's plan, when I feel comfortable today, I can thank him tomorrow.
With this thought in his mind, Murong Heng walked towards Zhou Yunmei.
"Hehe... Miss Zhou, please come with me."
Murong Heng stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Yunmei's arm, but Zhou Yunmei quickly backed away and said warily.
"You... don't come over. I didn't steal the elixir. I want to follow my father and the others. I'm not going anywhere.
Even if you are a student of Tiannan College, you still need to abide by imperial laws, and you have no right to interrogate me."
As soon as these words came out, Murong Heng's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Zhou Yunmei to be so calm and reasonable at this time.
However, those present were ordinary city guards and a few ordinary guards of the Governor's Mansion.
In this situation where everyone gets the stolen goods and the Zhou family is most likely to be in bad luck, no one is willing to offend Murong Heng for a woman from the Zhou family.
For a moment, everyone remained silent, and Murong Heng's smile became more and more proud as he stared at Zhou Yunmei and said.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Zhou. I will ask you carefully later if you have stolen the elixir."
Feeling the silence of the surrounding soldiers and Murong Heng's fearless and fiery eyes, Zhou Yunmei's eyes finally became a little panicked.
"No...I won't go with you, I want to wait for my husband-in-law!"
At this moment, there was only that figure in her mind that could bring her infinite security.
Hearing Zhou Yunmei mention Han Feng, Murong Heng's eyes turned cold and he said a little sinisterly.
"Huh, Miss Zhou, the city guard has sent people to the Han Mansion to pick up people. Your husband is probably already on his way to be escorted into the city.
Don't worry, after I finish interrogating you "carefully", you might be able to see your husband."
Murong Heng pressed forward step by step, while Zhou Yunmei shook her head repeatedly and kept retreating.
"My daughter is not going anywhere, she wants to be with us!"
At this moment, Mr. Liu tried his best to break free from the guard who grabbed him, rushed to Zhou Yunmei, and looked at Murong Heng coldly.
"As a student of Tiannan College, how can you bully others like this!"
When Murong Heng saw this, he sneered.
"Where did you come from, old woman, get out of my way!"
