Ye Liuyun led Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, and He Lifang, as well as more than ten government officials, to come here.
The place is in a mess, with all kinds of garbage on the ground, and there are blood stains in some places.
Obviously, there has just been a chaotic storm here.
Ye Liuyun took a deep breath.
"Look, I knew it would be like this." Hou Ziyu, who was smart and shrewd at the side, sneered.
If these four major aristocratic families want to make a fortune, they have to see if the people agree. Regarding this matter, Hou Ziyu is actually happy to see it succeed.
"Ye Tou, let's not worry about it. These people are forced to do nothing. Let's just pretend that nothing happened. It's not that easy to find someone."
Hou Ziyu said with a evil smile.
Ye Liuyun nodded after hearing this.
In fact, it's not that they want to catch the people looting, but that they simply can't.
There are so many people, just like a ladle of water, poured directly into the sea, how can they be found easily?
Isn’t this looking for a needle in a haystack?
Things have happened. The only ones who suffered losses this time were the four major families. They lost some money and food, but not much.
After all, this is just a store, not a warehouse. If the warehouse is taken over by someone, it will be a huge loss.
Ye Liuyun didn't have time to catch the people who were looting. Why did they do this? Don't the four major families have any idea?
The most significant loss this time was caused by the county Zun Dai Lingxiu.
Under his rule, something like this happened, and it can be said that his resume was stained with a black mark, and his subsequent promotion may not be that easy.
However, these things have nothing to do with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun is thinking about how to earn back 20 million reputation.
"Call the bosses and shop assistants of this commercial street over here, arrange a group of people to clean up the place, and arrange two more people to guard the end of the street to prevent the unruly people from coming back."
Ye Liuyun ordered.
"Yes." Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, and He Lifang all took the order, and then each took several government officials to act according to Ye Liuyun's instructions.
Obviously, this robbery incident will basically go to nothing.
…
County government.
Back hall.
The county magistrate Dai Lingxiu sat on the main seat.
At this time, four people came in one after another, each of them was wearing gold waist, purple clothes, elegant appearance, and looked like they were from a wealthy family, either rich or noble.
"Your Majesty, if something like this happened in Qingyang County, why don't you arrest those unruly people quickly? What are you going to do with us?"
The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with a mustache. His name was Huo Quanlue, and he was the head of the Huo family, one of the four most aristocratic families in Qingyang County.
"Yes, we have suffered heavy losses this time..." Someone agreed. He was a fat man named Chu Manyun. His face was red, but his eyes were a little fierce.
"Your Excellency, you must uphold justice for us this time." Another man, King Wei Lai, complained to Dai Lingxiu.
"The sky is clear and the sun is bright. It's unbelievable that something like this happened." Linghu Fengyang said.
The heads of the four major aristocratic families in Qingyang County were all present. They complained to the county lord Dai Lingxiu for a while, as if they had suffered great grievances.
"Enough!"
Dai Lingxiu scolded angrily.
"You bastards, you know why there was trouble this time!"
"You can't say that..."
Huo Quanlue remained calm and said: "Your Majesty, that's not what you said when you took the money."
"Yes, Lord County Lord, you can't really get 10% of the share without doing anything, right?" Chu Manyun said with a smile: "To deal with this kind of emergency situation now, that's why you can get the money.
The reason."
"You bastards..."
Dai Lingxiu was furious.
Is this the money he wants to take?
Regardless of whether he agrees with it or not, these four major aristocratic families are prepared to do this. In this case, the money will not be free of charge.
But now, if something like this happens, Dai Lingxiu's career may be affected.
Had he known this, Dai Lingxiu would never have agreed to such a thing.
However, it is too late to regret now.
"The matter has come to this, there is no use in talking more." Dai Lingxiu calmed down his temper, "You have made enough money this time, so stop it."
"That won't work."
Huo Quan shook his head slightly and said: "I originally made a little money this time, but after being messed up by those unscrupulous people, I lost the money again, so I have to extend it for a while."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Manyun nodded and said: "That's right, and after being robbed by unscrupulous people, supplies have become even more scarce. The remaining goods should be increased a little more!"
"You are crazy!"
Dai Lingxiu looked at these people in disbelief.
It’s already so urgent, these guys are still planning to continue to raise prices?!
OMG!
Dai Lingxiu has never seen such an unscrupulous person!
"rest assured."
At this time, King Wei Lai of the Wei family said: "When necessary, I will ask the martial arts masters and disciples from my martial arts school to come out to maintain order."
Huo Quan briefly touched his mustache and said calmly: "And we already have a comprehensive plan for how this matter will end."
As soon as these words came out.
Dai Lingxiu wrinkled his nose and was about to get angry.
At this time, Linghu Fengyang said with a smile: "Originally, the position of the Palace Master of Qingyang Mansion this time belongs to you. Do you know why you were cut out of the queue?"
"Why?"
Dai Lingxiu's attention was directly diverted.
Linghu Fengyang laughed loudly and said: "The current Qingyang Palace Master sent his first wife to Zhizhou's bed. Do you think you should be jumped in line?"
Dai Lingxiu's face turned cold instantly.
"Asshole, both of them are bastards..."
Dai Lingxiu gritted his teeth.
However, it doesn't make any sense, he doesn't have that much courage, and besides, his first wife is a little less beautiful.
Linghu Fengyang said calmly: "So, Lord County Lord, you should seize this opportunity and make more money. Although you can't be directly promoted to Qingyang Mansion, it is close to the state capital. How much a prince will cost.
The price is clearly marked, it depends on how much wealth you have."
Dai Lingxiu fell silent.
If you want to be promoted, you must either provide money or recruit people.
Don't even think about raising someone else, so you can only provide money. The problem is, he doesn't have any money either.
I have to say that these four aristocratic families are really good at judging people, and Dai Lingxiu is short of money.
"What happened to the ending you mentioned?" Dai Lingxiu asked in a deep voice.
He won't take any chances!
If there is no sure way, he still chooses to seek stability!
"Don't worry, we have arranged this matter seamlessly. All we need is the cooperation of the county magistrate."
With that said, Huo Quanlue told them all their plans.
"The thing is like this..."
After listening to Huo Quanlue's words, Dai Lingxiu's expression softened slightly. It was obvious that this plan was indeed more appropriate.
"In this case, I will trust you again."
…
Qingyang County, West District.
This is a slum in Qingyang County, where many people live.
Most of the people living here are not wealthy, so they are the most likely group to participate in looting.
Ye Liuyun originally didn't want to come.
However, the county magistrate Dai Lingxiu personally led the team, so Ye Liuyun had no choice but to follow.
Of course, Ye Liuyun is not worried, because there is no evidence at all, and no one can determine whether these people are criminals or innocent.
In the end, it should have ended hastily.
However, Ye Liuyun was also a little confused as to whether Dai Lingxiu would do such an apparently futile thing.
I saw Dai Lingxiu ordering Ye Liuyun: "Liuyun, surround the entire Western District for me."
Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, what happens after we are surrounded?"
"Arrest people."
Dai Lingxiu spoke sternly, saying: "Robbing other people's property in broad daylight is an unforgivable crime and everyone should be punished!"
Ye Liuyun said speechlessly: "But I don't know who took action to rob it. Sir, the right way is... the law does not blame everyone!"
Dai Lingxiu said calmly: "It is true that the law does not punish the public, but I have received news that someone took the lead in this robbery, so I wanted to find out the culprit!"
"this……"
Ye Liuyun was a little surprised.
The county minister Dai Lingxiu has been in court. Where did he get the news?
Isn't this what he, the head catcher, should do?
Ye Liuyun thought for a while and decided to do as he was told. Only the first culprit would be killed. That was still acceptable.
"Someone, please surround this western area."
Ye Liuyun ordered.
At this time, Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, He Lifang and others all took action.
With many government officials, the West District was soon completely surrounded.
The next step is to check the people in this place one by one and find out the culprit.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
"Otherwise I will go on a killing spree!"
Only a rude voice was heard.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn, and it turned out that the culprit really existed.
However, at this moment, he was threatening Ye Liuyun and others with the lives of the people in the slums of the West District to give up the search.
"County Lord, look..."
In Ye Liuyun's view, today's arrest operation was considered a failure.
Otherwise, once an arrest is made in this densely populated slum and the prisoner becomes violent, how many people will die?
"Leave him alone and continue the search." County Lord Dai Lingxiu said expressionlessly.
As soon as these words came out.
Ye Liuyun frowned and said: "Sir, maybe we can think of other ways. This prisoner is probably a cultivator. If he takes action, the casualties may exceed 100."
"If it's over a hundred, it's over a hundred. Such a murderer cannot be let go. The casualties of over a hundred now are to save the future from the murder of over a thousand or ten thousand casualties by this murderer."
"The necessary price is bearable." County Zun Dai Lingxiu spoke sternly.
Ye Liuyun: "..."
"Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry. We can retreat first and send people to monitor him. This prisoner will definitely not be able to stay for a long time. When he leaves, we will wait for an opportunity to take action."
Ye Liuyun suggested.
"How long do we have to wait?" Dai Lingxiu frowned.
Ye Liuyun was about to speak.
Dai Lingxiu immediately said: "Let's arrest him immediately."
Ye Liuyun frowned and said, "Sir, these are hundreds of lives. They could have survived."
Dai Lingxiu said calmly: "It can be saved, but the cost is too high, so it's not necessary."
"What if your family members are also among them?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Dai Lingxiu said calmly: "Why do my family members end up in this filthy place?"
Ye Liuyun's face changed slightly, "Sir, you know that's not what I meant. Also, is this what you, a parent official, should say? Under your rule, they live in a place like this, wouldn't you blush?"
Dai Lingxiu's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
But he quickly restrained himself. You know, Ye Liuyun is a practitioner who is accomplished in bone forging.
Dai Lingxiu took a deep breath and said: "Liu Yun, maybe you are not feeling well these days and are a little angry. You can just watch from the sidelines for today's task."
The voice fell.
Dai Lingxiu shouted: "Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, He Lifang, do it!"
Qi Shaotang and others were actually somewhat reluctant.
However, they hold the county government's jobs. Once they openly disobey Dai Lingxiu, they will not only have no food to eat, but may also be unable to survive in Qingyang County.
"yes!"
Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, and He Lifang carried out the arrest operation!
Ye Liuyun looked at this scene with some helplessness.
He reminded himself in his mind that this was just a simulation, just a simulation.
…
Soon, the prisoner who took the lead in the robbery was escorted over.
This guy still had some conscience and did not go on a killing spree, but chose to surrender directly.
Qi Shaotang and Hou Ziyu escorted the prisoner over.
This man is a cultivator, with a cultivation level in the Qi and Blood realm. If he kills people violently, he can kill dozens of people in a dozen breaths.
"You see, Liu Yun, the matter is not as serious as you think."
Dai Lingxiu said kindly: "Didn't we cooperate very well before? I am responsible for giving orders and you are responsible for charging into battle. We are good partners."
"After a while, I will be promoted to Palace Lord, and I will still need Liuyun's assistance."
Ye Liuyun had no expression on his face after hearing this.
He is not the head hunter Ye Liuyun, he is the leader of the "Tian Yuan Alliance" Ye Liuyun!
"Okay, take the prisoner away." Dai Lingxiu said calmly.
Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, He Lifang and others escorted the prisoner back to the county government office.
County government lobby.
Dai Lingxiu sat on a high position and was stunned.
"Who is in the hall!"
The prisoner confessed honestly, saying: "Wang Zisheng, a common man, is a hunter. Recently, the price of rice shops has increased, so he can't afford to buy food. He couldn't think about it, so he encouraged others to rob him. The common man knows his crime and is willing to accept the punishment."
Ye Liuyun, Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, He Lifang and others stood aside.
The clever and shrewd Hou Ziyu shook his head and said: "What a pity for a good man. I'm afraid he will inevitably be imprisoned for ten years."
Qi Shaotang said calmly: "If you are willing to help him compensate, you can be jailed for three years."
"Don't be kidding," Hou Ziyu said speechlessly: "That's a street's worth of goods. Even if you sell it to me, you can't even pay it back."
In fact, Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, He Lifang and others were very pleased that Wang Zisheng did not attack innocent people and admired him as a good man.
What happened this time was originally done improperly by the four major families.
At this time, the county official Dai Lingxiu shouted: "You are still not honest!"
"After launching the looting that day, an hour later, you ransacked the warehouses of the four major families and the county government's grain depot, right?!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was shocked!
This matter is much more serious than looting a street's belongings.
Wang Zisheng shook his head quickly and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. We just made a spur-of-the-moment idea and left after robbing. How could we possibly rob the warehouse?"
"Besides, the warehouse is heavily guarded by soldiers, all of whom are martial arts masters, including those in the Bone Forging Realm. How could we possibly rob it?"
Dai Lingxiu said expressionlessly: "Say something back?"
"Come here, torture me!"
Dai Lingxiu dropped a token.
The officer took the order, lifted Wang Zisheng up, and prepared to torture him.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Liuyun stood up.
"Sir, how can Wang Zisheng, who is only in the Qi and Blood Realm, loot the grain depot and the warehouses of the four major families?"
"Since there is such a big case, let me, the head catcher, investigate it thoroughly."
As soon as these words came out.
Dai Lingxiu's forehead was throbbing with veins, Ye Liuyun repeatedly ruined his good deeds!
That's enough!
"Liu Yun, if you feel unwell, just go home and rest. You don't have to worry about the investigation."
Just at this time.
Qi Shaotang, Hou Ziyu, and He Lifang stood up.
"Sir, we are willing to help Mr. Ye investigate this case!"
Dai Lingxiu: "..."
What should I do if my old puppy suddenly becomes disobedient?
Take a deep breath.
Dai Lingxiu groaned and said: "Well, you go and investigate. If we find evidence that it was Wang Zisheng who did it, then I will definitely punish him for the crime of the Yi tribe!"
