Liu Sanbang came over from the hospital after bandaging his wounds. He wanted to go all out to get rid of the bad luck of being bitten, but he lost all his money in one breath. He suddenly lost his interest in gambling and went up to the second floor with a little lady in his arms.
While he was doing Yun Yu's business, he heard shouts of killing coming from downstairs. Liu Sanbang put on his robe and hurried downstairs, shouting: "Who dares to come to my territory to cause trouble, I don't want to live anymore."
When I rushed downstairs, I saw that more than a dozen members of the Bangzi Club who were watching the scene had fallen down. The gamblers swept away the money on the table and rushed outside. A group of strangers were waiting seriously. The leader looked at them with cold eyes.
He shouted with a cold face: "You dare to come to my Bangzihui territory to cause trouble. You are so brave. If you have the nerve, come and report your name."
It was Wang Hu who came and asked: "Are you Liu Sanbang?"
"It's me, your young master."
"It's you." Wang Hu suddenly moved, like a fierce beast.
Liu Sanbang felt a different aura from Wang Hu. This aura was definitely not what a person on the street should have. It was more like a warrior in the army. He panicked and turned around to run away. However, his leg injury was not healed.
It's inconvenient, how can it be faster than the king tiger that comes up to kill?
"kill!"
A roar, the sound was terrifying.
The violent iron fist hit Liu Sanbang's head like a meteor, frightening Liu Sanbang and crouching down to avoid it. Wang Hu had already calculated and hit Liu Sanbang hard with his knee, hitting Liu Sanbang's face. His nose was crushed and blood gushed out.
"Ah!" Liu Sanbang screamed and fell to the ground.
Wang Hu kicked him hard.
"Crack!"
There was a sound of cracking bones, and Liu Sanbang felt that at least three ribs in his chest were broken, and there was a huge stinging pain. His vision went black, and he fainted.
Wang Hu flew up and lifted Liu Sanbang to the feet of a brother and shouted: "Tie him up and take him away. Others will clean up the scene and take all the money with him as compensation."
"Follow the order!" Everyone responded loudly and took action quickly.
Not long after, everyone left the gambling house, accompanied by a group of stick club members who were watching the scene, and more than a dozen large packages. Liu Sanbang, who had fainted, was splashed with cold water and woke up. He followed him forward obediently, his face as pale as a sheet of paper.
Countless people came to watch, pointing and talking.
When they returned to the county government office, Luo Wu had also returned and was waiting. He was relieved when he saw that Liu Sanbang had been caught.
The county magistrate Ma Zhou was also waiting. When the murderer arrived, he went directly to the court for questioning.
With Boss Zhou as the culprit, Liu Sanbang couldn't deny it and could only admit his guilt, but he refused to tell the person who was behind it, saying that he was just greedy and no one was there to instigate him.
Seeing that this could not continue, Luo Wu gave Ma Zhou a wait-and-see look, came to Liu Sanbang and whispered: "You want to take all the blame, so that the people behind you can take care of your family? And reveal the behind-the-scenes instructions?"
Otherwise, your whole family will be affected by the disaster, right?"
"Who are you and why are you nosy?" Liu Sanbang asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that the farmers' food is supplied to the King of Han. If you hit them, you're slapping the King of Han in the face. If you take all the blame and don't reveal the mastermind behind it, I will kill your whole family.
Promise that no one will be spared. If the mastermind is revealed, I will kill them. You will definitely not survive, but your family will survive. Are you sure you have to risk the lives of the whole family to punish the people behind it?"
"King Han, how is this possible?" Liu Sanbang's expression changed drastically. He really didn't know the twists and turns behind this.
Soon, Liu Sanbang thought of something and was furious: "Okay, why don't they do it themselves? It's not that they don't have anyone under their command. It turns out that they are afraid of the King of Han and use me as a swordsman."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to recruit?" Luo Wu urged.
"Recruit, I will recruit, they are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Liu Sanbang said angrily, abandoning the whole situation. The Department Store Pavilion could not afford to offend him, but the King of Han could not afford to offend him. He signed and adjourned the confession and asked: "My lord, I don't want to die, but do you think I can survive?"
Whatever you do is fine.”
"Kill to pay for your life, don't even think about it. For the sake of your confession, as long as you continue to cooperate, I will do what I say and will never touch your family. But that may not be the case with the department store. I see that you are also someone who understands."
A smart person who assesses the situation knows what to do, right?"
"I know, I know, if they don't die, they will definitely kill my whole family to vent their anger. Only if they die can my family survive." Liu Sanbang said quickly.
"He is indeed a smart man." Luo Wu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou nodded knowingly and shouted to the two arresters: "You two lead the team and arrest the steward in charge of purchasing."
"Here!" The two of them clasped their fists solemnly and hurried away.
Luo Wu gave Wang Hu a look.
Wang Hu also nodded thoughtfully and led some people to follow him to help.
Obtaining the testimony of the murderer Liu Sanbang was not enough. Liu Sanbang was taken away and imprisoned. The other people who had followed Liu Sanbang to Zhou Laohan's house were brought up one by one for questioning and signed and stamped.
Not long after, the policeman and Wang Hu hurried over, each of them looking ugly.
Zhang Captou said shamefully: "My lord, when I and others rushed to the purchasing manager's home, he had already taken poison and died. There were no signs of a fight at the scene. He might have committed suicide out of fear of crime, or he might have been poisoned by someone he knew."
"Really?" Ma Zhou and Luo Wu said almost at the same time.
Once a person dies, the clue is lost.
Liu Sanbang, on the other hand, only interacted with the purchasing manager and had no contact with higher-level officials. He was unable to climb up and kill more people. Ma Zhou looked at Luo Wu with a troubled expression.
Luo Wu thought for a while and signaled Wang Hu to go back to Qinjiazhuang first, report the situation truthfully, and wait for disposal.
Almost at the same time, inside the Manlu Hall.
Li Er's face changed slightly after hearing Wei Zheng's explanation of the situation. Of course he would not take it seriously, but the department store was different. The Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry were behind it.
The art of the emperor is about checks and balances, rather than letting one party dominate. The power and reputation of the King of Han are already large enough. If it continues to grow, it will affect the imperial power, but it is definitely not possible to suppress it. As a lesson from the past, suppressing the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry will not work either.
Make the King of Han more powerful.
For a moment, Li Er was a little confused - who is the master of a country?
Wei Zheng didn't care so much and continued: "Your Majesty, I impeach Nan Yasi for acting recklessly..."
"Wait a moment."
Li Er suddenly realized that he had overlooked something more important. The Nanya Division was temporarily led by King Jin. What did King Jin want to do? Could it be that he couldn't wait and wanted to seize his position?
Or is it that King Jin didn't know about it and it was the people below who acted privately? If so, it means that King Jin is unable to control Nanyasi. If Nanyasi does something inappropriate, wouldn't his own life be in danger?
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but sweat broke out on his back, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
"Your Majesty!" Wang De hurriedly came in.
"Tell Li Zhi to come here." Li Er roared angrily, furious.
Wang De didn't know why and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurried away.
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng and asked for details carefully, who led the troops, how many people they led, etc. When he learned that thousands of people were dispatched, his face became more and more gloomy. Thousands of people were mobilized as soon as they were told. What if they were to attack the palace city?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Li Er became, and he couldn't help but think of Cheng Yaojin's good deeds.
When Cheng Yaojin was in charge of Nan Yasi, he never made any mistakes and had no worries. Now, such a big thing happened in the hands of Prince Jin. If it hadn't been exposed because of the Department Store Pavilion, wouldn't he still be kept in the dark?
After waiting for a while, Jin Wang Li Zhi hurriedly came in: "My son, I see my father!"
"I have met the King of Jin!" Wei Zheng saluted according to the rules.
"Master Wei, you are polite." Li Zhi returned the courtesy, and then looked at Li Er: "Why do you want to find your father?"
"The reason why Nan Yasi sent out thousands of people is to quell the chaos. Do you know this?" Li Er asked in a deep voice. He opened the door when he came up and stared at Li Zhi with his eyes as sharp as a torch.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a confused look on his face: "What did my father say that my son didn't know about? I went to the Imperial College early this morning and just came back."
Li Er saw that Li Zhi did not seem to be in the know, so he felt reassured. As long as the family was not in trouble, Li Zhi could not wait to grab his position. He asked: "You are also in charge of the Nanya Division. You can't say you don't know."
Li Zhi suddenly thought of something and his face changed slightly.
Li Zhi saw something fishy and asked: "Why don't we actually recruit him?"
"Father, son and minister..."
Li Zhi hesitated to speak. When he saw Li Er's knife-like eyes, he knew that he could not get away with it. He bit the bullet and explained: "Father, my son has been too busy studying recently and is too busy. In addition, he is young and lacks experience.
I didn't know how to fight, so I entrusted my wife's uncle Liu Shi (shì) to handle the affairs of the Nanya Division on my behalf. He was only temporarily acting as an agent for daily affairs, and no major affairs were entrusted. Furthermore, Liu Shi had served as a secretary in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and as a minister of the Ministry of War.
We are family again, so we can rest assured, so..."
"So you handed over the entire Nanya Division to him? Then do you want to hand over your Jin Prince's Mansion to him?" Li Er was furious. That was the Nanya Division composed of tens of thousands of elite soldiers. It was a murderous weapon.
He rushed forward and kicked Li Zhi to the ground, and said angrily: "You have disappointed me so much. What kind of place is Nanyasi? How can you entrust it to others?"
After saying that, Li Er became even more angry and rushed forward to fight again.
Wei Zheng hurriedly stopped him and comforted him: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin is so kind that he mistrusted others and made an unintentional mistake..."
"Wei Laohei, get out of my way. Is this being kind? This is mindless." Li Er became more and more angry as he spoke, and kicked him again.
Li Zhi didn't dare to dodge and was kicked hard.
Wei Zheng, with his old arms and legs and a civil servant, could not stop Li Er, but his mind was quick and he quickly reminded: "Don't you think it's strange, Your Majesty? Why is King Jin suddenly so burdened with studies?"
