Ye Xiangnan's eyes widened and he looked at Wu Tianci with a look of disbelief, as if he had heard something out of the blue, "A living pile?"
"Sir, where did you hear this weird thing about using living people as stakes? Are you crazy?"
Wu Tianci glanced at Lin Jiuniang, who was sitting silently next to him, and looked at Ye Xiangnan seriously:
"I have received a report that when you were driving pilings on this bridge, you failed to drive in them for several days. You believed some rumors and used living people to make pilings. Let me ask you, is this the case?"
Ye Xiangnan laughed angrily, "Sir, you believe these rumors too."
"I, Ye Xiangnan, do things worthy of heaven and earth, and will never do such unscrupulous things. If you have any doubts, you can check this place carefully."
Wu Tianci snorted coldly, "I will naturally investigate."
"I heard that you poured some cement blocks a few days ago. Where are they?"
Ye Xiangnan pointed to several places, including the one just fished out of the water, four in total.
Without saying a word, Wu Tianci immediately asked people to smash these cement blocks.
Ye Xiangnan wanted to stop it. After all, it cost a lot of materials and money. It was so sad to have it smashed like this.
But Lin Jiuniang stopped him.
"Let Mr. Wu smash it. If not, the crime will fall on us. I, Lin Jiuniang, cannot do such an unscrupulous thing."
"Master Ye, don't stop me. I'll wait for Master Wu to clear my name."
"Master Wu, we are really doing our duty, so, Master Ye, please don't stop us, do you hear me?"
Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Wu, you will be very busy from now on. I don't know how many reports you will receive this day."
Wu Tianci ignored Lin Jiuniang's strange aura and asked him to move faster, and the first thing to be hit was the piece that Lin Jiuniang kicked into the river.
The human stake is actually a kind of living sacrifice, and the method can be described as extremely cruel.
Think about a living person being buried with sand, gravel and cement, which is equivalent to being buried alive. How can it not be cruel?
He would never allow such cruel things to happen.
Ye Xiangnan looked at Lin Jiuniang, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Jiuniang.
The cement block was smashed to pieces, but except for sand, gravel, cement and iron bars, there was nothing inside.
"alright!"
Lin Jiuniang shook her feet as if to relax, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth with a hint of ridicule:
"Master Wu really spared no effort in order to make an anonymous report. Master Wu, if you want to continue investigating the case of a living person, then continue smashing it. Anyway, we have just started to prepare materials for this bridge and it has not been built yet.
Everything is here, you can smash it as you like, you’re welcome.”
Wu Tianci looked ugly and waved people away.
"Master Wu, do you just want to leave like this?" Lin Jiuniang looked at his figure and sneered:
"Ye Xiangnan, tell Mr. Wu how much these pillars cost! I believe Mr. Wu was so confident that he smashed them, so he should have prepared money to compensate."
If you smash it and leave, who will give you face?
Officer, don’t you want to pay?
No, you must pay!
"One pier is ten taels of silver, four is forty taels," Ye Xiangnan quoted with a serious look.
Lin Jiuniang looked at Wu Tianci, whose expression changed drastically, "Mr. Wu, did you hear that? Forty taels, plus labor, just pay fifty taels."
Wu Tianci looked ugly. At fifty taels, were she sure she wasn't blackmailing her?
This woman, Lin Jiuniang, is clearly deliberately making things difficult for her, which is disgusting.
"Lin Jiuniang, don't go too far..."
"Why did I go too far?" Lin Jiuniang was amused, and anger came to her eyes, "Why, you caused my loss. Am I responsible for the loss, and you shouldn't compensate me?"
"Or does Mr. Wu think that since you are an official, you will be punished if you smash it without any compensation?"
"Ms. Lin, why do you have to be so aggressive? Master Wu, it's just to handle the case."
A male voice interrupted, attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Jiuniang glanced at the other person, her eyes were not straight, she looked like he was not a good person, her eyes showed disgust, "Who are you?"
Qian Anbang saw everyone looking at him, smiled at the yamen servant, and walked in.
He saluted Wu Tianci and then nodded to Lin Jiuniang, "I'm Qian Anbang, but I'm just not used to Mrs. Lin being so aggressive."
"So, you want to compensate him, right? You should have said it earlier," Lin Jiuniang stretched out her hand, "Pay for it."
Qian Anbang was stunned for a moment, "Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Wu Tianci rejected Qian Anbang's kindness and looked at Lin Jiuniang with evil eyes, "After I return to the Yamen, I will have someone send me some money."
Lin Jiuniang shrugged and retracted her hand, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Wu. I'll also trouble Mr. Wu to issue a notice or something to clarify what happened today."
"Ah, I forgot to ask Mr. Wu."
Lin Jiuniang raised her head, half-smiling but not smiling, "Mr. Wu, did you find anything on my boat?"
"Are you going to take me to the Yamen for questioning now? Do you want me to be handcuffed and shackled?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands as if to lock me quickly.
Wu Tianci was so angry at Lin Jiuniang's appearance. This woman clearly did it on purpose.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Lin Jiuniang with an indifferent expression:
"Lin Jiuniang, this officer is just handling the case impartially. After all, someone reported you for smuggling two thousand kilograms of smuggled salt. Naturally, I want to board the ship for inspection."
"Smuggling salt?" Lin Jiuniang sneered, "Sir, have you found the salt?"
Wu Tianci's face turned red. If he found it, would he still stand here and be ridiculed by her?
This woman did it on purpose.
She just wants to make a fool of herself!
He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Qian Anbang talking to himself next to him and was suddenly stunned.
The next second, he looked at Qian Anbang ecstatically:
"Master Qian, what were you talking about just now?"
Qian Anbang was confused, "I, did I say anything?"
Then, with a look of realization on his face, he said, "I mean, if the ship carries more than two thousand kilograms of things, the waterline will be very deep."
Wu Tianci quickly looked in the direction of the ship, right? Lin Jiuniang's ship had a really deep waterline.
With the weight of kama, even if the cabin is filled to the brim, it is impossible for the ship to draft so deep.
There's something hidden on the boat!
There was a secret compartment on the ship that he hadn't found yet!
Wu Tianci became surprised and immediately led people to rush towards the ship.
Lin Jiuniang naturally had no reason to stop her and walked forward. However, when she came to Qian Anbang, she stopped and looked at him with a half-smile:
"money?"
"Qian's Weaving Workshop?"
Before he could say anything, Lin Jiuniang turned around and left, "It's definitely not the Qian family. People in the Qian family don't have such long mouths."
Qian Anbang's face instantly twisted. This woman is really capable of making people want to break her neck.
Does she not know who she is?
It was clear that he deliberately suppressed himself.
He took a deep breath, looked at the other person's figure, and said slowly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I happen to be from Qian's family."
"oh!"
Lin Jiuniang turned around, half-smiling but not smiling, "It turns out they are the Qian family, no wonder they are so despicable and shameless!"
Qian Anbang almost fainted from anger. This woman is really hateful!
A fierce light flashed through his eyes, and a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth. Lin Jiuniang, let me laugh now. I will see how you die later?
He glanced at the cement block next to him with disgust, idiot!
It's really naive to want to bring down Lin Jiuniang with this low-level frame-up method.
What he didn't know was that not far away, Song Xuewen in the crowd was looking here with a pale face. Why was there no one in the cement pier?
The night before yesterday, he clearly used these sandstones and cement to seal a person in. Why is it gone now?
