Chapter 877: The Surprising Truth (Part II)

Hearing this, all the officials looked suspicious, but soon, a few people suddenly came over again, and they remembered that just now, Lu Zhen only revealed his identity after listening to a secret report from a subordinate, obviously he received some exact news.

Sure enough, at this moment, there were several errand servants outside who accompanied the two of them, and when these officials saw the appearance of one of them, their faces changed again, and Ding Le stood up directly from his seat and exclaimed, "Shi Feng, are you still alive?" The tone was full of surprise.

"Ding Dianshi, the small life is big, and he finally escaped the catastrophe......" After the man named Shi Feng walked into the hall, he first bowed to everyone, but his expression was quite gloomy, and he did not have the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe mentioned in his mouth.

Lu Zhen looked at him carefully before he spoke: "When the Liang County Order had an accident that day, you were by his side, right?" ”

Shi Feng glanced at Lu Jin, who was sitting on the top side, although he didn't know his identity, he knew that his status was the highest one here, so he replied respectfully: "If you return to your lordship, that's exactly the case." The little one is a catcher in the county government, because of his responsibilities that day, so he has been following the county lord to make sure that day, but unexpectedly, he ......said, his expression darkened: "Although I was able to save my life, but the county lord they ......"

"It's no wonder you for this, who let the perpetrators be ruthless and bold. But don't worry, since the official is here, he will definitely give you and the victims justice. What is needed now is your testimony, and you must not hide anything and tell the truth. Lu Jin hurriedly said a word of comfort, and then went straight to the point.

As early as after he found out that the breach of the river embankment was vandalized, he kept an eye on it and sent several of his men to follow the river outside the city to find clues and people who might survive. Because in his mind, if Liang Xianling and the others really happened after being blown up and the embankment was blown up, then so many people fell into the water, maybe there would be one or two survivors. After all, these people were born by the Yellow River when they were young, and there are always a few people who are skilled in water and can get away with saving their lives from this disaster.

Of course, this was just a speculation, and he didn't dare to expect too much, so he just secretly sent people downstream to investigate, and did not make much noise. As a result, things really went as he expected, and after many days of inquiry, they really found such a victim who had washed down from the river. After some careful questioning by Jin Yiwei, this person revealed his true identity, and then someone hurriedly came back to report it, which prompted Lu Zhen to decide to make his identity of Jin Yiwei public.

Because he knows very well that when the matter is found at this point, there is no need to hide his head and show his tail. Because if you don't give people the ultimate certainty, it will be impossible for those county officials to stand up against the people of King Zhou's mansion, and even their own safety will not be guaranteed, so they will openly show the waist card of Jinyiwei at that time.

Judging from the current results, Lu Jin's decision is undoubtedly quite correct. As he revealed his identity, these local officials were like having a backbone, and things were much easier. At this time, they were also sitting there one by one, waiting for Shi Feng to tell the truth from before.

Shi Feng glanced at Lu Zhen and the others, and his expression quickly became resolute. Obviously, the current situation was very different from before, and all his previous concerns no longer seemed to be a problem. Thinking of this, he took a sharp breath, and while slowly exhaling, he talked about what happened on the embankment that day-

It was a late autumn evening last year, because of the heavy rain, the Yellow River outside the city continued to rise, Liang Xianling felt uneasy again, so he decided to go to the embankment to inspect again.

In this regard, Shi Feng, the head catcher who had been following him, although he had some doubts in his heart, still called a few of his subordinates to accompany him. It's just that after coming outside the city, he couldn't help but ask his boss: "My lord, in fact, we just saw the river embankment yesterday, and there is nothing wrong with this section, why are you so worried about it only for one day?" Is there something hidden in this? ”

"There's something hidden, but it's better that you don't know about it." Liang County Ling frowned deeply, and said worriedly: "As long as you can keep my Xingze River embankment peaceful and protect the people of my county, it is nothing if this official is tired." ”

Although Shi Feng was a martial artist, he still saw some problems from the other party's expression and words. But since the adults are reluctant to elaborate, it is naturally not good for him to ask too closely as a subordinate, so he can only suppress his doubts in his heart.

Later, I braved the rain to check the embankment but there was still no problem. Originally, the county government has attached great importance to the embankment of the Yellow River in the past two years, how can there be any problems. But just when everyone was about to go down the embankment and rush back to the county seat, a group of black-clothed people who came in the rain appeared in the dark.

When the two sides suddenly met, everyone was visibly taken aback. Then, Shi Feng and the others reacted quickly and scolded loudly: "Who are you waiting for, who dare to act sneakily in the heavy embankment of my Yingze County, what is your intention?" ”

When he reprimanded the other party, Shi Feng's gaze swept to his own county commander's face at this time had become very ugly, not because of anger, but because of fear. And then the other party's reaction also confirmed this, I saw the leader staring at Liang Xianling and sneering: "Liang Xianling is really loyal to his duties, it seems that he expected us to come here to do things?" ”

"You ...... This official told you a long time ago that as long as I am still the commander of Yingze County, I will not let your conspiracy succeed! Although he looked a little frightened, Liang Xianling still replied solemnly with his chest straight.

"Really? Since you don't know what to do, then you can't complain about us! The leader over there immediately waved his hand: "Tie them all up for me, and then let these people go east with the boiling river, and see who they can keep?" Dare to be the enemy of my Zhou Wangfu, it's really impatient! ”

With this order, the dozens of black-clothed people rushed over, and Shi Feng and other county officials were even more panicked after hearing the other party's report, and the movements in their hands were naturally slow. Although they didn't know why the people of the Zhou Palace's mansion suddenly came here to destroy the river embankment, they quickly met it.

However, whether it is confidence, numbers, or their own skills, they have a big gap with these black-clothed people, and soon several errand soldiers were defeated one after another, and only Shi Feng was still struggling to support. With the roar behind him after Liang County's order was overturned: "Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will investigate to the end?" In a moment's distraction, he was also knocked down in the mud by a few black-clothed men, and then, a few knives were put on his neck without hesitation, and as long as he dared to make a move, he would be beheaded.

Subsequently, these county officials and others were all tied up by the other party with ropes. When one of them came to tie up Shi Feng, he struggled again, and as a result, he knocked off the hat on the other party's head, and at the distance he entered, he saw this person's face clearly, and was suddenly shocked: "You are ...... A nursing home in Zhu Xuan's mansion, I recognize you! ”

As the head of the county government, Shi Feng naturally has to deal with people when maintaining law and order in the county. Zhu Xuan, as a person with a face in the city, is even more inevitable, and once his family's nursing home or something commits a crime, it will always fall into his hands. So the two sides have really met a few times before.

Just now, this person was hiding in the crowd and was inconspicuous, but now he started his hand face to face, and he was knocked off the hat again, and there was nothing to hide. After being recognized, this one didn't panic too much, just sneered: "What if you know this secret?" Take this secret and go and sue Lord Yama! As he spoke, the handle of the knife smashed on Shi Feng's head, knocking him out directly.

When he woke up, he found that he and the others had been hoisted to the outside of the embankment, and not far ahead, dozens of bamboos were inserted. While he was still speculating about the usefulness of the bamboo, the men in black had already lit the fire, and then there was a bang......

Shi Feng was horrified to see a scene that he would never forget in his life, with this roar, the originally solid embankment quickly shattered and collapsed, and then the boiling river began to pour in from the gap, instantly destroying the entire embankment that cost the county countless manpower and material resources.

It was only then that he realized that the other party had used gunpowder to destroy the river embankment. But before he could turn his next thought, his body hanging in mid-air suddenly sank and fell. And beside him, some other people did the same fate, but because their mouths had been blocked with cloth, so everyone could not scream, but could only open their eyes wide, and watched themselves fall towards the turbid surface of the river, and finally fell into the turbulent river with a thud, and then a wave came and swallowed them all......

Speaking of this, Shi Feng's body was already trembling violently, both angry and afraid, even the other people who listened to his description had a lot of worry on their faces. Indeed, in this monstrous Yellow River, he was tied up again, and I am afraid that nine times out of ten he will not be able to escape death. Just put yourself in the shoes of these people and shudder.

Shi Feng was silent for a while before continuing: "The small is the big one, and the small one is good at water, so he escaped his life in this disaster. However, by the time I was rescued ashore, I was already seriously injured and had been far away from Xingze, so I delayed. Moreover, this matter has a lot to do with the Zhou Wangfu, I am just a county official catcher, even if I say it, no one will believe it, and it will even bring death to myself and my family, so ......" He lowered his head with guilt.
