Chapter 49: Fighting the Tiger

On the morning of September 25, there were no new changes in the battle situation, but there was a small storm in Shouzhou City-

Early in the morning, Zheng Fei, who had been hanging on the wooden pole outside the Thorn Mansion for three days, couldn't hold it anymore, and finally wailed: "I confess, all of them!" I want to see Lord Lin! ”

Lin Feng, who was on the front line of the Huai River, received a report from the special soldiers, carefully observed that there was no movement on the north bank of the Huai River, and ordered the front line to continue to strengthen the vigilance.

Back at the Assassin's Mansion, Lin Feng did not interrogate Zheng Fei for the first time, but first met with the soldiers who were guarding Zheng Fei and the two special soldiers who were secretly observing. In later generations, he has seen countless dramas of the main theme of fighting traitorous officials, Lin Feng knew that if he wanted to fight corrupt officials, he had to be more shrewd and scoundrel than them, and tying Zheng Fei outside would naturally not be as simple as forcing him to confess and inform the people.

According to the soldiers, at first, many people watched Zheng Fei, but after hearing that Zheng Fei had committed a private increase in commercial taxes, they scolded one after another, and the most angry person only smacked Zheng Fei twice. In the next two days, the people in the past basically turned a blind eye to Zheng Fei. However, at about five o'clock in the morning today, suddenly several more people came who said that they had been indiscriminately collected by Zheng Fei, first spitting, then throwing clods of soil and leftovers, and then someone started throwing stones, and suddenly rushed up and beat them. The soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop and disperse the group. As soon as these people left, Zheng Fei seemed to suddenly wake up and said that he wanted to see Master Lin.

"Is there anything wrong with Zheng Fei?" Lin Feng hurriedly asked.

"Lord Huilin, his head was smashed, he bled a little, and he was in a coma for a short while, but now he is fine." The guards reported.

Lin Feng nodded, looked at Duan Hao, a special soldier who was ordered to observe in secret, and asked, "Did the person who threw the stone follow?" ”

Duan Hao stepped forward and said softly, "It was the two young men who threw the stones, after they left the Assassin's Mansion, they went their separate ways, and I followed one of the slightly older people all the way to his house. After asking the neighbors, this person was a member of the Assassin Mansion Si Cang who joined the army and Yu Fu was a member of the lower part of the mansion. ”

Lin Feng turned to Ye Yanxiong, another soldier on a special mission, and asked, "Has there ever been any movement in Zheng Fei's family?" ”

Ye Yanxiong replied in a deep voice: "I have been hiding on the beam of Zheng Fei's house before that. Last night, Si Cang's army Yu Flip sent a housekeeper to lead a few people to Zheng Fei's house, claiming that there was an official account book that should be left in Zheng Fei's house, and the Assassin Mansion was in urgent use, hoping to find it together. The Zheng family was moved and wanted to rummage in the house. I immediately jumped out and stated that Lord Lin would not allow anyone to destroy the scene of the case, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law. The men had just left. ”

Lin Feng immediately frowned and said, "Then did you ask the Zheng family if they have any account books?" ”

Ye Yanxiong replied: "I have asked, Zheng said that he often sees Zheng Fei mysteriously writing down some things alone, but no one has seen any account books. ”

It's clear at this point! Yu Tuo is Zheng Fei's boss, at least in the matter of indiscriminate collection of business taxes, it is already very unclean!

Lin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, this Yu Fan always has a smile on his face when he sees himself and others every day, and he has always accepted any governance measures for himself unconditionally, and he looks harmless to humans and animals, but he can't imagine that he dares to stretch out his hand like this behind his back, it is really a human heart!

Lin Feng immediately instructed Feng Jingyun: "Take two teams of brothers, some of them will go to seal Yu Fu's mansion, and some of them will seal all the case files and records he has handled!" ”

The wind laughed evilly, got up and left.

"Wait, do you know the principles of doing things?" Lin Feng asked urgently.

The wind was frightened and Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "Please rest assured, Lord Lin, everything remains the same, not less than a penny, not less than a piece of paper, not less than one person." ”

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to signal Feng Jingyun to go quickly, turned around and ordered the soldiers to escort Zheng Fei up.

Not long after, Zheng Fei, who was almost paralyzed in the mud, was put in, his body was trembling all the time, and his head was swollen with a big bump that was still oozing blood, and he immediately kowtowed desperately when he saw Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sneered: "You know, the more you kowtow, the more you will make me angry!" ”

Zheng Fei immediately stopped kowtowing, and the person lay on the ground, trying to raise his head, and cried: "Lord Lin, I-"

Lin Feng snorted coldly, stopped his speech, and said loudly: "You are also a little backbone, I am afraid that you have made up your mind that you would rather die than confess, but unfortunately your backer is the most stubborn, but he can't hold his breath anymore, and he wants to find someone to kill you secretly, but you have a conscience and start to be afraid of death again, so you want to confess, right?" ”

Zheng Fei's face was full of horror, and he looked at Lin Feng in disbelief, and his body trembled even more violently.

"Zheng Fei, Zheng Fei, think about it, there are endless examples of being betrayed behind the backs of so-called friends and bosses in this world, and they have been endless since ancient times. For what? It is because you are only temporarily allied because of interests, and once you threaten yourself, your first reaction is how to protect yourself. Lin Feng got up and paced as he spoke, walked up to Zheng Fei, stared straight into his eyes, and suddenly asked word by word, "The Shangguan who secretly ordered you to do this is Yu Xuan, right?!" ”

Zheng Fei was completely frightened, and he sat there paralyzed, tears and snot flowing.

Lin Feng returned to his seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and said softly: "I might as well tell you something, if I hadn't secretly sent someone to protect your family, I'm afraid that it would not be a stone to greet you in the early hours of this morning, but someone would have taken your son's token to force you to confess!" ”

Zheng Fei seemed to be woken up, and the spirit straightened up suddenly, his face changed abruptly, and his teeth were clenched.

"Say, you still have the last chance to confess where the account books you kept secretly, and promise to be a witness to testify against you, I can consider giving you a light sentence!" Lin Feng said unhurriedly.

When Zheng Fei heard this, he immediately kowtowed, and shouted with all his strength: "If he is unkind, he expects me to be righteous, Lord Lin, I am willing to be a witness, I will recruit them all!" What instructs me every day is Yu Translation, and every money I collect, I can keep half of it. I kept a daily record of every black account, hidden under the tiles at the bottom of the large urn in the corner of my house, and in it all the money, the amount I had kept, and the time and manner in which I paid it......"

Lin Feng nodded to Zhao Zanting, who had been recording in the corner of the house, and motioned for him to sort out these contents and let Zheng Fei sign and draw them.

Things were almost busy here, Feng Jingyun walked in with hatred on his face, Lin Feng felt bad, and hurriedly asked how the matter of raiding the house was going.

Feng Jingyun slapped his thigh and said angrily: "We acted fast enough, but when we arrived at Yu's study, we found that Yu had committed suicide by hanging from the beam!" ”

Lin Feng frowned, and he admired the courage and determination of this "good old man" in his heart.

Lin Feng asked unwillingly, "Does he have any external injuries on his body?" Have you asked his family if any outsiders have entered his house this morning? ”

Feng Jingyun shook his head again and again, and replied: "He doesn't have any external injuries or traces of fighting!" Yu Zhang cried and complained that early this morning, only one of his subordinates hurried over from outside to meet him, and the two of them had said something in the study, and Yu Xuan ordered that there was a very important document to be written, and no subordinate should disturb him. Their family found out with us that Yu had committed suicide. ”

Lin Feng sighed secretly, when people die, the lights go out, I can't imagine that Yu Flip will act so ruthlessly, and this corruption clue will be completely broken when it comes to Yu Flip. Lin Feng had to instruct Feng Jingyun and Zhao Zanting to hurry up the time to sort out the property of the Yu Mansion and the various files he handled.

However, on the morning of the 25th, when Lin Feng told the story of Yu overturning corruption at the temporary three-government collegial meeting, it triggered the most serious controversy since the collegial meeting of this system.
