Chapter 204: The Mudlower the Water, the Better

During the public trial, Li Qing and Lei Zhenjiang left the scene halfway and went to the barracks to interrogate Huang Liuye, and Lu Hongniang sat at the venue to hear the trial, which was actually supervising Wu County's order, and the main culprit Huang Dafa was being protected, and Wu County's order could only interrogate those family members first.

Those family members had already confessed their guilt and had their words and paintings examined, and being interrogated again was just a formality, and they all confessed happily, in fact, it was just a retelling of what they had said before.

Although there were more than 100 suspects arraigned one by one, they all confessed quickly, and they were detained without a moment's delay, so the trial was very fast, and it also made the people around the people angry, and the gentry and heroes who watched the trial had different expressions, some were panicked, some were gloating, and even had a comfortable feeling of raising their eyebrows.

Those with a good sense of smell feel that this day seems to be changing, and only those who are good at seizing opportunities can win in the fierce competition, and now, it is the king to wait and see what happens, and they are waiting to step on the corpses of the eight families.

The last to be interrogated was the main suspect Huang Dafa Huang Liuye, Huang Liuye is very single, and he poured out everything he knew, even if it was the dirty things he had done on his orders, he planted it on the head of the family Huang Yunfa, picked himself up, or tried to reduce his own crimes, and took the initiative to be a tainted witness, striving for leniency, of course, he also has the conditions to ensure the personal safety of him and his family.

Huang Liuye's confession of all kinds of shady scenes is like a bombshell, blowing up waves and anger in the hearts of the people, in vain they regard the eight families as the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering to worship and gratitude, who thinks that all this is an illusion and a conspiracy, it is not my business to be a traitor, but you kill my relatives and friends, you are my enemy, and I am inseparable from your eight families.

The people were talking, their voices were getting louder, and the righteous indignation in their hearts was getting stronger, and there was a hidden possibility of eruption, which made Lu Hongniang, Lei Zhenjiang, Zhao Shujiao and others present feel uneasy, and Wu Xianling was even more frightened.

Bang –

When the people were angry and the crowd was menacing, and civil unrest was very likely to break out, the deafening gunfire suddenly rang out, which startled everyone, and the noise died down, and everyone turned their heads to look around to find the source of the gunfire.

Lu Hongniang stood on the desk, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and the short gun that was still smoking in the other.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, listen to me, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and those who commit adultery and criminals will be punished by the law.

Whoop -

The soldiers of the Phoenix Legion around were all loaded with guns, lit the fire rope, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the indignant people, and Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of Shanguanhai, also ordered the soldiers under his command to erect shields and guns, and the archers took arrows and bent bows, making preparations for shooting.

The people were simple and simple, and under the threat of knives and guns and the persuasion and assurance of Lu Hongniang, the monstrous anger in their hearts was extinguished, and they gradually dispersed and went home.

On the one hand, Lu Hongniang ordered the seizure of all the shops opened by the Eight Families in Shanhaiguan City, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to strengthen patrols.

The officers and men of the brigade poured out of the barracks and quickly set up checkpoints on all the main transportation roads in the city, prohibiting the people from gathering, and the entire Shanhaiguan was put on military alert.

"What do you think about this?" Lu Hongniang asked at the pale Wu County Order.

"This official will go back to the county government to issue an arrest document." Wu Xian Ling is not stupid, he still dares to protect the Huang family at this time, and the last person who loses his head is very likely to be himself, he will be eager to get rid of his relationship with the eight families, and the matter has come to this point, he can't choose at all, he is just doing business, let those bigwigs in the court have a headache.

Lei Zhenjiang, as the Qianhu of Jinyi Wei of Liaodong Wei, has certain privileges, and the person is dirty and the criminal has confessed, and the situation of signing and drawing can go to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi to arrest people openly, not to mention that Jinyi Wei usually arrests people, there is no need for any reason at all, the reason why he waited for Wu County's order to arrest the official document is just to muddy the water, according to the style of the Son of Heaven, the muddier the water, the better it is to catch fish, it depends on who is unlucky.

Lei Zhenjiang got the arrest document issued by the Wu County order, and immediately brought a team of brocade guards, accompanied by the cavalry battalion of the Phoenix Legion, half of the five hundred soldiers of the cavalry battalion dressed up as brocade guards, and slaughtered to Taiyuan Mansion.

Before the action, Lu Hongniang and others didn't think about closing the road and blocking the news, but they were worried about causing turmoil and causing panic among the people.

This action plan was vetoed, Lei Zhenjiang and his entourage hurried to Taiyuan Mansion, slow is a step slower, but the Huang family will definitely not run, just destroy some criminal evidence, they didn't expect to be able to bring down the eight families at once, it's not bad to take the Huang family first, and by the way, smear the other seven families with a threat and strike, see if they dare to be arrogant?

Lu Hongniang and Lei Zhenjiang also know that Shanhaiguan and Taiyuan Mansion are just small dramas, and the real highlight is in Beijing, and it depends on how the Son of Heaven plays with the Donglin Party.

The Eight Families opened a lot of shops in Shanhaiguan City, these shops are not only their tools to make money, but also their bases for collecting intelligence, when Huang Liuye and others were escorted into the city, they had already slipped out of the city with eyeliners, and they hurried to Taiyuan Mansion to report.

At the time of the public trial, two assassins sent by the Huang family stabbed Huang Liuye and missed, and some eyeliner ran back to report, and later, when all the arrested family members and Huang Liuye confessed, several eyeliners slipped out of the city one after another, and it was impossible to completely block the news.

"When did I send an assassin?"

After receiving the news, the eight families immediately gathered urgently to discuss countermeasures, Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang family, looked aggrieved, the old man and the seven of you are sitting here, the news has just been received, even if the assassin is really sent to exterminate the mouth, this comes and goes, can the time be in time? Don't be so mentally retarded, okay?

"Could it be that Huang Chunzhong's guy acted without permission?"

Which one of you here is not an old fox who has cultivated for thousands of years, Huang Yunfa's explanation is very reasonable, but it does not rule out other possibilities, Huang Chunzhong is Huang Yunfa's clan brother, and it is not impossible to act without asking for instructions, such a big thing happened, this guy hasn't sent back any useful news, waste one, the old Huang family has no talent?

By the way, is that guy Huang Dafa reliable?
