Chapter 218: What Are You Trying For?
"It may be hard to believe that this person was not captured by me." Feng said calmly, "He was persuaded by me to surrender to the adult, if the adult doesn't believe him, you can interrogate him immediately." ”
Is there still a murderous bandit leader in this world who voluntarily surrendered? This kind of talk really sounds too!
So everyone threw surprised glances at Luo Heng.
Yao Feng frowned slightly, stared at Luo Heng, and asked coldly: "Are you really the owner of Qingfeng Village?" But are all the crimes that this girl said true? ”
Feng squinted his eyes frantically and quietly, and gave Luo Heng a look, Luo Heng immediately remembered the painful feeling when the poison in his body attacked, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Yes, I am indeed the owner of Qingfeng Village, and I did kill a lot of people, and I surrendered myself today."
Luo Heng gritted his teeth and said, his heart was dripping blood.
"Before I came, I had already arrested the bandits in Qingfeng Village, and I was just waiting for the adults to send troops to clear them."
When the others heard this, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, a bandit leader took the initiative to come and give people heads, but even his own brothers were not spared, is it okay?
Yao Feng was also taken aback, and was stunned for a while before reacting.
"What you say is true? Didn't you be forced to talk nonsense? You know, if all these crimes are true, they will be killed! ”
Luo Heng nodded and said, "I know, I surrendered sincerely, and there is absolutely no conspiracy, please rest assured." ”
His implication was that he would never tell anyone about his relationship with him.
Yao Feng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said in a soothing tone: "Since the matter is correct, then the official should naturally make a move immediately, come here, take this person down first, and immediately invite General Hu to come!" ”
General Hu is the defender of the city of Lanzhou, and only he can dispatch the troops of the camp in the city of Lanzhou, so he must be called to discuss the suppression of bandits first.
"Quit!"
The yacha immediately stepped forward and escorted Luo Heng out of the court, but before leaving, Yao Feng looked back at Feng Qingfang and said with a stern expression: "This girl, go to the back hall to rest first, and I want you to lead the way to Qingfeng Village in a while." ”
Feng nodded frantically and followed to the back hall.
After the servants served the tea, they all retreated, only Feng Qingyan and Yao Feng, and the flower hall suddenly became very quiet.
"I don't know what to call the girl?" Yao Feng suddenly asked.
Feng replied with a frantic smile: "Back to the adult, the little woman's surname is Feng." ”
"Wind girl," Yao Feng called, his gaze gradually becoming dark, and he beckoned to the door, "This is a little caution that this official is a little careful about you, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Immediately, a small servant walked in with a tray, Yao Feng reached out to uncover the red cloth on it, and the glittering gold caught Feng Qing's crazy eyes, almost blinding her.
"What do you mean, sir?" Feng Qingfang pretended to be puzzled.
Yao Feng waved his hand to signal the little servant to retreat, and then said directly: "Girl, this official doesn't want to beat around the bush, if you have something to say, just say it directly, you can force Luo Heng to turn himself in, it means that you must have your superior means, this official admires it very much, as for how you arrested him to the mansion, I don't want to ask more, I just hope you can keep your mouth shut, don't say things that shouldn't be said." ”
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for Feng Qingfang to pretend to be stupid anymore, he hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "My lord is worried that I will tell General Hu the secret of your collusion with Luo Heng, right?" ”
was so directly picked out by her, and used the word "collusion", Yao Feng's face was a little unbearable for a while, the smile on his lips stiffened slightly, and he didn't make a sound.
Feng Qingfang couldn't see the embarrassment on his face, glanced at the gold on the table, and chuckled: "If I want to keep my mouth shut, I should also show some sincerity, Luo Heng told me that the money he handed over to you every year is as much as 10,000 taels of gold, and how much is it for you here?" ”
"Even if you can't take it all out and gag me, at least half of it should be taken, right? Isn't five hundred taels a bit less? ”
In fact, Luo Heng said 10,000 taels of silver, not gold, but as soon as Yao Feng made a move, it was 500 taels of gold, and Feng Qingfang said so casually.
Yao Feng clenched his fists, and anger surged violently in his eyes, as if he was about to explode immediately.
"Ten thousand taels of gold? He may not have so much money in the entire Qingfeng Village, how can he take it out to me? Do you really believe him? ”
Feng blinked wildly with a pair of bright eyes, smiling brightly and innocently.
"I don't care about this, anyway, Luo Heng said so, he also said that he has been honoring Lord Zhizhou for six consecutive years, and it is 10,000 taels of gold every year, so you should have 60,000 taels of gold in your hand, and half of it is 30,000 taels."
"However, I see that you are a Zhizhou, and if you want to reward so many people, it should be quite expensive, and it must have cost a lot over the years, so I'll give you a discount, give me 20,000 taels, and I won't say anything, how about it?"
Yao Feng was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead because of his anger.
It's not that he can't take out 20,000 taels of gold, but it's also a huge amount of money for him, and he gave it to a yellow-haired girl for nothing, and he hurts.
Feng Qingyan hates this kind of corrupt officials the most, he knows all day long that he exploits the people, and it is good to get a little benefit wherever he can, but he doesn't do anything at all, he is completely a vampire who occupies an official position, how can he do it if he doesn't treat it well when he has the opportunity?
"What, my lord is reluctant?"
Yao Feng glared viciously, gritted his teeth and didn't speak, while Feng sneered and immediately got up to leave.
"If you don't want to give out such a little money, then I don't have to keep it a secret for you, and when General Hu comes, ......"
"Don't force your own official!" Yao Feng slapped the table, his eyebrows were upside down, and he was full of murderous anger, "Don't forget, you are in the official's mansion at the moment, and it is not certain whether you have a chance to walk out of the door!" ”
This is a naked threat.
Feng looked at each other frantically, but he chuckled, covered his mouth and said, "I'm just joking, why should adults be angry?" Not to mention 20,000 taels of gold, even if it is your 500 taels, I will not accept it. ”
This was beyond Yao Feng's expectations, but he was not surprised, but his mood became heavier and heavier.
"You don't take money, that is, you insist on reporting the official? If so, I won't be able to let you out of this door. ”
Feng waved his hand wildly and explained: "No, no, my original intention was just to persuade adults to suppress bandits, not for money, you must know that the money in Qingfeng Village is much more than what adults can give me, I directly plundered and left, so why waste so much effort?" ”
There is a reason for that.
But Yao Feng didn't understand it even more.
"In that case, what are you trying to do?"
"I don't want anything, I just hate the bandits in Qingfeng Village, and I want to send them all to prison to avenge my sister's brutal murder by them!"
Feng Qingfang said as she showed a look of hatred, which made Yao Feng really think that she had a blood feud with Qingfeng Village for killing her sister.
"You really won't say it?" Yao Feng questioned again.
"Even if I want to say it, I have to have evidence, otherwise who will believe my words?" Feng Qingfang said quite frankly.
Hearing her say that there was no evidence in her hand, Yao Feng immediately relaxed and no longer worried about this matter, it seems that this little girl is really just scaring and scaring him.
"Come on, put these back in the treasury!"
After knowing that the handle was gone, Yao Feng unceremoniously took back the gold and restored it to its previous domineering appearance.
Feng sneered in his heart, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his mouth.
She likes money, but she doesn't take all the money, Yao Feng's money is scavenged from the people, and every cent smells of blood, so she is not rare.
As for the evidence that he received Luo Heng's money, of course she also had it, and before going down the mountain that night, she had already gone to Luo Heng's room to find out all the evidence of his dealings with Yao Feng and other local officials, and put it in her pocket, planning to send a reliable person to send the evidence to the prince's mansion in the capital in two days.
She believes that when Mu Liancheng sees those evidences, he will definitely handle it impartially and give the people justice.
It didn't take long for General Hu to come to the mansion, and after Yao Feng explained the matter to him, he immediately transferred five hundred elite soldiers out and returned to Qingfeng Village with Feng.
At this time, on the side of Qingfeng Village, Lin Yunshu, Yun Xiang, Qian Wu, and a few villagers who volunteered to stay were still busy cooking for the two hundred people in the stone room.
Because there are too few people, they have been very busy these days, and Yunxiang and several villagers are extremely reluctant to do this, because they hate these people to the core, if it weren't for the lack of arsenic-frost on their hands, they are afraid that they would have poisoned the food and sent those people to the Yellow Spring.
"I really don't understand why we're cooking for those people here, wouldn't it be better to starve them to death in there? Which of those people is not guilty of many evils and deserves death? Yun Xiang threw down the freshly washed dishes in her hand and complained angrily.
Lin Yunshu stopped her movements and persuaded softly: "If we starve two hundred people to death directly, wouldn't it be the same as those murderous bandits?" The only way to do this is to hand them over to the government and let them execute them. ”
"I don't care if it's right or not, I just want revenge!" Yun Xiang took it up with emotion, and her hands trembled with anger, "I knew that I stayed to serve them, so I left that night!" ”
Lin Yunshu looked at the killing intent in Yun Xiang's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, a little scared.
She understood that Yun Xiang had suffered a lot in Qingfeng Village, and she couldn't wait to peel off those bandits and dismantle them, if it weren't for the key to the stone room in her cousin, I'm afraid she would have rushed in and cut people down.
"Sister Yunxiang, you must be tired, go back to your room and rest, I'll clean up the rest here."
Yun Xiang has been dreaming for the past few days, dreaming of the terrible times of being tortured before, so her emotions are becoming more and more unstable, and she also knows that she should indeed go back to calm down, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back and rest early." ”
