Chapter 188: I guess
The old slave left after explaining what should be explained, and the owner of the restaurant here didn't take it long after taking the reassuring pill, and the words from Xiao Er in the store made his heart cold by half, and the tension and fear that he had just suppressed climbed up his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, isn't it just a few people who died, which beast tide attack the city without killing a person? As long as I bite to death and don't admit it, they have no evidence, and there is nothing to do with me, if they forcibly detain me, the president will definitely find a way to save me." ”
After talking to himself, the restaurant owner seemed to calm down, he took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked out.
In the marshal's mansion, Li Rong and the four stinkers had been waiting for a long time, and when the militia escorted the restaurant owner to come, the five of them were urgently discussing the changes in the beast tide army on the battlefield ahead.
It turned out that when Li Rong and the five of them were dealing with the snake throwing case in the fortress, there were also great changes outside the fortress - after the leopard army was exhausted, a large number of monitor lizards appeared at the end of the horizon.
Monitor lizards are creatures with thick skin and flesh, and unless they are killed with a heavy hammer, they are difficult to hurt by swords, and even the most fragile eyes are protected by a thick film, so that there is nowhere to start.
News came from the military division that monitor lizards had replaced leopards as the main force in the siege, and the traps on the ground and the fortifications on the city walls were of little damage to them, and the pressure on the city head had greatly increased.
"The first time there were only wolves, but now there are not only leopards, but also lizards, and leopards are good at speed and strong attacks, lizards are good at defense, their tongues are also very powerful, it will be very troublesome to be entangled, and it is a shame that we are hiding in the fortress, if it is outside, it is estimated that it will be more auspicious. The three new younger brothers glanced at each other, and they all saw the happiness in each other's eyes.
"Think too much, let's go out and don't defend the city, the leopards may be more troublesome to deal with, but these lizards are so slow that they can't catch up with us, as long as there are no vehicles and other troops in the team that slow down the march, it is not difficult to survive. Zhang Kaiyu rationally analyzed.
"Concentrate on it, now it's time to discuss how to deal with monitor lizards. Li Rong knocked on the table, trying to bring the topic back.
Zhang Kaiyu pursed his lips and said, "That's a headache for you, we just have to obey the order." ”
Li Rong was speechless, at this moment, the restaurant owner was escorted by the militia, and the five of them suddenly stopped communicating, or sat or stood to look at the restaurant owner who was calm and relaxed, completely with a posture of scrutiny.
On the other hand, the owner of the restaurant, not only was not afraid of the scrutiny of the five people, but was calm and relaxed, not in a hurry at all, and from time to time he glanced at the five people with disdain, completely unconcerned about what the crime he was arrested was.
"Marshal, people have brought. The militia stepped forward and said.
Zhang Kaiyu and the four of them immediately stood up, and they knew that it was time to try the case next.
But what made them stumble was that Li Rong temporarily changed his mind and said to the militia: "Well, then lock him up, remember, you have to find a small room that is absolutely quiet and locked up alone, no one is allowed to contact him without my permission, oh yes, there are no windows in the room, the door must be sealed, and no one outside is allowed to talk to him." ”
Li Rong's hand made Zhang Kai drag the four of them like falling into a cloud, isn't it written in the script, didn't it say that they would be tortured? Why did they suddenly not be tried?
The owner of the restaurant was also caught off guard, he had already made up his mind not to say anything, and he would not speak, because as long as the Marshal's Mansion did not have conclusive evidence, he could not do anything to him, and there was the president of the Chamber of Commerce behind him, he had nothing to fear.
But as a result, Li Rong didn't ask anything at all, and wanted to lock him up directly, which made the restaurant owner anxious, and hurriedly said: "Why do you want to lock me up? I am a businessman, and I have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, so you can't lock me up!"
"Oh, you're a businessman?" Li Rong smiled.
"Naturally, if you don't believe it, you can ask around. The restaurant owner said loudly.
"Don't ask, come on, take this businessman down and lock him up. ”
Li Rong once again surprised everyone, completely ignored the restaurant owner's grievances, and directly sent him to prison.
"You...... You...... You can't do this! Let me go! I won't go to prison! I'm not a prisoner! You can't arrest me! Li Rong, you detain me for no reason, I'm going to sue you!"
The owner of the restaurant was taken away, and Li Rong drank tea leisurely, without the idea of explanation.
Zhang Kaiyu couldn't help it, and asked, "Didn't you say that you would be tried before? Why are you locked up if you don't agree with each other?"
"Looking at him like that, I know that the trial can't be done, have you ever seen anyone who has entered the marshal's mansion to pass the trial more calmly than him?" Li Rong said: "His light and light face is not pretending, it should be someone who supports him in private, so that he has no fear, in this case, even if we are tortured, we may not be able to make him confide half a word, after all, it is a human life, and admitting it is a knife, can he easily speak?"
"You have a point, but what are you going to do? Are you going to lock him up? I'm afraid it's not right?" said one of them.
Li Rong smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, of course...... Abuse of power and oppression of good people, etc. The man hesitated for a moment, then said euphemistically.
"Do you want to say that you are arbitrary and careless of people's lives?" Li Rong smiled disapprethoughtly and said, "Even if I careless of people's lives, who can take care of me? Who can sanction me?"
"This ...... It seems to be true. "That person thinks that Li Rong's words are a bit rebellious, a marshal stationed in the fortress, how dare he be so rampant? But if you think about it carefully, there is no country in the battlefield of the formation, the fortress is already the largest base, the marshal is the biggest official, to put it bluntly, he is the emperor of the soil, who can do anything to him?
"There is no court in this place, there are no officials more senior than me, I have mastered the army, I am a word hall that is to be stopped, whoever dares to disobey me, I will destroy him. Li Rong said: "Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, the people's will is still very important, but there are three monuments in front, most of the people's hearts are towards me, and the people have no good impression of businessmen, and I can't cause panic by punishing one or two businessmen." ”
"What about the merchant?" asked Zhang Kaiyu.
Li Rong said: "The businessman doesn't have to care, from the moment the businessman's strike ended, this restaurant owner has become the outcast of all the businessmen, no matter what we do, they will not object, it stands to reason that he himself knows this truth, should not dare to provoke us again, now that such a thing happens, there must be someone behind the back, re-supporting his outcast, not necessarily to help him, may be coming to us." ”
Li Rong analyzed the matter in a few words, and when everyone heard it, they felt that it was really like this, Li Rong was the biggest official in the fortress, and he dominated the interests of the people and businessmen, and occasionally did something out of the cabinet, and no one could really do anything to him.
"Of course, the restaurant owner still has to be tried, after all, we are only through reasoning now, and it would not be good if we were judged unjust, false and wrongly decided. Li Rong continued: "But we can't be in a hurry, the beast tide is in front, we are not suitable to devote too much energy to deal with other things, in addition, I also have two intentions, one is to lure the snake out of the hole, to see if the people behind him will jump out to catch people, and the other is to let the restaurant owner be our tainted witness and bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice." ”
"Tainted witness?" is a new word, but it's easy to understand, but how can you guarantee that he will be the one who is tainted and confess who is behind the scenes?" Mr. Zhang said.
Li Rong smiled mysteriously and said, "I guess." (To be continued.) )
