Chapter 249: Captured Alive

The flood of the Qinjiang River seems to be more violent than usual this time, even if the defenders of Xiangcheng desperately shake the oars, there are still many houses that have been washed away, and many people have fallen into the water and cannot be saved.

"My lord, are we going to the rescue?" On the western wall of Xiangcheng, Situ Jian and several followers stood in a corner. Compared to the east wall, which was directly impacted, the west wall, which had the entire city to buffer, was much less stressed.

But even so, there are still some people in the vicinity who are caught up in the waves. The city wall is not allowed to be climbed by civilians at will, so these timid people would rather stand on their roofs and gamble their luck than provoke those officials and lords who stand on top of the high walls, this is the reality......

"What does it matter to you whether these untouchables are dead or alive? Anyway, there is Gao Shun, the old immortal, who is organizing the rescue of people, and we are just ordered to come here to go through the motions, how can you be so idle?" Situ Jian glanced at the person who had just spoken, and his bearded face was full of disdain.

"It's none of your business whether a pariah lives or dies, Situ Jian, as an official of the Ministry of Industry stationed here by the imperial court, actually let the people live and die regardless of it, and say such words, do you think your head is so strong?" Just as Situ Jian was leaning against the city wall and about to sleep, a clear voice drifted into his ears with the wind.

"Well, who's coming!" Situ Jian was a fierce spirit, and his intuition told him that the person who came was not good, and when the voice reached his ears, he immediately greeted the guards beside him.

Although Situ Jian's reaction was not slow, he couldn't catch up with Nangong Ming and Dongfang Yao's speed at all, and by the time he opened his eyes wide to see the comer, several of his guards had already been knocked to the ground by Nangong Ming and the others.

"I was ordered to supervise the governor of this place, Nangong Ming, and take down this faint official as soon as possible!" Nangong Ming raised the Qinci waist card in his hand, and the stunned guards nearby immediately rushed to Situ Jian after seeing clearly the flowing gold font of the governor of Daitian, and Situ Jian was angry when he said such words, and now that the governor has an order, he will naturally not be soft.

"Woo! You, do you want to rebel? Your Excellency, the subordinate officer only said a few wrong words negligently, but he is not guilty of this. "Situ Jian, a civil official, is naturally a little unbearable for the soldiers to stir his hands, but after all, he has the support of Situ Bao and the prince of Ming Zheng behind him, so he is not too afraid of Nangong Ming, the governor.

"Isn't that the crime? Ah Yao, list his crimes one by one, so that he can be convinced. Nangong Ming slapped Situ Jian and directly pressed his high head.

"Sinner Situ Jian, since the beginning of the twenty-fifth year of Mingxuan, you have earned more than 100,000 taels of silver, how can you be so rich as a mere four-grade official? Moreover, you have embezzled more than 10,000 yuan of silver for building embankments and dams every year, and you have also conspired with others to withhold grain and grass for disaster relief, and mixed sand with shoddy goods. Dongfang Yao threw the pamphlet in his hand in front of Situ Jian, the other party looked down, his pupils immediately shrank, and he couldn't imagine that what he had done over the years was so clearly checked by the other party.

Any one of these is enough to lose his official position and lose his life, not to mention that he himself knows that this year's disaster relief grain and grass has been manipulated by Yin Zekai in Binhai City, and he is also a participant in the share. Thinking of this, Situ Jian's forehead immediately seemed to be like a shower, and beads of sweat the size of beans quietly rolled down.

"Situ Jian, are you convinced?" Nangong Ming walked in front of Situ Jian, looked down at the other party who seemed to have leaked to the end, but he was extremely angry in his heart.

"I acted on the orders of the emperor, and the Holy God gave me the right to cut first and then play, and now the charges have already made you to death, what else do you have to say?"

"My lord, I, I am a close confidant of the prince of Ming Zheng and Yin Fu Yin, and besides, my Situ family is flourishing, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to arrest me like this. Situ Jian raised his head vigorously, wanting to say something to stop him, but found that the other party didn't seem to react at all.

"The thief Situ Jian, you committed a heinous crime and still dare to threaten this official, today I want to cut your official position and bring you to justice. ”

"Yes, it's not a pity for someone like you to die!" Dongfang Yao turned around and glanced at Jia Lian, who was about to climb the city wall, and without waiting for Nangong Ming to speak, his figure flashed in front of Situ Jian.

"Ah Yao, no!" Before Nangong Ming and Jia Lian, who had rushed over, could not fully speak, they saw Dongfang Yao raise one leg and slash at Situ Jian's neck with one foot.

"You ......" Situ Jian only felt that the spine was pressed by a huge force, not only was his mouth unable to speak, but his vision was gradually blurred.

The sound of broken bones sounded quietly, and when everyone looked at Situ Jian with both hands again, they found that he had long since disappeared.

"Ah Yao, did you kick the death hole in his neck?" Nangong Ming's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't imagine that Dongfang Yao, who had always been a Sven, would actually shoot so ruthlessly.

"I was so angry that I forgot what was important. Dongfang Yao snorted, ignoring the suspicious gazes of others.

"This ...... Alas, forget it, this person deserves his crimes, and now he has been corrected on the spot by the Dongfang Lord, and we have been spared the trouble of punishing him later. Jia Lian sighed, the other party obviously wanted to cure Situ Jian to death, he couldn't stop it, if he pretended to be confused, he would have brought it by with a word......

"Ah Yao......" Nangong Ming's eyes flickered, since he knew him, this was the first time he had seen Dongfang Yao's ruthless methods, not giving the other party a chance to speak at all, but using a killing move as soon as he came up......

"Xiao Ming, let's hurry up and save people, and when the situation here is stable, it's time to leave for Marina City. Dongfang Yao knew that his method was easy to make people suspicious, but after all, the matter had already been done, so it was better to find a way to divert everyone's attention.

"That's all there is to it. Nangong Ming glanced at Situ Jian's corpse on the ground, a moment ago he was still a beautiful court official, but at this moment, it turned into a cold pile of meat......

Situ Jian's guards and entourage looked at the dead master in a daze, and they didn't react until they were tied up by the five flowers. Thinking about Situ Jian, who is a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, has been corrected on the spot, and the bad things he has helped him do over the years have filled everyone's hearts at once.

"Jia Lian, send your people to watch them, especially Situ Jian's body, don't move, wait until I save people first. Nangong Ming looked at Dongfang Yao who jumped into the distance, and a cyan cyclone rose under his feet, and followed Dongfang Yao through the roof that had not yet been flooded.

Dongfang Yao had already jumped onto the rescue boat of the Dongfang family at this moment, he knew that his move was a little anxious, and it was more likely to make Nangong Ming have some ideas, but it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of the opportunity to weaken the Situ family.

As the flood waters grew, the defenders of Xiangcheng, as well as the Dongfang family and other Jianghu forces, such as the Qinjiang Gang, also gathered in one place. For a time, although the relentless flood flooded Xiangcheng, a considerable part of the people were rescued.

"Gao Chengshou, have the people in the city been arranged?" That night, Nangong Ming and others sat on the city wall with Gao Shun, even if they were prepared, Xiangcheng still became Heze.

"Lord Governor, the people who can be saved are out of danger, but it's a pity that those who can't be rescued ......" Gao Shun said this, and finally became choked, as the highest official in Xiangcheng, he only cared about saving people during the day, and only remembered that his people had suffered a big crime this time. Especially when he saw the dead bodies floating in the water from time to time, his heart was even more sad, when will the flooding of the Qinjiang River come to an end?......

"Alas, this is my baked bun, don't grab it!" Gao Yan was beside the fire a few feet away from Nangong Ming and the others, the chief soldier of Xiangcheng was also busy for a day, and he couldn't laugh before the catastrophe, at this moment he looked tired, his stomach was even more rumbling, and the wet clothes and sludge on his body made him have no time to pay attention to it.

"Little bastard, you usually pick up meat when you have it, but now you are fighting for a piece of steamed buns, are you ashamed?" Gao Shun glanced at Gao Yan, who was shouting next to him, and scolded casually.

"I said, Lord Castle Guard, you can't do it if you don't scold me for a day. Anyway, this first wave of flooding was stopped, and before the flood poured in, wasn't the rice and grain warehouse in the city already empty. As long as the food and grass for disaster relief from the imperial court arrives, we will survive it. Gao Yan stuffed food in his mouth, but he still didn't forget to reply a few words.

"Disaster relief grain and grass? By the way, this year's disaster relief grain and grass has arrived in Binhai City, if Yin Zekai does something from it again?" Nangong Ming said this by Gao Yan, and suddenly remembered the grain that could really save the entire Xiangcheng, and his body stood up immediately.

"Xiao Ming, who are you?" Dongfang Yao on the side looked up at Nangong Ming and said in a deep voice.

"Ah Yao, the situation here is not something that the two of us can solve, with Gao Chengshou and the Dongfang family, I think it can last for a while. If we leave for Coastal City immediately, Yin Zekai thinks that we are too busy with disaster relief to take care of it, and I will suddenly show up and arrest him!"

"Hehe, this method is very wonderful, Jia Lian, is there an arrangement for the factory guard?" Dongfang Yao immediately understood what his brother meant.

"Lord Qiqi, Binhai City has long been covered with the eyeliner of my factory guards, and you can leave at any time. Jia Lian stood up with Nangong Ming, knowing that the young governor was about to make a move.

"Okay, let's go to Binhai immediately, Yin Zekai, the innocent people in Xiangcheng today, I want you to repay it twice!" Nangong Ming looked in the direction of the east, a pair of starry eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

"Lord Governor, just deal with important matters, this old man in Xiangcheng will definitely defend his life. In addition, Gao Yan, hand over all the money laundering accounts that Yin Zekai has done in our city over the years to the governor. Gao Shun sighed, and stood up with Gao Yan's support, as a parent official, he watched his people suffer disasters every year, and he already hated those moths in his heart, he knew that one day they would definitely suffer retribution, and Gao Shun was also prepared for that day.

"This is very good, if it is convenient, send someone to invite Mr. Bai Chongwen, he is extremely expert in such matters. Nangong Ming's mind suddenly remembered the white-haired old man by the river, was he okay when the flood hit at this moment?

"The subordinate obeys!"
