Chapter 259: The Dust Has Settled
As for the trial of the three people, the result was also very fast.
After a murder, those three fingers naturally hated Xiao Bo and the others, and naturally shook out all the secrets they had learned.
According to his account, Li Qiong also immediately sent someone to investigate, so as to find out how many evil things this Xiao Bo had done.
Since becoming a member of the Urban Management Bureau, Xiao Bo and others have taken advantage of the power to clarify the real estate and land in the city, and wantonly accepted bribes from wealthy businessmen in the city to help them hide their family property; on the other hand, they embezzled the fields of many people for various reasons.
"Director Zheng, are you still willing to trust a few of them now?"
With a light snort, Li Qiong looked sideways at the three of them, his eyes full of disdain.
Just a few people, the real estate under their command has been embezzled by hundreds of people, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land, far exceeding the amount of money they hold, which is simply incredible.
As for the people who were implicated by a few of them, I don't know how many.
At least Li Qiong knows quite well that there is a deeper inside story in this, otherwise with these few, he would not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Zheng Shipang's face was bitter, and Xiao Bo in the distance made a pleading appearance, but was forced down by his disgusted gaze.
"It seems that I am really wrong. His lips pursed, and Zheng Shipang's eyebrows were full of bitterness.
As the director of the urban management bureau, he had no idea that these three people had done this, and even if his father protected him, he would definitely not be able to continue in office.
In other words, his career was over.
"Of course. ”
Li Qiong was slightly repulsed, and his words were cold.
If it is said that in this case, the only thing he is dissatisfied with is that Zheng Shipang was able to get out, after all, the whole thing is caused by this person's inability to distinguish innocence, but unfortunately due to the identity of the other party, he naturally had to give up.
"What kind of person am I in your eyes?" Zheng Shipang was touched and asked suddenly.
"What kind of person? Young and impulsive, but unfortunately easily confused. Li Qiong replied.
has been an official for more than 30 years, and Li Qiong has not been tossed by those guys, so he has always adhered to his original intention, so he has not fallen.
Zheng Shipang laughed at himself: "In this way, I am actually not very suitable to be an official?" After laughing a few times in a self-deprecating manner, he said: "It's a pity that I woke up too late this time, even if I want to turn back, it is difficult." ”
After this incident, Zheng Shipang has understood that the road of his career is completely closed for him.
In fact, if it weren't for his father, I'm afraid that this time he would go directly to prison instead of standing here and chatting with Li Qiong.
Li Qiong sighed and said, "Maybe." But don't you wonder, why are those three people so arrogant, knowing that they are waiting here, and still do such a thing?"
"Why?"
Zheng Shipang thought about it, when he was deceived before, he didn't understand it, but now that he woke up, he realized that these three people had been deceiving him from the beginning.
Li Qiong complained: "I suspect that there are other people behind them, otherwise how can they hide people's eyes and ears and only now that the incident happened?"
In fact, when investigating this matter, he also found that what the three fingers did was not only harassing Jing Nian'an and raping and killing Xiaolu, for example, Li Delong and Li Desheng also suffered a lot, but they were all suppressed by others in the past, and it was also this time that Wang Mu was provoked, which brought out the whole shady scene.
"You're saying that this was done on purpose? If that's the case, why did he do it, and what good did it do him?"
Zheng Shipang's expression became solemn, he was in the fog before, maybe he didn't understand, but now that he came back to his senses, he immediately noticed the treacherousness in it.
If people want to be corrupt, there must be a process, and it will not be destroyed so easily, and now it seems that the three of them are completely intent on doing so.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shipang's mind flashed, and a thought rushed into his mind, shouting: "That's right, Master Lu!"
"Lu Shikui, by the way, only the Lu clan needs to launder their property to prevent it from being confiscated by the lord. ”
Li Qiong replied in a deep voice, as if he had determined the truth of the matter.
Zheng Shipang clenched his fists and felt unacceptable: "So, the reason why Lu Shikui approached me was just to make it easier for him?"
At the beginning, he also invited that guy, but unfortunately he was rejected by the other party, although later he changed his mind, and even introduced three people to him, but now that he thinks about it, I am afraid that at that time, Lu Shikui has already laid a trap for him.
Now that I think about it carefully, Zheng Shipang also hates Lu Shikui to the core.
After all, the Lu clan has been entrenched in Xiangyang for many years, and the properties under it are innumerable, and I don't know how many people have been plundered. The reason why it is dormant now is just because of the fear of the power of the Huaxia Army. Li Qiong sneered.
Basically, all the officials in Xiangyang knew about this matter, and there was nothing to hide at all.
And the reason why Xiao Feng didn't take action against Lu Wenhuan was only because the other party had taken refuge in him after all.
If it is punished because of this matter, I am afraid that it will make those who are willing to take refuge worry and increase the resistance of the Huaxia army to occupy the Song Dynasty.
Zheng Shipang also suddenly realized, and opened his mouth to scold: "What a Lu Shikui, you dare to play with me like this! Don't you think I'm a soft egg? Since you did such a thing, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
Li Qiong also felt a little comfortable in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: "Fortunately, there is a target, otherwise I would be terrible!"
The other party is the son of Zheng Yuanlong, and the representative behind him is the Huaxia Army, he is just a small Zhizhou who has just been pushed up, and he is even weaker than Lu Wenhuan, who still has the support of thousands of soldiers.
If Zheng Shipang is allowed to hate himself, it will be bad for Li Qiong.
Now that the target has been locked, Zheng Shipang immediately took Li Qiong, Ma Ling and others to go towards Nalu Mansion together.
Along the way, naturally many people were surprised, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, and they talked about it.
"Hey, what's going on again?"
"I don't know. But isn't that person the current Zhizhou? Isn't he planning to attack the Lu Mansion?"
"Maybe. After all, before Li Qiong took office, he was not less suppressed by Lu Wenhuan. Now that he is the governor, of course he has to take revenge. ”
“......”
Just said a word, although it deviates from the facts, but what is said is not far from ten.
Before coming to Nalu Mansion, before Ma Ling stepped forward, Zheng Shipang rushed up with a brisk step, and the guards on both sides hurriedly avoided it.
"Bang!" The door was directly kicked open by Zheng Shipang.
"This guy is also short-tempered. Immediately after, Li Qiong looked at this scene and was also frightened.
If he had mishandled it before, he would have been treated like this.
"Hmph, you're still in the mood to stay here, but it's a pity that I was deceived by you. Looking at the person in front of him, Zheng Shipang couldn't help but feel angry, and opened his mouth to scold: "Let me ask you, what about Xiao Bo and the others, did you deliberately arrange it?"
"Yes!"
To everyone's surprise, Lu Shikui admitted it quite calmly.
Zheng Shipang was also angry, and scolded: "Okay! Very good! You admit it, but it's a pity that I was hurt by you." Don't say anything, wait until you're in prison and talk to others. I'm going to see what else you can say?"
Even if the culprit is found in this matter, Zheng Shipang will not be able to escape the reputation of not being strict under his rule, even if he looks at his father's magnanimity above, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future.
If it weren't for Zheng Shipang's military position and his lack of action, I am afraid that he would have already torn his face and fought with Zheng Shipang.
"I'm sorry. ”
In the face of Zheng Shipang's anger, Lu Shikui only had one sentence.
His expression was rather calm, and he seemed to have known that this was going to be the end.
"I knew this was the case, why did I have to do it in the first place?" Li Qiong sighed, only lamenting the impermanence of the world.
In the past, as the son of Chongguo Gong, Lu Shikui didn't know how majestic he was, but he could only shrink in the corner, watching such an official with official authority, standing on top of the city and giving orders.
Now, this man is standing in front of him, waiting to be taken down by himself.
It's an amazing feeling.
He walked up and said to Master Lu, "Young Master Lu, please come with me." Is that okay?"
"Of course!"
Lu Shikui raised his hand and let Na Ma Ling handcuff him, as if he had accepted all this.
Now that Zheng Shipang is here, it shows that this action was also approved by the top brass of the Huaxia Army, and no matter how he struggled, it was in vain, and even more so it would implicate others.
Regarding this matter, Lu Shikui is quite clear.
Just before leaving, Lu Shikui made a suggestion: "By the way, if you really want to escort me away, can you let me be decent, don't let others see it? After all, I am also the son of Chongguo Gong." If I let my father know that I am like this, I am afraid that I will be disappointed!"
"Yes. ”
Li Qiong nodded, and asked his subordinates to pull out the carriage that Lu Shikui usually used and let him sit inside.
With a veil to cover it, at least it won't be seen like the prisoner's cart.
"Then let's go. ”
With a wave of his hand, Li Qiong left with a group of his subordinates.
"Hmph, since you know that you are humiliated, then why did you do such a thing in the first place? I think you are a wreck at all, or die early and be born early, so as not to harm others. ”
As for Zheng Shipang, he was still scolding, obviously unwilling to do so, and still angry.
The rest of the people did not squeak, but only guarded the carriage with solemn expressions to prevent any accidents.
No matter how you say that Lu Shikui is also the son of Chongguo Gong, there is no guarantee that there will be a dead man who will show up and rob Lu Shikui.
In the distance, a ray of residual sun sprinkled the entire courtyard, adding a bit of gloomy scenery to this place.
Several petals were blown by the bleak autumn wind, and fell on the stone slab, and then they were crushed by the wheels, and they were no longer the beautiful appearance they had before, and they turned into dust together with the earth, and there was no trace of them.
