Phi-Fic Chapter 585 Fraud
Chapter 585 Fraud
Since he had already instructed Yun Gu, Long Feng was not worried that Yun Gu and Ge Yaqing would not be able to escape from Yangzhou.
After all, there are not many people in Yangzhou who can beat Yun Gu. No one from the Iron Hand Group will stop her, and Li Cunxi may not send anyone to stop her, so Yun Gu's departure is a foregone conclusion.
He also kept in mind what he said last night. It was not until the afternoon that he left the Sanqing Temple, went to the toilet, and then came back, mounted his horse and headed all the way to Yangzhou City.
It was getting dark when Long Feng finally arrived at Prince Ying's Mansion in Yangzhou City.
When the guards outside the door saw Long Feng, they hurriedly bowed.
The old man also noticed Long Feng's figure, and immediately went out to greet him and bowed deeply.
"I've met my lord."
Long Feng nodded and said, "I have something important to ask the Sect Master. Please take me in to see the Sect Master."
“Yes!” The old man did not dare to delay and took Long Feng into Prince Ying’s mansion.
Since joining the Iron Hand Group a few years ago, Long Feng has visited Prince Ying's Mansion countless times.
During the time he was in charge of the Iron Hand Group, he traveled around Prince Ying's Mansion again and again.
This is also his half home in Yangzhou, and he is about to destroy this half home with his own hands.
Soon, the two arrived at the second hall of Prince Ying's Mansion.
Yuan Qi, who was drinking tea, sat facing the door. When he raised his eyes, he saw Long Feng coming in with the old doorman.
"Long Feng is here, come in and sit down."
Yuan Qi smiled, pointed to a seat on the side, and motioned Long Feng to come in and sit down.
In Prince Ying's Mansion, Long Feng is one of the only three hall masters with special privileges, and Yuan Qi has a deep affection for him.
It's a pity that people with different ideals cannot work together.
Long Feng put aside the thoughts in his mind, strode in, bowed to Yuan Qi, and then sat directly below Yuan Qi.
"Make some tea and pour some water."
Yuan Qi turned to a servant, changed his expression, and spoke coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The servant responded and turned away.
"These little guys, if you don't tell them to, they just stand there and do nothing. They don't know the rules at all."
Yuan Qi complained and looked at Long Feng again.
"Didn't you say to proceed according to the original plan? Why did you come looking for me?"
A trace of worry suddenly appeared on his face, and he said:
"Last night, there was a huge change in the city. Wu Yanhao, Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, seized the governor's mansion, and Li Yuanfang, the inspector general of the Qianniu Guard, led the imperial guards to seize the defense of Yangzhou City."
"It was so swift and decisive, and everything changed overnight. I think it must be the work of Li Cunxi."
"Although there has been no news from the military camp outside the city, we can tell from the situation inside the city that the military camp has probably been occupied as well. I'm afraid Sun Zhongmou is in great danger."
"If Sun Zhongmou is captured alive, I'm afraid he has already betrayed me. Li Cunxi might send people to monitor my Prince Ying's mansion. It's extremely dangerous for you to come here."
It’s no wonder that Yuan Qi was worried. The huge changes last night had affected his mental state.
As the mastermind of the Han Canal boat capsizing case, the others were at most accomplices, and Sun Zhongmou was even more of a marginal figure among marginal figures, who only needed to take the money but not do the job.
The governor's mansion was occupied, and there was no way Wu Yanhao could get anything about him from Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng.
But Sun Zhongmou...
He is a spineless person, greedy for money, lustful and timid. He might be sold out.
"I didn't expect that in just one night, such a huge change has occurred in Yangzhou City. It's really shocking."
Long Feng sighed and thought to himself, this is not what he deserves.
If you are afraid of getting caught, just don't do this kind of thing.
Now all Li Cunxi needs is evidence that directly identifies Yuan Qi, so he can kill Yuan Qi directly, and that evidence must be obtained from Cui Liang.
Yuan Qi stroked his chin, his face full of worry.
"Before dawn, all officials working in the governor's mansion were taken to the governor's mansion by the imperial guards. We don't know what the situation is now."
Long Feng pretended to look unhappy and said:
"Master, in my opinion, I'm afraid we have to find a way to break the situation."
Yuan Qi nodded, his expression still grim.
"By the way, what do you want to see me for?" Yuan Qi suddenly asked.
"Master, Yun Gu took Ge Yaqing away." Long Feng said, "But she left behind the brothers of the Fifth Hall before she left."
"Gone?" Yuan Qi's face became even uglier.
After a while, he shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, forget it. After all, I sent you to kill her whole family. How can I expect her to stay and live and die with me?"
"It's better to go. It's understandable that I don't want to wade into the muddy waters of Yangzhou."
Yuan Qi was immediately relieved.
In the current situation, it doesn’t really matter whether Yun Gu is there or not.
A master will not have much impact on a situation of complete defeat.
If they will win, Yun Gu's coming will just be the icing on the cake. If they will lose, Yun Gu's coming will be in vain.
"The Sect Master is really open-minded."
Long Feng sighed.
"It's not about being open-minded, it's just about letting go."
"Long Feng, you will be in charge of the First and Fifth Halls from now on. You must comfort the brothers and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Our final battle is about to begin."
Yuan Qi tilted his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the scorching sun was also obscured by layers of dark clouds.
"understand!"
"Dark clouds are gathering over the city, and the dragon wind is blowing..."
……
Governor's Mansion.
Wu Yanhao sat in the position of governor and smiled coldly.
Dozens of people were kneeling on the ground in the main hall.
There was a thick list on the table next to him. Wu Yanhao picked up the one on the list and threw it directly to the ground.
Sima, who was in the lead, broke out in a sweat and didn't dare to look up.
"What's wrong, gentlemen?"
"At this point, what else do you have to say?"
"Your dear governor was tortured by a dozen strong men for a whole night. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out this list."
"I can chop off your heads, but I still want to give you a chance to atone for your sins."
"Of course, you can eat this paper directly and deny it at the cost of your entire family's lives. I will take out the original document, let you see it clearly, and then send you to death."
"Now, do you confess on your own initiative and get a chance to atone for your crime, or do you want me to torture you and then take you out and execute your entire clan?"
"Choose one for yourself."
Wu Yanhao fiddled with the fingernails of his right hand with his left hand, speaking in a flat tone, like a jerk who was indifferent to life.
Words like killing the entire family of nine generations are so easy to come up with and can be said casually.
Sima of Yangzhou felt his scalp tingling. He glanced at the copied confession on the ground and cursed Cui Liang's ancestors in his heart.
That bastard just sold them out. It's so fucking despicable!
We agreed to advance and retreat together, but this is how you guys fucking advance and retreat together?
"My patience is limited. I have left you alone for five or six hours just to give you time to think."
"Now, it's time to make a choice."
