Chapter 1181 I’m going to beat you to death today!
Jiang Lianzhu shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid the matter is not yet clear."
County Magistrate Huang was stunned.
"Why does Elder Xuan say that?"
"Because you just arrived, you didn't see that some people are not honest." Jiang Lianzhu said, walking up to Boss Hu.
"Boss Hu, I have a question. Can you tell me honestly?"
Boss Hu was startled and trembled for no reason.
"You, what do you want to ask?"
Jiang Lianzhu:
"Did someone really place an order with you for goods worth one thousand taels of silver?"
Boss Hu:
"Of course, it's true..."
Jiang Lianzhu:
"Where is that thing?"
Boss Hu:
"Well, since the Zhenyuan Escort Agency said they were short of manpower and couldn't guarantee it, I didn't bring it with me."
Jiang Lianzhu:
"I didn't bring it with me. With so much stuff, there has to be a place to put it, right? Where is it? This elder will personally help you deliver it to the customer, and I guarantee there won't be any delays!"
Boss Hu was not happy at all. Instead, his face turned pale and sweat appeared on his forehead. He said hesitantly:
"Um, um, the goods are inconvenient, um..."
"I'm afraid it's not that it's inconvenient, but that the goods simply don't exist!"
Jiang Lianzhu sneered and became more certain of her judgment.
He ignored him and walked up to Zhao Biaotou.
"Captain Zhao, do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhao Biaotou glanced at Boss Hu and said:
"Say, what..."
Jiang Lianzhu was a little angry.
"It seems that you are not honest either. Fine, fine, if I don't show some ability, you might think you can pull hair out of a tiger's mouth..."
Zhao Biaotou seemed to be suddenly awakened and said quickly:
"No, no, I'll tell you everything! In fact, I hired Boss Hu. I deliberately asked him to hire bodyguards from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. That batch of goods is completely fictitious.
Elder Xuan, County Magistrate, I plead guilty. I shouldn't have colluded with others to defraud the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. I hope you can forgive me this time for the sake of my family, especially my elders and children!
"Over the past two years, I've seen Zhenyuan Escort Agency's business booming, stealing some of my clients. I've become jealous, so I set up a trap. But I didn't intend to do anything to them, I just wanted to cheat them out of some money. My Lords, please understand!"
As he spoke, his tone became softer and softer, and finally turned into pleading.
Including County Magistrate Huang, everyone was surprised when they heard this.
After all this time, it turns out to be all groundless!
It's a pity these guys have been acting for so long, talking about losses and compensation.
Luo Laozhang, Xiao Zhuo and others scolded him bitterly.
It's so immoral!
After they had vented their anger, Jiang Lianzhu said:
"That's it? You're done?"
Zhao Biaotou was stunned and said:
"That's all. Elder Xuan, County Master, I plead guilty and accept the punishment, but I really can't afford such a large sum of money. I have elderly and young people at home. Please take a look at this fine..."
He wanted to drag County Magistrate Huang into this. In his opinion, County Magistrate Huang would definitely not ask for such a huge amount of money as Jiang Lianzhu, which was simply a threat to someone's life.
But Jiang Lianzhu said:
"Wait, I haven't finished asking."
Zhao Biaotou asked doubtfully:
"What else do you want to ask?"
Jiang Lianzhu:
"Again, are you done with your question?"
Zhao Biaotou:
"I've finished speaking, why are you asking again, Elder?"
"Because I don't trust you."
Jiang Lianzhu said, and took out a white pill.
"This is a truth serum pill. As the name suggests, after you take it, you will answer whatever I ask you, and all your answers will be the truth."
Zhao Biaotou was horrified and took a step back.
"I, I don't want to eat it! I'm not lying, I don't want to eat this..."
"That's not up to you!"
Jiang Lianzhu stepped forward, pressed his acupoint, pinched his throat, and then threw the pill into his mouth.
She was also worried that the pills would not be able to deal with this powerful warrior, so she pulled out a strand of his hair and twisted it with her fingers.
"confusion!"
With these two approaches, after just a moment, Zhao Biaotou's eyes became dull and lifeless.
It really works!
Jiang Lianzhu was secretly delighted and quickly asked the first question.
"Captain Zhao, you and Boss Hu pretended to have goods to insure and tried to extort money from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Was this your idea or Boss Hu's?"
Zhao Biaotou's eyes didn't move at all, but his mouth opened and closed involuntarily.
"Of course it was my idea! Ever since the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was founded, it's taken away a lot of my business! My Weiyang Escort Agency is getting worse and worse. If it continues like this, we'll be lucky enough not to disband. How else can we make money? The only solution now is, of course, to attack the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Who are they that's blocking my path to wealth?"
He spoke these words very naturally, but the onlookers felt a chill down their spines!
What kind of strange medicine did Elder Xuan take out?
When people eat it, it's like facing their own parents, and they tell the truth so easily. It's so scary!
There are even more people who are heartless. Although they are extremely surprised, they feel unusually excited. The effect of making people directly tell their secrets is simply to satisfy their curiosity.
"So you found Boss Hu to help you act, and then bribed Captain Wu, and you two teamed up to defraud the Zhenyuan Escort Agency of its money, is that right?"
Jiang Lianzhu asked again.
Although he had confessed before, to be on the safe side, she decided to confirm the matter again because she still had a question that she had not figured out.
Zhao Biaotou still didn't turn his head and said honestly:
"That's right."
Jiang Lianzhu looked at County Magistrate Huang, who nodded.
Then she asked:
"I'm very confused. If you were planning to blackmail someone, shouldn't you have come as soon as Chief Escort Luo set out? Why did you wait until today?"
This was her biggest puzzlement. She had been staying at Qingxiu Peak with Xiaodan for several days, and Mr. Zhao wasn't worried. Didn't Mr. Luo, the escort leader, already return?
Once he came back, the blackmail would naturally cease to work.
"Ho ho!"
Zhao Biaotou laughed twice strangely.
"Of course I decided to take action because I knew he wouldn't be coming back. Otherwise, even if I managed to swindle the money, wouldn't it still be a huge problem if Luo came back? Am I such a fool?"
Luo Laozhang behind him exclaimed, and Jiang Lianzhu quickly raised her hand to stop him from making trouble, and continued:
"How do you know he won't come back?"
Zhao Biaotou:
"Because of his escort mission, I knew where he was going, so I informed the bandits there in advance. Hehe! After all these days, none of those bandits have come to accuse me of misinforming them, nor have they asked me for money, so they must have succeeded! Hehe, Mr. Luo must be in trouble now. Now I can focus on dealing with the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
So that’s how it is!
Luo Laozhang roared, rushed forward and punched and kicked Zhao Biaotou.
"You bastard! How dare you collude with the bandits and kill my son! I'm going to beat you to death today! Beat you to death..."
