Chapter 179 Japan
When the Fan couple heard their daughter's words, they were filled with anger. This Master Pei Shun was planning too much. Since he was deliberately trying to gain a foothold in Qizhou County, don't blame them for being rude!
Pei Shun, who was well-fed and well-drinking, had no idea that his dream had been shattered, and he had even provoked a powerful enemy.
——————
The yamen started the investigation with Huang Zhubu and actually found out a lot of things.
Not to mention how much silver and jewelry were found in Huang Zhubo's home, there were even correspondence between him and the person behind the scenes.
Abusing power for personal gain, selling secrets...these are enough to convict Huang Zhubu.
Pei Yian used Huang Zhubu as bait to lure out the person behind the scenes.
The plan went smoothly, and not many people knew about the changes in the yamen. Everything was normal. The person behind the scenes couldn't help but contact Huang Zhubo to see if he could get any information from him.
This was exactly what Pei Yian wanted. He used Huang Zhubu as bait, unraveled the mystery, and finally found the base camp of these people in the suburbs.
The man behind the scenes originally thought that he would escape unscathed as usual. However, this time, he was met with the arrest of the people from the county government.
He wanted to escape, but found that he was surrounded. Anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but when he thought about their hegemony, he knew that they must not let it be destroyed in his hands.
He made up his mind and thought of the poison on his body, planning to commit suicide by taking it. No one could get any information out of him, and he would be loyal forever!
Pei Yian saw through the other party's determination to commit suicide at a glance. He had not yet pried any information out of this person's mouth, and he had no intention of letting this person die.
The man's movements were noticed, his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was removed, and he could not move at all, and he couldn't even ask for death.
Pei Yian also knew that ordinary torture would not work when facing such a person who was determined to die, so he directly used his original trick and took out the Huajunzi Pills that they had developed themselves.
What they developed is a good way to deal with these people, isn't it?
"I know you guys are always tough on your words, but I think you must want to try what this tastes like. These are all developed with your hard work." Pei Yian said as he was about to stuff the Flowering Gentleman Pills into the man's mouth.
The man, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly became panicked after seeing the pill.
He tightly shut his mouth, not wanting to get even a little bit of the so-called Flower Gentleman Pill on his lips. He knew firsthand how crazy the other person would become once they got addicted, neither human nor ghost...
He would rather commit suicide by taking poison than suffer these tortures. If he was really addicted, I'm afraid he would cry and tell these people what he knew.
The man did not hesitate for too long. Under the threat and pressure of Hua Junzi's death, he finally opened his mouth and confessed the so-called truth.
It turned out that they were Japanese people from nearby and had been coveting the land of Huizhou City for a long time, and Qizhou County was their primary target.
After hearing that the country of Fuso was destroyed due to people's addiction to the flower gentleman, they wanted to develop the so-called flower gentleman pill.
If the Huajunzi Pills were given to all the people in Qizhou County and they took them, they would become addicted and the Japanese would be able to easily take over Qizhou County.
If we take over Qizhou County, how far away will Huizhou City be?
Is it possible for them to take over the land of this country?
However, they have not yet developed the Huajunzi Pill and it is still in the experimental stage.
In order to feel the effect directly, they had to use living people for experiments, so they targeted refugees. These people had no household registration, and no one would care even if they died. However, the Huajunzi Pills were either too powerful and caused people to die suddenly after taking them, or they would become addicted after a day or two and die suddenly.
These are not the effects they want. What they want is to make those people crazy addicted and work for them. After becoming addicted, they can only obey their orders and do things for the sake of this so-called playboy.
Zhou Yayi and the county magistrate had never expected that Japan was involved in this. Both of them were filled with shock and disbelief.
This matter involved too many things. As a county magistrate, he could not take care of so many things. He could only write these things in a letter and send it to the governor of Huizhou City overnight.
Since this was a matter of great importance to the country, the governor of Huizhou City did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He sent people to conduct a thorough investigation and found that it was indeed the case.
Fortunately, all the Japanese spies in Qizhou were wiped out at once, and no major trouble occurred.
The remaining Japanese were all arrested and thrown into prison to await their fate.
Qizhou County discovered the Japanese conspiracy in time and dealt with it promptly, which was a great achievement. The prefect of Huizhou City would naturally not treat them unfairly.
Especially Pei Yian, it was he who discovered and captured him, and it was because of him that he achieved such success. The prefect wanted to reward such a young and promising person.
But Pei Yian didn't take credit for it. He refused the rewards. The county magistrate and the yamen runner Zhou couldn't understand his behavior and advised him, "Master Pei, this is a good opportunity. You've made an impression in front of the prefect. Who knows, your future may be bright!"
Pei Yian still shook his head. "How can this be all my credit? It's clearly the work of the County Magistrate and Mr. Zhou. Without you two, my plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch these Japanese."
Pei Yian did not take the credit for himself, but attributed it all to the county magistrate and Zhou the yamen runner.
The prefect gave a lot of rewards, and the county magistrate also felt that he was valued by the prefect. Looking at the envious eyes of other colleagues, he was so proud that his tail was lifted up in the sky.
After thinking about Pei Yian's intelligence and wisdom, he even wanted to hire someone to be his staff. He was afraid that he and Qizhou County would become more powerful in the future.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this way. After returning, the county magistrate hurriedly found someone and told him his thoughts.
Pei Yian shook his head and refused, "County Magistrate, I'm really sorry, I'll be away for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to be your staff member. I'll take a look when I have the chance in the future."
"It's okay. If you have important matters, go ahead and do them. I'm fine here." Although the county magistrate felt a little sorry, he said with understanding.
"Thank you, County Master!" Pei Yian expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"These are all trivial matters. You have helped me so much, I should be the one thanking you! Mr. Pei, if you need any help, just ask!" The county magistrate appreciated Pei Yian more and more, so he was naturally generous.
"I'm afraid I'll need you to look after my wife and family while I'm out on business."
This way he could leave with peace of mind. The county magistrate was the most powerful in Qizhou County. With his and Zhou Yayi's support, it was equivalent to the support of the entire county government. He didn't have to worry about anyone daring to go to Baiwei Restaurant and bully Sui Niang and the others.
