Chapter 196: Collusion
Li Yong looked at the captain and opened his mouth to tell the county magistrate that he was going to be killed. But before he could finish his words, the county magistrate ordered, "Captain, arrest him for me."
"Yes, sir!" The captain responded and immediately stepped forward to arrest the man.
The other party naturally would not surrender and started fighting with the captain. While fighting, he said, "Captain, I killed this bastard official to eliminate harm to the people. Are you sure you want to stand up for a bastard official who is colluding with bandits?"
"Li Yong, no matter what the reason is, no matter what kind of official the master is, we are only his subordinates and have no right to convict him. If the master is truly guilty, the court will naturally uphold justice."
After hearing this, Li Yong was completely confused. This police chief and the corrupt officials were in cahoots.
Therefore, he did not try to persuade them, but instead started a fight with the captain. However, he knew that he did not have much time left, and once the other constables arrived, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Therefore, after he exposed a flaw, he wanted to escape. Just as he was about to climb over the wall, a figure dropped from the sky, grabbed him directly, and quickly flew away.
The county magistrate was very angry when he saw Li Yong being rescued. He scolded the captain again and went to discuss countermeasures with someone.
Now he has to guard against not only Yue Fuli, but also the subordinates who just escaped.
Of course, what he was really worried about was not Li Yong, but the person who rescued Li Yong, who was obviously not an ordinary person.
He was afraid that Li Yong would tell the other party everything, which would be detrimental to him. But there was no point in worrying now, as he had no idea where the other party came from.
Now let’s think about how to deal with the Governor.
He believed that Yue Fuli would not keep the evidence for herself after obtaining it. She might have sent it to the capital city.
Yue Fuli was indeed doing as the county magistrate had expected, and was about to deliver the evidence to the governor's desk.
However, she did not rush to go, but planned to tell her younger brothers and sisters first before setting off.
Yue Fuli's delay happened to be found by Lou Chenfeng.
Looking at Lou Chenfeng who was blocking her way, Yue Fuli asked with a smile, "Mr. Lou, what are you talking about?"
"Miss Yue, I heard you have evidence that County Magistrate Zeng Tong is a traitor. I wonder if you could give it to me. I can assure you that Zeng Tong will not have a good ending and will receive the punishment he deserves. What do you think?"
"How did you know I had evidence?" Yue Fuli was puzzled. When she went to look for the county magistrate, there was no one else there.
No, there is one.
Thinking of this, Yue Fuli looked at Lou Chenfeng with a scrutinizing expression and asked tentatively, "Have you planted someone in the county government office?"
"That's not the case." Lou Chenfeng shook his head and explained, "I just saved someone that Zeng Tong wanted to kill, and I got the information from him."
"I see."
The man heard something he shouldn't have heard, so it was expected that he would be killed to silence him.
But Fu Li didn't expect that Lou Chenfeng would save that person by such a coincidence.
"I don't know what I just said, Miss Yue..." Lou Chenfeng looked at Yue Fuli and spoke again.
That evidence was quite useful to him, at least more useful than the one Yue Fuli had given him.
In fact, it was a coincidence that he saved Li Yong today. After he separated from Yue Fuli last time, he was investigating the collusion between officials and bandits, and then found out that it was the county magistrate Zeng Tong.
