Xiao Luomu was completely bewildered at this moment!
I wondered if Wang Yuluan had anticipated my arrival, so he pretended to want his brother dead while simultaneously arranging for someone to kill me.
That's so cunning!
But I... am not Zhao Cheng!
If it wasn't arranged by Wang Xiandi, why would these people say they were coerced by Wang Yuluan?
Could there be another Wang Yuluan?
No, no, these people all said it was General Wang's youngest son, Wang Yuluan!
If Wang Yuluan is the mastermind behind this, then who is my good brother Wang?
Xiao Luomu's thoughts became increasingly tangled, and he suddenly felt his brain couldn't keep up.
In the end, it was all my own fault for being a fool!
As long as you don't impersonate Zhao Cheng, nothing will happen!
Upon hearing the name Wang Yuluan, not only was Xiao Luomu stunned, but Inspector Chai Xin's mind was also buzzing.
Wang Ren is going to war tomorrow, but his son has committed murder. What should be done?
Leaving it unchecked would be unfair and would be impossible to explain to Zhao Cheng and Xiao Luomu.
But if I interfere and it affects Wang Ren's important Northern Expedition, how many heads will I lose?
Chai Xin silently turned his head toward the screen, clearly pleading for help.
The way things developed was actually beyond Zhao Cheng's expectations.
Zhao Cheng's initial plan was the simplest: if Wang Yuluan dared to make a move, he would eliminate him by the river. Wang Ren would continue his campaigns, and once the news of his son's death reached him, the Left Chancellor and the Emperor would surely find a way to appease him so as not to disrupt his plans.
Later, Xiao Luomu suddenly intervened, and Zhao Cheng thought of using someone else to kill Wang Yuluan at the hands of Xiao Luomu's men.
However, Wang Yuluan's tenacious fighting ability exceeded Zhao Cheng's expectations. Even with Zhao Wu's sabotage, Wang Yuluan was only injured and not seriously wounded.
Later, when he tried to escape, Zhao Cheng couldn't very well let Yang Taozhi kill him again. The best course of action would have been to kill Xiao Luomu and his entire group as well.
Zhao Cheng felt it wasn't worth it for a mere Wang Yuluan.
So they let Yang Taozhi scare the mother and child, and the inspection team just went through the motions, and that was the end of it.
But I never expected this!
The people Wang Yuluan brought are so spineless! They've already implicated Wang Yuluan before they've even been tortured!
Not just Xiao Luomu,
Zhao Cheng, Chai Xin, and Deng Fugui were all dumbfounded.
These idiots aren't following the script!
"All of you, behave yourselves and stop whispering!" Chai Xin shouted, unable to bear it any longer, and ran behind the screen.
He grabbed Zhao Cheng with his left hand and Deng Fugui with his right, crying out, "Young Prime Minister, Lord Deng, you two gentlemen can't abandon me! I have a shrewish wife in her sixties and a beautiful concubine who's only eighteen. I can't just die like this..."
"Stop crying and crying!" Deng Fugui blew on his beard, rubbed the mole on his nose, and shouted, "Can't you see that the young prime minister and I are trying to figure something out?!"
Chai Xin practically knelt before Zhao Cheng, pleading, "Young Prime Minister, this is a tricky matter!"
"Okay, okay, calm down." Zhao Cheng put one foot on the chair, his mind racing, and snapped his fingers, "Got it!"
Chai Xin and Deng Fugui quickly leaned closer to listen.
"Get out of here, you two reek of filth!"
Zhao Cheng cursed loudly, then said, "Lord Chai, if you want to resolve this matter, you'll have to work hard and become a corrupt official."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work! I'm always greedy..." Chai Xin blurted out the truth, then quickly corrected himself, "Working from dawn till dusk, yes, I work from dawn till dusk!"
Zhao Cheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go contact Xue Yun and tell her that Wang Yuluan's people have been handed over to you. The matter is very serious, but you've detained them. You can do her a favor and get rid of these people."
"From now on, you and Wang Yuluan will keep quiet about this matter and never mention it again, but it will cost some money."
Chai Xin was stunned and said, "They're even taking the opportunity to extort money from them??"
"Otherwise, do you want to sleep with the general's wife?" Zhao Cheng asked.
"I hate greasy food!!" Chai Xin immediately straightened his back.
“We absolutely have to collect the money, otherwise Xue Yun will feel it’s reasonable. Besides, several people died on Xiao Luomu’s side. If you don’t compensate them, how can he get away with it?”
Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "They are wealthy young men from Qingdong City, their families are big merchants!! They came to Yanchuan to investigate business, and might even invest in Yanchuan and boost our economy! But now, half of them are dead before they even entered the city!"
"Is this the kind of public order we have in Yanchuan? Is there no law? Is there no justice?!"
"Lord Chai, you bear a great responsibility!"
Chai Xin lowered his head and secretly exchanged a glance with Deng Fugui.
Who can be blamed for Xiao Luomu's death?
Isn't it all your fault?!
“I know what to do.” A murderous glint flashed in Chai Xin’s eyes as he asked, “Then these people…”
As he spoke, he wiped it across his neck.
"If you kill too many innocent people, be careful your son won't be born without an anus!"
Zhao Cheng glared at Chai Xin and said, "We can't do all of this ourselves. Let Xiao Luomu contribute as well!"
When Chai Xin re-entered the lobby, his expression turned fierce, and his entire aura changed.
He ordered his men to be taken away, then slammed his gavel down and roared, "Xiao Luomu! Do you know your crime?"
Xiao Luomu remained unfazed and calmly replied, "My lord, I came to Yanchuan to investigate business. I don't know any of those who want to kill me. They're armed with knives and have already come to my doorstep. I can't just let them harm me, can I?"
