When Zhang Mingzhi led the team back to the yamen and the crowd dispersed, no one at the scene noticed Wu Ci's figure.
Song Payun's original plan was to search for Wu Ci with all his might after dealing with Zhang Mingzhi, and to find him dead or alive. After all, this man was their agent who used to control the county magistrate, and he knew too much. If he couldn't be silenced, something would happen sooner or later.
"Second Young Master, I know you've sent people to look for me, but you never imagined I was actually in the county government office."
Song Payun said fiercely, "Indeed, it was just a matter of time. So, that night you decided to join Lord Zhang, right?"
"Of course not. Lord Zhang made it very clear at the time. If I want to survive, I must abandon the dark side and join the light side. Besides, I have seen the dungeons of your Songpa family before, and I really don't want to go in. There is nothing I can do about it."
"Well, you have plenty of time to catch up."
Zhang Mingzhi interrupted them and said, "Wu Ci has decided to testify against you, the Songpa family, as a tainted witness. I agree to this and have also promised to protect his name. Even as we speak, he is still listing your crimes and evidence in the back hall. But to be honest, I knew you were bad people, but I didn't know you were so bad. You listed a lot of crimes, and there are still many that are not yet completed. It is really eye-opening for me."
"So, Master Zhang is determined to fight to the death with the Songpa family?"
Songpayun's face was terribly gloomy.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood."
Zhang Mingzhi kindly explained, "Even if the fish dies, the net won't break. Honestly, you have no right to negotiate with me, nor do you have the right to make these threats."
Zhang Mingzhi returned to his seat, picked up another pickle and put it into his mouth. Sure enough, Song Wusao's pickles were more delicious.
"People from Sihai Trading Company will arrive today. With the strength of Sihai Trading Company, business in Beilan County will return to normal this afternoon. As for your shop, if you don't want to open it, then don't open it.
Your Songpa family's farm is indeed strong, but I don't have to attack it. County Magistrate Liu will set out in the afternoon and send troops to block the roads in and out of your farm.
Either you rush out and fight against the elite soldiers of Qinghe in the field, or you are trapped inside.
As for those tenants who refuse to cultivate their land, hehe. I will say that the assassins from the Songpa family came to the yamen to assassinate me, so the sealed land deeds in the yamen were accidentally burned by the assassins. Now I need to verify the land in the entire county. Those who can't produce the deeds are all official land. I can distribute this land to the tenants and give them new deeds. Then I don't believe they are still unwilling to cultivate the land.
"But my Songpa family has the land deed, we can take it out."
"Oh? If you want to come out, then go and have a field battle with County Magistrate Liu."
"You are going to kill the Songpa family!"
"Yes, that's the only correct thing you said today."
Zhang Mingzhi waved his hand and Wu Ci quickly retreated. Zhang Mingzhi looked at Song Payun sinisterly and walked step by step to Song Payun. Song Payun wanted to avoid him, but found that he had inadvertently retreated to the wall.
Zhang Mingzhi whispered:
"I forced the Songpa family to death, what does it have to do with you?
Don’t you know whether your last name is Songpa or not?”
"Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Mingzhi's nightmare-like voice came directly into Song Payun's ears:
"You haven't been valued by Songpaxiong these years, so many of the bad things you did weren't done by you. I've read the records, and you can barely survive, if I'm willing to let you go.
Oh, and I have another piece of news for you.
Didn't you do everything you could to send your groom, the tall, thin one? Didn't you send him to Jingdong? He's now raising horses for the Qinghe Cavalry. Don't you want to see him?
"How do you know?"
Songpayun's voice was obviously a little flustered.
Only his mother and he knew about this.
After his mother passed away, he should be the only one in the world who knew about it.
Can people from Qinghe tell fortunes?
Zhang Mingzhi didn't answer.
How would he know? What nonsense! Song Wusao is here, which means the Intelligence Department has mobilized agents from all over the country and has spread them all over Cambodia. There is nothing that cannot be investigated about some ethical issues in a small landlord's family.
"Honestly, I have a thousand ways to deal with the Songpa family. The reason I made it so complicated is simply to vent the anger of the people. Otherwise, how do you think your shabby village compares to Taijing City?"
After saying this, Zhang Mingzhi lost interest and ordered:
"Please give the second young master of the Songpa family some porridge. It's cold now. After he finishes drinking it, lock him up. When he figures it out, call me. Oh, we're moving quickly. If the second young master still hasn't figured it out before we finish our work, then he'll be locked up forever, locked up until he dies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Sanwa picked up the bowl and walked towards Song Payun step by step.
