Chapter 287: False Accusations
People came one after another and tried to go to the prison to see him more than once, but the prison refused to allow them to see him.
There were a few people who were good at hiding. They went to check at night and found that Mr. Shen was still in the prison, and he whistled back to indicate that he was safe.
At this time, the Censor Tian was like an ant on hot pan.
He did accept the money from Tang Nan.
He loves money, but he is not stupid. How could he dare to provoke Chaotianmen, no matter how prestigious it is! He is afraid that he will have no life to spend the money! ! But at this time, the higher-ups leaked the news, asking him to pretend to detain Shen Shouyan, and then make a scene to accuse them of a crime.
Originally, for him, it was just a matter of a few soldiers dying, which was the best of both worlds, so he accepted Tang Nan's money with a clear conscience and sent someone over...
In order to make the play more complete, he did not tell the truth to these soldiers.
He never expected that Shen Shouyan did not resist and actually followed the little soldier back! By the time he knew about it, he was already in jail!
This is really a difficult situation! He quickly sent someone to report the news, but the superiors told him to detain the man and not let him go, so as to attract these people to break into the prison! Then there could still be a conflict.
Mr. Tian was almost dying of anxiety. He was afraid that these lawless gangsters would kill him when they came to rob the prison! These days, he didn't even dare to go back to the Censorate or go home. He hid everywhere. Unexpectedly, gangsters came one after another, but no one came to rob the prison! He was worried about them coming, and worried about them not coming. It was really tormenting. After waiting for two days, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked someone to report the news.
Then the boss became irritable and said directly: "If they don't rob you, can't you find a few people to rob you?!"
Mr. Tian was enlightened.
He was so shocked by Chaotianmen's notoriety that he didn't even think of such a simple thing.
In fact, it was very simple. The superiors wanted to accuse Chaotianmen of a crime such as treason, and then send people to kill them with a legitimate reason.
As long as we understand the purpose, won’t things be simple?
If they really don't come, won't he find a few people to pretend to break into the prison and then put the blame on them? !
It's so stupid, so stupid!!
He was greatly encouraged and hurried out to give orders.
He didn't know that just as he walked through the corridor, a dark shadow appeared on the pillar, circling and flashing like a coiled dragon. A very tiny light flashed and hooked the small paper ball out of his sleeve pocket. Lord Tian was completely unaware of it.
He found his confidant and gave him instructions, and the confidant found someone else, who temporarily entered a yard, disguised himself, and waited for the midnight to make his move...
Suddenly, there were several more figures outside.
Then, the fake gangster who was completely unprepared and had weak fighting ability was surrounded by the real gangsters. He was dragged away before he could even see who they were.
This Lord Tian is indeed naive. He clearly knows how powerful they are and has captured their people, but he still dares to do so many tricks... Do they really think they are dead? Could they be so confident in them that they would not send people to investigate?
A group of real gangsters returned to Chaotianmen, and they were all furious.
Someone said: "Fortunately! Fortunately, Brother Shen did not take action at that time, otherwise he would have fallen into their trap!!"
"But why did they do this?! Why did they insist on accusing Chaotianmen of a crime?! What on earth do they want to do?!"
Someone, supported by others, slowly walked out of the inner room.
He was about twenty years old, with a pale face, drooping eyes, long eyelashes, gentle eyes, and a very gentle appearance.
This is Zhong Limin, the deputy leader of Chaotianmen. Although he is young, he is a very smart and cautious person. He has been in charge of Chaotianmen’s affairs for many years.
Because he was usually a good guy with no temper, Tang Nan never thought that he was such a stubborn person. Even after being poisoned by such a painful poison, he still insisted on coming out and exposing him.
Many people stood up and saluted: "Master Zhongli."
"Brother Zhongli!"
Zhong Limin reluctantly bowed, and as he sat down in the chair, he whispered, "There is a possibility that someone is coveting Chaotianmen's wealth, but it is unlikely. After all, if Chaotianmen collapses with this method, what wealth will they have? There is also a possibility that... could it be that the court is looking for an excuse to take action against the martial arts world?"
More than one person was shocked and said, "Zhongli, what do you mean by that?"
Zhong Limin said softly: "I am just guessing. Otherwise, if they are not after money, why would they stir up a conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts world?"
Someone angrily asked, "What has the Jianghu got in the way of these officials?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Zhong Limin said in a low voice: "Now that the border is safe and the people are prosperous, it's time to deal with us lawless people... Let's not talk about anything else. Just tell me, have you killed anyone? Have you paid for your life?"
Someone said: "All those I killed with my sword were guilty!"
Zhong Limin's forehead was slightly sweaty. He shook his head but had no energy to argue.
"Brother Liu, please calm down!" Guo Dong said, "Zhongli's point is that the court wants the prince to be punished the same as the common people when he breaks the law, not for the Jianghu people to be outside the law. Once they say that the people were killed by Jianghu people, the government will not care."
"So what!" Someone said, "The entrance to the government building faces south. If you have a reason but no money, don't come in! If we don't seek justice ourselves, who will give us justice?"
But some people figured it out and said, "That's true. Last time, Brother Deng and I passed by a place and saw a county magistrate trying a case. The villager said that my brother-in-law was a gangster, and then the county magistrate let him go... At that time, a little brother said that the county magistrate was tactful, but Brother Deng said that it was not a good thing for a county magistrate to try a case, regardless of right or wrong, but to take into account whether it was an ordinary citizen or a gangster. A tall tree attracts the wind! ”
Someone asked: "What should we do now?"
"Wait a minute," Zhong Limin said with all her might, "Let's wait for Lord Bo's people to arrive first."
Someone asked, "When can they come? It's been more than four days!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a whistle from outside.
Yan Liu, who was like an invisible man, stood up quickly and went out to greet them. After a while, a group of people came in, exhausted.
Everyone stood up. Xinbao was held by Madam Lin. She was shocked to see so many men holding knives and swords. Fortunately, she saw Huo Yuntao the next time. She asked anxiously, "Brother Yuntao, where is uncle? Where is uncle?"
"Oh, little ancestor," Huo Yuntao was also startled: "Why are you here too!"
He stepped forward and took Tuanzi in his hands. Madam Lin explained, "Xinbao was very worried and kept asking to come. She didn't cry at all along the way because she was afraid of delaying Uncle Shen from saving her."
