After killing the man, the Sixth Master's depression subsided a little. He did not look at the corpse on the ground again, but just calmly ordered:
"You guys go back home first, I still have important matters to attend to!"
In his mind, these people would be sentenced to death tomorrow at the latest. It would be enough to kill the one who annoyed him the most, and there was no need to waste energy on entangled with them.
He needs to race against time to find a place to stay.
Seeing Sixth Master quickly disappear into the darkness, even the remaining people, no matter how dumb they were, realized that something was wrong.
It seemed as if something extremely dangerous was approaching.
The Sixth Master asked them to return to the Zhou Mansion, but now, no one wants to go back to that luxurious and extravagant home.
As soon as the hour of You passed, people began to come out one after another at the door of Fuluguo Chong's residence.
The people guarding various positions kept a close eye on the situation, fearing that someone they should catch would escape.
Soon, County Magistrate Wei Hongling walked out of the gate with light steps.
The sedan chair had been waiting at the door for a long time. After Wei Hongling shakily lifted the curtain and got in and sat firmly, the sedan chair bearers dared to lift the sedan chair and walk towards Wei's mansion.
Little did he know that the road was already paved with a net of heaven and earth, waiting for him to fall into it.
——"Who is it?"
The servant leading the way with a lantern in his hand saw, in the dim light, a dozen people in black clothes and robes standing guard in the middle of the road.
I didn't dare to shout for a moment.
Wei Hongling was already fast asleep in the sedan chair, and the sedan bearers could even hear his slight snoring.
The man who blocked the road had a cold and hard expression on his face. He didn't say anything extra. He just waved his hand, and the sedan was surrounded tightly in an instant.
The sedan chair bearers and servants had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling with fear.
"Who are you? Do you know who is sitting in this sedan chair? It's our county magistrate!"
"The one we caught is the county magistrate!"
…
Except for capturing the garrison commander, which took some effort, capturing the rest of the people went particularly smoothly.
There are usually only about a hundred soldiers stationed in the county town here, and their duty is just to maintain order around the county town.
However, when the construction of the port began, the imperial court sent an army of 3,000 people to garrison the port.
The commander-in-chief was named Guo Luoluo Heshun, and was born in the Bordered Blue Banner.
Compared with the county magistrate and others, Heshun's sense of danger is much sharper.
However, no matter how sharp he was, he was no match for the dozens of clear-headed elite guards.
He was eventually captured.
When Zhan Ming's five thousand troops surrounded the county town, Yinreng also successfully arrived at Fuluguo Chong's residence.
Central hall.
Yinreng sat high up in the seat, leisurely surveying the furnishings in the room.
Until the guards dragged Forguo Chong in front of him like a dead dog.
Yinreng looked at him without hesitation and even greeted him in a good mood.
"Master Zhaojia, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."
When Fuluguo Chong was dragged out, he still had illusions in his heart, but after seeing Yinreng, his heart was completely broken.
He got up from the ground, straightened his pajamas, and made himself look more relaxed.
"Didn't the Crown Prince accept the mission and go to Sanjin?"
"There's no rush for the Three Jins mission. If we don't get rid of this cancer here, I won't be able to eat. So I'm staying here for a few more days."
Folguo Chong smiled, not caring at all.
"It is my honor to fall into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yinreng did not like his calm and composed face, so he hit the pain point directly.
"I hope that when you see your descendants in the afterlife, you will kneel down and thank me for the honor I have bestowed upon you."
Upon hearing this, Forguo Chong's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have that ability yet!"
He just embezzled some money, which is not a serious crime.
Yinreng sneered,
"At this point, do you really think you've only committed the crime of corruption and bribery? Have you ever wondered where all those people imprisoned by Wei Hongling ended up?"
“Could it be…”
Fuerguo Chong also guessed something, and his expression suddenly became uncertain.
"Tell me, who is the person behind you?"
Fuerguo Chong raised his head, snorted coldly, and did not respond.
Yinreng rolled his eyes and was about to provoke him again when a man hurried in from the door. It turned out to be Dou Guangren.
"I greet your Highness."
There was no sign of relief on Dou Guangren's face, and Yinreng couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
"What's wrong?"
"Liu Qingzhou, the leader of the White Lotus branch that has been operating here for many years, has escaped!"
“Run away?!”
Yinreng's voice suddenly rose several degrees.
Everyone present was so shocked that their faces turned pale.
Fuerguo Chong's face looked ashen.
It turned out to be the White Lotus Sect.
If the emperor knew about it, he would be in big trouble no matter how powerful his backing was.
"The city gates have been sealed since last night, and not even a fly has escaped. And you told me he ran away? If he ran away, wouldn't you go look for him? Go and search. If you can't find him, I'll chop off your head and send it up as Liu Qingzhou's!"
When Dou Guangren heard this, he was so scared that he turned around and left.
Yinreng took a few breaths in the back, and his eyes fell on Fuerguo Chong again.
"Put him in jail. I don't want to see him now!"
Fuerguo Chong thought Yinreng would ask him a few more questions, but he didn't expect that he would be thrown into prison. He shuddered violently and heard a loud cry.
"Your Highness, don't you want to know who this servant's backer is?"
He had been immersed in the court for many years and had always avoided the prince.
It was just that he had seen that the prince had turned his back on him many times, and he was afraid that when he reached out to take the money, the prince would catch him and his future would be ruined.
But the situation today is not as simple as a complete ruin of the future.
If he loses the chance to confess today, he might face the execution of his entire family.
Yinreng smiled slightly.
"Are you scared now? What were you doing before?"
If someone said that Fuluguo Chong had any connection with the White Lotus Sect, Yinreng would not believe it.
After all, Bai Lian was under the banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming", but Fuluguo Chong was born into a legitimate banner family.
If the Qing Dynasty had fallen, he would not have had a good ending.
But he only knows how to make money with his eyes closed.
If he had opened his eyes and taken a closer look to see who had given him the silver, he would not have ended up on this path of death.
Yinreng had no patience for a dying man, and after mocking him twice, he showed no interest in pointing out the person behind the scenes.
He just waved his hand and asked someone to drag him away.
Fuerguo Chong didn't expect that Yinreng really didn't care about the person standing behind him, and he struggled instantly.
"My Lord, you really don't want to..."
"Shut his mouth!"
The next second, the world finally became quiet.
