The house fell into silence.
No one expected that Fang Zheng would really kill as soon as he said it!
So straightforward, without any delay.
Before Fang Zhengyi loosened his hand, Master Lu struggled twice and died.
He pulled out his dagger and wiped it on his body, then looked at the other trembling hostages and said, "Continue the interrogation and tell me all the evil things the Lu family has done."
"First, kill two people who have committed crimes, and then throw a body out of the window every half an hour."
"Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be put to death!"
After saying that, he turned and left the South Tower.
Du Lingfeng stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.
He felt his throat tighten, and looked at Zhao Lie nervously, "Is your master going to kill me too?"
Zhao Lie smiled and said, "No, you have done a great job, maybe you will be rewarded!"
........
Fang Zhengyi frowned and ran out of the South Building in a hurry.
As soon as Wang Qian saw him, he immediately asked, "Master Fang, what's going on inside?"
Fang Zheng shook his head: "Master Lu is still safe, but there are not more than 20 thieves as you said!"
"I think there are only a dozen people... Maybe they didn't negotiate just to delay us and secretly send people to find the Lu family's treasury!"
Wang Qian suddenly understood after hearing this!
That makes sense! No wonder these people don't talk about anything.
Rich families like the Lu family would not feel comfortable leaving their silver in money houses and usually had their own silver vaults.
It turned out that they were targeting the treasury.
Wang Qian sneered, "These guys have such a big appetite. Do they think they can successfully escape after stealing the treasury? It's just wishful thinking!"
"By the way, why did Lord Fang and the others let you out so easily?"
"There is not enough food in the building. There is an internal conflict! They demand some food. If not, they will start killing people after a while."
"Master Wang, you must hold on at this moment and never give them to them!"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Fang, I know the seriousness of the matter. Thank you Lord Fang for taking the risk to negotiate with those villains today. You must be tired. I will send someone to escort you to find a place to rest."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "No! We must save people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. How can we give up halfway?"
"Where is the Lu family's treasury? I'll send someone to search it!"
"Master Fang, you are joking. How would I know where the Lu family's treasury is?"
Wang Qian felt like crying but had no tears. Why couldn't he get rid of this guy and he just stayed here?
He certainly didn't know about the Lu family's treasury.
His cooperation with the Lu family was very simple. The Lu family gave him money, and he helped to smooth out some relationships and handle some false cases.
That’s all!
How could he know such a family secret as the treasury?
Fang Zheng realized that he didn't know either, so he turned back to his team and found Bai Rui.
Bai Rui is a habitual thief, so it is most appropriate to entrust this kind of thing to him.
"Bai Rui, go and find where the Lu family's treasury is. This is a matter of great importance and we must do it as soon as possible!"
Bai Rui was a little nervous and whispered, "Master, this house is too big. I have never stolen such a big house before. I may not be able to find it for a while..."
"Why are you so cowardly? I'll send you a few more people! The silver vault in the mansion must be huge too. We can search for it openly on horseback. We don't have enough silver on hand. We need silver to do things. This matter is extremely important. We must find it today!"
Bai Rui nodded in agreement, then left with a group of people to look for the silver vault.
On Wang Qian's side, a man in a police uniform came up to him, pulled him to a deserted place, and whispered, "Master Wang, I just heard that Master Fang said he wanted to find the treasury. Do you think there was a rumor about the Lu family in the capital, so he sent someone here to check the accounts?"
"If there is an account book hidden in the treasury, and the Lu family has recorded something they shouldn't have, then we..."
Wang Qian was shocked: "Yu Hai, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that although the Lu family had problems before, it was still under your control. But now that outsiders have intervened, the situation has changed, and you should make plans early."
"What if there is the Lu family's account book in the treasury, and there are some things in it that are unfavorable to you... then we can just take Fang Zhengyi! Put the blame on the robbers for everything. As for the Lu family... of course they were destroyed by the robbers."
"The Lu family has been wiped out, the account books have been destroyed...there is no evidence left. Even if the higher-ups come to investigate, you can rest assured, Master."
Wang Qian sneered after hearing this: "Yu Hai, you have been following me for so many years and you haven't improved in other aspects, but your courage has improved a lot. You dare to kill the governor?"
"I dare not, I'm worried about your safety!" Yu Hai said aggrievedly.
Wang Qian sighed, "We should not act rashly. If they really find the vault, you can escort Lord Fang to the vault to check... and find the account book. If there is something in the account book that shouldn't be there, report it immediately. I will then test Fang Zhengyi's attitude."
Yu Hai retreated, and Wang Qian regained his calm expression and walked to Fang Zhengyi.
He extended his hand and said, "Master Fang, since you have decided to stay here, I will not say anything more."
"You must be tired after such a long time. I will order my servants to buy some wine and food. Let's take a rest in the pavilion over there."
"Good! Lord Wang is very thoughtful."
After waiting for a while, the wine and food were served, and the two began to clink glasses.
Fang Zheng raised his wine glass and said with emotion: "I didn't expect something like this to happen as soon as I entered the city today. It's a pity that I didn't have time to fully explore Haiyuan City."
"But just a quick look at the city when we entered it is enough to see the achievements of Lord Wang's governance."
