More than 200 people surrounded Fang Zhengyi and rushed to the South Tower, while the brothers from Taoyuan County stayed behind to guard the silver vault.
After all, these people from Haiyuan City are just hot-headed and bribed with money, so the relationship is not that solid.
As the group rushed back to the South Tower, Wang Qian had already been hesitating here for a long time, pacing back and forth while sighing.
Although Yu Hai followed Fang Zhengyi, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Over the years, the Lu family has given him many benefits... Not to mention the false and unjust cases, he has done a lot of immoral things by helping the Lu family to forcibly recruit civilians to work as salt workers.
If the Lu family really left behind evidence that shouldn't have been there, it would be a huge trouble.
Beheading is at least inevitable.
When it really comes to that extreme moment...the only option is to strike first!
Not far away, dots of torches began to appear in Wang Qian's sight. Soon, a large group of people formed a semicircle and surrounded Wang Qian.
Although he felt something was wrong, he didn't know what was wrong.
He stepped forward and said cautiously to Fang Zhengyi, "Master Fang, how is the investigation going? Is there really a silver vault inside?"
The flickering light from the torches around him shone on Fang Zheng's face, making him look mysterious.
Fang Zhengyi's calm voice rang out: "Yes, there is indeed a silver vault inside. In addition to silver, there are many valuable things hidden inside."
After saying that, he took out the account book from his arms and shook it in front of Wang Qian.
Wang Qian's heart suddenly tightened and his eyes could no longer leave the account book in Fang Zhengyi's hand.
He shouted loudly: "Yu Hai! Where is Yu Hai? Come out and see me!"
"Master Wang, please stop shouting. I have brought Yu Hai to you."
Fang Zheng raised his hand, and two soldiers came up from behind him, carrying a box and dropped it in front of Wang Qian.
When the box was opened, a bloody Yu Hai was revealed inside.
The color instantly drained from Wang Qian's face, revealing an expression of extreme fear!
The next second, he shouted without hesitation: "Someone come here! I have found out that Fang Zhengyi is the one who forged the imperial edict. Capture him now!"
Silence... total silence.
The soldiers surrounding him did not move, but just looked at him grimly, with only one thought in their minds.
Just as Lord Fang said, he was cornered and bit back!
Gao Fei raised his knife without hesitation and placed the blade directly on Wang Qian's neck. He shouted with excitement in his eyes, "Master Fang, I have captured him!"
Damn, you lackey, you’re so fast!
The four or five people beside Gao Fei cursed in their hearts, then stepped forward with their swords drawn to surround Wang Qian.
Wang Qian shouted in panic: "You are crazy! You are crazy! You dare to use force against me? This is rebellion! What are you doing? Go and capture Fang Zhengyi!"
"Brothers, you did a great job. Each of you will receive a reward of 2,000 taels. Some of you have not been to the treasury yet. Talk to them. Everyone has a chance. We are all brothers, so it is best not to have conflicts."
At this time, there were still a few soldiers outside who had never been to the silver vault. They nervously looked at the kidnapped Wang Qian with knives in their hands, completely unaware of what was happening.
It was not until Fang Zheng spoke that people began to walk up to them and explain in a low voice.
Gradually, some people began to put down their knives, looked at Wang Qian with their hands hanging down, and obviously gave up resisting.
Even if they resisted, what could they do? The other side clearly had more people than their own, and Lord Wang already had a knife at his neck!
If you don't resist, you can get money. Besides, what you do is a good thing...
Seeing that everyone had betrayed him, Wang Qian fell into complete panic.
He looked at Fang Zhengyi with a pleading look and shouted, "Master Fang, I have something to say, I have something to say!"
"I won't listen!"
"Fang thief!! You are rebelling, I #...\u0026@...!@..."
Wang Qian was obviously irritated and started to speak incoherently.
Fang Zhengyi didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and shouted to everyone: "Brothers! Wang Qian has surrendered, so I should make things clear today! The Lu family has committed all kinds of evil in Haiyuan City. The so-called robbers in Nanlou are actually spies sent by the court to investigate the Lu family!"
"You have captured Wang Qian today and you have become meritorious people of the court!"
"The rest of you brothers who haven't received the gold from the treasury, wait until today's matter is resolved and follow me to the treasury to get your due rewards!"
"Thank you, Lord Fang!" Another round of loud cheers
"Xie Xian, Zhou Tie! Bring your people down!"
On the south building, Zhou Tie had observed the unusual situation below through the window.
I was overjoyed when I heard Fang Zhengyi's shout!
He quickly ran to Xie Xian's bed, grabbed Xie Xian who was still sleeping soundly and shook him hard!
"Old Xie! Wake up! The master has settled the situation!"
Soon Xie Xian was awakened by the violent shaking, his heart pounding.
Sitting on the bed, just gasping for breath, it took a long time for him to react: "What happened?"
"The master has settled the situation! He is letting us go!"
Du Lingfeng, who was standing aside, opened his mouth wide, his mind going blank.
How is it possible... Fang Zhengyi has only been here for less than a day, and it's already been settled?
Is he a demon or does he know witchcraft? Could he even be able to deceive people?
"Um...Brother Xie, there must be something fishy going on here..." Du Lingfeng reminded in a low voice.
Xie Xian quickly walked to the window and saw that Wang Qian had a knife at his neck, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Brothers, let's go down and take Master Lu's body with us."
After a while, more than 20 people, along with several hostages, followed Master Lu's body out of the South Tower.
As soon as everyone got outside the building, they immediately felt relieved.
