Chapter 722 What if this umbrella of protection no longer exists after tonight?
No one in the building was left alive, and Wei Cheng fainted on the ground without saying a few words.
In the absence of any evidence, Sang Zhixia had the witnesses and evidence in his hands, and with just a few casual words he gained the absolute upper hand.
In this situation, if Yan Junruo dares to say that he can fully guarantee it, then he must be mentally ill.
But the Wei family is one of the three families in the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce.
If Sang Zhixia is allowed to escalate the situation, it will not only be the reputation of Weicheng that will be humiliated.
Yan Jun clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Then according to Master Sang's opinion, what should we do about today's incident?"
Sang Zhixia smiled good-naturedly: "Simple."
"I'm new to Nanyun, and I don't intend to make too many enemies. I just want justice for my family."
Sang Zhixia winked at Song Liu and said slowly, "Wake up Patriarch Wei."
"Once I find the mastermind and the person I'm looking for, I'll naturally not cause any more trouble."
Song Liu seemed to have been prepared. He picked up the bucket of water handed to him by someone behind him and poured it hard on Wei Cheng.
A terrifying scream rang out, and Song Liu bared his teeth and said, "Sorry, I accidentally took it and turned it into salt water."
"Master Wei, are you okay?"
Although Wei Cheng regained consciousness briefly, the excruciating pain, like being bitten by thousands of ants, spread throughout his body along the bleeding wounds, and he almost fainted again.
Chen Jing'an waved his fan and said slowly, "That won't do."
"If Patriarch Wei falls asleep again, who will we question?"
"Come on, help Master Wei take this energy-boosting pill, so as not to delay your master's business."
Ling Chu took the pill of unknown ingredients and pinched Wei Cheng's chin open.
Yan Jun was still about to stop Wei Cheng when he watched helplessly as he was forced to swallow what was in his mouth.
Yan Jun's eyes were red: "What did you eat?"
"It's just a little trick to cheer up Patriarch Wei. It won't kill him for now. Why is Chief Yan so nervous?"
Chen Jing'an had the carefree expression of a playboy, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, President Yan."
"I always carry the antidote with me. As long as I take it in time, there will be no problems."
If the antidote is taken too late, it will not be something Chen Jing'an should worry about.
His stern expression looked uglier than ever before.
Sang Zhixia smiled calmly, lowering her head slightly to look at Wei Cheng, who was curled up on the ground in pain and gasping for breath. "Master Wei."
"Why did you send someone to kidnap my people? Are you really not going to give me a reasonable explanation?"
Wei Cheng fainted too early and woke up too late.
Wei Cheng had no idea what exactly happened during the process.
Wei Cheng's mind was still in a daze. He suddenly heard Sang Zhixia's words. Coupled with the violent anger stimulated by the severe pain, he instinctively burst out with ferocity and blurted out, "Explain?"
"Who do you think you are to be told what to do?!"
Sang Zhixia laughed instead of getting angry: "So, the Wei family's move was really intentional?"
"I do whatever I want! No one can control me!"
"What's wrong with a few people? I've never been afraid to touch anyone I want to touch!"
"Weicheng, stop talking nonsense!"
"You little bitch..."
Bang!
The sound of Yan Jun's shout and Sang Yanyou's punch intertwined. Wei Cheng had just been helped up by the Wei family's guards and had not yet stood firmly when he was hit by a punch without any preparation. He was swayed and fell to the ground again.
Wei Cheng covered his face in disbelief: "You little bastard..."
In response, Xu Mingyang, unable to bear it any longer, gave Wei Cheng a heart-wrenching kick: "I think you're really looking for death!"
"Do you have the right to bark like a dog in front of my sister-in-law?"
Xu Mingyang turned his wrist sharply, and the blood-stained spear was coldly pressed against Wei Cheng's throat. He said coldly: "If you want to die, I will grant your wish now."
Being on the verge of life-and-death suffocation obviously made the man whose mind was burned by anger more sober.
Wei Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked around. He noticed Gui Sheng who lowered his head and said nothing, then looked at Yan Jun whose face was covered in bruises. The fierceness in his bones was disturbed by the fear that came with the realization, and he stared at Sang Zhixia with his eyes flickering.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you come to my Wei family and make such a scene today..."
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Sang Zhixia said lightly, "What you just said is enough for me."
Sang Zhixia slowly took a half step back under the stern, hesitant gaze and said in a chillingly calm tone, "How many secret gate towers does the Wei family have in Nanyun?"
Chen Jingan said with a forced smile, "Six locations, the exact locations have been identified."
"very good."
Sang Zhixia smiled lightly: "Go ahead, leave no one behind."
"You dare!"
Yan Jun said angrily: "This is Nanyun, not Lingnan! You want to touch the people of Nanxun Chamber of Commerce in Nanyun, you..."
"What can you do to me if I move?"
Sang Zhixia showed straightforward disdain on her face, and said subtly, "Council Leader Yan, do you really want to fight me to the death for the sake of the Wei family?"
If Yan Jun is willing to take such risks, that would be a good thing.
Anyway, the matter has already happened, so the more people involved, the better.
But can Yan Jun do it?
Sang Zhixia snorted sarcastically, then turned her head to Lin Yun and said, "All those rescued from these places should be gathered in one place. Remember to protect them well and don't let those who want to silence them get the chance. Also..."
"Immediately send a message to the Governor-General of Jiangnan, and send him copies of the evidence from the collected account books. After daybreak, go to the Nanyun Water Transport Office and beat the drum, saying that we have a grievance to seek redress and ask Lord Qian to seek justice."
Lin Yun lowered his head and agreed. He made a gesture and someone immediately went to do it.
Upon learning that Sang Zhixia's next two moves would fall on the Water Transport Bureau and the Jiangnan Governor's Office, Yan Jun, who was originally furious, suddenly calmed down a lot.
If Sang Zhixia wanted to seek justice from the government, she was completely wrong.
As long as we manage it properly, the Wei family incident won't cause any trouble.
Noticing the changes in these people's expressions, Sang Zhixia smiled meaningfully.
Collusion between officials and businessmen ensures safety?
The premise of safety is that the officials who act as umbrellas remain umbrellas.
What if this umbrella of protection no longer exists after tonight?
Sang Zhixia was in a good mood. She smiled at Yan Jun and said, "We've almost finished the work. We'll have to wait until dawn to deal with the rest. I won't stay here any longer. Where's Yan Huishou?"
Yan Jun looked at Sang Zhixia with a frosty expression, half-smiling as he said, "Master Sang is showing off his power today. Yan Mou has really learned something new."
"I just hope that by dawn, the Sang family will still be as powerful as before."
Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
“Although things don’t always go as planned, I always feel that more things depend on human effort.”
"If you've truly been honest and have a clear conscience, why would you be afraid?"
Sang Zhixia was very satisfied with the mess and waved at Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou as if she had just realized something: "Nonsense."
"Although Patriarch Wei is guilty of heinous crimes, the government hasn't issued the order to execute him yet. Why are you all making such a fuss?"
"Come on, follow me back."
Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou were like wild beasts baring their teeth to outsiders, but they turned obedient in seconds after hearing Sang Zhixia's words, and walked away with a simple and honest look on their faces.
Chen Jing'an curled his lips like a stink bug, threw a small porcelain bottle at Wei Cheng's feet, threw the word "antidote" and turned away.
When mulberry branches come in summer, they are very powerful, as if they will fight to the death.
But suddenly stopping didn't seem to mean that.
Yan Jun and his companions, as well as the people from the Wei family, stared in amazement as they watched Sang Zhixia's men disperse like a tide. In addition to being stunned, Gui Sheng couldn't help but feel frightened.
This whole process is probably just the beginning.
When Gui Sheng heard Yan Jun lowering his voice while discussing with Wei Cheng, his back was silently soaked with layers of cold sweat.
Wei Cheng couldn't hide his fierceness: "A few buildings will be destroyed, but I, Wei Cheng, can afford to lose that little bit of silver!"
"But today is a great humiliation. I..."
"Don't worry."
Yan Jun said solemnly, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"Since she wants to seek justice from the government, you can do the same."
"She committed arson and wantonly injuring people. If she wants to destroy the rest of the buildings, then let her do it. If we really judge her crimes by their severity, she will be the first one to be guillotined!"
"As for those secret doors and account books..."
Yan Jun sneered disdainfully: "Does she really think that sending it to the government office will be effective?"
"When daybreak comes, she'll really beat the drum and cry out for justice. She'll have a lot to suffer!"
The word "official" has two mouths, and the thing it does most is to confuse right and wrong.
Right or wrong?
In the final analysis, it is just a plaything in the hands of those in power. Who would take it seriously?
Yan Jun was indeed wary of Sang Zhixia's unfathomable background, but that didn't mean Sang Zhixia could beat his dog in front of everyone and step on his face at will.
Yan Jun brushed his sleeves and said gloomily, "It won't hurt her, but we must let her know who has the final say in this area."
"This girl is too naive to want to take a piece of the pie from you and me!"
