Dong Weimin almost vomited blood. This was too much. His face flushed red and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's my order. Go ahead and do it. Even if you die, do it quickly and disperse!"
After being coaxed and deceived by Song Chi and brought here, he knew that he was finished. How long he could live in the future depended entirely on luck, so he just gave up.
"This is the responsibility of the County Magistrate!"
Song Chi approached him and whispered, "This is the Yongsheng Gang's headquarters. Most of their account books and expenses are stored here. We're sure to gain something from coming here. As long as we have evidence, they will be the ones who need to be cautious."
"The Han family has deep roots. If you want to move the Han family, it's like a gnat trying to shake a tree..." Dong Weimin said in a low voice, "And if something really happens to the Han family, I will definitely be involved."
"You're different. You've turned back from your mistakes and are making meritorious contributions... If you want your crime to be less severe, it depends on how far you can go. Maybe you're the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Han family."
Dong Weimin's expression was complicated. "What benefits did Magistrate Feng give you to make you work so hard for him? You're playing with fire, you know? You're just a small case leader, you don't know the situation in the court. The reason the Han family is so prosperous is because of the Prime Minister behind it."
He paused, "The Prime Minister is now the head of the civil officials. He is also the Prince's Grand Tutor. When the prince ascends the throne, he will be the imperial teacher and will still have the same power as he does now. You still want to deal with the Han family. You are really courting death!"
Song Chi said calmly, "Perhaps in a few years, the Great Zhou may not even exist, let alone him as the Prime Minister."
Dong Weimin was horrified. "How dare you say such outrageous words?"
"Am I wrong?"
Song Chi asked in return, "You've been the magistrate of Ji County for eight years. You should know what the people have been like over the years. Ji County is a wealthy place, but it's showing signs of poverty. What about those already poor places?"
Dong Weimin fell silent. After a moment, he asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to overthrow Song Shiwen and become the Prime Minister myself." This sentence made Dong Weimin stand there in a daze. He could tell that Song Chi was not joking.
Luo Yurou, who was watching the show next to Song Chi, also looked surprised and suspicious.
How could a person of humble origin, who in her opinion had no status at all, dare to say such a thing?
Song Chi had no time to chat with Dong Weimin. The battle was going on fiercely. Sifang Teahouse was worthy of being the headquarters of the Yongsheng Gang. There were many people there, but Song Chi was well prepared. They suffered a great loss. At this moment, most of them had fallen to the ground and were wailing.
"Go up!"
The first floor had been taken, and Su Dahai was about to lead his men to rush up, when Bai Fangwen brought his men down.
"Stop it!"
Seeing this messy scene, his face turned extremely ugly and he immediately shouted loudly.
"Who the hell are you?" Su Dahai was so angry that his eyes turned red. Song Chi then realized that Erlang inherited his father's genes, but his uncle was sealed before, but now the seal has been released. With his skills, he would definitely not be able to fight on the battlefield, but he is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
"Who gave you the courage to come here and cause trouble? Do you know where this is?" Bai Fangwen tried his best to suppress his anger. One could even see his face trembling. This was a manifestation of extreme anger. He had never suffered such a loss since the establishment of the Yongsheng Gang.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dahai swung his palm and slapped him, cursing angrily, "Fuck you, don't you recognize the police uniform I'm wearing?"
Bai Fangwen was originally Han Yuanzheng's servant. How could he withstand such a slap and was knocked to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the six hall masters who came down with Bai Fangwen also became furious and started fighting immediately. The two groups of people fought again.
Dong Weimin turned his head away and couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"As true as the nephew is, so is the uncle. The person he just beat up was the new leader of the Yongsheng Gang."
"It turned out to be the gang leader. I was so scared. I thought he was hitting the emperor." Song Chi stroked his chest lightly, looking relieved.
"You..." Dong Weimin was speechless.
"puff."
Luo Yurou, who was standing next to him, laughed out loud. She thought Song Chi was so funny.
After a brutal beating without any explanation, the six hall masters were left with bruises and swollen faces, and Bai Fangwen even curled up with his hands covering his head and dared not move.
"Stop."
Song Chi came over, and everyone stopped. Bai Fangwen was able to catch his breath. He looked up and saw Song Chi's expression of surprise. "Aren't you... dead?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Song Chi said calmly, "You can only blame Zhang Wu for his incompetence. Not only did he fail to kill me, but he also lost his own life."
This was not the first time he met Bai Fangwen. The last time he attended the banquet alone, Bai Fangwen was there, sitting next to Zhang Wu.
Bai Fangwen suppressed his inner shock and doubts and struggled to get up. His face was a little red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were broken. He looked in a miserable state.
"You are really crazy. Do you know where this place is? You actually dare to bring the yamen runners in. No one can save you. You will definitely die!" Bai Fangwen gritted his teeth.
"Yongsheng Gang leader Zhang Wuxing attempted to assassinate my master but failed. All the Yongsheng Gang members are accomplices. The county government wants to investigate and arrest them. What's the problem with that?"
Song Chi said coldly, "The time when the government was in cahoots with you is over. You can no longer flaunt your power, let alone act so recklessly!"
These words gave courage to the clerks and officials present.
Dong Weimin was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head away, but Bai Fangwen still saw it with his sharp eyes.
"Dong Weimin!"
Bai Fangwen shouted directly, "Hurry up and deal with this lunatic!"
The tone used was almost commanding, which made Dong Weimin extremely unhappy. He simply walked over and shouted angrily: "Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"You...you are crazy too. Do you still want to be the county magistrate?" Bai Fangwen was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
"I'm done with this. I'm going to be myself from now on!" Dong Weimin shouted, "Song Chi, now's not the time to talk. You need to hurry up and have someone search, especially the account books and list of names. If we find these, we'll have evidence of their evil deeds."
"You've all heard what the County Magistrate said, right? Dig through all the boxes and drawers immediately and find anything that might be handwritten!"
"quick!"
Song Chi gave the order and all the detectives immediately began to act. The people of the Yongsheng Gang were all beaten and crippled and could not resist at all. Among the people he brought was the tax office's handwritten letter.
"You...you dare!" Bai Fangwen's face flushed red, he was really anxious.
At this time, a carriage stopped outside Sifang Pavilion. Han Yuanzheng got out and saw several yamen runners at the door. His face changed immediately.
