V1.Chapter 116

Due to the rapid expansion of the army in Pingyuan County, there are new regiments, and the bodyguards of the city Lord's residence don't know all the regiments. However, when Cheng Jin spoke, he was full of confidence and momentum, and seemed like no one else. It is estimated that what he said is true. The bodyguards were afraid and didn't dare to come forward easily.

No matter how much, Cheng Jin grabbed the servant and went straight to Wang Meng's bedroom.

As soon as he got to the door, the door opened, and out came a short, fat middle-aged man with small eyes and bones. When he came out, his face was still angry. He shouted and asked, "why is it so messy? What happened..." before he finished, he looked at Cheng Jin coming up.

Others don't know Cheng Jin, but Wang mengke knows him. He met him in the county capital, but he doesn't know his name or his official rank. He only knows that he is someone around Tang Yin. Suddenly seeing Cheng Jin, Wang Meng was stunned and said suspiciously: "you..."

He just said a word about you. Cheng Jin strode close to him. Without saying anything, he grabbed his neck and said in a cold voice, "what a bold dog official. He's corrupt and perverted the law. It's not a pity to die. What else do you have to say now?"

Wang Meng was blindfolded by Cheng Jin's scolding. He opened his eyes blankly and murmured, "you... What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Jin pushed Wang Meng, who had just left the door, back into the bedroom with his palm, and then closed the door. Then he said, "don't mention the miscellaneous things in your silver warehouse for the time being. Tell me, what's the matter with millions of liang of silver in the secret room?"

Ah? Hearing this, Wang Meng's head suddenly buzzed and subconsciously took a breath. How did he know that there was silver in the secret room? No one knows about it except himself and two close confidants. His face changed greatly and he stayed where he was for a long time.

"Hum!" Cheng Jin snorted coldly, dragged Wang Mengyong to the table, picked up the paper and pen on it, handed it to him, and said, "write me everything about how you corrupt and pervert the law and collect and scrape money. Write it now!"

Wang Meng recovered from the shock. He didn't smile, forced a smile, and said in a trembling voice, "this... General, you... You misunderstood. All the silver belongs to my friend, and he left it with me for the time being!" With that, his round brain bag was still connected, indicating that what he said was not false.

Cheng Jinna believed his nonsense and sneered: "it seems that you won't be honest if you don't use some tough means!" As soon as the voice fell, he hit Wang Meng's lower abdomen with a fierce punch.

Wang Meng is a civil servant and can't be smart and martial. He is usually treated with respect and dignity. He has never been beaten like this. When he punches down, he screams in pain like a discouraged ball. His body slides down the table legs and sits on the ground.

This is not the end. Cheng Jin opens his fist and the black fog is released from his palm. In the blink of an eye, the black fog condenses and turns into a dark and shiny spirit armor on his hand. It looks as if he has a black iron glove on his hand.

Open his palm and Cheng Jin clasped Wang Meng's left wrist. He didn't see how hard he exerted himself, but his five fingers recovered. With a crisp click, Wang Meng's wrist bone broke hard. However, if the surface was still intact, the whole palm had been pulled down unnaturally and swayed back and forth in the air.

It really hurts to the bone. Wang Meng had never felt so painful in his life. He let out a scream like killing a pig, then turned his eyes up and fainted in pain.

At the same time, a scream came from the inner end of the bedroom. Cheng Jin turned around and saw that there was a young woman sitting on the bed in the original room. She held a quilt in her hands and covered her chest. Her body trembled violently. It was obvious that she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

There was no threat to him. Cheng Jin ignored the woman and looked back at Wang Meng who was unconscious. He squatted down, touched Wang Meng's people with his fingernails, and pressed them with sudden force. The latter hummed twice and woke up.

Cheng Jin threw the pen and paper on the ground and shouted, "write! If you don't want to suffer alive, just write it for me, otherwise," his palm covering the spirit armor shook in front of Wang Meng and said, "next, I'll crush your feet, dig your eyes, buckle your nose, and finally break your neck!"

"Oh --" Wang Meng said "Shen Yin" painfully. He didn't even dare to look at his crushed wrist bone. His big white and fat face was full of virtual sweat at this time. He said tremblingly: "I... I'm the commander of the royal court and the Lord of Hengcheng city. You... You're bold and brave. I won't let you go of being a ghost..."

Not yet?! Cheng Jin nodded and said, "since you want to be a ghost, I'll help you!" As he spoke, his palm moved down, clasped Wang Meng's ankle, leaned forward slightly and tried to pinch it down.

Remembering the unbearable pain just now, Wang Meng excites Lingling to fight a cold war. He repeatedly said, "wait a minute! Wait a minute! General, as long as you can let me go, I'll give you all the money in the bank. That's one million Liang. Think about it, even if you're a general all your life, you can't make so much money!"

Cheng Jin seemed to listen to the funniest joke in the world. He couldn't help laughing up and said slowly, "if it's just for money, I won't join the army. With my cultivation, I only need to be a bandit for a few years, and I can make a fortune, but that's not what I want. You're a thief and don't want to die in the face of a great disaster, but how can I be your passer-by!" Before the words were finished, Cheng Jin's wrist holding Wang Meng's ankle began to tighten slowly.

This time he didn't crush his ankle bone at once, but applied force slowly and evenly. Of course, he also made Wang Meng's pain deeper and heavier.

"Ah --" Wang Meng screamed again. He could even hear the gurgling sound of his bones.

"Stop pinching, I'll write, I'll write..." he was tortured by Cheng Jin, who didn't eat hard and soft, and almost collapsed. He howled like crazy. At the same time, his nose and tears flowed out together, and then mixed with the sweat of his cheeks. The whole face was blurred into a ball.

"Very good!" Hearing what he said and wrote, Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction. Then he released Wang Meng's ankle and pushed the paper and pen in front of him.

Forced to be helpless, Wang Meng wrote out how he took bribes and perverted the law and imposed business tax on vendors in the city one by one. In fact, in just a few years, he can collect millions of Liang in the poor Hengcheng. What he has done is by no means that. But Cheng Jin ignores so much. This one is enough to cure Wang Meng's crime. That's what he wants.

When Wang Meng finished writing, he picked up the paper and looked at it. After confirmation, he cut Wang Meng's finger with a steel knife and drew a pledge on the confession with his own blood.

After all this, Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It was also risky for him to force Wang Meng to confess. In case the latter was hard enough to admit, it would be hard for him to explain to Tang Yin. Anyway, Wang Meng was also the Lord of the city. It was unreasonable in legal theory to use lynching by himself. Fortunately, Wang Meng was soft enough to admit everything when he was beaten and frightened.

At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside the city master's house. Then, the house door was knocked open from the outside, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed in.

The bodyguards of the city Lord's residence were scared to death. They retreated and didn't even talk to anyone.

With a large number of officers and soldiers rushing in, Tang Yin also walked recently from the outside. Beside him were Ao Qing who reported the news and Shangguan Yuanji who heard the news.

Under the guidance of Aoqing, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji first went to the silver treasury of the city master's residence, where they saw the property hoarded by Wang Meng.

Don't look at the silver first. The antiques and brocades outside the secret room are valuable. When you enter the secret room and see the mountain of silver ingots inside, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji are stunned.

Tang Yin has never seen so much silver in his life. It's shocking that only a city Lord can make so much money.

While Shangguan Yuanji was surprised, his face also turned red. He was in charge of internal affairs. Of course, he could not escape the blame for such a corrupt official within his scope of responsibility.

In fact, Shangguan Yuanji has changed a number of officials since he took office, but those are officials directly under the county. For the time being, he doesn't have more energy to focus on the cities and towns in the county. In other words, thanks to his lack of energy to pay more attention to the cities and towns and change the officials in the cities and towns, it's not sure whether he can find out Wang Meng, a big corrupt official!

Even so, Shangguan Yuanji still felt a fever on his face. After leaving the chamber of secrets with Tang Yin, he gave a deep salute and said apologetically: "Sir, this is the fault of his subordinates, it is their negligence!"

At this time, Tang Yin was very open-minded. Instead of blaming Shangguan Yuanji, he comforted: "Yuanji, it's not your fault. Wang Meng is the one who takes bribes and perverts the law, not you. How can you do everything when you deal with government affairs and many trivial things? You're not an immortal!"

Hearing what he said, Shangguan Yuanji felt more ashamed than relaxed.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly. Tang Yin's profound understanding will only make him work harder and harder, and the burden on his shoulders will be heavier and heavier.

Tang Yin asked Jiaxi, who guarded the bank, where is Cheng Jin

"My Lord, the captain went to find Wang Meng!"

"Oh!" Tang Yin answered and immediately found a bodyguard of the city Lord's house. Guided by him, Tang Yin went to Wang Meng's bedroom.

When Tang Yin and others arrived at Wang Meng's bedroom, the latter was tortured by Cheng Jin and was dying of unconsciousness. His eyes were looking at Tang Yin, but his eyes had no focus.

Cheng Jin hurried forward to salute and whispered, "sir!" As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the confession written by Wang Meng.

After seeing Tang Yinyang's confession, Wang Yanyang glanced at it, and then took over the confession, Leng Sheng said, "in order to make Pingyuan County prosper rapidly and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the county has specially formulated the policy of reducing and exempting business tax, but as the city Lord, you go against its path and fill your private pocket. Your sin can't be forgiven!"
