After the interrogation of the assassin came to fruition, Ye Cheng did not dare to delay and immediately went to the prefect's mansion to report the matter to Xiao Yuan.
After hearing this, the latter pondered for a moment, then asked: "Are you sure?"
Ye Cheng said: "It's confirmed, sir, we are now..."
"We can arrest people." Xiao Yuan said directly: "In addition, after Shen Rong was arrested, Guo Qian and others must be alert and control them all."
"I understand your humble position!" Ye Cheng took the order and left.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was ready to start a comprehensive purge of officials.
That afternoon, Shen Rong's mansion.
At this moment, Shen Rong was still anxiously waiting for the news.
Assassinating a prefect is not a trivial matter, it will cost you your head! The two assassins sent out have not returned yet, and he has been feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Isn't this an accident?"
While he was pacing back and forth with worry on his face, there was a sudden roaring sound outside the mansion.
It was the sound of the infantry running in unison.
Before Shen Rong could react, the housekeeper ran over in a panic.
Seeing this, Shen Rong couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong! What happened!?"
"Old... Master, the soldiers are all outside and have surrounded the mansion..." the housekeeper said tremblingly.
"What!?" Shen Rong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately walked quickly towards the door of the mansion, ready to take a look.
He is the lord of Qinzhou, so of course he has guards in his house.
At the gate of the mansion.
After Ye Cheng surrounded the place with heavy troops, he was leading a group of soldiers and was about to step in.
There were so many troops outside the mansion. The guards at the door didn't know what was going on. Although they were scared, they had to bite the bullet and said, "This is Lord Bo's mansion and you are not allowed to enter!"
"Get out!" Ye Cheng said nothing, pushed the guard to the ground with one palm, and then led his troops straight in.
He was wearing a general's armor, with a sword hanging on his waist, and he looked menacing. He was followed by a large number of soldiers. The guards at the door dared not stop him. After being pushed to the ground, they watched Ye Cheng enter.
However, as soon as Ye Cheng entered the house and before he started taking action, Shen Rong quickly walked here. After seeing him, he said directly: "General Ye! What do you mean!"
Ye Cheng looked at him.
Shen Rong continued: "I am the majestic Lord of Qinzhou. You, a small general, dare to lead troops and forcefully break into my residence. What crime should you deserve!"
Ye Cheng sneered and said unceremoniously: "Sir Shen sent assassins to try to kill the prefect, what crime should he deserve!"
"What!?" Hearing this, Shen Rong knew that the matter might have been exposed. He swallowed hard first, and lost his previous momentum. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and said tremblingly: "This, this, How is this possible! Did General Ye make a mistake?"
"Mr. Shen knows whether there is a mistake or not. Now, please come with us." Ye Cheng said lukewarmly.
"This, this, I was wronged..." Shen Rong began to quibble.
But Ye Cheng wouldn't pay attention to him, he just waved his hand: "Take it!"
Following his order, the soldiers immediately took action. Two people stepped forward and prepared to detain Shen Rong. But at this time, a group of servants in Shen Rong's mansion ran over with sticks in their hands.
When Ye Cheng saw this, he immediately frowned and shouted coldly: "What do you want to do!? Rebellion!"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and said in a loud voice: "Whoever dares to act rashly will be shot without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of armor scraping could be heard everywhere.
Seeing such a situation and so many troops, the servants were so frightened that they took two steps back. No one dared to step forward again.
Shen Rong said in a trembling voice again: "General Ye, there must be some misunderstanding about this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, there must be some misunderstanding, the prefect is the lord of Qinzhou, even if I have great courage, I would not dare to murder him... "
"Take it away!" Ye Cheng would not listen to his nonsense.
At the same time, the mansion of Guo Qian and other corrupt officials was also surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or exit the mansion.
Qinzhou began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
In the prison, after bringing Shen Rong here, Ye Cheng first raised his head slightly towards the two assassins, and then said to Shen Rong: "Master Shen, do you know these two people? What else can you say now?"
"This..." Shen Rong never thought that the two assassins he raised would be arrested so quickly and confess so quickly. Aren't they dead soldiers?
At this moment, when he saw these two people, what else could he say? Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but sit down on the ground.
Looking at his appearance, Ye Cheng sneered, and then gestured to Hu Wei: "I'll leave this to you."
"Understood, don't worry, general." Hu Wei returned quickly and glanced sideways at Shen Rong.
With Hu Wei's methods, the assassin couldn't bear to confess, let alone Shen Rong, who had been nourishing his life all year round.
The latter is a dog official, a rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He oppresses the people. He can stand up to both of them. But when encountering this situation, Hu Wei does not need to use too many methods at all. He just scares him. He is already Screams kept coming.
After being tied to the torture rack, looking at the instruments of torture in Hu Wei's hands and seeing the two assassins being tortured to an inhuman state, Shen Rong's screams were not to mention how harsh they were.
Before Hu Wei could get closer, he already said repeatedly: "Guo Qian ordered all this! I can't help myself! Put me down quickly! I have important information and I want to report it to the prefect - "
Hearing this, Hu Wei couldn't help but stop his movements and turned to look at Ye Cheng, waiting for Ye Cheng's next order.
Ye Cheng was also moved in his heart, and then waved his hand towards Hu Wei.
The latter understood and ordered the jailer to release Shen Rong.
As soon as he landed, Shen Rong was in shock, feeling as if he had walked through the gates of hell. While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he swallowed his saliva and said:
"I have the corruption evidence of Guo Qian and all the officials in Qin. I just want to meet the prefect and let me live..."
"Oh!?" When Ye Cheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward and asked with his eyes widened: "Is this true!?"
At this time, how dare Shen Rong lie? He almost cried and said:
"I was obsessed for a while and followed Guo Qian's orders. Now, I just want to make up for my mistakes and ask General Ye to make it happen..."
From his tone and demeanor, Ye Cheng knew that what he said was true, and since he was the leader of Qinzhou, he must be well aware of the situation of officials in various places in Qinzhou.
More importantly, Ye Cheng deeply understood that now Xiao Yuan had begun to deal with these corrupt officials. If there was evidence of their corruption, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, he also signaled to Hu Wei, and then personally carried Shen Rong to the prefect's mansion.
