son, don't mess around

Chapter 137 Things Get Out of Control

Prefect's House.

In the vestibule.

Wang Shiquan frowned, his face became more and more ugly.

He got up and paced back and forth in the front hall, taking a deep breath with his hands behind his back, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Wang Shiquan suddenly looked up at the door.

Not long after, Zheng Chang hurried to the front hall.

"How is it?"

"Returning to my lord, there is still no news of the young master..."

Hearing this news, Wang Shiquan's expression suddenly changed, and his figure swayed, looking very ugly.

No news yet? !

It has been five or six days since Wang Qin disappeared.

In the past five or six days, he almost mobilized the city defense and county government forces in the entire Xunyang City to search for Wang Qin's whereabouts, and almost turned the entire Xunyang City upside down.Not only that, but almost all the places that could be found outside Xunyang City have been searched, but there is still no result.

Wang Shiquan's face was extremely ugly, and finally he couldn't sit still anymore.Missing for five or six days, this means that Wang Qin is more and more likely to be in danger!
If Wang Qin was kidnapped, or someone with a heart controlled him to target Wang Shiquan, why did there still be no movement after so many days?
In Wang Shiquan's mind, the worst possibility inevitably emerged.

Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan flickered and staggered.

"My lord? My lord!"

Zheng Chang stepped forward anxiously, and quickly supported Wang Shiquan: "My lord, don't worry too much, young master, he will be fine!"

Zheng Chang tried to comfort him, but he couldn't speak.No one can guarantee whether the young master will be killed or not, but the more calm it is at this time.

"My lord, you have to cheer up!"

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice: "The people behind him kidnapped the young master, there must be some conspiracy. If you mess up at this time, my lord, wouldn't you just fall into their hands?"

Wang Shiquan's face softened slightly, and he naturally thought of this possibility.

only……

"No matter who the kidnappers are, if they don't want to offend you, they will definitely not hurt you...Master, you should keep calm, hold your breath, and wait for them to show up!"

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice: "The subordinates will also try their best to find the whereabouts of the young master, and rescue the young master safely."

Wang Shiquan took a few deep breaths. As the prefect of Xunyang County, he was naturally not so fragile.It's just that it's about the only child, and these days, I'm running around worrying about it, which makes me emotionally confused.

His eyes were low, and he said coldly: "Whoever dares to hurt my son, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price!"

Having said that, Wang Shiquan realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Qin: "What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate before?"

"Any news?"

"Sir, this..."

Zheng Chang hesitated and stopped talking.

Wang Shiquan's eyes froze suddenly: "Why, is there anything you can't say?"

Zheng Chang hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "My lord, my subordinates have indeed found out something related to your son. But... Your lord must be mentally prepared."

Wang Shiquan said in a deep voice, "Say?"

"My son has indeed done some things, and he has colluded with some forces..."

Zheng Chang carefully stated what he had investigated in the past few days.

If you don't check, you won't be clear. If you check, you will be shocked.

Zheng Chang never expected that his young master had secretly done so many stupid things over the years!
Abduction and trafficking of women?Oppressing the common people, occupying private fields, even secretly risking beheading, having an affair with a merchant who sells private salt...

One pile, one piece, shocking!
In the past, these things might have been concealed all the time, but with Wang Qin's disappearance, the entire Xunyang City was panicked. Zheng Chang found those who had contact with Wang Qin before his disappearance, followed the clues, and quickly found out this huge profit industry chain.

After learning all this, Zheng Chang felt chills all over his body.

He had known for a long time that the young master was secretly doing some shady things, but he never thought that the young master was so bold...

"Bastard!"

"Rebel!"

After Wang Shiquan finished listening, his face became angry in vain. He was so angry that he slapped the table next to him hard, making a dull and loud noise.

His eyes were full of anger, he never thought that that rebellious son would do such a rebellious thing? !
"I thought he was just ignorant, but I didn't expect him to do such a beast!!"

Wang Shiquan was extremely angry, his old face was full of anger.

"My lord, don't be angry, don't get angry..."

Zheng Chang hurriedly comforted him: "Young master is indeed ignorant, maybe he went astray and was led astray..."

"Are you still trying to lie to me?"

Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy, and he looked at him coldly: "This Nizi has done so many stupid things under the eyes of this official, and this official didn't notice it at all. What do you think is the reason?"

Zheng Chang's eyelids twitched suddenly, the young master was able to do these things under their noses, but they didn't know anything about it.what does that mean?
There is an inner ghost in the prefect's mansion!

"Who is it?!"

Wang Shiquan's face was extremely gloomy.

Zheng Chang thought of a certain possibility in his mind, his face changed slightly, he hesitated to speak.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Young Master's disappearance is probably related to this matter. Those people kidnapped Young Master. If they start from this aspect, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for the adults and the Wang family!"

Wang Shiquan's face was particularly gloomy. All the things that nifty bastard did were enough to put the Wang family in trouble. Once exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Find a way to clean it up!"

"Before those people get their hands on it, clean up the bastards that this traitor did, and don't leave any evidence behind, understand?"

"Yes!"

Zheng Chang spoke in a deep voice and left in a hurry.

The stakes are so high that there is no room for ambiguity.These problems must be dealt with before they are exposed.

It's just that when Zheng Chang was busy dealing with the mess left by the young master.In Xunyang City, a woman was ushered in at the government office, holding a pleading paper to sue Wang Qin, the son of Xunyang prefect.

As soon as this news came out, the relevant officials in charge of handling the case were shocked!

Who to sue?
The son of Xunyang prefect?

Is this person crazy?

The officials who received the report were frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately reported the matter to the prefect of Xunyang.And the woman who sued was quickly taken away by the government officials and put in a prison.

But things are far from over!

On the second day after this woman was arrested, two more women appeared at the gate of the government office and once again sued the son of Xunyang prefect for occupying their ancestral land.

But this time, the incident was extremely serious. Even if the people in the government office reacted quickly enough, it was inevitable that the news would spread quickly in Xunyang City.

"Have you heard? Yesterday and today someone went to the government office to sue our prefect's son!"

"I heard, Wang Qin, right? I already knew that he was a bastard, but I didn't expect him to do such a crazy thing. As the son of the prefect, he actually took other people's ancestral land... I heard that the husband who sued the woman yesterday went to seek justice, but he was beaten to death by his dog legs, and he died within a few days..."

"There is still such a thing, why didn't you report it to the official earlier?"

"Oh, report to the official? You don't even know who Wang Qin's father is? Who is suing this official?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

"It's too much, is there any king's law!"

"Murder pays for life. If Wang Qin killed someone, even if he is the son of the prefect, can he stay out of it?"

"Where is the law of my Daning Dynasty? Is there any law of heaven?!"

"..."

The speed at which this news spread far exceeded everyone's expectations.The news about Wang Qin, the son of the prefect of Xunyang bullying males and females, occupying fertile fields for private use, and forcing them into prostitution, spread throughout the city in just one day.

Even though the government responded quickly enough, it still couldn't stop the public grievances.The people in Xunyang City already had a lot of grievances, and there was a lot of conflict between the dignitaries and the people. In addition, Wang Qin used to work for tigers in Xunyang City. Now that these news came out, it seemed that the anger in the hearts of the people had been ignited, and the fire was raging instantly.

Even if there are many people blocking the gate of the government office, demanding the release of the women imprisoned by them, it is fair.

At the beginning, the official government strongly suppressed the matter and expelled the people, but as the people became angry, even the official government could not withstand the pressure.It wasn't until the government dispatched the army that they finally expelled the troubled people.

But even so, the people's grievances are getting higher and higher, and they denounce the government for covering up, and the sky is dark.Immediately afterwards, some news related to Wang Qin was exposed one after another.Some of the assholes that Wang Qin had done in Xunyang City over the years were also exposed.

Oppressing the common people, plundering by force, maliciously suppressing opponents, paying for murder...

Regardless of whether it is related to Wang Qin or not, public opinion has already detained everything on Wang Qin's head.

The wall is knocked down!

As things fermented, they gradually got out of control.

"..."

Prefect's House.

"boom!"

A crisp crack sounded.

Wang Shiquan angrily smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.

"Nizi, Nizi!!"

Wang Shiquan's eyes were angry, his complexion was gloomy and ferocious, and the blood vessels on his temples were bulging, making him look extremely terrifying.

"My lord, calm down, calm down!"

Zheng Chang on the side also had an ugly expression.

No one expected that the situation would develop to this point.

In just a few days, the wind direction of the entire Xunyang City turned their finger on the young master and the prefect!

"My lord, there must be someone behind this."

Zheng Chang said in a deep voice: "They deliberately guided the people and transferred the anger of the people to the young master, with ulterior motives."

Wang Shiquan gave him a cold look: "If that Nizi didn't do such a thing, how could he guide him?"

Zheng Chang was silent.

He didn't expect that the situation would come to this point.Since the woman sued the young master two days ago, things started to go wrong.

After interrogation and investigation, it was confirmed that there was someone guiding the woman behind her.But the person behind the guide is very smart and has not shown up before, but only provided some key evidence.

From the beginning to the end, they did not find out the identity of any person behind it!
More importantly, the woman's complaint was not half false.

Wang Qin usurped the land left by his ancestors for generations, and the woman's husband was indeed beaten to death by Wang Qin's men. This incident had caused a commotion before, but it was quickly suppressed.

In this way, the matter is extremely serious.The people behind it only need a little guidance from public opinion, and things get out of hand.

"My lord, now is not the time to settle accounts."

Zheng Chang reminded: "Now the people outside are filled with righteous indignation. If this matter is not calmed down as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Wang Shiquan's face was livid and gloomy, why didn't he know?

If the situation is allowed to continue, he, the prefect of Xunyang, cannot escape the blame.

"Quiet things up as soon as possible, don't make any mistakes!"

The expression on Wang Shiquan's face gradually softened, his eyes were cold.

"Yes."

Zheng Chang bowed his head respectfully, and was about to leave when Wang Shiquan called to stop him.

"and many more……"

Wang Shiquan stared at him suddenly: "It's impossible to rely on that Nizi alone. Someone must be helping him secretly. Have you found out who is helping him secretly?!"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Chang's face changed slightly, and he hesitated.

Wang Shiquan narrowed his eyes suddenly: "What? What are you hiding from me?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Zheng Chang gritted his teeth, and finally said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid I need to verify this matter myself."

"..."

Prefect's House.

Small courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian lay leisurely on the deck chair under the eaves, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, half-closed his eyes.

Xiao Zhu sat aside, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, peeling off one by one, and stuffing them into His Highness's mouth.

Lin Jiangnian was enjoying the grapes fed by the little maid while he glanced at Lin Qingqing standing under the eaves.

"How's it going outside?"

Lin Qingqing lowered her head and told what happened in the city.

After Lin Jiangnian finished listening, he slightly opened his eyes and murmured, "It's started!"

Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Lin Jiangnian did not explain, but glanced at her: "What do you think?"

Lin Qingqing was silent for a while: "Then Wang Qin is really not a thing!"

"That's not what I asked."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "Tell me, can this Xunyang prefect survive this crisis?"

Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Although the public opinion is now one-sided, the matter is not serious. With the skills of the Wang family and the eunuch, there is naturally a way to clear this matter up and turn black and white..."

"After a while, when the sentiment of the common people subsides, naturally not many people will remember this matter... For the Wang family, the opinions of the common people are not important! It is not difficult to remove Wang Qin from the private occupation of common people's land..."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "So, Wang Qin and the Wang family won't have much influence in the end?"

Lin Qingqing nodded slightly.

Lin Jiangnian smiled, "Why do you know so much? Could it be that you have experience?"

Lin Qingqing just glanced at His Royal Highness and said nothing.

Immediately, Lin Jiangnian realized something, and was startled with a smile on his face.

"From this point of view, the fire isn't burning hot enough!"

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"How can this son stay out of such a lively matter?"

Lin Jiangnian swallowed the grapes brought by Xiao Zhusu's hand beside him, and the little maid blushed slightly, she withdrew her little hand in a little panic, and hid the crystal clear fingers behind her back.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Don't the Wang family want to suppress this matter?"

"This son is not!"

"It's better to let this storm come more violently!"

"..."
