son, don't mess around

Chapter 138 The Jiang Family Wife and Daughter
"Who exactly ordered you?"

In the dim prison, there was a foul smell.In one of the cells, a ragged woman was tied to a wooden frame, bruised all over her body and dying.

Zheng Chang stared at the other party with a gloomy face, his eyes were cold.

After two days of rigorous investigation and torture, the woman finally couldn't resist the torture and confessed everything.

However, the clues she gave were of no use.The person behind that hides extremely deeply, and there is no half clue.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chang's face was extremely ugly.

The young master has been missing for several days, and within these few days, there was almost a commotion in Xunyang City.With the ferment of these two days, the young master, the prefect, and even the Wang family were put on the fire.

Public opinion in the city has begun to spread in this direction, although the prefect's government quickly used forces to suppress public opinion and arrested those who spread the word.At the same time, many people were sent to quietly eliminate the influence...

With the power of the Wang Family and the Prefect's Mansion, it is not difficult to suppress public opinion.

But until now, the person hiding behind the darkness has never shown up, which is a great hidden danger.The less the other party shows up, the more passive they are.

No one knows what conspiracy they are secretly brewing!
After interrogating the arrested women, before Zheng Chang had time to leave the prison, someone rushed over and whispered something in Zheng Chang's ear.

Zheng Chang's expression changed immediately.

"what?!"

"Who did it?"

"..."

Prefect's House.

"boom!"

Wang Shiquan angrily smashed the cup in his hand to the ground: "What's going on?!"

"Why hasn't the matter been resolved yet?!"

With a gloomy face, Zheng Chang stepped forward: "My lord, I'm afraid things are beyond your and my expectations..."

"The subordinates secretly sent people to deal with this matter according to the order of the adults. Even the restless forces in the city have warned them..."

"Originally, the situation has been gradually brought under control, but for some reason... there seems to be another force in the city!"

Zheng Chang looked coldly: "This force is secretly fueling the flames and provoking the emotions of the people, making it difficult to calm down the matter!"

Wang Shiquan looked at him coldly: "Have you found out yet?"

Zheng Chang gritted his teeth: "My lord, the other party's traces are extremely hidden, and there is no way to find out everything. The other party seems to have expected it long ago. Our people have been led by the nose..."

"waste!"

Wang Shiquan spoke coldly with an angry expression.

Public opinion in the city fermented, and now those people have pointed their finger at him.If this matter is allowed to continue to simmer, Lord Inspector is alarmed, or this matter is stabbed to Beijing...

"I order you to do whatever you can to calm this matter down as soon as possible!" Wang Shiquan said angrily.

"Subordinates obey!"

"and also……"

Wang Shiquan took a deep breath, raised his eyes and stared at Zheng Chang: "Where is Wang Changjin?"

Hearing this name, Zheng Chang's heart skipped a beat.

Wang Changjin?
This person is exactly the elder brother.

Zheng Chang's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he lowered his head and said, "Second Master has been living alone in the west of the city since he moved out of the mansion a few years ago. Every time he stays behind closed doors, he seldom contacts the outside world..."

"..."

Xunyang City, western suburbs, house.

A middle-aged man in a plain gray gown was carrying a water bottle to water the flowers and plants planted in the yard.The flowers and plants grow luxuriantly and thrive.

A somewhat satisfied expression appeared on the face of the middle-aged man. He put down the kettle and sat down in the pavilion beside him. Someone had already made hot tea.

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup. On this cool autumn day, he drank a cup of hot tea and enjoyed it with his eyes closed.Until the sound of footsteps in the courtyard not far away broke all the tranquility.

"master!"

A servant hurried into the pavilion, leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and said something.The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then recovered and nodded slightly.

"I see."

Not long after, a figure appeared again in the courtyard.

Wang Shiquan stepped into the courtyard, looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the pavilion, and approached slowly without saying a word.

"grown ups!"

The maid in the pavilion spoke respectfully, but Wang Shiquan waved her away coldly.

Soon, there were only two people left in the pavilion.

"Long gold!"

Wang Shiquan stared at the middle-aged man sitting in the pavilion, and spoke slowly, with a neither cold nor cold voice.

Only then did Wang Changjin slowly open his eyes, with a smile on his face: "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Wang Shiquan was expressionless, looking at the middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to him with complicated eyes.

They are brothers, brothers!
Wang Shiquan's expression was hidden, and his tone was cold: "Did you do it?"

Wang Changjin seemed a little surprised, and glanced at him: "What do you mean?"

"Are you behind Qin'er's back for what Qin'er has done in the past few years?" Wang Shiquan stared at his face.

However, Wang Changjin didn't feel flustered or uneasy when he was exposed, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a touch of sarcasm: "Since you have been here, you must have the answer in your heart. If so, why bother?"

"So it was you who did it?"

Wang Shiquan's eyes instantly became extremely gloomy: "Why did you do this?!"

"Why?"

The corner of Wang Changjin's mouth raised slightly: "Why do you say?"

"All I have done is for the good of our Wang family!"

Wang Shiquan looked angry immediately, and said angrily: "For the good of the Wang family? Which of these things you have done will not drag the Wang family into the abyss?!"

"Trafficking people, selling illicit salt, enriching private pockets, annexing land... which crime is not enough for you to die ten times?!"

Wang Shiquan was furious, he never imagined that his own brother would do such an outrageous thing in private behind his back.

However, Wang Changjin looked slightly contemptuous, as if he didn't take these things to heart at all. He glanced at Wang Shiquan: "Without what I did, would our Wang family be where we are today?"

"Without me winning over the powers of the great families in Yanzhou and Xunyang County, how can you secure the position of the prefect of Xunyang?"

"My good brother, you don't think that you can stay in the position of Xunyang prefect for ten years because of your ability and ability?"

Wang Shiquan's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Changjin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly: "When the Jiang family fell, how many people were eyeing the position of Xunyang prefect? ​​Ask yourself, were you qualified and able to take this position back then?"

Wang Shiquan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he remained silent on the spot without speaking.

Indeed, it was beyond everyone's expectation that he was able to become the prefect of Xunyang back then. With his qualifications, he was not qualified at all.

But he finally got it!

Not only is the Wang family fighting for strength, but also because he has received the support of many aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Xunyang County.

Wang Shiquan always thought that there was a bit of luck and a bit of God's blessing.But now hearing Wang Changjin's words, an unbelievable thought came to his mind.

"You can become the prefect of Xunyang because those aristocratic families support you, but do you think that those aristocratic families will support you in vain and support our Wang family?"

Wang Changjin sneered: "What they want is benefits, and our Wang family can bring them enough bargaining chips. They don't care who the prefect of Xunyang is, what they care about is how much benefit our Wang family can give them!"

"Without my operation over the years, do you really think that our Wang family can have the status it has today? You Xunyang prefect, can you really sit safely until now?"

Wang Shiquan froze in place suddenly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

When the truth was revealed, it was hard for him to accept.

"so……"

Wang Shiquan's voice was hoarse: "Is this why you did these things behind my back all these years?"

"You did all those things that happened in Xunyang County these years?!"

Wang Changjin's expression was still indifferent, and he glanced at him: "All I have done is for the good of the Wang family."

Wang Shiquan said angrily: "You are dragging the Wang family into the abyss. Once something happens, the Wang family will be forever lost!"

"abyss?"

But Wang Changjin didn't care: "You and I are already in the abyss, and we have no choice for a long time...My good brother, have you really forgotten what happened more than ten years ago?"

"Have you really forgotten why the Jiang family was wiped out overnight?"

Wang Shiquan's face immediately changed, cloudy or sunny.

"A traitor for a day, a traitor for life!"

Wang Changjin looked at him and sneered: "Jiang Cheng back then was just like you, stubborn and stubborn, and you knew the end result..."

Wang Shiquan was completely silent!

He wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a word.

Ten years ago, since he took office, he has always wanted to be a good official.But in the end, everything seems to be empty.

It turned out that he still hadn't escaped from this carefully woven cage!
"In Yanzhou, or even in Xunyang County, the forces of all parties have long been closely connected, and a single move affects the whole body... You can't change it, and you don't need to change it!"

Seeing the silent Wang Shiquan, Wang Changjin shook his head slightly: "You can continue to be your Xunyang prefect, and no one can shake your position. This Xunyang County still belongs to our Wang family, and no one can change it!"

Wang Shiquan seemed to have recovered, and said coldly: "Qin'er is missing!"

"His disappearance is related to you!"

Wang Changjin frowned slightly, and fell silent for a while: "I'm also looking for his whereabouts!"

"In Xunyang City, there may be other forces involved."

Wang Shiquan sneered: "You said that our Wang family has the final say in Xunyang County, but now Qin'er's whereabouts are unknown, and rumors are spreading in the city..."

"How do you explain it!"

Wang Changjin was silent for a moment and frowned.

He also heard about what happened in Xunyang County recently, and found some clues.It's just that, so far, I'm still not sure.

"I heard that Prince Lin's son has arrived in Xunyang City?" Wang Changjin asked.

Wang Shiquan was expressionless: "He is in my house."

He seemed to realize something: "Qin'er's disappearance has something to do with him?"

Wang Changjin did not explain, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that next to Prince Lin, there is a maid surnamed Jiang..."

Hearing this surname, Wang Shiquan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The mother of Prince Lin's son is from the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River. Why is it so strange that there is a maid in Prince Lin's mansion named Jiang?"

"Do you still remember the news that Jiang's mother and daughter escaped and their whereabouts were unknown when the Jiang family was ransacked and beheaded?"

Wang Shiquan's eyes froze.

Of course he didn't forget.

When Jiang Cheng died in Miaojiang, Jiang's family was ransacked and beheaded, but somehow Jiang Cheng's wife and daughter escaped.

At that time, the Wang family sent almost all the experts to search for the mother and daughter of the Jiang family, but when they found them, the mother and daughter had already frozen to death in the river in the wilderness.

Wang Changjin sneered: "The mother and daughter found back then, their appearance has changed beyond recognition. Except for the same clothes and jewelry on their bodies, there is no evidence to prove their identities... Are you really sure that the two corpses are Jiang Cheng's wife and daughter?"

Wang Shiquan's expression changed slightly. He did have suspicions, and he still searched for them all these years, but there was still no clue, so he gradually assumed that the mother and daughter were dead.

"You mean, they're still alive?"

Wang Shiquan frowned: "Back then, their mother and daughter had no one to rely on. If they were alive, how could they have escaped hunting?"

Wang Changjin sneered, "Who says they are helpless?"

"What's the meaning?!"

"Jiang Cheng met Lin Hengzhong who was not yet Lin Wang back then, and the relationship between the two is quite good..."

Wang Changjin didn't continue, but Wang Shiquan's pupils suddenly shrank: "You mean..."

"came back!"

Wang Changjin's eyes gradually became serious, and he said coldly: "They are back to take revenge!"

"..."

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, this subordinate has secretly sent people to fuel the flames and make things worse..."

Lin Qingqing lowered her head and reported the results of the battle, but there was a bit of doubt between her brows: "Your Highness, is it really useful for us to do this?"

Although it is troublesome for the Wang family to spread public opinion among the people and make matters worse, it can't cause much harm.

"It's no use!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly.

Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "Then why..."

"What this son wants is to expand the influence of the matter, and it doesn't matter how much influence it can have on the Wang family..."

Lin Jiangyou sighed: "With the current level of farce, it is almost impossible to shake the position of the Wang family."

not enough!

The evidence is far from enough!

From the existing charges, whether it is human trafficking, illegal salt trafficking, etc., there is no direct evidence to prove that it is related to the Wang family.

The Wang family is naturally not stupid, and Wang Qin is obviously not stupid either. Naturally, it is impossible to do this kind of thing by himself.All of this is done by others, and the Wang family is secretly manipulating it.

Although Wang Qin is now suspected of being involved, as long as the Wang family is willing to make up their minds, they will come out righteous and exterminate.Even if the loss is heavy, it will not hurt the foundation of the Wang family!
"If you only have this ability, it doesn't look like your style of acting?!"

Lin Jiangnian muttered to himself, based on his knowledge of kites, this doesn't look like a kite.If she is not absolutely sure, how can she make a move?

Moreover, if she wanted revenge, why didn't she show up for so long?

What is she waiting for?
Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, accompanied by several figures passing by.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it.

Lin Qingqing left in a hurry, and hurried back soon after.

"Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?"

"Wang Qin, you have been rescued!"

"..."
