Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 38 Arrest
Inside Prince Yun's Mansion, the reception hall.

For the first time, the entire Yunwang Mansion was brightly lit at night.

After Zhao Jun learned that the heads of the four families who were trading and the leader of the Tatar tribe had been captured, he ordered people to send both parties to the palace without waiting for the next day.

In the reception hall, Aslan was tied tightly and was forced to kneel on the ground by two hidden guards, but even so, Aslan still stubbornly raised his head and stared viciously at the person sitting in front of him drinking leisurely. Handsome teenager with tea.

But the Patriarchs of the Four Families knelt on the ground very honestly, not daring to move, not even having the courage to raise their heads.

After letting the five of them dry for about half an hour, Zhao Jun finally put down the teacup in his hand and stood up in front of the five of them. Lan's pupils couldn't help but clicked twice and said:

"Hehe, it's still a skewer!"

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and patted Aslan's cheek lightly, causing the other party to roar, but Zhao Jun smiled happily like a child who had succeeded in playing a prank.

After teasing the Tatar leader, Zhao Jun got up again and came to the four patriarchs who were lying on the ground. At this time, the cynicism on his face just now had completely disappeared, and all that remained was indifference. with icy.

Only Zhao Jun said:

"Aren't these the four Patriarchs? Why are you free to come to the palace today?

I remember that the people in your family said that you entered the customs a while ago?Why did the guard battalion under the king's command meet the four patriarchs when they entered Tatar? "

"My lord... my lord... I wait... I know I was wrong, please forgive my sin and spare my life. In the future, in this Yunzhou County, I will regard my lord as my leader, and I will never change my mind. Please let me be magnanimous." Wait for a way out!"

After being brought into Prince Yun's mansion by those men in black, the four of them finally realized that they and others had fallen into the trap of King Yun, and now the matter of stealing and selling prohibited goods from the imperial court was captured by Prince Yun. If he caught him right away, he would become a fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered by others.

At this time, as soon as Zhao Jun opened his mouth, the four immediately begged for mercy, and made countless promises, only hoping that the other party would let them go.

It's a pity that they finally found their flaws, how could Zhao Jun let them go?

Or is the promise they made really credible?

If I let them go today, tomorrow they will renege on their promises and gain weight. Zhao Jun doesn't believe in the integrity of these guys at all!
Zhao Jun doesn't need to be taught the truth of not dying from a snake, but being blamed instead!

Clang!

The silver-white long sword was slowly drawn out, and the cold blade slowly touched Chen Lixin's neck.

Feeling the coldness coming from his neck, Chen Lixin was trembling all over, but his neck was the only one that didn't dare to move!
A puff of moisture suddenly rose from under his body, and a strange smell began to permeate the hall.

Zhao Jun frowned instantly.

Damn, are you so timid?This is scary!How dare you do smuggling with such a coward?waste!

Suppressing the psychological discomfort, Zhao Jun said coldly:
"Patriarch Chen, I have heard of your name since the first day I came here. Patriarch Chen Lixin, Patriarch of the Chen family, the head of the four major families in Yunzhou County, Chen Bancheng, you are really majestic!"

Chen Lixin trembled, and his lips trembled: "My lord... the lord was joking, Caomin is just an ordinary businessman who bears the name of this half of the city, this must be it! Someone must have a grudge against Caomin and intentionally take revenge. Your lord must not believe the rumors!"

"A rumor?"

Zhao Jun smiled slightly. Originally, the long sword with the blade touching Chen Lixin's neck moved slowly. In the end, the sharp tip of the silver-white long sword touched Chen Lixin's Adam's apple straight. The cut skin seeped out.

"The king... the king... the prince..."

Chen Lixin's face was already pale, and every second at this moment was a torment for him.

The point of the sword at the throat seemed to be life-threatening impermanence, reminding him all the time that his life was in the hands of others, and maybe the other party only needed to send it forward gently, and his decades of life , it will turn into nothing, leaving nothing but nothing...

"But how did I receive the news that this Liu Xishan relied on you, Master Chen, to overthrow the county guard and become the controller of Yunzhou County?!
Some businessmen from aristocratic families dare to put their hands into the imperial court, intervene in the battle in the county guard's mansion to support puppet officials, this is not something ordinary businessmen can do!Master Chen, what should I do to such a businessman?That's really worrying, isn't it? "

As Zhao Jun spat out the words word by word, Chen Lixin's heart sank a bit. In the end, after Zhao Jun withdrew the long sword that was stuck at his Adam's apple, he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to do, what do you want to know, you can just ask, Caomin... Caomin... Caomin just obey..."

After saying these words, Chen Lixin lay powerlessly on the ground, he didn't even struggle, and directly accepted his fate.

Things have developed to this point, and he has no other way to go.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Jun couldn't help showing a sneer, and turned his head to look at the other three. The three guys who had just raised their eyes to watch the situation immediately knocked their heads firmly on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Knowing that he had achieved his goal of killing chickens and monkeys, Zhao Jun turned around and walked back to his seat to sit down, his eyes were cold, and his voice was cold and deep:

"Based on what you have committed, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, you have recruited foreign captives, smuggled prohibited items, and even manipulated the imperial government's prefectures and prefectures. One by one, no matter which one it is, the nine clans of you will accompany you. See Hades!"

Except for Chen Lixin who was paralyzed on the ground, the other three trembled violently when they heard the words.

Wang Zhihuan, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, pleaded: "My lord, I know that I have committed a serious crime, but please be merciful and let my family survive. In the next life, I will definitely tie a straw ring to repay my lord's kindness today! Please be merciful to my lord!" !"

The other two immediately agreed.

Suddenly there was a burst of pleading in the hall.

Zhao Jun sneered and said, "Let them live? Then, have you ever thought about whether the Tartars who survived after getting your supplies will let them live when they face the people trembling under the knife?" ?
When your family members are enjoying the bloody money you earned and living the life of a master, have they ever thought about how many lives are behind the money? !

How many innocent people's families have been ruined by what you have obtained?
They have enjoyed the benefits, but they want me to let them live when retribution comes?
Where does such a good thing come from in this world! ? "

The begging voices of the three of them stopped abruptly just now, and the tears silently filled their cheeks, but they couldn't say a word of begging for mercy, because they knew it was useless.

For them, except for Li Xuanji who has already served him and is still useful, the other three, Zhao Jun, will not let them go. At most, he will give them a little benefit for later convenience, but only one thing, the rest of the family But they must all be punished as they deserve!
With a cold snort, Zhao Jun took a sip of the tea on the side table, and when the four of them were in despair, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "But it's not impossible to give you a chance."

The eyes of the four of them brightened, and even Chen Lixin, who had just collapsed on the ground from fright, immediately staggered up and knelt on the ground, looking expectantly at Zhao Jun who was drinking tea.

Zhao Jun was silent for a while, and after whetting the appetites of several people, he said:
"I know, since you have stretched your hands into the yamen and the garrison, then you will definitely leave relevant evidence to hold them hostage, right?
Well, as long as you hand over these evidences, I will give you a way out.two!
Each family will give you two places, let them leave here, they will no longer be members of your four families, and have nothing to do with the mistakes made by your four families! "

After hearing Zhao Jun's promise, the four of them were silent for a while, but then they all showed expressions of relief.

That's right, with all the things I did, it's a blessing to be able to leave some blood, so how can I have the right to ask for more?

At the very least, it is already the best result that I can leave a bloodline in this world so that my bloodline will not be cut off.

Immediately, the four of them uttered all the crimes they had committed over the years, colluding with the garrison, controlling the yamen, and even settling in the disaster year to accumulate odd fortunes and make national disasters. The location of the evidence is also stated.

On the side, Wang Huai'en had already taken several subordinates to record the crimes and the location of the evidence in detail.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that the four finally finished clearly the illegal things they had done in these four years. Their crimes were horrible, vile, despicable, and shameless, which is simply outrageous!
After saying this, the four of them collapsed on the spot as if they had lost their bones, without any strength left.

Zhao Jun just listened to them quietly all night, when he saw the matter was over, he immediately got up and gave the order:

"Order the Second Battalion to control the entire city before the gates of Yunzhou City are wide open, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and at the same time ransack the homes of the four families, arrest all those involved, and find all the evidence and keep it intact!
In addition, Cheng Cheng, the defense envoy of Xuanyunzhou County, was sent to the palace to guard the first battalion and control the entire Yunzhou army as quickly as possible after he left the camp.

As for the matter, I hope that all the dust will be settled before the sun sets today. "

"Yes! We obey the order!"

Immediately, a few people stood up from the side, one of them was slightly fat in the official uniform of the sheriff, and they were Li Yi, the current sheriff of Yunzhou County.

The other two were a black-faced man in armor and a handsome young man in a moon-white robe.

This black-faced man is Guan Ning, the commander of the Second Guard Battalion, and Yun Li, the big shopkeeper of Yunzhou County of Feiyun Trading Company!
After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun couldn't help yawning, waved his hands and went to the back house. After spending the whole night here, Zhao Jun was already sleepy, and now that everything was arranged, he was going to catch up on sleep.

After Zhao Jun left, Li Yi immediately leaned in front of Guan Ning with a flattering face, borrowed a hundred soldiers and horses, and hurried towards the Yamen.

Damn, I was taken over by Liu Xishan when I took office. I have been a puppet for these years, and today I want to give him all back!
Not long after Li Yi left, Guan Ning and Yun Li discussed the matter of cooperating with the search of the four families, and then arranged for each of them to go down, while the heads of the four families in the hall were suppressed by Wang Huai'en and locked up separately.

It's just that Chen Lixin and others didn't know that after they were separated and detained, Li Xuanji was secretly taken into another wing of the palace. Not long after, he hurried home with a stamped handwritten letter, saving his entire family. Cheng's property and some relatively innocent clansmen.

As for the rest of the people, they can only be regarded as a nomination certificate for the prince.

This early morning, soldiers and horses were everywhere in the entire Yunzhou County, and the people were all honestly hiding at home and not daring to come out, waiting for the matter to end.

In the county yamen, Liu Xishan, who had just yawned and arrived in front of the yamen, found himself surrounded by a hundred knives and axes. A passage was opened in front of the knives and axes. Say hello.

"Yo! Good morning Liu Juncheng! Are you on duty so early?"
