Chapter 118 Chapter 3 of the Covenant
The carriage swayed all the way in the middle of the night, and finally stopped at dawn. Qin Mubai and Chen Yan didn't say anything more in the middle of the night. At this time, they called her, "I'm here. Get out of the car."
Chen Yan's bright eyes opened instantly, without saying a word, and jumped out of the carriage like a gust of wind. The clothes fluttered across Qin Mubai's face, leaving a fragrant wind.
"Oh, the heroine will also have the fragrance of powder, which is quite popular in Jianghuai's gardenia flavor... After all, it's also a woman!" Qin Mubai smiled and stepped out of the car.
"General, that's it." A path-snowing pawn raised his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous house and said.
"You can come forward and say hello first, and I'll come later." Qin Mubai took away the three pawns and said to Chen Yan, "Before I see Liao Lirong, I must promise me one thing."
"You said, I may not agree." Chen Yan was as cold as frost and said lightly.
"It's not difficult." Qin Mubai said, "I just ask you not to take revenge without permission after hearing Liao Lirong's confession."
"What's your plan?" Chen Yan sneered, "It's time to pay off debts and kill people to pay for their lives. If you look around, you must be careful. I can't say it. It must be an excuse for officials to protect each other. I can't promise you."
"Then I promise you can't hear anything from Liao Lirong." Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows gently and his face darkened. He said with a serious face, "This case is huge. It's about the society. It's far more than just the killing of Zhu Chengwen. In his position, plan his business. Even if I kill Liao Lirong today, I will never let you take revenge without permission and startle me.
"Then I will kill you first!" Chen Yandou pulled out and moved, and her body was like a ghost sword and stabbed at Qin Mubai's chest!
"It's unreasonable!" Qin Mubai shouted calmly. This time, instead of retreating, his chest and abdomen shrank and his hands like a pair of iron pliers and patted the sword clip.
"Bum!"
With a sharp sound, Chen Yan's ghostly murderous sword was actually caught in the palm of Qin Mubai's palm!
Chen Yan was suddenly surprised, and thanks to her quick response, she hurriedly pulled out her sword, but it was like being inserted into the iron stone and could not be pulled out at all. In amazed, she raised her foot and swept at Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai shouted loudly and exerted his strength at the same time. His hands twisted the sword like iron pliers. At the same time, his feet stepped on the ground slightly and leaned into the air.
"Ah..." After all, Chen Yan is a female streamer. Although her swordsmanship is excellent and extremely fast, her strength is a few grades weaker than Qin Mubai, who is born with divine power. Qin Mubai's slap, coupled with the help of the inertia of her body, she can still catch the sword!
With a "buzz--" sound, Chen Yan's sword was out of hand. At the same time, the hand holding the sword hurriedly reached behind her and kept grasping. Obviously, Qin Mubai also shook her wrist with this pinch just now.
Qin Mubai half turned his body and landed firmly on the ground. He looked at Chen Yan with a cold face. He hummed and shook his wrist slightly. He turned over the sword in the palm and held the hilt of the sword. The sword was inserted directly in front of Chen Yan's toes like long eyes.
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman. If you don't stand it, it's just like being afraid of you. I hope you don't regard my tolerance as weakness and incompetence. Qin Mubai cut his back with both hands and walked a few steps, and said lightly, "Although I don't like to hit women, I don't even mind killing you when you touch my bottom line."
Chen Yan stared at Qin Mubai with her eyes. She held the sword tightly and her finger joints were about to go white. She swallowed a breath of hatred and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll agree to your terms first. But you also have to promise me one thing."
"You say it first."
"If you know the murderer, I can give you a period of time to take care of the so-called 'social affairs'. But as soon as you haven't brought the murderer to justice, I will kill you and the murderer together!"
"Now is the autumn. The murderers must be ambush within a month, and you will have a chance to see their heads." Qin Mubai said indifferently, "So, you are not allowed to act rashly in this month, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Huh! Listen, I will follow you step by step within this month until I see the murderer's head fall to the ground. Chen Yan sneered, "Also, I just underestimated you for a while. Do you think you can really beat me? I warn you, don't talk to me in that threatening tone!"
"The legs are on your feet. I don't care where you go. I love to follow you." Qin Mubai turned around and left as he said, "In addition, I have never been to win or lose, and I don't have the habit of reasoning with the corpse."
Chen Yan's delicate body was slightly shocked, and she stared at Qin Mubai's back several times with hatred, and still raised her heels.
The two walked to the front of the private house. The three pawns were waiting outside and arched their hands to Qin Mubai and said, "General, Liao Lirong is in it. Four brothers are specially staying here to guard, and it is difficult to fly."
"Very good. You are waiting outside. I'll go in and try him first. Qin Mubai said after a pause and turned back to Chen Yan, "You'd better listen in the room outside the door and don't break in. I'm afraid that you will kill him in a moment.
"It's up to you." Chen Yan threw down a cold sentence, held the sword, and turned her face away.
The three pawns scoffed at her together, and walked aside and no one paid attention to her.
Qin Mubai walked into the room, and the four pawns were distributed in different corners of the inner room, closely monitoring all the movements inside and outside to ensure that there was no visual blind spot. Baiqi has a lot of training in this field, and it seems that they also use it very well when carrying out tasks.
Liao Lirong lay sideways in the inner room**, probably falling asleep.
Qin Mubai asked the pawns to wait outside the door. He walked to the bed and kicked Liao Lirong's buttocks.
"Wow--" Liao Lirong was so scared that he shouted and sat up. Suddenly, he saw Qin Mubai in front of him panicked for a moment and muttered, "General Qin, General Qin!"
"Do you still recognize me? That's good. It saves a lot of words. Qin Mubai was not in a hurry. He sat down on a chair by the bed and raised his chin: "Sit well. I have something to ask you."
"Yes, yes. If you have something to say, General Qin just ask, humble position... He knows everything, and his words are endless. Liao Lirong was a little at a loss. He sat down submissively, but only dared to put half of his buttocks next to the bed board. His upper body was straight but his head was down, and he did not dare to look at Qin Mubai.
"Last time I sent a few brothers to ask you some rough questions. You have already confessed. It was you who took advantage of Zhu Chengwen's spare wet towel to cover his nose and mouth, causing him to suffocate to die, and then created a fake appearance of him at the scene. Is that so?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Yes, yes. At that time, I was obsessed and forced. I, I'm sorry, brother Zhu!" While talking in panic, Liao Lirong actually howled with his sleeves.
Outside the door, Chen Yan held the joints and bones of the sword tightly in her hands, and her star eyes were full of murderousness. Finally, she resisted and rushed in without drawing her sword.
"If you howle like this, I'll punch you in the head." Qin Mubai spoke calmly and indifferently, but he was so scared that Liao Lirong's whole body suddenly closed his voice and did not dare to squeak casually.
"I ask you, who ordered you to do this? Who is your upper hand? Qin Mubai asked.
"This, this humble position can't be said!" Liao Lirong opened his mouth in embarrassment, looked at Qin Mubai in panic and trembling, and hurriedly turned his eyes.
"You are afraid that you will be killed by revenge after you say it, right?" Qin Mubai sneered, "Have you figured out that if you don't say anything, I can bury you alive now?"
"I, I said, I said!" Liao Lirong hurriedly said, just like pouring beans into a bamboo tube--
"My Shangfeng General Qin also knows Cheng Songnian, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Ma Kun, the governor of Jiangzhou. In fact, the two of them are not the culprits behind the case, and they are also obeying orders. The biggest backer behind us is Shengnan waiting for Zhang Tianci! Last year, a huge amount of money was allocated to repair the embankment, and Cheng Songnian was the first to report to Zhang Tianci. Then, some of the senior officials above them divided half of the money, and the remaining half... The humble position and some minor officials each divided a little. Originally, my brother Zhu Chengwen also had a copy, but he refused and scolded me angrily. For this reason, I was so ashamed that I wanted to return the money, but I was threatened with my life by Cheng Songnian and others... I had no choice but to secretly accept the money and become their minions from then on.
"Let me remind you first that you have no face to call Zhu Chengwen your brother." Qin Mubai said, "In addition, I want to ask you, according to what you just said, you have divided more than half of the 50 million yuan, but at least there are still 10 or 20 million yuan flowing to your county government. The income and expenditure of this money should be recorded. Where is the account book now?
"This... I really don't know about this." Liao Lirong shook his head at a loss, "Brother Zhu... Oh, the money received by the county magistrate at that time was actually only five million yuan, which was not enough at all. He was ready to sue the court at that time. However, he was persuaded by Cheng Songnian and others. From then on, Zhang Tianci had a murderous intention towards him. I also heard Cheng Songnian's instructions, asking me to find a stubble to sue Zhu Chengwen, ask him to get out of the Jishan County government, and then promote me to be the county magistrate. However, after the bribery, Zhu Chengwen didn't trust me so much. He was always wary of me, and I never had a chance. Cheng Songnian kept urging me, saying that at the beginning of the next spring, even if it is planted, I will sue and take Zhu Chengwen away. Who knew that it was only a few days... The flood broke out! The general will know what happened later.
"In this way, Zhu Chengwen really knew a lot of things about you and refused to share the dirty with you. It happened that the flood broke out again. Zhang Tianci, Cheng Songnian and others were afraid that the flood would cause the court to thoroughly investigate the construction of the dike, so they ordered you to murder him, right? At the same time, you imitated his handwriting and wrote a suicide note of "suicide for fear of crime", and issued a county government decree in his name to force the people of the whole city to move out of Jishan City, right? Qin Mubai said.
"Yes... Yes, General Qin is as careful as God, and everything is just as you said." Liao Lirong's face was white and sweating coldly. He lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
"I'll kill you!!!"
At this moment, a scream full of sadness and anger suddenly came from the door, and a dark shadow swept in like lightning. The cold light flashed, and a sharp sword pointed straight to Liao Lirong's throat, full of infinite murder and hatred, stabbed it!
