Chapter 34, Assassination! Wanted by the Empire!
The bailiffs gritted their teeth, wishing they could skin this beast alive.
They could even imagine how helpless and desperate the girls who were captured were when they were humiliated.
He Chuan was also filled with anger.
He never thought that.
He would be able to dig out such an inside story from this young master.
He also never thought that the dynasty had already rotted to such a degree.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were all a jerk!
“Lord Zhang… I have already finished speaking.”
“Actually, when you took office, our family already sent someone to send a message over. Who knew that you would… do something so incorruptible and reject my father.”
“Sigh, why are you trying to confront the higher-ups?”
“Listen to my advice. This is called go with the flow, you can’t change it by yourself.”
“I came here this time because my father asked me to bring two boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry to show my respect to you.”
“Don’t worry! This Qingyuan County will definitely still be under your control in the future. As long as you don’t stop my family… Hehe, when the time comes those higher-ups were full, won’t you also have a share of the credit?”
The young master smiled sheepishly as he fawned over him.
Looking at He Chuan deep in thought, he felt that this matter was already more than half done.
As long as this Zhang Muzhi was a smart person, he definitely wouldn’t refuse such a request.
Hehe.
After you agree, see how I’ll use my connections to deal with you when I get back!
He felt the constant pain in his waist, hips, and legs.
A trace of resentment flashed through his eyes.
But at this moment.
Creak.
The door of the government office was suddenly opened.
A large group of people gathered outside.
They were excited.
They were shouting that they wanted to kill him.
What was going on?
The young master was stunned, “Lord Zhang, you…”
“Who told you that my name is Zhang Muzhi?”
He Chuan put on a fake smile, “Now that everyone has heard what you said, as long as I don’t do anything, you will be trampled by everyone and beaten to death.”
The young master’s expression changed, “You’re not Zhang Muzhi? Then who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am.” He Chuan slowly approached with his hands behind his back, “What’s important is that you have to tell me the names of those who participate in the human trafficking chain.”
“Bah!” The young master suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. “In your dreams!”
“Why do you act like I’m the villain?”
He Chuan fluttered away and smiled lightly, “It won’t be that simple. Bring the torture instruments and the medicine box!”
The bailiffs moved quickly.
Soon, dozens of torture instruments of different shapes were brought into the hall and arranged in several rows in front of the young master.
“I forgot to tell you.”
He Chuan gently rubbed his wrist, picked up the medicine box, and squatted down beside the young master, “Apart from martial arts, I also have good attainments in medical arts. Well, I’m not very good, but I can guarantee that you won’t die after enjoying all the torture instruments.”
The young master’s expression was dull.
“Let’s see, where should we start…”
“No… No! ! ! !”
The young master cried out, “You’re not a human, you’re a devil! A devil! ! !”
He Chuan stopped talking.
He opened the medicine box and dug out the bottles and jars inside.
He casually sprinkled a bottle of pale yellow medicine powder on the young master’s wound.
Soon, the young master only felt a numbing sensation on his wound.
It didn’t seem to hurt as much.
This wasn’t a good thing.
This meant that He Chuan really had that kind of ability!
He really had to endure the torture of dozens of torture instruments!
He was born into a wealthy family, and he hadn’t even bumped into on a daily basis. How could he withstand such an injury?
A fishy smell spread out.
Unknowingly, he had already been scared to the point of incontinence.
“I’ll speak!!”
The young master cried out.
He Chuan’s hand paused, and he looked at him with a smile.
“A wise choice.”
Very quickly, following the young master’s narration, a list of names was obtained by He Chuan.
“Even Lin County has been infiltrated.”
He Chuan was very surprised.
One had to know that the Imperial Capital was thousands of Li away from here.
To travel by modern means of transportation would take at least a few months to arrive!
For a county to be able to bribe, one could imagine that this industrial chain had been formed for many years. It was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight.
The further down the list, the more prominent the people that appeared.
They were all existences that acted as protective umbrellas.
Among them, the one with the highest position was actually the Senior Grand Secretary1!
This was an existence that was below one person and above ten thousand people.
He did not expect that he would be covering up for such an illegal industry. It was truly unexpected.
Looking at the half-dead young master, He Cuan decided to give him a quick death. He would use his inner qi to break his heart and end his sinful life.
“You’re really lucky.”
He Chuan snorted coldly. He did not have the slightest bit of pity and directly end the life of the other two guards.
Since he had already offended this family, killing a few more would not make a difference.
But the news would definitely be unable to be sealed.
Many people knew that this young master had come to Qingyuan County. It was estimated that it would not be long before his backers would be alerted.
Rather than waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack!
Thus, He Chuan colluded with the people who came to watch. If someone came to ask if the young master had come to Qingyuan County in the future, they would all say no.
After that, he threw the bodies of the young master and the guards in the area where the bandits were running rampant, creating the illusion that they were being killed.
This way, not only would they be able to completely conceal the truth, they could at least temporarily hold back the investigation process of the other party and confuse the public.
After dealing with the follow-up matters.
He Chuan carried out the assassination according to the people on the list.
At the start, they were just small officials like the county magistrate. The dynasty did not pay too much attention to them and randomly sent a few secret police forces to investigate.
However, as the rank of the officials who were assassinated became higher and higher, the news of a chivalrous hero doing good for the people started to spread.
Some people could not sit still anymore.
After being reported to the higher authorities, the imperial court finally put up a generous reward and began to send out martial artists to carry out a large-scale arrest.
