Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 1018
Shen Yuyu kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, his eyes moved around uneasily, looking timid and afraid but trying to protect himself.

Jiang Wenwen did not doubt the identity of 'Master Yang' at all, and looked at him with a half-smile.

"If you want to live, then you should listen to me." "Yes, yes, follow the orders of the governor."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Jiang Wenwen gave the order, just as Shen Yue expected. He asked Master Yang to accuse County Magistrate Jia of mistakenly killing Princess Ye, so that he could be cleansed.

'Master Yang' naturally agreed wholeheartedly and swore for fear that Jiang Wenshu wouldn't believe it.

Jiang Wenwen pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"Master Yang, since I have chosen to spare your life, I will naturally trust you."

"Your parents and children are all in my hands, but don't worry, after this matter calms down, I will not only let them go, but I may even help you become the magistrate of Zongyang County.

'Master Yang' was worried at first, then ecstatic, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, thank you Lord Governor, I will go through fire and water without making any mistakes." But in his heart, he cursed the dog official, who easily accepts this and that official position. Do you really think of yourself as a figure?
However, this alone is enough to prove that his backer in the capital must be a high-ranking person. I am really becoming more and more curious about who this person is.

After coaxing and threatening Master Yang, Jiang Wenwen asked Master Yang to leave.

After Master Yang left, Scarface came over with his head lowered.

"Sir, Magistrate Jia's affairs have been arranged. Do you want to do something about Lengjia Village?"

He didn't want to ask this question either. He hoped Jiang Wenwen would forget about it.

But as Jiang Wensheng's right-hand man, if he didn't ask, he would definitely make Jiang Wenwen suspicious, so he could only speak with an air of dedication and loyalty.

Jiang Wenwen was eating and drinking freely, and he was very happy that he had killed Princess Ye.

He put a piece of pork into his mouth, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then spoke with a smile on his face.

"Do it, of course."

"Didn't Princess Ye give them thousands of taels of silver? She robbed them of the silver and burned the village to ashes!"

"Without further ado, you will take people to do it tonight."

After hearing some words, Shadow almost pulled out fire from his fists.

This Jiang Wenshi was greedy and wanted to slaughter Lengjia Village for no other reason than to get a few taels of silver.

This kind of gangster-like behavior is exactly the same as that of Zhu Xiangyu, Kunwu and other robbers. They are ruthless and unscrupulous. Huang Fuyan likes people like this the most, and they must be his subordinates.

It was naturally impossible for Shadow to agree. The task assigned to him by the princess was to persuade Jiang Wenwen to give up the massacre of Lengjiacun without leaving any trace.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he hurriedly said: "It's dark and windy tonight, which is indeed suitable for murder and arson. However, we need to pass through two or three villages on the way to Lengjia Village. Holding a torch will inevitably attract people's attention, so I will take a few brothers to go in the dark." Go."

Jiang Wenwen couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and looked out the window as dark as ink.

“On this day, it’s hard to go in the dark.”

Shadow said with a loyal look on his face:
"But if someone sees him holding a torch, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? After all, if the entire Lengjia Village suddenly falls into flames, there will definitely be a lot of noise and a big sensation."

"The Night King is a nosy person. Once he gets involved in this matter, his fault will definitely be exposed." These two sentences aroused Jiang Wenwen's deep fear.

He understands the Night King's nosy behavior better than anyone else. He had dealt with the Night King in Tongzhou back then.

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that it was not worth it for 1000 taels of silver. If he was really implicated in this matter, it would be a small gain.

"That's all." Jiang Wenwen gave up the idea. Originally, he had no grudge against Lengjiacun, he was just trying to make money.

Before he became an official, he had been in the street. Those who work in their profession would not let go of 1000 taels of silver, let alone 100 taels.

But no matter how greedy you are, you still know how to weigh the pros and cons, and you can't do anything that is not good for you even if you tie your hands and feet.

After listening to Jiang Wenshu's words, Shadow took a long breath and relaxed.

"I made some mistakes during this trip." Jiang Wenwen narrowed his triangular eyes, "It would be great if I didn't come to Zongyang this time."

He had received news early in the morning that after Princess Ye returned to China after defeating Dali, she took only two followers, a man and a woman, back to Beijing via the eastern path, so he paid close attention to this matter.

It wasn't until the news about Lengjia Village reached his ears that he determined that those outsiders must be Princess Ye and his party, and immediately rushed to Zongyang County.

And in order to save time, he sent Scarface to rush to Zongyang County first.

If he knew that Princess Ye was so easy to deal with, there would be no need for him to make this trip and just let Scar take care of it.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, I just hope this method can clean myself up.

Shadow naturally knew what Jiang Wenwen was regretting, and said with relief, "What if you have been to Zongyang County, sir? You have no grudges against Princess Ye, and no one has any reason to doubt you."

After Jiang Wenwen heard this sentence of relief, he felt much more relaxed, and a hint of pride appeared in his triangular eyes.

"This is true. I have never offended King Ye and Princess Ye, and I am loyal to the official family. I will only use my life to protect Princess Ye, so how can I murder her?
The shadow's fist couldn't help but clenched tightly again. This thing that looked gentle but was comparable to a demon would have been hard to see clearly without this trip.

My heart was filled with hatred, but my mouth respectfully agreed.

"Yes, sir, this matter will not involve you, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Wenwen put down his chopsticks, pinched his sharp chin, and smiled greedily.

"That being the case, can I still ask for a favor from the Night King?"

"Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will send people to fish out the bodies of Princess Ye and Princess Ye from the river. After that, they will interrogate the case of Magistrate Jia accidentally killing Princess Ye. After the trial, they will send people to report to His Highness the Night King~~"

Shadow echoed: "My lord, what you said makes sense. If you can uphold justice for the dead Night Princess, His Highness the Night King will definitely value you more."

Although Jiang Wenwen had read books and had been a governor for so long, he was a robber and would not consider many things so carefully.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have attempted to massacre the village for a few taels of silver! The situation is too small after all.

At this moment, when he heard that he could claim credit in front of the Night King, his face turned purple with excitement and he said grandly:
"Then let it be like this. Tomorrow the Japanese magistrate will personally try the case of Magistrate Jia's manslaughter of Princess Ye. He will definitely not let Princess Ye die like this."

If he were not eager to take credit, he originally planned to leave Zongyang County tonight, and would not even interfere with the fact that Magistrate Jia committed suicide out of fear of guilt.
