Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 226: There is progress
After breakfast, Yang Qian went to the secret room of the Patrol Case Division to see Huang Yuan.

This guy really looked as hopeless as Feng Song said, even more depressed than before when he couldn't bear the punishment.

"Why? Do you think it's surprising that Bai Yuan sent someone to kill you as well?"

Huang Yuan didn't raise his head, but twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "What a bullshit! They are all f*cking cannibals. They won't feel at ease until I die!"

"I checked the laws. Your crime is enough to exterminate three clans. But you have the opportunity to make amends for your crime. You have no chance of surviving, but your two children who are less than ten years old may survive."

"What did you say?!"

"Don't get excited, it's just a 'maybe'. But most likely you will still be exiled. You may die on the road, or die in a border town, or even survive. It all depends on fate. Do you understand?"

Yang Qian was not fooling Huang Yuan. This was indeed written in the laws of the Hongwu Dynasty. Most crimes actually left a little room for change. Especially for the "guilt by association", there was sometimes a chance of survival.

This was a sudden idea Yang Qian came up with after he heard Feng Song talk about Huang Yuan's mental state while having breakfast in the morning.

Before, it was pure corporal punishment, but now with the possibility of "making up for one's crime and helping his offspring survive", it will inevitably have a new impact on Huang Yuan.

"Yang Qian, don't lie to me!"

"Huang Yuan, you are also a captain of police, can't you think for yourself? Don't tell me you can't even memorize the laws?"

Although Huang Yuan was a bastard, he was familiar with the laws. Even if he couldn't memorize all of them, he could remember most of them. Naturally, he understood what the law of "making up for one's crime while serving one's sentence" meant. He also understood that this law was not a strict order, but was applied flexibly, requiring discretion during investigation and trial. If he didn't mention it, no one would care.

So, to put it nicely, he has the "right to choose", but in reality it is still in Yang Qian's hands.

Seeing Huang Yuan didn't say anything, Yang Qian didn't rush to speak, but continued: "I don't know if you know the man who came yesterday. I can't call out his name, but I know his cultivation level, at least he is at the Jindan stage.

But he is dead, and I cut off his head. Now his body is kept in the charity hall of the Patrol Office.

Didn't you say I couldn't beat them? For the moment it seems like you said the opposite.

And you'd better pray that I win, otherwise your little family won't even have the chance to be "exiled to the border town" and will only be wiped out by a fire or an inexplicable robbery."

Talking about the massacre last night, not only Huang Yuan looked up with horror on his face, but Feng Song beside him also felt the same.

Apart from anything else, although the two did not see the specific process of the killing, the fact that the entire dungeon had turned into an ice cellar in the end, and the aftermath of the previous attack had directly destroyed the iron door, had far exceeded their understanding of the word "killing".

This is almost a display of the power of heaven and earth.

Little Immortal Master? Pah! Little Immortal Master definitely doesn’t have such an outrageous ability.

What is the Jindan realm? According to legend, he can live for 300 years! But now his head was cut off and placed on the chopping board to be pickled with lime. And the one who killed him was Yang Qian in front of him.

What is Yang Qian's cultivation level? He should be at least at the Jindan stage, right?
Thinking of this, Feng Song and Huang Yuan swallowed their saliva at the same time.

"It was Bai Yuan. He found me privately and asked me to find a way to get rid of Liao Yong. So I went to find Liao Yong's brother-in-law. That guy is a gambler. He would sell his parents as long as he could have money to gamble.

As for the money in Liao Yong’s house, it was not given by me. It should have been arranged by Bai Yuan.

The subsequent death of Liao Yong’s family had nothing to do with me.

Afterwards, Bai Yuan fulfilled his promise and let me take the position of the head of the Xuanzi Banner. After that, he often asked me to handle some obviously problematic cases. Either delaying or reversing the case. "Did you also handle the case in which Wu Youliang, the young master of Hongyunfa Carriage and Horse Shop, raped a woman and threw her son to death?"

"Yes, that was the first case Bai Yuan asked me to handle. All the things in it were handled by the Wu family later. I acknowledged them as soon as I received them, and then reversed Liao Yong's previous conclusion on the case to help Wu Youliang get rid of the crime."

Maybe he finally figured it out, but Huang Yuan didn't say a word and answered all the questions. He explained all the truth of the case and the important people involved in it clearly.

"Are there any accounts, confessions, or other physical evidence?"

"There were some originally. At the time, I was also worried that the past would be brought up later, so I did not destroy the files Liao Yong had made and all the evidence. I wanted to keep them as a backup. But not long after, the evidence building burned down. All the files and other remains from that time were gone."

Yang Qian rubbed his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard this.

Although he had expected this and thought that Huang Yuan might not be able to produce evidence of a single kill, when the result turned out to be as expected, Yang Qian still felt a bit overwhelmed.

In the series of cases, both Huang Yuan and the Wu family did a very rough job. If you are serious, it is not too difficult to trace the thread all the way.

But when it comes to the critical point, they suddenly cut off the firewood from under the cauldron. All the previous loopholes were cut off at once, and it was obviously impossible to draw an ironclad conclusion.

Huang Yuan is a strong witness, but it is a dream to think that you can bring down a big shot like Bai Yuan based solely on Huang Yuan's confession.

All we can say is that there has been great progress, but it is still a long way from being truly finalized.

However, Yang Qian changed the subject and turned to other cases that Huang Yuan was handling later.

"What other cases have you helped Bai Yuan solve after the reconstruction of the evidence building? Have you ever been able to seize his possessions?"

Huang Yuan had long guessed that Yang Qian's purpose in dealing with him was to dig deeper, and Bai Yuan would be the first to bear the brunt. But after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"No?" Yang Qian was a little surprised.

“No. Bai Yuan was very careful every time, and only gave verbal instructions, and never got involved in anything.

In fact, Lord Yang didn't need to try to find any dirt on Bai Yuan. He was very cautious. If we really talked about "innocence", Bai Yuan might be cleaner than 90% of the officials in Jizhou Prefecture.

In fact, it is better to investigate Hongyunfa Horse and Carriage Company instead of Bai Yuan. The Wu family is the big fish. If the case you are focusing on can be pushed forward, it will be a good move. "

Just as he said this, there was a knock on the door. Feng Song went out for a while and came back soon.

"Sir, Deputy Hu from the Imperial City Guard has arrived and is waiting in the courtyard of our Patrol Office."

Hearing this, Yang Qian quickly stood up and prepared to go out. When he reached the door, Huang Yuan called him back.

"Master Yang, please, please help me find a person who can redeem himself from his crime. It will be good if one of my two children survives!"

Yang Qian nodded, but didn't respond. To be honest, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Huang Yuan's family being wiped out. It didn't really matter whether the two kids under ten were executed or sent to the border town.

Just a thought. Yang Qian was not going to deny this exchange.
