Chapter 58: Panic-stricken Zhang Qingquan
When they arrived outside the lobby, they took a quick glance and saw the thirty-six Japanese pirates kneeling on the ground. They were basically covered in blood, with large pieces of their clothes torn.
Obviously, the process of catching this group of people is not that easy.
"Pass the message. All soldiers who participated in the capture of the Japanese pirates tonight will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the commander will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver."
Xia Yun gave the reward order with a serious face.
"Take these guys away and torture them severely. Make sure they confess who ordered them to do this."
At this time, Xia Yun's voice was extremely cold, and his eyes were full of murderous determination.
He is not a cruel person.
But he had no mercy on these inhumane Japanese pirates.
In fact, from the moment these Japanese pirates were captured and brought into the government office, their death was doomed.
"Yes, my lord!"
After receiving the order, Jiang Wenzhong immediately ordered his men to take all 36 Japanese pirates to the dungeon.
These thirty-six Japanese pirates were seriously injured and their mouths were blocked tightly.
Therefore, when facing Xia Yun, they couldn't even speak.
After a while, Zhang Yuandao and his group were the only ones left outside the lobby.
As for these people, Xia Yun did not demand too much or blame them. He quickly had them taken away to take a bath, change clothes, and treat their injuries.
Before we knew it, dawn arrived and a red sun rose slowly from the horizon.
"Wan'er, pass down the order. Everything that happened last night must be kept secret. No one is allowed to leak any information."
In the courtyard, Xia Yun felt the warm sunshine, a gentle smile appearing on his relaxed face.
"Don't worry, sir. The order has been issued and no one will leak the news."
Xu Wan'er, who has always been cautious in her actions, had already issued a gag order before dawn.
"This is the latest report from the court. The 20 dan of disaster relief grain that the court is transporting to Zhejiang will arrive in Hangzhou along with the Imperial Supervisor."
Xu Wan'er continued to speak.
Hearing this, Xia Yun raised his eyebrows and began to calculate the day until the Censor's arrival.
"How much longer?"
"Well... maybe a day or two."
Xia Yun and Xu Wan'er asked and answered each other.
At this moment, outside the yamen, there was suddenly another burst of rapid horse hoof sounds.
"My lord, General Chen and Commander Chong Black Fox are back!"
Soon a servant came to report.
Xia Yun immediately put away his relaxed thoughts and quickly reappeared in the lobby.
"Following the order of the Lord, we have successfully captured Jiangning Prefecture's garrison commander Zhong Mingren! In addition, we also captured this guy in Jiangning Prefecture."
The first time Chong Heihu saw Xia Yun, he immediately knelt down on one knee.
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers escorted a burly middle-aged man to the lobby, along with a bearded man in official uniform.
The moment Xia Yun saw this man, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It was because this bearded man was no one else but Zhang Qingquan, the fifth-rank judge of the Zhejiang Governor's Office!
"Isn't this Lord Zhang? Why is he here?"
Looking at the two people who were tied up, Xia Yun suddenly felt like joking.
Zhong Mingren and Zhang Qingquan had their mouths blocked and could not make any sound at all. They could only stare at Xia Yun with eyes full of hatred.
Seeing this, Xia Yun said nothing and immediately gave orders to Chong Heihu.
"Throw these two people into the dungeon and torture them severely until they tell the truth about everything."
Xia Yun grinned, his smile was exceptionally bright.
Things are getting more interesting.
The fifth-rank judge of the Zhejiang Governor's Office was actually involved with a general who was suspected of collusion.
What this means is foreseeable without much explanation.
"What is the current situation in Jiangning Prefecture?"
After the two were taken away by Chong Heihu, Xia Yun turned his head and looked at Chen Jingzhong and asked.
"In reply to your words, I have already informed the Governor-General of this matter. Jiangning Prefecture has now been controlled by the Governor-General's troops. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will in the short term."
Chen Jingzhong responded quickly.
Hearing this, Xia Yun nodded.
It was impossible for such a big event to happen in Jiangning Prefecture without being noticed.
Especially the local officials in Jiangning Prefecture, they would definitely know the news that Zhong Mingren was kidnapped at the first time.
Only by using the power of the army and firmly sealing off Jiangling Prefecture can we effectively prevent the spread of news.
At the same time, in the dungeon of the prefectural government office.
Zhang Qingquan and Zhong Mingren, who were thrown into a dungeon for the first time in their lives, had indignant looks on their faces.
At this moment, there was only panic and fear.
There is no other reason.
The dungeon, which was not very big to begin with, was now filled with screams and wails.
Thirty-six Japanese pirates were undergoing brutal torture. The scene was so bloody that even Zhong Mingren felt terrified.
At the same time, in another scene, more than a dozen smelly, festering corpses were piled together, some of which had been disemboweled, with internal organs and blood spilling all over the ground.
The picture is as disgusting as it can be.
The pungent stench hit them, and Zhong Mingren and Zhang Qingquan almost vomited out the food they had eaten yesterday.
This was the first time that the two of them felt fear of Xia Yun.
They had never imagined that beneath the other party's seemingly gentle appearance, there was such a bloody and violent side hidden.
"By your Excellency's order, torture the two men severely until they tell the whole truth."
While Zhang Qingquan and the other man were stunned, they were escorted to two wooden stakes.
Obviously, their next fate was to be tied to a pillar and experience a nightmarish torture.
Although Zhang Qingquan had a rough appearance, he was used to a life of luxury and could not endure such torture.
Therefore, as soon as the gags in the mouths of the two men were removed, Zhang Qingquan begged for mercy on the spot.
"Please inform the Lord that I have something else to report!"
Zhang Qingquan was completely panicked, with an expression of extreme fear on his face.
Seeing the two yamen runners hesitate, Zhang Qingquan, a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, even knelt down on the spot.
Seeing this, the two yamen runners showed a slight smile of success on their faces, and then took Zhang Qingquan, who was kneeling on the ground, out again.
Only Zhong Mingren, after a fierce struggle in his heart, did not choose to beg for mercy.
As the saying goes, if you seek benevolence, you will obtain benevolence.
The other two yamen runners did not show any mercy and directly tied Zhong Mingren to a wooden stake.
After a while, a new scream was heard in the dungeon.
……
"Sir, I was confused and took the wrong road. I hope you will have mercy and let me go!"
Zhang Qingquan returned to the ground and was taken to the lobby again.
The first time Zhang Qingquan saw Xia Yun, he burst into tears and acted as if he was sincerely repenting.
Even though Xia Yun was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel amused and helpless after seeing Zhang Qingquan like this.
Zhang Qingquan is indeed quite capable to be so thick-skinned.
"As long as you explain everything clearly, it won't be difficult to let you go."
As soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, he slammed the gavel on the spot!
