Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?
Chapter 442: Please Investigate
Isn’t it just arresting some people?
How big of a commotion will it be?
As for that damned legal advisor, he didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, the prefect here should thank them!
Otherwise, he would have no chance of gaining real power.
He soon realized that he was too naive last night.
As soon as daybreak came, there was a commotion outside.
Leng Yuning had just woken up with sleepy eyes when she saw people in the yard coming in hurriedly to report.
"What?" Leng Yuning only then realized that the big commotion that her younger sister and the others had talked about yesterday was actually this big.
With the mood of watching a good show, he quickly dressed himself and ran straight to the city gate with the men who came to report the news.
When Leng Yuning arrived, a lot of people had already gathered at the city gate.
They were stopped by soldiers at the periphery and were not allowed to approach.
But they could still see everything on the city gate clearly.
He swallowed unconsciously.
Looking at the bloody corpse in front of me with only the head visible, I felt sick all over.
He knew who was behind this without having to tell him.
I couldn't help but re-position my little sister in my mind.
Fortunately, although there were many people hanging on the city gate, only Master Gu was like this.
The other members of the Gu family were simply hung up in their underwear with things stuffed in their mouths.
Perhaps Leng Youran was afraid that the people would panic.
He even kindly wrote down Master Gu's crimes on long pieces of white cloth.
Like banners, they were hung in the most conspicuous place at the city gate.
From a distance, it is a unique scenery.
As for the prefect on the city wall, he could feel that he was sweating with anxiety.
The little sister's skill in hanging people was really amazing. I don't know how she did it. She used a rope that was about to break to tie up a bunch of people.
As a result, the prefect and his men wanted to pull them up from the city wall, but they didn't dare to pull hard.
With so many lives at stake, the prefect naturally wouldn't dare act rashly.
Besides, he knew the skills of the yamen runners under his command.
There was no way they could have freed them from the walls alone.
After a while, he saw the prefect give an order to the person next to him, and a soldier rode away on horseback after receiving the order.
Looking at the direction he left, it was definitely the military camp.
Seeing this, Leng Yuning lost interest and was about to leave when the prefect's voice came from the high wall.
"Everyone, don't panic. However, in order to quickly identify the perpetrators of the master's persecution, the city gates will be closed for the next few days. No one is allowed to go out unless necessary. Anyone who encounters anyone acting suspiciously must report it truthfully."
His voice fell.
The people began to scornfully voice their opinions.
"Oh, and you're still asking for justice for this master. What a joke! I think this master deserves it."
"Exactly. I think it's a great honor for a person like that to die like this. He should be hacked into pieces."
"Who says it's not true? I was wondering why my niece came to visit me a few days ago and disappeared after leaving. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she must have been harmed by this Master Gu!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Such speculation is becoming more and more common among the public.
It’s not that the people want to think this way, but the crimes written in blood on the white cloth on the city wall are too clear.
Even as small as abusing his power for personal gain.
It was so serious that he dared to use the prefect's seal to increase taxes, and it was clearly written.
He revealed almost all of his master's secrets.
The prefect on the city wall couldn't describe how he felt at this moment. He felt relieved that he was no longer under control, but he was also afraid of being blamed by his superiors.
He lowered his voice and continued to speak to the crowd below: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. This prefect will definitely investigate these matters thoroughly, don't worry."
"How can we be assured? Apart from other things, isn't it that Your Excellency knows about the increase in taxes?"
"Yes, sir, please don't deceive us. We know that you have been deceived by him. We only hope that you can revise these unreasonable treaties and conduct a thorough investigation into the crimes committed by Master Gu during his lifetime."
"I implore you to conduct a thorough investigation and not let such a criminal go free."
"I implore you to investigate in detail."
"I implore you to investigate in detail."
"I implore you to investigate in detail."
Such voices continued to reach the ears of the prefect.
The prefect felt under tremendous pressure, with the people in front of him pressing him and high-ranking officials behind him waiting for his explanation.
At this moment, he even wanted to die on the spot.
It’s a pity that he can’t even die in this situation.
He could only comfort the people below while waving to the officers and soldiers to come forward and stop it.
Little did they know that the more the officers and soldiers acted like this, the more agitated the people became.
Leng Yuning and his men stood in the crowd and added fuel to the fire from time to time.
The charges written by Leng Youran and others were broken down one by one and analyzed for the people.
What those women were captured and harmed?
What's more, Master Gu secretly embezzled the taxes they paid.
In short, they said everything that was unpleasant to the ears, which made the people more and more emotional.
Gradually, there was a commotion among the crowd, and several families who had lost their daughters stood up and asked the prefect to give them justice.
Leng Yuning hid in the crowd and quietly noted down the family whose daughter was missing.
Tell the people next to you to pay attention to where they go.
Even though they cannot be reunited now, there is at least a way out for those women.
This world has many restrictions on women. If his little girl hadn't...
I'm afraid it will...
He didn't want this to happen before his eyes.
He whispered something in the ear of the guard beside him, and the guard quietly left his side.
When they came back, there were a few more people around the farmers who had lost their daughters.
Leng Yuning also quietly disappeared in the crowded crowd.
With so many people around, naturally no one would pay attention to where he was going.
In the secret passage of the house in the south of the city.
When Baldy saw Leng Yuning's figure, he shouted:
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? If you dare to catch me, my boss will never let you go."
Leng Yuning sneered, walked to his side, half squatted, and stretched out his hand. But when he saw his bald head, he withdrew his hand that was about to lift his neck with a little disgust.
"Oh? Really? Your boss?"
"Yes, I, I, I'm telling you, you, you, you, please let me go."
Leng Yuning felt so uncomfortable listening to his stuttering that she felt like she could hardly breathe.
Since he wanted to know more information, I had no choice but to continue chatting with him.
By the time he came out of the secret passage, it was dark.
On the way back, he was still sorting out what Baldy had said.
From what he confessed, we learned that he was not an important member of that group.
This time, for some unknown reason, the boss he mentioned actually handed this matter over to him.
