The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 216 Wang Jingyuan on Trial

Sitting in the prison cell of Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Jingyuan's anxious heart gradually calmed down.

He was imprisoned for fighting. At first, he was thinking that they might find out about the Golden Knife incident, but he found that the group of people were just a bunch of good-for-nothings and that they couldn't find anything. He was told that he would be released after a few days in jail.

Only then did I feel relieved.

Wang Jingyuan frowned as he thought about what he would do after he got out.

Chun Tao, his childhood sweetheart, caught the eye of the leader of the Golden Knife Sect, who wanted to take her as his concubine.

Na Chuntao also felt that the leader had a better future, so she tore up his marriage certificate and slept with the leader.

He overheard someone mentioning this while drunk, so he beat up the person who was gossiping and ended up in jail.

He harbored considerable resentment over this matter, and considered either killing the commander with a single blow or reporting the Golden Knife directly to the authorities.

However, no matter what he does, he can't escape responsibility.

I've made a lot of money working for the leader over the years, but I also feel like I'm living a life on the edge of a knife.

Jin Dao was taught metallurgical skills by a deceased senior, and his metallurgical abilities were unmatched. The craftsmanship of weapons was mostly based on his guidance.

With this ability, one could make a living by doing legitimate business.

However, once you've embarked on this path, it won't be easy to clear your name.

At that moment, someone summoned him.

Those in his line of work are exceptionally perceptive; the moment someone summons him, a hundred possibilities immediately come to mind.

The jailer chained his hands and feet, and without saying where he was going, simply took him away.

He thought he was going to be interrogated, but he was unexpectedly escorted away from Shuntian Prefecture.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

It should be noted that Shuntian Prefecture generally handles cases related to public security, and taking him out would be somewhat unwise.

Could it be that all his deeds have been exposed?

He felt increasingly uneasy until he arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Justice, thinking to himself, "This is it, I'm in big trouble now."

The Ministry of Justice officials took him directly into an interrogation room and ordered him to kneel down.

He looked up and saw a man and a woman sitting on the high table in front of him.

He found it strange; weren't all the interrogating officials men? Why was there a woman among them?

When I saw the woman's face, I was momentarily stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Could she be a fairy descended from heaven?

Qin Wanying sat in a high position and exchanged a glance with Wei Hongwen, who was sitting at another table next to her.

Then he looked at Wang Jingyuan.

[This Wang Jingyuan has truly had a tragic fate. His parents died early, he was a petty thief in his childhood, and ultimately went astray.]

Wei Hongwen listened intently.

He was quite happy when he learned that he would be interrogating prisoners with Qin Wanying.

He can hear Qin Wanying's inner thoughts, and he'll get to know more gossip than others.

Actually, Wei Hongwen didn't think he was this gossipy before.

Ever since I became friends with Le Xiuyuan, it seems like everything has changed.

[That Golden Knife Commander is truly inhuman! He actually stole his childhood sweetheart as a concubine, and they're already in bed together...]

Wei Hongwen remained expressionless, secretly marveling at the sight.

Today was definitely worth the trip! I heard such amazing information!

Wang Jingyuan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Qin Wanying looking at him.

The woman was clearly very young, but when he looked at her, it was as if she could see through everything about him, as if she had all his secrets.

"You should know why you're here. Speak," Qin Wanying said coldly.

Wang Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I've really been exposed?

However, he knew the interrogation techniques of the Ministry of Justice; these people were adept at bluffing.

"My lord, I was drunk and lost my senses when I got into the fight. I know I was wrong..." Wang Jingyuan said in a panic.

"You know that's not what I'm asking about," Qin Wanying said calmly, interrupting Wang Jingyuan.

“I am already aware that you are manufacturing and selling weapons privately.”

Wang Jingyuan's face paled slightly.

Do you really know? How exactly did you find out?

"The real reason you fought was that the leader of the Golden Knife gang stole your childhood sweetheart as a concubine, and some people were talking about it after drinking, so you beat them up."

Wang Jingyuan's pupils dilated.

How on earth did she know?

The person he fought with definitely didn't tell anyone about this; that person had been locked up in the cell next to his.

Moreover, she even knew the name of the organization!

"Do you really want to be loyal to such a leader?" Qin Wanying continued, her voice seemingly carrying a seductive tone.

"Actually, I admire your abilities. You learned metallurgical skills from the predecessors of Jin Dao. If your abilities were used for the right purpose, they would be limitless. If you are willing to repent and help the court to eliminate Jin Dao, I will plead with the Emperor. Not only will you not be punished, but you will also be given an important position."

Qin Wanying continued.

Wang Jingyuan opened his eyes wide and looked up at Qin Wanying.

This woman actually knew that he had learned his abilities from his master.

How did she know?!

Were any other members of the Golden Knife Clan captured?

Moreover, every word she said resonated with him.

But can this person's words be trusted?

Would the imperial court really give a position to a guilty man?

Qin Wanying seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Your abilities are special, and Da Yao needs your metallurgical skills."

“I know where your weapons manufacturing base is located; it’s in Shian Town, west of Kyoto.”

However, Shian Town was just one of the dens; Qin Wanying couldn't see where the other dens were.

Wang Jingyuan opened his mouth slightly.

She already knows about Shian Town?

How does she know everything?!

No, she couldn't possibly know everything.

If she knew everything, she wouldn't have asked me anymore.

“I do have some information, but you need to fill in the rest,” Qin Wanying continued.

"If you can help us destroy the golden knife, it will be a great achievement for you."

“Even if you say nothing, we will still destroy the hideout in Shi’an Town. You were just interrogated at the Ministry of Justice, and we destroyed the hideout in Shi’an Town. What do you think your accomplices will think?”

Wang Jingyuan's face turned deathly pale.

They will definitely think that they betrayed them!

Even if he manages to leave the Ministry of Justice, he absolutely cannot return to Jin Dao, and he will be hunted down.

"The leader of the Golden Knife Gang stole your love with his sword. Don't you want revenge?" Qin Wanying continued.

Wang Jingyuan gave a bitter smile.

Do I have any other choice?

"I'll tell you everything."

Wei Hongwen, who was standing next to Qin Wanying, gave her a strange look.

I originally thought it would be quite difficult to get anything out of Wang Jingyuan.

He was prepared for a long and drawn-out battle.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wanying got him to talk after just a few words.

As expected of his boss, he's really something!

Wang Jingyuan told Wei Hongwen everything he knew, making Wei Hongwen's scalp tingle.
