Chapter 36 Shipbreaking
The chief shopkeeper of Heng Rongchang was also watching from the river bank.
The ability of a big shopkeeper of a business like Heng Rongchang is probably far above that of any official along the Xizi River.
From the very beginning when he encountered an assassination attempt, to carrying out the floating corpse, to showing up as a loving mother, to forcing superior officials with his heart, Lin Xi acted extremely thoughtfully and beautifully, and the character he displayed made him sincerely moved.
Love talents and cherish talents.
However, at this moment, he saw Lin Xi stabbing Xu Chengfeng's body with a sword in front of everyone. This made him extremely shocked, and at the same time, he frowned tightly, and felt extremely disappointed in his heart.
The laws of Yunqin strictly prohibit the use of torture to extract confessions when there is insufficient evidence, let alone such things as assassination and death.
Doing this in broad daylight, in full view of the public, is completely an act of courage, which is completely opposite to the previous beautiful behavior. Moreover, the law of Yunqin strictly prohibits forced confession, which is to prevent the emergence of unjust cases and false cases, and to deal with some mediocre officials who pay attention to evidence in everything.
Compared with those officials who act arbitrarily based on their own feelings, they are even more useless and terrifying. Especially some passionate young people are more likely to do some extremely harmful and bad things because of their own impulses.
Lin Xi's feelings in his heart suddenly fell from the sky to the ground.
It can be said that even if he wanted to help Lin Xi, he couldn't do it at all.
With this sword stabbed openly, it could be said that Lin Xi was no longer worthy of arrest and was already a criminal with heinous crimes.
…
Because of their different positions, the shopkeeper Heng Rongchang was of course extremely rational, but to the onlookers, Lin Xi's sword represented a bloody spirit regardless of life and death.
For Xu Chengfeng, who was directly pierced by his sword, this feeling was naturally even stronger.
"You...how dare you do this?"
Seeing the blood spreading from the sword, Xu Chengfeng, the young master of the Three Towns Company's general family, was still a little unbelievable, "You actually risked your own life for an unrelated person?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Xi looked at Xu Chengfeng indifferently, and began to slowly twitch the sword, letting the cold terror of the sword completely spread into Xu Chengfeng's body: "I don't want my life, do you? If you don't tell me, you will die now.
, I will die with you and do justice to others, and I will not lose anything. Now that you have said it, I think your father will not ignore you, and maybe you still have a chance to survive."
"Lin Xi...you!"
Lien Chanshan, the military academy and other officials had completely changed their expressions, but they did not dare to take a step forward, for fear that Lin Xi's hand would shake slightly and Xu Chengfeng would be killed on the spot. "Quick! Call the doctor to prepare!"
Officials from the Department of Internal Affairs shouted, "Notify Governor Luo!"
Xu Chengfeng's teeth chattered as he felt the cold sword twitching inside his body. Under the most real threat of death, he completely lost his usual indifference and arrogance. He was trembling all over but did not dare to tremble.
Hissed: "They are in the inner cabin of Linglong Boat."
"Linglongfang?"
Lin Xi wanted to ask again, but Du Weiqing, Zhang Erye and others, whose faces had turned white, were already looking towards the row of boats to the south.
There is a painted boat that is white, and on the general arch in front of the boat, there is the word "Linglong" on it.
Lin Xi was a little confused at first, but when he saw the boat in a remote place and the eyes of Du Weiqing and others, he completely understood. He looked at Xu Chengfeng coldly and said: "It turns out that they are so close...those
The woman you kidnapped was only in that boat?"
"Yes...so what...what's the benefit of doing such a thing..." Feeling his blood flowing out continuously, feeling that his body was getting colder and colder, Xu Chengfeng screamed hysterically
He stood up and said, "Don't let me go yet!"
Lin Xi smiled and did not let go of Xu Chengfeng, but said to Du Weiqing and others: "Go and check that exquisite boat."
As soon as he said these words, Gao Zhe and several other people from Yingoufang all collapsed on the ground, their whole bodies trembling.
Seeing the reaction of Gao Zhe and others, Lin Xi turned around and looked at Lien Chanshan and others who could no longer bear to come up and the crowd in the distance who became agitated, and softly said in a comfortable mood: "Go back."
…
The time returned to before the stop, and Lin Xi had just called Du Weiqing and others to stop.
Looking at Gao Zhe, who seemed leisurely and contented, with everyone's puzzled eyes, Lin Xi calmly made a gesture of invitation and said to Gao Zhe: "Boss Gao, please take a step to speak."
"I wonder what you want to ask me alone?"
Gao Zhe followed Lin Xi forward for more than ten steps. When Lin Xi stopped at the edge of the boat, he cupped his hands, smiled slightly, and asked.
"Do you know why I am so confident today?" Lin Xi looked at this confident middle-aged businessman and smiled.
As early as one night when he was escorting Xu Chengfeng, he had already seen that although Xu Chengfeng was cold and stern, it was only because of his status. In fact, Xu Chengfeng was also very greedy and afraid of death. Otherwise, Xu Chengfeng would have changed into a more ruthless role.
Chengfeng could have deliberately caused some injuries on his body to frame him, so that Lian Zhanshan and others could use an excuse to intervene, but Xu Chengfeng did not even dare to do this, and the initiative was completely in his hands.
, everything fell into his steps.
He waited all night, not only for some news and people, but also for his ability to recover.
Now everyone thought he was helpless, but in this big drama, he was already sure of victory!
"You are indeed very courageous. You really regard the safer place as the more dangerous place. Indeed, even if most people searched your entire boat, they would never expect that the person you want is actually on the mezzanine of another owner's boat not far away.
With the ability of a town to make arrests, I searched you here. If you can't find it, I'm afraid there is no way to search other places. Even if there are enough manpower, the superiors will not approve it again." Lin Xi looked at his expression because of his words.
Gao Zhe, who was slightly shocked, said: "If I told you that I already know that you have hidden people in the secret room in Linglongfang over there, would you still be as calm as you are now? Do you still dare to admit that you are this person?
The owner of Tiaohuafang?"
There was a sudden roar in Gao Zhe's head, and his body suddenly softened, and he was about to fall to the ground, but Lin Xi refused to let him fall and stretched out her hand to support him.
Looking at Gao Zhe who had no trace of blood on his face and sweat pouring out all over his body, Lin Xi said seriously: "Since you have dealt with such a thing, you should know that those who seize good people for prostitution and the circumstances are worse will be punished more than those who commit murder."
What’s more, not only will all the main parties involved be executed without delay, but the main criminal’s family members will also be sent to serve in the border army.”
After saying this, Lin Xi paused for a moment, and then asked seriously: "I wonder if you can bear the feeling of being executed by Lingchi, and can you bear to watch all your family members being sent to the frontier army to do hard labor?"
"Master Lin, spare me!"
After Lin Xi finished saying these words, her whole body was already as high as mud, and she let out a cry-like plea.
"You have a chance to escape your guilt slightly. I can at least guarantee that no harm will come to your family." Lin Xi looked at Gao Zhe and said calmly and seriously: "If you want to testify against Xu Chengfeng, the evidence must be conclusive, and you must let the evidence be solid."
He is the kind who can't completely solve the case, otherwise you would also understand that given his status, you will still be the main culprit in the end, and this Silver Hook Fang is still only related to you and has nothing to do with him."
"I have an account book, which is in the mezzanine of the wall of my residence in Donggang Town. It records some of his money transactions." Gao Zhe has almost completely lost the ability to think. The previous calmness and elegance have disappeared from his body.
Cun looked at Lin Xi with dull eyes and said: "Some of the women imprisoned in Linglongfang have passed through his hands. They all know that he is the boss of Linglongfang and can testify against him."
"Okay, calm down a little bit. If someone says you were scared or crazy, your confession will not count, but you will also lose a powerful witness. If you can't bring him down, your family will be affected."
Lin Xi glanced at the middle-aged businessman who was once loyal to Xu Chengfeng without much sympathy, turned around, and walked towards Xu Chengfeng, who still had a sarcastic look on his face, but was slightly puzzled.
Walk towards the river row and everyone on the river bank.
"Xu Chengfeng, Gao Zhe has told the truth, you are the real owner of Yingoufang, and those who were kidnapped by you are all in that exquisite boat!"
He took a deep breath, stretched out his finger, and rowed towards the white boat in the distance. The cold sound spread throughout the entire river bank.
This clear voice, like a thunder, completely shocked everyone.
Just as the eyes of all the people on the river bank involuntarily followed what he pointed at and gathered towards the white boat, Xu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then jumped up with a loud sound and yelled crazily towards Gao Zhe
, "Gao Zhe, you old dog...how dare you frame me!"
"Help me keep an eye on them."
Lin Xi said something to Mr. Zhang next to him who was inexplicably shocked. Without even looking at Lian Zhanshan and the others, he jumped directly from Yingoufang, and the angry screams on the river bank became louder and louder.
Amidst the sound, he walked towards Linglongfang.
…
"What exactly did he say to Gao Zhe that he was able to achieve such a breakthrough?"
On the bank of the river, the shopkeeper Heng Rongchang was also shocked beyond words.
He didn't know that Lin Xi had already used that unique ability and was already sure of victory. At this moment, he was already at a deadlock, but judging from Xu Chengfeng's crazy reaction and the changes in the faces of the important people in Yingoufang, he knew
Things have taken a major turn for the better.
No one dared to stop Lin Xi.
Because he behaves righteously, he will naturally have a kind of majesty and be convinced. Therefore, although Lin Xi is walking alone in front of him at this moment, what he is gathering at this moment is public opinion like an angry wave.
"Crack!"
The door leading to the inner cabin of Linglong Boat was directly beaten to pieces by Lin Xi.
The morning light in Lin Xi's hand spread out, and in the faint blue light, the wooden boat was cut into pieces. Lin Xi immediately dismantled the boat, and everything began to be exposed to the light.
Suddenly, everyone's breathing stopped.
As a wall inside the cabin was split open by Lin Xi, some figures were revealed in it.
Chapter completed!
