Chapter 74 The Betrayal (Part 2)

In Jiangcheng County, it is dark and it is already dark.

Seeing that there were fewer pedestrians on the street, one of them sneakily poked his head out of the yard, then looked around for a few more times, and then he was careful to go out of the outside world. Unexpectedly, just two steps, a man wearing a hat flashed from the side, and pulled him, which scared him so much that he almost screamed.

It was not until the other party raised his head slightly and revealed the familiar face under the hat that the person swallowed the screams that came to his mouth and replaced them with a more nervous speech: "Zhuang... Mr. Zhuang, why are you back?"

The person who came was Zhuang Qiang. The speed of the carriage was much faster than that of the donkey carriage. Before it was dark, he let him enter the city and found the subordinate who had been with him. On the way he came, he had slowly calmed down and knew that he might fall into the trap after returning to Jiangcheng. He did not dare to speak out and changed his clothes.

The two of them quickly retreated to the small courtyard and spoke almost at the same time:

"Uncle, you'd better leave quickly. The county government has issued a notice to capture you..."

"How is my brother doing now? What's going on in my family?"

The two of them had their own meals. After their eyes met, they replied: "You guy, don't know anything. Now many people in the city are talking bad about you and Mr. Zhuang. The brothers who followed you before were all in great trouble. They were either taken to prison or chased and beaten, and they all became rats crossing the street... The little one was so bad that they hid it, so they were fine, but they didn't dare to go out casually. Even if they wanted to find something to eat, they had to go out at night..."

Although he had guessed what the result would be, Zhuang Qiang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The other party calmed down a little before continuing: "The news I heard before was that the county government had sealed all the industries in your family a few days ago. The people in the family who were inseparable from relatives were locked and questioned. Some servants even rebelled and exposed many crimes... This made the crimes on Mr. Zhuang and you even worse!"

"I will make these bastards who are sucking inside and outside, sooner or later I will make them regret it!"

"There is also a notice outside the county government office, which has been sentenced to Master Zhuang's death penalty, and has been reported to the government office, and will be executed in autumn..." As he said that, he swallowed and looked at Zhuang Qiang, "Actually, you are not guilty. As long as you are caught, you may also... So you should leave here quickly when you are not caught."

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he heard this result, Zhuang Qiang's face turned pale and his body began to tremble. This was both angry and because he was really afraid. After a while, he hissed: "Why is no one protecting my brother? Didn't Feng Ping and Wang He always call my brothers brothers before? Now something happened, they were just standing by and watching?"

"I really don't know about this little guy. But I heard that these crimes were all unanimously approved by the county government. I think they have changed their minds, too."

"In this way, there is no way?" After Zhuang Qiang asked this, he saw the other party nodding helplessly, and his heart was completely cold. When he came, he still held hope for what he wanted, but now it seems that everything is for sure. Brother is really unable to save him.

"Uncle, you'd better leave quickly. If someone really finds out, it's too late." The other party persuaded anxiously again. But Zhuang Qiang snorted: "No hurry. Since I'm back, I have to do something to leave."

"What do you...what do you want to do?"

"I originally wanted to save my elder brother, but now it seems that there is no way to do it whether it is black or white, so I can only let the culprit take the back of my elder brother!" As he said that, his eyes were fierce and he gritted his teeth.

"Uncle, you want to kill the official..." The man was so scared that his face was pale, he stepped back, and was about to exclaim.

"Of course it's not to kill the magistrate of Wei, I mean Li Ling. All the things in my family are caused by him. Now he is very carefree and has been a trooper in the county government. I must pay the price!" As he said that, Zhuang Qiang glanced at his subordinate who was still full of panic, "Don't worry, I won't force you to kill someone. Kill a scholar, I'm enough. I just need to stay with you for half a night to raise my spirit."

Under the accumulation of power of Mr. Zhuang, although the other party hesitated for a while, he still agreed.

...

As time goes by, everything is quiet in the small county town.

A yard door slowly opened at this moment, and a figure tiptoed backwards and headed out.

But just as he was about to go out completely, one hand suddenly poked out from the side and pulled him back. Before he screamed, the other hand had already covered his mouth, and then a low voice rang out from the side: "Where are you going?"

"I... I'm really hungry, so I'm thinking about getting some food. Uncle, are you hungry, too?"

"I don't think it's that simple. If you really have no ghosts in your heart, will you be so nervous? Also, what did you put in my water before?"

This person had already started to tremble. It turned out that his little movements had been seen by Zhuang Qiang. At this point, there was no other way. He immediately raised his head and wanted to shout: "Zhuang..." As soon as this shout came out, Zhuang Qiang's hand had already grabbed his neck, and at the same time, a cold light flashed, and a short knife directly penetrated the person's heart.

"Um..." He wanted to scream, but the throat and trachea were pinched tightly, and he could only make a vague and small sound. His body was trembling, but he couldn't even break free from Zhuang Qiang's control. After a while, his body began to twitch, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth and nose...

When he stopped moving, Zhuang Qiang let go and threw him to the ground like throwing garbage, but the gloom in his eyes became heavier.

With the two close friends who defected last night, Zhuang Qiang naturally became more conscientious. He said he was resting here, but in fact he also had the intention of testing his past subordinates. As a result, this guy first put medicine in his own water, and then ran out secretly, probably planning to report to the official to capture him.

Then what else can I say? Just kill it!

However, after the murder, he did not feel any pleasure, but became more and more panicked - what is the betrayal of the relatives? This time he had the most real experience. Even the people who had trusted the most in the past are now betrayed by themselves in order to get rid of the crime and please the government!

After a while of anxiety, Zhuang Qiang finally bit his teeth and made the final decision. He ignored the guy who was corpse in the yard. He quickly discharged from the hospital and closed the door, and then ran straight out along the street of the black squid.

...

At the same time, the Li family.

From the outside, the small yard was quiet and dark, and there was no light in the room. It was obvious that the person had already fallen asleep.

But if someone really pushed the door and entered the room at this moment, they would find that in the dark room, there were five or six big-sleeved, round waists and burly figures. At first glance, they were a trained man. Li Ling, who was already much stronger, would look too weak when he was mixed among these people.

They were the constables in the county government who specialized in catching thieves. At this time, they were all energetic and held the hilt of the knife, saying that if someone dared to come to the door, they would immediately catch them.

A net was already laid here, just waiting for Zhuang Qiang to send it in himself!

Not only inside, but also outside the yard, in the dark corner, there were more than a dozen county corps officers ambushed. As long as Captain Lin gave the order, they would immediately rushed out to arrest people. Zhuang Qiang, the county magistrate directly issued the arrest documents, and it would be a great achievement to catch them!

But in the end, nothing happened in the middle of the night. Not to mention Zhuang Qiang, even half of the thieves appeared.

Seeing that the fourth update was almost over, the sky turned pale, and the people in the room finally couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "Li Dianli, will he really come to the door?"

"Realistically speaking, since Zhuang Qiang is coming back, 80% will come to seek revenge on me. After all, I am the culprit who caused his banker to be completely defeated." Li Ling said this, but his tone was not as sure as before.

Just in the evening when the yamen was about to scatter, two people suddenly came to the county government to surrender, saying that they were the servant of the village house and from Hengzhou City who had followed their second master Zhuangqiang before. After asking more details, they found out that Zhuangqiang actually dared to come back, and the time should be set today.

This made everyone in the county government interested. Zhuang Qiang is now carrying several lives, and dozens of cases of various sizes. If he can be held, he will naturally have made great contributions.

However, when they went to get people together, there was no answer because maybe the people had already entered the city. Jiangcheng County said it was not big, but the population was tens of thousands, so it was extremely difficult to find such a person.

In the end, Li Ling thought of the first level. The other party must have two intentions when he came back, one was to save Zhuang Hong, and the other was to take revenge. Zhuang Hong was in a prison, so he was naturally not something Zhuang Qiang could save just if he wanted to save him, so he was the only one who left to take revenge. In terms of his grudges with Zhuang's maker, the first thing he recommended was Li Ling. After all, he was the cause of everything, and he was the one who pushed the government to strictly handle Zhuang Hong in the end.

Moreover, the other party knew very well about Li Ling’s residence, and there were only him and his sister at home, so it was really not easy to do it.

Lin Lie also felt that what he said was reasonable, so he brought his brothers here to make arrangements and gave Zhuang Qiang a waiter.

But the current result disappointed them, and Zhuang Qiang did not show up until the sky was completely bright and no one came.
