Chapter 108 Lost and found again, forcing the traitor!
The suppression of the bandits went smoothly, and the battle ended in just over an hour.
Capt. He arranged for his men to look for silver while counting the losses of the battle.
Soon, Capt. He came to report with a happy face: "Sir, the silver was found, in a cellar inside!"
When the silver was found, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
I found the silver, which proved that my guess was correct, and I didn't find the wrong person this time.
This Kuang San Dao is the person who attacked the county government office yesterday!
"Arrange a few people to carry out all the silver and count whether there is anything missing."
"Yes!" He Captou went to deal with it with excitement on his face.
At this moment, Liu Changfeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Su, for recovering the lost money and solving the case so quickly."
"If the prefect knew about this, he would definitely praise Master Su greatly."
Su Cheng shook his head: "We were able to capture these bandits this time only because of Mr. Liu Qian's help. Otherwise, this county would not have been able to capture this village so easily."
The two were exchanging compliments in business, and Shen Youwei on the side was not used to it.
I rolled my eyes to the sky!
"Hey, hey, hey, you two grown men, can you stop being so polite? I caught the Kuangsan Sword!"
Shen Youwei crossed her arms and looked like she was waiting for Su Cheng to praise her.
Seeing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but look at Liu Changfeng.
Liu Changfeng shrugged, as if he was watching a good show.
Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "Madam, you really helped me a lot this time. Not only did you deal with the hidden sentries outside, but you also took down the Kuangsan Dao."
These words made Shen Youwei chuckle, her big eyes narrowed into a straight line, and she looked a little cute.
At this time, Tian Dazhuang also came to report: "Sir, the inventory has been completed. We have no loss of manpower, only a few people were injured."
"This time we captured twelve bandits and eleven more were killed. However, the bandit leader Kuang San Dao kept screaming. He seemed to be seriously injured."
Isn't it serious? Shen Youwei cut off the palm of his hand.
Su Cheng frowned: "Didn't you send someone to bandage it?"
"I bandaged it, but it was useless. This guy kept crying and howling." Tian Dazhuang looked down on this kind of person with contempt.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Considering that they still had to carry the money back, they did not go back so quickly, so Su Cheng decided to take a look at the situation of the Kuangsan Sword first.
Kuangsandao's attack on the government officials must be a capital crime, but Su Cheng wanted to know who leaked the news to this person.
Soon, everyone came to Kuang San Dao who was being escorted by several soldiers.
At this moment, Kuang San Dao couldn't get any more crazy. He covered his injured hand and kept shouting. Although the wound was bandaged, blood was still oozing out.
Su Cheng glanced at the embarrassed Kuang San Dao, but there was no trace of sympathy on his face.
This kind of person is extremely vicious and does not deserve his sympathy!
"Does it hurt?" Su Cheng stared at Kuangsandao and said coldly: "But when you cut off the heads of my subordinates, did you ever think about their feelings?"
"Their families have lost loved ones because of your crazy actions. People like you are not worthy of being human at all!"
Kuangsandao's expression changed upon hearing this, and he raised his head to look at Su Cheng.
Finding that Su Cheng was wearing official uniform, he immediately understood Su Cheng's identity.
"You...you are the Magistrate of Liuhe County!"
"Hmph, I fell into your hands this time. I have nothing to say, but you tortured me so much. If your case is passed on in the future, the people in the Criminal Department will not let you go!"
Not wanting to lose his momentum, Kuang San Dao directly used the Punishment Department to suppress Su Cheng.
In general, if a large case requires the death penalty, the case file must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, which will give a unified approval before execution in the autumn.
However, if an official abuses his power while handling a case and causes the death of a prisoner, he must also bear responsibility.
But Su Cheng smiled when he heard this.
"These are all people from this county. Even if this county kills you now, the Ministry of Punishment will not know about it!"
Su Cheng looked like an idiot: "But you know your situation at the moment. If you delay it any longer, you will die from excessive blood loss."
"This county can give you a chance to live a few more days. As long as you tell who disclosed the news to you, the county can immediately send someone to take you back for treatment."
After all, Su Cheng's purpose is to know who is behind the scenes.
Kuang San Dao was in Qingfeng Village, so it was impossible for him to know that he got money from the auction and went to the village to collect the money.
Someone must have tipped off the news!
If this whistleblower is not removed, he will be a disaster if he remains in Liuhe County!
He believed that Kuang San Dao was a smart man and would definitely make the right choice.
However, Kuangsandao laughed when he heard this, and a strange look appeared on the scarred face.
"If you want to get this from me, you have to let me go, otherwise you won't know who is tipping me off!"
Kuang San Dao actually wanted to gain life through this incident.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Youwei, who had a straightforward temper, was so angry that she immediately pulled out her sword.
"You bitch, how dare you threaten my husband!"
After saying that, the sharp sword was about to stab Kuangsan Dao.
Kuangsandao was very frightened by the woman who cut off his palm, and his face changed greatly in fear, and he took several steps back.
Su Cheng also took the opportunity to stop Shen Youwei: "Madam, there is no need to be angry. Since this person wants to die, let him alone. I can find out slowly by investigating."
"Come here, take him down. Don't worry about his shouting. Even if he bleeds to death, it's none of our business."
Since Kuang San Dao raised the price, there was no need for him to continue the negotiation.
After saying that, Su Cheng and his people were about to leave, and the government officials escorted Kuang San Dao down.
This scene scared Kuangsandao so much that his expression changed drastically.
If he really had to be taken down, judging from the current bleeding situation, he would die within three hours.
"Don't... Master Su, if you have something to say, we can talk about it."
Kuang San Dao was in a hurry.
But Su Cheng didn't look back: "There's nothing to talk about. You're too greedy. I'm no longer interested in talking to you."
"No, I said, I said, as long as Mr. Su, you send someone to take me back to the city for treatment!"
Kuangsandao looked at Su Cheng walking further and further away and shouted quickly.
After all, he was still afraid of death and chose to make a deal with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng's mouth showed a hint of ridicule: "Then you first tell who that person is, and the county will also judge whether you are lying."
Kuangsandao quickly explained: "It's already this time, how could I still lie!"
"It was Wang Laoliu from Wangjiazhuang who secretly sent someone to inform me. He also said that I would give them 30% after the matter is completed!"
"I have never seen so much money in my life. Even if I divide it by 30%, it is still a good deal!"
It's him!
A smiling old man suddenly appeared in Su Cheng's mind.
This person was one of the big ones who participated in the auction, and he also bought a thousand acres of land.
"The county thought that someone among the government officials was a traitor, but we didn't expect that it was actually the Wang family!"
Su Cheng's eyes turned cold: "It seems that it is necessary for this county to crack down on these big households!"
After suppressing the bandits, the next step is to clean up the big households.
Su Cheng wants to establish his authority in Liuhe County!
