Chapter 813 Unexpected
Jiang Youzhen stepped forward quickly, and this time his moves were faster and more fierce than before.
The other party had just taken a palm strike from Jiang Youzhen, so now dealing with Jiang Youzhen is not as easy as before.
Jiang Youzhen's moves were fierce and he pressed forward step by step. The opponent couldn't resist at all and retreated again and again.
Tao Chendong was stunned by this unexpected change. How did they start a fight? When he saw Jiang Youzhen's ever-changing moves and his extremely profound internal strength, he was even more shocked.
Jiang Youzhen is actually good at martial arts? But isn't Jiang Youzhen a weak scholar?
Jiang Youzhen wielded the knife with great vigor. The soft sword on the opposite side could have overcome the hardness with softness, but facing Jiang Youzhen's fierce attack, it couldn't get close to her at all.
The best defense is offense, which makes the opponent unable to resist and exhausted to cope.
After a few more moves, the opponent seemed exhausted and his lower body began to become unstable.
Although the opponent held on, his trembling legs exposed his current predicament. Jiang Youzhen still did not make a rash move, but instead became more conservative than before.
The other party gnashed his teeth. This guy was as cunning as a monkey. He was not fooled at all. He just deliberately showed his exhaustion to lure the other party into taking the bait.
In fact, his internal strength has really reached its limit. If he doesn't fight quickly and decisively, he will be dragged on by the opponent and will be captured alive.
However, just as this man was thinking of a solution, another person rushed out from nowhere and quickly joined the battle.
Jiang Youzhen turned his head and took a look, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. The two of them attacked together, and the opponent was already unable to resist, and now they were defeated again and again.
After just a few moves, Li Dongsheng put a knife to his neck.
Jiang Youzhen turned around and walked towards Lu Shengyuan with sharp eyes.
However, Lu Shengyuan looked relieved, "Master Jiang, it's a good thing you guys arrived in time!"
Everyone was stunned, and saw Lu Shengyuan pointing at the follower and said: "I have been held hostage by their people. If it weren't for Magistrate Tao coming to Jiangling, I would have no chance to escape from them!"
“Hurry! Go to Tongzhi Liao’s residence and rescue him. I’m afraid that Tongzhi Liao has been held hostage by them for a long time and his life is in danger!” Lu Shengyuan looked extremely anxious and successfully stunned everyone on the spot.
Especially Tao Chendong, he opened his mouth wide with a confused look on his face.
Jiang Youzhen narrowed his eyes, "Master Lu, you said you were kidnapped by them? Who are they?"
Lu Shengyuan shook his head, then pointed at the follower under Li Dongsheng's sword, "Then you should ask him!"
"A month before the New Year, this man suddenly showed up and said he had held my child hostage. I didn't believe him, but when I got home, I saw that the child was really in their hands.
They asked me to do what they told me to do, to stamp and sign the files of the salt field and salt warehouse. When I refused, they threatened me by cutting off one of my infant's fingers.
Lu Shengyuan couldn't help crying, "In order to prevent the children from suffering, I had to obey. Later, according to my observation, I found that they were colluding with the salt gang.
The purpose was to provide the salt gang with smuggled salt so that they could make huge profits. Later, this matter was discovered by Liao Tongzhi. Liao Tongzhi hated evil and came to me to argue.
"What happened next? You killed him for fear that the truth would be exposed, and you kept the death a secret, right?" Tao Chendong shouted angrily.
Lu Shengyuan was stunned. "What? Could it be that Liao Tongzhi has been killed?"
He thought about it carefully, "I really haven't seen Liao Tongzhi since the beginning of the year. No wonder I thought he was under house arrest in the mansion. Because during the New Year, Liao Tongzhi's mansion also sent gifts. Everything seemed normal."
"Seems ordinary?" Jiang Youzhen laughed sarcastically.
"Yes! That day, Liao Tongzhi came to me to tell me about the strange things at the salt field. I evaded the question by saying that the salt warehouse had no objection. He was very angry at the time and had a big quarrel with me. We parted on bad terms. This was the last time I saw him."
Lu Shengyuan sighed and said, "At that time, I just didn't want him to intervene, so as not to bring about a catastrophic disaster.
But then he claimed to be ill and rested in his house. I went to visit him once, but I was separated from him by a curtain and did not see him in person. "
"Having never seen the real person, don't you suspect that he has been murdered?" Tao Chendong said angrily.
"I do have doubts, but what can I do? But the atmosphere in Liao's mansion was normal at that time, so I thought that Liao Tongzhi would definitely investigate the case in secret. In fact, I still have some selfish motives, hoping that Liao Tongzhi can report to the court and send people to investigate thoroughly."
"You plotted against Liao Zhengping. You knew that Liao Zhengping would definitely find a way to thoroughly investigate the case, so you ignored his safety and wanted to use him." Tao Chendong gritted his teeth.
Lu Shengyuan did not deny it. “Yes! In order to get rid of these people’s shackles, I did reveal a flaw in the file.”
"And Xu Zhanrong happened to be murdered. You know the court will send an imperial envoy to investigate the case, and the imperial envoy will also investigate Jiangling."
Jiang Youzhen took over the conversation and expressed his own guess.
"You deliberately told my followers that only Liao Zhengping could get the files and account books, and then you found out that Jiang Lin and his men were secretly looking for Liao Zhengping.
So you gave the account books and files to him, which made Jiang Lin and his men even more suspicious, and then they found out that Liao Zhengping had died tragically in his mansion. "
"Not bad!" Lu Shengyuan nodded.
"Master Tao was originally the deputy director of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office, and many people know him.
You received the report from when Lord Tao entered the city gate. Then, in order to bring me to Jiangling as soon as possible, you arrested Lord Tao."
Jiang Youzhen asked Li Dongsheng to tie up the follower, and saw that Lu Shengyuan was looking at her with admiration in his eyes.
"Everyone thinks you are a counselor, and today I see that you are indeed the case. So after you came to Jiangling, you went straight to the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office. They arrested you, but you did not resist, in order to bring me here in person. When those people heard that you were arrested, they were really excited, and brought me here to see you."
Tao Chendong thought he had some calculating skills, but he didn't expect that these two were so cunning and treacherous. He was nothing in front of them.
Ah! No, Jiang Youzhen is so cunning at such a young age.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can Lord Lu return the gold medal and the imperial edict?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Shengyuan shook his head and sighed, "Do you think that if I only arrest this one person, I will be the master of the entire Jiangling? This person is just one of the special envoys!"
"That means the gold medal and the jade are not in your hands?" Jiang Youzhen frowned.
Losing the gold medal is a serious crime! If the emperor investigates, it will be a disaster.
"Yes! But I know who to look for."
Jiang Youzhen thought for a moment and then replied, "Is it Judge Bian Chunlin?"
"Yes! It's him."
Lu Shengyuan gnashed his teeth when talking about this man. "As an official appointed by the imperial court, he had already defected to the gangsters. He was disloyal."
