Chapter 236: The Fall of the Clan (4)

"Name?"

"Du Zebo."

"Where are you from?"

"northeast."

"Profession?"

"..."

"say!"

"I confess..."

…

He Xiang left the interrogation room with dark circles under his eyes. Although he didn't look in good spirits, the dark-colored man was quite relaxed.

After all, he interrogated Du Zebo all night long, using various methods, and finally found something useful.

"He Xiang, what's the matter? Did you ask anything?" Liu Shu, the captain of the Magic Special Police Team 2, also happened to come out of another interrogation room. When he saw He Xiang, he asked aloud: "Du Zebo is a very tough-talking guy. Yesterday, I was the first to interrogate him at night, he was so arrogant!”

He Xiang looked at him and said, "It's really difficult. No matter what method I use, I can't find anything useful. How are you doing there?"

"The people who tried to escape last night were all very tough, which means the innocent logistics personnel were very cooperative and actively tried to prove their innocence."

He Xiang nodded: "Is the director here? I will report the current situation to the director first!"

"good!"

Watching He Xiang's leaving figure, Liu Shu crossed his arms across his chest and looked at the interrogation room where she had just been, with a strange look in his eyes.

Then he walked inside.

Looking at Du Zebo who was sitting across from him with a sleepy look on his face, Liu Shu sneered, walked over and sat down and said calmly: "You have a tough mouth. You haven't said anything until now."

Du Zebo opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Shu and then closed his eyes again, completely ignoring him.

Liu Shu looked at him indifferently: "Be wise, you should know that confessing and being lenient is your best choice!"

Du Zebo opened his eyes and looked at Liu Shu. This man was very particular about the word "choice".

"You don't need to worry." Du Zebo said hoarsely, and then closed his eyes again. !

…

"Director, this is Du Zebo's transcript."

He Xiang handed the transcript to the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk. The reason why He Xiang trusted it so much was because King Kaiping told her that she could trust it.

The man picked up the glasses on the side, read the transcript and asked, "Only you know, right?"

"Yes." He Xiang nodded: "I don't trust other people, especially Liu Shu. If he knows about this transcript, he will definitely try his best to kill people and silence them."

The man nodded: "This matter is indeed very involved, but such a big matter must not be suppressed."

"He Xiang, let me give you a tip. Expose this matter. The bigger the impact, the better."

"Our Daqin people have a very strong sense of national honor and sense of the rule of law."

"I understand!" He Xiang nodded: "I'll do it right away!"

…

"The news is out." Wang Jingtang walked to Su Yian with a newly printed newspaper and handed it to him.

"The Zong family is suspected of smuggling arms, the quantity is huge, the crime is unforgivable!"

Looking at this news that took up two-thirds of the page, Su Yian looked calm: "The Imperial Capital should be very lively now!"

"There is absolutely no peace." Wang Jingtang said: "Coupled with the charges of treason of the Zong family that were exposed yesterday, the public's hatred of the Zong family has reached a peak, and this is the talk in the streets and alleys."

"Some good people even said that the reason why Zong Lan and Zong Li died was because they had done too many bad things."

Su Yian nodded, and then said: "You can put some oil on this matter, fan the air... For example, let people spread rumors that Zong Lan and Zong Li actually faked their own deaths to act out a play, and they did so because they were afraid that their crimes would be exposed. What they did was to sneak out of the country and never return to Daqin."

Wang Jingtang nodded, the captain's methods were still powerful, many and cruel!

So not long after, similar rumors swept across the entire Da Qin on the Internet and in the streets and alleys. The Zong family was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted for beating!

People in some places even signed a petition calling for severe punishment of the Zong family. They told many incidents of being bullied and suppressed by the Zong family, which caused the reputation that the Zong family had finally accumulated to plummet.

…

"Click!"

The goblet broke into pieces, and the red wine inside not only splashed on the floor, but also on Lu Chengwang's trouser legs.

Lu Chengwang lowered his head and said nothing with a gloomy expression. Of course, this expression was not directed at the young man on the sofa, because he did not dare.

"Lu Chengwang, look at the good things you did!" The young man said with an expression on his face: "Because you left Zong Lan quietly, Zong Lan was assassinated, and Zong Li was also killed on the way home..."

"Lu Chengwang, you are a magician after all, don't you have any vigilance at all? Didn't you report anything from the Northeast to Kunyang City? Or do you have second thoughts?"

"Young Master Ji is serious. How dare I have any different intentions? Everything I have is given by the Ji family. Even if you give me a hundred courages, I would not dare to betray the Ji family." Lu Chengwang quickly explained: "I was careless in this matter and thought I was right. I felt that Zong Lan was very safe, and no one had successfully assassinated Zong Lan, so I didn’t report it to you. Unexpectedly..."

"Shut up!" The young man shouted coldly: "What's the use of Zhuge Liang after the fact? Zong Lan is dead, and even Zong Li is dead, and now there are people criticizing the Zong family, and the imperial capital also attaches great importance to this matter... …”

"What they pay attention to is not how Zong Lan died, not how Zong Li died, but the Zong family's treason, embezzling state-owned assets, selling confidential information to foreign countries, killing Chu Zhengfan and his family, and smuggling arms!"

The young man's face became more and more gloomy: "These things are top secret, how did the outside world know about it? Didn't you say that Chu Zhengfan and his brother were both dead? Zong Xinxin, the time bomb, is also in a coma. Who leaked these things?!"

"And the batch of weapons and equipment in Kunyang City was seized by the Kunyang City Security Bureau last night. Did you know?"

"I just saw the news..." Lu Chengwang's forehead was gradually sweating.

"I can ignore the others, after all, it's not your responsibility, but you were in charge of this matter from beginning to end, and in the end, such a thing happened. What do you think we should do?" The young man crossed his legs and said expressionlessly: "The Kunyang City Security Bureau also released the news that a logistics staff member confessed that he was acting under the order of Zong Lan."

"The Security Bureau did not disclose this person, so what about you? Do you know who might have surrendered to the Security Bureau?"

Lu Chengwang's face was uncertain. He knew that the batch of arms was discovered, but he didn't know that someone had confessed!

"Du Zebo..." Lu Chengwang said this name: "I only told him that these weapons and equipment were approved for transportation by Zong Lan."

"Oh, it seems that the problem is still with you." The young man sneered: "Lu Chengwang, you are really amazing. You have been smuggling weapons for so many years, but you still make such a low-level mistake!"

Lu Chengwang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Master Ji, I will handle this matter."

"Handle?" The young man laughed sarcastically: "Do you want to kill Du Zebo? Or turn the Kunyang City Security Bureau upside down?"

"Do you think this can solve the problem?"

The young man stood up, expressionless: "Early this morning, His Majesty has summoned Prince Ping to Beijing, and Prince Kaiping brought two people and an interrogation record."

"Guess who these two people are?"

"Du Zebo, and..." Lu Chengwang hesitated and couldn't speak.

"And He Xiang, the captain of the first brigade of Kunyang City Magic Special Police Brigade."

"Your Majesty summoned Prince Ping to Beijing at this time, probably for this matter. After all, this batch of weapons was found in Kunyang City, and judging from the vigorous and resolute manner, a result may be discussed this afternoon, the result against the Zong family!"

"I'll go kill He Xiang and Du Zebo." Lu Chengwang said in a deep voice: "A little bit of recovery is a little bit of recovery."

"I just said that this won't solve the problem, and..." The young man said sarcastically: "What do you think the imperial capital is? You can kill people at will? Even if a sage goes there, he has to behave according to the rules, let alone you, a magician."

"The imperial capital is not short of magicians of your level!"

"Of course, there is one thing you still need to do." The young man's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Find out the mastermind behind this matter!"

Lu Chengwang raised his head and looked at the young man in confusion: "Do you mean someone is targeting the Zong family?"

"No." The young man said lightly: "The other party's target is the Ji family!"

"So bold, dare to have ideas about the Ji family, don't know what's good for you!" Lu Chengwang said indignantly.

The young man had a blank expression on his face: "First, Liuyangjiao encountered a series of problems in capturing Zong Xinxin, and then this mess was exposed. Moreover, the mastermind was very smart and did not reveal any clues from beginning to end, leaving people with no clues at all."

"Why are you sure there is a mastermind behind this?" Lu Chengwang asked with some doubts.

The young man said calmly: "Intuition."

What a general answer...

Lu Chengwang pulled the corner of his mouth, and heard the young man continue: "You and Zong Jin write down all your experiences in the Golden Triangle, especially those involving the Xiao family, Chu Zhengyang and Zong Xinxin, write down everything you know!"

"Then you go to Liuyangjiao to avoid the limelight. Now that this matter has been exposed, I'm afraid you will be dug out as well."

"Yes!"

"Oh, right." The young man turned his head and said: "The one called Gu Xiao in Liuyangjiao, if you can contact him, contact him, and then get some information from him. He has contacted Zong Xinxin and Zong Jin, maybe he can know something."

It turned out that it was not intuition...

Lu Chengwang thought so, Ji Shao had his own ideas, and he had to start from this idea.

"That's all, you try your best to check it for me." The young man said lightly.

"Yes, sir!"

...

"Hey, Zhiyao, I have to go back to school, are you coming back?"

"When is the flight?"

"Tomorrow morning at 9:50."

"See you at the airport."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yian looked out the window——

"The results should be out soon."
