He and the Zhou family's Liangzi have already formed a knot, and the Zhou family and Tao Ning are walking together again. It is hard not to make people associate.

That being the case, then I will let you go forward again.

Chapter 22

Taiping has been going on for a long time, and Yuanjiang City has suddenly become noisy in recent days.

On the street, from time to time, Jin Yiwei galloped past, and even shops were sealed up.

Many officials and lords were brutally dragged out of their homes by Jin Yiwei, and some of them didn't even have time to wear clothes.

The gate of the Zhou family was stepped on three times a day by Jin Yiwei.

Every day in Zhou's gambling house, brothel, and restaurant, hooligans come to make trouble, and the yamen arrests are always late.

The city is already full of rainy scenery!

The various forces in the city have become extraordinarily quiet in recent days.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an action against the Zhou family.

Whether it's the Zhou family or the Jinyiwei, they are all existences that they can't afford to mess with.

As for the magistrate, he heard that he was infected with the cold and had already gone to the prefecture to find a famous doctor. He still left overnight, and he only brought a concubine with him when he left.

……

Zhou family.

Inside the ancestral hall.

Zhou Yuan said with a gloomy face: "Patriarch, three more shops were seized today, and there was even an armed fight in two casinos."

The Buddhist beads in Zhou Shijin's hand had long been shattered, and his elegant face was extremely gloomy.

"This Lin Mang is simply deceiving!"

"I haven't troubled him yet, but he came to the door first!"

Zhou Yuan said helplessly: "Patriarch, what should we do now?"

"Several members of the family in the county government have also been arrested and sent to the Jinyiwei Prison. I'm afraid they will say something."

"Boom!" Zhou Shijin slapped the teacup on the table, and said coldly, "Tell Tao Ning that he must bring him out, if he can't..."

"Then shut them up forever!"

"What the dead say has no credibility!"

Zhou Yuan felt a chill in his heart, hesitating on his face.

Zhou Shijin said coldly: "This hatred will be attributed to Lin Mang!"

Zhou Yuan didn't dare to speak again.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Shijin, the patriarch, is the biggest.

Zhou Shijin took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Go to the cashier and pay 3000 taels, and give it to Lin Mang!"

Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

Zhou Shijin said in a cold voice: "If you want to make people crazy first, you must first make them inflated. There is no need to confront him head-on for the time being. Let him be soft first and lower his vigilance."

"I will get the money back from him!"

"Also..." Zhou Shijin's eyes flashed coldness, and he said indifferently, "Tell Tao Ning that we have something to discuss tonight!"

……

Jinyiwei prison.

"My lord!" Jin Yiwei on both sides saluted one after another.

Lin Mang nodded slightly, and stepped into the depths of the prison.

An old man with a scruffy face was tied to a stake.

This person is a member of the fourth house of Zhou's family, and he is an agricultural officer, responsible for the admiral, the grain chief, and Lijia to collect taxes and grain.

He may seem like a small official, but he has a lot of power.

Wang Dasheng hurriedly moved a chair, Lin Mang sat down with a stalwart, looked at the old man, and said calmly, "Let's talk, you don't have to take chances. Once you enter this prison, no one can get out except the corpse."

Zhou Wenhai was full of anger: "Officer dog, you are using your power for personal gain and disregarding human life, I will definitely sue you!"

Lin Mang shook his head, and whispered something softly in Wang Dasheng's ear.

Wang Dasheng left quickly, and after a while, he returned with a few mice and an iron basin in his hand.

Lin Mang said lightly, "Take off his clothes!"

Zhou Wenhai looked startled, and said loudly, "Lin Mang, what are you trying to do! Do you want to abuse lynching?"

Lin Mang looked at him and said calmly, "Master Zhou, I'll give you one more chance. Let me explain everything that needs to be explained."

"Hmph!" Although Zhou Wenhai was terrified, he still said forcefully, "I don't know anything."

Lin Mang waved his hand casually.

A Jin Yiwei came to Zhou Wenhai with the mouse, put it on his stomach, and buckled it with an iron basin.

Zhou Wenhai's expression became more and more frightened.

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

For some reason, he faintly felt something was wrong.

Wang Dasheng took a torch, slowly brought it close to the iron basin, and the flames scorched it.

Zhou Wenhai's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

"what--"

Zhou Wenhai's expression changed completely, and he said in a panic, "Say, I'll say, I'll say everything."

"Quick, stop!"

The severe pain made him tremble when he spoke.

Lin Mang raised his hand, and said lightly, "Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?"

"Tell me, what happened to you, and what happened to other members of the Zhou family."

Zhou Wenhai's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

For these family children, the teaching they have received since childhood is that the family is the sky.

He knew what it would mean if he said it.

At this moment, a person hurriedly walked outside the prison.

Tao Ning was full of anger, and shouted: "Lin Mang, stop! Do you know what you are doing?"

When Zhou Wenhai saw Tao Ning, a trace of hope appeared in his eyes.

Lin Mang tilted his head slightly, and casually cupped his hands: "I've seen Tao Zongqi."

"Of course I know. I suspect that this person has something to do with the weekend and Dong Wenshan's case. Is there any problem?"

Tao Ning stared!

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when it is mentioned, the anger in his heart can hardly be suppressed.

Dong Wenshan was his confidant, but he died in the prison within a day of being imprisoned.

Speaking of committing suicide in fear of crime, it was clearly Lin Mang who did it!

"Lin Mang!"

Tao Ning's voice was a little colder, and he said coldly, "Let him go!"

"Ah!"

Lin Mang stood up, and said coldly, "Forgive me, Lord Baihu ordered me to take charge of Dong Wenshan's case. Tao Zongqi can let me go if he wants, just ask Lord Baihu to order."

Tao Ning's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Lin Mang, do you have to fight against me?"

"Don't dare!" Lin Mang said lightly, "The lower officials have never thought of that."

Tao Ning gave Lin Mang a cold look, then turned and left.

The moment he turned around, a cold killing intent appeared on his face.

Lin Mang sat down again and said calmly, "Go on."

Zhou Wenhai swallowed silently, fear welling up in his heart.

Immediately, a trace of depression appeared on his face, and he told the matter in detail.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Wenhai signed and made a deposit.

Lin Mang accepted the crime and said with a sneer, "I didn't expect you, a little sheriff, to be greedy for so much ink."

It can be seen from this that the Zhou family has been entrenched here all these years, how much people have been squeezed out.

At this moment, Wang Dasheng said in a low voice: "My lord, the Zhou family just sent someone here, and they brought 3000 taels. They said they picked it up, so I ask your lord to handle it for you."

"In addition, their people said that they had offended them before, so please be kind to your lord."

"Oh?" Lin Mang was slightly surprised.

When did the Zhou family become so kind?

However, the bank notes delivered to the door are not accepted in vain.

He needs a lot of energy points to break through the True Qi Realm, and it is a little bit if he can accumulate a little bit, not to mention that the more accumulated the Innate Realm is, the longer he can go in the future.

Wang Dasheng hesitated: "My lord, do you want to continue?"

"Why not?" Lin Mang said indifferently, "Isn't it our duty to punish these corrupt officials?"

The Zhou family is different from the Wild Wolf Gang.

The Wild Wolf Gang is nothing more than a gang of local ruffians and hooligans, but the Zhou family is a wealthy family with a history of nearly a hundred years, and its foundation is deep. Do you really think it will be subdued?

He has offended the Zhou family to this extent, and this contradiction cannot be resolved with a few words.

The fun...has just begun!

Chapter 23

When Tao Ning got out of the prison, he ran into a Jin Yiwei head-on.

"Tao Zongqi, Lord Baihu, please go over there."

"Understood." Tao Ning nodded with a gloomy expression.

When he was about to enter the room, Tao Ning suddenly put away the gloomy expression on his face, and replaced it with a smile.

Walking into the hall, turned around to look at the figure beside the desk, and said respectfully, "My lord, are you calling me?"

Without raising his head, Chen Tiankui said, "Tomorrow a general banner from the capital will come to take office, you should send someone to meet him."

Tao Ning couldn't help being taken aback.

The general banner of the capital came here to take up his post?

How many people are eager to enter Jinyiwei in the capital, but there are still people who want to run outside?

"What? Is there a problem?" Chen Tiankui asked.

"No." Tao Ning cupped his hands and said, "I'll arrange it right now, sir."

Watching Tao Ning leave, Chen Tiankui looked behind the screen and pondered, "Do you think the people from the capital are here for Lin Mang?"

Behind the screen, the man in white came out and said with a light smile, "Maybe, but you're too suspicious, aren't you?"

"Even if those people wish Lin Mang would not go back, there's no need to send someone here, right?"

"I was about to be promoted, and the capital sent a general banner here, probably to be gilded."

Chen Tiankui looked at him with a strange expression.

How do you have the nerve to say that others are gold-plated?
