Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 271 Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow

"Go ahead! I'll be waiting for you." Ren Changfeng had a grim expression.

Seeing that Ren Changfeng was not threatened, Guo Xin's expression went blank for a moment.

He has a very good reputation in Daqian. Everyone knows that he, the county magistrate, has spent all his money for Lantu County. The only thing that could make Ren Changfeng look bad to him is the matter he reported recently.

Guo Xin glanced at the guards with unfriendly eyes and smiled: "Master Ren, it's not that I didn't try my best in this gang rape case in Lanlu County. It's really that the criminals kept changing their confessions. I'm confused now. I can only trouble Master Ren, the angel. As the Left Censor-in-Chief, Master Ren will definitely be able to see through everything."

Ren Changfeng: “???”

What are you saying? Why can't I understand?

What gang rape case?

Ren Changfeng didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from pretending to understand. After all, as an angel, his duty was to investigate cases.

"What is going on? Tell me clearly."

Guo Xin looked at the guards surrounding him and the gleaming swords in their hands, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Ren, do you want to change places?"

Ren Changfeng sneered: "No need to change, stand up and explain it clearly."

No matter how you look at it, it seems that this angel is coming for him. Guo Xin secretly raised his eyes to glance at Ren Changfeng's ugly face. Could it be because he couldn't receive any gifts in Blueprint County?

I heard that the angels during the previous emperor's time could make a fortune by traveling around the local areas. It seems that there is no money to be made in Lantu County, so this Lord Ren has such an unhappy expression. Guo Xin muttered to himself, and seeing that Ren Changfeng's expression became even uglier, he quickly talked about the gang rape case in Lantu County.

The case was very simple. A woman named Liu from Lantu County saw her cousin treating her wife as a prostitute, recruiting men to have sex with her and collecting money.

Liu couldn't stand seeing that cousin and his wife, so she rolled her eyes, spit, and sometimes even cursed at them in a sarcastic tone. Who knew that the cousin was so angry that when Liu's husband was out, he contacted those clients and rushed into Liu's house.

Afterwards, Liu reported the incident to the county government, but Liu's cousin admitted that he did it today, but denied it the next day. The case was pending for a year without a verdict.

Finally, Guo Xin added: "The unruly people are difficult to deal with. As long as we use the torture properly, we will be able to close the case quickly."

Ren Changfeng nodded. A man who treated his wife as a prostitute was truly a piece of shit and should be severely punished. Guo Xin did a pretty good job in this case.

[This is so weird. He uses his wife as a prostitute. How can he explain to his children that your father is short of money, so he asked your mother to make money.]

Xu Jinyu clenched his fists.

[Master Ren, is this tour around the world just to let me see all the weird humans? ]

Ren Changfeng's lips trembled, no...

There aren’t so many strange things in normal times, but only when you encounter them do you know so many strange things.

For example, the emperor loves to pick his toes, for example...

Suddenly Xu Jinyu exclaimed again,

[But the case reported was clearly a robbery, how come it was turned into a gang rape case? ]

Ren Changfeng was halfway through nodding when he couldn't nod any further.

Isn’t the gap between a robbery case and a gang rape case a bit too big?

【Oh~~ I understand. It was for the property of these two families. Liu's family had been turned upside down in the name of investigating a case. The property of Liu's uncle was also confiscated by the county magistrate. The reason he used was that the money was for prostitution, so of course it had to be confiscated.】

[Whose prostitution fee can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of acres of fertile land? Even if the wife of that cousin dies of exhaustion, she can't earn so much for prostitution. It's obvious that she's just trying to make money. Two good country gentry families were ruined by the county magistrate because of a case.]

[No wonder there are stories about the prefect who ruined his family and the county magistrate who wiped out his clan. Why would anyone go to the government office for no reason? Isn't this a living example?]

Ren Changfeng took a deep breath and understood.

Guo Xin wanted to kill everyone in Lantu County, no matter if you were a poor commoner or a country gentry, he dared to kill everyone.

Guo Xin looked at Ren Changfeng's increasingly ugly expression and swallowed his saliva fearfully. He didn't say anything wrong, so why did Lord Ren's expression become even uglier?

Ren Changfeng did not reach behind him this time. He directly took out a notebook from his sleeve, opened it and looked at it for a few seconds before sneering, "A country gentleman lets his wife sell herself to make money. How much money does he need?"

Guo Xin's face turned pale, but he still managed to speak: "The squire is not short of money, then... then maybe he has some special hobby, he just likes to watch his wife being affectionate with other men."

"Ugh~~"

"Ugh~~"

·····

As soon as these words were spoken, every man present changed his expression.

Ren Changfeng was also enlightened. With a sneer on his face, he continued, "It was clearly a robbery case, how did it become a gang rape case?"

"They gang-raped me during the robbery."

"Oh? What about the wealth of this victim's family and the wealth of the victim's uncle?"

Guo Xin's eyes rolled around: "Family wealth? How would I know their family wealth?"

[Wow! Three years as a prefect, 100,000 taels of silver. This is a conservative estimate. Guo Xin has been a county magistrate for six years, and his family has a million taels of silver. This is equivalent to at least 150,000 taels of silver a year, all hidden under the bedroom. It turns out that being an official is so profitable! ]

Ren Changfeng's hands were shaking as he held the notebook. To squeeze out a million taels of silver from a county, one could imagine how this Blueprint County had been ruined by Guo Xin.

"Snapped!"

The notebook in Ren Changfeng's hand flew to Guo Xin's face.

"Then explain to me where the one million taels of silver under your bedroom came from. Didn't you lose everything to help the people of Blueprint County?"

Hearing that Ren Changfeng knew exactly where he had hidden the silver, he realized that it must be the work of that internal guard. His Majesty had discovered his operation and came to deal with him.

Guo Xin's knees softened and he fell to the ground.

"Mercy!!!"

Ren Changfeng waved his hand, and all the people were suppressed by the guards.

It is impossible to spare his life. For what Guo Xin did, it is not too much to execute his entire family. The officials under him will suffer the same fate.

The leaders were arrested, and the bailiffs of Lantu County surrendered to the imperial guards without a word. These bailiffs were bastards who aided and abetted the evil and did not deserve any sympathy.

"Take him to jail!" Ren Changfeng gave the order directly.

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "There is no room in the prison."

"There is no room in the prison, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ren Changfeng blurted out.

Then when he saw the crowded prison, his mouth opened wide.

The prison in a county town is neither big nor small, but now the prison in Lantu County is crowded with people. A large group of people eat, drink, defecate and urinate in one place, let alone the smell.

Xu Jinyu covered her mouth and nose.

[With this smell, there's no problem sending the person away. 】

Seeing someone coming in, the prisoners in the cell rushed over like crazy.

"It's unfair! Sir~~~"

"Sir, I did not commit adultery with the prostitute~~~"

Ren Changfeng moved the corner of his mouth. When did prostitution become related to adultery?

"Sir, I am just a small boss. How could I be involved with the enemy country?"

"My Lord, spare my life! I am willing to offer all my wealth!"

······

Hearing these pleas for mercy, Ren Changfeng's face turned pale again. Guo Xin was really squeezing the blood out of Lantu County and had no intention of leaving any hope for survival.

[These are all merchants of all sizes in Lantu County. Guo Xin heard about the internal security incident and planned to make a fortune before leaving. He will resign and return home next year.]
