Chapter 389: Taking and Taking

It was already late at night when Duan Rong returned to Liu Shushan's hidden courtyard.

But Xiao Yu, Shen Mizhi, Ximen Kankan, and Liu Shushan were still awake. They were sitting there waiting for him.

As soon as Duan Rong entered the courtyard, Xiao Yu came out to greet him, looking at him with concern. "Why are you so late?"

Duan Rong said, "I was delayed for a while."

Duan Rong said, and gently squeezed Xiao Yu's hand, as a comfort.

The two walked into the hall, Ximen Kankan smiled and said, "You are finally back! If you don't come back, sister-in-law will drive us to the street to find you."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I say I would drive you to the street?"

Ximen Kankan said, "You didn't say it, but I'm thinking it in my heart."

Xiao Yu laughed and scolded, "You are so capable, do you have the ability to read minds?"

Ximen Kankan wanted to say something, but Duan Rong had already interrupted him and asked, "Let's talk about your investigation first?"

Ximen Kankan then picked out some important information that he and Liu Shushan had investigated and told it again. Liu Shushan added some of the things he didn't say clearly.

Duan Rong sat there listening, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He already knew most of the information that Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan had investigated, but there were also some that he didn't know very well.

For example, some details of the Shen family's major case.

The first person to be arrested was naturally Tang Wanhong, and the entire Shen Garden was also surrounded.

Tang Wanhong put the transaction list and account in a black iron box in the name of pawning and stored it in the warehouse of a pawnshop. The owner of the pawnshop was his sworn brother in his early years.

Because Xiong Yi found that Tang Wanhong would go to the pawnshop once every once in a while. Xiong Yi began to have doubts in his heart. Tang Wanhong was not going to pawn anything, so why did he always go to the pawnshop?

Xiong Yi told Li Hong about this.

Chen Xun sent people to seal up the not-so-big pawnshop on the same day on the grounds that the redemption was fake.

Then, in the warehouse of the pawnshop, the list and account of Shen Yuan's transaction were found.

After getting the list and account, Chen Xun immediately asked Li Hong to personally lead people to seal up Shen Yuan and arrest Tang Wanhong to the prison in the prefectural city.

Chen Xun got the list and account. Although the account was quite detailed, it was all the account transactions between officials and Tang Wanhong, and not a single word directly involved Shen Yanliu.

Chen Xun tortured Tang Wanhong severely, threatened and bribed her in the prison. Tang Wanhong knew that she would die whether she spoke or not, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Not long after Tang Wanhong was arrested, Shen Yanliu got the news.

Shen Yanliu was still calm, but Ma Chunmin immediately panicked. She actually asked someone to capture Tang Wanhong's wife and children, and then she bribed the old jailer who delivered meals in the prison to show Tang Wanhong the longevity lock of Tang Wanhong's son when he delivered meals.

As soon as Tang Wanhong saw the longevity lock, he immediately knew what was going on.

Because only Shen Yanliu and his wife knew the whereabouts of his wife and children. This was obviously done by Shen Yanliu.

Tang Wanhong was suddenly very sad. He had been friends with Shen Yanliu for more than 20 years, and he had already thought about not betraying him. But he didn't expect that at this time, he was still threatening him with his son's life.

In Shen Yanliu's eyes, he was just a chess piece.

Tang Wanhong confessed that night!

Chen Xun was naturally overjoyed. Once Tang Wanhong's confession was obtained, the chain of evidence was complete.

These dirty deals originally took place in Shen Garden, which was built by Shen Yanliu. He was not free from these things, and with Tang Wanhong's confession, it was completely confirmed.

Chen Xun personally led people to raid Shen Yanliu's house that night.

On the night of the incident, Shen Yanliu sent a few confidants to the Shenyun Mansion. He originally expected that if Tang Wanhong did not confess, Chen Xun would not act so quickly!

But he did not expect that the soldiers had surrounded his mansion.

Shen Yanliu immediately organized servants and guards to resist. He loudly scolded Chen Xun for suppressing dissidents and framing him.

Chen Xun had already expected that Shen Yanliu would not surrender, but he had planned for a long time, so how could he let Shen Yanliu resist stubbornly?

Under the siege of several Qi Realm masters, Chen Xun destroyed Shen Yanliu's Dantian on the spot.

When Liu Shushan mentioned that Chen Xun destroyed Shen Yanliu's Dantian, Shen Mizhi, who was sitting next to him, twitched her eyelids.

But Duan Rong knew that Chen Xun not only destroyed Shen Yanliu's Dantian, but also twisted his hands and feet.

Duan Rong also shared some of his findings with them, mainly about the defensive power of the dungeon in the city.

When they heard that there were three Qi Realm masters in the dungeon in the city, they were all silent for a moment.

Duan Rong glanced at Shen Mizhi and said, "You should be mentally prepared. Your father may... have some difficulty walking."

He just kindly reminded Shen Mizhi to let her be prepared, and he also did his best. As for the rest, Duan Rong felt that he might be helpless.

When Shen Mizhi heard this, her eyes turned red. She could imagine how her father was tortured in prison. If her father couldn't even walk according to Duan Rong's words, then her hope of rescuing her father would be even slimmer.

After hearing Duan Rong's words, Liu Shushan looked at him curiously.

The dungeon in the prefectural city was such a confidential place, and the information inside was strictly sealed. Even a local snake like him could hardly find out the information inside, so how did Duan Rong know?

Although Liu Shushan had doubts in his heart, he was also a very cautious person and did not ask directly. After all, no one would casually reveal the channel that could find such confidential information. Why should he pry into other people's secrets?

After exchanging the information, several people looked at Duan Rong expectantly and asked him if he had any good ideas?

Duan Rong just yawned and said that he had no ideas. It was too late today, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

When he said this, he clearly saw that Shen Mizhi's eyes dimmed instantly.

Duan Rong also felt that Shen Mizhi was pitiful, and he also admired her filial piety of sacrificing her life to save her father, but one thing is one thing, this matter is obviously a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, how dare he make random accusations?

Several people were indeed tired. They had been traveling for a long time, and they were in a tense state all day. At this time, seeing that it was only about two hours before dawn, they all hurried to go to bed.

Xiao Yu actually abandoned Duan Rong and slept in the same room with Shen Mizhi, leaving Duan Rong sleeping alone on the bed.

He turned over and held the other pillow in his arms.

In fact, there was a very important piece of news that he had not shared with Shen Mizhi, Liu Shushan and others.

That is, Yang Ji, the governor of Ruyang Prefecture, will go to Shenyun Prefecture in person. His purpose of going there is to find a way to have the documents of Shen Yanliu case reviewed within ten days and sent to Ruyang Prefecture.

The reason why Duan Rong didn't say it was because he felt that although Liu Shushan couldn't find out the news today, he would definitely know it tomorrow.

Because a governor left Ruyang Prefecture, someone would definitely know it. Since Liu Shushan could find out the news, Duan Rong thought it would be better to wait for him to tell everyone.

After all, after he shared some of the situations in the dungeon, Liu Shushan looked at him with a strange look.

As Duan Rong expected, at noon the next day, Liu Shushan gathered them all in the hall and told them about the governor Yang Ji's trip to Shenyun Mansion.

"Ten days?" Shen Mizhi couldn't sit still immediately.

"Yes!" Liu Shushan also knew that Shen Mizhi was anxious, but he had to tell her the truth.

Shen Mizhi's body suddenly trembled a little, and her emotions were in a violent shock.

She suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground with a plop towards Duan Rong, saying with tears: "Brother Duan, as long as you save my father's life. My life, Shen Mizhi, will be yours in the future. You two can take it as you please! This is what I, Shen Mizhi, say, and the heaven and earth can bear witness to it!"

As Shen Mizhi said this, she kowtowed to Duan Rong with a bang. She was very emotional at this time, and her true energy was floating. She kowtowed and smashed a piece of floor into powder, and a faint smoke rose.

Xiao Yu immediately stepped forward and wanted to pull Shen Mizhi up. "Mizhi sister, get up, Duan Rong can't bear such a great gift from you!"

Shen Mizhi was stubbornly crawling on the ground, and she didn't get up even if Xiao Yu pulled her.

She knew that she was not begging for herself, but for her father.

Duan Rong said: "Get up! If you do this, I will shorten my life!"

Shen Mizhi raised her head and burst into tears when she heard it.

She was cold and arrogant by nature, and it was because of her temperament that the harm caused by her life experience would be multiplied and distorted her heart.

But at this time, for her father's life, she had given up all her dignity and even her life.

She had just said that as long as Duan Rong saved her father, her life would be taken by Duan Rong!

This means being willing to be a slave!

"Brother Duan, you have always been resourceful, please save my father's life!" Shen Mizhi said, crawling and kneeling again, her shoulders kept shaking, and it was obvious that her emotions were close to collapse.

Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong helplessly and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Duan Rong looked at Shen Mizhi, who was lying on the ground, in silence.

In fact, after lying down last night, he really had an idea and thought of a way. But he was always hesitant in his heart. Although he pitied Shen Mizhi, he was really unwilling to save Shen Yanliu.

A corrupt official who harms the people is not worth dying for!

But at this time, he looked at Shen Mizhi, who was crawling on the ground, shrugging his shoulders and almost collapsed, and he suddenly changed his mind.

Although Shen Yanliu deserved to die, he had such a filial daughter, and it was also his fate that he should not die!

And Shen Yanliu's Dantian was already useless. Even if he saved Shen Yanliu's residual life, he could never wash away his sins. He could only live in anonymity in this life, and it was impossible for him to do anything that harmed the people.

Duan Rong thought about this and was ready to agree to Shen Mizhi, because the method he thought of, as long as there were no mistakes, would not only save Shen Yanliu's life, but also none of them would be exposed.

Ximen Kankan, who was standing aside, suddenly looked at Duan Rong and said, "If you have a way, help her. Even if it's a little risky."

Duan Rong glared at him, suddenly walked to his side, and whispered, "I'll help you if you burn that thing, how about it?"

"Ah..." Ximen Kankan was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Rong to suddenly mention this matter at this time, but he couldn't bear Shen Mizhi's pitiful appearance of almost collapsing and kneeling down, so he said, "Okay, I'll burn it."

Duan Rong glanced at him and whispered, "You'd better keep your word."

Liu Shushan stood beside Ximen Kankan, looking at them with strange eyes.

"What are you two whispering about there?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked coldly.

Duan Rong smiled and said, "Nothing."

Then he looked at Shen Mizhi who was still crawling on the ground and said, "Mizhi, if you really want me to save your father, stand up."

Shen Mizhi stood up immediately after hearing this, her face still covered with tears, and said, "Brother Duan, did you agree?"

Duan Rong nodded and said, "You get up first!"

Shen Mizhi stood up.

She knew that this matter was difficult, but in the past three months, no matter how difficult the case was, it could be solved easily as long as it was in Duan Rong's hands. Therefore, as soon as Duan Rong agreed to her, Shen Mizhi believed that Duan Rong must have found a way to save her father.

Liu Shushan's face was a little uncertain. He suddenly looked at Duan Rong and said, "Brother Duan, this matter is very important. Are you sure you can save Uncle Shen?"

Duan Rong glanced at Liu Shushan and immediately understood what he meant.

Liu Shushan was afraid of being implicated, which was human nature. The entire Liu family was in Ruyang Mansion. He had already taken a risk by leaving Shen Mizhi in this secret courtyard.

Duan Rong looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Shushan, we will neither rob the prison nor the execution ground. Not only will I save Shen Mizhi's father, but I promise that no one here will be exposed!"

Liu Shushan's face flushed slightly. Duan Rong had obviously seen through his hidden worries. However, he really couldn't think of how to save people if he didn't rob the prison or the execution ground? Would he turn a living person into a living person?

Although Duan Rong's words were quite confident, everyone present was worried.

After all, this case was personally supervised by Chen Xun, the owner of Ruyang Mansion. This person had a group of guests, including many martial arts masters and some people with strange skills.

To save people from him without being exposed, if Duan Rong hadn't solved many strange cases and had already impressed them, would they really think Duan Rong was talking nonsense?

"Since we have decided to do it, we should act immediately without delay!" Duan Rong said vigorously.

After all, he only has ten days, and half of the first day has passed. Time is really not enough!

Duan Rong looked at Shen Mizhi and said in a deep voice: "Mizhi, you must return to the case immediately and finish the half-finished case in your hand. And you must leave on the night of the tenth day!"

"Ah..." Shen Mizhi didn't expect that Duan Rong would ask her to leave right away. Her father was in the dungeon of the prefecture city and could be executed at any time. How could she leave? How could she have the heart to handle the case?

Duan Rong knew that Shen Mizhi couldn't accept it. "I know, this is a bit difficult! But it must be like this! Your alibi is a very important part of my plan!"

Although Shen Mizhi saw Duan Rong say this, her eyes were still hesitant.

Duan Rong turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and said, "You go with her. Even if she goes, she won't have the energy to handle the case. You help her handle it."

Xiao Yu nodded when he heard this, and immediately understood what Duan Rong meant.

Duan Rong was worried that Shen Mizhi couldn't stay there alone, and might run back again, so he asked her to go with him, half to help her handle the case, and half to watch her.

Duan Rong said, "You go now. When you get there, change into your original clothes, and report to the government office every day so that those people can see you!"

Shen Mizhi suddenly looked at Duan Rong in a daze when she heard this, and said, "Brother Duan, can you really save my father? If you can really save my father, I will listen to you and leave now."

Shen Mizhi really couldn't bear to leave at this time, she needed Duan Rong to tell her again.

Duan Rong looked at Shen Mizhi's face and knew what she was thinking. He suddenly said, "Mizhi, don't worry! If I can't save your father, I will chop off Ximen Kankan's head and use it as a chamber pot for you."

"Hiss~" Ximen Kankan took a breath of cold air when he heard it. "Fuck you! What does this have to do with me? Why chop me? Besides, she is a woman, does she need a chamber pot? Is it necessary?"

Xiao Yu and Liu Shushan were slightly amused by Ximen Kankan's funny look.

But Shen Mizhi and Duan Rong both looked serious.

For some reason, Duan Rong's illogical and absurd words instantly made Shen Mizhi feel like she had taken a reassurance pill, and her anxious and torn heart instantly settled down.

"Okay, I believe you!" Shen Mizhi said, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Yu immediately walked up to Duan Rong and said, "Are you sure?"

Duan Rong said calmly, "About 80% to 90%."

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then I'm leaving. Be careful!"

Duan Rong instructed, "Keep an eye on that girl, don't let her cause trouble for me, and I won't have any problems."

"I know." Xiao Yu hurried out to chase Shen Mizhi.
