Chapter 261 Fan Jian is confused
Inside the prison, dim lights swayed on the walls, illuminating mottled shadows.
Zhao Yingluo sat on the cold stone slab. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she still couldn't hide her nobility and majesty.
Wen Boyuan had already been paid out by her in the name of raising money. At this moment, she was alone, facing the darkness outside the prison door.
With a proud smile on his face, Fan Jian looked at Zhao Yingluo in the cell, as if he had already seen the silver in his hand.
Although Zhao Yingluo was angry in her heart, her face remained calm. She decided to extract Fan Jian's words first to learn more about the inside story.
So, she asked: "County Magistrate Fan, you are so wantonly deducting relief funds from poor students, aren't you afraid that your superiors will investigate you?"
When Fan Jian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then an even more proud smile appeared on his face.
He walked to Zhao Yingluo's cell door and lowered his voice and said: "Hmph, do you think the prefect is just a breeze? Let me tell you, half of the stolen money went into the pocket of the prefect Weng Yanguo. Who is he checking? Check him. alone?"
Zhao Yingluo was shocked. It turned out that Fan Jian and the prefect Weng Yanguo were colluding. No wonder he dared to deduct the relief money so unscrupulously.
Seeing that Zhao Yingluo stopped talking, Fan Jian thought that she was frightened by his words, so he said even more proudly: "Huh, who do you think you are? Dare to go against me? Let me tell you, in Wuxian, I say the same thing, who dares Resist me and I will make him look good!"
Zhao Yingluo sneered, and the laughter echoed in the empty prison, carrying a bit of sarcasm and disdain.
She raised her head, her clear eyes shining with determination, and she looked directly into Fan Jian's eyes full of greed and treachery.
Although her voice was not loud, every word shot into Fan Jian's heart like a sharp arrow: "Do you think no one knows about the things you do? Do you think you can sit back and relax if you collude with the prefect? Let me tell you, Skynet is careful and careful, and one day you will pay the price for what you have done!"
Faced with Zhao Yingluo's warning, Fan Jian did not show the slightest trace of panic or guilt on his face.
On the contrary, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which revealed his greed for money and power and his contempt for the weak.
He shook his head, as if laughing at Zhao Yingluo's innocence and ignorance.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? How dare you talk nonsense here!" Fan Jian's tone was full of disdain and threats, "After Wen Boyuan raises the money for me, you two can indeed go out. But if you can't control it, Shut your mouth and dare to talk nonsense outside, I, Fan Jian, guarantee that you will come back to this prison again!"
After saying this, Fan Jian turned around and left. His fat body looked even more ugly and hateful in the dim light. He left the prison shaking his head, as if he had already seen the moment when the money was obtained.
Wen Boyuan came out of the dark, damp and cold prison and hurried back to Zui Furong as soon as possible.
The night has not faded completely, but the lights are already brightly lit inside Zui Hibiscus. The three maids, Chun Tao, Luluo and Qiu Ju, are like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously, looking out the door from time to time, looking forward to the princess and Wen Boyuan's meeting. Return.
When Wen Boyuan's familiar figure appeared at the door, the three of them greeted him almost at the same time.
However, they soon discovered that there was no Princess behind Wen Boyuan. The expressions of the three of them suddenly changed. Chuntao asked eagerly: "Commander Wen, why are you the only one back? Where is the Princess? Is she okay?"
Wen Boyuan took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "Your Highness the Princess is fine. She asked me to go out and mobilize the troops first. Our plan is to capture the county magistrate Fan Jian and his gang members in one fell swoop, and at the same time use thunder to It’s not enough to cover up the situation and capture the prefect Weng Yanguo!”
After hearing that the princess was fine, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Chuntao then said: "Commander Wen, I have sent people to mobilize troops from the Wuwei Army outside the city. I expect they will arrive in Wu County after dawn. What should we do next?"
Wen Boyuan nodded and glanced at Chuntao appreciatively: "You did a good job. Now, all we need to do is wait. Wait for the arrival of the Wuwei Army, wait for the moment of dawn, and then we will take down Wu County in one fell swoop and rescue the princess. Your Highness!" At this time, the sky in the east has turned white, and the dawn is about to fill the earth.
Wen Boyuan knew that time was running out and he had to act as soon as possible.
So, he ordered Chuntao, Lu Luo and Qiu Ju to stay in Zui Furong to wait for news, while he quietly left Wu County and went to the place agreed with Lei Ming, the trainer of the Wuwei Legion.
On the outskirts of Wu County, a mighty team was quickly arriving.
That was Lei Ming, the regimental commander of the Wuwei Army. He led three thousand elite soldiers and marched all night just to rescue the imprisoned Princess.
When they saw Wen Boyuan's figure outside the city, Lei Ming immediately ordered the team to stop and then met him personally.
"Wen Boyuan, how is the situation? Where is Her Royal Highness now?" Lei Ming asked eagerly as soon as they met.
Wen Boyuan walked side by side with Lei Ming and briefly told him the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess was behind bars.
After hearing this, Lei Ming's eyes widened and he asked angrily: "Then why is Wu County Magistrate Fan Jian so bold and dares to imprison Her Royal Highness in prison?"
Wen Boyuan sighed and explained: "In order to investigate the whereabouts of the relief money, Her Royal Highness the Princess made a private visit incognito without revealing her identity. Fan Jian was greedy by nature. When he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess alone, he thought he had an opportunity and treated her as an ordinary person. The people held tight to the prison."
When Lei Ming heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "This Fan Jian is so bold that even Her Highness the Princess dares to touch him! I will cut him into pieces to satisfy the hatred in my heart!"
While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside Wuxian County.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Lei Ming, the regimental commander of the Wuwei Army, they did not dare to show any signs of neglect and quickly opened the city gate to let him go. Lei Ming led three thousand elite soldiers and marched into the county seat in a mighty manner.
It was already dark at this time, and the people in Wuxian County walked out of their homes one after another. Seeing this menacing team, they were too frightened to say anything.
Lei Ming ignored them and led the team straight to the county government office.
The guards at the county government office were frightened to death when they saw the Wuwei army surrounding the county government office.
They knew that something big was going on this time, and even the regimental training envoy came personally with troops. Something big must have happened.
Lei Ming ordered that the county government be surrounded, and not even a fly could fly out.
He personally led Wen Boyuan and a group of soldiers into the county government gate.
When the officials and servants in the county government saw this scene, they were trembling with fear and did not dare to resist at all.
Lei Ming saw the county magistrate Fan Jian sitting in the hall at a glance. He strode forward, grabbed Fan Jian's collar, and lifted him up from the chair.
Fan Jian was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "Lei Tuan Commander, please spare my life! I don't know how I have offended you. Please be kind and let me go!"
Lei Ming glared at Fan Jian and shouted sternly: "You are so audacious that you dare to imprison Her Highness the Princess in a prison! Do you know your guilt?"
When Fan Jian heard the words "Her Royal Highness", his face turned pale with fear. He stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Highness the Princess? I don't know... I don't know! Please be aware of this!"
Lei Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly ordered Fan Jian and the government officials to be tied up.
