Chapter 133 Interrogation
"Your garbage has naturally been cleaned up, so don't think they can come to rescue you. It's best to honestly explain all the problems that need to be explained."
Song Chuji didn't care about his face at all, he stepped over him, went straight to the high seat, sat down obediently, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at the people crying in front of him with interest.
They are all grown men. Weren’t they so arrogant when they were bullying the weak little girl just now?
Humans are indeed despicable. They wag their tails and beg for mercy when facing creatures stronger than themselves, but once they meet creatures weaker than themselves and whom they can dominate at will, they turn into demons.
What my mother said was indeed right. If I want to survive, I have to turn myself into a beast without any humanity!
He always kept in mind that he was never merciful to anyone.
I watched as he interrogated people and dealt with the filthy garbage in the county magistrate's mansion. After a whole day of hard work, his body was covered in blood and he looked so dirty!
It was gradually getting dark outside. He wanted to go back and coax his Shuangshuang, but he didn't have the time to stay in this shabby place any longer!
"Chen Wanzhang! Have you thought it through? Speak quickly!"
Looking at his cowardly and indecisive appearance, Song Chuji no longer had any patience left.
Chen Wanzhang was sweating profusely. He had never been so nervous in his life. He wiped the coldness from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I know very little. I only know that man... He suddenly appeared in Lingfeng City. I didn't trust him before, but later..."
As he said this, he looked up at Song Chuji guiltily.
"What happened next?"
The man tapped the table with one hand, as if he was very dissatisfied with the speed at which he hesitated in replying. His brows were slightly frowned, and his handsome features were cold and deep, making men fear him.
"Later, that mysterious man was very good at making money. In just a few months, his clothes seemed to be sold by God. A lot of people bought them. From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone liked their clothes.
The original garment workshops were all acquired by them, or suppressed and closed down and changed their business. At that time, I just thought he was making a lot of money, but I didn’t expect…”
Chen Wanzhang thought about it and swallowed his saliva. His small eyes, as big as green beans, were filled with lust as if he remembered something.
Song Chuji felt physically uncomfortable after watching it. Why was it so disgusting?
"That person came to please me, set up a banquet and asked me to help him move some things. I asked him about it, and he said he was addicted to hallucinogens.
It won't kill you, but it will make the people who wear these clothes dependent on them, and they will have to buy them frequently.
If something like this is mixed into the skin, it will cause itching and pain over time."
Chen Wanzhang didn't know that this was a poison that could kill people. He thought it was just something that would make people hallucinate and consume more.
Plus……
That man not only gave a golden banquet, but also a peerless beauty from the Western Regions. She was really charming and beautiful, but not as gentle and beautiful as the women here.
They were dressed very charmingly, with their snow-white skin exposed and their graceful curves were irresistible. He... faced with such beauty, he could not control himself and picked two of the most beautiful ones, and spent a night with them until the sun was high in the sky.
After waking up, he found that something was wrong with his body. He then realized that the wine had been mixed with poison while he was drunk. Although it would not be fatal, an antidote was needed to save his life.
The antidote is in the hands of that mysterious man, and no one can find it except him.
In other words, the only way for him to survive is to be loyal to the mysterious man in black. Otherwise, he can only wait for death.
How could a coward like Chen Wanzhang go against someone who holds his life in his hands?
Without even a second thought, he immediately agreed to be that mysterious man's lackey. His speed of changing his face was quite impressive.
Unexpectedly, that person was not a stingy person. He immediately promised that he would be able to get whatever he wanted in the future and he would not have to worry about anything. He could be like an emperor here.
Chen Wanzhang is a very vain and ambitious person, and he doesn't know his own limitations because of being flattered by others.
Later, all the people in the city were poisoned. The moment he found out, he felt like the sky was falling.
The four words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" written on the examination papers in the past have become a joke. While saying "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", people turn around and completely betray the people of a city!
The guilt in his heart almost buried him completely, and he also argued with that person, but what could he do?
He himself is being controlled by others, and he has in his hand a deadly threat to him, the antidote to the poison!
Chen Wanzhang had no choice but to go against his conscience and use the antidote to control the people of the city to obey his orders.
However, although this poison has an antidote, all medicine is toxic. No matter how effective the antidote is, it cannot guarantee that it will not cause any harm to the body.
On the contrary, because he had to take the antidote every month, he would feel excruciating pain if he didn't use it. He knew the feeling of the poison taking effect best.
Therefore, no one in the city dared to resist him, and countless people died from long-term poisoning.
When Chen Wanzhang talks about it now, he still feels that he destroyed the entire city.
If he had refused sternly and not gotten entangled with that person, none of this would have happened today.
But in the end, I couldn't resist the temptation and got closer and closer to that person. I fell into his trap accidentally and one wrong step led to another!
He cried sincerely, and Song Chuji was almost moved by his moving acting skills. He sneered, "If County Magistrate Chen was a woman, I would suspect that you were the leading actress of the opera troupe. Your acting skills are really unmatched by ordinary people."
It was obvious that he just couldn't overcome his own greed. That person was insidious and cunning, and was best at playing with people's hearts. How could he not take advantage of such a big flaw and weakness?
No one is a fool while living in this world!
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! Please, Your Majesty, grant me death and put an end to it all!"
He kowtowed emotionally to express his regret, but Song Chuji, sitting on a high seat, was not moved at all.
He has seen many people like him. When they encounter trouble, they rely on crying and throwing tantrums to ask for lighter punishment.
Concubine Xuan had such an expression on her face back then. It was obvious that she was arrogant and abused the concubines. After she cried bitterly with her eloquent speech, she didn't pursue the matter at all.
Do you really think tears are omnipotent?
When had Song Chuji ever fallen for this?
"Someone, come! Lock up Chen Wanzhang. Watch out. Let the entire county magistrate's mansion resume its festive appearance. Let the girls continue to dress up in bright colors. Don't let outsiders see any flaws!"
Isn’t that person coming to the county magistrate’s mansion to deliver the antidote?
We'll settle the accounts once he comes!
As long as we control the county magistrate's mansion, there is no need to worry that he will not come!
