C1267 Interrogation
Although he really wanted to arrest this man and interrogate him, he wanted to know what exactly he wanted to do and what kind of deal he had with the City Lord Mansion.
However, Zhang Fann still held himself back. He had to fish for the big fish in order to avoid alerting the enemy. It was better to let him hand the child over to the City Lord Mansion first. It wouldn't be too late to make a move after he came out of there and found a quiet place.
Zhang Fann followed this man, but this man didn't seem to notice Zhang Fann's existence. He continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived at the back door of City Lord Mansion, someone opened the door for him. They brought the sack and the child inside. After that, they gave him a bag of Spirit Stones and closed the back door.
That person held the bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, and his face was filled with joy. When he saw the Spirit Stone in his hand, he really loved it. He pulled the carriage and walked into the distance.
When the man walked to a dark place, Zhang Fann rushed out from the side. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground. He was on the ground.
With an exclamation, the person on the ground was a little surprised. He didn't understand who this person was and why he suddenly appeared. Could it be that he ran into some gangsters in the city?
Thinking of this, this person hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. He took out the Spirit Stone in his hand and said to Zhang Fann, "Sir, I don't know where I offended you. This lowly one is only doing some small business. I don't have anything valuable on me. If you don't mind, please accept these Spirit Stones and spare my life."
After saying that, the man handed the Spirit Stone to Zhang Fann with a pious look. It was indeed for the sake of survival. Otherwise, he would never have done that.
Zhang Fann took a look at this man, and felt that he was just a middle-aged man. Furthermore, his cultivation base was pitifully low, and he had just reached the Shackles Stage. He looked a little shifty, and indeed didn't look like a good person.
"No, I don't want the Spirit Stone in your hand." Zhang Fann shook his head and said to the middle-aged man. His tone was flat, and he didn't take these Spirit Stones seriously at all.
Although Zhang Fann's tone was very calm when he spoke, the middle-aged man felt his entire body trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Because in the martial world, most of the time, some things could be solved by relying on Spirit Stones. Therefore, problems that could be solved with Spirit Stones were basically not considered problems anymore. However, he was afraid that there were some things that couldn't be solved by Spirit Stones. In this way, some things would become even more troublesome.
The middle-aged man thought to himself. It seemed like he had really encountered some trouble today. It would be really difficult for him to escape. Looking at the situation now, if he wanted to save his life, he could only act according to the situation.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Fann asked this man, "I just want to understand some of the situation. Don't be nervous. If you can answer truthfully... "I promise you that nothing will happen to you, but... I found out that you were cheating and didn't take this matter to heart. "If you're just spouting nonsense, then don't blame me for being impolite."
The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and said to Zhang Fann, "Rest assured, Master. As long as I know what you are asking, I will tell you everything I know."
Zhang Fann nodded and asked him, "You have been doing business with City Lord Mansion recently, right? What kind of business do you do exactly? "Tell me more about it."
Hearing Zhang Fann's question, the middle-aged man quickly responded to Zhang Fann. "Yes, yes. Recently, the City Lord Mansion has mentioned that they want to accept children under the age of seventeen. There is no limit to whether they are male or female. Every one of them is given a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones. I just gave one to them, and it's the Spirit Stone I got."
Zhang Fann nodded and said to him, "Then can you come out and testify that this matter will be blown up, and tell everyone in Yan City about it?"
After hearing Zhang Fann's words, the middle-aged man immediately shook his head and said, "No, I can't. If City Lord Deng Yuanzhou finds out that I was the one who did this, I will die a graveless death. No, I absolutely can't do that. If you really want to force me, then kill me. "
After listening to what Zhang Fann said, he was somewhat curious. This man was actually willing to pay the price of his own life to not testify against the City Lord for all the crimes he had committed. Why was he unwilling to testify against the City Lord?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fann said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Get up and speak. Regarding this matter, why can't you expose the numerous crimes of the City Lord? Could it be that you have the heart to see so many children being murdered?"
After the middle-aged man heard Zhang Fann's words, he couldn't help but sigh and explain to Zhang Fann. It turned out that the name of the City Lord in Yan City was Deng Yuanzhou. He was a man of high prestige and was a good person. He was kind and kind, and he helped others to their heart's content.
To a good person like him, he was especially loved by people. Under their governance, the entire Yan City was very good. It was only because of this that the city had become prosperous today.
However, in the past year, this Deng Yuanzhou had somehow fallen into some kind of evil and had found him in secret. Furthermore, he didn't say anything. He only said that if he found a child below the age of seventeen, it would be fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones.
Regarding this matter, the middle-aged man was also very puzzled. However, since he was in a difficult situation, these fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones were still very attractive. Thus, he began to send the captured child to City Lord Mansion every night.
In the beginning, the middle-aged man couldn't bear to do anything to these children. However, after doing it a few times, the middle-aged man became numb and didn't think too much about it.
During this period of time, children were constantly disappearing in the city, causing panic in the entire city. At this time, the city lord of City Lord Mansion, Deng Yuanzhou, stood out and expressed his willingness to send troops to help everyone find the whereabouts of these innocent children. He also pointed the spearhead at the foreigners of the Yan City.
Therefore, after the City Lord Mansion made this move, Deng Yuanzhou would be loved and loved by everyone in the city. It could even be said that many people were very supportive of him.
At the same time, Deng Yuanzhou did this to show off the middle-aged man and the others. His intention was very obvious. If these people would leak the secret of the City Lord Mansion, then they would definitely not succeed.
First of all, the status of the City Lord Mansion in the entire Yan City was, after all, the world that had won the hearts of the people. Currently, the City Lord Mansion had won the hearts of the people. Therefore, even if someone came out to report it, Basically, no one would believe that the City Lord Mansion would do such a thing.1
Secondly, once this matter was exposed, those people who went out to kidnap the children would die a miserable death. Moreover, their reputation would be ruined, and they would become criminals who kidnapped children.
To put it bluntly, the City Lord Mansion and the middle-aged man were now working together. As long as nothing happened, they were still in the same group, and they still maintained this kind of relationship. However, if something really happened, given Deng Yuanzhou's character, he would definitely turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge anyone.
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Zhang Fann nodded in his heart. He felt that what the middle-aged man said made some sense. This was a fact.
Therefore, even if he wanted this middle-aged man to expose all the crimes in City Lord Mansion in public, no one would believe him. After all, the image of the City Lord Mansion in everyone's heart was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In order to make a change, unless there was something fundamental that touched it, it would affect the status of the City Lord Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fann said to the middle-aged man, "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with you. However, are you sure that those kidnapped children are safe?"
The middle-aged man frowned. He replied to Zhang Fann, "I just used a drug to get these children unconscious. It didn't have any effect on them. However, after entering the City Lord Mansion, how should I deal with the fate of these children? That's hard to say. "
