Hundreds of people were able to clean up the mess quickly.
In less than two hours, more than seventy people had been picked out from the crowd of more than seven hundred people.
What a terrifying number this was!
It was these seventy-odd people who had almost caused Cheng Yaojin to be branded with an indelible infamy! It was even a tragedy where his family would be exterminated.
There was even something deeper!
However, at this moment, Wei Shuyu waved her hand and ordered these people to be sent to the prison in Chang 'an City to await the Emperor's punishment.
The rest of the people had either committed suicide by taking poison.
Or they were tied up and hung from a book.
Wei Shuyu pulled out a sharp and narrow knife from her bosom and gently flicked the blade in her hand.
She inspected the crowd. .
"Are you saying? Or die? Or are you waiting for us to find out, and then you can wait for your family members to accompany you on your journey? "
"Wei Shuyu! Since we've fallen, we'll admit it! I'm … "
"Pfft …"
Without waiting for him to finish, the knife in Wei Shuyu's hand gently slit his neck.
It was like cutting pork.
"Hehehe …"
Before that person could finish his words, only streams of blood were left, accompanied by gurgling sounds from his throat. The mournful sound made the people who were tied up tremble in fear.
"Speak! If anyone reveals the mastermind behind this matter, I guarantee that you and your family will be able to live out the rest of your life peacefully. Otherwise … "
"You can try the interrogation methods of the Jinwu Guards!"
"Don't think that I don't know anything. You're backed by the Guanlong Group, aren't you?"
When everyone heard this, their eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
But that was all.
If they still didn't know by now, then they would really be fools.
"Shuyu, take them back to the Supreme Court!"
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin urged his horse forward.
He didn't even look at these people.
He waved his hand and said, "String them up one by one for Lao Tzu and drag them all the way back to Chang 'an!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian wanted to say something.
But in the end, he didn't say it.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at him and didn't say anything.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chang 'an garrison to guard these merchants in the woods. Then, he led the imperial guards back to Chang' an.
On the way.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the pale-faced Li Chengqian and asked, "Does the crown prince feel that our methods are too cruel?"
"Yes! Uncle Cheng, since the matter has been investigated, why don't you give them a quick death? Why do you want to do this? "
Cheng Yaojin fell silent.
He pointed at Wei Shuyu and said, "Shuyu is a good kid!"
"Have you ever thought that if you show even the slightest bit of mercy today, then you don't deserve to be the Emperor!"
"You are still too young to understand these things. Learn from your father and talk to Brother Zhang Feng more. You will understand that this world is not as beautiful as you imagine it to be!"
"You've heard it too. If my subordinates couldn't hold themselves back and killed these commoners today, and you happened to be here, can you imagine the consequences?"
Li Chengqian closed his eyes in pain.
However, the insults those people said to Cheng Yaojin still flashed in his mind.
If it were him, he would definitely order people to kill them!
"If you really want to kill them, then you have fallen into a trap!"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed with horror.
He continued, "They are forcing us to act! Once we act, we will kill the commoners by mistake. The Old Man will also be punished for their crimes. Regardless of whether it is true or not, regardless of whether your father knows the Old Man's character, my Cheng family will be destroyed! "
"Do you know?"
Li Chengqian fell silent.
At this time, if he still didn't understand, then he would be a fool.
It was also at this time that Li Chengqian realized the treachery.
He had always thought that the Guanlong Group was just a group of merchants. However, after investigating yesterday, he was shocked to find out that the earliest incarnation of the Guanlong Eight Great Families was actually the Northern Army and a group of merchants who formed an alliance!
After all these years of development, they had even infiltrated many people in the imperial court!
"Uncle Cheng, I understand now!"
"It's good that you understand!"
"In the future, learn more from your father. Actually, you don't understand your father!"
The atmosphere fell silent again.
This was because they had already arrived at the city gate.
A large group of people had gathered at the city gate. They had snatched the goods and were preparing to enter the city. At this time, they were cursing the guards on the city wall.
When they saw Cheng Yaojin and the rest, they surrounded them again.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned cold. He waved his hand and said, "Arrest all those who have goods in their hands!"
Li Chengqian was shocked.
He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Cheng, these … these are commoners! You can't arrest them! "
"And this is the city gate! If you arrest them, it will definitely cause a commotion! "
"A commotion?"
Cheng Yaojin smiled when he saw the imperial guards swarming forward.
"Do you know that the goods outside the city haven't decreased at all? Then tell me, where did these goods come from?"
"…"
