Ceng Cheng now had Xue Tong under his control.
He had the initiative.
Therefore, no matter how Xue Tong was, he was unwilling to confess the situation. But the problem was that Xue Tong had a weakness. Xue Tong still had things he cared about, so he was restrained.
It was impossible for him to be flawless.
He had to be controlled by Ceng Cheng.
Xue Tong looked at Ceng Cheng's face. In his heart, he wanted to kill Ceng Cheng.
Because Ceng Cheng was despicable.
He actually threatened him.
However, Xue Tong didn't dare to make a move.
Xue Tong took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to cooperate. I'm willing to tell you the person behind this."
Ceng Cheng smiled and said, "That's right. Tell me what's going on. Now that things have come to this, you have no other choice but to confess honestly. To be honest, your martial arts are good. You can still turn back. "
Xue Tong's cheeks twitched.
He didn't believe Ceng Cheng's words at all.
However, Xue Tong didn't insist on anything and said directly, "The person who asked me to assassinate you is Duan Long. In our Yongye County, Duan Long is also a … "
"Say no more!"
Ceng Cheng reached out to stop him and said, "I know Duan Long. This time, was he the only one who wanted to assassinate you?"
As the local bully of Yongye County, Ceng Cheng naturally knew Duan Long.
After all, Duan Long wasn't a nobody.
He was the patriarch of a big clan.
Xue Tong shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation. The only thing I know is that Duan Long found me and asked me to assassinate you. I didn't want to take on this matter at first. On the one hand, it was dangerous. On the other hand, he gave me a thousand taels of gold, so I took it. "
Ceng Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so fond of talents. In front of money, you really don't want your own life for money. "
Xue Tong said, "I'm not fond of money. It's just that I have people to support. I need a lot of money, so I took it directly when Xue Tong gave me so much money. "
Ceng Cheng said, "I'm curious. Why did you take so much money?"
Ceng Cheng was curious about this matter.
Perhaps this was related to Xue Tong's concern.
Because Xue Tong still had things he cared about, Ceng Cheng's threats were enough to make Xue Tong cooperate.
Xue Tong didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm an orphan, so I'm very clear about the pain of being an orphan. So now that I can make money, I raise some orphans so that they can grow up safely and learn how to read and write. Now that everyone needs money, I can't die. Therefore, this money is very important. "
Ceng Cheng raised his brows in surprise.
He didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Xue Tong, this official has misunderstood you," said Ceng Cheng. Alright, I won't pursue the matter of your assassination this time. You don't have to get involved in Duan Long's matters anymore. I will make the arrangements myself. "
"Yes!"
Xue Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, he survived.
As long as he was alive, he could continue to earn money and raise these orphans.
This was Xue Tong's plan.
Ceng Cheng didn't release Xue Tong for the time being. Instead, he ordered Fan Pingping to immediately transfer the soldiers from Yongye County. Du Qi had indeed left with the army, but in fact, Du Qi had left a certain number of troops behind.
It was just that they hadn't exposed it yet.
Ceng Cheng led two thousand soldiers and left the county government office, heading straight to Duan Long's residence.
When they arrived at the Duan residence, Ceng Cheng ordered the soldiers to surround the residence and let them break in.
Duan Long was now waiting for good news.
He didn't expect Ceng Cheng to come.
They even surrounded the residence.
Duan Long looked around and saw Xue Tong. He raised his brows and immediately shouted, "Xue Tong, how dare you betray me! As a Ranger, where are the basic rules of a Ranger? You can't even keep this little bit of trust. "
At this moment, Duan Long regretted it.
Damn it, every Ranger was known to be benevolent, righteous, and confidential.
They wouldn't leak any information.
However, Duan Long didn't expect Xue Tong to betray him.
Xue Tong didn't say a word.
He had no choice.
Who asked Ceng Cheng to be so powerful?
Xue Tong couldn't deal with Ceng Cheng, and in order to take care of the many orphans he adopted, he could only betray Duan Long. Otherwise, Xue Tong wouldn't have been able to survive.
Ceng Cheng said indifferently, "Duan Long, what else do you have to say? Now, are you going to surrender, or are you going to fight and be taken down in the end? "
Duan Long knew that he couldn't escape this time.
How could he escape when the army was here?
Duan Long said, "Ceng Cheng, why are you so sure that there will be an assassination? You actually avoided Xue Tong's assassination."
Ceng Cheng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Duan Long, Duan Long, you're really arrogant. You think that I can't stop the assassination. But in fact, the reason why Young Master left with the army and pretended that the army was leaving was to give the people in Yongye County a chance to make a move. "
"Only in this way can we catch all of them in one fell swoop."
"Otherwise, there will always be a certain danger in Yongye County."
"I didn't expect to bait you out this time. Duan Long, Duan Long, you can be considered a noble in the county. Although you're not particularly outstanding, you have a certain amount of power. "
Ceng Cheng said, "Tell me, who are your accomplices? As long as you confess honestly, I'll give you a lighter sentence after the matter is investigated. "
Duan Long clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He said fiercely, "Ceng Cheng, you wish. You're a citizen of Yongye County, but in the end, you betrayed Yongye County and caused us to be in trouble everywhere. "
"Every family with land has suffered a blow."
"Now, the land is in the hands of the government."
"What do we eat and drink now? Do you think we can only rely on the money given by the government? Ceng Cheng, Ceng Cheng, you're living a carefree life, but you don't care about us at all. "
Duan Long's eyes were sharp. He gritted his teeth and said, "You keep saying that it's for the people. Could it be that we are not ordinary people? "
Ceng Cheng said indifferently, "Quibble!"
Duan Long said, "So what if I'm quibbling? I'm quibbling. What can you do to me?"
Ceng Cheng ordered, "Take him down!"
The soldiers under his command stepped forward and took Duan Long down. At this time, Duan Long did not struggle. At the same time, he shouted for the Duan family to dismiss the guards and everyone in the family.
Because the Duan family was gone.
Those who stayed in the Duan family would suffer.
Ceng Cheng saw this scene and sneered. He directly ordered that the Duan family's resources were not to be taken away.
Everyone in the Duan family was to be investigated.
Everything was to be sealed.
After Duan Long heard this, he knew that the Duan family was finished. He cursed Ceng Cheng, but more than that, Duan Long's heart was filled with fear.
What should he do?
What should he do now?
Ceng Cheng did not care about Duan Long's inner thoughts. He just directly imprisoned Duan Long and then began the interrogation.
