Chapter 97: Joint Arrest
Calm,
Must be calm.
Du Sanye clenched his hands, trying hard to look calm, but how could that strange expression escape Wang Yang's eyes?
Actually, it wasn't that Du Sanye wasn't experienced, it was really the suspicion and fear caused by being a thief with a guilty conscience.
Du Sanye thought, if Wang Yang came up and asked him for A-Wu, that would be fine. That would mean Wang Yang mentioning the Prince of Luling when asking Shopkeeper Xue to pass the message was just using the Prince of Luling's banner to scare him.
He had calculated and hoped for this on the way here.
But seeing Wang Yang, he realized it wasn't like that at all.
A-Wu was lost, Wang Yang came to the door, didn't ask about A-Wu, and directly talked about the Prince of Luling. That was probably because he already knew about that matter!
No, not necessarily. He only knew that A-Wu involved the Prince of Luling, but didn't know how it involved him. It must be like this!
Du Sanye held onto a glimmer of hope, but didn't expect that Wang Yang hadn't linked the kidnapping of A-Wu to the Prince of Luling at all!
Wang Yang just thought that since Third Master Du's relationship with the Prince of Luling was here, and people said the Prince of Luling was the real owner behind the Guangyuan Mansion, they had been colluding in business for so long that there must be some secret illegal things. So he used the topic of the Prince of Luling to stall for time, but didn't expect to run into the moment A-Wu was kidnapped, and A-Wu's matter happened to be able to pull out a heaven-shaking case of the Prince of Luling!
That was a crime punishable by the extermination of three clans!
Plus, Wang Yang had previously asked Shopkeeper Xue to pass the message, saying it concerned Du Sanye's life. This was originally Wang Yang's exaggerated intimidation because he was afraid Du Sanye wouldn't come, but who could have thought that these words would happen to fit the facts! It was no wonder Du Sanye was terrified and suspicious.
Du Sanye said with a stiff expression:
"The Young Master can joke with this small person, but you cannot joke with the Prince. Even the Langya Wang clan cannot slander a prince or frame a prince."
"Joking? Do you think I'm joking?"
"As for slander and framing, where does that come from? I admire the Prince of Luling too much!"
Wang Yang tutted twice:
"The Prince of Luling, good, really good. The third son of the Emperor, appointed as General of the Central Army, added the title of Shizhong, entering and leaving the palace gate without prohibition. This is how noble and glorious! But with the Prince's good fortune, these are nothing..."
Du Sanye's brain went boom!!!
He only felt that everything around him seemed to be pulled away in an instant! Even Wang Yang's face became a bit distorted! A voice kept echoing in his heart:
He knew!
He really knew!!
Wang Yang looked at Du Sanye's expression, and his doubts grew.
What on earth did you two do that you are scared like this?
He wanted to get some words out of Du Sanye, but he knew too little about the Prince of Luling. The only bit of identity information was what he had temporarily asked Yuyang Le Pang and Chen Qingshan on the cart just now.
So Wang Yang didn't speak, just smiled at Du Sanye,
This smile fell into Du Sanye's eyes and naturally became an expression of knowing everything and having everything in his grasp,
He was sweating profusely, and anxiety and fear came like a tide, as if to drown him.
If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally want to silence him immediately, but this person was of the Langya Wang clan. If he killed him, he would definitely have no way to survive.
Besides, who could guarantee that only he knew? Maybe this information was leaked to him by someone else. Since he dared to come here and dismiss his attendants, he must have nothing to fear,
What does he want to do?
Is he trying to threaten me? Or is he trying to reach some deal with the Prince...
When a large group of bailiffs rushed into the Guangyuan Mansion, what they saw was Third Master Du's bloodless face and Wang Yang's unfathomable smile.
Although Yuyang Le Pang didn't fabricate A-Wu's identity to the Jiangling County Magistrate, this was the Bieja's son coming forward, holding the Bieja's post, to save the retainer of the Langya Wang clan.
What was the concept of the Bieja Mansion coming forward? It was equivalent to the provincial government skipping the commandery level and directly finding a municipal unit.
How could Jiangling County dare to be negligent? They mobilized more than a hundred people in total!
The County Lieutenant, the Thief-Catching Official, the Township Patrol Officer, and the Thief-Investigation Official were all in place!
The County Lieutenant was in charge of military affairs and directly mobilized archers;
The Thief-Catching Official was a county official, in charge of arresting thieves.
The Township Patrol Officer was a township official, responsible for patrolling and banning thieves;
The Thief-Cao Official was a county-level prison official, in charge of criminal cases, and actually brought people to participate in the arrest!
The momentum of this joint action was too great, so much so that Du Sanye's men were stunned when they saw this battle formation. Those who didn't know would have thought this was to clear out mountain bandits!
Du Sanye had just been scared by Wang Yang, and suddenly seeing so many officials, he collapsed on his seat, thinking that the matter with the Prince of Luling had been exposed, and said tremblingly: "You... what do you want to do?"
County Lieutenant Chen arched his hands: "Third Master, we are also acting on orders, please don't blame us." Then he turned to Wang Yang and bowed: "Jiangling County Lieutenant Chen Kangzu, meets Young Master Wang."
Wang Yang asked anxiously: "Has the person been saved?"
County Lieutenant Chen was about to report when Yuyang Le Pang, Chen Qingshan, and the Strong Man led A-Wu in.
"Young Master!"
Little A-Wu saw Wang Yang, immediately ran over, threw herself at his legs, hugged him tightly, her small body still trembling, and said with a sobbing tone: "A-Wu didn't cry!"
Du Sanye saw A-Wu, and his body froze instantly.
Fell into a trap!
He was not a stupid person, but he was too guilty, and by mistake, he was bluffed by Wang Yang.
Now he reacted immediately. If he was sitting in command, the officials would not dare to go in and search for people at all! They would not find where the little girl was. Wang Yang's intention was to lure the tiger away from the mountain and delay time.
Thinking carefully about what Wang Yang said just now, there was no substantial content, all of it was inducing him to scare himself! Thinking of this layer, he couldn't help but hate himself for being stupid and not noticing, and actually being taken advantage of by a hairy boy!
Wang Yang saw that A-Wu was fine and finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he wasn't sure that his strategy would find A-Wu. He just speculated that Du Sanye wouldn't do it himself to kidnap A-Wu, but since he had planned for so long, he should have gone to confirm the arrangement personally, so he asked Chen Qingshan to follow Shopkeeper Xue.
He also told Yuyang Le Pang that if there was no A-Wu in the place Du Sanye left, he should also detain the people inside and search carefully. Since Du Sanye was connected to the underworld, he must have many unclean things. Just find some criminal evidence and there would be a reason to dig deep, and then he could force Du Sanye to submit.
Now that he had found the person directly, it saved a lot of trouble.
Two gray-faced men were pushed in, one strong and one thin, both injured, especially the strong man on the left, whose right arm was soaked with blood. As soon as he entered the room, there was a smell of blood.
The strong man saw Du Sanye and howled: "Third Master, save me! Blood is flowing! My arm, my arm is about to break!"
Du Sanye sat there expressionless, his eyes sharp as knives.
The strong man fell silent immediately.
Yuyang Le Pang said to Wang Yang: "There were ten people in the thieves' den, five died, one fainted, and two were seriously injured. They were carried back first."
Wang Yang had seen the thin man and said: "You must be Du Sanye's men. You, we met in the Eighth Camp Village."
The thin man lowered his head and didn't speak, while the strong man's gaze unconsciously glanced at Du Sanye.
Du Sanye suddenly said: "They are my men. I don't know what crime they committed, why are you arresting them?" ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
