Chapter 116 Due to the rapid expansion of the army in Pingyuan County, there are newly established corps, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion do not know all the corps commanders, but seeing that Cheng Jin is full of confidence when he speaks, his momentum is rushing, and if there is no one around, it is estimated that what he said is true, and the guards are afraid and do not dare to step forward easily.
Cheng Jin didn't care so much, grabbed the family and went straight to Wang Meng's bedroom.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the door opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man with a short figure and an obese body, this person had small eyes, his bones were spinning, and when he came out, he still had anger on his face, and asked loudly: "Why is there such a mess, what happened" He said that before he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Jin who was walking towards him.
Others don't know Cheng Jin, but Wang Meng can know him, he met him in the county capital, but he doesn't know his name, he doesn't know his official rank, only knows that he is a person close to Tang Yin.
At this time, he suddenly saw Cheng Jin, Wang Meng was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You" As soon as he said the word you, Cheng Jin had already strode up to him, didn't say a word, grabbed his neck first, and said coldly: "What a bold dog official, corrupt and perverted the law, it's not a pity to die, what else do you have to say now?"
Wang Meng was blinded by Cheng Jin's scolding and scolding, he opened his eyes blankly and muttered, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean" Cheng Jin pushed Wang Meng, who had just gone out, back into the bedroom, and then closed the door with the momentum, and then said: "Don't mention the miscellaneous things in your vault for the time being, you tell me, what's going on with the millions of taels of silver in the secret room?"
Hearing this, Wang Meng's head suddenly buzzed, and he subconsciously gasped, how did he know about the secret room of the silver vault, and how did he know that there was silver in the secret room except for himself and two intimate henchmen, no one knew about it.
His face changed drastically, and he stayed where he was, silent for a long time.
"Hmph" Cheng Jin snorted coldly, dragged Wang Mengyong to the table, picked up the pen and paper on it, handed it to him, and said: "Write me everything about how you are corrupt and bend the law and collect money, and write it now."
Wang Meng came back from the shock, he didn't laugh hard, and said in a trembling voice: "This general, you have misunderstood, these silver are my friend's, and he is temporarily deposited with me" After speaking, his round head was still dotted, indicating that what he said was not false.
Cheng Jin believed his nonsense, and sneered: "It seems that if you don't use some strong means, you won't be honest" As soon as the words fell, he punched Wang Meng the lower abdomen.
Wang Meng is a civil official, he doesn't know how to be martial arts, and he is pampered in peacetime, how can he be beaten like this, he punched down, and screamed in pain, like a deflated ball, and his body slid softly along the table leg to the ground.
This is not the end, Cheng Jin opened his fist, the black mist was released from the palm of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the black mist condensed, turning into a layer of dark and shiny spirit armor on his hand, and he looked at it coldly, as if he had a black iron glove on his hand.
Opening his palm, Cheng Jin clasped Wang Meng's left wrist, I didn't see how hard he used, but the five fingers were recovered, with a crisp click, Wang Meng's wrist bone was shattered with a hard sound, but if you look at the surface is still intact, but the whole palm has been pulled down unnaturally, swaying back and forth in the air.
It really hurts to the bone.
Wang Meng had never been so painful in his life, he let out a scream like killing a pig, and then his eyes rolled up, and he fainted in pain.
At the same time, there was an exclamation from the inside of the bedroom.
Cheng Jin turned his head to see that there was still a young woman sitting on the bed in the room, she was holding a quilt in both hands, covering her chest, her body was trembling violently, obviously stunned by the scene in front of her.
There was no threat to himself, Cheng Jin ignored the woman, and returned his gaze to the unconscious Wang Meng.
He squatted down, pointed his fingernails at Wang Meng's middle man, and suddenly pressed down hard, the latter snorted twice, and woke up faintly.
Cheng Jin threw the pen and paper on the ground and shouted: "If you don't want to live and suffer, just write it for me, otherwise," his palm covering the spirit armor shook in front of Wang Meng's eyes, and said: "Then I will crush your feet, gouge out your eyes, buckle your nose, and finally break your neck."
"Oops" Wang Meng groaned in pain, he didn't even dare to look at his shattered wrist bones, his white and fat face was covered with sweat at this time, and he said tremblingly: "I am a dignified official of the royal court, the lord of Hengcheng, you are bold and reckless, and I will not let you go if I am a ghost."
Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Since you want to be a ghost, I will fulfill you" As he spoke, he moved his palm down, clasped Wang Meng's ankle, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture to pinch down.
Thinking of the unbearable pain just now, Wang Meng shivered, and he said repeatedly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, general, as long as you can let me go, I will give you all the money in the treasury, that's one million taels, think about it, even if you are a general for a lifetime, you can't make so much money."
Cheng Jin seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, couldn't help but smile on his back, and said slowly: "If it's just for money, I won't join the army, with my cultivation, I only need to be a bandit for a few years to make a fortune, but that's not what I want."
You are a thief, and you still want to be dying when disaster comes, but how can I be your passer" Before the words were finished, Cheng Jin's wrist holding Wang Meng's ankle began to slowly tighten.
This time, he didn't crush his ankle bone all at once, but slowly applied force evenly, and of course, he also made Wang Meng's pain deeper and heavier.
"Ahh "Don't pinch it anymore, I'll write, I'll write" He was tortured by Cheng Jin, who didn't eat soft and hard, and almost collapsed, howling like crazy, while snot and tears flowed out together, mixed with the sweat on his cheeks, and his whole face was blurred.
"Very good" Listening to him write, Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction, then let go of Wang Meng's ankle and pushed the pen and paper in front of him.
Forced to be helpless, Wang Meng wrote down how he was corrupt and bent the law to forcibly collect taxes from merchants in the city.
In fact, in just a few years, he was able to collect millions of taels of wealth in the impoverished Hengcheng, and what he did was definitely not that, but Cheng Jin ignored so much, just this one was enough to cure Wang Meng's crime, and this was exactly what he wanted.
When Wang Meng finished writing, he picked up the paper and looked at it, and after confirming it, he cut Wang Meng's fingers with a steel knife and drew a charge on the confession with his own blood.
After finishing these, Cheng Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was also risky for him to force Wang Meng to confess, in case the latter had hard bones enough and refused to admit whether he was alive or dead, then it would be difficult for him to explain to Tang Yin, no matter what, Wang Meng was also a dignified city lord, and it was legally unjustifiable to use lynching by himself, but fortunately, Wang Meng was soft-boned, and he confessed after beating and being scared.
At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside the city lord's mansion, and then, the door of the mansion was smashed open from the outside, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed closer.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all half frightened to death when they saw this, and they all retreated one after another, and there was no one who stepped forward to talk to them.
With a large number of officers and soldiers rushing in, Tang Yin also strode close from the outside, and beside him there was Aoqing who reported the news and Shangguan Yuanji who heard the news.
Under Aoqing's guidance, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji first went to the silver treasury of the City Lord's Mansion, where they saw Wang Meng's hoarded belongings.
Don't look at the silver first, the antiques and brocades outside the secret room alone are worth a lot of money, and then enter the secret room and see the mountains of silver ingots inside, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji are a little stunned.
Tang Yin had never seen so much silver in his life, and it was shocking that a mere city lord could collect money to such an extent.
And Shangguan Yuanji was surprised at the same time, his face also turned red, he was in charge of internal affairs, and such a big corrupt official appeared within the scope of his responsibility, of course, he could not escape the blame.
In fact, Shangguan Yuanji has replaced a number of officials since he took office, but those are all directly subordinate officials in the county, and he has not put more energy into the cities and towns in the county for the time being Even so, Shangguan Yuanji still felt a fever on his face, and after exiting the secret room with Tang Yin, he bowed deeply and said apologetically: "My lord, this is the fault of his subordinates, and it is the negligence of his subordinates."
At this time, Tang Yin was very open-minded, and did not blame Shangguan Yuanji, but comforted: "Yuanji, this is not your fault, the person who bends the law for bribes is Wang Meng, not you, not to mention that you deal with government affairs, many trivial matters, how can you do everything, you are not a fairy" Hearing him say this, Shangguan Yuanji's mood was not only not relaxed, but even more ashamed.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, Tang Yin's deep understanding of things would only make him do his best harder, and the burden on his shoulders would become heavier.
Tang Yin asked Jiaxi, who was guarding the silver vault, "Where is Cheng Jin?"

"My lord, the captain went to find Wang Meng" "Oh" Tang Yin responded, and then found a guard from the City Lord's Mansion, guided by him, and headed towards Wang Meng's bedroom.
When Tang Yin and the others arrived at Wang Meng's bedroom, the latter had been tortured by Cheng Jin and was dying, delirious, his eyes were looking at Tang Yin, but his gaze was out of focus.
Cheng Jin, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said in a low voice: "My lord" As he spoke, he handed over the confession written by Wang Meng respectfully.
Tang Yin raised his head, signaled that Cheng Jin did not need to be polite, then took the confession, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, after reading it roughly, he threw the confession on the ground, stared at Wang Meng, and said coldly: "In order to make Pingyuan County prosper quickly and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the county has specially formulated a policy of reducing and reducing commercial taxes, but you, as the city lord, have gone against the grain and filled your pockets, and your sin is unforgivable":
