A few days later, at noon, the hot sun made people drowsy. Zhang Han was resting on the desk of the Council Hall. This was also a rare leisure time for him.
Anybody would want their break time to be smooth and steady.
Unfortunately, Wei Wentong didn’t seem to want Zhang Han to enjoy his free time…
“Bastard!” Wei Wentong’s voice resounded before he arrived.
He rushed straight into the room. No one dared to stop him because of his status and people also understood his temperament.
Wei Wentong was in a towering rage. But upon a closer look, a bewitchingly charming woman was following behind him. This woman might be Li Yong’s sister, who seemed to be named Li Heng.
Speaking about it, it seemed that Zhang Han could be offended. If you offend Zhang Han, your bonus or salary would be deducted, or you will suffer corporal punishment at the worst. However, you can never offend Wei Wentong, and especially his most favorite concubine Li Heng.
If you offend Wei Wentong, you would be served with his broadsword. And if you offend Li Heng, then not to mention that you would be served with his broadsword, but your entire family also wouldn’t be spared. As for your close friends, that would also depend on luck.
One could only say that Wei Wentong doted on Li Heng to this extent. It had already reached the extent of defying laws and natural moralities. If it weren’t for this, Li Yong wouldn’t have been so unreasonable and completely ignored the people’s discontent.
“Humph! Wei Wentong, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel…” Zhang Han glared with anger. He was already extremely discontent with Wei Wentong. Had it not been for Wei Wentong being his colleague, Zhang Han would have already thrown him into prison. There were also Li Heng and Li Yong, Zhang Han wanted to deal with them as the Lord of Hibiscus County. Merely, it was difficult to implement punishment because of Wei Wentong’s obstruction.
Don’t look at how Wei Wentong was just a Rank 1 official, he was also a Deputy Perfect of Hibiscus County. Moreover, he was an S grade historical NPC and was definitely stronger than Zhang Han. If Zhang Han and Wei Wentong truly fought, then the Divine and Mighty Alliance might abandon Zhang Han, not Wei Wentong.
Because of this, Zhang Han had tolerated Wei Wentong for so long.
However, like things would always turn for the better, Zhang Han had also been waiting for this favorable turn. Three important figures had come here before. They were all S grade and also rank 2 officials of Divine and Mighty Alliance.
In addition, those three also had much disapproval towards Wei Wentong, especially Lord Wen!
Lord Wen had already written letters to ‘Emperor Yang’ in these past few days, strongly requesting to dismiss Wei Wentong from all his positions and turn him into a common villager.
If this matter wasn’t of great importance and there was no decision from the top, Wei Wentong would have already died long ago. After all, it was very hard to make Divine and Mighty Alliance to discard an S grade historical NPC.
Naturally, Wei Wentong was also not a very rash fellow. He could also hear very unfavorable rumors about him. So, he had also restrained himself a bit recently.
Merely, Wen Wentong was very angry today. Not only because Li heng had been blowing in his ears, but also because he had a reasonable chance to vent his anger!
Wei Wentong was full of confidence as he strode forward, looked straight at Zhang Han and berated: “Today, there was a kidnapping incident in the city, do you care about it? How can you leisurely stay here? it seems that you, a perfect, is too used to peace…”
“Yes! Someone kidnapped my big brother, but Lord Zhang Han isn’t supporting me. This is not just chilling my heart, also chilling the hearts of thousands of people in Hibiscus County…” Li Heng immediately echoed after Wei Wentong.
She also didn’t care about whether she should just interject on this occasion with her status. Besides, who kidnapped her big brother, and for what reason, wouldn’t she know it?
Zhang Han looked stern. No one knew what he was thinking. However, he didn’t look at Li Heng. He just placed a letter on the desk for Wei Wentong to see it.
Wei Wentong took it casually, took a quick glance at it and his hands trembled…
“Lord Husband? What’s wrong…” Li Heng had followed Wei Wentong for a long time. She knew that something was wrong and hastily stepped forward to take a peek. However, just a single glance scared Li Heng so much that all kinds of charms on her beautiful face faded completely. She almost lost control over her bladder.
Suddenly, Wei Wentong thought of something.
“You are making trouble! Don’t think that the jointly signed letters of three lords can absolutely knock me down.” Wei Wentong regained his composure, but his concealed anger was not as great as before. “I have my value. As long as someone higher up recognizes the worth of my strength, this dismissal letter is a mere scrap of paper.”
Wei Wentong changed the subject and said: “Such a big incident had happened in the city, but you are just sitting by and watching. This is a failure to do your duty, which can demote you by one rank. At that time, your Perfect position will be in my bag. Hahahaha!”
Wei Wentong got more and more excited as he thought about it. He had been staring at Zhang Han’s position for a long time now.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Zhang Han handed another letter to Wei Wentong.
“This…, sl*t! Trash…” Wei Wentong suddenly glared at Li Heng and handed the letter to her.
“Lord Husband, this is definitely a slander letter. My big brother must have been forced to confess to false charges under torture. Moreover, how can we believe the letters written by those villains?” Li Heng saw that Li Yong had not only confessed to doing all sorts of evildoings, but also exposed some private dealings of Wei Wentong that shouldn’t have seen the light.
Those private dealings weren’t small. ‘Privately selling 30 war horses from the warehouse…’ ‘Privately recruiting 50 dead soldiers and privately embezzling arms…’ ‘Privately invading countless player villagers, and collecting the sum of almost 100 million…’ and so on.
Once these matters were revealed, combined with the jointly signed dismissal letter of the three lords, Wei Wentong was done for.
Fortunately, Li Heng, this bewitching fox, was also clever. She reminded Wei Wentong with one sentence. As long as Wei Wentong denied all dirty matters in this letter, he could continue to be in his high position.
Wei Wentong pretended to be calm and said slowly: “Yes, how can we believe this force confession under torture? This letter is no more than a trick to sow discord…”
No one knew whether Wei Wentong thought about how many people he had forced to confess to false charges under torture. At least, two hands were not enough to count them.
Zhang Han had already anticipated Wei Wentong’s words. Zhang Han seemed very calm: “Alas! This letter is not obtained by the villains, but the result of my personal interrogation. Since you two don’t believe it, I request Lord Wei Wentong to personally go with me to interrogate…”
“What!” Wei Wentong was shocked. Li Heng was also dumbfounded.
Didn’t Zhang Han’s words mean that Li Yong was already in his hands?
It was obvious that Li Yong was kidnapped from his house today, but the entire case was strange, leaving no trace. How could Zhang Han finish capturing and interrogating Li Yong in just one afternoon!
This…
