Chapter 309 Satisfied
Four figures suddenly appeared in the four corners of the main hall. They were Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou.
The shadow held two daggers at the necks of the two men in black.
Two crisp footsteps were heard from the back hall, ticking away. One of the footsteps was brisk, which meant that the person seemed to be in a good mood, but there was no way to comment on the other one.
Soon, two figures walked into the main hall from the passage in the back hall, and one of them sat down on the chair that should have belonged to the patriarch of the Yu family.
This person is Li Cunxi.
Li Cunxi held his chin with his hand and looked calmly at the two men in black who were controlled by the shadow.
Li Cunxi knew who these two men in black were without even having to guess.
"I don't think we need to introduce ourselves, right? Patriarch of the Chen family, owner of the Hundred Birds Trading Company."
The two men in black were silent for a while and each took off their hoods.
The faces revealed were indeed Chen Tai and Wu Duo.
Yu Yin, who was standing behind Li Cunxi, tried his best to act like an ostrich and did not dare to look directly at the two men.
"Li Shaoyin, how are you?"
Chen Tai bowed towards Li Cunxi, which was considered as a greeting to Li Cunxi.
"Li Shaoyin."
Wu Duo sighed and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"Let them go, Shadow." Li Cunxi said to Shadow, "I guess they don't want to resist."
Chen Tai and Wu Duo naturally didn't want to resist. After all, if they resisted, they had to be able to win.
What's more, neither of them committed any crime.
They gave Li Cunxi ten thousand chances, but he could not produce any real evidence to prove their crime.
If we say that Chen Tai bribed Yu Lei, he must be caught red-handed. Since we haven't caught him, how can we say that he bribed officials of the time? Isn't this simply a frame-up of him?
"Since we entered the city, I felt that someone was secretly watching us."
Li Cunxi held his chin and looked at the two people with a smile on his face.
"So after I arrived at Yu Mansion, I stayed outside for a while and asked the people who were spying on us to send you a message. Before leaving Rang County, I also stayed outside Yu Mansion for a while."
"The people who left Rang County were pretending to be members of our Inner Guard. We hid halfway through the journey."
"After confirming that no one was following us, we turned back and waited for you to come over and fall into our trap."
"I have told you the process you want to know. Now it's your turn to tell me and answer my questions."
Chen Tai originally wanted to ask something else, but Li Cunxi had already given them the answers in advance, so they had nothing else to ask.
At this moment, all we can do is wait for Li Cunxi to ask questions.
"How did you guys get together?"
"Let me answer this question." Chen Tai said, "I gave him 10,000 taels of silver and asked him to keep putting pressure on Yu Lei until he gets back the 200,000 taels of silver."
"Isn't the repayment date fixed? What's the point of applying pressure?" Li Yuanfang asked.
"Although the repayment date is fixed, how can Yu Lei pay back the 200,000 taels of silver?" Chen Tai shook his head. "Let Wu Duo force Yu Lei and say that if he doesn't pay back on time, he will kill your whole family. That's enough."
"and then?"
"This forced Yu Lei to seek help everywhere and borrow silver to repay his debts, but where could he borrow such a large amount of silver? In the end, he had no choice but to accept my bribe of 200,000 taels of silver and successfully died."
"Why did you insist on forcing Lei to death? Was it to avenge your father?"
"Yes, that's right. I just want revenge for my father, and I will do anything to get revenge. Not only did I force Yu Lei to death, I also forced my own sister to death. The night Yu Lei hanged himself, I came to Yu's house and used my father's death and the words of the saint to force my sister to death."
Faced with what he had done, Chen Tai confessed everything.
Anyway, everything was over, and Li Cunxi had no reason to cause trouble for him.
If he confesses everything at this moment, judging from Li Cunxi's lenient and soft-hearted attitude towards the matter at hand, there is a high probability that he will not reopen the case.
Therefore, he is not afraid.
"So, what role does Yu Yin play in this case?"
Li Cunxi changed the subject and turned to Yu Yin.
Chen Tai had expected this, and replied logically: "He knew that I was the one who forced his mother to death, and he also knew that I was the one who forced his father to death, but he didn't say anything. At most, he knew about it but didn't report it."
"However, I never thought that even if Li Shaoyin already knew the case, he would still wait for the two of us to come to him."
Li Cunxi smiled indifferently. It was indeed not logical for him to do so, but he just didn't want to be deceived.
He must know all the facts he needs to know before he can give up. Otherwise, it would be better for him not to get involved in the case in the first place.
Since you are involved, you must make sure you understand everything.
Li Cunxi exhaled and said, "To put it bluntly, this case is just a case of revenge. I have already closed the case before, so naturally I won't do anything unnecessary. Now I just want to make it clear so that people won't use this as an excuse to criticize me for my incompetence in the future."
After saying that, Li Cunxi glanced at Wu Duo.
"You know what kind of person your master is. He is a big idiot. If I don't figure it out, sooner or later I will use this to say that I am incompetent."
"Now that I know the truth, if this bastard criticizes me for my incompetence in the future, I will expose the fact that he accepted bribes and make him lose all face."
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, King Liang is such a despicable villain and shameless person who deserves death. I, Li Cunxi, am only doing this to protect myself."
Li Cunxi said this and turned his gaze to Chen Tai again.
"From today on, this matter is completely over. Yu Yin is the only one left in the Yu family. Yu Lei was tyrannical in his early years. There is no guarantee that there won't be people who want to vent their hatred and find Yu Yin. As an uncle, you should do your job to the end."
Chen Tai looked up at Li Cunxi and said, "He is a child of our Chen family, so naturally he should change his surname back to our Chen family."
"It's up to you. I'm leaving anyway. This case has delayed me for too long. I'd rather let my mind wander among the mountains and rivers." Li Cunxi stood up and walked out. "Okay, let's go."
In the yard, dark shadows walked out from the shadows, and the people in the Yu Mansion who were under control tremblingly sent the plague god away from their respective rooms, not daring to breathe.
With the farewell of the housekeeper Liu Dong, Li Cunxi and others left Yu Mansion, went out of the west gate under the cover of night, and left Rang County.
In the main hall of the Yu Mansion, the three people looked at each other in silence.
"Did Li Shaoyin really leave this time?"
"People like him shouldn't waste their time here anymore."
"So, everything is alright?"
"Yes...let's have a banquet to celebrate."
