Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1397 Raising troops to investigate crimes
The path up the mountain was flat and Sun Wei did not seem to be in a hurry. Yang Yiyi was dressed neatly and waited for a while, but the team on the mountain path did not seem to be getting much closer.

But the Liu family’s reaction is interesting.

Just as Yang Yiyi wrapped the towel around her head, she saw the gate of the Liu family was opened, and a large group of servants holding weapons and leading dogs lined up at the gate.

It is interesting because from Li Chengxi's bird's-eye view, he can see that the Liu family has arranged a row of archers against the wall behind the gate.

Let me say it again, bows and crossbows are absolutely prohibited items. This alone is enough to have the entire Liu family executed. Whether the entire nine clans will be implicated depends on how determined the Yuezhou Kingdom is to eradicate traitors.

No matter what Sun Wei's plan is, no matter how slowly he walks, the road will not become longer.

Not long after, Sun Wei and a large group of Plum Blossom Guards stood at the door of the Liu family.

The servants on the Liu family's side also looked very nervous. After all, this was going against the imperial court, and it was a capital crime. Who wouldn't be afraid?

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man walked out of the Liu family's gate. He looked like an ordinary wealthy man with a well-groomed goatee.

When Yang Yiyi saw this man, she shuddered on the spot.

When she was brought to the Liu family by her master, it was this middle-aged man who received them. He was also the only real member of the Liu family that Yang Yiyi had met before.

At this moment he smiled at her, looking particularly attentive:
"Why are you all so busy? If you are passing by, I still have some wine in my house to quench your thirst."

Sun Wei was still sitting on his horse, with no intention of getting off. He spoke in an official tone, looking down at people:
"Liu Changfeng, do you admit your guilt?"

"This...what crime have I committed? Did the officer make a mistake?"

"Humph, I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin."

Sun Wei took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which handwriting and fingerprints could be vaguely seen.

"Your accomplices in Nanshan City have confessed, Liu Changfeng. Your Liu family has abducted and trafficked hundreds of women. Every single one of them can be traced, with evidence and witnesses. You still ask me why I mobilized so many troops? You even dared to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and colluded with the Western Region Heavenly Wolf Sect. You better think about what to say next, and don't make things worse."

It's already a capital crime now, and there's a scar the size of a bowl on his head. How can the crime be made more serious?
It's simple. The Plum Blossom Guards have many ways to make you unable to live or die. It will definitely make people feel great before the execution.

Liu Changfeng's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled:
"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. My family has lived in Nanshan City for five generations. Everyone knows that my Liu family is a good citizen. Look at the road from Nanshan City to the ferry. It was built with funds from my family. How could we collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? How could we abduct and sell women?"

On the surface, the Liu family did a very good job. Outsiders saw that the Liu family was repairing bridges and roads in the local area and was not unkind in their wealth. In the underworld, the Liu family was generous and hospitable, and was willing to help many down-and-out people with their money. Their reputation was indeed good.

It is precisely because of these good reputations that the Plum Blossom Guards have never paid attention to them. It can even be said that except for the victims, most people think that the Liu family is indeed a good family.

But this good reputation cannot withstand scrutiny.

The Plum Blossom Guards had spent so much time and had already thoroughly uncovered the Liu family and their network of connections. Sun Wei knew exactly how many things they had done behind the scenes.

However, what Liu Changfeng said was not entirely to deny or delay time. As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed out of Liu's house.

"You bastards! You are just looking for excuses to persecute loyal officials and enrich yourselves. What's the point of putting up a memorial archway?"

"That's right, you even spread rumors to tarnish the reputation of the Liu family. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Liu family has a good reputation. You guys are so mean!" "We are here today, let's see who dares to touch a hair of the Liu family!"

Judging from the attire of those who rushed out, you could tell they were all knights of the martial arts world. Moreover, every one of them was an independent person without any sect.

After all, anyone with a little bit of common sense would have noticed that there have been an abnormal amount of rumors about the Liu family in the underworld recently, and would not rashly wade into muddy waters. These underworld people are basically hot-blooded youngsters.

They were hiding in the back watching the show, but now that one of them jumped out, they all jumped out and started to criticize Sun Wei as a dog official, a court lackey, and so on.

Sun Wei knew too well the reputation of the Plum Blossom Guards in the underworld. You see, although Wu Shaoyi agreed to help, they have been hiding behind the scenes and not showing up. This is the reason.

If she really stood with Sun Wei, Wujiazhuang would indeed become famous, although not in the way she hoped.

However, facing these insults, Sun Wei was not angry at all. He just sat on his horse and listened. When they got tired of scolding him, he said slowly:

"Liu Changfeng, if you surrender obediently, I can report this to His Majesty and let you go. Otherwise... Oh, you know it clearly, so I don't need to say more."

Before Liu Changfeng could reply, the group of gangsters who supported the Liu family became dissatisfied again. They cursed louder and louder. The polite greetings to Sun Wei's entire female family and eighteen generations of ancestors kept echoing in the valley.

This time, Sun Wei didn't wait for them to finish cursing, nor did he attack directly. Instead, he waved his hand behind him.

The subordinates understood, and immediately the Plum Blossom Guards came over with ordinary people sitting in carriages.

That group of gangsters dared to call Sun Wei a corrupt official, but when they saw a group of ordinary people, they were speechless for a moment.

Just when they thought that this corrupt official was planning to use the people as human shields, when the people saw Liu Changfeng, they either cursed or cried, and their voices instantly drowned out the curses from the gangsters.

It's so shameful to curse each other, it's better to let professionals do it.

Li Chengxi couldn't hear any sound, he could only see dialog boxes. When a large group of people were talking, the dialog boxes took up most of the screen.

But when he took a casual look, he saw that the general meaning of the people was something like "you bastard, give me back my daughter's life".

Now I understand why Sun Wei brought a group of people with him. It turns out that these people are all victims.

Yang Yiyi was deceived into coming here, which was a minority. After all, there weren't many people like Qingshan Sect who sold their disciples for the sake of their sect's strength. In fact, most people were abducted, like Li Yingluo.

Not to mention other countries, there were many cases of missing young women around Nanshan City alone. However, these cases were suppressed by the government officials who were in cahoots with the Liu family. Many people who lost their daughters didn't even know how their daughters went missing.

When Sun Wei was investigating, he checked all these missing cases. Apart from a small number of cases where the children were indeed abducted by human traffickers, he found that hundreds of cases were related to the Liu family.

This is just the area around Nanshan City. If all the missing women in Central Plains are counted, the total number of victims would probably be thousands.

This number is not surprising. Considering the corpses scattered in the dead woods in Taoyuan Valley, thousands is a conservative estimate. Even the Liu family themselves probably can't remember how many people they have harmed.
