Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 139, the final winner

After being sent to prison, Luo Yi refused to plead guilty.

Wei Xing asked Luo Yi to sign a confession, but Luo Yi remained unmoved.

Wei Xing threatened:
"Now that the evidence is solid, if you confess as soon as possible, the general may be able to forgive your family!"

Luo Yi sneered and said:
"Luo has never committed any crime, so why would he plead guilty? I believe the general will not agree with your frame-up!"

Wei Xing had no choice but to interrogate the housekeeper again.

However, the butler refused to confess despite being tortured.

He is just a butler, why is he so stubborn?

Wei Xing felt that there must be something wrong, so he sent people to investigate.

However, it is difficult to find out anything about this kind of thing in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, ordinary people might not know this kind of news, but there is one person who might know it.

Wei Xing went to interrogate Han Wenlong.

As a big family in Songjiang, the Han family must know something about these secrets.

as predicted.

Han Wenlong suppressed his smile and said:
"The relationship between Luo Yi and the butler?"

"Hahaha, most people don't know about this, but you asked the right person! It's just a rumor, not necessarily true. I heard that the Luo family's mistress and the housekeeper had an affair..."

Early morning on the third day.

The butler wakes up in his cell.

He was tortured so much that his body became extremely weak.

At this time, a guard came in casually and threw a small paper bag into the cell.

The housekeeper saw this and saw that there was no one around, so he hurriedly picked up the paper bag.

It was an oil-paper package, containing a small black pill, with a few numbers written on it:

"I have framed the envoys, framed my colleagues, and secretly sent people to attack the general's army. The crimes I have committed are too numerous to count and are truly unforgivable. Now I can only ask you to die so that this matter will never be exposed to the world. This is a non-toxic medicine and it will not hurt to take it. I beg you to swallow this paper pill and take this medicine. I, Luo Yi, beg you."

The housekeeper couldn't help but shed tears when he read the article.

Since the housekeeper was arrested and put into the cell first, he didn't know that Luo Yi was also arrested, and thought that the book was written by Luo Yi.

After all, few people know that secret.

In order to save his son, the housekeeper swallowed the pill and the paper ball without hesitation.

In just a moment, the butler died.

Wei Xing walked out from the darkness, with Luo Yi, who was already crying, beside him.

Luo Yi witnessed the entire death of the butler just now.

Wei Xing said coldly:

"Will you confess on your own, or should I open your father's belly and take out the evidence?"

Hearing this, Luo Yi fell to his knees helplessly.

"I'll recruit."

Soon, Luo Yi confessed everything he had done.

He had no intention of rebelling.

The cause of the incident was that after Ding Wanke was promoted, Han Wenlong and Ding Wanke fought more and more fiercely over the power in their hands.

When two tigers fight, the macaque suffers. Luo Yi has neither the meritorious position of Ding Wanke nor the family background of Han Wenlong, so his situation in the army is getting worse day by day.

In this situation, Luo Yi planned to make Ding Wanke and Han Wenlong both lose, and then benefit from it.

Count Sweet and his group happened to catch up with Luo Yi's plan, and Luo Yi took advantage of the situation and planned the same thing, which led to what happened next.

The foreigner who went to spy on Ding Wanke's daughter was actually one of Luo Yi's men in disguise. After he escaped to the banquet, he took off his disguise. At that time, Ding Wanke was only concerned with catching foreigners, so naturally the real murderer escaped.

Afterwards, this person was silenced by Luo Yi.

At that time, after Ding Wanke fell into the trap, Luo Yi was planning to send someone to kill Earl Sweet directly in prison. In that case, Ding Wanke would not be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths. However, he did not expect that Ding Wanke reacted quickly and sent people to protect Earl Sweet, which caused Luo Yi's plan to fail.

Afterwards, Luo Yi briefly recounted the murder of Liu Dutong's entire family and the bribery of the grain transport officials.

Wei Xing ordered his men to write down all these things and then asked Luo Yi to sign and seal them.

Luo Yi felt hopeless and pressed his handprint on it.

He finally said to Wei Xing: "You act so despicably and unscrupulously, you will not have a good end."

Wei Xing was not moved at all.

He felt neither the guilt of having resorted to underhanded tactics nor the honor of having brought the truth of the case to light.

I was ordered to investigate a case, that's all.

On the fourth day, under the joint witness of Fang Yong and Earl Sweet, Luo Yi was publicly tried and executed, and the Luo family's house was confiscated.

All those involved at all levels were severely punished.

Han Wenlong was removed from his post and left to serve Fang Yong because he failed to supervise his subordinates, allowing them to attack the Huaiyin army.

Although Ding Wanke's dereliction of duty was not as serious as Han Wenlong's, he was still demoted by one level.

Although Lin Lin had frequent contacts with the courtesan of Huichun Pavilion, this kind of thing was not considered a big mistake in that era, so he did not pursue it.

Earl Sweet was confused by this complicated case. He always thought that the bad guy Wan Keding was actually the good guy who was protecting him. The real bad guy was neither Wan Keding nor Wen Longhan, but that Yi Luo!

Earl Sweet said that he would publish this strange experience in the newspapers of the British Empire after returning home. The citizens of the British Empire would definitely be amazed by this miraculous case.

Afterwards, Ding Wanke once again hosted a banquet in his mansion to apologize to Earl Sweet, and also invited Fang Yong.

Ding Wanke was not at all dissatisfied with the punishment he received.

It's just a demotion, it's not like he can't be promoted back. In today's situation where officials are in short supply, he is confident that it won't take long before he can be reinstated.

After the banquet was over and the wine was finished, Ding Wanke helped Fang Yong to the guest room to rest for a while.

After a while, a teenage girl walked in shyly.

"General, let me wash your feet!"

The girl squatted down with her head down, and used her slender fingers to clean Fang Yong with unfamiliarity.

Looking from above, you can just see the girl's round and smooth curves.

"What is your name?"

Fang Yong asked.

The girl lowered her head and whispered
"Mu Ying."

"What's your last name?"

Fang Yong asked again.

This time the girl was even more shy, and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"The surname is Ding."

Fang Yong was not surprised.

"Did your father ask you to come?"

Ding Muying nodded again, her delicate shoulders trembling, and she said with a faint cry:

"My father said that my innocence has been seen by others, and I will never be able to marry again. If I don't want to marry someone with disabilities, I can only ask the general to have mercy and take Mu Ying in. Even if I have to be a maid and wash the general's feet and make quilts for the rest of my life, Mu Ying will never complain."

Fang Yong shook his head. This Ding Wanke was really...

"Look up and let me see."

Ding Muying raised her head, revealing a pair of red eyes from crying, tear marks on her pretty face, and looked at Fang Yong pitifully.

"General, please, take me in!"

Fang Yong reached out and lifted Ding Muying's slightly pointed chin.

"But I see you don't know how to wash feet, can you be a good servant?"

Ding Muying almost cried.

"I will learn, General. I will definitely be able to wash it for you in the future!"

Fang Yong suddenly reached out and picked him up.

"Forget about washing your feet, how about trying warming the bed?"

……

After the Songjiang incident, Earl Sweet followed Fang Yong's huge naval force back to Huaizhou.
