Han Congan took a book of accounts from his hands and shakily flipped open the cover, looking through the iron evidence of these transactions in horror. However, am I going to die here today? This is not the fate I want. However, my life is destined to roll in the mud forever.
Wang Tie-jun, this idiot, actually made this kind of shameful transaction into evidence. However, did he not think that there would be a day when the truth would come out? The other party had actually left a trump card in his back, just so that they could turn against him in the future and deal with him. Once the people of the Fortune Pavilion had obtained this piece of evidence, it would be the time of his death.
Although he was frightened, as long as he still had a breath of air left, he would still struggle bitterly to find a way out. This was the belief and instinct to survive that he had survived for so many years.
Han Congan thought for a long time as he turned the pages repeatedly. He already had a plan in mind. When he put down the account book, he immediately kneeled on the ground and repented with tears flowing down his face: "Hall Master, your subordinate deserves to die a thousand times! I have failed to live up to the expectations of the Flowing Wind Pavilion, but with the hall master's punishment, I will speak of it without hesitation! "
Li Guangling's gaze was as cold as snow, reflecting a sharp killing intent. His anger was slightly thickened as he coldly shouted, "The Fu Lin Pavilion treated your Han family well, when did they mistreat you? For generations, your Han Family has been loyal and kind, but in exchange, you have the grandson Fu Lu and the glory and wealth, making you a deacon of Pingyuan Palace. Why are you doing this? "Why did you betray the Fortune Pavilion?"
Senior Disciple Han kneeled on the ground and twitched in pain as he spoke with tears in his eyes, "Hall Master, your subordinate was also helpless to comply with his orders." After the calamity at the Fortune Pavilion, everyone was left in a state of complete chaos. Hall Master Dongfang lacked soldiers and food, so he could only rely on himself. But he couldn't afford to pay a hefty tax for something that wasn't right. He could only think of another way to deal with this urgent matter. Otherwise, Yangzhou will be in danger! "
Li Guangling was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling, and he said with a bitter heart, "So you thought of colluding with Da Ming Tang and secretly smuggling business. In exchange for a lot of money and food? "
Han Congan also knew that today's scandal had been exposed, so he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head in silence.
Li Guangling saw him acting like this and was even angrier. He stretched out his hand to grab his collar and lifted him up, his eyes cold and he shouted, "Do you know what the consequences of this will be? Can you guys afford the price paid by the Fortune Pavilion? Drinking poison to stop thirst, self-deception to the end is self-destruction. Dazhang has been plotting in Yangzhou for decades, and you actually made a deal with them? Did you all forget about the battle ten years ago? Tell me, what were you doing ten years ago? That year, countless deaths and injuries occurred. Did none of your relatives, friends, and siblings die because of that battle? "
Ten years ago, the defensive battle in Yangzhou was just like yesterday. How many people died here alive? When a war broke out, life and death were annihilated. Who could stay out of this matter? What made him even more sad was that his own people had forgotten how precious victory and peace were. Those were things that countless people used their blood and their lives in exchange for.
Peace had never been easy, without strong force to protect it, life was a joke in the face of war, nothing at all, like an ant, gone like dust. If we did not protect ourselves and did not cherish the sight before us, perhaps we would not need to spend two years of our lives destroying the mountains and rivers, destroying the countries and families, turning into slaves without a family name.
He did not dare to look at Li Guangling's overbearing eyes, and could only bitterly reply, "Master, ten years ago, I stood on top of the city wall and vowed to kill my enemies to guard Yangzhou, where my two brothers died. I also hate the name, I wish I could hack them to pieces. However, I cannot disobey the orders of the hall master. I cannot repay his kindness. Maybe he was wrong, and I had to follow along with it. "Because I'm his man and I have no choice."
Li Guangling was also shocked when he heard this, and he let out a heavy sigh. As a superior, they had to weigh the pros and cons, and not judge based on one's likes and dislikes. In order to alleviate the lack of food, Dongfang Yin had to choose a path that no one else could recognize. If this matter were to be exposed, he would lose all of his standing and reputation. No one could tolerate him betraying the Flowing Wind Pavilion. Yet, he had expected such an outcome? However, he still walked on this path.
Everyone had their own choice, and it also determined the fate he chose. When this matter reached the ears of Qi Donghai, it could be imagined that Dongfang Yin, the Five Tiger Generals, actually betrayed the Fortune Pavilion. What a heavy blow that gave them. At the moment when the Fulin Pavilion was in the throes of life and death, what kind of terrifying shock and blow would Dongfang Yin cause to the entire Fulin Pavilion and even the entire world if something like this were to happen.
Therefore, Li Guangling was appointed as the new hall master of the Pingyuan Palace in Yangzhou and was in charge of the affairs of Yangzhou. As for this matter, he had been patiently observing. They could not act rashly against the East until they had solid evidence to back up the situation. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
If he was not wrong, this matter would be buried in his stomach. Even if everything was investigated thoroughly, Qi Donghai would only take back all of Dongfang Yin's rights and secretly imprison him, and not execute him so that everyone in the world would know about it.
And this person in front of him, Han Congan, was an important witness. The reason why Dongfang Yin didn't take him away when they left Yangzhou was because of Han Congan. If Li Guangling made the right judgement, it was because the appointment was too sudden and all the related matters couldn't be handled properly by Dongfang Yin in a short time because Li Guangling was already in place. He couldn't do anything behind his back. He was also afraid that his opponent would notice something amiss, so he intentionally left this person, Han Congan, to deal with it. Once the matter was properly handled, Han Congan would be quickly transferred to the Suzhou Palace and take up his post.
Li Guangling let go of his hand and asked the guilty Han Zunming, "Since you also know your crimes, then be frank and thorough. I hope you can explain what you have done all these years! Say it. I need an explanation from you for me as well! "
Han Congan hesitated for a moment. It was already too late. However, he still didn't feel reassured, "If I really did say it, how would you deal with Lord Dongfang?"
Li Guangling heard him and sneered. His cold face was cold as he said, "Han Congan, since it's already like this, you should still worry about yourself! Don't take it as a fluke. We've already checked it out, just to make sure it's true. "If you are honest, I can do whatever I want!"
When Han Juanyun saw his unyielding attitude, he felt a chill run down his spine. Raising his head, he suddenly sneered, "Then you can ask someone else. I don't know anything."
