Chapter 755: Scapegoat! (Part )

"I am Hou Chenguang, deputy centurion of the Dongning Coordination Office. Elder Ye, please come with us!"

Hearing what Hou Chenguang said, Ye Sanwu panicked, but he pretended to be calm and said:

“This is a false accusation! I want to see Song Geng! Where is Song Geng…”

Seeing Ye Sanwu barking wildly, the leader Hou Chenguang said with a half-smile:
"We, the elders of the Ye clan, have not told you what evidence you have committed. How could we have framed you? Are you trying to cover up the truth?"

Ye Sanwu was speechless when he heard this. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the manor. The next second, a man in black from the coordination office walked into the room and whispered something in Hou Chenguang's ear. After listening to his subordinate's words, Hou Chenguang's face changed on the spot. He waved his hand and said:

"Catch them all, and kill anyone who resists!"

Hearing Hou Chenguang's murderous tone, Ye Sanwu was so frightened that his legs went weak on the spot. However, at this moment, several loud shouts came from the side.

"Master, we'll cover you! Go!"

As the voice appeared, several servants armed with knives, guns, sticks and clubs rushed in, picked up Ye Sanwu and were about to run away. Hou Chenguang naturally would not sit idly by and wanted to lead his subordinates to chase after them. At this critical moment, a grenade was thrown out from somewhere and landed right at Hou Chenguang's feet.

Hou Chenguang is worthy of being the deputy captain of the Coordination Office. He reacted quickly and kicked the grenade away immediately. Although the grenade was kicked away, it exploded at this time and directly blew Hou Chenguang to the ground!
Seeing their boss being knocked unconscious by the explosion and his life or death unknown, the remaining black-clad men from the Coordination Office naturally became blood-thirsty and rushed forward without holding back. After a while, only the sound of tragic killing could be heard throughout the manor...

Late at night, in Ye Zhanpeng's study.

A kerosene lamp was burning quietly, and under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, a table full of delicious dishes was placed on the Eight Immortals table, including braised beef with soy sauce, braised carp, braised prawns, sea cucumber with green onions, chicken stewed with mushrooms and other hard dishes.

In addition to these main dishes, there was also a jar of old wine on the table. Ye Zhanpeng, who was sitting at the eight-immortal table, closed his eyes and rested in front of these good wine and delicious food. Opposite him was another chair. There was no doubt who Ye Zhanpeng was waiting for at this time.

Ye Zhanpeng didn't wait too long. With the sound of wind, a tall figure quietly walked into the study.

Ye Zhanpeng seemed to sense something and opened his eyes immediately. A tall and stern middle-aged man appeared on the empty chair.

Seeing this person appear, Ye Zhanpeng suddenly smiled and said:

"Brother Song, you are here!"

Song Geng, a centurion of the General Coordination Office, nodded when he heard this. He glanced at the delicious food and wine in front of him and immediately realized that these dishes were all made by his favorite restaurant, Sanfulou, and the dishes were all his favorites. He then said in a deep voice:

"Zhan Peng, you are thoughtful!"

Ye Zhanpeng smiled when he heard this, then he picked up the jar of wine, poured a glass for Song Geng and said:
“Brother Song, this wine is the legendary Jiangnan Girl’s Red Wine. Because the Marshal likes to drink this, our Dadongsheng Company specially transported it here. I know that you are a wine lover, so I specially asked a good brother of mine to get this jar! Song Geng, you try it and see how it feels…”

Song Geng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, but as a wine lover, he did not drink it directly. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and smelled it, feeling the unique aroma of the girl's red wine. Song Geng's eyes became more and more passionate, and then he put the girl's red wine into his mouth. "Jiangnan girl's red wine is really as good as its reputation, it is really a good wine!" After a long time, Song Geng slowly sighed:

Seeing Song Geng so satisfied, the smile on Ye Zhanpeng's face became three times more intense. His big brother Song was not a gambler or a womanizer, but he loved food and drink, especially fine wine. In the past year or two, he had used his connections to get wine for this good brother.

After Song Geng finished tasting the wine, the two began to feast on it. After three rounds of dishes and five tastes of wine, Song Geng wiped his mouth and said to Ye Zhanpeng seriously:
"Zhan Peng, your plan is very good. When Hou Chenguang was investigating Ye Sanwu's loan sharking, he accidentally discovered the goods in his house. After catching him red-handed, Ye Sanwu and his servants resisted arrest and were killed on the spot!"

“Although Ye Sanwu is the elder of your Ye family, he obviously does not have the ability to run the whole thing…”

Ye Zhanpeng did not speak immediately after hearing this, but picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then fell into silence again. Seeing this, Song Geng's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and he said solemnly:
"Zhan Peng, I know you are a man who values ​​friendship, but you are very determined about this matter. The higher-ups have already found out that the goods came from Ershun Mountain. Zhang Qiankun, who is in charge of investigating this matter, will arrive in Dongning tomorrow. And if I am right, Zhang Qiankun is only responsible on the surface, and there must be internal guards investigating secretly!"

"This group of internal guards may have already arrived in Dongning and found out something! So you must act as quickly as possible!"

Listening to Song Geng's words, Ye Zhanpeng sighed and said:

"Wang Beitao will flee from Yutai County tomorrow. Brother Song, just send someone to find Lao Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, Song Geng drank another glass of wine and said calmly:
"not enough!"

Ye Zhanpeng's eyes showed some anger when he heard this, and he was silent for a while before saying:
"I will arrange for Zhao Lin to commit suicide!"

Hearing this, Song Geng showed a satisfied smile in his eyes. He was the person in charge of the Coordination Office in Dongning. Now that such a big case had occurred in Dongning, he was to blame. However, the secret investigation from above gave Song Geng an opportunity...

As long as he can handle this shocking case before the secret investigation, Song Geng may not only not be responsible, but may also have a great contribution. This is why he forced Ye Zhanpeng to hand over the person. If he can get Ye Zhanpeng's help, it will be very helpful for him to handle the case as soon as possible.

Seeing that Ye Zhanpeng seemed a little angry, Song Geng raised his glass and spoke to him sincerely:
"Zhan Peng! Brother Song and you are in the same boat. I am doing this for our own good!"

"This case must be closed as soon as possible, and an explanation given to the higher-ups! Only then can you and I be safe."

"If Zhang Qiankun or the inner guards find out, you and I will be dead! Don't blame Brother Song for being cruel!"

Listening to Song Geng's words, Ye Zhanpeng knew that he wanted to steal the credit, but he still picked up the wine glass and pretended to be serious and said:
"Brother Song, you worry too much! Zhan Peng is not an ungrateful person. Only in your hands can we be safe!"

Song Geng nodded with satisfaction when he heard that. The money and connections in Ye Zhanpeng’s hands were necessary for him to climb up in the future, so Ye Zhanpeng was still very valuable and he had to do his best to protect him...

(I was scheduled to work overtime tonight. I just got home and cooked a bag of instant noodles and started writing. I will pay back what I owe today in a while. Please forgive me, fellow book friends. In addition, what do you think of the portrayal of Ye Zhanpeng?)
