1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3163
If Wang Yuan's previous behavior was that he was a fan of the authorities and lost ground, then after he gradually calmed down now, when he recalled the whole process, he discovered more and more details that he had ignored.

If Zhu Zhongyun's mess had something to do with the executive committee's schedule, then Hangzhou might be in trouble.

But at this stage of the matter, whether to hide at home and pretend to be dead, or to take the initiative to report the matter to the authorities, Wang Yuan was a little hesitant.

If Zhu Zhongyun and his accomplices were caught by the government, most likely Wang Yuan would be confessed, and those favors in the past might not be able to save him.If the executive committee is really involved, it will most likely be on the shooting list.

Wang Yuan knew very well that Haihan established the country with martial arts, and it was never a good thing.Regardless of the officials who inexplicably disappeared in Hangzhou back then, or the resisters who were publicly executed by the Qiantang River after Haihan took over Hangzhou, they all showed Haihan's ruthlessness in dealing with the enemy.

Wang Yuan didn't want to be paraded through the streets to show the public one day, and then dragged to the Qiantang River, where he was shot and executed under the watchful eyes of thousands of people.Thinking of such a scene, he couldn't help shivering.

But to take the initiative to report to the officials, Wang Yuan inevitably hesitated.If Zhu Zhongyun and his accomplices were not caught, wouldn't he be responsible for the blame alone?
At this moment, a servant came to report that someone from the government had come to visit.

Wang Yuan's heart sank when he heard this. He is a former official who has no power and influence. It is a coincidence that someone from the government suddenly came to visit him at this juncture.

Wang Yuan didn't dare to think that this was purely a coincidence. He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and asked his servants, "Did the visitor reveal his identity and purpose?"

The servant responded: "The other party showed his ID, but the villain is illiterate... They only said that they asked the master to come forward and cooperate with the investigation of a case."

Wang Yuan hurriedly asked: "How many people are here?"

The servant said: "There are two leaders and four followers, all wearing casual clothes."

"It's over, it's over, it's really over!" Wang Yuan buzzed in his head, almost losing his footing.

If it is an ordinary visit, why so many people come, it is afraid that something has happened, and they have come to arrest people.

But he has been so many officials anyway, and he still wanted to deal with it decently when he was flustered, so he asked his servants to invite the visitors to the study to meet them.

Later, Wang Yuan saw visitors in the study room. One was a middle-aged man with a short beard, and the other was a muscular man with gray hair on his temples. He looked obviously older.

Wang Yuan saw that these two people were unfamiliar, so he asked tentatively: "Forgive me for my stupid eyes, I don't know who you two are?"

The middle-aged man took out a small ID, handed it in front of Wang Yuan, and introduced himself: "This is Qu Shengfeng from the Hangzhou Office of the Haihan Security Department. This is Mr. Gong Shiqigong from Sanya."

Wang Yuan looked up to him for a long time, but his heart became more and more flustered.

Of course he knew what the Ministry of Security was, and it was equivalent to the existence of the Daming Factory Guard, which specialized in investigating major and important cases.Provoking this yamen often means big trouble.

Earlier, when the government was investigating Zhu Zhongyun, someone from the Ministry of Security had come to him to understand the situation.But at that time Wang Yuan thought that Zhu Zhongyun was just an ordinary spy, and he had already left Hangzhou, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now the Ministry of Security actually came to the door again, and there were people from Sanya.Looking at Gong Shiqi's age and style, Wang Yuan concluded that he was definitely not an ordinary character, which meant that the reason why the other party came to him was not trivial.

Wang Yuanqiang pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know why the two of you came to visit suddenly today?"

Qu Shengfeng said: "We are investigating a person named Zhu Zhongyun, this person had been in and out of the casino under your name earlier, and tried to bribe officials, so there are some questions, we hope to check with you face to face. "

When Wang Yuan heard the words "Zhu Zhongyun" from the other party's mouth, he knew that there was no chance of luck today.If you don't seize the last chance at this time, what awaits you may be the worst end.

However, the real reason for Gong Shiqi and Qu Shengfeng to come here is probably slightly different from Wang Yuan's judgment.

With the assistance of Li Qingyang, they further investigated the information related to the casino where Zhu Zhongyun had an accident, and issued a warrant for Zhu Zhongyun's arrest overnight.

The behind-the-scenes shareholders of this casino are all former local officials, but currently only Wang Yuan is still in Hangzhou, which is equivalent to managing the casino for several other shareholders.

In the previous investigation by the Ministry of Security, the record of the questioning of Wang Yuan was very simple. The final conclusion was that Zhu Zhongyun was not ordered by Wang Yuan, and there was no evidence to prove that this person had a personal relationship with Wang Yuan.

However, after Gong Shiqi read the information from the Special Liaison Office, and compared it with the transcripts of the security department's inquiries, he felt that there were still some doubts, such as whether Zhu Zhongyun's bribery of officials in Hangzhou was related to the other major shareholders of the casino.

In addition, Wang Yuan didn't seem to get enough information about the gamblers that Zhu Zhongyun had contacted in the casino, and this should have been the focus of the investigation.

Fortunately, Wang Yuan lives in Hangzhou, and it is not far from the special liaison office. Gong Shiqi was afraid that Qu Shengfeng's subordinates would not be reliable enough, so he decided to visit Qu Shengfeng in person to see if he could get some information from the nominally big boss. Set out more information.

By this time, Gong Shiqi only suspected that Zhu Zhongyun's appearance had something to do with the backstage boss of the casino, but he didn't think that Wang Yuan was in collusion with him, nor did he intend to take Wang Yuan down.

But the visits of these two uninvited guests made the guilty Wang Yuan think that the Ministry of Security had found Zhu Zhongyun's information, and might even have caught that guy, and now he came to collect the net.

Wang Yuan believed that the last hope was fleeting. If he turned against the water at this time, he might still be able to get a meritorious prosecution. If the result of leniency was delayed for a while, it would not be counted as surrender.

As soon as Wang Yuan gritted his teeth, he took the initiative to say: "To tell you the truth, my lords, I am going to report to the government about Zhu Zhongyun."

Gong Shiqi didn't expect the other party to be quite cooperative. He nodded and said, "It seems that you also know that this person has a problem, so let's talk about it."

Wang Yuan was not in a hurry to explain, but first asked tentatively: "My lord, if the suspect is caught after reporting, can the merits and demerits be offset, and the responsibility of the subordinate will not be pursued?"

Gong Shiqi is so old-fashioned, once he heard Wang Yuan's tone, he knew that there was something wrong with this person, so naturally he had to give him a little shock to break his psychological defense line.

Gong Shiqi sneered and said, "Wang Yuan, what is your status, you actually want to negotiate terms with us? I'll give you eight words, lenient for confession and strict for resistance! If you don't believe in this evil, come back to the yamen with us later. Go give it a try and see if your bones are harder than the instruments of torture in the dungeon!"
