Transcendent Ember

Chapter 228
In a small park next to the picket office in Baishi County, Zhang Jichuan, Director Daxi and Assistant Bai found Deng Hui's mother.

This young lady looks extremely old after being devastated by life.Having lost her husband and children successively, she looked like a walking dead, lifeless.

Under the double blow, the safe rescue of her son is the last memorial of this lady to this world.

"Don't worry, Ms. Wang, no matter what the price is, we will definitely rescue Deng Hui." Assistant Bai summoned a book of extraordinary medical items, shot a beam of clear light into Deng Hui's mother, and comforted him softly.

"Thank you, thank you." Deng Hui's mother burst into tears, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, holding Assistant Bai and Zhang Jichuan's hands tightly.

"Tell us what happened first." Zhang Jichuan said, "Only by understanding what's going on can we find a way to rescue Deng Hui."

"Okay, let me say." Deng Hui's mother told her everything without hiding anything.

Deng Hui's father was an addict. He had been smoking opium for a year. His addiction to smoking made this poor family even worse. If Deng Hui hadn't been exempted from tuition due to his outstanding talent, Deng Hui might not even be able to go to school. great
At the beginning of October, Deng Hui's father's addiction to cigarettes broke out again, but at this time the family could not even produce a copper lier. Deng Hui's father, who was tortured by the addiction to death, refused to listen to dissuasion and went to an opium workshop to steal cigarettes.
However, Deng Hui's father, whose body was hollowed out by the opium, was clumsy, slow to react, and weak in strength. He was immediately exposed to the gatekeeper's nose. Deng Hui's father was ordered to be beaten to death by the owner of the opium workshop.

Deng Hui, who came back from the holiday, knew all this, avenged his father, and blatantly killed more than [-] opium workshop owners and employees, and then destroyed hundreds of opium workshops in one go.

The picket officers who heard the news took Deng Hui away, and after less than two days of examination, he was sentenced to death
Zhang Jichuan almost couldn't help cheering for the good kill, but at the same time he also understood that within the borders of civilization, actions must not be simply judged on the basis of right or wrong.

Even though it was wrong for the owner of the opium workshop to order Deng Hui's father to be killed, Deng Hui killed someone. According to the laws of Gu Yue Kingdom, it is not unjust at all to sentence him to death. The only unreasonable thing is that the review results came too quickly.

"For the current plan, there is only one word: compensation!" Assistant Bai said in a deep voice, "Those opium workshops that have been affected, if they find their owners, they should pay as much as they want."

Compensate them, and then let them continue to produce opium? Zhang Jichuan is 1 unhappy, but he also knows that these compensations are indispensable if Deng Hui is to be rescued.

He said in a deep voice: "Compensation, no matter how much it is, let me, the teacher, pay the compensation!"

Assistant Bai continued: "These people are easy to deal with. As long as the compensation is in place and a settlement is reached so that they don't pursue it, it will be a matter of course. The key is those people killed by Deng Hui."

Assistant Bai habitually knocked on the stone table in the park with his knuckles: "We need to find their relatives and obtain their understanding. As long as the relatives of the deceased don't pursue the matter, Deng Hui will be considered to have saved half of his life."

Half-Life. Zhang Jichuan frowned slightly: "Only Half-Life?"

Assistant Bai said with a smile: "This is a criminal case, and conventional means cannot be undone. Only the principal can come forward to clear up the relationship from top to bottom. As long as the relationship is in place, Deng Hui can hope to be released.

"The principal should have already started working on this matter. What we have to do is to discuss compensation with the owner of the opium workshop and the family members of the deceased, and ensure that they will not cause trouble after Deng Hui is released, and will not appease these people. It's never over."

So that's the case...Zhang Jichuan and Director Darcy nodded at the same time: "Okay!"

"Thank you, thank you."

Desire is beautiful, reality is cruel.

After placing Deng Hui's mother in place, the three of them who planned to act according to the plan were rejected at the first step.They plan to break through from the affected opium workshop owners, who are relatively easy to talk to.But people are not as good as heaven. The owner of the first opium workshop to be found told the three:
"I am not the owner of the opium workshop, Mr. Yi is. All the opium workshops destroyed by that boy belong to Mr. Yi.

"When this happened, Mr. Yi was very angry. He personally put pressure on the provincial police to make the murderer pay the price. Don't waste your efforts in vain."

The three looked at each other.

"Who is this Mr. Yi?" After leaving the opium workshop owner's house, Zhang Jichuan couldn't help asking when he saw Assistant Bai's complexion.

"Yi Lei, the richest man in Xishan Province, the president of the Xishan Provincial Chamber of Commerce, has a wide range of friends. Many officials and nobles are his guests, and there are countless extraordinary creatures under his command." Assistant Bai said in a serious tone, "This is not the most important thing. , the most important thing is that he is the confidant of 'Qiao Lisa'."

A trace of surprise flashed in Director Darcy's eyes.

Zhang Jichuan was at a loss: "Who is Qiao Lisa?"

"Qiao Lisa, since the founding of the Gu Yue Kingdom, there are a few people who have obtained noble titles as merchants. They are friends of the Minister of Commerce Zhou Chang and are also Zhou Chang's staff. It can be said that more than half of the commercial policies of the entire Gu Yue Kingdom are She is at the mercy of her." Director Darcy explained on her behalf, "She is also the president of the entire Guyue Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, she is also the general agent of the opium trade appointed by the Nicholas Dynasty."

Zhang Jichuan, the general agent of the opium trade, sneered: "Oh, that is to say, Qiao Lisa is the one who sells the opium in the entire Gu Yue Kingdom."

"Yes." Assistant Bai nodded, "Qiao Lisa has three confidantes, and this Yi Lei is one of them. Most of Qiao Lisa's opium trade is handed over to Yi Lei. It is precisely because of this Because of this, he can quickly become the richest man in Xishan Province. Hey"

Assistant Bai was extremely annoyed: "I actually forgot about Yi Lei! I didn't expect that the opium workshop that Deng Hui destroyed belonged to him. This is a difficult situation."

Zhang Jichuan's face turned serious, he understood what Assistant Bai meant by saying it was difficult.

At Yi Lei's level, what he cares most about is no longer a little economic loss.

The opium trade has been vilified in various fields. What Yi Lei is most afraid of is that everyone will follow suit and destroy his opium workshop like Deng Hui. Therefore, for him, Deng Hui must be severely punished to have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys. Keep others from messing around.

In contrast, a little bit of economic loss, for Yi Lei, is like a sprinkle of water.
"No wonder, Deng Hui was sentenced so soon." Assistant Bai was frowning, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Don't panic." Director Darcy said indifferently, "The worst case scenario is that I rush into the prison and rescue Deng Hui by force."

Assistant Bai shook his head: "It's just that, you and Deng Hui will never be able to set foot on the land of Gu Yue Kingdom."

"I know." Director Darcy nodded, "So, this is the worst plan, the worst plan."

"But what is the best policy?" Assistant Bai frowned and thought hard.

At this time, Zhang Jichuan suddenly said: "I don't know what the best strategy is, but there is one middle strategy."

The two cheered up and looked at Zhang Jichuan together.

Director Darcy: "Tell me."

"On the one hand, you have to pay for the compensation you should have, and you have to pay a lot of money for a copper riel. On the other hand." Zhang Jichuan sneered, "There is a saying called 'ten rich and nine dirty'. It sounds like Somewhat biased, but for a rich man like Yi Lei who started his fortune with opium, this sentence is simply the truth. So.
"We can go and investigate this black material about Yi Lei's violation of law and discipline. It's fine if he accepts the compensation obediently, but if he doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, then..."

Assistant Bai smiled wryly: "Sure enough, it's the right strategy. In this way, Yi Lei will be completely offended."

"Heh." Zhang Jichuan laughed, "Assistant Bai, do you still want to make friends with such a rich man who sells opium? Anyway, I don't want to, not only don't want to, maybe one day I will take the initiative to become an enemy of them."

Director Darcy: "I agree."

Assistant Bai nodded: "Okay, I agree, let's do it like this."

The three split up.

Director Darcy went to the prison to protect Deng Hui and prevent Deng Hui from being executed early.Assistant Bai went to discuss compensation, while Zhang Jichuan secretly investigated Yi Lei's scandal.

After parting, Zhang Jichuan immediately came to the dimly lit space in the same boat, sat down and called Ms. Norris's name.

After a while, under the changing light and shadow, Ms. Norris, who was stepping on high heels, came to the same boat space: "Long time no see, Mr. Siliang."

"Long time no see, Ms. Norris." Zhang Jichuan got straight to the point, "I would like to ask Ms. Norris to call Mr. Qingtian for me."

"Mr. Qingtian? Okay, Mr. Siliang, wait a moment." Norris nodded, put her hands on her lips, and began to call silently.

A few minutes later, Qing Tian came to the same boat space: "I'm sorry, Ms. Norris, it's not convenient to come in just now, what's the matter?"

Norris pointed to Zhang Jichuan, who nodded and said, "I have something to ask the picket."

Picket?Mr. Siliang knows Mr. Qingtian?That's right, the time when Mr. Qingtian joined the Tongzhou Club was the day of Huhu's coup.On the same day, Mr. Siliang was also in the Palace of the Ancient Moon Kingdom. Noris's eyes lit up slightly, connecting many clues.

Yuan Xiao, who was wearing a cloak, looked at Zhang Jichuan: "Oh? Tell me!"

Zhang Jichuan said directly: "I want to know some black information about Yi Lei. Does the prosecutor have any clues about his violation of discipline?"

"Yi Lei?" Yuan Xiao was taken aback, and then woke up, "Yi Lei, the richest man in Xishan Province? The Yi Lei who made his fortune by selling opium?"

Zhang Jichuan nodded.

"You want to deal with Yi Lei?" Yuan Xiao looked at Zhang Jichuan in surprise, and before he could answer, he said, "If you want to deal with him, then I don't mind helping you out, just wait for me."

After all, Yuan Xiao's figure became dimmed and disappeared into the same boat space.
