Chapter 257 Confession
The head of the Fu family revealed everything he knew, and Dongfang Jincheng and Jun Mochen fell into deep thought after hearing his words.
Not long after, Jun Mochen asked, "Who is this esteemed person you mentioned?"
Patriarch Fu: "I don't know about that. I only know that the official is an official in the capital. Patriarch Wang is the one who handles things with me, and then Patriarch Wang tells Patriarch Wu and me the tasks from above."
Dongfang Jincheng: "You said that four years ago you were ordered by that person to suppress the fishing industry in Hailian Town and monopolize the seafood market, just to quickly raise money."
Patriarch Fu: "Yes, yes, I was just following orders."
Dongfang Jincheng: "Do you know why that lord suddenly ordered you to amass wealth so vigorously?"
Master Fu: "This humble servant does not know."
Jun Mochen: Aren't you curious?
Patriarch Fu: "We asked Patriarch Wang about this before, but he warned us that if we wanted to live, we should ask as few questions as possible. So, we..."
Dongfang Jincheng and Jun Mochen exchanged a glance. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to get much useful information from the Fu family head. They would have to start with the Wang family head.
Dongfang Jincheng looked at the head of the Fu family and asked, "How did you give the money to that person above?"
The head of the Fu family was aware of this, and said, "We have handed everything over to Lord Cao, but we don't know whether Lord Cao has actually handed it over."
Upon hearing the Fu family head's answer, the two exchanged a glance, and Jun Mochen asked, "Why are you helping that person do these things?"
The head of the Fu family felt a little guilty after hearing Jun Mochen's words, his eyes flickering as he didn't know how to respond.
Judging from the appearance of the head of the Fu family, Dongfang Jincheng and Jun Mochen knew that the head of the Fu family was hiding something.
Jun Mochen continued to break down the Fu family head's psychological defenses: "Family head Fu, you've already said so much, what else can't you say?"
The head of the Fu family looked at Dongfang Jincheng and Jun Mochen with fear in his eyes. When he saw Dongfang Jincheng playing with the torture instruments on the side, the head of the Fu family became even more frightened. However, he knew in his heart that if he spoke out, he would not be able to escape death.
Jun Mochen saw that the head of the Fu family was looking at Dongfang Jincheng and knew that he was afraid of torture. However, he also understood that the head of the Fu family was probably hiding something big, so big that he could even reveal the person behind him, but he didn't dare to say it.
It seems we need to take drastic measures.
Jun Mochen narrowed his eyes and threatened, "It seems that the head of the Fu family is also out of touch with reality. Even His Highness Prince Rui has agreed to give the Fu family a break. However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't talk about it. According to the Fu family head's previous confession, at the very least, his entire family will be executed. If the Emperor is displeased, it's not impossible for his entire clan to be exterminated. It's a pity that the Fu family head doesn't know how to cherish such a good opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Fu family became anxious. Didn't the head of the Wang family say that as long as they confessed their crimes and took all the blame upon themselves, their families would not be implicated?
"Your Highness, my lord, if I tell you, can you guarantee that my family will live?"
He no longer prayed for his own survival, but if his family members could survive, he would have at least left an heir for the Fu family.
Dongfang Jincheng looked at the head of the Fu family and said, "Then we'll have to see how the head of the Fu family performs."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Fu family gritted his teeth and said, "I will talk."
"Actually, we are..."
Before the head of the Fu family could finish speaking, the sound of fighting suddenly rang out outside, and a guard came in to report: "Your Highness, sir, someone has broken into the prison."
Dongfang Jincheng snorted coldly: "As expected, they've come."
Dongfang Jincheng left, while Jun Mochen stayed behind to continue the interrogation: "Patriarch Fu, continue."
Master Fu: "My lord, outside..."
Jun Mochen's lips curled into a cold smile: "They're probably here to silence us."
The head of the Fu family turned pale and said in terror, "Silence them? What about my family?"
Jun Mochen: "Don't worry, with Prince Rui here, what are you worried about?"
The head of the Fu family wanted to say something, but Jun Mochen knew there was no time left, and he could see that the people outside were trying to rush into the torture chamber.
"Master Fu, whether or not your family can be saved depends on your performance. Now, tell us what you know immediately."
The head of the Fu family also saw that the men in black rushing in were all blocked by Dongfang Jincheng. He was disheartened, never expecting that the person he had always served wanted to kill him, while the person he had always hated was fighting to protect him.
Thinking of this, the head of the Fu family didn't delay any longer and said, "Actually, we are..."
Unfortunately, he was hit by a dart before he could finish speaking. Following the direction the dart came from, Jun Mochen saw a man in black hiding in the corner. He was furious but powerless to do anything about it. It was just a hair's breadth away.
Ignoring the Fu family head lying on the ground, Jun Mochen got up and rushed towards the man in black.
Cao Wanjin and the head of the Fu family both died at his hands; how could one not be angry?
Dongfang Jincheng naturally noticed the commotion and, while approaching Jun Mochen, asked, "Did you get any answers?"
Jun Mochen was filled with hostility: "No."
The two attacked the man in black simultaneously, instantly plunging him, who had been trying to escape, into a fierce battle.
Knowing he was no match for Dongfang Jincheng and Jun Mochen, the man in black kept looking for an opportunity to escape during the fight.
They didn't hesitate to use their life-saving trump card.
The effect was quite good; at least Dongfang Jincheng was quickly hit and withdrew from the fight with a livid face.
He has no internal energy left.
Realizing this, Dongfang Jincheng immediately called out to Jun Mochen, "Lord Jun, come back."
Jun Mochen was somewhat surprised to hear this, but he didn't press the matter further. However, before leaving, he tore off the mask from the man in black.
A scarred face came into their view.
However, the man in black quickly put his mask back on and left. The other men in black who were fighting also immediately retreated.
Just as Jun Mochen was about to order a pursuit, Dongfang Jincheng stopped him.
"No need to chase."
Jun Mochen looked at Dongfang Jincheng with a puzzled expression.
Dongfang Jincheng opened his hand, and a small black flying insect appeared in his palm.
Jun Mochen: "This is..."
Dongfang Jincheng didn't say much. He had already checked himself with his internal energy and found that he had no internal energy at all. However, apart from not having internal energy, there was nothing else wrong.
At this moment, a guard came to the two of them and said, "Your Highness, my lord, all three heads of the family are dead."
Upon hearing this, Jun Mochen snorted coldly: "Blood Fiend Sect."
Dongfang Jincheng said, "We'll remember this debt and get our revenge sooner or later. Let's go back now."
It's good to go back. He also wanted to ask Dongfang Jin why he suddenly let the Blood Fiend Sect members go. They had the upper hand just now and could have wiped them all out in a little while.
