Chen Jiusi’s Terrifying Connections (10,000 Characters for Subscription)_3 “Finally, one of the traffickers couldn’t hold out any longer and said, “No, no, I confess, I confess.”

Seeing one trafficker confess, another also said, “I confess, I too confess!”

Seeing this, Wu Hong said, “So you all want to confess, but there’s no rush.

Jiu Si, take this one to the next room for interrogation.

I’ll keep this one here.

Later, I’ll compare your testimonies.

If anyone lies…

Well, you can expect to turn into a pile of rotten flesh!”

Hearing this, both traffickers shouted, “I won’t lie!”

Then they exchanged glances.

At that moment, Chen Jie took one of the traffickers into another room, and the interrogations began simultaneously on both sides.

After the interrogations were finished, Wu Hong and Chen Jie met up.

“Here are the testimonies.”

Wu Hong handed over the testimonies to Chen Jie, who read them from start to finish, frowning as he did so.

“They have admitted to abducting several children in Mianshui County over the past few days, yet they got their hands on no one today!”

Chen Jie looked at the testimonies as he spoke.

Wu Hong said, “They should not have spoken.

According to Daqian law, selling two or more children deserves death by beheading; causing significant harm also warrants immediate execution.”

Chen Jie nodded upon hearing this.

Throughout history, those trafficking in human lives faced severe punishments—death by beheading in the Qin Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Song Dynasty.

Daqian laws, based on those of Song, added that causing significant harm also incurred immediate execution.

In essence, there was zero tolerance for human trafficking.

And since these two had already admitted to abducting several children, their death sentences were a foregone conclusion.

For such criminals, there was no point in admitting to even more crimes—there was no need to lie.

But they claimed that they didn’t nab anyone today, and Ruirui had just gone missing today—it couldn’t have been their doing!

Thinking this, Chen Jie and Wu Hong exchanged a glance, Wu Hong saying, “It seems Mianshui County has more than two snatchers.”

With this in mind, they brought the prisoners together.

Chen Jie and Wu Hong looked at each other, then began, “We’ve reviewed your confessions and, for the most part, they match.

However, there are some details we need to ask you about.”

The two slightly raised their eyes but did not say much more.

The two traffickers had resigned themselves to their fate, showing little struggle at this point, and said, “We’ve told you everything we know.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie asked, “So, tell me—how many snatchers are there in Mianshui County?”

The two traffickers looked at each other upon hearing the question.

“Speak when you’re ready, and don’t look at anyone else!”

Wu Hong bellowed, to prevent them from colluding.

Determined now, the traffickers knew they had no chance to survive and thus had no need to follow the rules of Jianghu.

The rule in Jianghu was that one should never betray their fellows; otherwise, they would be hunted down and killed by their own.

But now, they were not going to survive, and in front of Zhang Liye’s disciple, it was like facing a demon.

To think that he could dislocate a person’s bones and joints, to disassemble an arm joint by joint, was utterly terrifying.

Without hesitation, they said, “Lady Hua in the south of the city, Old Donkey in the west, Ye Laishou…”

They mentioned seven or eight names at once, all notable figures in their line of work.

For example, Lady Hua would disguise herself as a pitiable old woman, then tell people she had no money for food or that she had twisted her ankle, her home just ahead, and plead with kind-hearted children to help her there—only to be knocked out at her den with Knockout Drug.

And then there was Old Donkey and Ye Laishou in the north of the city, operating under cover of darkness, using candy laced with drugs.

Children who consumed it were taken away immediately and sold.

Wu Hong and Chen Jie noted each name, and when it seemed they had recorded enough, they asked, “Is there anything else you need to add?”

“No, no more.”

Hearing this, Wu Hong said, “Jiu Si, don’t worry, I’ll set out to capture them immediately.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, “I’ll take care of the two in the west of the city; the others, you’ll have to exert yourself a bit more.”

After saying that, they both rose to their feet, Wu Hong saying, “Jiu Si, rest assured, I’ll ask my master for help.

I guarantee we’ll catch all these people before night falls!”

Chen Jie thanked him, “Brother Hong, I can’t thank you enough.”

“What’s there to thank?

Ruirui is your sister, and she’s my sister too.

It’s too formal to thank for such a thing.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, “Alright, let’s go our separate ways then.”

“Mhm.”

Wu Hong quickly rushed to Zhang Liye’s office, where Zhang Liye was listening to reports from his subordinates.

Wu Hong knocked and entered.

Seeing his urgency, Zhang Liye asked, “What’s the matter?”

Wu Hong said, “Master, your disciple has a favor to ask of you.”

“Oh, what is it?”

Hearing this, Wu Hong said, “It’s about Chen Jiusi, you know him.

His sister Ruirui, my sister…”

“So I’m requesting Master’s help to deploy some people for me!”

Zhang Liye said, “But my men are all engaged in tasks at the moment.”

“Master, she’s really my sister.”

Zhang Liye said, “Alright then.

Fifty men from the fast class are at your disposal right now, and notify the Strong Class and Zao Ban—have all the resting personnel immediately assemble and report to Wu Hong.

No mistakes allowed.”

Saying this, Zhang Liye immediately issued a fire stick, which would allow Wu Hong to mobilize all the mentioned personnel.

Wu Hong thanked him, “Thank you, Master.”

Zhang Liye said, “Go now, and handle your business.

If you encounter any difficulties, your master will help you.”

“Yes.”

Wu Hong left with the fire stick in a hurry, while another person looked at Zhang Liye and remarked, “Lord arrest officer, Mr.

Wu seems a bit different today.

Usually, he would never use his official power like this.”
