Chapter 258 Collecting Evidence
Chapter 258 Collecting Evidence
The second prince, who was standing far away, had a meaningful smile on his face. That smile revealed a hint of contempt, and a hint of pride at the imminent success.
Lin Congyun was delighted. Isn't the second prince the perfect breakthrough point?
Thinking of this, she suddenly exerted her strength, and the whip seemed to have eyes, and swung straight towards the second prince.
When the Second Prince saw this, his expression changed slightly and he quickly dodged the attack of the whip.
But Lin Congyun's target was not him, but a guard behind him.
With a "pop" sound, the guard fell to the ground, leaving a long whip mark on his face.
"Protect the Second Prince!"
Someone shouted loudly, and the people who were originally besieging Lin Congyun all moved towards the direction of the second prince, fearing that he would be hurt.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Congyun quickly dodged, broke away from the battle circle, and rushed towards the gate.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!"
Seeing this, the second prince sneered and waved his hand to have someone block Lin Congyun's way.
As for Lin Congyun, she never thought of escaping. Her goal was very clear, which was to capture the second prince.
Only by catching him can today's crisis be resolved.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, her speed increased instead of slowing down. She changed direction and rushed straight towards the Second Prince.
"Stop her!"
When the second prince saw this, his expression changed slightly and he hurriedly waved his hand to ask someone to stop Lin Congyun.
But Lin Congyun took advantage of the space, and to others it seemed that she was extremely fast, and her figure was erratic and unpredictable.
In the blink of an eye, she had rushed in front of the Second Prince, and her whip was like a snake escaping from a cave, winding straight towards the Second Prince's neck.
The second prince's face suddenly changed, and he quickly dodged while reaching out to grab the whip.
But he was still a step too slow, and the whip had already wrapped around his neck.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him!"
Lin Congyun exerted force on his hands, and the whip tightened immediately, and a painful expression appeared on the second prince's face.
"Let me go now, or I will kill you without a burial place!" The second prince threatened while struggling.
"Shut up!"
Lin Congyun glared at him and exerted force with his hands again. The Second Prince dared not speak anymore.
"Stop it, everyone, or I will kill him!" Lin Congyun looked at the guards who were still attacking and shouted loudly.
Hearing Lin Congyun's words, the guards stopped what they were doing and looked at the second prince whose neck was wrapped with a whip.
"Get out!"
The second prince said this with difficulty, and the guards immediately retreated upon hearing his words.
"Tell all your people to leave the government office, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Lin Congyun said coldly to the second prince.
When the Second Prince heard this, his face became terribly gloomy, but he also knew that his life was now in Lin Congyun's hands and he had to listen to her.
He waved his hand, signaling his men to leave the government office.
As the Second Prince's men left the government office, Lin Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that now was not the time to relax.
She must find a way to expose the true identity of the second prince.
Thinking of this, she looked at the Second Prince whose neck was wrapped by a whip, and a sneer appeared on her face: "Tell me, who are you? Why are you pretending to be the Second Prince?"
The second prince's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure: "What are you talking about? I am the second prince."
"Still pretending?"
Lin Congyun glared at him, exerted force with his hands, and tore off his human skin mask. A completely unfamiliar face appeared in front of Lin Congyun.
This person has an ordinary face and would be hard to find if thrown into a crowd. He doesn't look like the second prince at all.
But if you look closely, this person's figure is somewhat similar to the second prince. If he wears a human skin mask, he can be mistaken for the real thing.
"Tell me, who are you?" Lin Congyun looked at the strange man and asked sternly, "Why are you pretending to be the second prince?"
"I...I said, I said..."
The strange man felt pain and immediately begged for mercy, not daring to hide anything. It turned out that Mo Yunqi asked him to pretend to be the second prince.
But he didn't expect that Lin Congyun could see that this person was a fake Second Prince.
The people who followed the fake Second Prince to besiege Lin Congyun just now, except for those brought here, the rest were the Second Prince's original men and the prefect's men.
At this moment, these people had realized that they had been cheated, and they all stood outside the yard, not daring to move.
How could Lin Congyun let go of such a good opportunity?
They arrested all these people directly, saying that they were investigating whether there were any accomplices among them, but in fact they replaced all of them with their own people.
Now that the prefect is dead, the entire government office has completely fallen into Lin Congyun's hands.
The man who pretended to be the second prince locked him up with Mo Yunqi, as these two still had some use.
After Lin Congyun arranged things here, Fang Deyong also sent someone to deliver a reply letter, saying that he had successfully taken over the garrison of Bianyun Pass, and now Bianyun Pass was under their complete control.
When Lin Congyun heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.
In the next few days, Lin Congyun pretended to be the second prince and took charge of all the affairs of Bianyun Pass, replacing all the people in important positions with his own people.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, she did not replace everyone. She just removed those who did not listen to her and replaced them with obedient people.
In just a few days, the entire Bianyun Pass had completely changed. Everyone only knew that the Second Prince had come to Bianyun Pass and was sorting out the affairs of Bianyun Pass, but they did not know that this was actually being secretly controlled by Lin Congyun.
All the officials who had colluded with Huo Xiongcai were arrested by Lin Congyun. She did not deal with these people immediately, but planned to deal with them together after Huo Xiongcai's matter was resolved.
So she has been collecting evidence of the crimes of Huo Xiongcai and others these days. As long as the evidence is conclusive, she can deal with these people with justification.
Lin Congyun sat in the study, the flickering candlelight illuminated her resolute face.
There were several secret letters spread out on the table, all of which contained irrefutable evidence of Huo Xiongcai's corruption, abuse of power, and forming cliques for personal gain.
She read carefully, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting through the disguise of those termites.
As the evidence of crimes gradually accumulated like a mountain, Lin Congyun knew that the time had come. He wrote a notice in the name of the second prince and had it posted on the streets of Bianyun Pass.
Every word on the notice was powerful, pointing directly to the numerous bad deeds of Huo Xiongcai and his cronies. The words showed both the insistence on justice and the comfort and promise to the people.
For a time, people in Bianyun Pass were in unrest, and the people were talking about it. Their indignation at the actions of Huo Xiongcai and others surged like a tide.
