Chapter 510 Interrogation (Part 2)
Li Ling turned around and returned to Fang Jinbo. At this time, his face had long disappeared from the gloom he had just now. He was looking at the prisoner again with a teasing look, playing with the two pendants in his hand.
Fang Jinbo's eyes also fell on the thing in Li Ling's hand, his face turned pale, and his lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak for a while, but the panic in his eyes could not be covered up.
"Prince Fang, it seems that you also noticed something is wrong. Look at these two things, do you recognize them?" Li Ling was real and immediately handed over the golden lock and jade statue that attracted the other party's whole mind. Fang Jinbo also burst out with agility that was completely incompatible with this body. He snatched two things in one hand, took them to his eyes with both hands, and looked at them carefully.
The more he looked, the more fear he felt in his heart. The gold lock was very heavy, it weighed more than three or three, and the workmanship was very exquisite. On it, he also engraved eight words that he was extremely familiar with in seal characters - no disaster or difficulty, and a hundred years of life, which was his handwriting.
As for the white jade Guanyin pendant, it was also very valuable. Fang Jinbo only observed it for a brief moment and quickly turned it over and looked at his back. However, he saw that the word "Peace" was also carved from his own handwriting.
In this way, Fang Jinbo was able to confirm that these two things were not forged, but really came from his two grandchildren. This made his body tremble again: "What did you...have you done to them?"
"It's nothing, it's just intercepting those who tried to escape from Jiangnan." Li Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and had a conclusion in his mind. This time, he really grasped the other party's seven-inch vital points!
"Tsk tsk, I always thought that you, Fang Jinbo, was a cruel person who could abandon everything for the cause of Luotian Sect. Whether it was your own life or the tens of thousands of people in my county, you could sacrifice anytime in your eyes. I really didn't expect that there were people you cared about, that was your family.
"But that's right. If you didn't regard them more seriously than anything else, how could you send someone away two days earlier? But, you're too careless about me, Li Ling, do you think I'll relax my surveillance of you and your family after the Xu family is in trouble? Do you think you'll be safe if you send them secretly out of Huating?
"No, in fact, all their actions were under the surveillance of my spy. I also specially asked the brothers of the Cao Gang to follow me. The original intention was to take a long line to catch big fish, and I wanted to find more traitors through them. But they just went north and not only did not contact outsiders, but also wanted to leave Jiangnan. There was no way, so I could only hold the person first.
"These two things were taken from the necks of two children under ten years old. Don't worry, although they resisted at that time, the Cao Gang was a hero. You were not a traitor and could not do anything to hurt women and children, so they were fine for the time being. Not only them, but your thirty-seven members of the Fang family were also safe, at least now. As for how they will be dealt with in the end, it depends on what choices you, Fang Jinbo, make."
After saying so slowly, Li Ling had completely revealed his intentions and put a difficult choice in front of Fang Jinbo, who had just made him make a choice. This made Fang Jinbo's body tremble violently again, and his eyes were so red that it could spit out fire. He held the two pendants tightly and said with hissing: "Li Ling, you are so despicable, so vicious, and you won't even let the child go!"
What was received was Li Ling's sneer: "You actually said I was vicious? You really mean to be unreasonable! What is your Luotian Sect doing? You want to dig a dike and let water flood the entire Huating County. By then, how many innocent people will be buried in the belly of fish, how many underage children are here, and even how many cradle babies are not even speaking smoothly. Have you ever thought about it?
"Now, you actually say that I am vicious because I caught your family? Fang Jinbo, is it that only your family's life is life, and the lives of others are grass? In my eyes, it is exactly the opposite. Their lives are more worthy of maintenance than the lives of your whole family!
"I can tell you the truth. As long as one of the people in Huating County died of a flood, I will drag your whole family to the street and die of a burrow, no matter whether he is a woman, a child, an elderly person or a child! I, Li Ling, do what I say, you better figure it out!"
Li Ling said these words in the coldest tone, then looked down on the other party, staring at Fang Jinbo's face twisted and trembling, obviously he was making the final struggle. He could also hear that Li Ling's words were not a false threat. Once he really refused to explain the food, Li Ling would definitely silence his whole family first.
The huge fear grabbed Fang Jinbo's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe, and his eyes even more protruded, almost falling out of his eye sockets. But Li Ling was still unmoved and still looked at him like this, putting enough pressure on the other party, forcing the other party to follow his requirements.
Li Ling was already convinced that the Fang family members who were sent out early were his siege. Although Fang Jinbo was the leader of the Luotian Sect, he was not as careless as he imagined. He had people he cared about, so he sent his family away before the incident.
The more this happens, the more it means that he has taken his vital points and can force him to give in and say everything. Although Li Ling was a little uneasy, fearing that the other party would die together in the end, at least on the surface, he looked quite cold and calm.
Half a cup of tea looked at each other and was entangled. Fang Jinbo, who was trembling, finally relaxed. His whole body was exhausted in this struggle. He looked even more decayed than before, and he was about to die: "I... can tell you the location of those foods, but you have to promise me to save their lives..." Between the great cause of the Holy Church and the lives of his relatives, he finally chose the latter.
"Yes. As long as you tell the truth and let me survive this flood, the people who escaped from the Fang family will not be implicated. As long as they have nothing to do with the Luotian Sect, I can also ask the Cao Gang people to send them to other places so that the government can't find them." Li Ling gave a heart-warming reply.
"Are you telling the truth?" Fang Jinbo couldn't believe this promise.
"I can swear to the sky, and the sky can prove it. If you, Fang Chuangbo, can cooperate with me and explain everything, I, Li Ling, will let your family leave safely. As long as they no longer do evil in the future, I can let them go completely. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and will die without a complete body!"
Li Ling decisively made a poisonous oath, which made Fang Jinbo finally have no worries. After breathing a long sigh, he said slowly: "I can tell you where the food is, they are on the sea. As early as a few months ago, when we were preparing to raise this incident, I had already sent all the food that the two families had accumulated for many years to sea by boat."
"Have you gone to sea?" Li Ling looked surprised. He had thought before that Huating was by sea and wanted to hide the huge amount of food from everyone. The Fang family, who has sea ship trade, might really use this power.
But the problem is that the variables going to sea are much larger than those on land. Nowadays, it is not a future generation. No matter how big the ship is, it cannot be too far away from the shore. In addition to the changing climate on Shanghai, how could they dare to take the risk of putting food on the unpredictable sea?
Fortunately, Fang Jinbo gave an explanation soon: "I loaded the grains and sent them out to sea, and then asked someone to park them in a bay more than fifty miles north of Huating. There was a hill behind it and the location was hidden. It was impossible for ordinary people to find that there were ships docking. Because they were on the coast, they were not afraid of the invasion of wind and waves..."
Li Ling finally understood that this trick was indeed brilliant. Who would have thought that he would smuggle the grain out of the sea and hide it in a natural port bay. Moreover, if there is no certain location in the southeast coast, if there is no clear location, it will be almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
After letting out a breath, Li Ling said again: "Then please tell me the specific location..."
"I want to see my family first, confirm that they are safe, and then tell you the specific location." Fang Jinbo has his own persistence, even if Li Ling swears to poison.
Li Ling frowned slightly, but did not force him anymore, just nodded: "Okay, I will let you see your family within three days. But I still have something to ask you, what specific plans do you have in Jiangnan? Flooding the city can certainly cause great damage to Jiangnan, but it is not that easy to rebel."
If the rebellion is as simple as he said, as long as there is a natural disaster, someone can raise the anti-flagration and gather thousands of victims, then any dynasty will rebel in a short period of time and become a mess. After all, the world is so big that natural disasters will occur somewhere every year.
Fang Jinbo was hesitant again, but with Li Ling's words: "At this point, you have betrayed the Luotian Sect, and all your layout in Huating has failed. What's the problem with it?"
Yes, he has become a traitor to the Luotian Sect, and chaos elsewhere should have happened long ago. What is the difference between saying or not? After understanding this, he finally accepted his fate and spoke: "In fact, what I know about the overall plan is limited, and I also follow the instructions of several major figures in the sect. I only know that they have personnel in Jiangnan. As I am, I can stir up public opinion when the disaster comes, follow my Holy Sect to raise an army, kill officials and rebel!"
