189 Human Heart
The origin of the four golden pillars in Meng Hang’s house was from the commoners, and the things he was keeping in them were from the children who had been sent over.
The commoners fell into despair. Some even wailed.
“I only have one child at home. Damn it!”
“How can he be so bad? How can he be so bad?”
“He lied to us and killed our children.”
“I’ll kill him!”
“Yes, I’m going to kill him!”
In the crowd, it was unknown which one of them had taken the lead, but many people began to echo him. They were all agitated and wanted to rush into the residence to look for Meng Hang.
“Where is he?”
Unable to find him, they could only come out and ask Jiang Ying and Ning Yue again.
“Did you hide him?”
“Yes, did you protect him?”
“Hand him over!”
“Right!”
Unable to find an outlet, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue almost became their targets.
“Quiet, everyone!” Jiang Ying shouted at everyone. He had to use all his strength because the scene was too noisy.
“What do you want?” the commoners questioned Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying raised his hand. “Listen to me quietly! If we wanted to protect him, we wouldn’t have come all the way here to investigate him.”
With Jiang Ying’s words, everyone fell completely silent. At this moment, no one dared to speak. They all looked at Jiang Ying quietly.
“We came to investigate him because we feel that there’s something wrong with him. Now that he’s been locked up in prison and waiting for his execution, please wait patiently. I’ll continue to investigate his crimes. Seven days. I’ll definitely give everyone an explanation within seven days!”
Originally, when Jiang Ying mentioned that he wanted to investigate Meng Hang’s crimes, everyone thought that Jiang Ying was trying to deceive them. Just as they were about to flare up, they heard Jiang Ying mention seven days.
“Who are you? Why should we believe you?” one of the commoners asked.
They were afraid of being deceived. Wasn’t Meng Hang enough?
Understanding what these people were thinking, Jiang Ying took out the token that represented his identity. “I’m the heir of Prince Jin, Jiang Ying.”
Jiang Ying?
The heir of King Jin?
Wasn’t that the king of this fief?
“Who knows if you’re protected by officials!” someone said again.
“Don’t worry, everyone. I’ll be here for the time being. If you find that I can’t give you an explanation in seven days, I’ll let you deal with me.”
With Jiang Ying’s words, everyone was finally much more relieved.
“Alright, in that case, please tell me where you live. We’ll go to your place every day to check on your progress.”
“Everyone, it’s fine to see the progress, but I have a request. You can send three representatives at most. Otherwise, how can I answer everyone at once?.”
If he didn’t answer them, this group of people would be worried. If he answered people one by one, everyone would be delayed for a few minutes.
A few minutes didn’t seem like much, but with so many people taking a few minutes each, there would be a long delay.
This group of people looked at each other. After thinking for a long time, they said, “Alright, how about this? When we go back, we’ll find three representatives to check your daily progress.”
“Also, will you destroy the evidence?” The commoners did not trust Jiang Ying that much.
“I was just about to tell everyone about this. I’m worried that you’ll be the only ones guarding it because his foundation is too deep. I’m worried that he’ll send someone to destroy the incriminating evidence. My suggestion is that you send ten people to guard it with my people. Is that okay?”
Ning Yue frowned tightly, as if she did not agree with Jiang Ying’s suggestion.
Ten people was a little too little. Although this thing was not much, it was huge. Once Meng Hang found many people, this small number of people could only be wiped out.
After talking for a while, they finally persuaded this group of people to leave.
Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying, “Don’t you think twenty people are too few?”
“I only asked them to send ten people. I didn’t say that I would send ten too,” Jiang Ying said.
“Then how many people do you plan to send?” Ning Yue asked again.
“Ten guards and three secret guards,” Jiang Ying said.
No matter how capable Meng Hang was, he could not defeat the secret guards he had specially trained. With three of them around, he could be at ease.
Ning Yue nodded when she heard this. She was quite relieved. “By the way, do you want to take a look at Meng Hang?”
“Definitely. I don’t think he expects us to have found evidence of his crimes,” Jiang Ying said.
