What the cavalry said caused a slight commotion among the people in the team. Yan Liqiang was also stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the horn python bow tightened slightly. Could it be that someone actually dared to intercept the inspector's team on the road in broad daylight
"Sir, I'll go and take a look..." Liang Yiji said immediately.
Sun Bingchen laughed, "No need to go. That group of people must be the group led by Ganzhou Governor Lei Sitong and Lord Lei to welcome us. Just keep going. I guess it won't be long before we can see Lord Lei!"
Yan Liqiang was slightly stunned, then he suddenly realized that the Ganzhou governor Lei Sitong had just pacified the Ye family a few days ago and was probably still in Weiyuan County at this time. After hearing the news of Sun Bingchen's arrival, he brought people to greet him on the road.
The team continued to move forward.
Sure enough, after walking only three or four miles, Yan Liqiang saw more than a dozen riders on rhinoceros horses galloping towards the team from a distance.
Among the dozen or so people, there was one who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a bright purple battle armor, riding a snow-white rhinoceros horse, with three long beards, a high nose, long eyebrows, and a majestic appearance. A group of armored officers surrounded him like the moon surrounded by stars. Yan Liqiang guessed the identity of the man at a glance.
Yan Liqiang had heard before that the Ganzhou governor Lei Sitong was a military general, and today he saw that it was true.
Sure enough, when they saw that person coming, Sun Bingchen raised his hand and the whole team stopped.
“Hahaha, Lord Sun, I’m here to pick you up. Lord Sun has done a great thing for the people of Ganzhou this time…” The man was still a long way away from Sun Bingchen’s team when he burst into laughter and ran over on his rhinoceros horse while speaking.
"Lord Lei, you are too polite. I just did what I should do!" Sun Bingchen said with a smile.
Within two sentences, the Ganzhou governor Lei Sitong finally came to the front of the team on horseback with a group of officers, and then pulled the reins at the same time.
"Where is that guy Ye Tiancheng?" Lei Sitong had a hot temper. As soon as he stopped, he asked straight to the point.
"In the prison van at the back!" Sun Bingchen pointed to the prison van at the back of the team.
"Wait for me to go over and see what Ye Tiancheng looks like..." Lei Sitong said, and then he rode his horse to the back of the team, circled the prisoner car twice, and said loudly, "Ye Tiancheng, you didn't expect that your Ye family would have this day, right?"
Ye Tiancheng was handcuffed and shackled in the prison van, and he had lost the ability to resist. When he was on the road these days, he didn't say a word, and was as silent as if there was no one in the prison van. Except for being allowed to get off the prison van on time every day to relieve himself and stay overnight, he was very quiet in the prison van, so much so that someone often had to look in through the window of the prison van to see if anything had happened to him.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is no need to say more!" Hearing Lei Sitong's words, Ye Tiancheng's gloomy face finally showed a little bit from the gap in the prison car window. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lei Sitong riding on the horse with resentment. In the past few days, the once glorious prefect of Pingxi County suddenly looked much older. Not only did his face lose its luster and majesty, but even his hair turned a lot whiter.
"Bullshit, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. You Ye family also want to be bandits. At best, you are just thieves, and the most despicable traitors!" Lei Sitong, who was riding on the rhinoceros horse, spat on the ground and looked at Ye Tiancheng in the prison car with disdain. "If your Ye family just had different political views from me, even if you were independent in Ganzhou and dominated the world, I, Lei Sitong, would still turn a blind eye to you. But you think you have a backer in the court, so you collude with the Shatu people and even steal and sell the weapons of the Ganzhou army to the Shatu people. If I, Lei Sitong, can still let your Ye family continue to do whatever they want in Ganzhou, then all my military supplies over the years will be in vain. Even if I have to risk not being the governor this time, I will eradicate your Ye family and give the people of Ganzhou a bright and sunny day!"
"The Prime Minister will make the decision for our Ye family. We will not admit any of the charges you have imposed on us!" Ye Tiancheng, who was imprisoned in the prison car, laughed coldly and said in a cold tone, "Lei Sitong and Sun Bingchen, don't be complacent. Wait until we get to the Imperial Capital and see who will be the loser in the end. I am waiting to see what happens to you two. Our Ye family may not have a chance to turn things around..."
"Hahaha, if your Ye family wants to make a comeback, I'm afraid there's no possibility of that!" Lei Sitong's tone also turned cold.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tiancheng's expression in the prison car changed slightly.
"Two days ago, in the Weiyuan County prison, some Shatu people came to rob the prison, but they failed and alerted the guards. After a fierce battle, all of you in the Ye family, including Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianfa, died together with the Shatu people who robbed the prison. Just this morning, all of you in the Ye family have experienced the sparks behind you. So far, you are the only one alive in your Ye family..."
After hearing what Lei Sitong said, Ye Tiancheng's face in the prison car turned pale in an instant, then turned red, his whole body shook, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, "Lei Sitong, you are so cruel..."
"It's better for one family to cry than for the whole state to cry. Compared with the evil deeds committed by your Ye family, the death of a few people is nothing..." Lei Sitong glanced at Ye Tiancheng coldly, then turned his horse's head and walked forward, no longer paying attention to Ye Tiancheng in the prison car.
"Lei Sitong, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost..." Ye Tiancheng grabbed the iron cage of the prison car and screamed at the top of his lungs in the car.
Yan Liqiang, who was standing nearby, was also stunned when he heard what the Ganzhou governor said. He had never thought that the Ganzhou governor could be so decisive and so efficient. He just found an excuse and killed all the members of the Ye family without even a trial. The Shatu people's jailbreak was probably just a play arranged by the county governor, which not only confirmed the Ye family's guilt, but also completely eradicated the Ye family...
As expected of a governor who led troops, his methods of dealing with the enemy are ruthless, but they are also admirable!
“Master Lei, what you just said... but the fact..." Seeing Lei Sitong riding towards him, Sun Bingchen hesitated slightly, but still asked.
"Ahem, of course it's true. Does Lord Sun want to bring these evils of the Ye family to the Imperial Capital and let that person continue to use them to stir up trouble? I will eradicate these people now and put an end to it all. Only then can it be considered clean..." At this point, the Governor of Ganzhou looked around and said nonchalantly, "I am just here to make this clear to Lord Sun. After today, I will not admit it. I will not forgive anyone who falsely accuses me. How did those people from the Ye family die? I don't know anything today. Weiyuan County is the Ye family's old nest. It is not surprising that the Ye family has some followers in Weiyuan County. Those Shatu people who broke into the prison also died in the end. I still have the bodies. If anyone doesn't believe it, just come and take the bodies of those Shatu people for verification. I also keep the evidence of the Ye family's crimes. Even if someone from the Imperial Capital comes to verify, I am not afraid..."
Sun Bingchen could only smile bitterly and shake his head...
