Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Captured_1

It was at this time that the people of the Dajin Dynasty learned that when the Emperor gets ruthless, he is more brutal than anyone else, he was never an incompetent fool in the first place.

A man able to tolerate humiliation while serving by Qin Kun’s side for over a decade, and finally having the upper hand, was never an incompetent fool in the first place.

Because Qin Kun decided to retire to Fucheng, in no more than two days, those serving in this county were all those fostered by the Emperor, including the newly appointed Governor.

From the Governor Mansion to every other department, all those who had contacts with Qin Kun were to be thoroughly investigated.

Nan Feng, who had been avoiding her counterparts’ inquiries for some time now, was surprisingly unaware that the new governor had begun to thoroughly investigate the Business Association.

The investigators were all brown-nosers. They were on a mission and the more people they implicated, the greater the chance of being rewarded. So they indiscriminately executed all who they thought were guilty, regardless of the severity of their charges.

People like Chairman Wan Hui, who often visited Qin Kun’s mansion, were of course, the first to be arrested.

However, when Qin Kun fled, he took a lot of gold and silver, all from the Business Association. So the investigators naturally wouldn’t stop at just catching Wan Hui, they wanted him to expose more accomplices.

So Chairman Wan Hui exposed some of the other Association Presidents too.

Nan Feng was among them.

As the investigators were examining the bank’s books, they discovered that Nan Feng had indeed provided money to the bank. Her name was registered in Qin Kun’s Commercial Bank. She was also in charge of managing some shops, effectively making her one of the leaders.

So, the investigators quickly arrived at her doorstep.

One day, Nan Feng was in the shop with Xue Ling when investigators arrived. They asked her to accompany them to the Inspection Mansion. Nan Feng didn’t understand why, so she asked, "What for?"

Nan Feng thought her rivals in the rouge industry reported her.

During this time, some had sought her out for compensation. But she had no money to compensate them, having passed all such matters to Wan Hui. However, some shop owners didn’t trust her and threatened to report her.

The investigators said, "It’s no big deal. We just need to talk to you about the matter regarding your Business Association. If it is not serious, you will be released soon."

Investigative officers always adopted this tone of voice to avoid resistance, emphasizing the matter was not serious and promising a quick release.

However...

Nan Feng was unable to understand their ploy. She only thought that the issues with the Business Association had nothing to do with her. After all, she was deceived by Qin Kun and Wan Hui, a naive young girl who knew nothing.

Moreover, not going with them would show that she had something to hide. Hence, after some thinking, she decided to follow them.

Who knew, this simple decision would lead to great trouble.

As soon as Nan Feng stepped into the Inspection Mansion, a knife was held to her neck: "Don’t move, comply with us, or you die."

With a knife at her front and back, Nan Feng dared not move, and was thus handcuffed and thrown into the prison.

In the cell, Nan Feng spotted Wan Hui and several other people from the Business Association. These were the industry leaders carefully chosen by Qin Kun, all were look gloomy and dispirited.

Nan Feng suddenly understood something.

She was now considered a collaborator of Qin Kun. This misfortune was significant; she could be beheaded at any time.

...

Xue Ling had been waiting until dusk, but Nan Feng was nowhere to be seen. Being unable to bear it any longer, she rushed to the Inspection Mansion to seek information.

"Where is the young lady who was brought in this morning? Sixteen or seventeen years old, this tall..."
