Such a strange situation made everyone, including Che Mingde, feel a little strange, but they must also know that there must be something wrong with Mr. Zuo Futai, but no one has told them clearly yet. If they go to inquire, it is estimated that The conclusion can also be drawn quickly.
In fact, there was no need to inquire more. When Che Mingde returned to Taiwei Mansion, he learned from Liang Changmao that although the Supervisory Station was Zhang Feng's territory, Zuo Futai was indeed a nail in the coffin, otherwise he would be promoted to Yu Shi Zhongcheng. At that time, Zuo Futai was directly promoted to the commander of the Supervisory Station, but Zhang Feng kept suppressing him, and His Majesty seemed to have the intention to do so. Liang Changmao did not say it before, but just let Che Mingde feel it.
Che Mingde also understood Liang Changmao's painstaking efforts, and now that Yushitai has divided the house, they have to move there according to the rules. Liang Changmao also raised this point, and Che Mingde also agreed. He decided to tidy up the house first, and then move there. Of course, Che Mingde would not do these things when moving there. The Liang Mansion would naturally help. Liang Changmao even directly asked Liang Baiyun to help clean up.
Che Mingde knew that this was an expression from Lieutenant Liang, and he did not refuse.
In fact, after getting along with Liang Baiyun for a while, Che Mingde not only didn't hate her, but felt that Liang Baiyun was indeed a good woman. Although she had a bit of a temper, she also knew how to measure herself. She was much better than those who just abide by the rules. So he acquiesced to the marriage. After all, there were other aspects to consider. It would not go against his will to marry a woman who he didn't hate or even liked. Moreover, he could also see that Liang Baiyun was gradually developing feelings for him. thought.
Early the next morning, Che Mingde also arrived here early. As soon as he arrived here today, he followed Pang Zhong out.
The group of people took the inspection guards from the inspection station with them.
In addition to the left and right assistants and the supervisory censor, the supervisory station also has an supervisory guard, who is actually responsible for helping arrest people. The supervisory guard's official position is not high, and he is on the same level as the supervisory censor. However, because the supervisory guard There is only one such person, so his status is higher than that of ordinary supervisory censors.
The current supervisory guard is named Zhang Zhan. I heard that he is Zhang Feng's nephew. He can be said to be Zhang Feng's loyal supporter. Although the supervisory guard only has 300 people in total, it can be considered a powerful force.
Because it was the first time for Che Mingde and three other people to follow him, Zhang Zhan also left with his own men. Today, it was the Ximen Guard's boss, City Gate Lieutenant Fan Kuang, who set out to search.
The City Gate Lieutenant is in charge of the entry and exit of the eight gates of the capital, and the West Gate Guard Xin Xixin is his direct subordinate. If something happens to Xin Xixin, it would be strange if the City Gate Lieutenant is fine.
Compared with Ximen Guard, who is only a seventh-grade official, Chengmen Wei is much larger. It is a fifth-grade official position. Like the Assistant of the Supervisory Station, although it is not qualified to go to the morning court, it is still extremely important in the capital. Official position, because compared to the Eight Gates and Eight Guards, the City Gate Lieutenant is also responsible for the city gate defense, and his subordinates control part of the City Guards. Although the City Guards are only subordinate to the Forbidden Army in the capital, compared with other places, They were considered elite, so the formation was much larger. Not only were there four supervisory censors accompanying them, but Zhang Zhan also brought out half of the supervisory guards.
Che Mingde followed Zhang Zhan and Yang Man directly to Fan Kuang's home. Perhaps the capture of Ximen Guard Xin Xixin the day before yesterday had prepared them. When the large group of people arrived at Fan Kuang's home, although they were frightened, But not unexpected.
Everyone knew that Fan Kuang was not at home, and there was already another detachment. He Zhenting followed Pang Zhong and others to take him directly to capture him. The troops were divided into two groups.
Zhang Zhan first led his men to surround the place to prevent others from abandoning him. At the same time, he quickly controlled everyone in Fan Kuang's family. Following Yang Man, he asked his men to detain and guard the people in the house separately. Then he went straight to the study, bedroom and other places, and started searching himself. .
But when he entered the study and saw the charcoal basin in the study, Yang Man sighed. Obviously, he realized that some things had been burned.
Che Mingde followed him and did whatever he said. He must learn as soon as possible, especially for searching the study and bedroom. Che Mingde also felt that Yang Man was definitely a veteran in detective work. For example, on the floor of the study room, he found traces of movement under the cabinet, and then found a few loose blue bricks under the cabinet. There was a hidden compartment underneath. Unfortunately, the items in this hidden compartment were missing. He didn't know if it was. It has been thrown into the charcoal pot and burned. I also found a hidden compartment under the bed in the bedroom. There were some things here, but they were financial items such as gold, silver, and jewelry. They seemed to be worth a lot, but the round coins strung directly together amounted to thirty for each hundred pieces. Multiple strings, not to mention some other valuables.
In addition, Zhang Zhan and others also searched a lot of property in other places, and all the searched items were first placed in the yard, and then publicly counted by inspections, and then recorded one by one.
After finishing these things, Fan Kuang's wives, concubines, and children were also arrested and interrogated separately. Those who felt that they had suspicions were taken away alone and waited for further interrogation. Those who did not seem to have much suspicion for the time being would not be let go immediately. , but were also taken away together and will be temporarily guarded in another place.
From breaking in at three o'clock in the morning until the sun was setting in the west, the group of people went back. When they went back, Che Mingde also knew that Fan Kuang had been brought back early in the morning.
These people who were brought back were directly imprisoned in the prison of the Supervisory Station. Only when they were interrogated and were waiting to be convicted, would they be transferred to the Prison Station. It can be said that the Supervisory Station had the most important role in the entire censorship. Taiwan has great power, which is why Zhang Feng is called a cruel official.
After the person was brought back, they were not in a hurry to interrogate him immediately. Instead, the two groups gathered together to sum up the clues and then decided how to interrogate the main culprit. Moreover, Fan Kuang was much more important than the minor official Ximen Guard. , even Zhou Sai must report it to Zhang Feng to see if Master Zhang needs to interrogate him personally.
Sure enough, Zhang Feng really decided to come over tonight for the night interrogation in person, so Che Mingde and others came to the monitoring station and stayed up all night the next day.
Gao Haiyang originally planned to visit Lieutenant Liang today, but because of the matters at hand, he could postpone it temporarily.
After dinner, Che Mingde waited until almost midnight before seeing Zhang Feng appear. It was obvious that Mr. Zhang was also studying the file carefully before that, and he had heard it mentioned by his colleagues before, and it seemed to be more useful at this time. It was conducive to interrogation, and he also had the opportunity to see with his own eyes whether this legendary cruel official was as ruthless as the rumors.
