Xie Xiuwen, who was far away in Yunzhou, had a serious expression at this time. After whispering a few words, a guard bowed and left.
Xu Zhao did not expect that things would develop to this point. Most of Prince Ping's private soldiers had been captured, dismissed, or even beheaded.
But there is another mysterious henchman that has not yet been revealed.
If it weren't for their insistence on interrogating the former Yunzhou governor, I'm afraid they would still know nothing about this mysterious team.
"Sir Xie, according to the confessions of these criminals, the team should be less than a hundred people. However, we have searched all over Yunzhou and have not found it yet. Is it a bit risky to order people to bring evidence to Beijing at this time?"
Xie Xiuwen glanced out the window and said solemnly: "If we delay any longer, I'm afraid that the governor's office will also be attacked. By then, the death of you and me will be a trivial matter. These can prove that Prince Ping has a treasonous intention." But it’s a big deal that it’s just disappeared! We can’t just watch the evidence being destroyed while the Holy One has nothing to do against King Ping.”
In this regard, Xu Zhao only responded with silence.
When things got to this point, they did have a lot of evidence in their hands. Whether it was private iron ore mining or extortionate expropriation, these were enough to put Prince Ping in jail.
But the problem is that they are far away in Yunzhou, and now they can only send the documents, but the relevant evidence has always been left in the governor's mansion.
At the moment, they are unable to find the elite team. In all likelihood, those people are focused on these evidences.
In this case, the best solution is to secretly transport all these evidences to the capital.
Although they have many guards here, including not only the Royal Guards sent by the Holy Emperor, but also a thousand elite soldiers sent by the Governor's Palace, the elite of a hundred people are probably hidden in some corners. Once they take action, It will definitely make it inevitable for those of them who are exposed to the public.
Xie Xiuwen acted very quickly and carefully. He specially sent three groups of people.
One group took the land route, and the other two groups took the water route.
True and false, false and true, just to prevent the evidence from being destroyed.
After these three groups of people set off, Xie Xiuwen and Xu Zhao dressed up in disguise, and asked their guards to dress up as schoolboys, and then set off overland with more than ten boxes and cages.
That night, they were besieged.
A night of fighting and bloodshed.
Li Shan and others always protected Xie Xiuwen, cutting down cold arrows from time to time.
As daylight approached, the sound of fighting finally faded away.
"Two adults, my subordinates have checked and killed a total of thirty-six thieves, injured seventeen, and more than ten escaped. We have sent people to pursue them. It has been confirmed that these people are the elites in the dense forest behind the mine. One of them has confessed that they are dead soldiers secretly trained by King Ping, a total of one hundred and twenty-two people."
Xu Zhao exclaimed that there were actually one hundred and twenty-two people. The information they had previously known was wrong again.
"You confessed so quickly? Aren't you a dead soldier?"
Xie Xiuwen didn't say anything. Li Shan looked over and saw dead soldiers everywhere. The blood stained the area red. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere. No matter how powerful the dead soldiers were, they would not be able to see this scene without being disturbed.
The deputy general immediately reported back: "The dead soldier lost a leg and an arm and wanted to die. But now he has no control over his life and death, so it is very easy to interrogate him."
Xu Zhao stopped talking.
Sure enough, one force can defeat ten.
No matter how stubborn you are, at this moment when you have no choice but to live or die, you have to admit defeat.
Xie Xiuwen pursed his lips and thought for a while, pacing back and forth, but his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.
"It is estimated that only half of us are here to intercept and kill us this time, so there are still half of them. Could it be that they are going to intercept and kill our guards who are transporting evidence?"
Xu Zhao looked stern.
Although he didn't know how to use martial arts, he could still see that these people were quite ruthless when they were fighting, and they were clearly rushing forward with a desperate attitude.
If they hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid it would be the two of them lying on the ground now.
"Thank you, sir?"
Xie Xiuwen shook his head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Although these dead soldiers have been trained, we are better than our numbers. Moreover, they have only a small number of people, and they dare to spread out and act. It is simply stupid!"
The corners of Xu Zhao's lips twitched slightly and he stopped speaking.
Two days later, the entire group returned to the Governor's Mansion in Yunzhou.
The matter about the dead soldiers that caused everyone a headache has been solved.
There are currently two people on the run, both of whom were injured, and are now being vigorously pursued.
"Sir Xu, we should take a rest and return to Beijing as soon as possible."
"What Mr. Xie said is absolutely true. This case has been investigated for more than two months, and the evidence has been basically collected. Now I can return to Beijing to resume my duties."
Cheng Jingzhou was outside asking for a meeting at this time.
Xu Zhao knew that this young man was Xie Xiuwen's future son-in-law. He originally thought that he was just good-looking, but he never thought that when he came to Yunzhou to handle the case, this young man turned out to be smart and sharp. If it hadn't been for him, he would have been surveying the mine last time. , they will have trouble.
"The student has met these two adults."
"Cheng Sanlang, please forgive me. You are here in a hurry, but what is the important matter?"
Xu Zhao still likes Cheng Jingzhou very much. He had a good impression when they first met him. Later, when he saw his agility and resourcefulness, he believed that this man would have a bright future.
"The student does have something important to report. Mr. Xie previously ordered the student to secretly investigate several local private schools, and now the results have been obtained."
After Cheng Jingzhou finished speaking, he presented the testimony in his sleeve pocket.
Xie Xiuwen took it and gave several to Xu Zhao.
I never thought that those private schools were for the purpose of teaching, but in fact they were specially designed for Prince Ping to recruit talented people.
"That's unreasonable! Prince Ping is really dirty in his actions. If it's just a serious solicitation, how can he come up with such a dirty trick?"
But it turned out that some talented people were unwilling to be recruited by Prince Ping, so those people secretly set obstacles for such people, either by setting traps to get the students' leverage, or by simply ruining the people's affairs.
Such evil deeds have truly offended scholars all over the world!
"Master Xu, don't be angry. Fortunately, now that we have found out the truth, we should also give an explanation to those students who died unjustly."
"It's thanks to Mr. Xie's wisdom. I have been to these places before, but found nothing wrong. It shows that I still have too little experience in handling cases. This trip is all due to Mr. Xie's wisdom. I am really ashamed."
"Master Xu, there is no need to be so self-effacing. Since you and I are here under the emperor's orders, we should do our best. If it were really just on my own, I'm afraid I would have died like this long ago."
Several people gathered the evidence, and then the trial will continue.
"Sanlang, the matter in Yunzhou will probably be settled in a few days. You go back to Gaoyang County first, just in time to send a message to Guabao on my behalf, asking them to pack their bags early. Now that we have the emperor's orders, we must not dare to go to Gaoyang County. Delayed.”
