As soon as the front foot arrived, Tang Qingyuan asked Shen Hao to strike while the iron was hot and immediately launched an all-round surprise interrogation of the Wen family. There is currently only Zhou Guangcai who is a torture and killing expert in the Black Flag Camp. If there are not enough people, he will be transferred from the torture department of the guard station. In the afternoon, he will go to Qianhu Station to borrow people.
"I have only one request. Within three days, I want to see the Wen family clean up the smuggling of arms. This is the bottom line, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand that I will not disappoint you!" Shen Hao ordered and went down to make arrangements.
And Tang Qingyuan will not be idle. He needs to form a formal note about the current harvest and report it to Qianhu Office. Someone has been sent to urge him. They arrived last night and are now guarding the door of his mansion.
On October 13th, at the beginning of the lunar month, only half an hour after returning to Licheng, Tang Qingyuan got a note from "The First Report of the Wen Family on Baishan Mountain" and had it sent to Fengri City. He didn't know how many people's thoughts his initial report of only five pages had affected.
...
On October 15th, 117 of the 521 people who were escorted back by the Wen family, including all the slaves, died. Mikixia was too weak to survive for two days.
The entire torture of the Wen family was coordinated by Zhou Guangcai, which could be regarded as letting out all the anger he had been holding back because of the dungeon attack.
Although the process was bloody and inhumane to the Wen family, Shen Hao didn't care, let alone others. After entering the Xuanqing Guard, it's okay to be clean as long as you're clean. It's common sense that anything dirty can make your life worse than death.
Holding a thick stack of confessions with a strong smell of fishy smell, Shen Hao was very satisfied with Zhou Guangcai's efficiency, but he felt that the evil aura on the other person's body was much stronger than before, especially his eyes, which looked more and more like a sharp attack. people.
The confession was very detailed and basically laid out all the details of the Wen family's smuggling of arms.
"Twenty years ago, after the imperial dynasty surrendered the barbarian tribes, it began to recuperate and recuperate. Many of the garrisons who were temporarily recruited from the customs were dispersed and returned home, leaving a large amount of ordnance idle. Some were returned to the furnace and some were collected as reserves. got up.
It was at this time that the Wen family came into contact with ordnance. At first, they just took orders from the Ministry of Household Affairs and transported the weapons back from the border towns to be refurbished. Then they began to collude with the Guan army to privately sell these retired weapons to the subjugated barbarians in exchange for weapons produced by the barbarians. Crystal stones and various medicinal materials and equipment.
The barbarians fell into turmoil internally because they were exterminated by the Golden Horde clan. They were eager for the weapons from the imperial court. Taking them back was very costly for internal fighting, so the Wen family's smuggling business also grew. Later, the ordnance that retreated was gone, so they began to erode the Jingbei Army closest to them. They promised heavy profits, made false accounts from the Jingbei Army's munitions depot, deducted losses, and deducted ordnance reserves, and then transported them out of the pass for sale... ."
Tang Qingyuan listened to Shen Hao's introduction while reading the confession. To put it simply, the Wen family actually took advantage of the great war that took place twenty years ago. After getting a taste of the benefits, they began to act like a monster, corrupting the idle Jingbei Army while hoarding money.
It is useless for monks to bring money, but there are not too many spiritual stones. According to the confession of the master of the Yuan Dan Realm of the Wen family, in just twenty years, the Wen family's number of cultivators in the God Gathering Realm has doubled compared to twenty years ago. There are two more monks in the Yuan Dan realm.
How? Is the spiritual stone enough?
Of course not enough. The spirit stone is just a stepping stone and confidence, the most important thing is the sect.
Tianfeng Valley is the sect that is vassalized by the Wen family. In the past twenty years, the Wen family has relied on the sect's increased tribute of spiritual stones to receive a lot of guidance on cultivation and help with elixirs, and gradually improved its own strength. It is said that the great elder of the Wen family broke into the eighth level of the Yuan Dan Realm with the help of Tianfeng Valley, and is expected to achieve perfection.
This is the pursuit of monks. In the final analysis, it is all the fault of power. In order to pursue the power of the individual, the Wen family ignored the power of the group that was always around them. As a result, they fell into the abyss and were never recovered.
"With these and Wen Renhai's previous confession, it is confirmed that the smuggling of arms and the concealment of spiritual stone mines are at best just some discrepancies in the details. Well done. Let those criminals have a day off today. Keep your spirits up and start preparing to hand people over tomorrow."
"Where to transfer it to? Fengri City Qianhu Office?"
"That's right, there was a note from Qianhu Office before you came, and Mr. Jiang has already returned from the Imperial City."
"Back?! So fast!"
"Isn't it fast? Today is already fifteen. How many people are running up and down about this? If it can't be done after four or five days, it would be a joke. Well, see for yourself."
Tang Qingyuan looked happy and took a bunch of copper bars from the drawer and threw them in front of Shen Hao. There were Qianhusuo's signature on them.
"This is?"
"Open it and take a look. If you don't come here today, I will have someone pass it around to you."
After hearing this, Shen Hao picked up the copper bar and opened it. The first line of words that caught his eye caught his attention.
The note read: On the night of October 11th, the Queen celebrates her 70th birthday and there is a grand banquet at the Wanmin Hall. The Fushi Yamen of Weixi Town in the Xuanqing Dynasty ordered thousands of households from Fengri City to bring a thousand elites into the imperial city, and captured eight people including Wen Hong, the head of the Wen family, Wen Hong, the eldest elder Wen Chang, and the elder Wen Chang in Baishan Mountain. When they encountered resistance, they After killing five people including Wen Chang, Wen Hong was captured and taken to the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town for custody.
At dawn on October 12, the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town issued an order to seal the city. Two thousand Xuanqing guards from thousands of households gathered in Xinliangcheng with 50,000 Jingxi troops to form a pincer to strangle the main roads of the Jingbei army, announcing His Majesty's decree. Suppress the soldiers, and then arrest according to the roster 15 Xuanqingwei supervisors in the Jingbei army, 8 officials from 100 households, 3 officials from 1,000 households, 1 general of the rank of lieutenant, and 167 unruly people.
...
The language is actually unclear, and all that can be seen are the results. There is no mention of the process, let alone the reason why the Wen family and the Jingbei Army were arrested. At the end, it is mentioned that "the subsequent case is under investigation."
"Have you read it? This is a report passed down from the Zhenfu Shi Yamen. Only people like you and me who are specifically involved in the investigation can read it. It probably also gives us a better understanding of the course of the incident."
"Haha, sir, look at the meaning of this, we have solved a great case!"
"Hahaha, it's really amazing. You Shen Hao will definitely be able to move up half a level after this time. A hundred-household official of Xuanqing Guard who is less than thirty years old, tsk tsk, I can't even think about it."
"This subordinate is here today because of your cultivation!" Shen Hao still knew what to say. If this case was settled, not only him, but also Tang Qingyuan would definitely benefit.
After a few polite words, Shen Hao couldn't help but ask: "Sir, I was just thinking, why didn't Wen Hongdu mention Qin Yurou when he was imprisoned? She is in the imperial city now."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyuan unconsciously suppressed the smile on his face and sighed: "I guess that woman won't be caught this time."
