The men from the garrison came to fight once and then left, running faster than when they came.
Who doesn't know that Qin Mansion is causing trouble now? If something bad happens when you come here, you will suffer heavy losses. If it hadn't been for the urging from the Ministry of Punishment before, and the important place in the imperial city couldn't tolerate carelessness, Lin Chong would never have made this trip.
As a result, a warrant stamped with the emperor's seal directly stopped Lin Chong's intention of watching the excitement just now. It's better to leave quickly and not watch.
However, Lin Chong also kept an eye on it. He did indeed leave the area around the Qin Mansion with half a battalion of soldiers, but he did not return to the military camp but stopped two streets away from the Qin Mansion.
If a fight breaks out, he can help protect it from too much damage, right? To avoid being accused of "malfeasance" afterwards.
"Sir, do you think those Xuanqing Guards and the Punishment Department will really fight?"
"I don't know. Although His Majesty's warrant is here, it stands to reason that the major case division would not dare to take action. But Xuan Qingwei has a lot of tricks, just in case...
Besides, didn't you see those Xuanqing Guard soldiers just now? These are not ordinary soldiers, they are all masters. I guess they are the guards of the governor. Those wax gun heads from the Ministry of Justice are not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth.
Let the brothers pay attention and look at the surrounding houses. If something changes, it's better to call the people inside to take shelter. As for the front, let’s not join in the fun. "
Two streets away, Lin Chong led his soldiers to make basic defenses, then sat on his horse with his arms folded and a smile on his face. Xuanqingwei and Xingbu fight? It’s interesting to think about it. Of course, it would be best for Xuan Qingwei to knock those bullies from the Criminal Department to the ground and beat them.
...
After the garrison left, the expression under Xue Gui's mask became very bad. I originally thought of using the garrison to delay time, but it was completely useless. And he saw Shen Hao taking out a copper bar. What was that copper bar? Can you make the deputy Qianhu of the garrison leave without even letting out a fart?
"Master Shen! Did you know that this is the right side of Hubei..."
Without waiting for Xue Gui to finish his question, Shen Hao directly handed over the warrant he had just shown to Lin Chong: "Let's take a look. We Xuanqing Guards all act according to orders and never mess around."
Xue Gui held back the second half of his sentence, feeling angry. He was a big figure in the Criminal Department. How had he ever been treated so rudely? But after unfolding the copper bars in his hand, he no longer knew how to vent the fire in his heart.
"This, this is..."
Shen Hao reached out and took back the copper bar from the opponent's hand without further explanation. Under the condition of unequal information, even if Xue Gui has thousands of strategies, he will be useless. It is really sad to be reduced to a flag.
Not long after he turned around and returned to the Qin Mansion, the people below came to report that Xue Gui had led most of the government servants away in a hurry, leaving only a few people standing outside and staring.
"Don't worry about them. Is everyone here?"
"Done."
"Where's Qin Yurou?"
"It has been proven that it is correct and has been locked with a plate lock and loaded into the carriage."
"Then go back to the station. Pass the trial overnight."
"It's my lord!"
Although the Xuanqing Guard's battle was large, it came and went quickly. Within an hour, everyone inside and outside the Qin family was captured and taken away like a whirlwind. At the same time, the same was true for other rooms in the Qin family, including the Jingdong ancestral land.
Returning to the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen's residence, Shen Hao was allowed to temporarily use the general torture room. According to the status of these people in the Qin family, they entered the execution room and passed the interrogation from low to high. The purpose was to obtain information in a progressive manner, so that there would be no gaps in the middle.
For example, Qin Wenhe will be temporarily detained, and he will not be interrogated until the end.
Of course, there are exceptions to this process. Some important figures in the case require emergency interrogation, such as the woman who was involved in the whole incident: Qin Yurou.
After pushing the door open, Shen Hao found a chair and sat down. He has been to Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen so many times, but this is the first time he has been to the torture chamber here.
Looking around, it was almost the same as the torture chamber in Fengri City. The only thing was that it was wider, and the torture instruments placed on the wooden racks on both sides were not much different.
Qin Yurou, who had not yet unlocked the locks tied to the stone pillar formation directly in front, was looking at him with wide eyes.
Shen Hao suddenly realized that the number of times he had participated in torture in Xuanqing Guard over the years was not even a hundred. But then he remembered that this was the first time he had watched a woman go through execution.
"Qin Yurou, we meet again. The previous time was in Licheng. You should still remember me, right?" While saying hello, he asked Shacai in the execution room to unlock the opponent's body. Qin Yurou has no cultivation level, so the imprisonment on the stone pillar array alone is enough to immobilize her whole body.
"Shen Hao, you haven't changed at all. Arresting people like this will really cause trouble for you on the summit. Or are you just worried about me and ready to eradicate the root cause?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yurou had no panic expression at all, she was very calm, and even had a sneer on her lips. It seemed that Shen Hao was determined not to do anything to her.
"Arresting people indiscriminately? No, no, no. Xuanqing Guard arrests people with a basis. You think it is random, but it is a normal behavior within Xuanqing Guard."
"Huh, just justify it. You guys are acting so recklessly, do you really think no one can deal with you? Huh, you are asking for trouble. You don't know that a disaster is coming. It's ridiculous."
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud. He was really amused by Qin Yurou's words. The killers on the side also laughed endlessly. Maybe they don't know what Shen Hao is laughing at, but if their own adults are laughing, then they have to laugh too. What does it matter if it's funny or not? Just laugh and that's it.
Shen Hao stood up suddenly, and his laughter stopped abruptly. The torture room was silent for a moment, and the few killers who laughed in agreement almost died.
"Ridiculous? Qin Yurou, you are ridiculously stupid." Shen Hao waved his hand, and the person behind him took out the rubbing of the letter Qin Xiuyuan wrote to Qin Wenhe and came forward, unfolding it in front of Qin Yurou.
"This...this is..."
"Qin Xiuyuan is indeed a fool. His heart is as high as the sky and his life is as thin as paper. He always thinks that he does things flawlessly even though he has no ability. It doesn't matter if he makes small mistakes. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, it's not difficult to rely on your Qin family to rise to the top. But. Isn't it because you are careless and careless after getting involved with our Xuan Qingwei that you don't take the wealth and lives of yourself and the whole family seriously?
If I had a brother like this, I would probably be very angry. But it’s not like you poisoned your own brother to silence him, right? Can you sleep with such a cruel heart? "
Qin Yurou: "..."
"Haha, you didn't expect that your idiot brother is so sensitive, right? Although there are some discrepancies in what is written in this letter, according to our investigation, it is not much different."
"That's nonsense!"
"Really? Chen Youwen, this name should be familiar to you, right?"
