"boom!"
The door to the room was pushed open rudely, and Shi Wen ran in with excitement on his face.
As he ran, he shouted: "Sir, I asked you all the questions. I asked you all."
Chen Kan stood up quickly.
Before Chen Kan could ask, Shi Wen said like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Those two are indeed members of the White Lotus Sect, and the women who were killed were prisoners of the Jiaofang Division. They were all led by a man named Hong from the Jiaofang Division. The ambassador brought it to Fuller House."
"Shi Wen listened to the order and went to the Jiaofang Division to capture all the officials and actors."
A ferocious look flashed across Chen Kan's eyes.
He concluded that under the encirclement and interception of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, Fozi could not kill all the White Lotus believers in the Jiaofang Division in such a short period of time.
After giving instructions to Shi Wen, he walked out of the room. After gathering his men, he ordered: "Fang Xu, take someone with me to get the Jiaofang Secretary Ambassador named Hong."
"Got the order!"
The ambassador of Jiaofangsi is also the official official position of the imperial court.
Although officials of the ninth rank are not so conspicuous in places like the capital where officials of the third and fourth ranks are everywhere, to ordinary people, they are still high-ranking officials.
Ambassador Hong could not afford to live in such an expensive area in Nancheng, but he still bought a small three-bedroom courtyard in the west of the city.
The captains of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division drew their swords from their sheaths and quickly surrounded the small courtyard.
The porter looked at the murderous Feiyu uniformed captains with a horrified look on his face.
"Master, what's going on?"
Chen Kan kicked the concierge aside and ordered: "Break down the door and anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death."
The siege wood carried by six captains in Feiyu uniform hit the gate of the small courtyard heavily.
The wooden door, which was not very strong, shattered and was instantly smashed into a pile of sawdust.
"Who dares to break into an official's residence without permission and want to rebel?"
Hong Kui was teasing his youngest son who had just turned one year old in the living room when he suddenly heard the sound of banging on the door and hurried out of the main hall.
Then he saw countless captains in Feiyu uniforms breaking into the door.
He couldn't help but his vision went dark, and he was shocked and angry. He shouted loudly: "Stop, I am Hong Kui, the ambassador of the Jiaofang Department. You dare to break into a private house in such a bright and clear world. You are not afraid of Wang Fa." Sanctions?"
"Take it!"
Chen Kan's eyes instantly turned red as soon as he heard Hong Kui introduce himself to his family.
After Chen Kan gave the order, Hong Kui was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.
Chen Kan gave the order again: "Take Hong Kui's family to prison."
"Wait a minute, my lord, when did I offend you? I am willing to take the blame, but the harm will not harm my family, so please show me your noble hand."
Hearing this, Hong Kui panicked and struggled vigorously.
Was he trying to kill everyone or something like that? When had he offended such a big boss?
But Chen Kan was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense about not bringing harm to his family.
At this moment, he remembered that he had a family. When he brutally killed those young girls, why didn't he remember that he also had a family?
"Don't move, be honest!"
Fang Xu kicked him in the stomach, and Hong Kui knelt down on the ground.
"Are you Mr. Chen from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?"
Hong Kui endured the pain and turned to look at Chen Kan, whose eyes were red.
He couldn't remember when he had offended Chen Kan, and he couldn't think of any irresolvable hatred between Chen Kan and him.
Chen Kan ignored him and just watched silently as the captains under his command arrested Hong Kui's family members one by one like wolves and tigers.
The small courtyard was soon filled with loud cries.
When one of the school lieutenants took out a one-year-old child, Hong Kui's eyes suddenly split open and he shouted sternly: "Chen Kan, if you have the ability, just come at me. What kind of ability does it have to bully old women and children?"
Chen Kan came to Hong Kui and met Hong Kui's eyes full of hatred and anger.
He said calmly: "Don't worry, no one in your family can escape. You said you won't be a good court official and insist on being a lackey of the White Lotus Sect. Are you fucking crazy?"
"What, how did you know?"
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Hong Kui's face suddenly turned pale.
"How did you know?"
Hong Kui's brain shut down. He felt that what he did was secret enough. Apart from taking people to Fule Yuan, he didn't leave any traces.
What's more, he is an official of the Jiaofang Division, so it is reasonable to take a woman to Fule Yuan.
Soon, a look of despair appeared on his face.
Looking at Hong Kui's expression, Chen Kan felt a little relieved. It seemed that he didn't know that Fule Yuan had been captured by him.
In this way, it seems that the White Lotus Sect's intelligence network is not as powerful as I imagined.
"Sir, all thirty-one members of the Hong family have been arrested and brought to justice!"
Fang Xu reported the number to Chen Kan, and Chen Kan got on his horse without hesitation.
In the past, Chen Kan always felt that the punishment of implicating the nine tribes was very anti-human, and such cruel punishments should not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
Why would nine tribes be executed for one person's rebellion? Why should the nine tribes be led into the abyss by one person's choice?
But when he saw Hong Kui's concubines and concubines wearing gold and silver, he suddenly understood the meaning of this punishment.
I also suddenly understood the true meaning of the first lesson I took in the Imperial College, "The Analects of Confucius: Township Party Chapter".
Once a person decides to do something, there are no innocent people in the true sense of the Nine Clans. Since they want to enjoy the benefits of one person achieving enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, they should also bear the consequences of falling into the Nine Nether Hells.
For people like Hong Kui, killing his nine tribes not only does not harm his moral character, but is doing justice for heaven.
When Chen Kan took Hong Kui and his family back to the Nancheng Military and Horse Division, hundreds of people from the Jiaofang Division, ranging from officials to prostitutes and actors, were also taken to prison by Shi Wen.
To really interrogate the prisoner, Xu Yuan, an expert, must take action.
He took his old brothers from Jinyiwei, divided them into dozens of groups, and began to torture and extort confessions from those arrested.
Chen Kan was standing guard outside the prison. He didn't plan to go home today.
Everyone knew that many of those arrested were innocent, but Chen Kan had no choice now.
He must not let another fish slip through the net.
The Nancheng Bingma Si Yamen was illuminated by countless torches as if it were daytime, and the screams in the prison did not stop that night.
It wasn't until a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon that Xu Yuan rocked his wheelchair out of the prison with a tired look on his face.
He handed Chen Kan the compiled confessions one by one.
He said with emotion: "I am getting old and my energy is not as good as before. I have just interrogated the prisoner for a night, and my body is a little overwhelmed. I have to go and squint for a while. Sir, please help yourself."
