Tie Qiu was very powerful, and there were also policemen to help him. There was no way the young man could escape. Even though he yelled and screamed, he was still dragged into the Yamen like a chicken.

Yue Su did not interrogate him immediately, but first called Zhang Wei and Wang Shun for questioning.

"Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, it is reported that you two went to Puci Temple with two women from the Chen family today?"

"Sir, this is indeed the case." Zhang Wei replied.

"What did these two women do in Puci Temple?"

"In addition to burning incense and worshiping Buddha, we also went to interpret fortune-telling and ask for divination," Zhang Wei said.

"Unlocking the lotus?" Yue Su remembered Zhu'er saying that Mu Tianjiao also went to untie the lotus today and said that he drew one and signed it. So he asked: "When these two women were unwrapping the lotus, there were people beside them.

Will someone else interpret the signature?"

"This..." Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said: "It seems so. I remember that there was a group of people in front of them. The leader was a woman, followed by a maid and four followers. Look.

His posture doesn’t seem like he’s waiting for others.”

"That's right!" Yue Su suddenly stood up from the chair and said, "Do you two remember the appearance of the leading woman and the maid?"

"We didn't dare to get too close at the time. We just remembered that the woman seemed to be wearing a black dress, and the maid seemed to be wearing a green dress...Wang Shun, in your impression, do they look like this?" Zhang

Wei said, looking at Wang Shun beside him.

Wang Shun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems to be this color."

Yue Su clearly remembered that when he went to the princess's mansion today, Mu Tianjiao was wearing a black dress and Zhu'er was wearing a green dress. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It must be right. He immediately said: "Follow me.

Go into the back hall and interrogate that guy."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Wei and Wang Shun responded. Zhang Wei was very smart, and he could tell in his words that the young man who had just been captured was of great importance, so he added, "Sir, the young man who was just captured, the young man, is very important."

I saw him this morning. He hurriedly ran into the Chen Mansion from outside, and soon the two women came out. He didn't follow them out at that time. When the women came back to the house, they were almost at the door he left at Mao Shi.

I went to the tavern to have a drink and then hurried to the princess's mansion. I happened to see the servants of the princess's mansion running out. He asked some passers-by and chased him to the mansion."

"Well, it seems that this guy is from the Chen family who went out to inquire for information." Yue Su hummed softly, walked into the back hall, took a seat in the hall, and asked someone to bring the young man to the hall.

Tie Qiu kicked the young man to the ground. When the young man saw Yue Su, he knew he was the prefect, so he hurriedly shouted: "The common people have been wronged. Please make the decision, sir."

Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "Whose name do you have? Why are you wronged?"

"The villain's name is Zhao Jiu. He was just watching the excitement outside, but he was taken into the government office for no apparent reason. I hope the elder will be merciful and let him go." When the young man said this, he could even cry.

"So you came here to watch the excitement. It's already midnight. Why are you not sleeping at home? Why did you come out to see the excitement?" Yue Su asked majestically.

"I'm just curious. I saw a lot of people gathered outside the magistrate's office. I thought some case was going on, so I came over to take a look."

"Where do you live? Is the prefect's office very close to your home?"

"Little man... I live in Shizi Hutong. After dinner in the evening, I went out for a walk. I accidentally transferred to the prefect's Yamen."

Lion Alley is on Zhifu Yamen North Street. Yue Su is in charge of Tongren, and he has seen the map of the city. After hearing this answer, Yue Su sneered and said: "The people in this government saw with their own eyes that you came out of Chen's house on Guangyang Street.

Yes, you came to the princess's mansion first, and then to my mansion. You are really brave. You dare to deceive me in court. Come here, slap twenty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a police officer immediately came forward, took out the punishment card, and slapped Zhao Jiu on the mouth. Zhao Jiu was stunned now. He didn't expect that his whereabouts were known to everyone in the Yamen.

What should we do?

Before he could think of a countermeasure, Twenty had already been slapped in the mouth, leaving his mouth full of blood and his lips in tatters.

Yue Su asked again: "I want to ask you, first go to the princess's mansion to look around, and then come here to find out, what is your intention? What news do you want to find out? I advise you to recruit people quickly, otherwise I will call you

The flesh suffers!”

"Villain..." Zhao Jiuyi really didn't know how to answer. He hesitated and couldn't say a word. The first lie was exposed, and he even suspected that his whereabouts had been completely grasped. What if he said the wrong thing again?

, what awaits me must not be a severe punishment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue Su shouted angrily and said: "Bold Zhao Jiu, I have also seen it. If you don't need punishment, I understand that it will be difficult for you to tell the truth. Prepare a chain of fire!"

"yes!"

My lord, the fire chain has been used very frequently recently. The guards did not even put the fire chain in storage, but placed it in a corner outside the back hall. They went out to light the charcoal stove and started to barbecue.

Yue Su sat in the hall and stopped asking questions. He just stared at Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu felt frightened by being stared at and simply lowered his head. Yue Su suddenly remembered something and said: "Tong Zhou, what I just told you

, leave it to Jin Chan for the time being, there will be important tasks assigned to you later. Jin Chan, take people to Yin Zhu now and tell him to strengthen the monitoring of the Chen Mansion. Anyone who comes in or out will be captured on the spot. No one is allowed.

Go away."

"My subordinates understand." Jin Chan accepted the order and led people to leave the government office and go to the Chen Mansion for reinforcements.

Zhao Jiu below was even more dumbfounded when he heard Yue Su's arrangement. He was in a state of confusion. He thought that even if he didn't say anything, others would do it, so why would he feel uncomfortable and suffer more torture?

"Sir, I am willing to recruit you."

"You know the truth, tell me quickly." Yue Su shouted.

"The little one is from Guangdong. He was originally a soldier under General Chen. Because he was quite clever in doing things, he was accepted as a personal soldier by General Chen. Later, General Chen resigned and returned to his hometown, and the little man followed him to Tongren. General Chen sent me

Going to the princess's mansion is actually... to find out if the princess is dead..."

"Bang!" Yue Su knocked on the gavel tree and said loudly: "How brave! I ask you again, how did you know that the princess was poisoned? Did Chen Weihan send someone to poison her?"

"This villain really doesn't know. I'm just responsible for running errands and asking for information. A few days ago, General Chen asked me to go to the princess's mansion to keep an eye on the princess to see where she would go when she leaves. This morning, I learned that the princess was going

After offering incense at Puci Temple, he immediately returned home to report the matter. The general praised me a few words and asked me to go down to rest. In the evening, he asked me to inquire whether the princess was dead." Zhao Jiu told the truth.

"Then did you see two women acting suspiciously in the house?"

"No." Zhao Jiu shook his head hastily.

"When Jun Ma and the former prefect died, did they also send people to inquire about the news?"

"Yes." One thing has been done, but the same applies to the other things. It would be better to tell the truth honestly, or maybe be treated leniently.

"Have you ever been to Tongjue Ge Yong's mansion?"

"That's not true. I haven't heard of any relationship between the general and Lord Tongpan."

"Do you know that Chen Weihan sent people to rob and kill Fang Qi, the chieftain of Fangzhai?"

"I haven't heard of this villain either." Zhao Jiu shook his head again.

"Then what else do you know?"

"This is all I know. There are many things that even the young masters in the house, not to mention me, don't know. Those who know more are the housekeeper Chen Ran and the general himself. "

"Detain him first and keep him under strict supervision." For Yue Su, knowing these is enough. For other matters, it is enough to torture Chen Weihan. Under severe punishment, I am afraid that you will not recruit him. Yue Su immediately ordered, "Tong Zhou , you now take my token to the garrison yamen, and order garrison Niu Gan to immediately send troops to capture Chen Weihan, and no one is allowed to leave. In addition, the house is sealed and people are sent to surround it to prevent fish from slipping through the net. Bring another group. Yamen servant, keep an eye on me carefully to prevent the soldiers guarding the Yamen from getting unclean."

"I obey my orders!"

Tong Zhou received the token, took the yamen servants, and quickly went to the garrison yamen. Within the city, the magistrate was the largest, and he controlled the troops and horses guarding the yamen. Yue Su was also careful, because there were actually many yamen in the yamen, there could be two to three hundred Number, plus the officers of the Qing Military Department, there are less than 500 people anyway. However, the sky is dark, the officers have been assigned, and they cannot assemble now. What if Chen Weihan sees that Zhao Jiu has not returned, is worried about something, and absconds in fear of crime. .After all, this guy has served as a guerrilla general, and it is inevitable that he has private armed forces at home. With the current manpower, it may not be possible to stop him.

Tong Zhou rushed to the garrison yamen with the card. Niu Gan did not dare to neglect to receive the card. He also knew that it was a big case and was afraid of delaying his participation. He immediately gathered five hundred sergeants and went to Chen's house to collect people.

Fifty soldiers were sent to block the side gate of the Chen Mansion. The main force entered from the main gate and arrested everyone they saw. The Chen Mansion family thought there was a thief, but when they heard that it was the guards from the Yamen who came to arrest people, everyone was confused. They really couldn't help it. They understand what happened. But they don’t need to understand that with so many officers and soldiers, who dares to stop them? They squat down in Baotou, waiting to be captured. Many of these officers and soldiers are soldiers, and they like this kind of looting. People's deeds, even though the guards were watching, still got a lot of odds and ends from it. In fact, those guards were not vegetarians. If they got the opportunity, of course they could get some money for running errands. No one dared to touch anything that was not too big.

There were more than 150 men, women, children, maids and servants in the Chen family. They were all captured. Some of them tried to escape through the back door, but were captured by the soldiers blocking them there. In less than half an hour, the whole house was captured. Capture. Tong Zhou was worried that he might be caught, so he led his men to search back and forth carefully, and then he was relieved. He asked Yin Zhu, Jin Chan and the servants to cooperate with the two hundred people guarding the Yamen to surround the Chen Mansion to prevent There was a mistake. He and Niu Gan led the soldiers to escort the Chen family members back to the Yamen.

Along the way, the female relatives of the Chen family inevitably cried and cried, and the neighbors were all awakened. They didn't know what had happened, but when they saw so many officers and soldiers taking people, no one dared to say a word.
