The wind lights in the yard were lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

Gu Mingzhu stood on the roof and watched the yamen below walk around. This angle could see everything below clearly.

When the Zhao family found the key in the store, they naturally had to come to ask the Zhao family. After seeing the key, the Zhao family manager showed a look of surprise on his face. Although he immediately denied that it was not something from the Zhao family, the clues had been revealed.

Gu Mingzhu looked down at Lord Wei. Chujiu moved the chair. Lord Wei sat on it very happily. Gu Mingzhu felt a little itchy when she saw itchy and couldn't help but move her fast boots.

Chujiu brought a cup of tea to Wei Yuanchen. Wei Yuanchen opened the cover bell, and a few fallen leaves fell from the top of his head with dust. Some of them were shaking into the tea bowl. If he hadn't always had a good look, he would have drunk this bowl of tea.

Wei Yuanchen raised his head and saw Nie Chen walking on the roof with a woman. The woman was clumsy and the pickled objects on the roof were trampled on by the fast boots on her feet.

Wei Yuanchen handed the tea bowl to Chujiu. She didn't look intentional, but as long as she thought of her playing Han Yu around looking for the "Pearl Thieves", she knew that her seemingly miserable and funny little movements were completely out of her true intentions.

Like her rabbit, it was so dark that it was not covered with hair.

The Zhao family manager stared at Lord Wei and the Yamashi, his palms were covered in cold sweat. He kept looking at the door, hoping that Zhao Gongren could come soon.

"Go a little further," Nie Chen called the yamen below, "Where is that place?"

The yamen looked at the screen wall in front of them. They passed by here several times without finding that there was a gap next to the screen wall that could allow one person to walk through.

"There is nothing there," said the Zhao family manager, "This is a screen wall, and the gap next to it is left for drainage in the yard."

Wei Yuanchen glanced at Chujiu, and Chujiu immediately walked over quickly.

Nie Chen also brought Gu Mingzhu down from the eaves.

In fact, there will always be some hidden places in the courtyards of wealthy families. If the key is still not used behind the screen wall, they may have found the wrong place.

Chujiu touched it with his hand and found a secret door behind the screen wall, with a copper lock embedded in the secret door.

Seeing this, the Zhao family manager wanted to go forward to stop him, but his shoulder was pressed by the yamen. The Zhao family manager fell to the ground with a soft foot.

Wei Yuanchen stood up and walked over. The Zhao family manager was shaking like a sieve.

Chujiu used to insert the key into it, and the copper lock was immediately opened.

"Sir, it's here." Chu Jiu's voice came.

The guard immediately lifted the light and stepped forward.

Gu Mingzhu wanted to go and see clearly with Nie Chen, but was stopped by Wei Yuanchen: "There is no need to go in so many people." After that, she strode forward and left them behind.

If you don't let it in, you won't go. Gu Mingzhu could probably guess what you could find inside. The Zhao family was so anxious that there must be something shameful inside.

Soon Wei Yuanchen walked out and held several accounts in his hand.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the account and didn't know what was recorded on it, but looking at Lord Wei's brisk strides, she should have gained a lot. Now it's time to examine people. Thinking of this, she took two steps back.

Showing his might and torture and confession are all the best shows of Lord Wei.

"Who holds the keys in this room on weekdays?" Wei Yuanchen asked the Zhao family manager.

The Zhao family manager shook his head: "I don't know... this... this..." He wanted to defend himself but couldn't continue. He said he had never seen the key before. Now the government office found the secret door and found something from it. He would not believe it even if he denied the government office.

"Take the people down and try them one by one," Wei Yuanchen said, "and seal off all the shops and houses of Zhao's family in Taiyuan Prefecture."

The yamen responded, and the people from the Zhao family immediately shouted in panic from the yard.

"Beat this manager twenty sticks first." Wei Yuanchen ordered calmly.

The yamen immediately suppressed the manager.

The killing stick fell firmly on the flesh, and the screams of the manager echoed throughout the Zhao family's courtyard.

Gu Mingzhu looked over and saw that the servants who were watching the punishment in the yard were already crying. These servants who served tea and water would not know anything even if interrogated. The key was the managers and accountants. These people could help the boss's family and naturally knew some secrets.

As long as you pry a person's mouth open, the rest will tell the truth in order to protect themselves.

Someone in the crowd looked at the door from time to time, obviously waiting for Zhao Gongren to come and relieve the situation. Every time he shouted, he couldn't help but wipe his sweat with his sleeves, as if he was the one who was going to be tortured next.

It seems that this person is very clear about his situation and status, and his mind has been defeated by Lord Wei.

Gu Mingzhu ordered Liu Su: "Pull him out."

Liu Su nodded and immediately stepped forward to grab the person. As soon as his hand landed on the man's shoulder, the man shouted: "Prime the Lord, please spare me... I don't know... I really don't know anything."

Liu Su threw the man next to the Zhao family manager. The Zhao family manager was beaten to pieces, and the hot blood flowed through his pants. The man was even more panicked when he saw it.

"Don't hit me, I..." the man shouted, looking a little crazy. He would be disabled even if he didn't die if he hit dozens of sticks.

But no one will listen to him.

The man felt his shoulders being stomped on, then he lifted his robe and fell on it with a stick.

"Ah..." He seemed to hear the sound of bone shattering.

"There are so many servants, it's okay to kill two."

A cold sound rang out, and the yamen were waving the stick even harder.

"It's the second master, and the key is worn by the second master himself," the man couldn't help but shout, "I saw the second master opening the door, and I didn't know the rest. Han and Sun managers knew better..."

Wei Yuanchen looked at the clerk: "Tell him down word by word."

The civil servant responded.

Wei Yuanchen glanced at Gu Mingzhu, leaving her here was of some use.

"Sir," Nie Chen stepped forward and said, "Zhao Gongren came from Cui's family. Do you want to ask about what happened in the inn outside the city?"

She is planning again, right? Since he wants to help, he will not refuse, Wei Yuanchen nodded.

Nie Chen quickly walked out of the Zhao family yard.

As Nie Chen left, a burst of rapid footsteps came, followed by Zhao Gongren’s voice: “What’s wrong? Why are you coming to the Zhao family yard? What are you going to do?”

The Zhao family manager suddenly became energetic and shouted loudly: "Gongren, Gongren, you are here."

Zhao Gongren, Cui Zhen, and Cui Wei entered the yard.

Seeing that there were yamen everywhere, the manager and his servants were pressed to the ground and punished, Zhao Gongren immediately said, "What crime has our family committed? Do you have any documents issued by the government when you come to your door like this?"

Gu Mingzhu glanced at Wei Yuanchen. Wherever there was this person, she still needed documents. Zhao Gongren wanted to use the government office to deal with Lord Wei, but he was afraid that it would not work.

This person will openly recognize his identity as a relative outside and make full use of it.

"King," the manager said anxiously, enduring the pain, "The government office... not only needs to investigate this yard, but also needs to seal off all the property of the Zhao family in Taiyuan Prefecture."

Zhao Gongren was shocked and immediately looked at Wei Yuanchen: "What is this Mr. Wei?" As she said that, she turned to see Cui Zhen and Cui Wei.

Cui Wei was about to step forward, but was stopped by Cui Zhen.

"Mr. Wei must have his reason to do this," Cui Zhen said, his eyes falling on Wei Yuanchen's hands, "What did Lord Wei find out?"

Wei Yuanchen did not answer Cui Zhen's words, but looked at Zhao Gongren: "What happened to Zhao Gongren when he came to Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Zhao Gongren's lips trembled slightly: "I'll visit Mrs. Lin."

"When I met Zhao Gongren in the Gu family, Zhao Gongren deceived me and said that I had just arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture, but I had been away from Taiyuan Prefecture for two days. Since I was visiting Mrs. Lin, why didn't I go to Cui's family earlier?"

Wei Yuanchen's indifferent voice made Zhao Gongren's chest jump. She was here to rescue the Zhao family and didn't want to be questioned again.

"I'm feeling uncomfortable," Zhao Gongren said, "so..."

"There is only a good doctor in the city," said Wei Yuanchen. "I asked someone to go to the inn to ask, but I didn't see the doctor going to treat Zhao Gongren."
