In addition, Huangfu Jie deliberately concealed it and did not mention the dangers and difficulties at the time. He only exaggerated the dangers of explosives. After hearing this, the emperor regarded it as an ordinary Jianghu organization and wanted to come to Beijing to plot evil.
The emperor also ordered that the security of the capital be fully entrusted to Huangfu Jie, requiring strict management of the martial arts practitioners in Beijing, and that the behavior of martial arts practitioners in various places should be regulated to prevent them from forming cliques in private to fight against the imperial court.
In the following days, Su Mo continued to ask Hanako and others to secretly monitor all public courtyards, brothels and other places. They found that the man in white seemed to have evaporated and almost disappeared in the capital.
Shopkeeper Jin didn't look out of the ordinary. He even complained that his house in Hehuafang was occupied by soldiers and didn't know what was going on.
On the second day after the fire broke out, Huangfu Jie led his men to arrest him, but he still complained that he was wronged.
Shopkeeper Jin swore that he just rented an outer room, hired a couple of housekeepers, and two maids to live in the house, and there was no one else at all.
Then he also found witnesses and physical evidence, including a bank clerk who helped him arrange the deal, as well as house deeds, marriage documents, etc.
Huangfu Jie didn't care about him. No outer room was found in the house, but there were many traps, which almost killed him.
He directly ordered that Shopkeeper Jin and his two cronies be arrested and imprisoned first. Then, under Su Mo's instruction, he took people to the bank to search through Shopkeeper Jin's room and personal belongings.
This time, a lot of fishy things were uncovered, and a few unidentified gangsters were even caught working as bodyguards, but there was no evidence that they belonged to the Shen family.
It's possible that it was Shopkeeper Jin's own private dealings.
Su Mo sent a letter to the manager of the Shen family, and soon there was a reply. It was a letter written by Mr. Shen himself, apologizing to Su Mo and thanking Su Mo.
He said that he had long felt that Shopkeeper Jin was a bit evil. He had only contributed to the Shen family for many years and he was embarrassed to deal with it, so he specially asked the chief manager to send him to Beijing.
Without the surveillance of the Shen family, he would be bolder and embezzle more money. In Su Mo's eyes, she would not sit idly by.
I just didn't expect Shopkeeper Jin to be so courageous. In addition to embezzling money from the bank, he would also form a small gang. Since the court intervened, everything was decided by the court, and the Shen family would not interfere.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Jin only took money from the Shen family, and with Shopkeeper Min's iron abacus, he couldn't take advantage of Su Mo.
