1298. Chapter 1298 The heavy counterattack to the Liu family [18]
From the first time someone asked him to harass some families and kidnap children, to the last time he was asked to go to the prime minister's house to rob, he told them all.
But he insisted that he did not enter the Prime Minister's Mansion because someone had already gone there, so he took the people and left.
After reading his confession, everyone fell into deep thought.
This shows that there is another group of people who came to cause trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the bandit eldest sister Cuizhuyuan that everyone heard about before, but was repelled by Miss Shen and her men.
Cuizhuyuan also arrested some people. According to confessions, they were a man named Lu Li and another man named Tan Laosi. These two groups of people were not the same group.
But Lu Li and Tan Laosi had been forced by Xiao Xian to jump off a cliff and die, and their accomplices had also fled in all directions, unable to be captured.
This means that there is no way to interrogate.
Some people even think that Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian's move was unwise, because it would be better to arrest those two people and hand them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation and conclusion of the case.
Now that they kill people themselves, they will inevitably be accused of murder and silenced by those who are interested.
But Xiao Xian never regrets what he does, and he also let it out in the first place, using Lu Li and Tan Laosi as rafts to let go of his protection for Shen Mingzhu.
If anyone wants to hurt Shen Mingzhu, then Xiao Xian will definitely seek revenge from all corners of the world.
But news also came out that Lu Li and Tan Laosi were said to have been recruited by the Shen family's insiders.
The thieves were Shen Mingsong, who was on the run in fear of crime, and a group of girls that Mrs. Liu had previously ordered to buy from Ren Yazi.
There is no way to verify where these messages come from, and whether they are true or not, and no evidence has been provided, but since they are said so, they must be groundless and well-founded.
It's definitely not something that comes out of nowhere.
Maybe the group of people who attacked Shen Mingzhu were bought by Mrs. Liu, and Shi Gan was bought by Shen Mingzhu?
Some people began to speculate on their own, and various theories came out one after another, but no one outside knew what the exact news was.
Lu Li's matter cannot be traced, but Shi Gandang is still alive. He has provided useful clues, so the Ministry of Punishment must naturally treat it with caution.
First, they drew the Zhao Da who contacted Shi Gandang. At first, they doubted whether this Zhao Da and the Zhao Da who contacted Tan Laosi were the same.
Once the portraits come out, they will be able to count them.
However, after a few days, they could not find out who Zhao Da was, and the clues Shi Gandang could provide were limited, including his appearance, accent, height, where he lived, and what he was doing.
If Shen Mingzhu hadn't had someone follow him intentionally, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to find Chen Da's whereabouts.
At this time, Xiao Xian has arrived in the capital. How dare the Punishment Department not work hard?
Even if you are not sure, you should do it as if it is a sure thing.
Within a day, they plastered "Zhao Da"'s portrait all over the city and offered rewards to anyone who provided clues.
Soon, several charcoal-burning farmers provided clues. They had encountered a family outside the Xicheng Gate. A man looked like this, and he was accompanied by a pregnant woman and four children.
They seemed to be going on a long trip, but the man's name was not Zhao Da, but Chen Da.
The Ministry of Punishment immediately sent people to find Chen Da and his family and children. Unfortunately, the news they received was that a carriage fell off a cliff a few days ago...
