After listening to Su Yuanjing's words, Zhao Ji also felt that what he said made sense.
Just when he was about to order someone to investigate the matter carefully, he didn't expect that the Taiwei Gao Qiu walked out from among the officials and came to Su Yuanjing's side.
"Qi Guanjia, what Taiwei Su said is not entirely true."
"Some people are born to be thieves, regardless of their origins."
"As far as I know, Qin Ming, the former commander of Qingzhou's military and horse capital, known as Thunderbolt Fire, and his apprentice Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin, took refuge in Qingfeng Mountain the year before last."
"Their official positions are quite high, and they are highly used by officials."
"But then, what did they do?
Isn’t it the same as betraying the imperial court?”
"Let me tell you, this may not be false."
"Perhaps that Li Jie is from the same group as Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and he is born to be a thief."
Although Su Yuanjing was very anxious about Gao Qiu's rebuttal, he could not think of any point of view to refute him.
I could only sit there with an anxious face and sighed secretly.
And just now, Zhao Ji, who had already made up his mind, after Gao Qiu's words, his previous decision was even slightly loosened.
He couldn't help but frown, his face turning purple.
"What Gao Aiqing said is true. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other."
"If that Li Jie only wants to be a thief, if he hides it very secretly, it will be absolutely difficult for outsiders to discover it."
"Maybe the letter Kong Lao Aiqing received last night was an urgent notice to Li Jie."
"However, due to the negligence of the person who sent the letter, the letter was mistakenly delivered to Kong Lao Aiqing."
"If this were not the case, it would be impossible for me and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to know the ins and outs of the whole matter."
Originally, those colleagues from the Ministry of Industry wanted to speak and plead for Li Jie.
However, when they heard what was written in the letter, if they, the people from the Ministry of Works, did not follow Li Jie to Qingfeng Mountain, they would all be poisoned to death.
Suddenly, the desire to intercede for Li Jie suddenly cooled down.
After all, this concerns their interests and life and death.
Therefore, they have to be cautious when making decisions.
If by that time, they were inexplicably involved in this case, then they, the officials of the Ministry of Industry, would be on the verge of tears.
In the end, the final result discussed in the court was that the governor of Kaifeng would first send people to control Li Jie and Li Jie's family tonight.
Then, they were taken to the Kaifeng Mansion Prison for careful interrogation.
Once it is confirmed that Li Jie's family is secretly colluding with the Qingfeng Mountain strongmen and waiting for opportunities to rebel, then they will all be executed.
That afternoon.
Li Jie, who had been busy for most of the day, returned home dragging his tired body.
As soon as he closed the door, a group of suspicious people appeared outside his government office.
These people all dress up as ordinary people, but their eyes are always shining with a fierce light.
The leader was very tall, fair-skinned, and had two small mustaches under his nose.
On his waist, there is also a long-edged dagger hidden very secretly.
This person is none other than Zhang Heng, who is under Song Jiang's command and is very willing to ask others if they like eating flat noodles.
With Zhang Heng's wave of his hand, the dozens of minions who followed him scattered around Li Jie's mansion and hid themselves.
Just after dinner time, the sky became dark.
Zhang Heng, who was lurking on the side of the gate, was waiting anxiously.
One of the minions he had sent out earlier came to Zhang Heng with an excited look on his face.
In a low and inaudible voice, he said to Zhang Hengdao:
"Brother, that group of people has already come this way."
"I guess we'll be there in another quarter of an hour."
After Zhang Heng heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, he ordered the minions to call over the dozens of minions lurking around Li Jie's mansion.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhang Heng gently knocked on the door of Li Jie's house with his hand several times.
After a while, a man dressed as a writer came out and opened the door.
When he saw dozens of strong-looking men standing outside the door, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him.
Zhang Heng's movements were extremely fast. Before the servant could recover, he rushed to the door and blocked it.
Then, he asked the servant with a smile on his face:
"Little brother, where are your adults?"
The servant, looking at Zhang Heng's malicious smile, was suddenly shocked and turned pale.
"I, my, my lord, my lord is having dinner."
After hearing this, Zhang Heng nodded slowly, the smile on his face not diminishing.
Then he stretched out his hand and patted the servant twice gently on the shoulder.
"You don't have to be afraid, we are all friends of your family."
"Let's go in now and talk to your adults. You have to close the door, do you hear me?"
After saying that, he laughed, led the dozens of minions behind him, and broke into Li Jie's mansion.
The messy noise at the gate also confused Li Jie, who had just had dinner.
So I couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that some colleague from the Ministry of Industry came to see me?
Or maybe they were sent by officials to speed up the construction period?
With all kinds of questions in his mind, Li Jie walked out of the hall.
Then, they saw Zhang Heng and others.
Li Jie raised his eyebrows, and then quickly searched for the images of these people in his mind.
However, even if he thought about it for a long time, he couldn't remember who these people were.
When Li Jie was secretly wondering, Zhang Heng came to Li Jie with a smile and gave him a casual fist pump.
"This man with a handsome face and extraordinary arrogance must be Mr. Li Jieli, the Minister of Industry, right?"
Li Jie nodded with astonishment on his face.
"Exactly, I wonder why you and your group came to my mansion?"
Before Zhang Heng came here, the wise man Wu Yong had told him several times.
They must wait until the other party confirms their identity before they can take action.
Otherwise, if they had spent so much effort and only found out that they had arrested the wrong person after arresting the person in Qingfeng Mountain, their efforts would have been in vain.
At this moment, since the other party has personally admitted it, the big stone that has been hanging in Zhang Heng's heart has finally fallen to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand behind him, and dozens of sturdy minions rushed into the hall like wolves and tigers, searching towards the inner room.
Such an action immediately startled Li Jie.
At that time, he wanted to run back into the hall and see what those people were doing.
