Chapter 2559 The evidence is conclusive!

Chapter 2559 The evidence is conclusive!

Shen Huizhao was trying a case in the city when suddenly two strangers rushed over and shouted anxiously, "Sir Shen! There are robbers in Yanyue Temple. Your wife and the old lady are in danger. Go and save them."

After Shen Huizhao became an official, he often encountered assassinations, using various means. He was not so easily fooled, so after listening to it, he asked solemnly, "Who are you? How do you know?"

Seeing that Shen Huizhao didn't believe it, the man hurriedly said, "Sir, I was originally going to deliver some wood to Yanyue Temple, but I didn't expect there were thieves inside. When I came down to report to the authorities, I found that your Shen family's convoy had gone up the mountain.

I wanted to stop them, but I saw the robbers coming out, so I didn't dare to say anything and hurried over to inform the adults. "

Shen Huizhao didn't believe a word of these words, but he guessed that his wife and the lady might really be in danger.

Therefore, he did not try to explain it, but said to the yamen runner beside him, "You keep an eye on him, and the others, come with me to Yanyue Temple."

Several constables and yamen runners quickly split up and soon got on their horses and headed towards the city gate.

On the way to Yanyue Temple, they did not encounter any danger at all. Until they met Haode Leshan and his group, they did not even see any ambushers.

Shen Huizhao felt relieved after seeing his relatives. He quickly dismounted and came to the carriage. After bowing to the lady and aunt, he asked how they were. Then he said, "Grandmother, aunt, and wife, are you all right? I heard that you were in danger."

Le Shan had no way to answer, and immediately said, "Brother-in-law, you should thank me. If I hadn't brought people to rescue them in time, your good daughter-in-law, your aunt, and the old lady would have been killed."

After hearing what Le Shan said, Shen Huizhao was a little confused. There was obviously no danger, so why did Le Shan say that?

So, he asked uncertainly, "Fifth sister, what does this mean? Are you really in danger?"

Le Shan knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just waved his hand and said, "Xiao Qi, bring the person over to Lord Shen, and leave the rest to him."

After hearing this, a female guard led a carriage from behind and slowly drove towards Shen Huizhao.

After Shen Huizhao saw the carriage stop in front of him, the girl named Xiaoqi lifted the curtain. Only then did he see several people tied up inside, all pressed there like a pyramid.

Shen Huizhao knew that these people were a group of gangsters by looking at their attire and their well-defined muscles. He excitedly asked for details. When he learned that it was Le Shan who judged in advance that Xue Gong was going to harm him and sent people to rescue him, he still didn't believe it in his heart. Or he really believed it but still wanted evidence.

So, he looked at Le Shan seriously and asked, "Fifth sister, my mentor is an official after all. If you falsely accuse him, you may be punished, so you'd better have evidence."

"You are such an ungrateful person. Would you say that if we had no evidence?"

Before Le Shan could answer the question, a person suddenly fell from the tree. That person was dressed in white. Who else could it be but Bai Yuting?

After seeing Bai Yutang, Le Shan didn't pay much attention to Shen Huizhao. Instead, he quickly asked, "Jinmaoshu, did you catch the other group of thieves?"

Jinmaoshu bowed to Leshan, then said seriously, "Of course, how could I not catch him?"

He whistled when he said this, and then a group of guards came out of the woods, each of them holding a man in black.

And those men in black were obviously still alive, they were tied up so tightly that they couldn't struggle.

When Le Shan saw these people being captured, he said to Shen Huizhao, "Brother-in-law, look, there are people here preparing to ambush you. If Jinmaoshu hadn't come here and captured them in advance, they would have been able to knock you all down with those half-horse locks. Then you, the fourth brother-in-law, would be in trouble, hum!"

When Bai Yuting heard Le Shan say this, he waved his hand, and a few guards from the academy came running over with two lassoes.

After the guards threw the tripwire to the ground, he smiled and said, "Second Senior Sister's guess was right. They actually did it."

When Shen Huizhao saw this scene, he knew that Bai Yutang was not lying. He had to accept this fact and asked in great sorrow, "Was it brought by these men in black? So, their target is really me!"

Seeing that Shen Huizhao finally believed it, Bai Yutang nodded and said, "Sir, you should take these people back for a thorough interrogation. I think the murderer behind the scenes will definitely be found. After all, there are so many survivors, there is no point in them hiding it."

Shen Huizhao was still somewhat reluctant to accept this fact, so he nodded without saying much. After saying hello to his grandmother and aunt, he took the yamen runners and took all these people away.

Of course, because they had fewer people, they could only string these prisoners together and slowly bring them back. As for why they didn't go with Leshan Bai Yutang, it was because they were afraid that so many prisoners would arouse people's imagination on the road and bring bad rumors to the women of the Li and Shen families.

In fact, Shen Huizhao's worries were not unnecessary. Before they arrived in the capital, someone spread the news that Shen Huizhao, the iron-faced devil, was stabbed when he went out and caught a bunch of robbers, which attracted a lot of people to watch.

After hearing the news, not only the Kaifeng government office, but also the officials of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were alarmed. They all came to the Kaifeng government office, waiting for Shen Huizhao, including Shen Huizhao's teacher Xue Guang.

When Shen Huizhao arrived, he started to try the case without hesitation.

However, when Shen Huizhao saw his teacher, he felt that this trial might be troublesome again, because facing Xue Guang's threats, these people must think that they are going to die anyway and will not say anything.

What Shen Huizhao didn't expect was that he encountered the same situation as last time with the Li family. These people directly gave Xue Guang away, and even revealed how Xue Guang trained these assassins and contacted the bandits.

In fact, all these processes were investigated by Le Shan when he used the guards of the academy to track the Xue family, and then Wang Yue used the body-control talisman to explain all these things in public, which can be regarded as a kind of evidence.

Xue Guang was originally very angry at these people for not avenging his son, but now he heard that these people actually disregarded the safety of their family and really gave him away, he felt very angry.

So he immediately shouted loudly, "This is slander, this is blatant slander!"

The Dali Temple official looked at the blood coldly, then interrupted and said, "Xue Guang, don't worry. Whether it is slander or not, you will know it after the yamen runners go to the places mentioned by this person. But you can only stay here now and can't go anywhere else."

After Xue Guang heard this, anger filled his eyes. He knew that he was finished. The Dali Temple Chief Justice was his superior, and even if there was no case, he had no way to leave.

However, he did not expect that he would be arrested before he could even take action after planning for revenge. He knew very well that the place where these people confessed was the place where he trained them, so he could not escape this time.

So Xue Guang turned his gaze to Jiao Du, the new chief constable of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Jiao Du understood the look in Xue Guang's eyes, which meant he wanted him to kill Shen Huizhao. However, Jiao Du felt that Shen Huizhao's life was not as important as Xue Guang's. So, when he was escorting Xue Guang to the jail, he suddenly attacked the bailiffs around him.

When Xue Guang saw that several yamen runners were dead, he said angrily, "Jiao Du, how could you not obey my orders? There is no point in you doing this. I can't escape."

Jiao Du said righteously, "Sir, you have been so kind to me, how can I watch you die? Let's escape from Kaifeng Prefecture now while no one finds us. As long as we are out of the city, I will protect you and nothing will happen to you."

Xue Guang couldn't blame Jiao Du anymore after seeing what he said. Now that things had come to this, he decided to escape first.

What Xue Guang didn't expect was that when Jiao Du fled to the street outside the government office, he saw three young men blocking the way. The leading young man shook the sword in his hand and smiled, saying, "Master Xue, where are you going to escape to?"

These three people are of course the Golden-Haired Mouse Bai Yutang and Lu Fang and Han Zhang.

When Jiao Du followed Shen Huizhao to Yanyue Temple for the rescue, he saw Bai Yuting on the way. He didn't know the background of this young man and was worried that he would be caught by the pursuers if a fight broke out, so he turned around and walked back.

As a result, when he turned around, he found a woman standing at the other end of the alley. The woman was dressed in a heroic manner, with a sword in her hand against her chest. Although she did not say anything, she looked at them with contempt.

Of course, this woman is Zhao Jian.

Bai Yutang saw that Zhao Jian had already blocked another intersection, so he smiled and said, "Senior Sister, do you think this person will go to your side or our side?"

Zhao Jian didn't participate in gambling at all. She just said helplessly, "I guess the two of them can't go anywhere."

After hearing this, Bai Yuting was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and looked towards the wall. He found that Le Shan was standing on the wall without him noticing, and the white powder in his hand had been scattered.

When Jiao Du heard Bai Yuting's reminder, he looked up quickly, only to see a vast expanse of white and could not see anything clearly. He shouted "despicable" and before he could dodge, he only had time to close his eyes and then fainted on the ground.
