Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

As soon as these words were spoken, the general panicked on the spot. His knees gave way and he fell to the ground with a thud, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes: "My Lord, please understand."

"I don't know what's going on. It must be a mistake made by one of my subordinates. There's a new guard at the arsenal recently, and he's not very knowledgeable..."

Seeing him constantly trying to make amends and even trying to find a scapegoat, Chen Changli couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, is it because the new guard is ignorant? Go back to the cell and talk about it. Come on, take him away!"

He waved his hand, and the elite secret guards immediately stepped forward, captured the man, and put him in the sky prison.

This time, Chen Changli was worried that something might go wrong, so he personally escorted him all the way, interrogated him immediately, and hit him with a barbed whip again and again.

In just a moment, the man turned into a bloody corpse, his breath weak.

"Sir, I am really innocent." He was still crying out for justice, trying to get away with it, but Chen Changli had lost his patience and directly asked someone to bring a branding iron.

The red-hot iron was emitting a terrifying heat, and the man couldn't stop trembling. Until the iron was close to his cheek, he finally broke down and shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scalding iron stopped instantly and was thrown back into the pot. Chen Changli sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at him with his hands folded in front of him: "Speak clearly, and that thing will not be on you."

"I... I said it was Zhao Yue." His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed. "Zhao Yue colluded with the Minister of War to falsify military supply figures so he could embezzle the money and resell the food for a profit."

"Sir, I was also threatened. I hold a low position and have elderly and young children at home, so I had no choice but to obey. Please spare my life, sir."

He cried and begged, his face was covered with tears and snot, mixed with blood. His whole face was blood red and looked very scary.

"Sir, the complete account books are hidden in the secret room of Zhao Yue's mansion. You can check them. The benefits I received are minimal, and I am willing to give them up. I only ask that you, sir, spare my life for my honesty."

Hearing this, Chen Changli stared at him for a long time. After confirming that he was not lying, he slowly stood up and said, "I will deal with you after I have investigated thoroughly."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back. The cell door was locked again, and only the man's helpless pleading could be heard.

At this moment, outside the prison, Wan Shufang was standing outside waiting for Chen Changli. The interrogation was bloody and she was too lazy to go in, so she stayed here to check the account books.

Just as she was watching intently, a shadow suddenly fell on her head. Wan Shufang subconsciously looked up and met his joyful eyes.

"Has it been found out?"

"Well, the real account books are in the secret room of Zhao Yue's mansion. He probably already knows about the arrest of the commander of the military supply depot. We must go there as soon as possible without delay."

"Okay." Wan Shufang nodded in agreement, put away the account books, and the two of them went to ask the emperor for instructions. They brought elite secret guards and imperial guards and went straight to Zhao's mansion and surrounded it.

Outside the Zhao residence, Chen Changli looked at the tightly closed iron gate and shouted, "Zhao Yue, you're surrounded. Come out and confess your crimes."

After these words were spoken, the house was silent. Not to mention the door opening, there was not even an echo. The two looked at each other and instantly realized that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to give the order to break down the door, suddenly, smoke rose above the Zhao Mansion.

"Thick smoke?" Wan Shufang frowned, then suddenly realized something and shouted, "Knock on the door! He's burning the evidence!"

"Yes!" The secret guard received the order and immediately rushed forward, knocking the door open in a few strokes. However, at this moment, the Zhao Mansion was already engulfed in flames, and Zhao Yue was nowhere to be found.

"The Imperial Guards put out the fire, and the rest of you, split up and search."

"Yes!"

The group had a clear division of labor and quickly turned the Zhao Mansion upside down, but still did not find Zhao Yue. When her mind was in confusion, Wan Shufang thought of the secret room and subconsciously pulled Chen Changli's arm.

"Changli, the secret room, he must be in the secret room."

"Go to the study."

The two of them led a mighty group to the study. After several trials and errors, they finally opened the passage to the secret room. At this moment, Zhao Yue was directing the servants to move the wooden boxes. He looked excited and ready to escape from the secret room.

"Hurry, move quickly, those fires can't stop them."

When Chen Changli and Wan Shufang heard what Zhao Yue said, they were immediately furious. They flew forward and kicked him hard in the waist, kicking him out.

"Zhao Yue, where are you going?"

"Puff, cough, cough..." Zhao Yue was lying on the ground with his mouth full of dust. He stood up with difficulty. The moment he saw Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, he was immediately panicked.

But thinking of what he had done, he calmed down and looked at the two of them with a smile: "My Lord, Madam, it's been a long time since we last met."

"I'm in the process of getting everyone to move. I'm tired of living in this house. What? Do you want to take care of this too?"

Seeing Zhao Yue smiling and looking unrepentant, Wan Shufang immediately became angry and scolded him, "Zhao Yue, the military supply depot has already confessed its crimes. You are reselling food and fodder, and there is no turning back."

"Ah…"

Zhao Yue sneered, and as he was about to walk out of the secret passage, he suddenly bent his fingers and blew a whistle. In an instant, dozens of men in black surrounded him.

"Go, stop them."

"Capture Zhao Yue alive."

At the command of both sides, the scene instantly fell into melee. Seeing Zhao Yue hiding behind the attendant and trying to run away, Chen Changli took the arrow and aimed at his leg.

With a whoosh, the arrow was shot out, piercing through the crowd and hitting his leg accurately.

"Ah!" Zhao Yue screamed and fell to the ground. He was caught by the secret guards. Now that the person in charge was gone, the servants in the Zhao Mansion did not dare to move and surrendered one after another.

In an instant, they were all controlled by the secret guards. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yue felt unwilling to accept it. He looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang and gritted his teeth, "You two really deserve to die. If you hadn't meddled in my business, my grand ambition would have been accomplished long ago."

Hearing this, the two men ignored him and tied the man up. Then they went to check the secret room, but they didn't expect that the secret room was also burned down by the people he sent.

Seeing the two of them busying around, Zhao Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If you can't find it, it's all burned. It's inevitable that there will be a fire in the mansion."

"Shut his mouth and take him away."

Most of the secret room had been burned down, and it was difficult to find any evidence. There was no other way, so Chen Changli and Wan Shufang could only take Zhao Yue back and put him in jail.

But there was no evidence, Zhao Yue refused to plead guilty and just shouted out his innocence.

"My Lord, Madam, if you want to investigate the case, you must not wrongly accuse the honest and loyal."

"I didn't do those things. Are you arresting me like this to force me to confess?" Zhao Yue's eyes were full of sarcasm. Although his words showed weakness, they could still be heard as a provocation.

This made Wan Shufang very angry, and she wanted to use all the tortures of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on him, but if she did so, it would really be what he called a confession under torture.

The two men had no way to deal with him and were left with no other options but to lock him up first and then discuss countermeasures.
