Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

When Chen Shao came to the front of the crowd and explained the situation, many people quickly stepped forward and said they could help. Chen Shao looked at the five or six-year-old children among the people who stood up and waved at him with amusement. When he came up to them, he rubbed his head affectionately and asked, "Do you know what to do?"

The child shook his head.

Chen Shao teased him, "We are going to kill bad guys, are you afraid?"

The child subconsciously took a step back, then immediately puffed out his chest and replied, "I'm not afraid!"

"So brave." Chen Shao asked, "What's your name?"

The child answered loudly: "My name is Goudan. My grandfather said that Goudan is the easiest to raise."

Chen Shao said solemnly: "Little friend Goudan, I am going to give you a great task. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"

Goudan imitated her previous actions in the carriage and bowed, saying, "Please give me your orders, sir!"

Chen Shao suppressed his smile and asked, "There are two boxes of cakes in my carriage. I really can't finish them. Can you help me eat them?"

Goudan really didn't understand why there were still unfinished cakes, but he still assured: "Yes!"

"Then please follow Sister Chanyi to get them." Chen Shao raised his hand and bowed slightly towards him.

Goudan followed suit and bowed to her before following Chanyi.

Chen Shao watched them walk to the carriage, then turned around, persuaded the women and elderly people in the team to leave, and called back thirty-six young and strong men, "Is that enough?"

Li Tianliu glanced at her, then at the thirty-six people, and after a faint "enough", he immediately gave the order: "Each group of twelve people will be led by a Yulin Guard and two Yamen runners. Move!"

Soon, all the employees of Tongchuntang, Shiweizhai and Changshun Shoe Store were driven out. The main door, back door and side door of the three shops were immediately closed and a yamen runner was left to guard them.

After thanking the people around him again, Chen Shao took the suspects back to the prefectural government.

"Young Master." Seeing Chen Shao from afar, Ding Lisheng hurried out of the lobby to greet her. After a quick glance at Dong Jin and others behind her, he whispered, "Ding Yichang, Ding Fu, Ding Rong, as well as Ren Yujie, Wen Gui and Zhao Letian have all been brought back. Ding Yichang, Ding Fu and Ding Rong have all admitted to the crime of wanton behavior in Luoyan Residence. Evidence of Ren Yuyu, Wen Gui, Zhao Letian's sworn brotherhood with Luo Jian and Luo Zhongyi has also been found, and the three have also pleaded guilty. But Third Master Ren and Third Master Wen also came along, saying they have something important to discuss with you, Young Master."

"My humble servant greets you, sir." Third Master Ren and Third Master Wen stepped forward at the right time, both of them showing anger.

Chen Shao glanced at them, then turned back and told Li Tianliu: "Arrange people to arrest their family members first."

"Sir," Third Master Ren stepped forward and said angrily, "There's no need to arrest their family members. I've already brought the mastermind who rode the horse to commit the crime here!"

"Go!" Chen Shao ignored him.

"Son..."

Chen Shao sneered: "Master Ren, do you want to teach me how to do things?"

Master Ren San said quickly: "I dare not, but..."

Chen Shao interrupted him forcefully and said, "Since you don't dare, then shut up! You've lived to such an old age, don't you even know this little bit of etiquette?"

Master Ren San suddenly looked up, anger surging in his eyes.

The Yulin Guards present immediately stepped forward and drew out half of their long swords.

Chen Shao raised his foot, stepped past them, and walked towards Master Ren San step by step, "Why, Master Ren San wants to rebel?"

Third Master Ren's face changed, and he knelt on the ground quickly, "I dare not."

Stopping in front of him, Chen Shao looked at the people in the hall: "You'd better not dare, otherwise..."

Otherwise, she didn't say anything. After turning around and asking Li Tianliu to make the arrangements, she raised her foot again, "Get out of the way!"

Master Ren Sanye stepped aside with a look of frustration.

Chen Shao walked past him, walked into the lobby, sat down on the table, motioned Ding Lisheng to pour a cup of tea, and then asked, "Who is the mastermind behind the murder?"

"You evil creature, come out here and die!" Master Ren San angrily kicked the young man in white next to him.

The young man in white staggered and fell to the ground, not daring to cry out in pain.

"To answer your question, sir, the mastermind behind the crime was none other than this evil creature and the fourth young master of the Wen family!" Third Master Ren said with an angry face.

As he spoke, Master Wen also kicked the young man in blue behind him: "Get out!"

The young man in blue fell to the ground, and without crying out in pain, he quickly got up and knelt.

Seeing this, Zhao Letian, who was standing by, knelt down beside them without being kicked.

Afterwards, three more people knelt down.

Chen Shao glanced at Third Master Ren, Third Master Wen, and then at Ding Lisheng, then looked at the young man in white and the young man in blue and said, "Ren Yujie, Wen Gui?"

Master Ren San said angrily, "It's these two evil creatures!"

Chen Shao asked coldly: "Why did you ride a horse to commit murder?"

Third Master Ren snorted, "I've already told these two evil creatures not to associate with Luo Jian, Luo Zhong and other bastards, but they agreed on the surface and continued to associate with them secretly. Not only did they form some bullshit sworn brotherhood with them, but they also used the reputation of me and Third Master Wen to instruct Lu Yuanfei to look for young boys and girls for them!"

While saying this, he kept kicking Ren Yujie several times.

Ren Yujie was forced to endure it without saying a word.

Seeing that he had only said half of his words, Mr. Wen San quickly added, "The Shi Dajiang that the young master executed this afternoon, according to these bastards, was a subordinate of Lu Yuanfei. When they saw that Shi Dajiang was dead and the young master sent people to the prefectural governor's mansion, they guessed that the young master was going to arrest Lu Yuanfei. They were afraid that Lu Yuanfei would betray them, so they boldly found these three ruffians and tried to kill Lu Yuanfei to save themselves."

Chen Shao glanced at the three people kneeling behind him and asked Ren Yujie and Wen Gui, "Are they the people you are looking for outside?"

Just as Mr. Ren was about to answer, Chen Shao looked at him. Mr. Ren was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, so he quickly shut up.

"Ren Yujie, you answer." Chen Shao called.

Ren Yujie looked behind him fearfully before he said with a pale face, "Yes."

Chen Shao looked at Wen Gui again. Wen Gui's face looked even worse. Besides being pale and bloodless, his teeth were still trembling slightly. But because of Master Wen San, he still reluctantly answered, "Yes."

Chen Shao said, "Did you find them by yourselves, or did you ask someone else to find them? Ren Yujie, you answer first."

Ren Yujie gritted his teeth and answered, "We found them ourselves."

Chen Shao immediately asked: "Where did you find them?"

Ren Yujie fell silent, and was kicked by Ren Sanye again before he was forced to answer: "Just, I sent someone to tell them, and they came."

Chen Shao glanced at Master Ren San and asked again, "In other words, you have known them for a long time?"
