Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Liu Zizhuang is at Fan's house.

The one guarding the Qi family was his deputy Li Siguang.

After Fu Jiu and Wang Cong left, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, imagining all kinds of exciting scenes of him showing off his skills. Seeing Fu Jiu and Wang Cong coming back, he hurriedly came over in fear and asked in a trembling voice, "Is the operation canceled?"

"Why do you want to cancel? Don't you want to do it anymore?" Fu Jiu looked at him warily. If he dared to answer yes, he would chop him with his sword.

Seeing him like this, Li Siguang also got into a fighting stance and asked, "If the operation is not cancelled, why did you come back?"

"Of course I'm giving it to you." Fu Jiu handed him the pieces of evidence Chan Yi had copied, as well as the note from Mr. Fan, "The Master said that he wanted you to give these to Mr. Qi or Mr. Qi San, and also to tell him about the Fan family's conspiracy to run away."

Li Siguang shook the evidence, walked to the oil lamp, looked at the dim light for a few seconds, and suddenly widened his eyes and said: "Are you going to let them kill each other? Killing each other is good, killing each other is the easiest way to fish in troubled waters and show off your strength. You wait, I will send it to Master Qi and Master Qi San!"

"Wait a minute," Wang Cong hurriedly stopped him, "If you send it to them so openly, it will inevitably make them suspicious. You have to think of a way, at least make up a decent reason to explain how these evidences came about."

"What's so difficult about this?" Li Siguang winked and chuckled, "Everyone knows how good Brother Liu is to me. I'll just say that the Fan family was planning to run away, and Brother sent someone to give it to me."

Wang Cong looked at Fu Jiu.

Fu Jiu nodded quickly and said, "I think it's great."

Wang Cong thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signaled Li Siguang: "Go ahead, be careful."

"Then I'll go?" Li Siguang said. After Wang Cong nodded, he immediately rushed out like a monkey.

At the corner at the end of Shangyang Street.

After Fu Jiu and Wang Cong sneaked back into the Qi family, Chen Shao thought for a moment and then instructed Li Tianliu: "Send someone to invite Ding Lisheng over, and also send someone to call the executioners over to wait."

"I'm afraid the money those executioners earned in the past few months will not be spent in their lifetime." Chan Yi joked after Li Tianliu arranged for people to go.

When Li Tianliu heard her words, he said casually: "If you are envious, you can go too."

Chan Yi glared at him unhappily, "Just saying it is called envy?"

Li Tianliu asked in protest: "What is that called?"

Chan Yi rolled her eyes: "What's it got to do with you?"

"It's really none of my business," Li Tianliu glanced at her, then at Chen Shao, and deliberately teased slowly, "I'm just curious. Your master treats you well, so why is he short of your money?"

Chan Yi sneered: "Why, is there anyone who thinks that the money is too much?"

Li Tianliu glanced at her again and said, "I don't know if you think the money is too much, but...if you are willing to ask me for help, I can lend you some money."

Chan Yi sneered: "I thought you were so generous that you even lent me some silver."

Seeing her beaming with joy, Li Tianliu curled his lips slightly and said, "You don't have to pay it back."

"No need." Chan Yi snorted coldly, "Save the money for your future wife."

She glanced at him deliberately and teased, "I just don't know which unlucky guy will marry you."

Li Tianliu smiled and said, "Why, do you look down on our General's Mansion?"

There was nothing else to do, so Chen Shao had no intention of stopping the two from bickering as usual. However, after hearing the two start to attack each other, Chen Shao looked at them calmly. Seeing that one was really disgusted and the other was really rude, he couldn't help but think of the handkerchief that was replaced... Interesting.

Meeting her gaze, Li Tianliu shut up guiltily, but Chan Yi said unyieldingly, "Why don't you say anything? You have nothing to say, right?"

Li Tianliu snorted: "I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

Chan Yi said disdainfully: "You make it sound like I really want to argue with you!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chen Shao quickly said, "Okay, let's both take a step back. Fu Jiu and Mr. Wang are back. Don't let others laugh at you."

After Fu Jiu brought Wang Cong out of Qi's house, they landed directly in front of the carriage. Without anyone asking, Fu Jiu quickly said, "Li Siguang has arranged for someone to deliver the evidence to Third Master Qi. When we came out, Third Master Qi had already brought the evidence to Master Qi."

Chen Shao asked: "Who is Li Siguang?"

"He is Liu Zizhuang's deputy," Fu Jiu said quickly, "and is willing to cooperate with us."

Chen Shao looked at Wang Cong and asked, "What kind of person is Li Siguang?"

Wang Cong quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. Li Siguang is a very upright person. He almost joined the Chen family army a few years ago, but Master Chen persuaded him to return home when he learned that he was the only male left in his family. After learning that you came to Hongyuan County, he was so ashamed that he wanted to confess his crime and commit suicide in front of you several times. It was only because his wife and children persuaded him that he has survived until now. Now that you ask him to do something, he is more than happy to do it, and he will never betray you."

The young master Chen that Wang Cong mentioned should be the elder brother of the original owner of the body, Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng was sixteen years older than the original owner of the body, so Chen Shao had never met him. Feeling relieved, Chen Shao asked, "In that case, when we take action later, you will follow Lord Ding to the Qi family. At the critical moment, you and Li Siguang will repeat the words that General Li shouted yesterday several times, and strive for a quick victory. After taking down the Qi family, don't delay and report to me at the Fan family immediately. I have other things to tell you."

Wang Cong said it was a room, and Ding Lisheng also came.

Ding Lisheng came in a gray carriage. When the carriage stopped, he got off quickly, took a quick look at the Gu and Qi families, and then walked to Chen Shao's carriage in two steps. He couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Young Master, are you going to take action against the Fan and Qi families?"

Chen Shao said 'hmm', motioned for Chan Yi to hand him the evidence of the Qi family's crimes, and said, "I have already made all the necessary arrangements. When the operation begins, I will go to the Fan family and you go to the Qi family. We must take them down in one fell swoop."

Ding Lisheng, holding the box containing the evidence of the Qi family's crimes, responded repeatedly.

Chen Shao briefly explained the arrangement to him: "Some of the Qi family's robbers have agreed to cooperate with us. After the Qi family's people go to the Fan family, you will take this box of evidence to the Qi family. There is no need to pretend to be nice to them, just take action directly."

Ding Lisheng nodded again.

Chen Shao glanced at him and said, "After you start, don't act on your own and cause trouble. I will let Wang Dangjia follow you. He knows the surrendered robbers. You will be responsible for giving orders, and he will be responsible for the actions."

Ding Lisheng glanced at Wang Cong obscurely and said yes again.

Everything was arranged properly, and after waiting for about two cups of tea, Master Qi, Master Qi San and others came out of the Qi family in a menacing manner, and went to the Fan family in a menacing manner.

After waiting for another cup of tea, Chen Shao got off the carriage and ordered in a deep voice: "Move!"

Chen Shao went straight to the Fan family, while Wang Cong and Ding Lisheng went to the Qi family.

Master Qi threw the evidence at Master Fan, who picked it up with a cold face. After seeing the contents, his expression changed instantly, "This is ridiculous!"

Mr. Fan took the evidence from him and his face changed after he read the contents. Mr. Fan II saw that the situation was not good and took the evidence. When he saw the note he had written to Ding Lisheng, his face suddenly turned red.

"Ridiculous?" Master Qi sneered, "Do you dare to say that the note is not written by Mr. Fan?"

Master Fan glared at Master Fan Er and snorted coldly, "If you want to frame someone, what kind of handwriting can't you have?"

"Okay, this handwriting may not be from Mr. Fan," Mr. Qi continued to sneer, "Then what is the meaning of your Fan family secretly sending people to the dock to prepare the merchant ship?"

Mr. Fan's heart sank, and he casually said in defense, "What do you mean secretly? The dock has been closed for half a month, and it's time to take action. I arranged for someone to go there at night, just to find out if there are people under the watch of Mr. Chen Liu."

Master Qi said angrily: "Old Man Fan, don't go too far!"

"I said that……"

"Master, this is bad." When the two sides were arguing, the chief steward of the Fan family rushed in hurriedly. Without even wiping the sweat off his forehead, he quickly said, "Young Master Chen Liu is here!"

The faces of Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi San, Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Fan Er all changed. Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi San stood up subconsciously and moved away from Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Fan Er. The robbers who followed them were also alert. Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan Er and others did not care about them anymore. After a few people looked at each other in horror, Mr. Fan said calmly: "What are you two still doing? Hurry up and go to the gate to greet them!"

The Gu family was raided less than three hours ago. Is it their turn so soon?

After they raided the Wen family, they raided the Zhu family a month later. After they raided the Zhu family, they raided the Gu family almost half a month later. Why didn’t they leave any time when it came to the Fan family?

With trepidation and glimmer of hope in their hearts, Master Fan and Master Fan II hurried to the gate to greet them. Seeing that Chen Shao only brought Li Tianliu, Fu Jiu, Chan Yi, Quan Shuyu and seven or eight Yulin Guards, the two of them finally felt relieved: "I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you'll forgive me."

After apologizing, Mr. Fan took another step back without stopping, and respectfully extended his hand and said, "Please come in, sir."

Chen Shao stood still. "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. There's no need to invite us in. I think Master Fan and Master Fan already know the purpose of my visit. Since the first day I came to Hongyuan County, I have been waiting for the Fan family to find me. Unfortunately, no one from the Fan family has come to visit me until today. In this case, we don't need to waste each other's time anymore."

"My lord, you are innocent," Master Fan and Master Fan knelt on the ground in fear, and Master Fan begged for mercy again and again, "We didn't come to your house because you were busy with official duties, and we dared not disturb you rashly. We hope you will forgive us, and we also hope you will give the Fan family another chance to follow your lead!"

"You are not worthy of following the lead of the Fan family," Chan Yi came forward with the evidence of the Gu family's crimes. Chen Shao opened the box and flipped through the evidence inside. He did not allow them to explain themselves and ordered in a deep voice, "Li Tianliu."

Li Tianliu raised his hand and pressed it down gently.

In the dark night, countless torches lit up instantly. Twenty Yu Lin guards also rushed into the gate and quickly surrounded the people who came to greet them, including Master Fan and Master Fan. Afterwards, before Li Tianliu could take action, Fu Jiu had already taken the lead and flew up to the house, holding up a torch and shouting loudly: "All Fan family members, listen up, you have been surrounded. Those who did not participate in the garden cases, surrender immediately, and you will be spared! All the robbers recruited by the Fan family, turn over a new leaf immediately, and our young master can guarantee that they will join the Chen family army! All Fan family members and robbers, listen up, no matter who you are, as long as you help the Yu Lin guards catch the murderer, you will be rewarded! The limit is two cups of tea, and no one will be rewarded after the time is up!"

Amid the commotion at the Fan family's home, Fu Jiu finally flew down contentedly.

Facing Li Tianliu's cold gaze, Fu Jiu said proudly, "How is my voice? Is it loud?"

He spent a full hour preparing this passage!

Li Tianliu sneered disdainfully.

The Fan family seemed even more chaotic than when the Gu family was besieged.

No one expected that Chen Shao would take action against the Fan family right after confiscating the Gu family.

Sounds of surrender, cries, requests for help, sounds of arrest... With the joint efforts of Liu Zizhuang and the Yulin Guards, the encirclement and suppression was over in just one hour.

Everyone in the Fan family, from Old Master Fan and his wife to the six-year-old Young Master Fan, all had their hands tied. They were driven out of the Fan family by the Yulin Guards and stood in three long rows on Shangyang Street outside the gate.

The Qi family was nearly two cups of tea slower than the Fan family.

After the Fan family's people were almost all standing in Shangyang Street, the Qi family's people were driven out one after another.

"I have accomplished my mission!" Wang Cong kept Chen Shao's instructions in mind, and after the Qi family came out, he quickly walked up to her to report in.

Seeing this, Liu Zizhuang followed closely and waited for orders.

Chen Shao was still waiting to deal with the aftermath and had no time to chat. Seeing the two men coming over, he ordered them directly: "Each of you take a team of people and go to the second and third branches of the Fan family and the Qi family immediately. No matter whether they accept the amnesty or not, you must bring back everyone!"

After Wang Cong took Liu Zizhuang away, Chen Shao looked at the noisy Fan and Qi families, and then at the people hiding in the shadows in the distance, and turned to tell Li Tianliu, "It's late tonight, it's not appropriate to cause any more trouble. Leave Master Fan, Master Qi, and their stewards behind, and immediately arrange for the Yulin Guards to take the rest back! Also tell the people from the Ding and Ren families to guard the Gu, Fan, and Qi mansions tonight, and be alert to those who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble or steal."

After Li Tianliu made the arrangements, Chen Shao looked at Fu Jiu who was eager to try. After thinking for a while, he simply ordered him, "You have to work harder tonight. Stay here and take care of the mansions of the three families."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely take care of it." Before he finished speaking, he had already run towards a fat middle-aged man in his early forties at the Qi family. The fat middle-aged man was also looking over here, and when he met Chen Shao's gaze, he immediately lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing Fu Jiu dancing in front of the fat middle-aged man, Chen Shao asked, "Who is that?"

The Yulin Guards who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Qi family answered, "Liu Zizhuang's deputy Li Siguang."

The Li Siguang who had originally joined the Chen family army and was persuaded by Chen Zheng to come back? Chen Shao looked at him carefully, asked the Yulin Guards a few more questions, and after confirming that he was a reliable person, he signaled Li Tianliu who had returned: "Bring Master Fan, Master Qi, and their stewards here."

The sooner the trial is over, the easier it will be to go back and rest.
