Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Yun Changhai in the dilapidated temple found his daughter again. After the sadness, there was only joy.

Mr. Fu, who came from the capital, also rushed to Weibei with 5000 soldiers and surrounded Wu Cheng's mansion.

Wu Chengcheng had sent almost all of his men out to hunt down Jiang Chuan and his men. When he received the news, he knew that the situation was hopeless. He simply fled with his son and a few of his trusted guards.

When Mr. Fu arrived at the mansion holding the imperial edict, he only had time to arrest Wu Cheng's wives and concubines.

As a result, a wanted order quickly spread throughout Weibei. The officers and soldiers guarding the granary then realized that the situation in Weibei had changed and was no longer controlled by Wu Cheng alone.

The merchants, common people, and granary guards who were usually oppressed by Wu Cheng's son and Wu Cheng heard that it was Duke Fu of the capital who came here to investigate Wu Cheng's selling of grain and grass, taking bribes, and oppressing the people. They were all overjoyed, ran around to tell others, and clapped their hands in celebration.

In the past, because Wu Cheng was a garrison commander with power and troops, many people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. They could only swallow their anger and accept the loss.

Now that the announcement has been made, it is known that the emperor has sent people to investigate Wu Cheng. Some of those who have been persecuted still cannot believe it.

But later, they saw soldiers knocking on doors from house to house, searching for the whereabouts of Wu Cheng and his son.

Those who were brave enough and had evidence in their hands immediately came to the yamen and beat drums to protest their innocence.

Others who had no evidence and had suffered losses began to secretly help the officers and soldiers to find the whereabouts of Wu Cheng and his son.

Duke Fu had already wanted to cut Wu Cheng into pieces because of Jiangchuan's matter. Now that the common people were willing to help, how could he be vague?

He simply moved his desk to the gate of the yamen that day and worked in public.

And make three commitments.

1. Anyone who finds Wu Cheng and his son will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. This can be paid in person.

Article 2: All common people can go and watch the way things are done. If there is any injustice, they can ask Duke Fu to handle it personally.

Article 3: As long as there is evidence, anyone who comes to the government to file a complaint will be accepted and handled on the spot.

As a result, the common people who were originally standing at the door timidly, somewhat afraid and not daring to risk going in to file a complaint, suddenly gained courage.

When they saw an old man who had lost his daughter submitting a petition regardless of the consequences, and the officers and soldiers did not make any trouble for him, other people became bolder and came forward one after another to complain.

In just one morning, almost half a basket of evidence was collected.

Originally, Duke Fu thought that finding evidence would be complicated and troublesome. He had made many preparations, but he did not expect that Wu Cheng and his son would plunder the people in Weibei and treat themselves as local emperors. He had already aroused the wrath of heaven and people, and those who were persecuted by him had nowhere to turn to. They hated him to the bone.

Now that someone can administer justice, why is there any need to search for evidence?

As a result, the backup plan arranged by Duke Fu was of no use.

Wu Cheng and his son were forced by Duke Fu's arrangement to hide in the city. They had no choice but to get out through the dog hole under the city wall that night and fled to the mountains between Weibei and Weinan overnight.

There was a place called Lion Ridge, where lived a group of bandits, led by a man called Scarface.

Two people, one is an official, the other is a bandit, on the surface they seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, they are secretly sworn brothers. Their private relationship is extremely good.

Most of the grain that Wu Cheng exchanged was sold after being sold by Daobalian.

A large portion of the property that Scarface had robbed over the years also ended up in the Wu Mansion.

And every year, when the government needed a nest of bandits, Wu Cheng would tell Scarface the news in advance.

This is why we have been fighting against bandits every year but have never been able to wipe them out.

At this moment, Wu Cheng and his son were standing on the Lion Ridge, in the front hall of Scarface's lair. Their clothes were covered with dust, and their faces were dirty. They looked disheveled. Looking closely, they no longer had the grace they once had. They also did not have the majesty they had when they were the defenders of Weibei.

Scarface received the notification and came to the front hall. Seeing the appearance of several people, he sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He pretended to be very enthusiastic and greeted them.

He reached out and held Wu Cheng's arm: "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this? Come quickly, prepare some good wine and food for me." He had ordered his men to prepare food last night.

Wu Yong was deeply moved and felt that Scarface's contribution was really worth it. He had been traveling all the way here and was already hungry.

As soon as the food and wine were served, under the persuasion of Scarface, several people drank and ate a lot, and soon fell on the table and did not move.

Scarface just glanced at them and ordered everyone to tie them up and throw them into the dark cave behind.

Scarface then returned to the yard where he lived, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and asked his confidant to deliver it quickly.
