As soon as dinner was over, the main course was served and the interrogation process began directly.

Shen Ruyi sat steadily in the carriage and heard the screams coming one after another outside.

The seven were interrogated separately.

In the end, Chen Bai, who had just fallen asleep, was scared awake and curled up next to his brother.

These people confessed quickly except Niu Er.

These people directly admitted that they were the ones who killed Chen Minglian and his family, and that they were indeed following the orders of their prefect Wu.

But they were not aware of the village massacre and the iron mine incident, and they were not involved.

The others pointed all their accusations at Niu Er: "Niu Er knows. He is Lord Wu's confidant, so he must know. Ask him about the iron mine, he will definitely know."

"You better not be lying. If I find out you're lying, not only will you be killed, but none of your family will escape either."

"I dare not, what I said is true, his son and our prefect's steward are relatives.

"Mr. Wu always leaves any private matters that cannot be seen by others to Niu Er, seriously, I am not lying."

"Yes, yes, yes. I prove that what Wang Xiaoliu said is true. Lord Wu doesn't trust us on some things. He must have someone else supporting him."

Ying Wu asked: "Where are these people you are talking about on a daily basis?"

"I don't know about this, but I accidentally saw Niu Er sitting with a group of unfamiliar people drinking together, and they were calling each other brothers."

"Really?"

"Really? I guarantee with the lives of my entire family that not a single word is false. It's all true."

Shadow Five: "Alright, I'll trust you for now. But, by the way, let me explain what else you did under Magistrate Wu.

Tell the truth and try to get leniency. You are definitely dead this time.

But as long as you tell the truth and cooperate with us in investigating the case, we can try to avoid bringing disaster to your family.

Otherwise, just wait for your property to be confiscated and your clan to be exterminated."

"We confess, we confess, we say, we say. Please don't hurt my family, they are innocent, they are all unaware."

With this matter hanging in the balance, the six people cooperated very well, fearing that if they explained it too late, it would bring disaster to their families.

The two masters Huang and Lu, as well as Doctor Chen and Xihe, were busy taking notes.

No one was idle.

Niu Er is a man of character, very patient. He keeps silent no matter how he is tortured.

Maybe the crime he committed was too serious, and if he told anyone about it, his whole family would die, so he kept his mouth shut.

Shen Ruyi then lazily got off the carriage and came to Niu Er.

"Come, let's try my newly developed enhanced itching powder on him and see how effective it is.

So far, I haven't found a suitable medicine man, so let's use him and save some money."

"okay."

Then he introduced himself to Niu Er: "Come, let me introduce myself, I am the King of the East China Sea.

With a special sword in his hand, he can kill princes and corrupt officials.

Even if you don't confess, it doesn't matter. I can still order people to exterminate your entire clan.

Don't worry about any burdens or problems. I hope you can keep your mouth shut."

After saying that, he flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeve and turned away.

Niu Er's voice came from behind, "What good will it do if I confess?"

Xia Ran turned around and gave the other person a look of contempt, "Negotiating terms with this king? You are not worthy.

However, whether I kill all your family members or leave a single heir to continue your family line is entirely up to me."

Then he got on the carriage without looking back and prepared to rest.

Niu Er asked in his tortured hoarse voice: "What if you lie to me?"

Shen Ruyi ignored the other party at all, but Ying Wu lowered his voice and said a few words to the other party.

Not long afterward, Niu Er confessed everything without missing a single one.

In the eyes of some people, incense is sometimes more important than anything else.

Of course, the itching powder that Shen Ruyi gave out was not used for the time being, so she could only look for another opportunity next time.

Shen Ruyi went to bed early, while the others were busy all night long.

The main reason is that too much was revealed, much more than people thought.

We wrote several thick books, which made everyone's hands tired. In the end, several people took turns to finish the recording.

After confirming that everything was correct, they all signed their names.

The heavy rain stopped in the second half of the night.

The only ones who could sleep peacefully that night were Shen Ruyi and Chen Bai.

Others were not so lucky. Some were on night duty, some were trying cases, and some were taking notes.

Chen Bai's sleep was mainly due to the effect of the medicine, and he had the most sound and restful sleep in recent times.

The two brothers didn't have any serious injuries.

While escaping over mountains and hills, I was scratched by thorny vines and my feet were covered in blisters.

The rest of the blood was from his family members.

This is the only good news.

After waking up in the morning, everyone had breakfast and waited for the sun to evaporate the water on the road before setting off.

Otherwise it would be too muddy and difficult to walk on.

Shen Ruyi looked at the written evidence, one by one, and the sky in Shu County was about to change.

In fact, she didn't want to kill anyone, let alone raid other people's homes.

Unfortunately, these officials are more hateful and deserving of death than each other.

They don't take the common people seriously at all. Maybe the people at the bottom are like ants in the eyes of these officials.

Just trample him to death.

For the rest of the journey, Shen Ruyi and his group changed their route and planned to collect evidence first and then go to the provincial capital.

Yingjiu took a detour to mobilize troops, as this problem could not be solved without enough people.

In order to speed up their journey, these seven people were given some muscle softening powder and stuffed into a horse-drawn carriage to continue their journey.

The main reason is that their injuries are too serious, and if they walk by themselves it will affect everyone's schedule.

And those people who witnessed Shen Ruyi's methods yesterday were more clever than each other.

Although Shen Ruyi seems to be a humble person in daily life, she occasionally jokes and laughs with them.

However, deep down, he was still afraid of Shen Ruyi.

They always felt that he was so smart at such a young age, like a fox, which made them feel uneasy.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu were more moved.

Looking at the entire Dali Dynasty, there were not many officials who directly challenged their superiors without considering the complicated relationships and backgrounds behind the criminals.

The King of the East Sea is almost unique.

I guess even if the government wants to deal with an individual, they have to consider the network of relationships behind this person before deciding how many copies to make.

But the person in front of me had no such concerns at all. He said that if they made any mistakes, I would catch them all.

Just do what the law requires. If you feel it's difficult to handle in the capital, you can execute the person locally first.

The consequences came to him on his own.

Maybe it's because I'm young that I don't care.

But I have to admire the other party's skills and courage. He really did it.

Moreover, he is always at the forefront and does not need to drag others to take the blame. He is braver than anyone else.

I have to say that it is very happy to work with such a person.

He has few things to do, is not pretentious, and can handle things when they happen.
