Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 281: Is it considered as disobeying the imperial order?

The gate was breached almost instantly, and a massive crowd of people poured into Qingshanju.

There wasn't even a fight.

It was a complete crushing.

Fan Rongwei, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly looked panicked. A large number of swords and knives were pointed at them, completely surrounding them.

"Ning Wan! Jin Lan!" Ling Chaowen was the first to rush over and ran towards them.

"Are you guys okay?"

The two shook their heads.

Ling Chaowen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all fine and Jin Lan was safe.

Then he pointed at Fan Rongwei angrily, "How dare you! You even kidnapped my sister!"

Fan Rongwei was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming serious. "May I ask who you are?"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Duke Ling."

As soon as these words came out, Fan Rongwei's face turned pale instantly. The person they kidnapped was Duke Ling's sister?

Ling Jinlan shouted angrily, "Hurry up and open the dungeon door! If anything happens to the people inside, no one in your Fan family will survive!"

Fan Rongwei looked panicked and quickly asked Fan Shan to open the mechanism in the dungeon.

The mechanism on the altar moved and the iron door slowly opened.

Ling Jinlan was extremely anxious.

However, the moment the iron gate opened, everyone was shocked.

The ground was littered with corpses and blood. The black figure standing behind the gate had blood on his face and blood dripping from the sword in his hand. He was full of murderous aura, like a Shura from hell.

"Master Qin, are you okay?" Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Huaizhao worriedly.

"It's okay." Qin Huaizhao slowly walked out of the dungeon, glanced at Ling Jinlan, and felt relieved to see that she was not injured.

Seeing this skill of fighting one against a hundred, Fan Rongwei's heart tightened, "Who is this?"

Ling Chaowen said coldly, "Qin Huaizhao, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple!"

Fan Rongwei's legs suddenly went weak. How could he have offended so many important figures? The Fan family was probably finished this time...

At this time, another figure slowly came over.

He took his men to capture Fan Rongwei and others.

Fan Rongwei did not struggle, and struggling was useless.

The entire Qingshanju has been controlled.

"Are you all okay? Is no one hurt?" Qin Beihuang walked over quickly and his first glance fell on Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised when she saw him.

"It's you!"

He turned to look at Ling Chaowen, "Is this your helper?"

Ling Chaowen nodded.

Qin Beihuang stepped forward and explained, "I was ordered to capture Fenxinlou, but I met Duke Ling on the way. He told me that you were in danger and needed help, so I came here."

"Don't blame him. It was me who didn't let him tell you, because I was afraid you would refuse."

Jiang Ningwan didn't say anything.

He turned around and glanced at Qin Huaizhao, who had suffered a lot of injuries, so he said to Ling Jinlan: "Take Master Qin to get bandaged."

"I'll go check in the dungeon."

Ling Jinlan nodded.

Then Jiang Ningwan walked into the dungeon, and Yan Huixue and Qin Beihuang followed quickly.

Jiang Ningwan went to open the first secret room and brought the girl out from the corner. "Don't be afraid, it's safe outside. We will get you out."

There are many secret rooms like this throughout the dungeon.

Many girls were released one after another.

Some were covered in wounds, and some were barely alive.

Jiang Ningwan carried a needle bag with her and gave an emergency injection. She immediately had the patient carried out and handed over to Ling Jinlan for treatment.

Qin Beihuang watched from the side, anger accumulating between his brows.

"When Ling Chaowen told me about it, I didn't believe it. I never thought the Fan family was the culprit in the kidnapping case!"

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

She looked at him in surprise, "The Emperor asked you to capture Fenxin Tower? What was the specific reason?"

"Didn't Magistrate Cao's son die? The report reached the court, so the emperor sent me here."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and thought, the situation seemed similar to that in his previous life.

But this time she clearly caught the murderer on the spot, and it was Fan Chengsong who did it, so why could she still frame Fenxinlou?

And it was too fast.

The news was reported to the court shortly after Cao Hui's death.

"Who reported it?" Jiang Ningwan looked at him suspiciously.

"Mr. Li, the Minister of Justice."

Jiang Ningwan understood immediately that Lord Li was related to the Zhou family by marriage. Once Cao Hui died, no matter who the murderer was, the blame would be put on Fenxin Tower.

At this time, let Qin Beihuang capture the members of Fenxin Tower and make a contribution.

Everything is arranged.

This also shows that the Fan family and the Zhou family have a vested interest.

But looking at Qin Beihuang's expression, he seemed unaware of the inside story.

Otherwise, why would they disobey the order and come to surround Qingshanju?

"The Emperor ordered you to arrest Fenxinlou. Does this count as disobeying his orders?"

Qin Beihuang was slightly startled, then answered calmly, "I trust your judgment."

"Since you've personally ventured into danger to investigate this matter, it means the Fan family is indeed guilty. This fact is right before our eyes."

"I can be considered to have assisted you and Lord Qin in solving the major case."

"If the emperor punishes me, I will accept it."

After hearing this, it seemed that he really didn't know about the Zhou family's arrangements.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Anyway, thank you."

After saying that, she walked away.

Seeing that smile, Qin Beihuang was stunned for a moment, his heart pounding.

He didn't know when was the last time Jiang Ningwan smiled at him.

Coming back to his senses, Qin Beihuang raised the corners of his lips slightly and quickly followed.

A total of more than 60 people were rescued from the dungeon. The injured were bandaged and treated by Ling Jinlan. Fortunately, a lot of medicinal herbs were found in Qingshanju.

And a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Qin Huaizhao sat in the room for a while, his eyes fell on Ling Jinlan. Seeing her bandaging the wound gently and carefully, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Until Jiang Ningwan walked in.

"Master Qin, we've almost finished searching. Fan Rongwei, will you conduct the interrogation or should I?"

Qin Huaizhao is the Minister of the Dali Temple, so it is more appropriate for him to conduct the interrogation.

"Together."

The two men came to a secret room in the dungeon, which happened to be empty and used to imprison the Fan family.

Fan Rongwei, who was tied to a chair, had an indifferent expression, as if he would rather die than surrender.

Jiang Ningwan opened a thick account book in her hand. "The Fan family kidnaps and sells women and children to various places every year, accepting gifts for profit, and making millions of taels of silver every year."

"But what we found in Qingshanju, plus your Fan family's assets, is far less than that."

"Where do you hide your money?"

Fan Rongwei snorted coldly, "Of course it was used up."

"Can you use that much?"

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Huaizhao didn't believe it.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin." Qin Huaizhao picked up the dagger, walked over and stabbed it into Fan Rongwei's thigh.

"Ah!" Fan Rongwei screamed in pain.

As Qin Huai's hand slowly turned the dagger, blood gushed out and Fan Rongwei let out a shrill scream.

"You! How dare you resort to lynching!"

Qin Huaizhao snorted coldly, "Isn't this your dungeon? Haven't you done enough lynching?"

"Let me give you a taste of these torture instruments."

That sinister tone sent chills down one's spine.

Ling Jinlan, who had walked out of the secret room, happened to see this scene. Jiang Ningwan noticed her and asked, "Jinlan, why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, a hint of panic flashed in Qin Huaizhao's eyes. He immediately loosened the hand holding the dagger, stood up straight, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Didn't scare her?
