Chapter 1808 Arrest
Shao Yunduan will sooner or later take action against the three major families. Since coming here, Sun Bai and others have already learned about the three major families bit by bit and investigated them bit by bit. They also know the structure of their mansions like the back of their hand.
Sun Bai didn't make a choice, and went to the courtyard where Fan Ruyin and her husband lived first...
He was lucky. He caught Nanny Hang, Fan Ruyin's trusted woman. The woman was awakened from her sleep by him. She felt a sharp blade on her neck and was almost scared to death. She answered all the questions and begged for mercy tremblingly. She said that it was all the idea of the old lady and her wife, and it had nothing to do with her. She was just responsible for passing on the message. The housekeeper arranged it...
Sun Bai got the information he wanted and was too lazy to pay attention to her nonsense. He knocked the person unconscious and left under the cover of night.
The arrest on the other side also went smoothly.
The people from the yamen found the leader of the gangsters in the area and told him what happened. The leader quickly agreed with a smile and asked his younger brothers to investigate. In less than an hour, the result came out.
There were four people in total who took the ticket tonight. Now they were all brought here, trembling with fear.
Not all the people on the street are stupid, they are smarter than ordinary people in some aspects. They just did that job tonight and each of them got eight taels of silver, but before the silver was even warm in their pockets, someone brought it here. What else could it be if it wasn't because of this?
The four of them felt a little regretful. This shouldn’t have happened!
It would be fine if he committed petty thefts or robbed street vendors of a sesame bun or two, but would he easily provoke someone from the government?
Although he is just a small clerk, touching him would be tantamount to slapping the face of the government. Can the government just let it go?
As expected, bad luck...
The four men were so frightened that they trembled with fear. They did not dare to lie in front of their boss. When asked, they confessed everything and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with sad faces.
Begging for mercy was of no use. The four men were taken back to the yamen by the bailiffs and directly locked up in the jail.
The next morning, Shao Yunduan held an open trial in court, which was actually just a formality. The four men were convicted and sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane, a fine of twenty taels of silver, and imprisonment for six months.
When Jia Heming's wife Fang heard the news, she ran to the yamen early in the morning to see him and take care of him. She also squeezed in the crowd to watch the trial. When she saw what was happening, she cursed a few words and finally vented her anger.
Fang wiped her eyes, lowered her head, and hurriedly left the crowd and returned to the yamen.
Her man was injured so badly, these bastards deserve to die.
Fortunately, Lord and Madam Shao are both good people. When she arrived today, Madam Shao invited her to meet him, gave her many gifts, and reassured her that she would not have to worry, and that she would instruct the servants to arrange medicine and meals, and that the Lord would seek justice for her man and would never let him suffer in vain.
Mrs. Shao really kept her promise...
The onlookers were all in an uproar, and those with ulterior motives had to be more cautious. Lord Shao was really protecting the officials of the government...
Everyone in the major families knew that the Fan family must have done this, but they didn't expect the government to act so quickly! What happened last night was closed this morning.
It can be seen that this person was arrested overnight last night.
Lord Shao slapped the Fan family in the face but didn't give them any face at all!
Many people were also discussing whether the Fan family had gone crazy or not. How could the old lady of the Fan family be so confused!
The only person who could do such a thing is definitely that old lady.
