The several aristocratic and powerful people around Cheng He panicked when they knew that Xiang Xiaoxian was going to use them as a target.
They all asked Cheng He for help.
Cheng He: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just..."
“I really can’t do anything…”
"If he wants to use you as a target, there's nothing I can do."
"You should check your hands to see if there is anything bad and clean it up immediately."
"Try to distance yourself from anything you can, and don't get yourself involved too much."
After hearing this, several powerful families understood what Cheng He meant.
It doesn't matter to them.
When Cheng He had something to do, he would be very friendly with them and treat them like brothers.
Now that something has happened, are we going to get rid of them?
No!
impossible!
How can it be so good?!
If they were caught by Xiang Xiaoxian, the first thing they would do would be to drag Cheng He into the water!
They can't live, and Cheng He can't escape!
Several powerful families were still somewhat unwilling to accept this.
"Are you just going to sit there and watch Xiang Xiaoxian mess with us?"
"If we get caught, what good will happen to you?"
"Even if you think about us, you should also think about yourself, right?"
Cheng He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this a threat to him?
He has always done things cleanly and never left any handle in the hands of these people.
He is not afraid even if threatened.
Cheng He pretended to think for a while, then said.
"You are right. We are one after all. We prosper together and suffer together."
"You guys go back and prepare well first, I'll think of a solution."
Several noble families said, "Okay, then let's go back and deal with things quickly."
"If there is any news, you must inform us in time."
After being comforted by Cheng He, several powerful families left with peace of mind.
After they left, Cheng He's face turned dark and ugly.
That night.
A huge fire burned down the study rooms and houses of several wealthy and powerful families.
Many people died.
Xiang Xiaoxian also tracked down the clues and immediately arrested several powerful families.
After an overnight interrogation, it was determined that they were the culprits who had smashed shops for no reason, beaten shop owners and employees, and robbed jewelry in recent days.
In the past few years, Cheng He also pinned the blame on these powerful families for crimes such as occupying shops.
That fire destroyed the evidence in the hands of these powerful families.
All burned up.
Even if they wanted to pull Cheng He and Xiang Xiaoxian into the water, they couldn't do anything.
He was also forced to confess by Xiang Xiaoxian.
There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body, and he was only breathing his last breath.
But most of the cases were solved in just one night.
Xiang Xiaoxian was very happy.
If His Majesty had not been afraid of beating them to death, he would have questioned the authenticity of the case.
Xiang Xiaoxian really wanted to beat all the powerful people from the aristocratic families to death with a stick.
This way there will be no evidence.
After all, he is the only one who has the final say.
Early in the morning.
Cheng He ordered the bailiffs to drag several people covered in blood onto a torture cart.
Then he took a carriage to the palace gate.
"stop!"
"The palace gate is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!"
As the carriage approached the palace gate.
The soldiers guarding the palace gate issued a warning with stern expressions.
Cheng He quickly got off the carriage and spoke to the general in a flattering manner.
"This young man...I am here on the orders of His Majesty to investigate the merchant's case."
"Now that the thief has been apprehended, I have come to report this to Your Majesty."
"Please help me inform you."
The soldier glanced at Cheng He, then looked at the execution cart following behind the carriage.
Then he said, "Wait on the side."
After the general finished speaking, he ordered someone to report it.
Cheng He was standing right next to them.
The bloody men on the execution cart were breathing in more than out.
The onlookers followed the execution cart from the government office all the way.
They all stood not far away, pointing at the execution vehicle.
"Oh, I don't know what these people did wrong. Why are they beating so hard?"
"Yeah, look at the blood, it's all flowing to the ground."
"It's really creepy to look at...hiss..."
There were several merchants who had received the news long ago and rushed over to check it out.
He saw Cheng He standing next to the palace gate, and then looked at the people in the execution cart.
After identifying their identities from their bloodstained faces.
The merchant quickly went to tell Jiang Xiang and other merchants.
Jiang Xiang: "What?!"
"You said Cheng He captured several powerful people from aristocratic families?"
"Still locked in the torture cart, covered in blood?"
"Now they have gone to the palace gate?"
The merchant who came back from the palace gate said, "Yes, Merchant Jiang."
"I saw it with my own eyes. I would recognize those powerful nobles even if they turned into ashes!"
“That’s them!”
"I heard there was a fire in their house last night and a huge fire broke out."
"It burned down most of the house, and killed quite a few people."
ah?
There was a fire last night?
Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others all went to bed early last night.
Sleep till dawn.
I didn't know that the houses of those wealthy and powerful families had caught fire last night.
Thinking back to yesterday, Xiang Xiaoxian was summoned to the palace by His Majesty and asked to investigate the case thoroughly.
Jiang Xiang thought, could it be that Xiang Xiaoxian did this?
