"yes."
Lightning took the portrait and left.
The auction is still going on.
Chen Yixiao bought three items.
Song Yaoyao also wanted to bid for two items, not because she liked the auction items very much, but because she simply wanted to contribute to raising military funds.
Song Yaoyao bought a black cloak, which was a suitable color for Ning Waiyi.
Finally, Song Yaoyao bought another jade bracelet and gave it to Grandma Ning.
At this time, Lightning came back and said:
"Your Highness, all the people have been arrested and imprisoned in the county jail."
"Um."
The auction ended in the afternoon and raised 500,000 taels of silver for military expenses.
Downstairs, Zhang Xinwan also bought two items. Huai Yunzhi wanted Zhang Xinwan to register these two items under the name of their Huai family, but Zhang Xinwan refused.
Huai Yunzhi had no choice but to pay for two items himself.
As soon as the auction ended, Huai Yunzhi waved his sleeves and left without waiting for Zhang Xinwan.
Zhang Xinwan already knew what kind of person Huai Yunzhi was, and her heart was calm, but she still had to pretend to be very sad, lest her maid Xiao Cui notice something and tell her the truth. How would she collect evidence in the future then?
When the auction was over, there were many people, so Song Yaoyao asked the secret guard to take the opportunity to slip Zhang Xinwan the evidence of the Huai family's murder for money.
Zhang Xinwan felt something stuffed into her hand. Although she was surprised, she didn't say anything.
There were too many people. When Zhang Xinwan wanted to find out who had stuffed the things into her pocket, the person had already blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Zhang Xinwan returned to the Zhang Mansion, went to her own boudoir, closed the door, and then began to look at the evidence.
Zhang Xinwan looked at the evidence in her hand and tears fell from her eyes.
At the end of the evidence, it was also written that the second in command of this gang of bandits had been arrested and detained in the county government office, and they would be brought to court for interrogation soon.
Zhang Xinwan immediately went to find Jiao Xingsheng and showed him the note. The two decided to keep quiet and wait until they went to the county government office to inquire about the matter the next day.
The next day, Zhang Xinwan and Jiao Xisheng went to the county government office.
After inquiring, it was found that the second-in-command of the bandit gang and his men were arrested, and were brought to court for interrogation a day later.
A day later, Zhang Xinwan and Jiao Xisheng went to the county government office early, and Song Yaoyao and others also went.
At first, Lu Tieniu and his men refused to admit it. But after being tortured, they couldn't bear it anymore and confessed first.
Seeing that his men had confessed, Lu Tieniu also admitted it.
They told how they had robbed passers-by, and they repeatedly emphasized that they only robbed money and did not kill people.
Zhang Xinwan stepped forward, knelt down, and said:
“My lord, these bandits are lying.
Sir, I want to sue these bandits. My dear, not only was his property robbed, but he was also killed by these bandits.
Please make me a 㹏."
Lu Tieniu thought for a moment and said:
“There were so many people, and we only killed one person.
We didn't intend to kill that man originally, but someone told us that he was rich, had connections, and was vindictive. If we didn't kill him, he would bring reinforcements to kill us."
County Magistrate Liu asked, "Who was the person who told you these words? What did he look like? Do you remember him?"
"Remember.
It was such a coincidence that we came to Hanguan City this time. We met that person and followed him.
We saw him enter the Huai house.
We heard the doorman of Huai's house call him Manager Mu."
County Magistrate Liu immediately sent people to arrest several male officials of Huai Mansion and all the managers of Huai Mansion with the surname Mu and brought them to the county government office.
