Of course, this is in the south. If it is in the north, the Central Plains, the martial arts forces there have a long history and are much stronger.
Because the south was only developed in the last few hundred years and was dominated by the imperial court, it naturally would not allow the emergence of sects and gangs with deep roots.
But what is truly powerful are the thousand-year-old families in Jiangnan. These families also migrated from the north, and their power is even greater in Jiangnan.
As the garrison was deployed, they were well-equipped and dressed in silver armor, and the tall flags fluttered in the wind.
The army galloped through the busy streets, causing countless people to give way in fear and quietly hide in their houses, fearing that another battle would break out there.
However, the Canghai Gang was no match for the army. Its core disciples were surrounded by the army, leaving no escape.
The leader of the Canghai Gang wanted to take action, but was caught by General Gu in an instant.
The leader of the Canghai Gang is also a master, and can be considered a strong man. It is possible for him to break through the military formation in a city with such complex terrain.
But unfortunately, there are stronger people in the army than him.
As the gang leader was captured, those disciples who dared to resist were shot to death with crossbows.
When everything was settled in the various courtyards of the Canghai Gang, less than 100,000 taels of silver were found.
The silver is shiny and has no signs of use.
They are all the same as the silver brought by Hou Xiangyang, so I think they are also official silver.
"You said this money is not yours?"
Zhao Li looked at the Canghai Gang leaders kneeling below, slammed the gavel, and shouted, "Is there anyone else who has nothing better to do than leave money in your yard?
Then why is it all your Canghai Gang's territory? No one else was affected?"
"Someone framed me..." The leader of the Canghai Gang did not beg for mercy. He knew that begging for mercy would be useless.
A master is still somewhat proud.
"......" Zhao Li naturally knew that there was something fishy about this matter, and there were many doubts...
For example, what about the other silver?
But I don’t have much time left, and there is no other evidence except them.
If he wanted to settle this case, the Canghai Gang in front of him was the best opportunity.
"This Hou Xiangyang is also a member of your Canghai Gang, and he was there before the official silver was robbed. How do you explain this?"
Zhao Li stared at the man and asked again.
"I just owe his father a favor..." The leader of the Canghai Gang explained again, but such words were inevitably a little powerless.
"Then why were you not in the city during the days when the official silver was stolen?" Zhao Li asked again.
"We received a report that the Iron Palm Gang leader was injured... We want to take his share.
These things have been calculated by those behind the scenes, please understand clearly."
The leader of the Canghai Gang spat out a mouthful of blood and roared viciously, "It was either the Haisha Gang or the Tiezhang Gang who harmed me.
The robbery of the government silver is also related to them. We often have conflicts with each other."
At this moment, the leader of the Canghai Gang was like a crazy water ghost, and began to frantically drag people into the water.
Zhao Li didn't say anything either. There were too many coincidences in this matter.
Unfortunately, I don’t need anyone else, and I only need one person to take the blame.
I even invited General Gu, a great master. If I am told that I have brought the wrong person, where will I put my face?
He still needs to fight for the throne. His father, the emperor, is obsessed with alchemy and immortality, and he has finally given him a chance.
This first case must be done beautifully.
“Your Highness, Your Highness…I have given in.
More than a dozen disciples from the Canghai Gang have already claimed that they were responsible."
Gu Shenbo was covered in blood, presumably from the members of the Canghai Gang. At this moment, he was holding several signed indictments.
The indictment was also covered in blood, with bloody handprints pressed on it, soaking the black and white paper.
"What?" Zhao Li heard this, looked at the bloody crime, and said to the leader of the Canghai Gang.
"Ahem..." The Canghai Gang leader gave a few wry laughs, but there was nothing he could do. "What a brilliant detective! A confession under torture!"
How could these ordinary gang members possibly withstand the methods used by the constables from the Six Gates?
When tortured, there is naturally nothing to say. Whatever you say is what it comes down to. You can only ask for a quick death.
"It doesn't matter. Whether you admit it or not, the silver found in your gang's yard and the evidence are enough."
Zhao Li naturally didn't want to continue because it really had no effect.
This was the first mission he had taken on, so naturally he wanted to leave a good impression on his father.
"God has doomed me..."
As soon as the leader of the Canghai Gang finished speaking, he vomited blood and died.
Not wanting to be insulted, he used his internal energy to shatter his heart meridians.
"The leader of the Canghai Gang robbed government silver and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Arrest the others and report them to the Ministry of Justice."
When Zhao Li saw this scene, he didn't say much and just waved his hand to conclude the matter.
At this moment, Constable Gu also breathed a sigh of relief. The Eighth Prince had no intention of investigating the matter further.
As long as the report is written nicely, there will be no problem.
After a few more days, the storm that had stirred up Yangzhou seemed to have subsided.
At this moment, Zhao Li also landed back in Zhao Que's yard.
"Congratulations, Eighth Brother, for completing this mission perfectly."
Zhao Que said with a smile, hinting at something.
