477 Arrest Wen Zhong and bring him to justice (1 more)
The prefect of Jingzhao was shocked and walked a few steps in front of Chen Yan, "Class Shen, this is..."
"The person Wen Zhong killed that year."
Wen Zhong killed the person, so what is this?
"The Wen family's old house."
That's true.
The prefect of Jingzhao didn't care about greetings, and immediately asked the captain to call the coroner, "Take someone quietly and don't disturb anyone."
The captain left.
The prefect of Jingzhao walked to the dug hole, leaned over and looked at it in the moonlight, "Class Shen, please continue to help."
Chen Yan waved his hand, and several guards dug up carefully again, and more bones were dug out and placed aside.
Chen Yan's face was as gloomy as the night.
The prefect of Jingzhao seemed to feel his breath and was a little far away from him. He thought to himself that Wen Zhong should be in trouble, even if he had a father-in-law of the Minister of Revenue, it would be useless.
Only two skulls were dug out here, and the guards moved to another big tree and continued digging.
The coroner came with the head catcher and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Try it."
The prefect of Jingzhao ordered.
The coroner made two human figures with the bones. He almost lay on it and carefully checked it, but the moonlight was too dark and he couldn't see clearly.
"Sir, can you light a torch?"
The prefect of Jingzhao looked at Chen Yan and dug out the corpse to prove that Wen Zhong had committed evil deeds. Chen Yan did not speak for a long time, and he did not dare to easily mobilize the yamen runners to arrest people, let alone light a torch.
"Bang!"
The shovel in the guard's hand touched something, making a sound, attracting everyone's attention.
The guard took the shovel away, leaned over and pulled it a few times, touched something and took it out, shaking off the soil on it, which was a golden hairpin.
Before the guard could hand over, a figure flashed in front of him, and the golden hairpin in his hand had already reached Chen Yan's hand.
"Lighten the torch."
A torch was quickly lit.
Chen Yan held the golden hairpin tightly and slowly raised it. The word "Shen" engraved on the tail of the golden hairpin clearly reflected in Chen Yan's eyes.
This was the token of love he specially made in the most famous jewelry shop in the capital and gave to Xu Qingwan. She liked it very much and wore it on her head almost every day, probably the same was true that day.
Chen Yan held the golden hairpin tightly in his hand again, and his words were loud, like the cold wind of winter blowing into the heart of the prefect of Jingzhao. He couldn't help but tremble.
"The evidence is conclusive, what are the prefects waiting for?"
The prefect of Jingzhao did not delay any delay, "Captain Hu summoned everyone to arrest Wen Zhong and brought him to justice."
Wen Mansion.
Today is particularly quiet.
After several days of busyness, the servants in the mansion were very tired, and even the guards did not consciously doze.
Mrs. Wen and her two children also went to bed early, and the lights had already been turned off in the yard of Wen and Xu Ling'er.
Only Wen Zhong, who had been uneasy since last night, continued until now, always felt that something was going to happen, and he went to the study on the excuse that something had to be dealt with.
Sitting on the chair in the study at this moment, I was not sleepy at all.
A loud noise suddenly came from outside. He shuddered and sat upright, shouting, "What's wrong?"
"master……"
The janitor rolled in and crawled in, "Beijing, Beijing, Beijing..."
Before he finished speaking, Captain Hu led his men in and waved his hand, "Take Wen Zhong down."
Several yamen runners rushed forward and stopped Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong was shocked, "What are you doing?"
No one paid attention to him and just escorted him out.
The housekeeper stumbled and ran over. He had already fallen asleep. When he heard someone coming into the mansion to capture his master, he was scared. He grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on his body and ran over, without having time to tie the buttons.
"What are you doing? Our master..."
Before he finished speaking, Captain Hu's token had been held in front of him, "Jingzhao Mansion dared to obstruct people from being imprisoned."
Jingzhao Mansion?
The butler's mind roared.
"Go and tell your wife."
Wen Zhong struggled and shouted.
The housekeeper stumbled to the main courtyard, "Madam, it's not good, the master has been taken away."
Mrs. Wen Zhong was already sleeping uneasy, and she almost lost half her life when she heard this shout, "What, what's going on?"
The housekeeper gasped and his voice trembled, "I don't know either."
"Hurry, send someone to tell my dad."
The housekeeper stumbled out.
...
The Wen family was in chaos, but Song Wanyue slept well and slept until dawn.
As usual, I went to the back garden for a walk, and moved my body. Halfway through the way, I happened to meet Xu Yan.
Xu Yan didn't sleep all night, and he was waiting for news about Chen Yan. But Shen Yan has not sent anyone to him until now. He can't wait anymore and is about to go to Chen Mansion.
"uncle!"
"It just so happens that you can accompany me to Chen Mansion."
"Now?"
"Now."
Xu Yan couldn't wait for a moment, so he called the coachman to get the carriage and go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
There were already pedestrians on the road, and they were talking enthusiastically.
"Have you heard that? Mr. Wen was suddenly arrested in the middle of the night last night."
"I heard that, do you guess have found conclusive evidence?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise Jingzhao Mansion can come to catch people in the middle of the night?"
...
"Stop!"
Xu Yan suddenly spoke.
The coachman hurriedly tightened the reins, stopped the carriage, Xu Yan lifted the curtain and looked at the people who were talking just now, "Is what you said just now true?"
The few people didn't expect the carriage to stop suddenly, and the people in the car would ask them, but they didn't dare to answer for a while.
"Don't be afraid, I just happened to hear what you said just now, and I want to ask if it's true or false?"
One of them was more courageous. After looking carefully, the carriage did not look like it was from an official family. Then he dared to answer him, "Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, you can inquire with other people. Most people in the capital will know."
Xu Yan dropped off the curtain and "turned back home."
Since so many people have seen it, it must be true, which means that Chen Yan really found the body in the backyard of the Wen family. He had to go home and take his younger sister to Jingzhao Mansion. This time, he said that he could not let Wen Zhong get rid of his crime.
"Uncle should be calm. After taking the person in Jingzhao Mansion, he will naturally interrogate him clearly. With Wen Zhong's personality, he will not admit it so easily. It will be useless if we go now."
"There is already conclusive evidence, and he can't admit it. The prison of Jingzhao Mansion is not a decoration."
"So, let's just calm down and wait. Once there is a result, the Jingzhao Prefecture Prefect will tell us that what we have to do now is to go home and tell the family members about the good news so that they can be happy."
...
"Damn it!"
The emperor threw the memorial on the Dragon Case and said, "The Prefect of Jingzhao."
"I'm here."
