Chapter 568: Surrounding the Mansion and Arresting People

Ying Jiu went ahead to capture Magistrate Wu, who was a key figure and could not afford any mistakes.

In the early morning of that day, before everyone had fully woken up, the gates of several houses in Shu County were surrounded by soldiers with knives.

It makes people panic.

Even the stall owners who were halfway open at the morning market were frightened and closed their stalls early, fearing that the disaster would affect ordinary people like them.

Then, from the besieged mansions came the earth-shaking cries of weeping, cursing, and fighting.

Anyway, there are all kinds of situations, and all kinds of living beings are experienced to the fullest at this moment.

There were even people who were fast asleep and were pulled out of bed with their naked buttocks.

Some people knew that their family was doomed, their faces turned pale, their legs became weak, and they trembled constantly.

There were also some who cried and made a lot of noise.

Some people didn't know what was happening and thought it was an invasion by foreigners.

Some people also tried to avoid the arrest by using his relationship with Magistrate Wu as an excuse.

Unfortunately, they are facing people who only know how to follow orders and don’t care about your relationship with the prefect.

They just arrest people and that's it.

There are also people who complain and fight with each other.

"We are all innocent, we did nothing, really, I did nothing.

If you have any questions, just ask my elder and second brothers; they will definitely know the answer.

I was on the fringes, not exposed to any core issues. They deliberately avoided me, seriously, I'm not kidding."

This guy is smart.

But, so what? You enjoy the benefits and glory brought by the family, but you have to share the responsibility when something happens.

There were also those who secretly hid children and money.

There were also people busy destroying various evidence and letters. In short, it was very lively.

Of course, those who surrounded the mansion to arrest people were also on guard against the other party destroying evidence.

So the first stop after besieging the mansion was to go straight to the study and start looking for various evidence and letters.

Magistrate Wu was caught by Ying Jiu in his study.

When this man saw Yingjiu grabbing him, he shouted that he would make the other party pay, and threatened Yingjiu on the grounds that he was an official appointed by the court.

Ying Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and let him chatter endlessly. He was really annoyed by the noise and just gave him some muscle softening powder.

It calmed down in an instant.

The main core members of Magistrate Wu's family were soon captured and brought before Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi didn't interrogate everyone, but just locked them up separately.

After receiving the signal, the people who stayed in the inn brought the people with them to the villa where Shen Ruyi was.

After receiving the signal to act, the two lords Huang and Lu, who were waiting outside the city, also led their men into the city.

As soon as I entered the city, I heard that the King of Donghai had directly raided the five largest and most powerful families here.

Isn't this just poking a hole in the sky?

Lord Lu shuddered upon hearing this. It turned out that the title of the Prince of Confiscation of Property by the King of Donghai was not earned for nothing.

This speed is too fast. I thought they would wait until our group entered the city before making some plans and making further arrangements.

Who could have imagined that it would happen so quickly?

They raided so many companies, but it's unclear what kind of evidence they have.

General Huang was full of regret, wondering if the King of Donghai had forgotten his existence.

Otherwise, why didn't he do it himself? This opportunity is so rare, and it's a ready-made achievement.

Before they could think any more, someone announced, "The prince has ordered you to begin the follow-up work of the confiscation."

Before noon, all the core personnel of these prefectures were gathered in this villa.

There are more than 30 people.

The rest of the marginalized people were directly locked up in the government jail.

Besides, Magistrate Wu was quite arrogant and thought he had nothing to worry about.

As long as we have our own strong backer in everything, the sky will not fall, and we will not know what fear is.

It was not until Shen Ruyi had someone pour a basin of cold water on the third son of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion to wake him up that she felt a little scared.

The third young master, who had just been awakened by the splashing, cursed angrily: "You are such a slave! Who splashed me with water? Drag him out and chop him into pieces!"

Shen Ruyi only said: "Another pot."

"Yes."

Then there was a loud splash, and the third young master was completely drenched.

The last time I splashed him, it was only on his face, and it was a small area.

This time it was a big one, and even my upper body was soaked.

Shen Ruyi asked: "Are you sober now?"

"How dare you, how dare you treat me like this? Do you know who I am?

You'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I will tear you into pieces.

Hurry, I order you to let me go quickly, otherwise I will make you pay for it."

Shen Ruyi leaned back in her chair and said lazily:

"Really? Are you that amazing? I really don't know who you are.

How about this, you come and introduce yourself to everyone.

Also, when you are in a weak position, you can suffer less if you act less and threaten less.

It's a pity that you can't understand human language at all."

"I am the third son of the Pingxi Palace, who dares to touch me?

If you don’t believe me, ask Magistrate Wu. He knows my true identity.

Magistrate Wu, please say something and let him release me, or I will make you suffer..."

Shen Ruyi was amused by what she heard. She liked dealing with such second-generation people, who were young and energetic, straightforward, and honest.

He deliberately said: "Oh, the third son of the Pingxi Palace? But who can prove that you are the third son of someone else's palace?

You must be bragging. This place is quite far away from the fiefdom of Prince Pingxi. How did you get here?

Also, why do you have to pretend to be the third son of the Pingxi Wang family when you can pretend to be anyone else?

Aren't you afraid that the King of Pingxi will chop off your head? You may be young, but you're quite courageous, even daring to commit a capital crime.

The fact that Magistrate Wu didn't say anything means that your identity is definitely fake. You actually dared to pretend to be a royal relative, which is an even greater crime.

It would be fine if I killed you now."

"I really wasn't pretending, really, I was wrong, I shouldn't have scolded you, please let me go.

Just take whatever you like here. I have absolutely no objection. Really, I swear, I won't pursue you anymore.

I really am the third son of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion. There is my exclusive token under my pillow, which can prove my true identity.

That cannot be faked. Only the young men and women in our palace have it. No one else has it.

I'm not lying to you, seriously. If you don't believe me, ask Wu Yuanda. He knows everything about this."

The third young master always thought that he had just encountered bandits who were attracted by the silver and property in his hands.

At this moment, Prefect Wu was completely dumbfounded. When he heard the words "King of Pingxi", he didn't even blink.

What does this mean? It means these people are not afraid of the King of Pingxi at all. Their hearts are sinking again and again. If they don't get it right this time, they're completely finished.

He began to feel a little regretful. How could he have gotten on the pirate ship of that old thief, King Pingxi, in a daze?
