They can live patiently in this village for three years at a time. And it was so well disguised that the villagers thought that this family only lived on the meager income from making umbrellas.

It can be seen that they must have been trained in this area. It's hard to guarantee that they won't grit their teeth, and even if they don't recruit workers, it's hard to guarantee that they won't collude to make up another name.

Therefore, you can't disbelieve what they confessed after being interrogated, but you can't believe all of them. Of course, it would be great if there was something else to confirm from the side, so Li Xie easily ambushed around here.

The kidnappers will definitely have someone to get the ransom today, and Cao Ying is entangled with them in the city, for the sake of prudence, that or those kidnappers who have received the ransom will definitely not return here directly, but will walk around the city.

He won't return until he's sure no one is following. Li Xie rushed here immediately after Cao Ying left, and at around 11:00 noon, Li Xie had already determined that there was something wrong with the family. Then he gave the order to arrest the family, and the process of arrest was smooth, almost within a few minutes.

Li Xie came in and searched for a while, and it was only a little past 12:00 noon. The sun is still in the middle of the sky, and there is still a long time before the closure of the Luotianfu Zen Gate. So Li Xie needs enough time to arrange all this.

At around 3:00 p.m., the results of the interrogation had already been announced. According to the confessions of those four or five people, their group was Tufuzi. Because it was discovered that there was a tomb left by an official of the previous dynasty in the back mountain, and the official who inquired about it after many inquiries had accumulated countless fortunes in front of him. However, when the house was raided, no extra silver taels were found.

It is even rumored that these silver taels that were greedy for him were buried with him. Since it is because of this aspect of craftsmanship and the intention of making money, this is the partnership to come and settle here. After three years of hard work, they have found the exact location of the tomb, and they have dug up the earth but have not been able to dig through.

When Li Xie and the others surrounded them, they thought that the matter had been revealed, so they took a risk in order not to be caught, and picked up their swords and broke out.

The explanation is very reasonable, although the Jin Dynasty punished the tomb robbers lightly, but if the tomb is found and has already started, the lightest will be enslaved for three years, and the heavier may be ten years. So it makes sense that they would take a risk when they were discovered, pick up their swords and try to break out.

Dark Twenty also inquired with the people in the village, and there was indeed a rumor on this mountain: there was an official from the previous dynasty who was buried there, and the official in the rumor was indeed greedy for a lot of silver.

For the sake of prudence, these four or five people also found the place where they were dug up. The entrance is indeed old earth, not like it has just been dug up in the past few days.

It can be said that Dark Twenty is almost convinced of their statements, but Li Xie scoffs at their statements. It sounds good, it took three years to rob a tomb, and it was not the emperor's tomb that was stolen. Three years is that long?

If it took so long for a real tomb robber to steal the grave of an ordinary official, I am afraid they would have starved to death long ago. Because no one can be sure how many things will be buried in the coffin after it is opened.

It is very likely that after three years of time, after opening the coffin, there is nothing in it, and then the bamboo basket will be empty? This is something that no one with a little brain would do.

Just relying on rumors, and the rumored wealth is not so big that it can make people completely lose their minds. So what Li Xie said to them, he really didn't believe it at all.

But it doesn't matter, watching the sun slowly turn west, Li Xie believes that his evidence is already on the way, and he will be caught soon. So Li Xie is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry to expose the lies of these people so quickly.

Kidnapping tickets for children is at least ten years old. You just found a three-year-old crime and put it on your head, and then you got it.

When the sun has completely set, there is a slow ox cart on the path of this small mountain village. A middle-aged man walked into the village with an ox cart, and because of the morning's incident, the villagers avoided the middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged men didn't care, because they didn't have much contact with these villagers in their usual days. Many times when he walked on the road, these villagers would not greet him, although it was far from today's situation, but he did not think much about it.

After passing through the village, he drove in the direction of his home. Because his home was at the very edge of the village, he had to walk nearly a hundred steps to his home after walking through the places where most of the people in the village lived.

But even this distance of nearly 100 paces feels quite unusual today. He couldn't say what was strange, but he always felt that something was different from usual.

Because the ox cart behind him was still stacked with the silver taels extorted today. As the so-called thief has a weak heart, even if he didn't notice that something was wrong, it was just a feeling, he immediately grabbed the bull's head, turned around and walked in another direction.

Li Xie watched silently from the middle-aged man's sight. He saw that the villagers in the distance were avoiding the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man pulling the ox cart was so similar to the image he imagined the person who went to get the ransom. And the ox cart pulled by the middle-aged man is also quite weird, obviously there are only a few sacks of sacks on the top of the cart, but the ruts are unusually deep. Moreover, at the beginning, it was clear that this middle-aged man was coming in this direction, but he reversed direction at the most critical moment.

Considering all kinds of factors, when watching the middle-aged man pull the bull's head and go in other directions, Li Xie gave an order to the secret guard beside him to arrest him.

Sure enough, when I saw more than a dozen secret guards rushing towards me. The middle-aged man didn't even care about the ox cart he was pulling, so he ran away. But it's a pity that he's just an ordinary person, how can his speed be comparable to the speed of the Dark Guard. This didn't run a dozen paces before he was caught by the secret guards.

Li Xie came directly to the ox cart, took a few sacks from it, and pulled away a layer of straw on top of the ox cart, but nothing was missing. After thinking for a moment and observing the ox cart again, Li Xie directly reached out and cut off a wooden plank, only to see that it was covered with gold and silver. Good guy, an ordinary ox cart even has a dark compartment.

Oxcart? This is different from the carriage that Li Xie thought. There is no place for the ox cart to be covered, and when the ransom money is stolen and replaced, if there is nothing else to cover it, it will not be able to do anything at all.

But on second thought, it may be because the ox cart has nothing else to cover, so when they see that the ox cart is empty and there are only a few straws, others will not suspect anything.

I can't run away now, and the right amount of gold and silver has already confirmed that it was this group of people who kidnapped Cao Zhixiang.

The person has been caught, but Li Xie is not happy at all. Now the kidnapped group of people are already here, what about Cao Zhixiang? Could it be that the ticket was torn up?

"Brother Twenty, I want to listen to the truth." Li Xie didn't plan to return to the yamen either. pressed this group of people, and directly entered their home, so that the dark twenty began to interrogate. Li Xie believed that even if the conditions here were poor, they would have a way to let themselves hear the truth.

He also sent someone to inform the Cao family, saying that the person had been arrested and asked them to come and take a look. Before the interrogation came out, Cao Ying had already rushed over first.

Cao Ying, who rushed over with light skills, only then entered the house, and before she asked anything, she opened her mouth and shouted first: "Xiaoxiang!" He looked left and right, but he didn't see the figure he wanted to see. Only then did he open his mouth to Li Xie and asked, "Didn't you catch someone?" What about Xiao Xiang? ”

Cao Ying believed that Li Xie would not lie to herself, let alone joke about such a thing as catching a kidnapper, so the first time she didn't see her brother, Cao Ying thought of the worst-case scenario: her brother was torn up.
