The well-equipped soldiers took advantage of the night to surround several mansions in the city, and the torches raised high clearly illuminated the serious and cold expressions on everyone's faces.

Jiang Luo carried a long knife at his waist, his sharp gaze fell on the closed gate in front of him, and he only made a gesture to the people behind him, and some soldiers took the initiative to step forward and quickly kicked the vermilion gate open.

"Remember, you are only allowed to arrest people, not to hurt people." After Jiang Luo gave the order, countless soldiers rushed in, ready to wipe out all the nets in the house.

The peace in Meng's house was broken by a group of soldiers who suddenly broke in, and the people who were still waiting for the return of the Meng family master and the mistress who had gone to the capital were frightened.

Many people immediately ran outside the house, trying to follow the instructions of the lord's house before leaving, and pass on what was happening in the house.

However, before their action began, they were already firmly controlled by the soldiers, not to mention people, and the Meng family couldn't even run out of a mouse tonight.

Not only the Meng family, but the rest of the official mansions in the city that were involved with Meng Changhe were completely and completely controlled by the soldiers tonight.

It was only because the Meng family was a big place and there were many people that Jiang Luo brought people here, also to control the situation.

After all, they deliberately chose to come and arrest people in the middle of the night, so as not to alarm the people in the city.

Perhaps the next day, the officials arranged by Emperor Wei to take over the post of prefect will be able to arrive, and then the entire Yuezhou will be able to survive this major corruption case in peace.

Jiang Luo's side is still arresting people in full swing, and Su Hengyu and Li Wei are cleaning up the strange cases in Yuezhou over the years in the yamen.

Now a full month has passed since the two came to Yuezhou to search for evidence.

In the past month, they continued to find evidence that could convict Meng Changhe, and by the way, they also dug up the evil deeds done by the most trusted officials under Meng Changhe.

After all this evidence was sent to Emperor Wei's desk through secret channels, the emperor, who was in the prime of life and had no less ambition, immediately used thunderous means, not only transferred troops from the vicinity of Yuezhou, but also directly ordered his cronies to come and take over all the affairs of Yuezhou.

After getting Emperor Wei's will, Su Hengyu and the others became more careful.

They knew that Emperor Wei might leak the news, and once what the two of them did in Yuezhou was exposed, they would definitely usher in a second batch of assassinations.

Emperor Wei's movements were very fast, and Su Hengyu and the two were careful enough.

But even so, just as the soldiers were about to enter Yuezhou and prepare to arrest those officials and Meng Changhe's family, the inn where Su Hengyu and Li Wei were located was suddenly set on fire.

If it weren't for Su Hengyu's constant vigilance, he would have dispersed the guards around him and lived in the homes of the people nearby, keeping an eye on the passers-by at all times.

They probably didn't notice that the young kid would help the assassins set fire to the inn because of the lure of a few pieces of candy.

Fortunately, things were controlled quickly, and only a corner of the inn was burned, so Yan Shen led people to extinguish the fire.

As for the foreign assassins with unfamiliar faces, as well as the children who didn't know anything and just helped out when they thought it was fun, they were controlled by Jiang Luo and the others as soon as possible.

No one knew the real reason for the fire in the inn, and the second group of assassins who were arrested once again made Su Hengyu pour the medicine, tied it up, and sent it to the capital.

After this incident, Li Wei once again made a hard note to Cui Dang's side.

When the soldiers finally came to Yuezhou, Jiang Luo unceremoniously brought people to the door in the middle of the night and arrested all the people who should be arrested.

As for the father and son of the Xu family, not long after they fell asleep, they were woken up again.

The father and son were startled, thinking that the dog officers were about to interrogate them again.

In the past month, because Su Hengyu came over from time to time to deliver bribes, although the life of the two of them was not much better, they were able to eat enough in the end, and they would not be dragged out to be tortured every day.

Accustomed to this kind of day when they would not be taken to suffer in the middle of the night, the vigilance of the two dissipated a lot.

When they saw that they were awakened by a group of soldiers in armor and knives, their sleepiness was instantly scared away.

Just when they were worried about whether Su Hengyu's plan had failed, and whether Meng Changhe's people were going to come over and kill them, they saw those soldiers smile and said: "Don't be afraid, you two, we are all people sent by Your Majesty, now that the matter in the city has been resolved, you can go home." ”

This picture had been imagined countless times in Xu Changzhi's mind, but when this scene really happened, both father and son couldn't believe it.

They were stunned and taken out of their cells by the soldiers, who returned all the clothes and money bags they had taken from them.

The soldier also said, "The money in your money bags has been used by the officials of the yamen, and we will let them return it in a few days." ”

"No, no, no, this is just something outside the body, our father and son can leave alive, it is already a blessing to Your Majesty, and it is also a blessing to you." Father Xu hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that if he spoke slowly, he would make this group of people unhappy.

But his words are not false, the two have endured the torture for almost two months, and now they have nothing to ask for in their hearts except to go back alive to reunite with their families.

The soldiers knew what the two were thinking, and quickly released them out of the palace.

When the father and son of the Xu family helped each other out of the gate of the mansion, they saw the more familiar person in front of the familiar carriage at a glance.

"Master, Changzhi!" Mrs. Xu rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged her husband and son tightly.

She could feel the protruding bones on their bodies, and she could smell the sour smell of their bathing in a long time.

But at this moment, Mrs. Xu didn't dislike it at all, and she only felt distressed in her heart.

"Let's go, let's go home, I've boiled a pot of soup early, just waiting for you to go back and drink." Mrs. Xu didn't say a word, but just took her husband and son by the hand and walked to the carriage of the Xu family.

Father Xu and Xu Changzhi endured their excitement, and also followed Mrs. Xu forward, without saying a word.

They were worried that as long as they spit out a word, Mrs. Xu would hear the crying in the words.

After the Xu family left, the soldiers in charge of the matter quickly reported the news to Li Wei and Su Hengyu.

The two of them now have a long table in front of them, on which are the expenditures of Yuezhou's taxes and various imperial court appropriations over the years.

They've been spending most of the night on these things, and it's time to get dizzy.

Hearing the news, Su Hengyu's face looked a little better: "It's really a good thing that their family can be reunited safely." ”

"That's not all." Li Wei continued, "Your Majesty knows the merits of the Xu family's father and son, and the reward given to them is already on the way to Yuezhou!" ”
