Chapter 408 Capturing the Fugitive
Good things like this don't happen often!
Therefore, the yamen runners who usually slacked off during work were running at the speed of the wind today. They were really risking their lives!
The girls in the courtyard had already loaded their bags and got into the carriages, lining up to set off. Two guards pulled open the gates...
The shining swords have been unsheathed, waiting for the suspects to fall into the trap!
The guard who opened the door was dumbfounded. He didn't expect these yamen runners to come so quickly!
They turned to look at the person who was in charge of the courtyard, and a woman's fierce voice came from behind:
"Now that things have come to this, the only way out is to fight for a way out! If we are caught, we will die. Fight!"
The yamen runners didn't expect that the person they encountered today would be a tough one.
In the past, as long as they wore this official uniform, people would bow and scrape to them wherever they went. But if they met a few troublemakers, they would immediately become timid as soon as they drew their swords.
There are desperadoes, but some people have worked as yamen runners their entire lives and have never encountered one.
Therefore, today has become an accident that they will never forget in their lives!
The guards in the courtyard picked up their weapons and started fighting with the yamen runners.
The girls and their godmother were escorted outside. Several carriages had already rushed out of the courtyard, and they were about to escape.
At this time, Kaiyang descended from the sky. He helped the yamen runners to defeat several skilled thugs, and the yamen runners survived.
The yamen runner, who was already at a disadvantage, turned the tide of the battle with the help of Kaiyang.
The security guards and thugs all avoided Kaiyang. After all, who would dare to fight with a master who would be beaten half to death as soon as they fought?
That man's fist was too powerful. He knocked one person away with one punch. No one could withstand such a beating.
The yamen runners were just stunned by these security thugs, and now they have finally gained the upper hand, can they still let these bastards go?
That must not be possible!
After tying up the people with ropes, they continued to hit the suspects, and they wanted to take revenge on the spot.
There were even cases where several people beat one person and they didn't stop until the person was on the verge of death.
It was because this thug was so skilled that he pinned the yamen runners to the ground and rubbed them.
How could such an embarrassing thing be spread out? Beat this guy to death.
As for those who helped them, they were all heroes, so naturally they were not worried about him. The heroes were the embodiment of justice, and would not bother with small fry like them.
In fact, Kaiyang disappeared after helping them reduce the combat power of the thugs.
He appeared beside the carriage of the fleeing people and broke the shaft with one kick. The broken shaft could not pull the carriage, so the carriage was paralyzed and unable to move forward.
Kaiyang kicked repeatedly, and the team of carriages could not escape.
I can only help up to this point. Kaiyang turned around and disappeared here, hiding his merits and fame.
When the yamen runners saw that the hero only did good deeds without leaving his name, they knew that he didn't care about these things.
They accepted this rare credit with peace of mind.
The women on the carriage also had their hands tied and were strung together for easier monitoring.
At this time, no one was so blind as to show sympathy to these women, as they were all suspects.
What's more, it was a woman's voice that gave the order to fight them to the death. The yamen runners were no fools as they had been handling cases for years.
Therefore, even when dealing with delicate girls, they were not soft-hearted at all. They would tie them up when necessary and scold them when necessary!
Absolutely no special treatment.
The girls had to walk back to the yamen on foot like the thugs, with the scorching sun on their heads and their faces uncovered. If they tried to complain or walked too slowly, they would be mercilessly whipped.
So now they just keep their heads down and keep going on their way, not daring to make any trouble anymore.
After all, they are so delicate and tender that they really can't withstand the whip.
In this way, the team of 48 people was escorted back safely.
Not a single suspect escaped. This achievement can definitely be boasted about in the government for most of my life.
Lord Lu was also shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many people hiding in that small courtyard.
The bailiff leading the team described the thrilling scene of catching the thief in vivid detail, and that guy was exaggerating to no end.
Lord Lu listened carefully, and finally suggested that Zeng Nuo must give great credit to the yamen runners who arrested the suspect today!
If his subordinates achieve outstanding results, it is all thanks to their superior, so why shouldn't he do the same?
The yamen runners should be grateful to the adults for promoting them, what a good thing.
They are living in harmony on one side, but in misery on the other side.
Mei Niang didn't expect that her godmother had been arrested before she was even finished being interrogated.
Moreover, the bailiffs had already said that when they arrived, the people in the courtyard had already formed a team and were ready to escape.
In other words, she was decisively abandoned by her godmother.
She was still working hard to exonerate them, but in the end she was ruthlessly abandoned?
How could Mei Niang be willing to accept this? She looked at her bound godmother with red eyes and asked:
"Godmother, you want to run away? What about me?" Just don't care?
The foster mother drooped her eyelids and said dejectedly: "You didn't escape at all." What are you still worried about?
Mei Niang: "What if I succeed in escaping? Then what? You guys continue to have fun and leave me behind to take the blame, right?"
The foster mother was already in a bad mood after being captured, and this damn girl was even more aggressive. When would it be her turn to stand over her head and show off her power?
So, the foster mother glared at Mei Niang impatiently and threatened in a low voice:
"Mei Niang, do you want to rebel against the heaven? If I can't be well, neither can you. Don't forget that you have always been my accomplice! You will be implicated in all the crimes I commit.
You'd better obey me, otherwise, I will make you pay for it!"
The anger that had just risen in Mei Niang's heart was scared away by her adoptive mother's threats.
She lowered her head obediently and acted like a quail. Qianniang gave her a disdainful look. She knew this would happen.
Lord Lu took advantage of the victory and detained the suspects separately, letting experienced detectives try them one by one, determined to solve this major case.
Why did it escalate into a major case?
Of course, the victims who were harmed by Mei Niang all jumped out to make accusations. Lord Lu didn't care how these people made the appointment and gathered together today.
He only knew that his chance to rise to prominence was beckoning.
Therefore, Lord Lu paid special attention to this case, and the subordinates worked harder when they saw that Lord Lu attached so much importance to it.
The result was that before the crowd had even dispersed, several major cases had already been solved.
That efficiency is unprecedented!
Who has ever seen that the trial here has not yet ended, but the person who was just arrested over there has confessed a lot of shocking information!
Lord Lu's mouth curled up in joy, and he relaxed during the trial. Since he already knew that they were involved in crimes, why should he be polite?
He refused to listen to Mei Niang's excuses. As long as she denied the crime, Lord Lu would order her to be tortured.
