Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1073

Faced with the ferocious yamen runners and Jinyiwei, these wealthy businessmen and gentry had no power to resist.

Of course, some of them thought about resisting and escaping, but they became frightened when they saw the shining steel knife.

With the knife at their necks, everyone was more obedient than the other, fearing that they would be killed if they were not careful.

In the end, as expected, all these people were taken to the yamen's prison cells by the yamen runners and imprisoned.

That night, in order to prevent these people from causing trouble, Zhu Zongshan arranged most of the yamen runners to guard the cells.

At the same time, Zhang Hai, who went to the garrison to mobilize troops, also brought three people to the post station to meet Wei Wu.

"Master, this is the commander of Suzhou Guard, Lord Tong Wei, and two captains!"

As soon as he saw Wei Wu, Zhang Hai immediately introduced the three people around him, and then the three people immediately bowed and saluted.

As the commander, Tong Wei immediately spoke while saluting:

"Your humble servant, Tong Wei, Commander of the Suzhou Guards, greets His Excellency the Duke of Zhenguo!"

"Ok!"

Wei Wu nodded, raised his hand to signal Tong Wei to stand up, and then asked:

"How are things arranged?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Tong Wei did not dare to hesitate and immediately began to report.

"Reporting to you, sir, I have already followed Guard Zhang's instructions and sent people to the homes of those rebels to capture all those involved."

"Those outside the city may be brought back a little slower due to the distance, but I believe those inside the city will be brought back soon."

As he spoke, Tong Wei took out the imperial edict given to him by Zhang Hai from his arms and handed it to Wei Wu with both hands.

Wei Wu took the imperial edict and put it away, then looked at Tong Wei again.

"Besides those bastards colluding with the rebels, there should be dozens of Northern Yuan assassins in the city. I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will conduct a thorough search!"

After saying this, and getting Wei Wu's approval, Tong Wei immediately took two thousand households to arrange a search.

After a busy night, Wei Wu was a little tired. After Tong Wei left, he said hello to Zhang Hai and went back to his room to rest.

Originally, Wei Wu wanted Zhang Hai to go back and rest as well, but after Wei Wu returned to his room, Zhang Hai did not leave.

Instead, he stood silently outside Wei Wu's door, because what happened today made him feel a little scared.

And there are still so many Duomeng assassins who have not been caught. He is worried that those people might take risks and cause trouble again.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye the sky became bright.

Because there was a main show today, Wei Wu didn't sleep in and got out of bed early.

After getting dressed and washing up, Wei Wu opened the door and found Shen Lin standing outside his room.

"You got up pretty early. When did you get back last night?"

"Master, I came back just after you fell asleep. Zhang Hai said you were already asleep, so I didn't say hello to you."

"Yeah, I was pretty tired last night. Oh, and where's Zhang Hai? Is he still sleeping?"

After coming out of the room, Wei Wu asked casually, and Shen Lin responded immediately.

"He stayed outside your door all night last night. I just came over and told him to go back to sleep."

"This guy, I told him to rest. Okay, let him sleep! Come with me to the government office later."

Wei Wu nodded, then straightened his collar and prepared to leave, but at this moment, the servant from the post station suddenly ran in.

"My Lord, the prefect has sent someone to ask you to come over!"

"That's great, let's go!"

Afterwards, Wei Wu and Shen Lin followed the yamen runners to the prefectural yamen.

As soon as I entered the yamen gate, I could tell that the atmosphere was not right. When I arrived at the court, I found out that Zhu Zongshan was already ready to go to court.

It seems that it is probably because I haven't arrived yet, otherwise the trial might have already started.

In the court, Zhu Zongshan saw Wei Wu coming and immediately stood up and said:

"My Lord, since you are here, let's begin the trial of the prisoner!"
