Chapter 192 The Dali Temple Arrests the Imperial Guards
They were clearly watching over the Su family just a second ago.
How did he suddenly end up in a night suit and fighting with the Silver Armor Guards?
Can anyone tell them what happened?
When the people from the Dali Temple arrived, they saw the men in black attacking the Su family.
"You audacious thief, stop right now!"
Zhang Mingzhe, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, immediately sent his subordinates to provide support.
The guards were still in a daze when they instinctively stopped and turned around.
The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review brought many subordinates, who quickly apprehended and subdued the ten men in black.
The main reason is that these Imperial Guards haven't figured out what happened yet, and their minds are in a state of confusion.
When I saw the people from the Dali Temple, I subconsciously regarded them as my colleagues.
"Show me their faces! I want to see who dares to defy the wind and cause trouble!"
The ten Golden Guards: "..."
Zhang Mingzhe is one of the organizers of the investigation into the theft case.
Today was his turn to be on duty.
The news that Chu Jingxuan had publicly given the Su family's daughter an exorbitant sum of money had already spread throughout the capital.
It's one of the hottest topics recently.
Zhang Mingzhe had also heard about it.
He worried that the mysterious thieves were also eyeing the Su family's money, which was why they had arrived so quickly.
They were trying to find some clues related to the theft.
We're all people within the same system, so it's inevitable that we'll interact with each other regularly.
One of the Dali Temple officers immediately recognized the identity of one of the men in black.
"Wu Shan, what are you doing here!" the soldiers exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked him to step forward and reply.
"Do you know this person?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, I have dealt with him before; he is a member of the Imperial Guard."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhe's expression changed drastically!
"Are you sure he's a member of the Imperial Guard?" he asked again to confirm.
"I'm certain!"
The first theft case involved the mysterious disappearance of money during the raid on the residence of a disgraced official, all of which was handled by the Imperial Guard.
If this is true, it means that the Jinwuwei are highly suspicious!
Seeing that things were mostly settled, Su Yunhai quickly stepped forward to fan the flames.
He disregarded his image at all, slid down to his knees, and hugged Zhang Mingzhe's leg tightly, crying bitterly.
"My lord, another group of men in black have stolen all of my family's silver."
"Please, Your Excellency, do me justice and help me get that money back!"
"If you don't believe me, sir, you can check anytime. Our silver was originally kept in the side room, but now it's all gone!"
"Waaaaah! We came out to investigate after we heard some noise outside, and these people are trying to kill us to silence us, sir!"
"We were almost wiped out, sir!"
Zhang Mingzhe never expected that this fat man would be so unconcerned about his image as he clung to his leg to complain.
But yes.
Anyone who loses 500,000 taels of silver would behave rather strangely, right?
He simply couldn't understand that feeling.
Because he didn't have that much silver...
He tried to pull his leg out several times, but couldn't, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He snapped angrily, "How dare you! Release me at once! How am I supposed to investigate the case if you keep acting like this!"
Su Yunhai then let go.
Zhang Mingzhe immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate the scene.
The scene had been carefully dealt with by Shen Shuli and Xuan Guang, and it looked extremely horrific.
There will be absolutely no way anyone will be able to detect anything amiss.
At this moment.
The Imperial Guards finally realized what was happening; if they hadn't, they would have been complete idiots.
They glared at the treacherous and cunning members of the Su family with bloodshot eyes, roaring and trying to defend themselves.
"How dare you! How dare you slander us!"
Su Yunhai was so frightened that he trembled and tried to hide his huge body behind the thin Zhang Mingzhe.
Zhang Mingzhe never expected these thieves to be so arrogant.
"Take them all back to the Dali Temple!"
"You, come with me too." Zhang Mingzhe turned around and glanced down at the lewd-looking Su Yunhai.
Su Yunhai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground, saying in a panic, "My lord, what have I done wrong? You can't arrest me, I'm the victim..."
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just taking you to the Dali Temple to make a statement so you can tell me all the details you know. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Su Yunhai breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to follow the people from the Dali Temple.
Seeing this, Shen Shuli quickly stepped forward, looked up at Zhang Mingzhe, and said with a wronged and frightened expression, "My lord, I have something to say."
Zhang Mingzhe looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, whose skin was as white as jade, but after just one glance, he dared not meet her eyes.
I feel that looking at it too much will offend the other party.
"Speak, I am listening."
"Yes, sir! I saw with my own eyes that there were at least a hundred men in black who came to steal from my house. They took away our chests containing silver without making a sound."
“I’m worried that if those thieves find out their men were caught, they’ll come back and kill us to vent their anger. We’re just ordinary people with no power to fight back…”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhe felt that this was indeed a thorny issue.
Those thieves must be extremely vicious, and they might very well return to kill us and silence us.
He glanced at Shen Shuli and said, "I will send people to guard outside, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Your Excellency! You truly love your people like your own children!" Shen Shuli bowed deeply to the other party, expressing her deepest gratitude.
Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Mingzhe coughed lightly, made a fist and put it to his lips, and waved to Shen Shuli.
"No need for such formalities, please rise. I have other official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Zhang Mingzhe left about ten people outside to guard the area, and then hurriedly left with Su Yunhai and his other subordinates.
He has made considerable progress today, and further investigation must be conducted as soon as possible.
Seeing that the person had left, Shen Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know what the final outcome would be, but she had done all she could.
She would never let the Jinwu Guards off easily, since they had killed so many of her people!
However, given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, she had no choice but to outsmart them.
Even if we can't kill them, we should at least skin them alive.
There were still two hours until dawn.
Shen Shuli told everyone to go back and rest.
She can handle the rest herself.
There was also a group of dozens of Imperial Guards who went out to track down the thieves and hadn't returned.
These are the people who are the most difficult to deal with.
She worried that the dozen or so soldiers left behind by the Dali Temple were no match for the Jinwu Guards.
Su Yunhai stayed at Dali Temple for an hour before returning.
Su Yunhai saw his daughter sitting on the roof waving to him, so he jumped onto the roof as well.
"Daughter, why aren't you resting? Are you worried that things might change?" Su Yunhai asked.
"Well, our tricks aren't very clever. I'm worried the people from the Dali Temple might find something out," Shen Shuli said frankly, without hiding her thoughts.
"It should be fine. The Imperial Guards on night duty tonight have already been taken away for questioning by the Dali Temple."
"So fast?" Shen Shuli looked at her father in surprise.
