"I can promise you tonight, if Wei Jiawei refuses to cooperate, you will directly use the army to control all his family members, search carefully, and make sure to find the letter sent from outside the city!"

Having said that, Fan Chou turned around and nodded towards Yang Feng with some embarrassment, and then handed over the troop-deploying tiger talisman he was carrying with him to Li Su.

"Here!"

He cupped his hands vigorously towards Fan Chou, but Li Su didn't notice anything unusual, so he quickly left the prefect's mansion with the tiger amulet for dispatching troops.

Afterwards, he first went to the Huben barracks, and with his token and Fan Chou's tiger talisman, he mobilized three thousand Huben troops.

Although this tiger and ben army is an infantry army, it is extremely elite, and one can stand up to ten.

Especially in the street fighting and night fighting in this city, the Huben army is even more suitable than the famous Xiliang iron cavalry.

……

"Pass my order down, the whole army will set out immediately and surround the Wei family's mansion!"

"Military officers above Du Bo are out in battle, ready to enter the mansion with me, and arrest the head of the Wei family, Wei Ke!"

……

Afterwards, with his order, the three thousand tiger troops moved together, taking advantage of the darkness, within only half an hour, they quietly surrounded the Wei family mansion heavily.

Let alone a thief with a letter, even a bird would have a hard time escaping in such an environment.

……

Just when Li Su was planning to take the most elite soldiers of the whole army and assault the gate of Wei's house head-on, suddenly there was a scream from not far behind the gate.

"what--"

In the middle of the night, the screams shocked everyone present, and at the same time made Li Su and others' actions stagnate.

In such a short time, when Li Su was hesitating whether to continue to act, the previously closed door of the Wei family suddenly opened.

Under the eyes of everyone, a man with the appearance of a little old man came out from the gate...

……

"Come on, get it for me!"

……

Seeing someone walking out of the mansion, the soldiers of the Huben army who had been hiding in the dark suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, subconsciously roared, and rushed towards the old man with the soldiers around him.

The old man...that is, Wei Ji is a literati, how has he ever seen such a scene?

He was bumped head-on by more than a dozen big men, and he didn't even have a chance to yell, so he was pressed down hard on the ground by the crowd, and at the same time, countless ropes and chains tied him up firmly.

……

"Search hard for me!"

Gritting his teeth, he looked at Wei Ke on the ground. Because it was dark at this moment, Li Su worried that there would be a change in the future, so he quickly ordered many soldiers to rush into the Wei family's mansion, intending to turn the mansion upside down.

This action immediately startled Wei Ke who was on the side.

……

"Ouch!"

"Li Zhonglang, Li Zhonglang, wait a minute, what are you doing here with your troops in the middle of the night!"

……

Struggling hard, Wei Jiao managed to break free from the powerful hand of the guard behind him, and shouted at him.

This was also the first sentence he uttered after seeing these soldiers tonight.

……

"What am I doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Wei Xi, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you going to do?"

"Don't tell me that you have an appointment with a friend, and you plan to take a walk in my Anyi City to enjoy the moon!"

……

Gazing at Wei Ke viciously, Li Su ignored him and just left like this and walked into the mansion.

But to his surprise, when a few soldiers saw him coming in, they immediately surrounded him with chatter:

"Li Zhonglang, no..."

……

"Our brothers searched the mansion up and down for a long time, and the family members of the Wei family were also arrested one by one. Ge said that he couldn't find where the thief was, and he never saw the letter."

……

"Is it because our brothers who were guarding outside were slack and let the thief go?"

……

You talk to me, a few soldiers chattered.

And what they have in common is that this raid, which was inevitable, failed to find any evidence that the other party had conspired with foreign enemies.

……

"No?"

"Hiss—how is this possible."

After walking around for a while, Li Su looked a little embarrassed.

But soon, as if he remembered something, he turned around and planned to go out.

The head of the Wei family, Wei Ke, bumped into them before, and was immediately controlled.

If you think about it now, what might the other party know about this matter?

……

"Report-"

Just as Li Su was about to leave, he heard exclamations from several soldiers behind him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of hurried voices.

When he turned around again, he saw several soldiers coming from the courtyard.

There are still many water stains on their bodies at this moment.

And the last few of these people...

Looking at their hands, it seems that they are dragging something heavy?

……

"Reporter, Li Zhonglang, we brothers just saw an ancient well under a bluestone in the courtyard."

"The ancient well is extremely filthy and dense, and there is a bloody smell inside from time to time."

"After investigation by our relatively thin brothers, we finally found a corpse in black at the bottom of the well."

……

"Hey, looking at it like this, it seems that he died not long ago, and the wounds on his body still occasionally ooze blood."

Lifting up the black-clothed corpse behind them, the soldiers whispered to Li Su.

And Li Su naturally had an extremely dignified expression, his eyes fixed on the corpse's clothes——

He searched for the black-clothed thief but failed, turned around and found a black-clothed corpse in the ancient well in the courtyard...

This... this is too much of a coincidence, right?

Li Su thought silently.

Reminiscent of the miserable howls he heard outside the mansion just now, Li Su's expression changed instantly.

He thought of some extremely embarrassing possibility...

If this is the case, then he is considered to be in bad luck today.

……

"Quick, hurry up and bring Wei Ke!"

"I have something to ask him!"

After scolding in a low voice, Li Su hurriedly brought Wei Ji to the courtyard, and pulled him to stand in front of the corpse.

"The general asks you, who is this man in black, do you recognize him!?"

"We just found this person's body in the dry well of your home. It is extremely fresh, pretending to be alive!"

"Say it!"

……

"If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you off lightly!"

……

Turning around to see the rather calm expression on Wei Ke's face, Li Su's anxiety increased by three points.

"Could it be true?"

he thought silently.

……

"This... ugh."

"General, since you found out, then I won't hide it anymore."

Seeing that he had been loosely bound by Li Su, Wei Ke moved his joints without changing his face, and then knelt down on one knee towards him.

This was already a very solemn gift in ancient times, especially in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

……

"Report to the general, the grassroots are guilty, please general punish the grassroots according to the law."

"It's just that before that, the grassroots also had news. They wanted to inform the general, and asked the general to suspend the crime."
