Su Fei didn't have any good impression of him. He glanced at him and his tone was cold.
"Ren Daowei, at this point, what else do you want from the court documents?"
"If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."
"Canal Transport Gang leader Pang Feilong has been captured by me. He personally confessed that you conspired with him to rob the court of five million taels of tax money, and also provided him with information and covered him to hide the tax money."
"As an official of the imperial court, you colluded with Jianghu forces and betrayed the imperial court. The evidence is conclusive. What else can you say?"
"What did you say? Pang Feilong was captured?"
Ren Daowei's face suddenly changed, his pupils shrank suddenly, the composure he had pretended before instantly collapsed, and his voice began to tremble.
"Impossible! Pang Feilong Martial Arts is so powerful and Canal Transport Gang is so powerful. How could you possibly capture Pang Feilong, Thousand Households Commander Su? You must be mistaken. I have nothing to do with Canal Transport Gang, let alone plundering tax money."
"Let me tell you, just tonight, Canal Transport Gang's strength has been wiped out by me and Admiral Miao's navy."
Ren Daowei looked shocked.
"What, the imperial navy dispatched and wiped out the Canal Transport Gang forces. For such a big thing, I, the Guangling Commandery guard, didn't receive any news at all. Do you have any court documents?"
"I don't believe it. You are definitely lying to me."
Su Fei took out the token and showed it to him.
"I used this token to give the order, you can see for yourself."
When Ren Daowei saw this token, he naturally recognized that it was the token of the Southern Commandery Investigation Department.
Ren Daowei is completely ashen.
Su Fei sneered and pointed to the wooden box in the corner of the hall.
"There are also these gold and silver jewelry. I'm afraid you colluded with Canal Transport Gang to plunder the stolen money from the people. If you follow your salary, you won't be able to save these properties in a hundred years."
"Where did these belongings come from, Ren Daowei, can you explain clearly!"
After hearing this, Ren Daowei felt his whole body go limp and could no longer hold on.
"Plop" he fell to his knees, his face lost all color, and he murmured in his mouth.
"It's over, it's all over."
Su Fei Regardless of the waists of those navy soldiers, they were all stuffed to the brim.
He looked at Ren Daowei who collapsed on the ground and gave orders to the two Deputy General.
"Ren Daowei, his family members, and servants will all be detained and not allowed to be contacted by anyone. The stolen money and stolen goods will be under strict guard. Once the subsequent inventory is completed, they will be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to the court for disposal."
"The last general takes orders."
The two Deputy General responded in unison, and immediately arranged for soldiers to take Ren Daowei and others into the side courtyard of the county governor's house for safekeeping. They also sent special personnel to guard the wooden boxes without any slack.
Su Fei stood in the center of the hall, looking at everything in front of him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Canal Transport Gang leader Pang Feilong was captured, accomplice Ren Daowei was arrested, and the tax money that was robbed was intact.
Next, all we have to do is wait for Miao Tianqi to clean up the Canal Transport Gang remnants of Lakeheart Island, and wait until all the criminals and the stolen money are escorted back to Imperial Capital Pacification Office, the case will almost be closed.
By that time, the task is almost completed.
The journey from the Imperial City to Guangling only takes five or six days. Including the return trip, the total does not exceed ten days.
Not only was the tax money recovered, but all the real culprits in the case were caught.
This speed is not too slow.
It was almost noon.
Su Fei immediately wrote two warrants. One was sent to Lakeheart Island and handed over to Miao Tianqi, ordering him to escort all the criminals Pang Feilong and Canal Transport Gang to the county magistrate's house.
The other letter was sent to Wind Ridge Ferry's abandoned salt warehouse, and the fifty Imperial Guard who guarded the tax bank immediately counted the silver, loaded it into a truck, and escorted it to the county governor's house for rendezvous.
After the arrangements were made, he sat quietly and waited in the front hall of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Navy soldiers have cleared out the unused side courtyard of the mansion and specially used it to detain prisoners.
The warehouse also freed up space to store stolen money and tax money waiting to be transported.
About two hours later, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the hospital. Miao Tianqi personally escorted a group of shackled criminals. The leader was Pang Feilong, who was chained.
Although he had regained consciousness, his face was pale due to damage to his meridians, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. He no longer had the unruly aura of Canal Transport Gang leader "Flying Swordsman" in the past.
Following closely behind were dozens of carriages escorted by fifty Imperial Guard.
There were sealed wooden boxes stacked on each carriage, and inside were the five million taels of tax silver.
Imperial Guards looked solemn and lined up on both sides with long knives in hand. They protected the carriage tightly and escorted it all the way into the warehouse of the county governor's house.
After all the prisoners and property were properly placed, Su Fei personally stepped forward to inspect them.
A total of more than 130 Canal Transport Gang criminals, together with Ren Daowei and his family, were all heavily shackled and imprisoned in a side courtyard, guarded by Imperial Guard and navy soldiers.
The stolen money copied from the tax bank and the county magistrate's office was stored in separate warehouses. Each box was sealed and the quantity and category were marked. The accounts were clear and clear.
After everything was ready, Su Fei walked up to Miao Tianqi and held his hands.
"Admiral Miao, thanks to your help this time, Guangling Tax Silver Case was able to be successfully settled. Now that the prisoners and property are all ready, I am going to leave immediately to return to Imperial Capital Pacification Office for business. I bid you farewell."
Miao Tianqi was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a look of surprise.
"What, so fast? Thousand Households Commander Su, you have been busy investigating cases in Guangling these days, doing naval battles and tracking down the murderer. I see you are working very hard."
"I originally planned to set up a few tables at the Sheriff's Mansion tonight, and let's have a few drinks to celebrate your success. It won't be too late for you to leave tomorrow, so I won't waste this day longer."
Su Fei shook his head slightly, his tone firm.
"No, Admiral Miao, this tax and bank case is of great importance. Both the prisoner and the bank are important. If you delay for one more day, you will be at greater risk. It will be a long night and a lot of dreams. Besides, where is the responsibility, it is better to return to Beijing as soon as possible to handle the business."
Miao Tianqi Seeing his firm attitude, he stopped trying to persuade him and just nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
"Thousand Households Commander Su is so rigorous, Old Miao admires it, but I have to tell you something. I will send a few large navy ships to escort you on the waterway back to the imperial city."
"Don't refuse in a hurry. I saw your Imperial Guard boat at the ferry a few days ago. It's not big and can accommodate up to a hundred people. But look at it. There are more than 130 criminals alone. Plus the fifty Imperial Guard you brought, as well as dozens of boxes of tax money and stolen money, how can your boat hold it?"
"Even if it is packed and packed, there are many people and things, and once the draft is too deep, something will happen to the big ship in the canal, which is no joke."
Su Fei heard this, and his heart moved.
He did not calculate the transportation capacity carefully before, but he realized the problem after Miao Tianqi reminded him.
The transportation capacity of just one big ship Imperial Guard is indeed insufficient.
Seeing that Su Fei looked relaxed, Miao Tianqi quickly added.
"The ships I am sending are the most elite warships in the Navy. Each ship is equipped with a sufficient number of soldiers, which can not only ensure safety along the way, but also help you share the transportation capacity."
