That dark figure was none other than Hou Shengjue, who had just arrived.
"My lord, all the suspects have been captured.
Please tell me, sir," an officer and soldier reported to Hou Shengjue.
"Well done, go and light a torch in the temple.
I want to see how miserable Qingfeng is," Hou Shengjue said proudly.
The officers and soldiers quickly entered the temple and lit a torch.
Hou Shengjue used the light of the fire to signal the officers and soldiers to let Qingfeng and the others go.
"Who are you?"
Qingfeng asked angrily, raising his head and returning to his previous disguised appearance.
Hou Shengjue was shocked.
He originally thought it would be Qingfeng, but it was another person who asked with a straight face.
"Who are you and where is Qingfeng?"
"What do you mean the wind doesn't feel blowing down here tonight?"
Qingfeng asked deliberately pretending to be confused.
"My lord, I'm asking you where Qingfeng is?"
asked the yamen servant next to Hou Shengjue.
"My lord, who are you?"
Qingfeng asked with sudden realization.
"The person who asked the question just now is Mr.
Hou from this county.
Please tell me honestly and clearly," the yamen officer warned Qingfeng with a straight face.
"Master Qi, my name is Zhang Shicai.
He is not a local, but a merchant who comes to Haitian to buy seafood."
Qingfeng replied respectfully.
Hou Shengjue immediately became alert and ordered the government servant beside him.
"Have you seen these businessmen from other places?"
"I would like to inform you, adults and children, that you have never seen these people before," the Yamen servant reported unhurriedly.
Hou Shengjue looked at Qingfeng carefully and then asked.
"What are the other people doing?"
"My lord, I am my young master's accountant.
The younger one is my young master's book boy, and the other two are my servants."
Han Yongzhong, who had just been loosened, calmly reported to Hou Shengjue.
Hou Shengjue took a closer look at the remaining ones.
Their attire and appearance matched them, and they were not related to Qingfeng and others at all.
Lu Daohong looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see any flaws.
He shook his head repeatedly, and then said to Hou Shengjue with some disappointment.
"Master Hou, let's not waste time looking elsewhere."
However, Hou Shengjue was unmoved and signaled Lu Daohong not to interrupt, then asked Qingfeng with a straight face.
"I just don't understand.
Why are you five masters and servants here at Zhenwu Temple staying up so late at night?"
Qingfeng deliberately hesitated and evaded his words.
"Sir, this"
The yamen servant then yelled viciously.
"Don't look at your delicate skin and tender flesh.
I will know that you are up to no good.

What kind of shameful deeds have your masters and servants done?
Why don't you call them immediately?"
Qingfeng was immediately frightened and trembled all over, kowtowing repeatedly.
"My lord, Mingjian, I am a legitimate businessman."
"Why don't you confess quickly?"
the officer continued to scold.
Han Yongzhong pretended to be helpless and said to Qingfeng.
"Sir, just tell the truth and stop holding on to it."
"Sir, this guy won't fight even if you don't give him a hard blow," the Yamen servant reported to Hou Shengjue with a proud look on his face.
Hou Shengjue smiled and began to wait for Qingfeng to confess his shameful deeds.
"Master Qi, I couldn't say anything originally, but now that things have happened, my life is almost gone, so I can only tell you the truth," Qingfeng said tremblingly.
"That's right, I like to hear the truth the most," Hou Shengjue's face softened a lot and he said coldly.
"I made a wish at the Zhenwu Temple tonight.
I hope that I can make a fortune this time when I come to Haitian," Qingfeng replied fearfully.
"What you said doesn't make sense."
The officer heard Qingfeng's confession and was very angry.
He grabbed Qingfeng's clothes.
"Let him go," Hou Shengjue ordered.
The yamen servant pushed Qingfeng away angrily, but Hou Shengjue continued with a smile.
"Don't be afraid.
I will make the decision for you.
Tell me everything you know."
"Sir, I have made my wish known to the public.
You don't know something.
As a result, my wish will not work.
If I have anything to hide, it is because I am stingy in buying offerings for Master Zhenwu."
Qingfeng explained in detail.
"Master Qi, I think this gang is just a businessman.
They only want to be blessed by Lord Zhenwu and make a fortune, but they can even save the offerings to Lord Zhenwu," the Yamen servant said disdainfully.
"Hurry into the temple and see if they have placed any offerings."
Hou Shengjue immediately ordered the government officials to enter the temple in a hurry.
Soon, the Yamen servant ran back to report to Hou Shengjue.
"Master Qi, it is true that there is no businessman without treachery, and there is no businessman without treachery.
This boy is really capable.
He came to Zhenwu Temple just to worship."
After hearing this, Hou Shengjue immediately fell into a dilemma and muttered to himself.
"If they deliberately concealed the fact that they did not buy the offerings, it would mean that they were lying.
In front of the official, they were forced to reveal their stinginess, which is despised by the world.
Now that there is evidence, it seems normal. " "Master Han, I have been observing for a long time.
They are just a few businessmen, not the Qingfeng you mentioned.
Why do you waste your time here?
If there is no progress tonight, I can ask Brother Dao for help tomorrow night."
Lu Daohong always thought that Hou Shengjue was wasting his time, so he stepped forward to persuade him.
Hou Shengjue had his own plan, but he remained unmoved and said to Qingfeng calmly.
"You said you are a merchant from out of town.

What proof do you have?"
"Yes, you didn't register in the county seat, how did you come to Jiaoshi Town?"
the yamen officer continued to question.
"Sir, I did not enter the city, but came directly to Jiaoshi Town by waterway," Qingfeng replied unhurriedly.
"Shuiluo, why don't you go into the city?"
Hou Shengjue asked with an alert look on his face.
"Sir, I'm coming from the nearby Shimen County.
There's no need to go into the city," Qingfeng asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Sir, this guy is right.
If you come to Jiaoshi Town from the nearby Shimen County, it will be a bit of a detour if you take the land route to the county seat.
The water route is more convenient."
The Yamen servant leaned into Hou Shengjue's ear and whispered.
Hou Shengjue nodded slowly, his tone softened a lot, and then asked Qingfeng.
"You came to Jiaoshi Town to buy seafood.
As far as I know, there are many charitable homes in Jiaoshi Town that receive foreign merchants.
Which one do you want to stay at?"
"If Mr.
Yang Yiju in the town doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate," Qingfeng replied with an innocent look.
Hou Shengjue winked at the Yamen servant beside him, and the Yamen servant immediately led the people away.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the people who went out to fish early in the morning found that officers and soldiers were surrounding the exit of the town, and they were all confused.
When the sister-in-law of Yang's Yiju followed the government officials and passed by, everyone knew that something big had happened, so they went to Zhenwu Temple to find out what was going on.
I wish you all a happy weekend and thank you for your continued attention:
