Chapter 404: Arrest and Bringing to Justice

The gray-robed man looked as if he had already arranged everything, and said, "Don't worry, there are people at the entrance of the alley giving warnings. If they see something wrong, they will come in and tell you. But you are now successful. You can kill people if the court officials want to, and you are not afraid of people finding you here. If I were you, I would definitely leave the capital to avoid the limelight."

Wu Wulang sneered and said, "With those confused officials in the capital, how could they find me? Now that the master is in need of people, how can I let the master have no one to use for my own safety?"

When the gray-robed man heard this, he didn't know whether to sigh whether Wu Wulang was too self-righteous or valued his master too much, to the point of abandoning himself.

Wu Wulang didn't want to talk to him much, so he took out his double swords on the spot and waved them vigorously in the yard. When he was in a bad mood, he liked to practice swords.

The gray-robed man looked at him with admiration. Although he was short and had a lame leg, it didn't affect his current martial arts skills.

The gray-robed man picked up a long spear from the weapon rack behind him and fought him directly.

"Wu Lang, let me see if you have made any progress during this period!"

They fought wantonly in the yard, but they didn't know that the man who was sent to guard outside the yard suddenly felt a tight stomach. He wanted to go back to the house to change people, but the rhythm in his stomach was coming and going, and he estimated that he would burst before reaching the door. He held his stomach and looked around. He saw that there was a collapsed courtyard wall only two meters away. Behind the courtyard wall was an abandoned house. He didn't hesitate and rushed in directly and squatted in a corner.

Gu Mingda and his group saw that the closer they were to the house, the lighter their steps became.

Niuniu suddenly smelled a foul smell and looked over following the smell. Her sight passed through the broken courtyard wall and met a pair of confused eyes.

"Is someone pooping there?" Niuniu asked.

Gu Mingda immediately said, "Control this man first, don't let him shout!"

Gu Mingda didn't know that this man was out to look out, but he was afraid that ordinary people in the alley would make a fuss when they saw so many people.

Two officials rushed in immediately.

Gu Mingda wanted to comfort this man, but suddenly his eyes fixed.

"Look at what's hidden in his boots!" Gu Mingda said.

The officials didn't hesitate at all, and directly reached into the man's boots, and a dagger was taken out.

Gu Mingda turned to the prefect of Jingzhao and said, "This man carries a sharp weapon with him. Even if he is not the murderer, he is probably a swindler. You can interrogate him carefully later, and you can also help the people of Qingcao Lane get rid of the harm."

The prefect of Jingzhao naturally understood this truth. If he really caught a petty thief, it would be counted as his political achievement later.

After leaving two officials to control this man, the others continued to touch the house.

As they got closer, they immediately heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the house, which covered up their footsteps.

An experienced old constable kicked the door of the yard open with one foot, and a group of officials rushed in with knives.

The two people fighting in the yard had never expected such a shocking change.

Their first reaction was to run away, but there was another group of officials waiting at the back door.

No matter how powerful their martial arts were, they could not withstand the ants biting the elephant to death. In the end, only a few young officials who were eager to make meritorious deeds were injured, and the thieves in the house were captured.

However, whether it was Gu Mingda or the prefect of Jingzhao, they felt a chill in their spines when they recalled it afterwards.

There were a total of six thieves in the house, all of them were good fighters, and the two who had fought in the yard before were even more powerful martial artists. This time, they were caught off guard and barely captured this group of people.

He was almost run away by the gray-robed man. He was accidentally tripped by a stone hidden in the bushes when he was running away, and was caught.

The prefect of Jingzhao flicked his sleeves and said triumphantly to a group of thieves who were pinned to the ground: "Thanks to my command, otherwise you would have run away!"

Gu Mingda, who was standing in the yard, looked back at Niuniu at this time. Niuniu was standing at the entrance of the alley, stretching her neck to look at this side, accompanied by Li Yaren.

Seeing that all the thieves were caught, the little girl was about to run over, but Gu Mingda shook his head at her. There were too many thieves here, and he was afraid that an accident would endanger his daughter.

He had a feeling in his heart that the arrest was so smooth today, maybe because of his daughter.

"Sir, there are many unconscious children in there! They are kidnappers!" An official ran over to report.

Jingzhao prefect did not expect such a pleasant surprise. Many children in the capital have been missing during this period, and people report to the authorities every day. However, these kidnappers are very careful and leave no trace. Even if they want to catch people, they can't find any clues for a while.

Now, in the eyes of Jingzhao prefect, this situation is a double blessing.

"You thieves, not only kidnap children, but also murder officials appointed by the court!" Jingzhao prefect scolded sternly.

Wu Wulang and the gray-robed man looked at each other, and they reached a consensus without any extra words.

"Please forgive me, we are indeed kidnappers, but where did the words of murdering officials appointed by the court come from? We are really wronged!" The two cried out together.

Among the thieves present, only the gray-robed man knew that Wu Wulang killed Lu Long, and the others didn't know at all.

"I knew you guys would be stubborn. Take them back and punish them." Jingzhao prefectural governor gave an order, and a group of officials led several thieves back in a mighty manner, even the one who was watching the wind before was not left behind.

Wu Wulang was escorted forward by the officials. He passed by Niu Niu and Li Yaren. Li Yaren was obviously someone he knew, but he didn't know why, as if he couldn't control himself, he kept looking at Niu Niu.

It was as if the little girl in front of him should be someone he knew.

Gu Mingda didn't dare to let this kind of vicious criminal have more involvement with his daughter. He was afraid to run to Niu Niu and protect the little girl behind him.

Niu Niu tilted her head and asked, "Is the person who kept looking at me the murderer?"

Wu Wulang walked with a limp, which made him much easier to recognize than ordinary people.

Gu Mingda nodded.

Niu Niu's face showed doubts, and she said, "Before I met this man, I always thought he was bad, but now that I have met him, I don't think he is that bad."

Gu Mingda knew that his daughter had always relied on her intuition to judge good and bad, but he was also afraid that his daughter would rely too much on these magical ways and lose her sensitivity to other things. He squatted down, looked at his daughter, and said, "People in this world are sometimes so complicated that they can't be described clearly by the two words good and bad."

Niu Niu's face showed a thoughtful look.

And this group of thieves entered Jingzhao Prefecture and confessed to the kidnapping of children, but they either denied Lu Long's matter or insisted that it was a temporary idea, and they refused to admit that there was someone behind the scenes.

"Master Gu, the case is deadlocked again, what can we do?" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin now relies heavily on Gu Mingda, looking at Gu Mingda with expectation, hoping to find some useful methods from him.
