Chapter 1255

"General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Ji Ling swallowed his saliva and said, "We don't have any evidence now, and just capturing the two of them... this is not in accordance with the law."

Yuan Shu frowned, glared at Ji Ling, and said unhappily, "Are you stupid?"

"Capturing the two of them is naturally for interrogation; as long as the two of them confess, won't I have evidence?"

"Capturing them is for the sake of evidence!"

"Uh..." Ji Ling still felt it was inappropriate and looked at Yuan Shu, saying, "But General, what if—this subordinate is saying what if—what if the two of them say nothing?"

"Then... how should we deal with it?"

"Hey..."

Yuan Shu's eyebrows twitched.

Don't say it, it seemed that was really the case.

Yes, what if these two said nothing?

This was a bit difficult to handle.

Just when Yuan Shu was frowning and thinking.

Fan Xian, who was on the side, spoke.

"General, I do have a way," Fan Xian bowed and said, "It's just..."

Yuan Shu immediately waved his hand and said, "There is no 'just,' you can just say it."

As long as he could deal with Duan Yu, there was nothing that couldn't be done.

Not to mention that Duan Yu humiliated him when he was in Luoyang.

And later, Yuan Shu had suffered no small losses at Duan Yu's hands.

Among the next generation of the Yuan family, he was clearly the legitimate heir; let alone Yuan Ji, but now the status of Yuan Shao, who was born of a concubine, seemed to be about to suppress him.

How could he not vent this evil breath?

If he could really find some evidence of Duan Yu's collusion with the He family, let's see who would dare to look down on him again.

Seeing Yuan Shu say this, Fan Xian no longer hid anything.

So he bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "General, the generals under Duan Yu may not confess, but those called Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu have family members in Anyi County."

"As long as the General captures their family members, are you afraid they won't submit?"

"This matter must have something to do with them; as long as one of the two confesses, the General can confirm their criminal evidence."

Hey!

Yuan Shu's eyebrows twitched again, and then he rubbed his chin slightly: "It is feasible; this method of yours is not bad."

Ji Ling, who was on the side, only felt the hair on his body stand up.

This... what kind of aristocratic family descendant is this Fan guy, what kind of insidious tricks are these?

This damn...

Isn't this forcing people to a dead end?

If they really captured the two, it would be fine if they didn't let them catch their breath.

If they let them run away, or if there really was no solid evidence.

Then if Duan Yu retaliated in the future...

Who could escape?

Ji Ling now wished he could find a pillar and hit his head on it until he fainted.

Unfortunately.

Fantasy is beautiful.

Reality is cruel.

"Ji Ling, you immediately take troops to the homes of those two and capture all their family members."

"Not a single one can escape."

"Just use the name of searching; if they dare to resist, say they are colluding with thieves and capture them all," Yuan Shu said loudly.

Ji Ling shuddered.

Fine, fine, fine.

Fine, fine, fine.

It's just too fine.

Ji Ling, who was extremely resistant in his heart, could only nod and agree; when he raised his head, he didn't forget to look at Fan Xian standing on the side.

Fan Xian, who was completely unaware, even bowed and smiled at Ji Ling.

Who are you smiling at, you motherfucker!

Ji Ling cursed in his heart, wishing he could draw the sword at his waist and hack Fan Xian.

"Fan Xian, Wei Xun, you two just stay here with me and wait for the good news," Yuan Shu waved his hand and returned to the main seat to sit down.

Fan Xian immediately responded and agreed, then pulled Wei Xun and walked toward the main hall.

"Brother Fan..."

Wei Xun, who was walking toward the main hall, looked at Fan Xian on the side and said, "Brother Fan, I think doing this is somewhat inappropriate; at the very least, disaster should not reach family members."

Fan Xian shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Zhongdao, you are wrong."

"Brother Zhongdao, you are good at everything, outstanding in knowledge, and full of talent, but only this heart is too soft."

"How can it be that we are the ones who first bring disaster to family members?"

Fan Xian spread his hands and said, "Duan Yu occupied the salt pond, how many families in Hedong lost their income?"

"Although we also privately mined the salt in the salt pond, didn't those ordinary people mine it too?"

"How many people depend on mining salt for a living?"

"Duan Yu occupied the salt pond, causing how many families to lose their income, facing the desperate situation of starving or freezing to death?"

"Furthermore," Fan Xian put on an awe-inspiring look and said, "The imperial court has an edict to execute the He family."

"Although Duan Yu has a good relationship with the He family, he cannot violate the imperial court's laws."

"Regardless of public or private, I think I did nothing wrong." ===== CHAPTER 1257 =====
