"Yes!"
After the coachman responded, he immediately picked up the portrait and headed straight for the Han Mansion.
In less than half an hour, he returned, and the outcome was as Yuan Xingchi had anticipated: Xu Sanbao had never seen the woman in the portrait.
"Sir, what do we do now?"
"I think we've investigated this matter enough. The adult should have his own judgment on the remaining matters. We don't need to continue investigating. Send the news back immediately, and it's time for us to visit our esteemed Official Li!"
——————————————
"Sir, Jiang Yan and the others are back!"
At the same time, while Han Mo was worrying, Xu Fengnian gently knocked on the door from outside and said in a low voice.
"Let him in!"
Hearing that Jiang Yan had returned, Han Mo was overjoyed.
"Yes!"
"Young Master, we're back!"
A moment later, Jiang Yan pushed open the door and walked in.
"How is it? Are the brothers all right?"
Han Mo looked at Jiang Yan with concern, examining him from head to toe before asking.
"We did encounter some minor trouble, but fortunately, the brothers are skilled. They have all returned safely. Only two people sustained minor injuries, but it's nothing serious!"
"It's good that you're back. Now that you're back, I can finally relax!"
As far as Han Mo was concerned, the entire Neihuang County was currently a huge powder keg.
At this moment, he didn't have many people he could truly trust by his side.
The constables under Lü Ying were capable of self-preservation but lacked offensive power.
Fortunately, Han Mo didn't have high hopes for them. As long as they could keep an eye on the people in prison and prevent any mishaps, that would be enough for Han Mo.
As for the rest of the matters, he would have to rely on Jiang Yan and the others.
As for the leading Khitan man, Han Mo had no intention of even inquiring about him from beginning to end.
The situation in Neihuang County was complex. At this moment, they were safer in Zhong Shidao's hands than in Han Mo's.
Compared to the confessions of the death warriors, the confession of the leading Khitan man was clearly more important.
"By the way, Sir, we also brought you a gift!"
As the two were talking, Jiang Yan seemed to remember something and said with a happy expression.
"A gift? What gift?"
"You'll know when you see it! Bring them in!"
As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Yue Fei immediately carried two sacks and walked in.
"What is this?"
"Reporting to you, Sir, this is a gift from General Zhong for you!"
Yue Fei spoke as he untied the ropes of the sacks.
As soon as he untied them, two familiar heads emerged from the sacks.
"It's them!"
Seeing the two familiar faces of Hu Changzai and the scar-faced man, Han Mo finally showed a smile.
It seemed that this Old General Zhong was truly discerning!
Although they had their confessions, without witnesses, the credibility of the confessions would be greatly reduced.
When he let them leave, Han Mo had already instructed Jiang Yan to tamper with them, but he had also prepared for the possibility that these two would escape.
After all, for Hu Changzai and the scar-faced man, escaping might not mean death, but falling into Han Mo's hands would certainly mean death.
Under these circumstances, the choice was quite simple. Instead of waiting for death, it was better to try their luck by escaping.
After all, while poison was terrifying, there were plenty of renowned physicians in the world.
Having been involved with the Manichaean sect for so long, they had also accumulated quite a bit of wealth.
As long as they could escape this troublesome place, they might still find a way to save their lives.
"Sir, we didn't intend to escape, we were just... we were just..."
As he was fabricating, even Hu Changzai couldn't continue.
"Enough. If you have nothing to tell me, then go back to the prison and reflect on it! Guards, take them away!"
With these two in hand, Han Mo's chain of evidence became more complete.
As long as he obtained the confession from Zhong Shidao, this case would truly be ironclad.
With witnesses and physical evidence, even if Li Bangyan himself were to preside over the trial, he wouldn't be able to overturn this case.
With this evidence, Han Mo would gain the upper hand in the subsequent power struggle.
"Peng Ju, you've worked hard this time!"
After the constables took the people away, Han Mo specifically had wine and dishes served, poured a cup of wine for Yue Fei himself, and then said sincerely.
"You are too kind, Sir. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be eating prison food right now!"
After accepting the wine cup with both hands, Yue Fei said emotionally.
"There's no need to mention such things, but I will have to trouble you and your young brothers with something else!"
Han Mo was extremely envious of Yue Fei's companions, each of whom possessed remarkable skills.
However, he knew in his heart that these were Yue Fei's core followers.
If he were to bring these people under his command, it would be even more detrimental to Yue Fei's future development.
However, borrowing them occasionally should be fine, right?
"If you have any matters, Sir, please do not hesitate to command me!"
Hearing Han Mo's words, Yue Fei immediately cupped his fists and said.
"If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow night at the earliest, or the night after at the latest, there will be a fierce battle in this inn!"
Han Mo did not conceal anything from them and straightforwardly explained his anticipated situation.
"Sir, rest assured. I will bring them tomorrow morning. If those villains dare to come, we will ensure they never return!"
Feng Yuanbao's affairs had largely progressed smoothly.
The employees he had painstakingly trained had now begun to gradually penetrate various villages.
Taking advantage of the time before the busy farming season, they were going door-to-door to teach these ordinary villagers the methods of mushroom cultivation.
Although the villagers were still skeptical about what they were being taught, they were extremely diligent in their studies because of the tangible copper coins.
Although the money was not from Han Mo's own pocket, no matter how Han Mo tried to explain, all the villagers still attributed the credit to him.
Even the new residents of Xiaoti Alley were now full of praise for Han Mo.
Having finally found an opportunity to repay Han Mo, Yue Fei readily agreed without a second thought.
