Listening to Xiao Wuge's loud and excited recounting of what had happened in the mansion that morning, Chen Yi nodded to himself.
This time, the Old Master and Xiao Jinghong hadn't been as lenient as before, which made all his efforts worthwhile.
Early in the morning, Xiao Jinghong had intercepted Xiao Dongchen on his way to the Governor's Office and brought him to the Punishment Hall for questioning.
Although Xiao Dongchen refused to confess no matter what, once Xiao Jinghong's men found the three hundred thousand taels in silver notes at Four Directions Hall, he was imprisoned in the Punishment Hall without another word.
The Old Master hadn't been idle, either. He had directly summoned several clan elders, the Chief Steward of each branch, and men like Xiao Wang and Xiao Shen.
