This was accomplished in just a moment. The postmaster only felt that the bone in his shoulder was broken, and his arm was completely limp. He opened his eyes in horror and said, "Princess! How can you torture me? I am the postmaster..."
Although the official is small, a mosquito is still meat, and a small official is still an official. Logically speaking, the princess does not have the power to kill officials.
Wei An sneered, but didn't get angry. She asked back lightly, "Really? But I see you have shifty eyes, you're not the material for being an official." She smiled at the postmaster lightly, "Didn't you say you're a relative of the Nanjing Minister of Rites? What a coincidence, I have a guard who happens to be his clansman, why don't you come and meet him?"
The postmaster laughed out loud: "How could there be anything around the princess..." As he spoke, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at Wei An with a strange expression.
Seeing that he had realized what was happening, Wei An sneered, "Yeah, it seems that the postmaster knows us quite well. The first day we arrived here, you came up to us and recognized us as your relatives... You even specially treated us differently from other places. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but you obviously did it a little too deliberately. You don't act like a postmaster."
The postmaster swallowed his saliva, frowned and moved back: "I don't know anything, I don't know what you are talking about, I am the postmaster here!"
"Really?" Wei An did not argue with him. He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and instructed Han Bo: "It's almost time. Go out and tell them that the postmaster has confessed everything and that he was the one who set the fire. Let everyone go and tell them that if they don't believe it, they will know everything when the government comes tomorrow. Then, keep an eye on them and see which ones are refusing to leave and making the most trouble. Also, see which ones sneak away and don't wait outside, and arrest them all."
"Am I right?" Wei An raised his eyebrows and looked at the Yicheng who stood up suddenly. The smile on his face had disappeared. "Why don't you guess for me if anyone will be fooled? If I do this, can I catch one or two of your accomplices?"
The postmaster couldn't help but feel his heart sink to the bottom. Everyone said that Wei An was difficult to deal with, and he thought it was just a rumor and shouldn't be taken seriously. But now it seems that this little girl is really weird and really difficult to deal with!
If ordinary people encountered this situation, even if they were not afraid of the fire, they would be shocked by so many people crying and shouting and would do something wrong. At the very least, they would cry and run for their lives. No one would be like Wei An, who just sat here and waited for the opportunity and could endure it and watched the show for such a long time before taking action.
It's so vicious... ...but it's so damn useful!
If adults saw that he didn't respond for such a long time and was caught, they would definitely be panicked...
He was extremely anxious, but he was helpless. Seeing Han Bo leaving, he had to think of a way out and said, "Princess! Aren't you afraid that if you make such a fuss, everyone will know that Shen Chen is not here? You know..."
"I don't need to know anything." Wei An interrupted him coldly, his eyes cold: "Because no matter what Shen Chen is like, he is not within your reach. I believe he can protect himself, just as he believes I can protect myself. As for those things you don't want to say, it doesn't matter. Naturally, someone else will tell me. You know, not everyone is as devoted to the person behind you as you are. There is always a way to coerce or bribe, don't you think?"
What she said actually made sense. Yicheng was speechless and could only say sullenly, "Don't you think about the fact that you may not be able to defeat us?"
"That's not something I should worry about." Wei An sat down again: "I am only responsible for killing those who are planning to attack me. If you can't kill me, you must be prepared for my revenge. There is nothing else."
What a scary girl! The postmaster's heart skipped a beat, and he heard Han Bo striding in from outside: "Princess, we really caught a few sneaky people... They didn't follow the crowd and go out to get our evacuated things, but went somewhere else... "
Wei An raised his eyebrows, glanced at the postmaster, and asked him, "Do you know where he went?"
"I'm following you. I know. It's a small building... It's just a corner door away from here..." Han Bo said solemnly, "What should we do now?"
"No big deal. Have the adults made arrangements?" Wei An asked, and stood up to signal Han Bo and Qing Feng to bring the postmaster with them. "If they have made arrangements, then let's take them to see the extraordinary show. Let the adults see whether I am the one who watched them die without helping, or someone is forcing me to fall into a trap by using their lives."
The postmaster was already having trouble breathing. He was dragged by Han Bo and asked the last question with difficulty: "How do you know that the person is nearby..."
"Because I have already guessed my opponent." Wei An stopped and looked at him, then smiled and said, "The Xu family must want me dead, especially Uncle Xu, who must want to see me die with his own eyes. They will not be too far away from me. They must have followed me all the way, fearing any accidents. So they must be nearby tonight. Those sneaky people have heard the news. And they know that you, the vanguard, have been captured. Where else can they go if not to report it to him?"
Han Bo patted him on the head heavily and said, "You rats are only fit to use these inferior methods in the back!"
Wei An led the group downstairs in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the guards all lowered their heads, he said gently, "It's not your fault. The situation was chaotic at the time, and no one knew who did it."
As she spoke, she glanced at the body of the woman that had not yet been carried away, her expression darkened, and she said, "Put her away first. Once we find out her identity, we'll give her an explanation."
After all, they were all innocent victims and they are all responsible.
The people below agreed, and Wei An led his people outside without stopping. They found the lobby of the posthouse and saw that everyone was huddled together to keep each other warm. He threw the postmaster out and said, "This man is the culprit. He is not the postmaster at all, but a man who is preparing to assassinate..."
She was calm, not even wearing a veil, and revealed her identity, saying frankly: "This disaster was actually aimed at me. It's really me who caused trouble for everyone..."
Someone suspiciously asked her how she could prove it, and Wei An smiled and said, "I am here to take you to see the evidence."
As she spoke, Hanbo had already asked everyone to move to the small building they had found earlier. (To be continued)
