Chapter 531: Night Invitation Champion Hou

After a while, everyone sat silently in the room, looking sluggish. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The information compiled today is burned to the bottom, and the most important thing is that the two account books are all burned, and when the day dawns, how can they explain to the emperor!

"What's going on with this fire?" Kou Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was pinched by Dali Siqing for a while, and after waking up, he seemed to be more than ten years old, and asked weakly.

There was a dead silence inside.

"Say!" Kou Xing slapped the table.

A young official said cautiously: "We are busy, a small official came to bring us supper on your order, and the lower official fell asleep after eating supper, and I don't know whenβ€”"

Others echoed one after another: "Xiaguan too, it seems that he fell asleep quickly after supper, and when he wakes up again, it will be like this......"

Dali Siqing and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate both looked at the Shangshu Kou Xing of the Criminal Department.

From the words of these officials, it is not difficult to hear that there is probably something wrong with those late-night snacks.

Kou Xing's hands trembled violently, and he said angrily: "What little official? I was sleeping at that time, how could I order someone to bring you supper? Don't you use your brains?"

A group of people were trained to keep their heads down, wanting to refute but not daring.

At that time, they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, and their stomachs kept ringing, who would have thought that there was a problem with the little man who delivered supper?

This is the yamen of the criminal department, not a teahouse restaurant.

"Do you remember the appearance of that little official?"

The heads of the people hung lower.

"Are you dumb?" Kou Xing is old, and he is a little dizzy at the moment, and he has to force himself to calm down.

He calms down, who can calm down, when the emperor knows, he has to kill them!

"My lord, that little official kept his head down, and the lower official didn't pay attention to it at the time......"

"Didn't you notice? I see you were just thinking about eating at the time, right?" Kou Xing was so angry that his beard curled.

Dali Siqing sighed: "Kou Shangshu, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zuodu Yushi, all of whom were full of helplessness.

The account books were burned in the yamen of the criminal department, and their responsibility was a little smaller, and it was only a little smaller.

The three legal divisions jointly reviewed the case, and if something went wrong, no one could eat and walk around.

"That little official is definitely not in the yamen at the moment, I don't think I want to waste time on him for the time being. Dali Temple Qing said.

"The account book was burned, how should I explain it?" asked Zuo Du Yushi.

Dali Siqing glanced at Kou Xingze deeply: "Kou Shangshu, let's go talk next door." ”

The supreme chief of the three law divisions went next door to discuss.

"Kou Shangshu, what do you think we should explain to the emperor?" asked Dali Siqing.

Kou Xing opened his mouth, and suddenly raised his hand to support his forehead: "My head hurts, I can't use it when I'm old." ”

The other two: "......" doesn't bring this, who stipulates that you can be shameless when you are old?

"Does Zhang Siqing have any ideas?" Kou Xing asked as he glanced out the window and muttered, "It's almost dawn." ”

The corners of Zhang Siqing's mouth twitched.

How did it become his business?

Of course, no one can run away if they can't think of a solution, and the three of them are grasshoppers on a rope.

Zhang Siqing said euphemistically: "Natural disasters are much easier to accept than man-made disasters. ”

When it comes to their current status, there are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, and they can be understood at all.

The officials investigated the case overnight, fell asleep from sleepiness, and the oil lamp accidentally overturned and lit the account book, which was much better than someone sneaking into the criminal department and pouring medicine on a group of officials.

The former is directly pushed to the accident, and the latter has more things to pull.

What is the identity of the little official?

If it was an outsider, how did he infiltrate the yamen of the Criminal Department? Are those guards all decorations? If they are really from the Criminal Department, then who recommended this little official in the first place? And who instructed him to do such a thing?

If they can't hand them over, is there something wrong with their abilities?

The series of problems caused by this was enough for the emperor to tear off the official uniforms of the three of them.

"What do you two adults think?" asked Zhang Siqing tentatively.

Zuodu Yushi's face sank like water, and he thought for a long time and said: "Even if it is a natural disaster, the emperor may still be furious." ”

"There's no way around that. Zhang Siqing sighed.

Their bad luck is certain, it's just a matter of the size of the bad luck.

"Kou Shangshu, what do you think?"

Kou Xing closed his eyes and did not say a word.

The corners of Zhang Siqing's mouth twitched, and his tone was aggravated: "Kou Shangshu!"

Is this old thing asleep?

Kou Xingze opened his eyes at this time, glanced at the two comrades-in-arms, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to invite the champion Hou over and see if there is a way." ”

"The account books are burned, what's the use of inviting the champion Hou to come?" Zhang Siqing was puzzled.

Kou Xing thought that his grandson-in-law Shao Mingyuan was also a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and sighed and explained: "After all, one of the account books was brought back by the champion Hou, what if the champion Hou transcribed it?"

Zhang Siqing and Zuo Du Yushi glanced at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads.

Champion Hou Yijie Wufu, can you think of transcribing the account book?

No, even they wouldn't do such a troublesome thing when they were away from home.

"Anyway, let him ask him first. Kou Xing rubbed his eyebrows and said.

In the Champion Hou Mansion, Shao Mingyuan was sleeping soundly, and the guards whispered: "General, wake up, someone from the Criminal Department is here." ”

Shao Mingyuan opened his eyes vigilantly, turned over and got out of bed: "What's the matter?"

The guards handed over the outer robe, Shao Mingyuan took it and put it on, put on the fox fur on the screen, and walked out with his feet raised.

The yamen of the Criminal Department was brightly lit, and Shao Mingyuan glanced at it after the officials sent to invite him arrived, and he knew that something was wrong.

Kou Xing waited in the inner room, and when he came in, they all stood up.

After saying hello, Shao Mingyuan looked at Kou Xingze and asked respectfully, "Kou Shangshu called me here and I don't know what happened?"

On such an occasion, he naturally had to call Kou Xing with an official title, not his maternal grandfather.

"The study was drained at night, and the two vital books were burned. Facing this powerful grandson-in-law, Kou Xing had a complicated mood and got straight to the point.

Shao Mingyuan listened, and there was not much change on his face.

When he came, he could see that he had walked through the water here, and there was still wet black water on the ground, and then he thought of calling him in the middle of the night, and he already had a faint count in his heart.

Seeing that Shao Mingyuan's face did not change, Zhang Siqing looked surprised: "Could it be that Master Hou has other preparations?"

"Huh?" Shao Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The account book that Xing Wuyang Tongwei brought back was brought back by Hou Ye, could it be that Hou Ye had transcribed another copy?" Zhang Siqing asked with hope.

There is no way to keep the other account book, and it is okay to keep one, so that the emperor's treatment of them will be lighter. You must know that what really made the emperor really angry was originally the account book of Xing Wuyang.

Shao Mingyuan shook his head: "Ben Hou didn't transcribe it separately. ”

Kou Xingze's last bit of hope for the three of them was completely broken, but he heard Shao Mingyuan's tone change and said, "However, the account book can still be recovered." ”
