Lord Thorn Shi sat with a dignified face, because he was a little sleepy after waiting for a long time, and was about to get up and move when he suddenly heard footsteps, and when he looked back, it turned out that it was a servant who ran up to report that the suspect had been brought, so he quickly sat down.

Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin stepped into the court, and saw the old woman kneeling on the ground and the little boy, the little boy's wounds all over his body had been plastered, but at this time, he was also kneeling on the ground with the old woman.

He now understands why those officials have portraits of them, presumably the silver ingot that Zhou Ruolin gave to the old woman is the so-called official silver, and she gave it to the old woman without knowing how powerful it is, and the old woman took the little boy to Lang Zhong to see a doctor.

But he wanted to tell the truth what Lin Zi saw, but when he saw that this assassin was in an important position, and the little boy who was covered in bruises did not look at the seat, but let him kneel aside, he felt angry in his heart.

Zhou Ruolin is also pale, presumably with the same idea as Li Tianqi.

After the two of them entered the court, the servants changed into armoured canes and lined up on both sides, while the catcher quickly bowed his hand and stood aside.

As soon as the assassin Shi suddenly saw Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin, one handsome and the other stunning, they were talented and beautiful, different, and they didn't look like the snitch who was walking on the wall in Ayaluo, but he still decided to get off the horse.

"Smack!" The thorn Shi was shocked and said, "Bold! Seeing that the official still doesn't kneel, it's too unusual! Come! ”

"Your Excellency!" The catcher screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to the thorn Shi.

The thorn shook his hand impatiently, "Forget it, forget it." ”

The catcher quickly stepped aside again.

Presumably it was Na Catcher who said what happened to the inn, so the assassin did not pursue the matter of not kneeling, but said loudly: "The people in the hall, can you know the crime?" ”

Li Tianqi said loudly: "Of course Xiaomin knows how to be drunk, and he is so drunk that he can't get drunk. ”

The assassin kicked his eyes and said loudly: "Since you know the crime, why don't you confess quickly?" ”

Li Tianqi said with a smile: "Xiaomin just knows that the adult is drunk, not that Xiaomin is guilty. ”

"Bold!" The assassin was shocked again, and was about to angrily reprimand Li Tianqi, but when he thought of what the catcher said, he held back again, coughed dryly twice and said: "This official has always been honest and honest, and at this moment he is also clear-headed and behaves in accordance with etiquette, why do you, a Diao Min, slander this official and get drunk?" ”

Li Tianqi stretched out his hand and pointed to the two people kneeling in front of the hall and said, "Even if it's a suspect, you don't have to treat it like this, right?" Besides, that three-year-old child is not sensible, and he is covered in injuries, and your parents still say that they have a clear mind and behave in a polite manner? Even if a three-year-old child does commit a crime, should he be treated like this? ”

"You...... You...... You ......" The thorn Shi was so angry that he couldn't find anything to refute him, and he was angry for a while.

Zhou Ruolin raised her head and said, "That's right. This is not what parents should do in this way. The facts of the case are unknown, why bother a child? ”

Li Tianqi arched his hand to heaven and said: "The Son of Heaven is still a corporal, your parents in Yizhou should take the Son of Heaven as an example, how dare you act like this?" ”

As soon as the assassin heard the word Son of Heaven, his whole body trembled, he had already noticed that Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin were extraordinary, and at this moment, when he heard this young man Lang Lang say the word Son of Heaven, his face did not change, and he looked upright, and he muttered in his heart, could these two still have a connection with the Son of Heaven? Not to mention the ordinary grass people, even some rich sons and squires will feel timid when they see their officials, but they have a sense of anger hidden in them, what is the reason? Could it be that they were sent by the Son of Heaven to secretly investigate the case of the loss of official silver? Thinking of this, the assassin suddenly felt restless.

But worthy of being a local governor who has been in business for many years, he immediately pointed at the catcher and said angrily: "You have done a good job!" Why don't you hurry up and help them up, rest later, and serve them well. ”

"Yes." The catcher opened his eyes wide and looked dazed, but he had also been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he had never seen any wind and waves in the world.

The old woman was in a trance because she had been kneeling for too long, and glanced at Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin slightly, nodded slightly with gratitude in her eyes, and then was helped back by them to rest.

"Scattered!" The thorn Shi waved his hand, and the officer felt a little inexplicable, how could it be like thunder and rain for a while, but in a blink of an eye, the clouds and fog dissipated.

But they didn't say anything, they were hungry at the moment, so they hurriedly put away their things and dispersed.

The thorn Shi smiled, got down from his seat, and arched his hand: "Two, two, two, sorry, sorry." It's just a try, please forgive me. ”

Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin also felt a little inexplicable, this governor of Yizhou, who was black-faced and red-faced for a while, really made people a little uncomfortable, but they both saw that this person still corrected it immediately, and helped the old woman and the little boy back to rest, so they were no longer angry.

The two also returned the salute.

Seeing this, the assassin was even more apprehensive in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and led back, and said: "The two of you, please watch the tea in the backyard of the official, and please listen to the official in detail about the matter." ”

Li Tianqi already felt that things were strange, how could this accidental encounter suddenly be connected again, and it also involved official silver, he had read the books of the law, this theft of official silver can be very different from the criminal law of stealing ordinary silver, and it may lead to death if it is serious, so this is not a small case.

That's why he saw that the old woman and the little boy were inadvertently involved, and he must find a way to save them from their predicament. However, since the two of them have now been resettled and will not suffer for the time being, then it is indeed necessary to understand the facts of the case in detail, so that they can have a judgment on the matter.

"Okay, then there's Master Lao's assassination." Li Tianqi stretched out his hand and said, "Please." Since the other party is already so polite, he can't be rude.

Seeing that Li Tianqi was also familiar with the etiquette of the imperial court, and his demeanor was not like a temporary Buddha's foot, he affirmed the speculation in his heart even more.

Yizhou has a vast area, as a state of parents, his courtyard residence is also quite large according to the system, there are not only pavilions and pavilions, but also koi pond gardens.

After walking to the backyard for a while, he came to a quiet building, and sat down with the two of them, and the thorn Shi instructed his subordinates to make a pot of fragrant tea, and prepared some melons and fruits at four o'clock and supper.

After chatting for a while, the food and tea were brought up one by one.

The thorn Shi branch away, then closed the door and pointed to the things on the table, and said, "Two of you, please." ”

Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin said in unison: "Your Excellency, please." ”

The three of them used some fragrant tea, and then the assassin asked, "Are you two from the imperial city?" ”

Li Tianqi didn't understand what he meant, and when he was about to think about it, Zhou Ruolin smiled lightly and said: "Sure enough, it is Lord Thorn Shi, his eyes are like a torch, and his eyes are good at people." ”

In fact, Zhou Ruolin's words originally meant to imply that he was confused in handling the case, but when Na Thorn Shi heard it, he thought that it was her appreciation of herself, and she couldn't help but be a little secretly complacent, which was equivalent to acquiescing that they were people from the imperial city. His heart suddenly moved, and he became a little apprehensive.

"Then the lower official has seen Lord Qincha!" The assassin quickly got up and was about to bow down, with a somewhat sincere and frightened look, and even changed his claim.

Li Tianqi was amused in his heart, he didn't expect Zhou Ruolin to answer so cleverly this time, and he didn't say it explicitly, but he was so frightened that this assassin bowed to him. He also got up and pulled up the thorn Shi at the moment and said, "What are you going to do, don't make a noise." ”

Of course, Li Tianqi understood, and when he said this, Zhou Ruolin's words were even more round, and at this time, the assassin was already convinced. After thanking him, he followed Li Tianqi back to his seat, and then said eloquently: "The two of you must have some understanding of being able to come here, and there is a big case in the state capital of Xiaguan." ”

Zhou Ruolin said: "But you have lost a lot of official silver? ”

The thorn Shi was slightly stunned, didn't speak, just nodded fiercely, and then hammered the table and said, "The hateful subordinate has no clues yet." That's why I ......"

Li Tianqi said: "So that's the case, no wonder you hurriedly brought us as soon as you found the clues of this official bank." ”

When the assassin heard this, his forehead was sweating, and he immediately got up and arched his hand: "The lower officials know that they are reckless, and they hope that the superiors will be considerate." ”

Li Tianqi said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." But the old woman and the little boy, thou shalt treat them well, and morrow they will be released and settled, and how much of their silver taels shall be confiscated by you, and thou shalt return them in full. ”

"Of course, not only will the amount be returned, but the lower officials will also buy a house for the two of them." The thorn couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Good. That's the best. Zhou Ruolin said with a smile.

Li Tianqi said: "You can now tell the whole story of the matter. ”

"Yes, yes." The thorn nodded again and again, trembled slightly, picked up a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he eased his nerves and said, "That was a month ago. At that time, the treasury had a total of 1,000,000 taels of gold and 30,000,000 taels of silver. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also personally inquired about the matter, but at a critical moment, all the gold and silver in the treasury disappeared overnight, which made the lower officials good? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious when he heard about it, and ordered the officials to investigate the case within a month, but now more than ten days have passed, and no clues have been found. Alas......"

The assassin said, with a sad face but nothing to do, it seems that he is really overwhelmed by this case.

How did so much gold and silver disappear out of thin air?
