The next day, Tian Wenjing had breakfast, and then proposed to go to the grain depot to check. The governor of Shaanxi-Western couldn't, so he had to take the account books and take a group of people with him.

On the huge flat ground are towering granaries, each of which is full of yellow, orange, orange and golden grain, and a sharp point emerges from the top of the unsealed mouth, which looks very gratifying.

The governor of Shaanxi-West pointed to the granary and said, "Lord Tian and Lord Lin, please see, this is the 340,000 stone grain collected by Shaanxi-West this year, all of which are waiting for inspection here." As for what the Governor of Sichuan said, it was all nonsense, and he also asked Lord Tian and Lord Lin to replace his official Zhaoxue. ”

Liu Yu nodded and smiled, but Tian Wenjing approached and tapped the wall of the warehouse with his knuckles. A thick beep sounded, and it seemed that the granary was indeed full, not partitioned by a wooden plank, and only the top layer was stacked.

After Tian Wenjing finished tapping one by one, Liu Yu asked with a smile, "How?" ”

Tian Wenjing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's all full." ”

The governor of Shaanxi-Western Province secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took out the account book and opened it, and explained page by page: "Two lords, please see, in the past five years, Shaanxi-Western has collected a total of 2.36 million stone of grain, which is used for disaster relief of 10 to 200,000 stone every year, and in addition to the 420,000 stone collected this year, there is also a lot of surplus grain stored in the granary in the eastern suburbs. If you are interested, we can take you two to check it out. So much food is enough to relieve the affected people, so that they will not be in danger, but they still rebel, but they are bewitched by Ivanov, the envoy of the Far East of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and it is definitely not the responsibility of the king of Xining. ”

Liu Yu listened with a smile, nodded frequently, and walked to the granary when he finished speaking. "Just knocking out how to be thorough?" It is also necessary to take out all the grain to check and weigh it. ”

"This, how much manpower and material resources do it take?" The governor of Shaanxi-Western trembled violently.

Tian Wenjing was originally a little dissatisfied with Liu Yu's passive sabotage. At this moment, he had nothing to say, and immediately waved his hand at the chief, signaling him to look for labor.

"You don't have to spend a lot of money." Liu Yu looked around, dismantled a bamboo pole that supported the granary, cut it down, sharpened it with a dagger, and pierced through the diaphragm, easily inserting it into the wooden barn wall. With a light tap on the wall of the warehouse, golden particles gurgled out, but they were not full of grain. Rather, it was a small stream of river sand, which soon poured out all over the ground.

The governor of Shaanxi-Western shivered as he stared at the fine sand that was almost over the upper of his shoes. Liu Yu pulled out the bamboo tube and inserted it into the next granary. It was still fine sand instead of grains pouring out. More than a dozen were inspected in succession. He finally waved his hand and said softly: "It seems that it's time to ask for Shang Fang's sword......" Looking at the governor of Shaanxi-West who was already paralyzed on the ground and kowtowing frequently, his voice suddenly became cold, "Someone, take the governor of Shaanxi-West to the prison pending trial!" Officials above the fifth grade on the scene, whether innocent or not, were temporarily detained! Meng Xingsoul gave up his orders and captured all the eligible officials present.

Tian Wenjing knocked hard all morning. The joints were all red, but they were almost fooled. On the contrary, Liu Yu only took a moment to control the whole scene, so that he had to obey. After settling down, he arched his hand and said, "Lord Lin is clever, and this official is ashamed!" ”

"Lord Tian is too anxious, and if he is anxious, it is easy to fall into chaos." Liu Yu smiled lightly and waved his hand, pointing to the rows of granaries and said, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." If Shaanxi-Sinai is a barren land, if four or five hundred thousand stone of grain can be produced every year and handed over to the imperial court, why will the people starve and freeze and rise up? No matter how much scheming the governor of Shaanxi-West spends to cover up, he will know when he dismantles the granary and inspects it......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Tian Wenjing again, "This batch of fake grain is the biggest clue and incriminating evidence, and it will never be able to run, so it doesn't hurt to be fast and slow for a day." Now that all the officials involved have been taken into custody, and the other four provinces will be able to get the news in a few days, from this moment on, we should be anxious and be sure to torture the confession as quickly as possible! ”

Tian Wenjing echoed continuously, sent Liu Yu and his party away, paced to the bamboo tube that was still in the sand, and asked in a low voice, "Insert the sharpened bamboo tube into the thickened wooden board like tofu, can you do it?" ”

The self-proclaimed kung fu Chang Sui waved his hand in shame, "The subordinates are incompetent." ”

Tian Wenjing shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect me to look away, although this Lord Lin is young, he has outstanding ability, he can be described as both civil and military, and his vision is still so sharp...... In this way, the master's plan has another resistance. ”

Chang Sui hesitated and said: "Master, although this Lord Lin is powerful, he is not necessarily a sworn friend today, can't we fight for it?" ”

"Don't you know, this Lord Lin has taken refuge in Jinshang's door several years ago, so to speak, he is the right-hand man cultivated by Jinshang. Jinshang's attention to him is beyond your imagination, if it weren't for Jinshang's trust in him too much, and even scolding the old man under his door for him, I wouldn't ...... Forget it, for now, you assign some people to keep an eye on him, and if there is a chance, we will solve this obstacle for the master! Tian Wenjing caught a handful of fine sand and ordered softly. The chief went away with the command.

The power of Wang Fuguo of Xining County in the northwest is deep-rooted, and he is not only greedy himself, but also encourages his subordinates to be greedy, and those who have a close relationship with him can even fabricate the disaster situation to draw up the number and regularly take money from the treasury. Officials of all sizes in the northwest were co-opted and bribed by him, from the governor of a province to the small officials of the government, all of whom listened to his orders, but they did not know that there was a monarch's law. It is not an exaggeration to say that the northwest is a country within a country, and Wang Fuguo is a king of kings. As a result, the difficulty of the interrogation has increased exponentially. Everyone gritted their teeth and refused to let go, and when they beat hard, they shouted injustice, and some people even simply ran into death.

After most of the night, he didn't ask a word, Tian Wenjing rubbed his temples and said with a tired face, "Lord Lin, I'm afraid I can't ask anything today, let's go back and rest for the time being, how about a retrial tomorrow after recuperating enough?" ”

"The middle of the night is the time when people are most tired and sleepy, and it is also the best time for interrogation. If you want to rest, go away, and I'll judge it myself. After speaking, Liu Yu drew his dagger, paced in front of a row of torture racks, and finally selected a fat official, and said softly: "I don't know if you have ever heard of the punishment of skinning?" The spine is cut in half, and the skin on the back is slowly torn apart like a butterfly spreading its wings, revealing the muscles, blood vessels, and meridians hidden underneath. The whole skin is peeled off, but the person is still alive and well. Can talk, eat, and even run and jump. I heard that this kind of punishment is the most difficult to inflict on fat people, because there is still a pile of manure oil between the skin and the muscles, and it is difficult to separate. I'm going to challenge it today. The words fell and the ghost smiled. continued, "After the execution is completed later, whether you recruit or not, I will let you go back." How, aren't you happy? ”

The official was horrified by his imagination alone, and before he was executed, he had the urge to confess. The others also turned pale. Trembling all over, Tian Wenjing, who was barely staying, also felt a chill in her back.

"Turn him over and tie his hands and feet tightly." Liu Yu beckoned to Meng Xing's soul. Meng Xingsoul hurriedly sent someone to tie the official to the torture rack. He stripped him of his clothes.

"How much people's fat and people's ointment have you eaten to raise such a thick plate oil? I'll give you a scratch today. Liu Yu slapped the fat on his waist with the back of the knife, and when he was cold and shivering for a moment, he suddenly raised the blade and quickly drew a blood line on his back. The fat man himself did not feel the slightest pain, but the officials who were tied to the left and right torture racks saw it clearly. Qi Qi gasped.

Liu Yu grabbed the thin skin with his left hand. Holding the knife in his right hand to split the oily and yellowish fat, blood circulating between the throbbing muscles and the jumping green tendons, exuding a strong fishy smell.

The so-called pain of peeling the skin, the pain is unbearable, the fat official howled miserably, and the only movable head kept shaking, like madness. Everyone in the cell, including Tian Wenjing, who barely maintained her image. They all closed their eyes tightly and didn't dare to watch.

"Ah, I forgot one thing." Liu Yu suddenly stopped. Turning his head and smiling at Meng Xingsoul, "Open their eyes, such a wonderful performance, you can't do without the audience." Meng Xing swallowed his saliva, causing the eyelids of all the prisoners to be propped up with bamboo sticks, and their heads were smashed in the direction of execution.

"Alright, let's move on." Liu Yu cut off a piece of oil and threw it on the ground.

"Spare your life! I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all! The man couldn't take it anymore and shouted hoarsely.

"Can't be recruited! The king of Xining will never be fine! If you don't recruit, there is still a way to live, and if you recruit, you will definitely die, and it will also affect the nine clans! You've got to think it through! One of the prisoners suddenly opened his mouth in warning.

The obese official hesitated when he heard this. Tian Wenjing raised his chin and motioned for the long entourage to close his mouth.

"No, you don't. If there is anything to say, let them say it. Liu Yu smiled lightly and waved his hand. He ignores these people whether he recruits or not, he has been fascinated by the smell of blood in the room, in the capital because of the scruples of the "wide management" of the heavenly way, he has been suppressed for too long and for too long, as the saying goes, "If you don't explode in silence, you are in silence and perverted", Liu Yu is in this state at the moment! His eyes were red and he couldn't stop it, and he picked up the dagger and continued to peel it, with a happy smile on his lips all the time. The skin on his back has been peeled off, and the red muscles, purple blood vessels, and yellow fat are shaking with the convulsions of the obese official, and they look extremely terrifying.

Tian Wenjing covered her mouth and nose with one hand, pressed the churning stomach with the other, turned her head to look back, and her long entourage had run to the corner and vomited, and a sour smell was mixed with the strong bloody gas, which was very unpleasant. At this moment, seven or eight more people vomited one after another, which made the indoor smell even more smoky.

Liu Yu felt something, turned around and smiled, "It'll be fine soon, Lord Tian and bear with me for a while." ”

It was obviously a kinder smile, but Tian Wenjing was so shocked by Liu Yu's red eyes that she almost jumped up, and involuntarily clenched the armrest of the chair.

Suddenly, the fat official really couldn't bear it anymore and shouted again for mercy. Liu Yu regretfully stopped, let Meng Xingsoul take the person down, and only then did he warn the person to continue. has already experienced cruel mental torture, and when it was really his turn, the fear of destroying the world crushed people at once. As soon as a blood line was cut, the man shouted for a move, and when he was taken down, he showed a look of ecstasy for the rest of his life.

Liu Yu continued to pick, and whoever he looked at shouted for mercy, and the confession was particularly refreshing. Liu Yu couldn't, so he had to go to the sink to rinse his bloodstained hands and sigh regretfully.

Tian Wenjing rubbed her churning stomach, stood up and said with a forced smile, "Lord Lin, the lower official will take someone to transcribe the confession and leave first." Subconsciously, Tian Wenjing used the title of "lower official", and was not aware of the fact that Liu Yu's official position was lower than his.

"Master Tian walks slowly." Liu Yu smiled beautifully, diluting a lot of blood.

Walking out of the torture room with the help of Chang Sui, Tian Wenjing's expression was solemn, "I am in the realm of purgatory, but I am still safe." I didn't think I was underestimating this person, but now I found out. He's truly unfathomable. Such a ghost-like figure must not be taken lightly, no, I have to write a letter to my master, telling him to take precautions. ”

"My lord, now the war in the northwest is raging, and the artillery is burning all over the sky. It's normal to die a person, why don't you ......" Chang Sui whispered.

Tian Wenjing immediately interrupted him, "Before I figured out Lin Yu's details." It's best not to act rashly. Besides, the current master's great enemy is still Prince Guo, and only by defeating him and Concubine Zhen first can the emperor's eyes fall on the master. The master also has the strength to fight with today. Chang Sui nodded in agreement. Helped him to the prison for arraignment.

More than 30 people all confessed, and after reviewing the confessions together, Tian Wenjing found that the case was a hundred times stricter than he imagined. The laws of the Celestial Empire say that officials who embezzle ink for an amount of more than 1,000 taels will be dismissed from their posts and investigated; Those who exceed 5,000 taels shall be beheaded for public display. However, of all the officials in Shaanxi and Western China, none of them were able to escape the death penalty, and even the officials around them accompanied them. The number of greedy ink is also more than 10,000 taels. If executed according to the law, the northwestern provinces will no longer be available. The desert area formed by the government.

Among them, the confession of the governor of Shaanxi-Western revealed a remarkable news, Wang Fuguo chose his confidant to follow Wang Liang to take charge of the accounts. In the past five years, the amount of silver in each province has been recorded, and the large head is still a small head for their own use, and the large head is sent to the capital for the prince to squander, and in five years, it is as high as 10 million taels, which is several times the total income of the national treasury. As long as the account book is found, it is ironclad evidence, which is enough to knock the prince of Xining County and Prince Guo into the abyss.

Tian Wenjing immediately sent the confession to Liu Yu to read, and the two did not dare to delay, and rushed to Gansu to capture Wang Liang non-stop. Yinxiang's position as the general king does not depend on the shadow of his ancestors, but on the military exploits that he has worked hard for. As soon as his army entered the northwest, it was overwhelmed, recovering two provinces in succession, forcing the rebels into the Kunlun Mountains, where the terrain was most dangerous and complicated. Therefore, Liu Yu and his entourage did not encounter rebellion by the rebels, and arrived in Lanzhou very smoothly.

"Hey, it's still a step too late after all!" Tian Wenjing lamented at the burned mansion.

Liu Yu paced among the blackened broken rubble, and after a while, he waved at Meng Xing Soul, "Yizhuang can't find the body, and the ruins also have traces of being searched, go and ask the nearby residents, have you seen someone with mysterious whereabouts appear." Meng Xingsoul took the order and left, quickly turned around, and said, "Son, I heard that the fire was set by the chaotic army, and all the twenty-eight people in the royal mansion were burned to death, and their property was also looted. The next day, the imperial court sent troops to take away all the corpses along with the items that had not been looted, and embroidered the word 'Xiang' on the black military flag with gold thread. ”

"It's Prince Yi." Tian Wenjing stepped out of the ruins and boarded the carriage to the barracks. Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders and followed wordlessly.

At this time, it was a truce, but the defense of the barracks was unrelenting. Tian Wenjing took out the Holy Decree and waist card, and crossed the ninefold alert to reach the core area. On the martial arts training ground, there was a black suppression of a group of soldiers, holding spears and broadswords in their hands, their faces were murderous, their mouths were shouting, and a majestic battle spirit was faintly floating, worthy of being the tiger and wolf division in the enemy's mouth, and the elite division in the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire. The spurting killing intent and the surging evil aura boiled Liu Yu's blood. He walked to the front of the martial arts training ground and stopped, unable to take a step no matter what, squinting his eyes slightly, and deeply sniffing the wanton smell of blood in the air.

"Lord Lin, are you okay?" Looking at the corners of Liu Yu's crimson eyes, Tian Wenjing couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

"I'm fine." Liu Yu's voice was hoarse, "You guys go in first, I'll stay here for a while." Tian Wenjing nodded and walked towards the commander's tent.

Yinxiang was naked-naked, with his upper body in check, allowing the military doctor to change the dressing for his injured arm. The medic cut off the blood-stained strip of cloth, saw the red, swollen and purulent wound, frowned, picked up the burning dagger, and carefully removed the carrion. Tian Wenjing, who walked into the camp tent, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene, and hurriedly opened her mouth to express concern.

"This king is fine!" Yin Xiang waved his hand impatiently, picked up the wine jar with his uninjured arm, and poured it into his throat in a big gulp, and ignored the spilled wine in his robe, which had retreated to his waist.

"Lord Wang, your serious injury has not healed, it is better to drink less." Tian Wenjing gently dissuaded.

"Serious injuries that haven't healed? Are you kidding? It's just a bite to be stung by an ant. Yinxiang glanced at him and ordered the military doctor, "If you want to cut it, cut it, what are you rubbing?!" ”

The military doctor only promised to do so, but he was even more cautious.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what do you mean by coming to this king?" After pouring another sip of spirits, Yinxiang got straight to the point.

Although Tian Wenjing was a member of Yinzhen's door before. But he hasn't entered the core layer yet, so he naturally doesn't know the real relationship between Yinzhen and Yinxiang, and he really thinks that there is a dirt between Jinshang and this great general. Although it is not enough to fight, it is certain that they will hate each other. Therefore, Tian Wenjing did not put on the proud posture of the emperor's cha, and gave up his hand to euphemistically recount the matter, begging for the corpses and items seized by the military camp.

"Who says things are in the king's hands? You're looking for the wrong person. Yin Xiang sneered, caught a glimpse of the military doctor hesitating in front of a mass of carrion, and rebuked angrily. If you don't dare to cut it, get out, and the king will do it himself! "When the words fall, he will snatch the dagger.

"Is something coming?" Qingyue's lazy voice came, making Yinxiang stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly turned his head to look at the door, and his expression was very surprised.

"Yu'er, I'm seriously injured! Yu'er, come and save me! "The general king who was still alive and well at the last moment. The next moment, he was lying on the table and screaming like a gossamer. It's as if you're going to die anytime, anywhere.

Tian Wenjing looked at this scene in amazement, who said that he was stung by an ant? How did you get seriously injured in the blink of an eye? Lord Wang, you acted a little fake!

Liu Yu sat down next to Tian Wenjing, stared at Yinxiang, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and said silently with his mouth: "Pretend, you continue to pretend!" ”

"It hurts, it hurts. It hurts, I hurt so badly. My head is also a little hot, Yu'er, you can help me take a look. Yinxiang put on a terminally ill posture and looked at Liu Yu pitifully.

"Yes, don't pretend, I'll help you take care of your wounds, you take us to see the evidence, don't delay my efforts." Liu Yu had enough of watching the play, so he opened his mouth slowly.

Seeing the seriousness in Liu Yu's eyes, Yinxiang immediately stopped, sat down obediently to support his injured arm, and smiled shyly. Tian Wen smiled quietly and did not speak, but secretly measured the relationship between the two in his heart. This Liu Yu is not simple!

Although Yinxiang is often stupid, his smile is hot and simple, so that Liu Yu can't hate it anyway. Although he didn't bend, in the past three years, he had already regarded him as a close friend, walked over to carefully examine the wound, and there was a hint of reproach in his soft voice, "It's inflamed, why don't you treat it earlier, otherwise how can you suffer so much?!" ”

"When you go to the battlefield, how can you say it! I chased Ivanov for five days and five nights, and when I came back, the wound was like this. He has some skills, holding an extended fire system in his hand, and taking my head directly from a thousand steps away, fortunately, my martial arts are better than him, and I can avoid it, and then reflect an arrow, which hits him in the heart, but I didn't think he still has the strength to escape......" Yinxiang tried his best to show his bravery, but the next moment he screamed and called, just because Liu Yu poured liquor into his wound without saying a word.

"You hum and chirp with such a little injury, are you still not a man?" Liu Yu scoffed.

"Everyone has moments of vulnerability, especially in front of loved ones." Yinxiang pouted, looking so aggrieved.

Liu Yu was speechless and rolled his eyes silently. Tian Wenjing choked on the tea, wanted to cough but didn't dare to cough, and her face turned purple. Yinxiang's bodyguard, Yu Xiu, stood up straight, pretending to be deaf and blind, so that he would not be crushed by the cruel reality. And Liu Yu's personal follower Meng Xingsoul lowered his head and smiled, not caring at all about this rival of his own boss.

Yinxiang still refused to stop, every time Liu Yu cut a knife, he wailed and screamed, his rough voice made a small twist and turn, he clearly wanted to be coquettish, but he felt extremely funny in his ears, "Yu'er is light, people hurt~~"

"If it hurts, bite this, don't be crooked like a." Liu Yu took out a handkerchief from his arms and wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but he intercepted it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then dragged it in the palm of his hand with an intoxicated expression, and after a short while, he raised it up and sniffed it, he couldn't put it down. Tian Wenjing looked at his nose and nose and heart, and pretended to drink tea calmly.

Sprinkled with the best gold sore powder, and bandaged the wound with a boiled white cloth, Liu Yu picked up the wine jar and drank a few sips, and said in a deep voice: "Don't get wet, don't drink alcohol, and don't eat spicy food within three days, remember?" ”

"Remembered. You can drink all my good wines for me! You're happy to drink, it's no different from me when you're happy! Yinxiang smiled flatteringly. The military doctor who stepped aside to work as an assistant only felt a sourness. He said the same thing yesterday, but he was kicked out of the camp by the prince! This person and man are really incomparable!

"That's good." On the smell of wine, Liu Yu's black and purple eyes were misty and glowing with water, and he patted the man's cheek after putting down the wine jar. (To be continued......)
