After the two returned to the back hall of the mansion, they told Wei Yongnian about the interrogation process just now and the confessions of the three people one by one, Qi Runben said sadly: "Manager Wei, you said that these gangsters are really stubborn enough, I didn't expect the gangsters in Nancheng to be so rough and thick-skinned, I have heard that the gangsters in Nancheng have all practiced steel and iron bones, but I didn't expect that when I saw them today, their mouths were tight enough." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei Yongnian nodded slightly and replied, "They are so stubborn and hard-mouthed, but you, Lord Qi, are not inferior to them at all." If I'm not mistaken, Lord Qi, haven't you already revealed some of the evidence? Then they still don't recognize it, right? ”

As soon as Qi Runben heard Wei Yongnian's words, he was taken aback and said, "Manager Wei...... How do you know? Wei Yongnian lightly pointed to the letter in Wu Chang's hand and said, "Isn't the letter in Master Wu's hand the hand-copied letter I gave you?" After speaking, Qi Runben turned his head and looked at the letter in Wu Chang's hand, and then suddenly nodded and said, "Oh, yes, yes, the lower officials did show up, but they still didn't recognize it." Xia Guan really doesn't know what to do, I hope Manager Wei can help Xia Guan and give Xia Guan some guidance? ”

Wei Yongnian shook his head lightly and said: "Lord Qi, what you said is a bit too modest, as far as I know, you have such a smart person as Master Wu by your side to give you advice, and usually give you a lot of advice in other cases to help you solve the case, and you are not completely dependent on Master Wu, are you?" Master Qi, you are also a Jinshi, and you are not an ordinary idle person who can get the rank of Jinshi, you are also a smart person, how can you be confused in this case? If my guess is correct, you already have a plan in mind at this moment. As the saying goes, one foot tall and one foot high, but now it seems that you are one foot tall and one foot high! Lord Qi, I'm just waiting for your good news. ”

This Qi Runben was a little stunned at first when Wei Yongnian said this, but after thinking about it for a while, he also admired this person very much, he didn't expect that the housekeepers of the Nangong Mansion were so scheming, and they could see through what others were thinking in their hearts. Having said that, Qi Runben really couldn't figure out where Wei Yongnian saw this, he already had a coping strategy. Immediately, Qi Runben faintly returned Wei Yongnian with a smile and retreated. And Wei Yongnian also politely replied to Qi Runben with a smile and turned around and left the mansion. Then Wei Yongnian went to Fengshui Street to continue to keep an eye on it.

After Wei Yongnian left, Qi Runben said to Master Wu: "Go back to the study with me." See how I clean them up and keep them from confessing. With that, he and Wu Changgao walked straight towards the study.

Back in the study, Qi Runben asked Wu Changgao to help him study ink, while Qi Runben picked up the brush and wrote "swish". After about a cup of tea, Qi Runben put down the pen in his hand, and then he pointed to the written notice with one hand on his waist and the other on his waist, and said lightly: "How about you look at this?" ”

Wu Changgao stepped forward and read word by word: "The announcement, inform the people of Nancheng, since the outbreak of the poisoning case in Nancheng, the government after several days of follow-up investigation finally arrested the people involved in the case and detained them in prison, after a whole day of interrogation, the people involved in the case finally confessed, hereby issue this announcement to inform the victims, you will eventually be comforted, and the poisoners involved in the case will finally get the punishment they deserve." June 27, 42nd year of Kanglong, the deacon's office in Nancheng. After reading the announcement, Wu Changgao always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked worriedly, "Although it is no problem for the lord to look at the announcement this way, but there is a certain risk in it, to put it bluntly, it is gambling psychology, if this does not achieve the result you want, then we will fall into a deadlock, and if we know about this matter, and in the end we will be held responsible, then we will be speechless, and to judge the case with this gambling psychology, this is not advisable in this dynasty, Once we are held accountable, it is said that the black gauze hat on our heads cannot be saved, but I am afraid that our lives will not be spared, sir, you still need to be cautious in this matter. ”

"Grow taller, I'll admit you're right." Qi Runben replied lightly, "This is indeed gambling, but for this case, we have come to this point, and if we don't gamble once, we can't get the confession we want from those three people, right?" It's all forced to come to this step, since it's all dead horizontally and vertically, it's better to gamble once, in case this pole goes down, there will be a big fish on the bait, and then it can save our lives. ”

“……。” After listening to Qi Runben's words, Wu Changgao looked at him quietly, silent for a while, Qi Runben saw that he didn't say anything and continued: "Changgao, sometimes you need to look farther, think about it, if you lose the bet, then someone in this case will still get the punishment they deserve, if the bet wins, then this is also a great achievement, don't you think about it?" In the final analysis, the three people in the prison are all dead, and we are at most imprisoned or dismissed, if it is good, it will be a crime that is not deeply investigated, even if this case touches people who should not be touched, then we will directly resign and retire to the countryside, and from then on, incognito, how can he find us and take our lives? ”

Under Qi Runben's several words, Wu Changgao was finally said a little changed, he thought deeply about what Qi Runben said, and felt that although it was very risky and full of bets, he felt that what Qi Runben said was also a little reasonable, and if he couldn't fight, he would just become a common person overnight. So he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and let go, anyway, it was not the first time to do this kind of thing, and he had already embarked on this road without hesitation since he followed Qi Runben. It doesn't matter how many times I do it, so I said: "Okay, since you've made a decision, master, I won't say anything else about growing taller, anyway, when the master walks there, I'll follow Wu Changgao there." ”

“……。” Hearing Wu Changgao's heartfelt words, Qi Run was moved and didn't know how to say it, and after his mood stabilized a little, he said, "Growing taller in this life, my Qi Run can instinctively get such a good housekeeper or even a good confidant as you, and I am really dumbfounded." Then let's not talk nonsense, let's just let it go. After speaking, Qi Run instructed the official to post the announcement he had just written. Then Qi Runben said to Wu Changgao: "Next, we can only wait quietly." Let's see if any fish are coming to bite the hook. ”

Soon after this announcement was posted, that is, on the fourth day, sure enough, someone came to visit the prison of the deacon of Nancheng late at night. Although there were no casualties, someone snooped on Qi Runben and made Qi Runben feel particularly happy, he couldn't help patting Wu Changgao's shoulder and said, "Look, it's finally here after four days of waiting." Now we can ask Wei Yongnian for help, he has practiced the family, if he is willing to help us, then we will be like God's help. ”

And Wu Changgao looked at the results, he couldn't believe it, there was really a fish to bite the hook, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "I can't believe it, this half of the game is really the right chip." Sir, did you come out of a casino in your last life? When Qi Runben heard this, he couldn't help but smile "haha", and said: "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk indiscriminately, do you know that there are strict regulations in this dynasty, the first is that there can be no bad style in the third official of the dynasty, and gambling is the first one." If I have a gambling status, do you think I can still sit in the deacon's yamen in the southern city? I'm not even in my previous life, but this time it's God helping me. Okay, without further ado, let's go find Wei Yongnian quickly. After speaking, he took Wu Changgao to Nangong Mansion to discuss the matter with Wei Yongnian.

As soon as Wei Yongnian heard that the fish had finally taken the bait, he said, "In this case, it would be too inauthentic if I didn't help with this." Lord Qi, please rest assured, Wei will definitely help to the end, please go back to the house first, and I will arrive later. After speaking, he sent Qi Runben and them out of Nangong Mansion first, and then he went back to the house to pack the necessary things.

Just as Wei Yongnian was packing up the items he needed, Nangong Tian walked in and said, "Yongnian, has the situation progressed?" When Wei Yongnian heard this, he stopped what he was doing and replied: "Master Hui, yes, as you expected, the fish has finally taken the bait." Nangong Tianyi nodded lightly when he heard this, and said, "You must be more careful this time." It seems that the other party must be prepared. You can't be careless. Wei Yongnian nodded and replied: "Yes, Yongnian knows, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter according to your initial expectations this time." After listening to Wei Yongnian's answer, Nangong Tian nodded with satisfaction, and only stood aside with a faint "um" and quietly watched Wei Yongnian pack up.

This night in the sky only vaguely see the looming moon, even the stars in the night sky should be completely covered by the thick clouds, even in the hot summer, in such a cloudy night will blow from time to time a cool breeze, so that the hot night suddenly seems a lot cooler.

In such a quiet night, Wei Yongnian squatted quietly in the cell, quietly waiting for the people who were ready to rob the prison, just when the watchmen outside had beaten the four watches, suddenly a mysterious black shadow flew in from the outer wall of the deacon's mansion. Immediately, the black shadow knocked out the guards guarding the prison door and entered the cell. The cell bosses in the prison drank all the things that were confused, and they were basically no threat to him. So he rushed in like the wind. He followed the route he had taken before to the door of the prison where the three people were held, because the light in the cell was very dim, and he couldn't see if the person lying on the cell bed was the person he was looking for, so he took out three darts from his waist, and with a few "whoosh" strokes, they were all stuck on the quilt, and the quilt was deeply sunken. He checked a little that there was no movement, and he was about to leave.

But at this moment, the cell suddenly lit up. The dark shadow was suddenly blinded by the blinding candle flame, and he raised his hand to half-cover his eyes, deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
