"Liu Hongbao, are you guilty?" Master Liu, who was shocked by this shout, almost peed, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

But I heard Wang Baoye say again: "Assist Shangguan, release people privately, deceive, conceal and not report!" Do you know what the Chief Soldier will do to you if I report this matter to the Chief Soldier? ”

Master Liu complained in his heart, this matter was clearly the idea of the Song Governor's Mansion, what does it have to do with him? Governor Song's private release of criminals, didn't he help hide it? You must know that the Song prefect is his food and clothing parents! If the prefect is sold, the newly arrived officials will not dare to use him again, and he will be considered a loss of fat. What's more, if there is a new prefect, it may not be as easy to fool as the Song prefect.

Now it's good, this king joined the army and didn't rush to the Song prefect's mansion, but he was ready to go to the corner of the trench from him, but it really made him in a dilemma.

"Contempt...... I really don't know what the official is talking about. He said stiffly.

Wang Baoye sneered: "Don't think that you can fool anyone by reporting a violent death!" Who doesn't know the usual methods used by cell bosses? If you want to get a dead corpse and send our commander-in-chief, don't think too simply! Now that you can honestly explain the whereabouts of the criminal, it can be regarded as atonement, as long as you can help me find the kid surnamed Han, I will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of the chief soldier, and the crime committed by the person who was released without permission has nothing to do with you. ”

"Where is it, people can't die anymore! Official, please be clear! Master Liu gritted his teeth and insisted.

Wang Baoye saw that he was biting to death and refused to confess, and he felt a little impatient in his heart. He is the confidant of the general soldier, and the Fengzhou border army, especially the iron cavalry, most of them are the old subordinates of the Han family, and the process of the general army of Qi taking over the Fengzhou army is not smooth, although there is nothing to do on the surface, but secretly disrespect the military order, and there are not a few people who stumble.

The secret order given by the emperor was to kill the Han family, and the original plan was that as soon as the Han family returned to Beijing, Han Ye could be easily eliminated, but the Han brothers had been running Fengzhou for many years, and many people in Fengzhou were raised by them, so General Qi was taboo, for fear that publicly killing Han Ye would cause a mutiny, so he could only be sent to Liangzhou to be imprisoned, ready to drag it out for a year and a half, and then quietly except for him, in case of accidents.

This time I came to Liangzhou just to attack Han Ye in the most reluctant, and I was a hundred. But I didn't expect the Liangzhou Mansion to report that Han Ye had died violently? Wang Baoye was suspicious, it was too coincidental, in his opinion, it was more likely that some powerful forces in the Fengzhou army learned that they were going to make a move, so they made a secret Chen Cang and transferred Han Ye out of the city.

He narrowed his eyes, put away the ruthlessness on his face, and replaced it with a smiling face and said to Master Liu: "Master, do you know that there is still a clerical missing by our Lord General Soldier?" ”

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, and then realized, is this hard not soft?

"The clerk next to our chief soldier is at least a six-grade official, compared to you, the prefect who is not in the stream, I wonder if Master Liu has any intentions? Do you need me to introduce you to the Commander-in-Chief? ”

Master Liu's heart moved, is the official of the sixth grade? He...... Is it possible for him to be an official?

Master Liu, who was born in Xiucai, has been tested for a lifetime of fame, but he has not been able to go further. didn't even touch the edge of the official's hat, this is his biggest regret, if he can really have an official...... He Liu Hongbao is willing to die!

"Contempt...... I...... I ......" He hesitated to get up.

Wang Baoye saw that his words were loose, and he hurriedly increased his weight: "Do you know how important someone Han is to our general soldier?" To tell you the truth, if you can help find Han Ye, in addition to the position of clerk, I can also guarantee that you get a reward of five hundred taels of silver! ”

Master Liu is an official fan, and even more so, an official fan who loves money, but this sentence poked at his weakness. He hesitated again and again, but he didn't dare to directly betray the Song Prefect and cut off his back road, so he had an idea as soon as his mind moved.

He restrained his mood and said to Wang Baoye: "Official, if you don't have a small thing, you can't just talk about it, right?" The person is really dead, our lord has not hidden anything, and there is no such thing as a private release. It's not early, if the official has nothing to do, it's better to rest early. After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Baoye to speak, and ran away.

Wang Baoye was suspicious in his heart, Master Liu's appearance was clearly moved, he originally thought that Master Liu would confess in the future, but he didn't expect that he still insisted on claiming that Han Ye had died. Could it be that Han Ye is really dead?

But he said that Master Liu hurriedly returned to his house, looked for his mother-in-law Cui's instructions, and said: "Go, hurry up to your sister's house to spread the word, and be sure to let her deliver a letter at the door of the yamen after dawn." ”

Mrs. Liu went straight to the medical hall as she said and knocked on the door of Liu's house in the middle of the night.

The two sisters entered the back room one after the other, and Mrs. Liu pulled Cui Shi and said, "Sister still blames me for what happened to my predecessor?" ”

Cui's frowned and didn't speak, her sister-in-law's family squeezed out the Liu family's wealth, if it weren't for the funeral of her man Liu Xiucheng, the Liu family sent someone to send a funeral of twenty taels, she wouldn't let her sister-in-law enter the door tonight!

"Sister!" Mrs. Liu said, "A few hundred taels of silver is a lot in my sister's opinion, but what is it in the officialdom?" My father-in-law helped to entrust people up and down, and he didn't settle down after the last day, so he was really blind. ”

Cui Shi didn't want to argue with her, so he only said disheartenedly: "Forget about the past, my man is dead now, there is nothing left in the house, I don't know if my sister came to the door in the middle of the night, what is the so-called thing?" ”

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Naturally, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I am here to give my sister a good deed to make money." ”

As soon as he heard that there was silver, Cui's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "But what do you say?" ”

"Someone from the Fengzhou army came tonight to interrogate a prisoner surnamed Han. But this man fell ill the day before yesterday, and the prefect was afraid of causing a plague in prison, so he threw him into a mass grave on the outskirts of the city and left him to fend for himself. In the face of the visitors from Toyozhou, it is difficult for adults to explain, and they can only say that the prisoner is dead. The visitors from Toyosu offered a reward of 500 taels of silver to find the whereabouts of this person, and whoever it was, as long as they helped to catch the criminal, they could get a heavy reward of silver. Our lord unexpectedly learned of the whereabouts of the man, but it was inconvenient to dismantle the prefect's lord's platform in person, so he thought about it and simply came to tell you, you came forward to stab this matter, how about you and I split the money together? ”

"Five hundred taels? Looking for a prisoner? When Cui Shi heard the five hundred taels of silver, his heart was alive, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but worry, "Is there danger?" ”

"Afraid of what? It's just a death row prisoner, and there is no possibility of releasing him if he is caught, are you still afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future? Mrs. Liu encouraged.

"This ...... I have to counsel with my son. Cui couldn't make up his mind, so he thought of his son again.

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes disdainfully, and said: "Time waits for no one, the visitors from Fengzhou will return at dawn, even if we want to report at that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a way." What's more, this matter also involves the enemies of your family, you have to think about it carefully! ”

"What enemy? Auntie might as well be clear. Suddenly, Liu Xucheng's voice came out next to him: "It's inconvenient for my mother to come forward, I can do it for me." ”
