Han Yunong walked out of the main hall and was taken to the side hall, where he saw Qin Xiao sitting on a chair waiting, and a smile finally appeared on his lips: "Qin Xiao!" ”

Qin Xiao was sitting on the chair thoughtfully, when he heard Han Yunong's voice, he turned his head to look at it, immediately got up, and said happily: "Lord Duwei." He stepped forward and said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Han Yunong patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder: "It's hard for you." ”

Zhu Dongshan followed behind and said with a smile: "If Qin Xiao hadn't come to the Criminal Department to report the case, it would have been really difficult for our Criminal Department to meddle in this case." Han Duwei, you really want to thank Qin Xiao. He added: "You wait here first, and if you need someone to come over, then when the ministry is done, it will naturally settle you." ”

"There's Lord Law." Han Yunong and Qin Xiao thanked Zhu Dongshan together.

Zhu Dongshan smiled, turned around and went out.

The two sat down in the hall, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Duwei, you are safe and sound, I will rest assured." ”

"Don't worry. We're done with our entry into Beijing. Han Yunong said: "I handed over the excerpt to Zhu Shilang, and the excerpt was presented to the palace, and the sage has already seen it and knows the truth about what happened in Xiling." The things that need to be done have been done, and the next thing is life or death, so we don't have to care. ”

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "My lord, is it ..... The court still wants to condemn us? ”

"You don't have to worry, if you really have something, I'll take care of it." Han Yunong said: "But now, my life and death no longer matter, and the court may not punish me." ”

"Fan Shangshu was brought over, I'm afraid the military department will be in trouble." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "During the Xiling Mutiny, the Changsheng Army did not leave the customs in time, this is a problem of the Ministry of War, and Fan Shangshu is to blame. ”

Han Yunong glanced out the door, glanced at Qin Xiao, and shook his head.

Qin Xiao comprehended.

This is in the yamen of the criminal department, although there is no one else in the side hall, but speaking in the criminal department, there are ears and eyes all around, and some words should be cautious here.

"Do you have a tiger head jade pendant on you?" Han Yunong asked in a low voice.

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Always carry it with you." ”

"That's good." Han Yunong said: "We have reported the military situation of Xiling to the imperial court, but the excerpt presented to the sage was written by me, which not only reported the military situation of Xiling, but also wrote the truth on the excerpt of everything that happened to the military department in the past few days. ”

Qin Xiao frowned, he used the Criminal Department to deal with the Ministry of War, just to rescue Han Yunong, but now the situation has become complicated, although Fan Wenzheng has no chance to attack Han Yunong again, but the Criminal Department wants to bring down Fan Wenzheng, Han Yunong has become an important chess piece in the hands of the Criminal Department, and I don't know how this case will develop, and Han Yunong's future is even more uncertain.

"But you didn't get involved too deeply, you just reported the case, and I'll put a fingerprint on the disappearance case file later, and the disappearance case you were involved in will be closed." Han Yunong said softly: "There is no reason for the Criminal Department to keep you anymore, after you leave the Criminal Department, leave the capital as soon as possible, rush to Woye Town, and go to General Liu Jingang Liu of Woye Town." ”

"To Woye?"

"Not bad." Han Yunong bowed slightly, leaned close to Qin Xiao, and said in a low voice: "Liu Jingang is the general's confidant and favorite general, before the general left Woye Town, he presented it to the imperial court and promoted Liu Jingang to take over the post of General Woye Zhenwei, so the town army in Woye Town is now under the command of General Liu." You have a tiger head jade pendant in your hand, and when you see General Liu, take out the tiger head jade pendant, and General Liu will know that you are his own person, and he will naturally settle you properly. Raised his hand and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder:

"You have followed me in the Governor's Mansion for many years, you are hard-working, and you are clever, and when you get to Woye Town, I don't have to worry about you."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Captain, let's go together." You are also a member of the Immortal Army, when the case here is over, let's leave Kyoto together and go to the border pass, maybe the imperial court will mobilize the Immortal Army out of the pass to quell the chaos at that time, so we just follow General Liu back to Xiling to avenge the general and other brothers. ”

Han Yunong smiled faintly and said softly: "Naturally, I also want to go back to Xiling with my brothers, but it is impossible for me to leave Kyoto until this case is concluded." ”

"If you don't go, I won't go." Qin Xiao's tone was firm.

Han Yunong frowned and said, "Qin Xiao, this is not to discuss with you, but my order. ”

Qin Xiao's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.

When Han Yunong ordered Qin Xiao to leave Kyoto and go to Woye Town, Lu Junzhong was also persuading Fan Wen to be a junjie in current affairs.

"Fan Butang's family is twenty-seven, plus servants and maids, it should be eighty-six." Lu Junzhong smiled: "Of course, this is not counting your relatives and friends, in addition, you have many protégés and old officials, all of them are counted, if not one thousand, but five hundred." ”

Fan Wenzheng stood up and said sharply: "Lu Junzhong, what do you want to do?" Are you going to set off a big prison again, and you want to implicate the old man's family? ”

"Do you want to involve your family in the past, not in this official, but in you." Lu Junzhong said lightly: "You and I have already made it very clear. You can't save your life, the meaning of the saint, you know, I understand, I am a dog that bites people under the saint, and I will help the master do whatever the master wants. Now you and I both know that a saint only needs a confession...... Your confession! Raising his hand and pointing at Fan Wenzheng: "As long as you admit your crimes, and even take the responsibility for the crimes that you should not have on yourself, the sage is lenient, maybe you will no longer pursue your family, and save hundreds of lives with your life, isn't this deal cost-effective?" ”

Fan Wenzheng sneered: "Do you want the old man to bear all the blame alone? ”

"Actually, I really don't care if you're willing to take the blame off or not." Lu Junzhong sighed: "Fan Butang should know that this official likes big cases, and the more criminals are implicated, the more interested this official is." If you refuse to admit your sin and want to spend it with me, I really can't ask for it. I can guarantee that if you stay in the Criminal Department for one more day, there will be a few more people involved in this case, and if you stay for a month, if there are not three or four hundred people involved in you, then the Criminal Department will be incompetent. Seeing that Fan Wenzheng's eyes had shown fear, he smiled: "But the sage doesn't want this matter to be too widely implicated, so I naturally have to follow the sage's will, but if you don't cooperate, you have to set off a big prison for the official, and the official can't ask for it." ”

Fan Wenzheng sat back in his chair, his face pale and weak.

"I know what you're waiting for." Lu Junzhong said: "You just hope that the princess can come forward to save your life, thinking that the princess can say a few good words for you from the saint." But as I just said, if you have written a letter to ask for guilt from the beginning, there is still a glimmer of life, and now at this point, do you think the princess can still speak for you? Fan Butang, I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, so I will spend more time with you, and I will no longer persuade you. It's getting late, I will arrange for you to stay in the criminal department for one night, and if you can hand over your guilty plea early tomorrow morning, this matter will end here, and you will not implicate too many people, otherwise this official will have to handle the case according to the law. ”

He slowly stood up and ordered, "Come on, take Fan Butang down to rest." ”

Two officials from the Criminal Department came in from outside and walked to Fan Wenzheng's side.

"By the way, Fan Butang, everyone knows that you have many cronies in the military department, and many of them are picked up by you." Lu Junzhong took two steps towards the door, seemed to think of something, and turned around:

"If I were you, I would add the names of a few more officials, which would also be of some benefit to you."

Fan Wenzheng got up and said: "Lu Butang rest assured, if the old man writes an excerpt, there will naturally be someone among them." ”

"Don't even think about adding the name of Dou Wei Dou Shilang to it." Lu Junzhong smiled and said: "He is a witness, and since he dares to come forward to testify against you, he is naturally prepared in advance. ”

Fan Wenzheng was stunned.

"The one who really pulled you off the horse this time was not Han Yunong, it should be Dou Wei." Lu Junzhong sighed: "It's a pity that Fan Butang doesn't use people well. He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the main hall.

Fan Wenzheng looked at Lu Junzhong's gloomy back, and his pupils contracted.

Lu Junzhong walked out of the main hall, and Zhu Dongshan had already stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Ministry, how do you arrange Han Yunong?" ”

"Han Yunong and Dou Wei are important witnesses in this case, and they are arranged to stay in the criminal department." Lu Junzhong said softly: "Is Qin Xiao still in the yamen?" ”

"He's with Han Yunong." Zhu Dongshan said in a low voice.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Lu Junzhong's lips: "Qin Xiao is useless, in this case, he is insignificant, you can let him go." ”

Zhu Dongshan was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Ministry, do you mean to let Qin Xiao leave?" ”

"Let Han Yunong press a handprint on the file of the disappearance case, and the case will be closed, and the case behind this has nothing to do with Qin Xiao." Lu Junzhong said: "We will stay for those who should stay, and those who should not be left behind...... Let's send it out. He glanced at Zhu Dongshan, his eyes were strange, Zhu Dongshan had followed him for many years, and immediately understood, knowing that Lu Junzhong had a deep meaning to let Qin Xiao go, and said with a smile: "Xia Guan understands, this is going to close the disappearance case." ”

The procedure for finding out about a disappearance case is not complicated.

Zhu Dongshan took the file that had just been recorded during the day, and asked Han Yunong and Qin Xiao to be brought to the criminal department for a lawsuit, and the two pressed their handprints on the case file, Zhu Dongshan asked people to put away the file and said with a smile: "This case is over." Qin Xiao, you can go. ”

Qin Xiao glanced at Han Yunong, and before he could ask, Zhu Dongshan had already said: "Han Duwei will stay in the Criminal Department for a few days to assist in the investigation of Fan Wenzheng's case, but you can rest assured, Han Duwei is a witness in our Criminal Department, and we will not only ensure Han Duwei's safety, but also worry about food and clothing." Fan Wenzheng's case will not drag on for too long, according to the official's estimate, it will be over in ten days and half a month, so don't worry too much. ”

Zhu Dongshan asked the two of them not to worry too much, but Qin Xiao was worried, Han Yunong said: "Qin Xiao, the case is over, and Lord Zhu will let you leave, so you can leave quickly." ”

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Zhu, it's getting late, I live in Sipingfang, it seems to be ......!"

As soon as it gets dark in Kyoto, one hundred and eight squares will be sealed and you will not be allowed to leave the workshop.

"It's a small thing." Zhu Dongshan said with a smile: "This official gives you a road, with the road, you can pass freely, and no one will block it." Let someone sign a road slip to come over, Qin Xiao took it, and then he arched his hand to Han Yunong, and saluted Zhu Dongshan, and then was sent out of the yamen of the criminal department by Zhu Dongshan.

It's not too late to get out of the Punishment Department, but it's just that at the end of the day, Kyoto's song and dance bands are lively, but Suzaku Street is deserted.

When I came here today, I rode a horse-drawn cart with a big drum, but the drum had been collected by the Criminal Department, and only my horse was brought over.

Qin Xiao turned over and got on his horse, glanced at the yamen of the criminal department in the black hole, and knew that a storm had just begun, and only hoped that Han Yunong would be safe and sound in this storm, turn the horse's head, and urge the horse to leave.
