The leaves of the crooked-necked tree in the courtyard of Dali Temple were basically gone, and the bleak wind blew, and a few dead leaves were crumbling.

There is a row of rooms in the backyard of Dali Temple, in the middle is a living room dress, there is a side room on both sides, in one of the side rooms, the ordinary crooked neck tree, except for a few tables and chairs, almost empty, even if the doors and windows are closed, the cold wind also penetrates through the gaps. At this moment a small brazier rose in the room, and a man roasted around the brazier, wrapping his coat tightly from time to time.

This person is Shi Geng. When he followed the landing back to Jiangning, he didn't expect to be unscathed, but the good times didn't last long, and he was suddenly thrown into the prison of Dali Temple by Zhen Feng. When I went to prison, I thought I would be tortured or tortured to extract a confession, but I was neither interrogated nor sentenced, and I spent every day waiting.

Shi had thought about what kind of scene Shi had thought about, and in order to get a little opportunity, he forcibly endured the pain he might suffer. But today, Martin suddenly appeared in prison and brought a small jug of wine with him, telling him that he was going to take him out.

After some inquiry, he learned that the Wei Ruan had fallen, and Martin had just led someone to recover the escaped account keeper Ruan Mianmian and his account books. During this time, Zhen Feng completely forgot that there was still Shi Geng, and the reason why he was thrown into prison before was just to sharpen his sharpness and ruffianness and teach him a lesson. But Martin believed that he had reformed and asked to take him out when he returned.

Shi was even more surprised by the collapse of the Wei Ruan overnight, and what surprised him even more was that Martin said that "Ruan Mianmian surrendered like him", or these businessmen had no position and could not resist the torture or temptation.

He was placed in this room, and it is said that Martin still had some things to take care of, and he did not leave until he was taken care of. Then he left mysteriously.

Shi Geng waited for a while, and then heard the sound of a water cup falling to the ground and breaking in the opposite side room, he couldn't help but open the door, but saw that the doors and windows of the hall were closed, and the door on the opposite side was also closed, but the sound inside seemed to be a little loud, and some voices could be heard, and there was a faint cry of "Song State Assassin" and "Wu Desi".

The assassin is the name of the undercover agent and the secret agent at this time.

Shi Geng's heart sighed, maybe it was the people of the Wei Ruan who had betrayed him who were being questioned, and he didn't know what they knew and what they would say, wouldn't this be his chance?

Shi Geng pinched his hands and feet, came to the opposite side without making a sound, found a remote location and pierced a layer of window paper, squinted and looked in, and could roughly see the situation inside.

I saw Zhen Feng sitting in the middle, Martin and Jiang Linxian on both sides, and three people kneeling in the middle.

The kneeling man at the head said: "My lord, the little one, as the head of the Wei Ruan account, really knows what Wei Ruan is doing, so he naturally knows everything and everything he says. On the surface, Wei Ruan is related to Hao Qiang, the salt and iron inspector of Chuzhou, but in fact, it is through Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Song State, and the money and property transported are also included in Zhao Xianggong's housekeeper, and the arrangement here and the information obtained will finally be passed on to Zhao Xianggong. ”

"In that case, besides you Wei Ruan, who else in this Jiangning City is also an assassin sent by the Song State Wu Desi?"

"This, this, the little one really doesn't know ......"

"Hmph, you say you don't know?"

"Really, the little ones really don't know. The small one is only the account room, and does not follow the proprietor and the shopkeeper out in everything, and his knowledge is limited. ”

"Dead duck has a hard mouth, it seems that you won't hit the south wall and won't look back." Zhen Feng said and took out a piece of paper from his cuff and asked, "Look at the handwriting on it, do you know it?" ”

The man trembled a little and said, "This, this is the handwriting of the villain, I don't know where the adult came from?" ”

"You don't care about this, you listen to what is written in this letter, and see if you remember?" Zhen Feng opened the letter and said, "It records some of Ruan Ritian's whereabouts, as well as some of your Wu Desi's affairs in Jiangning City, do you say that these are all fake?" ”

"My lord, that's Ruan Hao, not Ruan Ritian......"

"It's the same, don't go into the details of the little details. Can you tell me if there is any fake? ”

"Your Excellency...... It's all small nonsense, and I can't count it. Shi saw the man kowtow even more obviously, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, he didn't know what was written on that piece of paper, and he didn't know how much this traitor confided?

"Since you are writing nonsense, then the sentencing documents can also be written nonsense. Do you think it's better for Ling Chi to cut a thousand knives, or is it comfortable to split the corpses of five horses on the street? You can be creative, and we're welcome. ”

The man almost lay down, and said tremblingly: "Adult Mingjian, the little one remembered, this piece of paper was indeed written by Xiao not long ago in order to leave a way out for himself, I didn't think about it for a while, and I ask my lord to forgive me." ”

"You get up, I'll believe you once, but you have to wait to verify how much authenticity you have written, if it is true, you will make a great contribution to the Tang State, and at that time, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and it will be no problem to add officials to the knighthood."

The man stood up, and Shi could clearly see that this person was indeed a little familiar, as if he was the person who accompanied Wei Ruan and Ruan Xiaoduan when he met before.

"Thank you, my lord, the little one is still very confident in this."

"In that case, Martin, you go and invite Xiao Lao, no, let's invite Chen Shumi to come here."

When Shi Geng heard this, he was even more frightened and anxious, if it was just to ask Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, to handle the case, and the concept of asking the privy envoy Chen Qiao was equivalent to sending troops to suppress it. It seems that what is written on that piece of paper must be very important, which made Zhen Feng move the idea of directly sending troops to suppress it. If you contact the "great merit" and "increase the official to the knight" just mentioned, you must steal that piece of paper!

Shi Geng's mind turned, maybe when he steals it unconsciously, the army of the Tang State has already sent troops, and it will be too late then, and he must seize the opportunity.

Seeing that Martin was about to go out, Shi Geng hurriedly ran back to the opposite room, but it was still a little late, and as soon as he stepped through the door, the door of Zhen Feng's house creaked open. Witty as he was, he immediately turned around and pretended to be going out.

When Shi Geng saw Martin, he deliberately pretended to smile lightly and greeted, "Pony, didn't you go to run errands, why are you still here?" ”

Martin brought it to the door and said with a smile: "I just did a small thing temporarily, so I'll go out." ”

Not long after, Shi Geng vaguely saw through the crack in the door that the privy envoy Chen Qiao really came with Martin. At the same time, the guards were also tightened, and even the living room in the room was guarded. Shi Geng obediently hid in the room, watching every move on the other side through the crack in the door.

Shi Geng waited until his legs were numb, and only then did he open the door on the other side, only to see Chen Qiao patting his chest and saying: "This piece of evidence will be brought back to the Privy Council, and after the others check it, the evidence will be conclusive, and then it will be submitted to His Majesty for decision." ”

"It must be arranged by Mr."

When Shi followed Martin and Jiang Linxian back to Wangjiang Tower, it was already evening. In Dali Temple, he didn't dare to startle the snake, and returning to Wangjiang Tower was the time for his opportunity. Although you can't see or steal the paper, at least knowing where it is going is a great achievement.

Shi Geng took advantage of the darkness of the night, and everyone in the building went back to their rooms and secretly went out through the back door.
