Bang bang bang......

In the quiet of the night, the knock on the door is particularly harsh, and it is easy to wake up the concierge who is sleeping inside.

So the porter hurriedly got up, and there were many guests visiting in the evening during this time, and he did not dare to slack off at all.

He was punished by Ji Zhirong for opening the door late, because he almost caused Ji Zhirong to miss a pair of ink treasures.

Simply put on his clothes, the porter walked out of the door quickly, and saw that Ji Zhirong's study was still lit not far away.

After coming to the gate of the courtyard, the porter opened the door directly, but before he could ask the identity of the person who came, the five or six men outside broke into the house.

"Who are you? Trespassing is a big crime! The porter shouted loudly, and at the same time he was warning the house.

After Chen Xiaoting gave him a look, the porter was knocked unconscious to the ground with a punch, and Chen Xiaoting and the others rushed out.

It's also strange that Ji Zhirong was greedy for enjoyment, so he moved to this ordinary house, otherwise he, as a messenger, should be in the yamen of the envoy at this time, and there are soldiers guarding there.

But if that's really the case, it will be inconvenient for others to ask him for help, which Ji Zhirong doesn't want to see.

After closing the courtyard gate, Chen Xiaoting and his entourage entered the courtyard, and according to the existing information, they knew that in addition to the gatehouse, there were also four domestic servants in the courtyard, so Chen Xiaoting let his subordinates control the situation.

And he and Liu Jianping walked directly to Ji Zhirong's study.

Ji Zhirong had already heard the exclamations outside, so he immediately asked the concubine to put away the genuine works on the table, these are all valuable things.

In Ji Zhirong's opinion, even if he encounters a thief, as long as he gives money, he can buy peace, but if these paintings are damaged, then he really wants to cry without tears.

Just as the two of them were in a hurry to clean up, the door of the study was opened, and Chen Xiaoting appeared outside the door.

At this time, he said to Liu Jian: "Don't let other people talk more, just plug their mouths, you are guarding the door...... Don't let anyone in! ”

After saying this, Chen Xiaoting walked in directly from the door, and Ji Zhirong's eyes also met him at this time.

"Who are you?" Ji Zhirong asked in a deep voice, and at this time Xianglan was already hiding behind him.

I have to say that as an official of the Criminal Department, I am used to seeing a lot of bandits, and I can remain calm in the face of this situation.

Chen Xiaoting turned around and closed the door before saying, "Lord Ji is so Yaxing...... It's really rare to read at night with red sleeves and fragrance so late! ”

It is even more difficult to figure out the truth and fiction, and Ji Zhirong is already beating the drum in his heart at this time.

"If a good man wants silver, just make a price, everything is easy to say!" Ji Zhirong took the concubine behind him.

Seeing the other party as if he was facing a great enemy, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but smile, and said, "Lord Ji doesn't need to panic, I'm here to discuss things with Lord Ji!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting seemed to suddenly remember, and said: "I also forgot to tell my lord that I should have seen me before when I was on duty in the Jinyi Wei Yongxi Thousand Households!" ”

Hearing that it was Jinyiwei's person, Ji Zhirong's heart was pounding, he had received so many benefits recently, and he was naturally weak in the face of Jinyiwei.

"Your Excellency turned out to be a member of the Jinyi Guard, I don't know what is the important matter of visiting late at night?" Ji Zhirong said calmly.

Fang Cai's answer let Ji Zhirong know that maybe the person in front of him came to him to talk about something, otherwise there was no need to talk so much.

Chen Xiaoting glanced at Xianglan on the side, and then said, "It's not convenient to talk now!"

Hearing this, Ji Zhirong could only let Xianglan out.

When there were only two of them left in the room, Chen Xiaoting spoke: "I came to find Master Ji today, I want to ask Lord Ji to do me a favor!" ”

Ji Zhirong is very familiar with this, there are many people who have come to ask him for help these days, but he still asked, "What help?" ”

Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly, and then said, "Please add three people to the list of amnesty from the Criminal Department, Lord Ji......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, there were three, and Ji Zhirong almost choked to death by these words.

When people open their mouths to let go of one person, they have to show such and such filial piety, but the person in front of him is empty-handed, but he directly wants to add three people, which is simply a lion's mouth.

So Ji Zhirong said: "Your Excellency is afraid that you have seen the wrong person, this official does things for the emperor and the court, and everything is in accordance with the law...... How can it be straight! ”

This is said righteously, but Chen Xiaoting knows that Ji Zhirong is detailed, but he will not be deceived by his appearance.

I saw him walk towards the desk, and then under Ji Zhirong's sharp gaze, he opened the wooden box that was placed aside.

When the cloth bag inside was revealed, Chen Xiaoting said to Ji Zhirong: "Lord Ji, don't you think about it anymore?" ”

"Jin Yiwei is deeply trusted by the emperor, is this how you repay the emperor's favor?" Ji Zhirong still said stiffly, but he knew that this was posturing.

Sure enough, Chen Xiaoting was not frightened at all, but said: "Lord Ji is also deeply respected by the emperor, but after you came to Luyang, why did you accept such calligraphy and painting antiques?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting had already picked up the cloth bag and slowly pulled out the flower scroll in it.

"These calligraphy and paintings are all ...... I brought from the capital."

Before Ji Zhirong finished speaking, Chen Xiaoting interrupted: "Master Ji, do you think I'm easy to deceive?" ”

"Whether these calligraphy and paintings were brought from the capital or not, you and I know it in our hearts, so don't cover the lid and speak!" Chen Xiaoting said coldly.

In order to dispel Ji Zhirong's illusions, he listened to him continue: "If you say that these calligraphy and paintings are bought with silver, then you are taking Zai Xia for a fool!" ”

"After all, a few dozen taels of silver in exchange for thousands of taels of calligraphy and paintings, this thing is not good!"

Hearing this, Ji Zhirong really knew in his heart that he had been figured out.

At this time, he panicked in his heart, and after being seen through, the basis for him to remain calm was gone.

Now that Jin Yiwei has found out this, that is, he has been held by someone, and he may be pushed into the abyss at any time.

At this time, Ji Zhirong couldn't help but blame himself, he was still too anxious, if he hadn't been in contact with outsiders repeatedly, how could he be targeted by Jinyi Wei as a dignified messenger.

But at this time, Chen Xiaoting continued: "Lord Ji, the emperor trusted you, so he photographed you to Lu Yang to preside over the amnesty, do you want to be in a good mood with him?" ”

This is the most fatal thing, if it is only to accept bribes, it is generally just to dismiss the official and hand over the accounts.

But if the emperor made him unhappy when he was happy, it would probably be a felony of exile, which Ji Zhirong could never afford.

At this time, cold sweat broke out on Ji Zhirong's forehead, and he trembled and said: "Please raise your noble hand, this official will never be unkind!" ”

These words took the initiative to come out of Ji Zhirong's mouth, which made Chen Xiaoting feel relieved, as long as he could suppress Ji Zhirong.

In fact, if Ji Zhirong's corruption is really exposed, it may not be a good thing for Chen Xiaoting.

Because by doing this, he has also become the one who makes the emperor unhappy, which will also make the people of the Zhenfu Division feel that he has too much to do.

Chen Xiaoting walked across from Ji Zhirong at this time, and then said, "Master Ji, you don't have to be too nervous, I said that I came to ask you for help!" ”

Ji Zhirong didn't hold the shelf at this time, and immediately said: "Your Excellency said bluntly, the accommodating official will definitely help!" ”

Chen Xiaoting smiled again: "The matter is very simple, about this amnesty, please help me add a few people to ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting said solemnly: "As long as Lord Ji is willing to help, this official guarantees that Lord Ji's affairs in Luyang will never be spread to it!" ”

If Jinyiwei pretended to be blind, then he Ji Zhirong would naturally be unaware of these things in Luyang.

So Ji Zhirong smiled: "It's easy to say...... Please tell me who it is! ”

Chen Xiaoting said: "There are three people in total, named Xu Youhui, Xu Deli, and Xu Youwen......
