Chapter 166: The One Who Told the Letter

When a few people came out of the secret passage, they saw their men holding the thin and short man who was ventilating the news.

The man's dark and thin face was extremely frightened, especially when he saw Shangguan Yuling's face appear in front of him in the firelight.

"You, you ......"

He was so frightened that he almost couldn't say anything, but he knew very well that if he fell into the hands of Shangguan Yuling, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

"Who are you tending for?"

Shangguan Yinling stood in front of him, the man looked panicked, hesitated, but refused to speak.

Keeping a secret is death, and speaking out is death, and he doesn't know what he should do now.

Did he die in the hands of Shangguan Yuling or in the hands of his master?

"Take him back to the prison first, and I'll go back right away."

Shangguan Yuling glanced at the person below, and the man escorted the man back to the Special Case Division.

The people who stayed in the courtyard have basically been arrested, and now it seems that the monster case in the capital has been solved, and the answer to this sensational capital has finally ended.

Lu Li and the others were still quite curious about who the real whistleblower was, so they didn't go back to the house, and followed Shangguan Yinling to the Special Case Division.

In the prison of the Special Cases Division, the fire in the brazier was blazing, and the man was tied to a cross, and cold sweat was already soaked on his forehead.

A small prison, with such a spacious place, in front of the cross, there were rows of torture instruments on the table, and he already felt terrified just by looking at it.

It's over, he's going to die here.

Not long after, Shangguan Yinling appeared in front of him, looking at the face of the jade-faced rakshasa, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

"Have you thought about it? Do you confess now or confess again if you can't stand it? ”

Shangguan Yinling gave him a choice very humanely, the man hesitated for a moment, Shangguan Yinling was already impatient, and glanced at the person next to him, who walked in front of the man with a whip.

The salt-soaked whip hurt so much that the man fainted after a few blows, and the executioner scooped out a scoop of water from the barrel and poured it on the man's head, and the man opened his eyes again.

The whip continued to be drawn, and the people around Shangguan Yuling were very measured, and they could ensure their lives when they were in unbearable pain, even if they were so weak, with dozens of whips, and then they would be scared and frightened with other torture instruments, nothing would happen.

After a dozen lashes went down, the man couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'll recruit, I'll recruit ...... all"

Lu Li couldn't help but pout behind Shangguan Yuling.

People at this time, always have the idea of a little luck, compromise with reality early, where is the need to suffer so many crimes?

"Say, who told you to tell the news?"

"Yes, it's Lin Shangshu......"

After the man finished speaking, the group was a little stunned, only Shangguan Yinling's face was quite calm.

This Lin Shangshu is in the position of Shangshu, in fact, he has not done anything for so many years, and he does not have any great ambitions and ambitions, what he is best at doing is to listen to the words of the saint and complete the things explained by the saint perfectly.

It is really surprising that he would do such a thing that is a cause for disaster.

Nine times out of ten, he was pinched by someone, so he had to be the one who reported the news in the middle.

It can be seen that Lin Shangshu is a scholar, and he has been forced to such a point.

It's a pity that this time there is still an inner ghost who doesn't know whether it's the Criminal Department or the Six Doors hasn't been caught, but I believe that in the near future, he will soon show his fox tail again.

"Today, I'm afraid we're going to Shangshu Mansion."

Before reporting to the saint, you need to go to Lin Shangshu for a while.

It was inconvenient for too many people to appear in this matter, so only Lu Ligong Chengqi and Xu Yun followed Shangguan Yinling to Shangshu Mansion.

In Shangshu's mansion, the little guy who went out to ventilate and report the news did not reply for a long time, Lin Shangshu was already very uneasy in his heart, and when the people below reported Shangguan Lingling's visit, his heart was already half cold.

It's over, this time it's a capsized boat in the gutter.

was caught by Shangguan Yinling, and what good fruit can there be.

Could it be that his career is about to end like this?

"Please come in, Lord Shangguan."

The matter has come to this point, too much struggle can't change anything, doing such a dirty thing is not what he wants, so he simply told the truth to Shangguan Yinling, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

"Lord Shangshu, why don't you rest so late?"

As soon as he entered the main hall, he only heard Shangguan Yinling's greeting, and Lin Shangshu was faintly worried in his heart.

"This is not Shangguan Xian's nephew coming, even if there is a great sleepiness, I have to endure it."

"Lord Shangshu is very patient, but do you know that the little guy in the adult's mansion is being arrested by the official at the scene of the crime?" Shangguan Yinling was too lazy to say hello, and went straight to the point, "I expect to beat people and already know, this official came here just to hear what the adults want to say." ”

"I have nothing to say." Lin Shangshu lowered his head a little ashamed for a while, "That little guy was indeed sent by me to report the news, since it has been found out by Lord Shangguan, then it will be left to your lordship." ”

It was the first time I saw a corrupt official who was arrested, and he admitted it directly without quibbling, and Lu Li thought that he was willing to confess only after acting.

"I don't intend to embarrass the adult, and I know that the adult has been an official for so many years and is conscientious, as long as the adult tells you what you know and discernment, the saint is there, I will definitely find a way to let the adult get out."

Shangguan Yinling knew that many Qing officials would sometimes be affected by various external reasons and do some wrong things, but as long as they had a good heart, there was a way back.

"To tell you the truth, I am indeed controlled by others." Lin Shangshu couldn't help but sigh slightly, "A few days ago, Qin Hai came to the door, saying that he had caught me raising an illegitimate child outside, and asked me to help him hide and transport poisons, and always keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court, and report to them if there is a situation, otherwise I will inform my wife that I have an illegitimate child. ”

Although he is selfish, he also knows that if he really hides and transports poisons, he really can't turn over.

"I see." Shangguan Yinling nodded, "Do you still know that among the criminal department or the six doors, are there any other internal lines they have planted?" ”

"I don't know exactly who it is, but I'm sure there is." Lin Shangshu was very sure, "Before I gave in to them, there were still others to help them report the news." ”

Shangguan Yinling nodded slightly.

"Lord Shangshu, in front of the Holy Lord, I will intercede for you as appropriate."

"In that case, then thank you to Shangguan Xian's nephew."
