A big chaos finally subsided, and the people who could sit in the lobby were all happy, and the court had always rewarded the officials who came to the front line to quell the rebellion, and it was no surprise that everyone present was rewarded, even Wan Yunzhang could live without hiding his merits as long as Ai Wei said a few good words for him in the recital, at least his life was worry-free. As for the people outside the city who died under the coercion of Zhongshanzhai, the number exceeded 10,000, but they were directly ignored by the big shots.

Just as there was laughter and laughter in the lobby, and everyone was praising each other reservedly, an errand officer crawled to the ground, knelt in front of the public case and shouted: "Lord Qiyu Assassin Shi, my lords, it's not good." The thieves infiltrated the city, broke into the south of the Yangtze River and made the yamen kill people and set fire, and asked Lord Ai to quickly send troops to arrest the thieves. ”

Everyone was shocked, Ai Wei leaned into the public case and asked, "How many thieves are there, is there something wrong with Master Chang?" ”

The messenger squeaked: "There are more than twenty thieves, Lord Chang and all the adults are discussing matters in the lobby, and after hearing the news, they dodged, and Lord Chang sent a small one to report through the back door. ”

Ai Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his chair, and said to Ji Datao: "Master Ji, I bother you to bring someone to catch the thief." Decheng, in addition to appeasing the victims and continuing to provide relief, the order in the city must also be maintained, and no negligence should be made; General Wan, in the past few days, I will borrow your military power to sit in Linhua County to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Xiong Yi'an knew the messenger who reported the news, this person was Chang Yuchao's personal entourage, he was astute, his eyes were rolling wildly when he spoke, and his expression was nervous, which made Xiong Yi'an suspicious. Xiong Yi'an had already decided to regard the colleagues of the Jiangnan Transit Division Yamen as a stepping stone for his meritorious service, and he had discussed with Li Yubo many times how to expose the statement when he met Qin Cha and seek the greatest credit.

Li Yubo was disheartened by these colleagues because Chang Yuchao and others sent someone to assassinate him, and he was slandered in the lobby as having mania.

Xiong Yi'an's plan was exactly what he wanted, and the two of them discussed together in the past few days to write down the shortcomings of the yamen on paper, as thick as an inch, plus Jiang Anyi's help, Li Yubo's private account books, and the confession of the assassin Yu Shusen, but it is a pity that Ye Yanguang, the key person, escaped when the city was broken, otherwise this lawsuit would not have been lost.

The Yamen of the Transfer Division was robbed, Xiong Yi'an immediately thought that it was Chang Yuchao who was destroying the evidence, stood up and said: "Lord Ai, the lower officials have not returned to the yamen for many days, and colleagues should go back to see if they are in danger. ”

Ai Wei frowned, he woke up to the fact that there was something strange about the thief in the Yamen of the transfer department, Xiong Yi'an colluded with the secret envoy Jiang Anyi, and he returned to the transfer to make the Yamen definitely investigate the truth. The defeat of the Jiangnan Transfer Division Yamen has been decided, Ai Wei will never get involved, as for what Xiong Yi'an wants to do, let him go, give him convenience is convenient for himself, and Xiong Yi'an will not pull himself into it in the future.

So, Ai Wei nodded and said, "That's very good, there is Lord Lao Xiong." When the officer heard that Xiong Yi'an was going to go with him, panic flashed in his eyes. Ji Datao has been investigating cases all the year round, and when Xiong Yi'an wanted to go with him to transfer the Yamen, he thought that there might be something hidden in it, and at this moment, the messenger who reported the news looked wrong, and he became more and more sure that there was a bright hall in it.

Coming to the yamen, Ji Datao said to Xiong Yi'an: "Lord Xiong, Lord Jiang told Ji before leaving, if Lord Xiong wants Ji to help with something, let Ji not shirk." Lord Xiong, since Lord Jiang has opened his mouth, Ji will definitely do his best to help. ”

Xiong Yi'an was stunned, he didn't know if Jiang Anyi had said this, if he really said it, it would indicate that he would give credit to Ji Datao. After thinking about it, even if Ji Datao is given a little credit, he will not get less, it is better to be a favor, which not only gives Jiang Anyi face, but also wins over the unification of Long Weizhou, why not do the good things that he can get in one fell swoop.

"Hahaha, thank you Lord Ji." Xiong Yi'an said with a smile on his face: "After catching the thief who transferred to the Yamen, please ask Lord Ji to sit in the Xiaguan Mansion for a while, there are a few bottles of good wine in the Xiaguan's house, just invite Lord Ji to taste it." ”

Ji Datao was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Xiong Yi'an and Jiang Anyi do have a deal, and he can be in it, with two people with deep backgrounds, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

Ji Datao saw the scene of the murder, more than a dozen petty officials and officials pretended to fall to the ground, the treasury and the tent room were on fire, and the account books and storage materials were burned black. Ji Datao sneered in his heart, this is clearly to destroy the evidence, and put it on the thief so that you can't trace it.

Chang Yuchao appeared with Wan Huaijie, Duan Shuang and other officials, Xiong Yi'an stepped forward to salute, and said with a sincere face: "Seeing that Lord Chang is safe and sound, the lower officials are really relieved, and all of you are okay." ”

"You are worried about Lao Xiong joining the army, Chang Mou's life is big, and he can't die for a while." Sanyu replied with a smile on his face. When the city was attacking and defending, he received a message from an unknown person, telling him that the court had sent a secret envoy to investigate the collapse of the embankment of the Yuanhua River.

After learning the news, Chang Yuchao thundered, and the others were also mourned, Wan Huaijie cried and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's all over, everyone is finished." ”

Qiu Guangming calmed down and said, "Everyone, things have not yet reached the point of being out of control, so you must not give up on yourself. Chang Gong, you have a lot of experience, come up with an idea. ”

Chang Yuchao was reminded by Qiu Guangming that although the secret envoy colluded with Xiong Yi'an, he also sent Zou Sujie with the silver to dredge the minister Lu Congming on the bright side, and how the case was decided depends on Lu Congming. Chang Yuchao calmed down a little, and said to the panicked crowd: "Guangming is right, things still have a turnaround, don't mess around now, you must be calm in case of major events, and we will think about how to deal with it together." ”

When the door was closed, the lobby became cold, and the faces of several people were gloomy. Duan Shuang opened his mouth to speak, his voice low and fluttering, like a ghost wandering over the lobby.

"The top priority is not to leave a handle, those accounts on the surface will always be exposed, and they cannot be kept; The things in the warehouse have already been sold, and the rest are some rotten things that can't be used, and the last time Yuan County ordered to borrow something, I made an excuse to block it back, if Qin sent to check, I couldn't say clearly. Therefore, set fire to all these evidences, and there are still some insiders who can't stay, who knows if there will be another thief like Xiong Yi'an. ”

"Not bad", Chang Yuchao said: "This matter should be done as soon as possible, in the name of the thief, Qiu Guangming, you are the order of the river canal, in charge of the canal soldiers, I know that you have a lot of relatives in it, and now you can use it, let them cover their faces and disguise themselves as thieves to enter the yamen to kill people and set fires, whether everyone's lives can be saved depends on yours." ”

Qiu Guangming's face turned pale, like a wild ghost that came out of the Nine Shadows, "?? Drop out of barium? The wreckage is judged according to Jianshuo? Gather together? And the phoenix collapsed? Poke forgiveness!?

Several people discussed the names of the damned people in a low voice, Qiu Guangming went out, and half an hour later, more than 20 masked men entered the yamen, and Chang Yuchao and others sent many people out of the yamen in advance, leaving only some damned people.

When Ji Datao and others came, the thief had already found a secluded place to change his clothes, and became the Qu Ding of the Yamen again, and the Yamen killed the people who should be killed, and lit the fire that should be lit, and the Wei Shouquan Wei Master Bookkeeper, who had a gap with Li Yubo, was unfortunately on the list and died on the ground. The scene in front of me is not suspicious, and I can't care about it.

Ji Datao knew in his heart that there was no way to investigate this case, so he comforted Chang Yuchao and others for a few words, and then went out of the yamen with Xiong Yi'an. Xiong Yi'an smiled: "Master Ji, there is a mansion not far ahead, please enjoy the light." ”

When he came to his house, Xiong Yi'an couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the wall was gone, and the stone steps in front of the door were gone, but fortunately, the gate was not taken away, and he stood there alone. Entering the house from the gate, the wall is gone, and it is estimated that it has also turned into a stone to defend the city, and the flowers and plants in the garden are trampled in a mess, Xiong Yi'an smiled embarrassedly: "Master Ji, I forgot that the house was demolished for a while, this situation is really rude." ”

"Lord Xiong is polite, the adult gives up his family for the country, the Son of Heaven will definitely reward him, how dare Ji dislike it."

Looking at the messy house, Xiong Yi'an smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "I hope the hall inside has not been demolished, otherwise I would have to invite Master Ji to sit on the ground." ”

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, the city gate was ready to be closed, and just after the great battle, Lord Assassin Shi ordered the gate to be closed half an hour early to prevent thieves from entering the city. Gao Shuitian followed the long line and waited to enter the city, Ye Yanguang had already fallen into his hands, but Gao Shuitian did not bring Ye Yanguang directly, he knew that Ye Yanguang was a treasure and was ready to sell him for a big price.

Tie up Ye Yanguang and hide in a cave, Gao Shuitian was about to mix into Linhua County, the inventory in front of the county seat was very strict, Gao Shuitian hid aside and didn't dare to move. Listening to the soldiers guarding the gate shouting to close the city gate, Gao Shuitian lined up at the end of the line, at this time the speed of inspection in front of the door was much faster, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw Gao Shuitian with empty hands, asked two words and let him enter the city.

The sky was still bright, Gao Shuitian didn't dare to wander on the street, he was Ye Yanguang's cronies, and many people in the city knew him. Strange goods can be lived, of course, they have to be sold at a good price, Gao Shuitian was thinking in his heart about who to sell Ye Yanguang to. The county government first denied it, he was very clear about the actions of the government, and if he sent Ye Yanguang to the government, his credit would be swallowed up, not to mention, and he might be accused of rebellion; It's good to give it to Long Wei, but where can I find Long Wei myself?

Gao Shuitian suddenly thought that Jiang Anyi went to Xingling County to arrest Ye Yanguang, and it would be best if Ye Yanguang could be sent to him, but this divine dragon could not be found. Gao Shuitian was a little discouraged, holding treasures and nowhere to sell, and it seemed that he had to find an acquaintance to inquire about the situation before making a decision.
