However, it was said that a group of 100 people rushed to the state office, and Wang Shouye really did not delay for a moment.

On the one hand, he ordered Ge Changfeng to lead half of the men and horses to seal off Shen Li's two mansions in the city and conduct a preliminary search of them.

On the one hand, he borrowed the inner hall from Pu Youren and summoned relevant people to inquire in turn.

During this period, Hongyu was full of expectations, but in the end she was not sent, she didn't make a small temperament for this, but she stayed outside the lobby door with Li Rusong, quite depressed.

was pondering, waiting for no one to go around at night, and then ask Wang Shouye for a confession to get a glimpse, but suddenly noticed that under the corridor on the east side, it seemed that someone was peeking here.

Hongyu only thought that she had stumbled into something suspicious by mistake, so she was not surprised or rejoiced.

Pretending to be indifferent, he raised his hand and straightened the hat on his head, and traced it through his fingers, and most of the joy in his heart was immediately gone.

Guy was full of naked greed on the other side's face, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

It turned out to be a prodigal son.

No!

You should call him a hungry ghost!

Although Hongyu has tried her best to disguise herself, how can her natural beauty be concealed?

Along the way, it's not like no one has seen it.

But she has always followed Wang Shouye's side, as long as she is not blind, she can see that the relationship with her is extraordinary, so after seeing through her daughter, she chose to ignore it, or even deliberately avoid suspicion.

To this day, it is the first time that she dares to peep at her so boldly.

And......

This man seems to be a green-robed little official.

In officialdom, how can you be so ignorant?

Hongyu was frowning and groaning, whether to expose this person's behavior, the ground suddenly darkened in front of him, but it was Li Rusong who stopped sideways, and pressed his waist knife to look at the prodigal son of Deng.

The man on the other side finally sobered up and shrank into the crowd busily.

It's just that he is in Cangzhou City, and he is also a figure with a head and a face, which suddenly squeezed into the crowd, which immediately caused a commotion.

"Confucius."

Someone inside cautiously asked, "Don't you have any orders?" ”

Kong Luopeng was just about to open his mouth to talk about some nonsense, and there was a muffled rooster cry in his stomach, so he got off the donkey and said: "I can't stand this hunger, you support it first, I'll go to the front and fill some casually and come back." ”

Without waiting for a few scribes to respond, he hurried to the front yard.

After passing through the second gate, he couldn't help but stop and look back, salivating at the red jade.

"This thing doesn't know how to die!"

Li Rusong was furious when he saw this, and he was about to rush over with a knife to teach Kong Luopeng a lesson, but before he could attack, Kong Luopeng had already hurried out of the hospital.

Li Rusong hesitated for a moment, thinking that this person was unfamiliar with the place, even if he chased him out, he probably wouldn't be able to find the thief, so he had to hang the knife back on his waist.

Turning to Ruby, he asked, "That...... So, do you want to report this to your father-in-law? ”

Although Wang Shouye is only one year older than Hongyu, he is born with a dark face and looks like he is in his early twenties, and thirteen-year-old Li Rusong calls him his father-in-law, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

But Hongyu is a real twenty-eight delicate face, and she can't be regarded as a serious stepmother, so when facing her, Li Rusong didn't know what to call her.

But Hongyu groaned a little when he heard this, so he shook his head and said, "The master is busy investigating the case right now, so don't disturb him with some trivial matters." ”

"But if that guy doesn't die if he has a thief's heart......"

"Afraid of what? Not to mention that I have never been alone, I was really found by that guy, and I will not let him take advantage of it. ”

As she spoke, Hongyu pulled out half of the waist knife and slowly pressed it back into the sheath.

Li Rusong scratched his head, and didn't care about this time anymore.

After all, on the way here, he had also seen Hongyu's skills, and in terms of martial arts proficiency alone, I was afraid that he was still above him.

Of course, if he really started to do it, with Li Rusong's brute force, even ten red jade might not be able to help him.

…………

Not to mention what happened outside the door.

However, he said that in the inner hall, Wang Shouye cooperated with Secretary Lu Tai to complete the trial of several witnesses, and after a simple comparison with the case files submitted in Cangzhou before, he also had a better understanding of Shen Liqi.

This person relied on the convenience of being the head of the torture house [no quality officials], and was used to taking prison lawsuits in Cangzhou City, and at the beginning he only ate the plaintiff and the defendant, and then he wanted to be unsettled, so he began to make trouble with nothing, picking the east family to fight for property and the west family to fight for the wall.

Recently, even the name of the punishment is not limited, and almost every aspect has to pass a layer of oil and water.

It was because of this that he got the nickname 'Shen Shen is Hand', and finally got the curse of God, dying of that strange ghost finger disease.

"Your Excellency."

Secretary Lu Tai is an old official transferred from the Criminal Department, and his ability to go deep into the front line to find traces may not be able to catch up with Zhao Kui, but he is definitely a good hand at analyzing the confession and scrutinizing the case.

He carefully compared the old and new confessions, and frowned and reported: "There are basically no discrepancies between these two confessions, but there are many more details of Shen Li's corruption and perversion of the law, but a considerable part of them are reckless, I am afraid that they cannot be done by a mere torture room scribe." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Either the previous confession has been redacted, or ...... It's just that someone wants to cause trouble! ”

"Hehe, this is treating us like knives."

Wang Shouye didn't really want to get involved, this bullshit officialdom in Cangzhou City, but since someone wants to take the opportunity to do something, then you might as well play with them, it's a big deal to end up and down.

However, when I came to Cangzhou this time, I mainly wanted to find out why the ghost finger disease was infected.

His eyes swept over the word 'heavenly punishment' on the confession, Wang Shouye couldn't help frowning slightly, if this was from the illusory curse, wouldn't he come in vain this time?

Shaking his head, leaving this frustrating thought behind, Wang Shouye tilted his head and asked, "Which one should I ask next?" ”

Lu Tai looked down at the directory and replied respectfully: "Next is Xu Huaizhi, the head of the official house, it is said that when Shen Li first entered the state government, he served as an assistant under him for two years, and the relationship has not been broken. ”

"Call in."

Wang Shouye commanded, Lu Tai immediately got up and left the table, and shouted outside: "Pass, Xu Huaizhi, the head of the house, will enter the house to reply!" ”

Not long after, a trembling half-hundred old man walked outside, and when he got closer, he bent down and bowed his hand, and before he could tell his name, he coughed and died.

At the same time, an indescribable smell permeated the inner hall—a mixture of medicine, incense, powder, and an unconcealable rancid stench.

Wang Shouye couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, and asked in a muffled voice: "Xu Huaizhi, are you sick?" ”

Xu Huaizhi was still coughing dryly, and he didn't have time to reply at all.

"Someone's coming."

Wang Shouye was helpless, so he had to raise his voice and greet: "Send a pot of tea in, and press the phlegm for this Xu scribe." ”

It didn't take long for a person to hurry in with a teapot, but it was the red jade who had been waiting for a long time.

After Hongyu entered the door, she poured a cup of warm tea, personally delivered it to Xu Huaizhi, and gently patted him on the back a few times.

That Xu Huaizhi's body was shocked, and he hurriedly dodged to avoid it, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare to bother the nobles, don't dare to bother the nobles!" ”

In this hurry, I forgot to cough.

But the voice was tight.

Hongyu hurriedly handed the cup forward again and persuaded, "Uncle, drink some tea and moisten your throat." ”

Xu Huaizhi thanked him repeatedly, took the teacup and drank it all, and said in a dumb voice: "Little Lao'er is much better, please ...... Feel free to ask. ”

Wang Shouye first glanced at the red jade that remained in place and did not move, and secretly lost her to being so close, so he didn't show the slightest disgust.

Then he raised his voice to ask.

As before, the main thing was to ask Shen Li about his usual behavior, as well as what abnormal reactions he had before and after his illness, or what special places he had been to and what special items he had come into contact with.

Compared with the previous ones, this Xu Huaizhi is much more slippery, and he avoids the important and talks lightly, and there is almost no fresh sentence.

But the more this is the case, the more Wang Shouye believes that he must have a close relationship with Shen Li - otherwise, everyone else wants to fall into the well and kill people with a knife, how can he be consistent?

However, this corruption case is not something that Wang Shouye really wants to investigate.

Either......

Just straight to the point?

It is also lest the Cangzhou officials be suspicious and suspicious, and in order to get out of attacking each other, they will delay their own time in vain.

was pondering, but saw Hongyu quietly, went around to the back of the public case, poured a cup of tea with a smile, and held it in front of him with both hands: "Master uses tea." ”

What the hell is this?

Didn't you say that you won't let you be petty?

What kind of coquettish is this in front of outsiders?

Wrong!

Even at home, Ruby never looked so flattering — well, not in bed.

Thinking about it again, she endured the ectopic and observed it from a close distance for a long time......

Wang Shouye's heart moved, and he reached out to take the teacup without a trace, and at the same time pressed his throat and asked, "Didn't you see something?" ”

Hongyu turned her back to Xu Huaizhi and replied quietly: "This person seems to have hard leather on his back, and he has hardly inhaled much!" ”
