In the lobby, Gao Changgong waited for a long time, he paced left and right with his hands behind his back, his face anxious and uneasy. Tao Qianming was caught soliciting prostitutes in his own territory, and he always has responsibility as the host.

It's just that he doesn't seem to know that Li Yun has provoked Tao Qianming to turn against him.

After waiting for a long time, Li Yuncai arrived, and before the person arrived, he heard laughter coming from a distance, and looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see Li Yun appear at the end of the corner.

"Master Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time, what wind blew you to the county office?"

Li Yun walked towards him, and when he reached the lobby, he said to his subordinates: "Show Gao Gongzi tea." ”

Gao Changgong didn't bother to talk nonsense, he said bluntly: "It's free to watch tea, and you can't afford to buy expensive famous tea even if you come to your county office." ”

"Haha! What Gao Gongzi said is that the county government is poor, not as good as your Gaofu, where can you afford to buy any expensive tea. ”

As he spoke, Li Yun sat on the seat, crossed Erlang's legs, and took a folding fan with his thumb and index finger staggered, and the folding fan was opened, and the inscription on it was the calligraphy and painting offered by the king of the Jin Dynasty.

Gao Changgong has no taste for whose calligraphy and painting it is, his purpose here is very simple, that is, to fish out Tao Qianming. If the Lincheng Taishou knew that his son was arrested for prostitution, he would definitely be angry, and before the matter spread, the matter would be resolved, so as not to make a big fuss.

"Lin Qingzhu, let's not talk darkly, you can make a price! How much does it cost? Gao Changgong asked straight to the point.

Li Yun put away the folding fan, showed an expression of incomprehension, so he pretended not to understand, and said, "Ah! What did Gao Gongzi say? Why can't this official understand? ”

"How much does it cost to pretend to be confused?" Gao Changgong asked impatiently.

"Bribing the court officials is a big crime, and Gao Gongzi doesn't want to harm me." Li Yun deliberately held it, but he didn't want his money.

Seeing that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, Gao Changgong looked disgusted, and clapped his hands directly, and then the servants of Gaofu came to the hall with a box of gold and silver, and after opening it, a box of white silver was five thousand taels.

"This is five thousand taels, as long as the adults release the son of the Tao family, the money is yours." Gao Changgong said.

Li Yun stared at the gold in the box, showing that he was very greedy for money, he threw the fan aside, stepped forward and grabbed a silver ingot, measured it, and said excitedly: "This is the finest refined fine silver, it is the same as the treasury silver." ”

In ancient times, the silver taels were also divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the folk silver taels had more impurities, and the silver taels handed over to the treasury were all fine silver that had been repeatedly quenched and had few impurities, and its price was also better.

"Good eyesight, the silver of our Gao family is not ordinary coarse silver, each of them is refined fine silver. If the adult let Tao Qianming go, the silver will be offered with both hands. ”

"Oops! Silver is good silver, but it's a pity that Gao Gongzi is one step late. Li Yun showed a reluctant but helpless look.

Gao Changgong's face frowned, and he asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Master, take the pleadings signed by Tao Gongzi and show them to Gao Gongzi!" Li Yun said.

Lin Qingzhu took the paper, which had Tao Qianming's handprint and handwriting on it, so it was impossible to fake. Gao Changgong took a look.

But seeing that there were so many crimes on the paper, he almost scared him stupid, and what he cared about the most was that in the middle of the paper, in a very inconspicuous place, there were three words "Gao Changgong" written.

The gist of it is that Tao Qianming was bewitched by Gao Changgong, he accepted bribes, and was deceived by Gao Changgong to go to the kiln, Gao Changgong was the mastermind, and he was an accomplice.

Because there are too many clauses, it is impossible for Tao Qianming to read carefully, and in that case, he was tortured by Li Yun, where would he look carefully, but Gao Changgong was different, he really looked carefully.

After he finished reading it, Li Yun deliberately provoked again, and said: "Master Gao, these are all Tao Qianming's own confessions, and they have nothing to do with me." ”

There are many crimes against Gao Changgong listed on these charges, including killing competitors, the previous magistrate was killed by them, etc., these crimes were enough to kill Gao Changgong.

"It's impossible, Tao Qianming won't say these words." Gao Changgong said.

Li Yun explained: "This Tao Gongzi, at first his mouth was relatively hard and his temper was relatively stinky, but he couldn't help himself when he went to prison, no one can stand under torture, what do you think?" ”

Tao Qianming, a son-in-law, where can he withstand the torture, not to mention whether the above charges are true or not, after a series of tortures, it is not true but also true, it must be Tao Qianming who is talking nonsense in order to save his life, but the crimes of himself and him above are jointly committed by the two, and Li Yun will not know.

So there is only one explanation, it is indeed Tao Qianming who betrayed himself.

Maybe Gao Changgong didn't know that Li Yun had already asked the people of the Longmen Dart Bureau to investigate the crimes of Gao Changgong and Tao Qianming, so he would know it clearly.

"Don't look at it, the above charges are all confessed by Tao Qianming himself, and when I first came to Linzi, how would I know so much inside information, if it wasn't for his complaint, how would I know."

As he spoke, Li Yun took the paper, for fear that he would destroy the corpse.

At this moment, Gao Chang's face turned green, and he took the money to forgive him, but he didn't expect that Tao Qianming's dog would dare to betray himself, it was extremely hateful.

"Gao Gongzi, I am also an old acquaintance when I read you, I can help you suppress these crimes, but I can't help the charges involving the Tao family." Li Yun said.

Gao Changgong said with an incredulous expression: "Lin Qingzhu, don't pretend to be a good person with me, will you be so kind?" ”

"Hehe, of course, if Gao Gongzi can break the bank, these are all easy to say." Li Yun said.

Gao Changgong said: "All this money is yours." ”

"Five thousand taels? Could it be that Gao Gongzi's worth is worth this price? Li Yun asked deliberately.

"How much do you want?"

"Thirty thousand taels, I will help you settle all your crimes in Linzi County, as for the Tao family, I think you don't need this official to come forward, you will settle accounts with them yourself."

"Lin Qingzhu, you are taking the opportunity to blackmail!" Gao Changgong asked angrily.

"If it doesn't work, forget it, then I have to send the paper to Lincheng, and ask Lord Taishou to decide."

Gao Chang was soft, so he had to say, "Okay! I promise you! ”

"Money, I'll send someone tomorrow, but if these things are known, I'll break you to pieces." Gao Changgong said.

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, I still understand."

……

After Gao Changgong left angrily, Li Yun looked at his back and said coldly: "Two fools." ”
