The people knelt there, all saying that they hadn't seen Shen Leng last night, and they hadn't seen any down-and-out brothers selling their armor to Shen Leng, only Zhu Changgui, the boss who sold knives and noodles, said that he had seen Shen Leng a few days ago, and someone handed a package to Shen Leng at the stall, because it hadn't been a few days since it had passed, so he had an impression.

Shen Leng now understands that this pit is indeed a bit deep.

The emperor looked at Zhu Changgui: "You tell me, when did you see someone hand over a package to Shen Leng." ”

Zhu Changgui lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it should have been five days ago, it was already night, and there were no other diners at that time, so the grass people remembered some, and the main thing is that when the package was placed on the table, the grass people also took a look, the package skin looked like black and blue, and I didn't see it clearly when it was dark, but what impressed me was that there was a red flower on the package skin." ”

The emperor glanced back, the package skin was really black, he reached out and turned the package skin around, and saw an embroidered red flower underneath, this package skin has been placed downward, Zhu Changgui will definitely not see it after he comes in, it can't be what he saw just now.

Zhu Changgui continued: "The grass people should not be mistaken, because one of them gave the reward money that day, not less, two taels of silver, rarely meet such a generous guest, two taels of silver can be eaten in the grass people for a month." ”

The emperor asked Zhu Changgui: "Shen Leng gave it?" ”

Zhu Changgui shook his head: "No, no, it's another person." ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath.

"Five days ago?"

Yao Jin's face became ugly: "Four days ago, my son Yao Chaozong was arrested by the Guogong and his troops...... Guogong, why are you so ruthless? ”

The emperor glanced at Yao Jin: "Yao Jin, you saw this set of armor ten days ago?" ”

"Yes, the minister personally maintained and wiped the oil ten days ago."

"What kind of oil do you use?"

"The oil from the military department's martial arts workshop is specially used to maintain armor and weapons."

The emperor looked at Shen Leng, and the meaning in his eyes was that you see, how big a pit people have dug for you, all the details can be correct, this is a tailor-made pit.

Shen Leng glanced at the emperor with innocent eyes.

The emperor looked at Yao Jin: "Do you know where you put your armor?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the son of the minister, of course he knows where the ancestral obscene scale armor is placed, and everyone in the minister's family knows it, but the minister didn't expect it to be stolen, and ...... It was stolen by the family. ”

The Emperor returned to his chair and sat down, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Now I will help you sort this out...... Probably, in order to win over Shen Leng, Yao Chaozong wanted to send his son and nephew to the water master, so he stole the family's obscene scale armor and gave it to Shen Leng, and at the same time gave Shen Leng hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

The emperor asked Yao Jiu'er, "Is that so?" ”

Yao Jiu'er thought for a while and replied, "It should be." ”

The emperor looked at Shen Leng again: "In other words, you took his armor and received his silver, but as soon as you turned around, you sent him to the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, and you also threatened Yao Chaozong to destroy him as long as he dared to speak out about this matter?" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "The minister himself is about to believe it." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and shouted outward, "Wei Lan." ”

Wei Lan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, quickly came in from the outside: "The minister is here." ”

The emperor said: "Send them all to the palace of the court commander, take them into prison, and I will arrange someone to try this case tomorrow, so take them all away." ”

Yao Jin knelt there: "Your Majesty, the minister is not guilty, and the minister doesn't know." ”

"Let's go to the Tingwei Mansion first."

The emperor glanced at Yao Jin: "Tell your family to also go to the Tingwei Mansion to assist in the investigation." ”

Wei Lan looked at the emperor with some difficulty: "An Guogong ......"

"He also took him to the Tingwei Mansion to take him into custody."

The emperor glanced at Shen Leng: "He is the defendant." ”

The implication is that the plaintiff is closed, let alone the defendant?

"Suspend all of Shen Leng's powers and wait until this case is clarified."

The emperor waved his hand: "Take it away." ”

Wei Lan walked up to Shen Leng and bowed his head slightly: "Guogong, offended." ”

Shen Leng looked at the set of obscene scale armor on the emperor's table, there was some reluctance in his eyes, the emperor glared at him, Shen Leng said with his eyes that the ministers had fallen into the pit, if this armor was not given to the ministers, wouldn't it be a greater loss? I really want it.

The emperor's eyes were ...... I don't care about you.

He said in his heart, you stinky boy, you have a really big heart.

An hour later, everyone was taken to the Tingwei Mansion to be detained, Han Zhaozhi ordered Tingwei to take Shen Leng to his study for personal interrogation, Shen Leng followed the two Tingwei in, Han Zhaozhi waited at the door, as soon as Shen Leng entered the door, he closed the door, Shen Leng walked to the table and sat on it, shaking his head: "It's the first time I've met such a playful opponent." ”

Han Zhaozhi smiled and said: "It's not that there is no way at all, I have already sent someone to find the two people you said, they must be related to the Yao family, but they are afraid that people have fled from Chang'an far away, and now a day, night and half a day have passed, if you want to escape, you have already left Chang'an for hundreds of miles." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "The people who want to play with me this time know me very well. ”

Han Zhaozhi asked, "What do you say?" ”

"He knows that as long as I see that indecent scale armor, I will definitely take the bait, and he also took advantage of Yao Chaozong's case, and now that Yao Chaozong is dead, there is no proof of death, Yao Jiu'er insisted that I received the money, and I do have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in my hand......"

Han Zhaozhi said: "Isn't your silver ticket numbered in the sky?" ”

"It's a day ticket number."

Shen Leng looked at Han Zhaozhi and said, "Your Majesty has not revoked the penalty for the sky ticket number, so it is not right for me to have a silver ticket with a ticket number of hundreds of thousands of two days in my hand......"

At this moment, Qianban Fang Bailu came in from outside, looked at Han Zhaozhi, looked at Shen Leng, hesitated for a while, and said, "Just a few days ago, Fangcheng County, there was an accident under our people's noses. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Someone held an auction in Daguang Commercial Bank in Fangcheng County, and there were a lot of precious things, and the silver obtained from the auction was hundreds of thousands of taels, and these treasures were worth a lot of money, and suddenly it was very wrong to appear in a commercial house in a county town, and what was even more wrong was that on the same day, a large amount of silver was deposited into the two major ticket numbers in Fangcheng County."

Fang Bailu looked at Shen Leng: "The second big ticket number is the day ticket number, and a sum of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is deposited." ”

"When?"

Shen Leng asked, "Specific." ”

"Just the day before Yao Chaozong was arrested, Fangcheng County held this auction, without warning, no publicity, no momentum, but there were a lot of people who came to Daguang Commercial Bank to participate in the auction that day, only half a day, all the treasures were bought, and the silver taels obtained were about 480,000 taels, which was also known later, because the auction was a closed-door auction, and it was said that all regular customers did not accept the living, so no one knew on the day of the auction."

Shen Leng sighed: "I happen to have 480,000 taels of silver tickets in my hand. ”

Han Zhaozhi paused for a moment: "Such a coincidence? ”

Shen Leng said: "It's not a coincidence, on the day of the trapping of Yao Chaozong, Chen Ran was exposed in Lin Miaozhai with a silver ticket, and it is not difficult for those people to know how much the amount of the silver ticket is." ”

"But the time is not right, the other party didn't know how many silver tickets you had in your hand before the auction."

"Two big

Someone with them in the ticket number? ”

Han Zhaozhi suddenly reacted: "You are the silver ticket that you took from Lin Luoyu after you arrived in Chang'an, and if Lin Luoyu wants to take the silver, the nearest place is the second ticket number or the wooden ticket number, these two places have their people, after Lin Luoyu took the silver ticket, they already know how much." ”

Shen Leng thought about it, and there was indeed only this reasonable explanation.

Han Zhaozhi sighed: "I thought this pit was already very big, but I didn't expect that what you fell into now is only the basement, once the auction is known, you will fall into the second layer, if you can't explain it clearly, you will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, and you won't be able to turn over." ”

Shen Leng said: "So, now even I am about to believe it." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Fangcheng County auction on the first day of Yao Chaozong's arrest, such a large sum of silver was deposited into the second big ticket number on the same day, from the time is right, such a big customer, the second big ticket number will be temporarily closed, everyone will count the silver two, but there is an hour is almost there, I speculate that those people will urge, keep urging, to ensure that the inventory is completed as soon as possible, after the counting, if you run to Chang'an City quickly, half a day is enough, and the silver ticket can be handed over to Yao Chaozong before the city gate is closed on the same day. And now the testimony of those people happened to be given to you by Yao Chaozong that night, and the time was impeccable, and there was no flaw in finding it. ”

Shen Leng sighed lightly: "So, the next day, I took these silver tickets to trap Yao Chaozong. ”

Han Zhaozhi continued: "The other party's design is very fine, and even why Yao Chaozong appeared in Lin Miaozhai has been designed, because the silver ticket that Chen Ran brought is the silver ticket he just gave you the night before, Yao Chaozong will of course be suspicious, so he will hurriedly rush to Lin Miaozhai with people." ”

Shen Leng said: "Reasonable." ”

Han Zhaozhi looked at Shen Leng: "I said it wrong, didn't you fall to the second layer of the underground, you are already in the seventeenth layer of hell, if you can't find evidence to prove that you were wronged, it won't be long before you are the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "I'm worried about one thing now, if this happens, you will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Shen Leng: "What? ”

"Those things that have been auctioned, are there any Yao families?"

Shen Leng pondered for a moment, startled.

Han Zhaozhi said: "If a large part of these auctioned items are the Yao family's things, it is enough to prove that the Yao family had to hold this auction in order to buy you, and give you the silver tickets that were exchanged for selling things." ”

After Han Zhaozhi finished speaking, he looked at Fang Bailu: "Did you go to track down those buyers?" ”

"I'm checking."

Fang Bailu said: "The people in Fangcheng County felt suspicious and had been checking before, but they didn't have a clue, since the second big ticket number was made as a ticket number, they couldn't help but accept the silver that people wanted to deposit......

He glanced at Shen Leng and continued: "The other party has a stub, and it is evidence to take it out, and the amount of silver tickets in Guogong's hand is right, which is too unfavorable for Guogong." ”

Han Zhaozhi nodded: "They have learned to be smart, and they no longer treat you as rough and simple as before, in fact, it's right to think about it, at that time, the easiest way to kill you was because you didn't have enough status, they felt that killing you didn't need to be so bothersome, but now it's different, you have a transcendent status, and you have to work hard to get rid of you......"

He let out a long breath, "I don't want to hear any more bad news." ”

At this moment, Qianban Nie Ye came in from outside, his face was ugly: "My lord, someone came to the Tingwei Mansion to report the case." ”

"What case?"

"It was said that I bought some things at the auction in Fangcheng County a few days ago, and after I went back, I took a closer look and found that it might be stolen goods, maybe something stolen from a big family, so the buyer was a little scared and came to report the case."

Han Zhaozhi let out a long breath again: "Bad news is still coming. ”
