When Gong Wenbao was talking about Chen Bing, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, his eyes were staring directly at Chen Lifu, according to his experience in handling cases in the past few years, when this kind of key question is asked, the suspect will react differently.

If the suspect is really guilty, or if there is a ghost in his heart, then it will definitely show something unusual.

Some people will pretend to be calm, some will pretend to be surprised, and some will say I didn't understand, but no matter what they are showing, these are unusual expressions, and subtle facial expressions and eyes will change.

Some people change a little more, some people change a little less, but there will always be changes.

And Gong Wenbao is also a veteran of handling cases, he has investigated many cases in the past few years, and he can distinguish many things from the subtle expressions and movements of the suspect.

But to Gong Wenbao's surprise, this Chen Lifu behaved too normally!

After Chen Lifu heard the name Chen Bing, he was slightly stunned at first, showing a look of doubt, and then said: "He is one of our Chen family's external housekeepers, and he is also a side disciple of our Chen family, he has been an errand boy in our Chen family's industry since he was a child, and Chen is naturally very familiar with him!" ”

"I just don't know, what do you want to ask him?" Now Chen Lifu doesn't know that Chen Bing is dead, and it is very strange to die!

Gong Wenbao naturally couldn't tell him that Chen Bing was dead, or that he couldn't let Chen Lifu know that the Inspectorate knew that Chen Bing was dead, because he didn't rule out that Chen Bing's death was related to Chen Lifu, perhaps, this person was ordered by Chen Lifu to kill.

Chen Lifu was placed under house arrest in the guest house of the Inspectorate, theoretically cut off from contact with the outside world, but no one can guarantee that Chen Lifu had no way to contact the outside world, in order to cover up the crime, so that people would kill Chen Bing, a very key witness, or Chen Lifu may have made arrangements before, once he had an accident, someone outside would immediately implement the plan prepared by Chen Lifu in advance and get rid of Chen Bing.

Yes, even Gong Wenbao already believes in his heart that the Chen family is rich, and Chen Lifu is not short of money, so he will not destroy his future in order to deduct more than 100,000 taels of silver, this is a typical killing of chickens and eggs!

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are considered a fart compared to the director of the tax inspection department, and even a higher position in the future! =

But who can say anything about things in this world, maybe Chen Lifu really did it.

Moreover, think about how the Chen family's wealth was accumulated?

I really think that they have accumulated by being diligent and thrifty, nonsense, Gong Wenbao is not stupid, and he knows with his toes that the wealth of the Chen family must have been obtained by those ancestors who were corrupt and perverted.

However, those are all old things, and they are all things that happened in the previous dynasty, and he Gong Wenbao naturally can't control it, but since he has such a first premise, won't Chen Lifu rely on his status as an official to make a lot of money like his ancestors!

Therefore, Gong Wenbao still maintained the vigilance that he should have as an imperial historian, he doubted everything, reasonable and unreasonable, he doubted.

In the eyes of many imperial historians in the Inspectorate of the Tang Dynasty, every official is a corrupt criminal, and the reason why they have not been arrested now is because their Inspectorate has not found evidence.

When he found evidence, he sent them all to prison, and he was promoted to make a fortune because he caught a corrupt official, and since then he has become a winner in life.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of the entangled institutions within the Inspectorate, these colleagues in the Inspectorate are also potential embezzlers, and they are staring at them with wide eyes.

There are many regulatory agencies in the Tang Dynasty, and they are a bit complicated!

On the patrol side, there is an anti-corruption agency for officials, and there is an internal monitoring agency for patrol police.

On the side of the Inspectorate, there are also anti-corruption agencies, and there are also internal supervision agencies for supervision.

Outside, there is also the Survey and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy, which also monitors hundreds of officials, silently collecting all the evidence of crimes, and it is rumored that in the confidential document library of Hantong, there are many official archives, which can be presented to the Holy Son of Heaven at any time, and the officials' every move is recorded.

However, it has been several years since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but it has never made these public, let alone directly arrested many people with these archives as evidence, and even refused to disclose these archives to the patrol police department and the inspectorate.

In the whole world, only the Son of Heaven has access to these archives!

And the worries of the outside world are actually right, Hantong does have such an archive, which stores more than countless archives, and it is still rapidly increasing and updating every day, but these archives are not only the archives of personnel, but also all kinds of messy archives, and even if they are personal archives, they are not only civilian officials, but also military generals, as well as some influential people in society, such as big businessmen, various toasts in the southwest region, and so on.

And how detailed are these archives? In the military, but officers above the rank of major, their archives can be found in this archive, both good and bad.

And many incidents are also, for example, if there is a sudden abnormal fluctuation in food prices in a certain area, then the local Hantong eagle dogs will quickly investigate this kind of thing and report it.

It's just that most of these archival materials are sent to be consulted, and then stamped with a 'top secret' seal, and then sent to the archives.

In most cases, the Lords do not react directly to these people or events unless they are very harmful or there is a clear directive.

Therefore, although Hantong is famous and the officials are very afraid, in fact, they are more like a pair of eyes looking at every corner of the Tang Dynasty, observing, and recording!

And when the need comes, they will become a stalk, piercing the heart of the enemy!

What enemy? Endanger the enemies of the Tang Dynasty!

It's not accurate to say this, it should be more accurate to say that it should be someone who endangers Li Xuan's rule!

From the day it was founded, Hantong had a very clear mission: to use all means to maintain the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan!

As for ordinary hours such as official corruption, people are too lazy to care!

What the outside world also didn't know was that when Gong Wenbao, the director of the Chengtianfu Inspectorate, questioned Chen Lifu, a young man in the next room wearing a servant costume quietly pasted a paper tube on the wall, and then his ear was pressed against the paper tube, while the other hand was using a charcoal pen to record in a small notebook!

No one in the entire Chengtianfu Inspectorate knows that this servant who has been working in the Chengtianfu Inspectorate for a year, is thin and weak on weekdays, and is not good at speaking, and any big man reprimands him, he will be frightened and kneel down directly to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Don't think how powerful this Hantong Eagle Dog is, what outsiders see is only his hidden appearance, and his seemingly thin body can overturn five or six strong men with his bare hands.

In fact, he really couldn't fight, and even the big guys reprimanded him for begging for mercy in fright, which was also his real reaction.

He's just an ordinary inspector servant, but he had an extra part-time job half a year ago, and he was recruited as a supernumerary agent of Hantong, and he needs to record the words and deeds of the adults in the inspectorate guest house on weekdays.

This part-time job can bring him an extra income of one or two dollars of silver every month!

That's all!

But it is such a person, but he recorded all the conversations between Gong Wenbao and Chen Lifu, if nothing else, this report can be sent to the head of the Jinling Station of the Hantong Chengtianfu tonight, and then the stationmaster of the Jinling Station will continue to submit it after reading it, and it will appear in the hands of the relevant responsible officials of the Hantong tomorrow.

Subsequently, this report will be stamped with top secret and sent to the archives for sealing, along with many other reports!

The only difference is that this time, the relevant officials of Hantong excerpted a few sentences from this report, and then made a report on Chen Lifu's case together with other information on Hantong's side.

The report was packed into a document bag, which was sealed with wax and stamped with the private seal of the official in charge of the Han Dynasty, and then stamped with a large seal with the inscription: "Class 3 Top Secret"

There is a line of small words after these four big words: The trespasser is guilty of capital offense!

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, there are two levels of secrecy, namely secrecy and top secret, and secrecy and top secret are divided into three classes, with the first class being the highest.

First-class top secret, it can only be opened by the Son of Heaven himself, and others cannot open it even if they hold the holy decree, and those who open it without permission will be punished as conspiracy.

Second-class top secret, it can be read by order, and it can be read by the head of the Hantong Section.

The third class is top secret, which can be read by order, and can be read by the section chief and deputy section chief of the Hantong Section, and other specific personnel who have been granted authority.

In the case of first-class confidentiality, second-class confidentiality, and third-class confidentiality, in addition to the above-mentioned personnel, some internal members of the Hantong can read it, and each person, the authority of different positions is different.

And reading documents that you don't have permission without permission is a capital offense!

This report, which was covered with the words "third-class top secret", was then packed into an iron box like more than a dozen other touches, all of which were covered with top secret Ziyang's file bags.

The tin box was then completely locked!

Then the iron box was packed into a cloth bag and sent to the post station division, and the people of the post station division tied the cloth bag wrapped in the iron box and the official documents sent by several other departments, directly tied it into a burden and carried it directly on his back, and then got on the horse and galloped!

This report on Chen Lifu's case will be delivered station by station by 300 miles expedited along with other official documents until it is delivered to Li Xuan.
