Xing Zuoming walked up to Bai Shan, who was tied to the pillar, picked up the account book and asked, "What is this?" ”

Bai Shan turned his head to one side and did not answer.

Xing Zuoming punched Bai Shan in the abdomen, so that his eyes were about to bulge out, and the severe pain in his abdomen made his face turn red at first, and then instantly turned white, and beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.

"Again, what is this?" Xing Zuoming asked, holding up the account book.

Bai Shan suffered a loss, panting and said, "Account book! ”

"What books?"

"I don't know!"

Xing Zuoming approached Bai Shan with a dangerous face: "Do you say it again?" ”

Bai Shan endured the pain in his abdomen and said, "I really don't know, I haven't seen what is written on it, so you pounced on me and crushed me to the ground!" ”

Xing Zuoming sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?" If you don't know what is written on it, how can you let the thief Ge Laosan steal it? ”

Bai Shan closed his eyes.

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Xing Zuoming stepped aside and waved his hand to a catcher on the opposite side.

The catcher quickly walked to the brazier, picked up the red-hot soldering iron, and flicked it a few times, and walked in front of Bai Shan.

Bai Shan felt the high temperature of the soldering iron, opened his eyes and looked, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and when he saw that the red soldering iron was about to press on his face, his psychological defense line collapsed instantly, and he shouted: "Stop, stop, I say, I say, I say all!" ”

Xing Zuoming waved his hand to the catcher, and motioned to the clerk next to him to make a record of the interrogation.

Zhao Ping, who was standing outside watching, saw that this guy was abandoned, and said to He Yong: "When he has confessed everything, take the interrogation transcript to this king!" ”

"No!"

Zou Ruhai, who returned to the Criminal Department, felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal as soon as he entered the door, and he suddenly felt very bad, if Bai Shan successfully got the account book, it should be calm, but now many officials in the Criminal Department are talking in a low voice.

Zou Ruhai called a principal and asked: "This official seems to be a little abnormal today, what are they talking about?" ”

The director was surprised: "The waiter doesn't know? Zhanggu Baishan was captured by the people of the Imperial City Division! ”

"What?" Zou Ruhai's face changed greatly, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't seem too flustered, he immediately asked: "What happened?" Why did the people of the Imperial City Division arrest him? ”

"It is said that he found a thief to come in and steal a very important file, and was seized on the spot!"

Zou Ruhai's mind was stunned for a moment, he sent the principal to sit in the class room, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, he knew that he couldn't sit still, he had to find a way to save himself.

He simply packed up and left the punishment department, without telling anyone, and left in a carriage.

The carriage was driving down the street, and from time to time he turned his head through the back window of the carriage to see if anyone was following him, and after observing for a while, no one seemed to be watching, and he was a little relieved.

He sat in the carriage and thought for a while, and then instructed one of his attendants: "You go home quickly and tell Madame, let her pack up and take a few children out of the city as quickly as possible, and wait for me in the Zhuangzi outside Xinfeng City!" ”

The attendant was surprised: "Master, aren't we going home?" What happened? ”

"You don't have to ask, you just tell Madame, let her do what the master says, it's too late, go quickly!"

"No!" The attendant said yes and turned around and ran in the direction of home.

Zou Ruhai instructed another entourage: "You quickly go to Qu Liangbo's mansion and tell Steward Wu, and say that I will wait for him in the temple in the east of the city!" ”

"No!"

Soon, Zou Ruhai's carriage arrived at the gate of a temple in the east of the city, where incense was flourishing, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims and sightseeing people who came to offer incense.

Zou Ruhai apparently came here from time to time, and he also had a meditation room in this temple dedicated to meditation, and after he arrived, the monks of the temple greeted him and ushered him into a meditation room reserved for him.

Soon, a middle-aged man arrived, and Zou Ruhai got up to greet him.

After closing the door, the middle-aged man asked, "Why did Zou Shilang send someone to call me in a hurry?" ”

Zou Ruhai said: "Steward Wu, the King of Shu has already found out about this official!" ”

Steward Wu's heart jumped, he frowned and comforted: "Zou Shilang, don't be impatient, you tell me what happened, I can go back and report to the uncle, and the uncle will make the decision for himself!" ”

Zou Ruhai immediately told Steward Wu in detail what happened.

After hearing this, Steward Wu thought about it carefully and said, "So you don't know if Cui Yanze really left the account book?" ”

"I don't know!"

Steward Wu comforted: "Don't worry, you must be calm, and don't think about running, where can you run with such a big family?" Where can you hide? Now that I am stable in the world, the government is harmonious, if you run today, you will be arrested tomorrow! ”

A waiter of the criminal department was reprimanded by a housekeeper and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Steward Wu is right, but I'm afraid, if it's thousands, tens of thousands, it's just that, but the number of our greedy inks is too big, once it is verified, I'm afraid that my head as a waiter won't be able to keep it!" ”

Steward Wu said, "How much does that Baishan know about you?" ”

"He doesn't know much, even if he confesses everything he knows, I will only be dismissed at most, and I will not be imprisoned, I am worried that he will not be able to endure the torture after being arrested!"

Steward Wu thought for a while and said, "That's it, you don't care about this matter, I'll find a way to solve this Baishan, so that he can't speak!" However, if you are taken in for questioning by someone from the Imperial City Division, you must be clear about what to say and what not to say! Don't worry, my lord will definitely find a way to save your life, as long as you keep your mouth shut, with the power of my lord, it is enough to exonerate you! ”

Zou Ruhai promised: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I won't say anything!" ”

Subsequently, Steward Wu quickly left the temple and returned to Quliangbo's mansion.

Qu Liangbo Yuan Gao, he is Mulan's uncle, is Mulan's mother Hua Yuan's mother's brother, Zhao Junsheng still takes good care of this wife's maternal uncle, and when he was still in Wuchuan Town, he took him to Wuchuan Town as a small official, and later came to Youzhou to make him an official.

After Zhao Junsheng was crowned king, he appointed him as the palace Zhan Shi. After the founding of the country, he successively served in various ministries, and the official position was getting bigger and bigger, when the title was awarded, he was canonized as Qu Liang Bo, which is a real earl, even those founding fathers and generals are at most only marquis, they still have military exploits, from the dragon's merits, Qu Liang Bo is completely based on the identity of a relative is already a great gift, it can be said that it is a standard model for a person to ascend to heaven.

Now, he is the secretary of the temple.

Yuan Gao was lying on a recliner basking in the sun, his body was covered with a blanket, and it seemed wonderful to close his eyes and listen to the chirping of birds in the trees.

Steward Wu walked over quickly and bowed: "Master, the big thing is not good, Zou Ruhai is being targeted by the King of Shu!" ”

Yuan Gao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "You went to see him just now?" ”

"Yes, we met in the temple meditation room in the east of the city, he said that the people of the Imperial City Division searched out an account book from Cui Yanze's house, and Cui Yanze recorded on it every record of the money and property that he and several other ministers of the court had been honored over the years, and the time, place and number were all remembered clearly, he didn't know about it, he was in the criminal department's henchman Bai Shan saw the imperial city secretary He Yong handed it over to the king of Shu by the side of the king of Shu, and the king of Shu also locked the account book in the bookcase, so he asked Baishan to find someone to steal the account book, Unexpectedly, Bai Shan and the thief he found were all caught by the people of the Imperial City Division! ”

Yuan Gao had already stood up after hearing this, and he said angrily: "Zou Ruhai is stupid, this is Zhao Ping's kid's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, Zou Ruhai, this idiot, has been fooled!" He didn't want to think that Cui Yanze had been dead for more than two months, the Imperial City Division had already turned his mansion upside down, if there was any account book that had been turned out a long time ago, and now such an account book was obviously the trick of the King of Shu! ”

Steward Wu said: "Zou Ruhai said that he also thought that it might be the king of Shu who cheated at the time, but he didn't dare to gamble, so he could only risk letting Baishan find someone to steal the account book, but I have stabilized him and told him not to panic, even if he was caught, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Yuan Gao walked to the pond and thought, for a long time, he turned around and said: "The old man heard that the punishment of the Imperial City Division is extremely terrifying, an intact person goes in, even if there is no crime, when he comes out, the person has already been abolished, this Bai Shan is only afraid that he will not be able to support the torture methods of the Imperial City Division, maybe he has already been recruited at this time, Zhao Ping may have already obtained a confession and knew something about Zou Ruhai!" ”

Steward Wu said: "Master, if the King of Shu grasps Baishan's confession, I'm afraid that he will do something to Zou Ruhai, once Zou Ruhai is arrested, will he not be able to bear to confess to the master?" I don't think he'll be able to keep his mouth shut! ”

Yuan Gao thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Zou Ruhai is not so unbearable, he has a large family in Chang'an, if he bites people indiscriminately, isn't he afraid that his family will be retributed?" You send someone to keep an eye on Zou Ruhai, and once he is caught, report it immediately! ”

"No!"

Yuan Gao said again: "If we have someone within the Imperial City Division, it will be easy to do it!" ”

Steward Wu shook his head and said: "It's difficult, the people of the Imperial City Division are too mysterious, no one even knows if they have a family, and no one knows where their family lives, and those people are all equipped with unique skills, they are all proficient in tracking and anti-tracking techniques, even if they send someone to keep an eye on it, it is easy to be detected, I have already sent someone to try it, and they have been found three times in a row, if it is not for the fast retreat, I am afraid that they have already caught the handle!" ”

Yuan Gao thought for a moment and said: "Maybe the old man should meet Zhao Ping's kid, he has only one brother and sister, Zhao Ling'er is naturally impossible to inherit the throne, although Zhao Dong is the crown prince, but now His Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and when it is his turn, he still doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, Zhao Ping still has a chance, it depends on whether this little guy can seize the opportunity!" ”

Steward Wu was thoughtful, "What does the master mean?" ”

Yuan Gao said: "Prepare, the old man will go to the Shu Wangfu to meet him at night!" ”

"No!"
