Lu Haikong started to make peace, squeezed out a smile and said: "Don't mind the five chiefs of Lord Ma, Lord Zhao, Lord Wang, Lord Chen, and that adult, Li Zhutou spoke a little rushed, and he also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, and the people above were urging him tightly." ”

Zhao Youguo scoffed and sneered: "What is the arrogance of a high-grade catcher!" Investigate the case and ask your Lord Bao to come by himself, we have a big temple here, not where the little ghosts can run in. ”

Li Guolou glared at him viciously, blaming Lu Haikong for interfering in everything.

Li Guolou said: "Lord Zhao said so, I will come to your big temple next time with the holy decree, and then I will ask Lord Zhao to kneel and reply." Can Lord Zhao call your heart like this? ”

Zhao Youguo said angrily: "Get out of your grandma, do you have such a great ability?" Who are you scaring about, with your virtue, please still have to move the holy decree, is your level enough? ”

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Lord Zhao's lesson is that the next level is not enough, it's just a dog released by Lord Bao, and the master told the dog to smell the smell first, who is not clean, it smells worse than a dog, and this level is still there below." ”

Zhao Youguo was furious, Li Guolou compared himself to a dog, so what is he? Isn't this a scoundrel? If the prestige of officialdom is gone, will it not become the laughing stock of others. hurriedly said: "Bold Li Guolou, you are ridiculous!" Is this the main street? Do you know how to talk back to the chief? Palm! ”

Li Guolou was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Lord Zhao is right, the household is not a street, you can do whatever you want, do whatever you want." But it's not a big temple, you can take whatever you want, please remember this point. Originally, he was an eagle dog, and it was not wrong to say that he was a dog, but it was difficult for Lord Zhao not to say that he was willing to serve the eagle dog. In the next opinion, Lord Zhao's sleeves are usually not flicked less, have you forgotten to send what use? ”

Li Guolou said that it was used to kowtow to An, and secretly sarcastically mocked these high-ranking officials who shook their donkey-like sleeves and bowed down, and they were making a donkey. directly offended all the officials present. Li Guolou was straightforward, and he hated to let these officials go to the lobby of the Criminal Department for questioning. Here these officials put on a show, and he couldn't ask what the situation was.

Ma Zhijun was angry in his heart, the four colleagues around him were already scolding Li Guolou, didn't the scolding make his subordinates look down on him even more? Let the guards hear that this court will not become a vegetable market.

Shocked by the wood, Ma Zhijun said angrily: "Shut up the official, it's too unusual, Zhao Guanzheng, what's wrong with you today, why are you scolding people who have no grade or level, the face of the household department is all lost to you." He said: "Li Guolou, let's go, I'll show you what you should see, I'll ask you what I should ask, and you'll scold enough if you should scold." Today, the official is lacking, so go back and ask the case another day. ”

Li Guolou blushed, hugged his fists and said: "Since Master Ma refuses to cooperate, I have to ask you to go directly to the lobby of the Criminal Department for questioning, and don't say that I am ruthless." ”

Li Guolou was threatening these officials, and when he arrived at the lobby of the Criminal Department, he stripped them of their official uniforms and put them directly in prison to speak. This case has to be solved, and a few scapegoats have been found, and these five officials are in direct contact with the treasury, and they can't escape anything about it.

Ma Zhijun's face was blue and white for a while, and his subordinates were tired, of course he knew it. But he didn't get involved, and there was no need to put this puddle of dirty water on his head. Preventing disasters for his subordinates and ruining his future is not a crime. As long as he doesn't have his share in this case, he can still be an official in the future, but if he participates, he is likely to be put under the big hat of the main culprit, and he weighs the weight of this weight. The money taken was just a bribe, not a crime. Officials who took bribes in the Qing Empire were not sentenced, and everyone shielded each other from the past.

Ma Zhijun is already trying to get out of this case, and at most bear one criminal responsibility for poor supervision. When he encounters a commander who comes hard and refuses to settle down with the encounter, he is considered unlucky. The scandal of the Qing Empire is related to him, and he will not be able to rise in this life. He also hated the officials next to him, and he didn't care about the importance of things, and he didn't leave room for Yu Shuzhen, the right Shangshu, which offended the supreme commander and asked Yu Shuzhen to stab this shocking scandal to the emperor. Now these officials don't blame him for getting out of the catastrophe and stealing the treasury, he will not bear it.

Ma Zhijun forced a smile and said, "Little Lizi, why bother, we are all old acquaintances." What else do you have to ask, I, as an uncle, will definitely cooperate with you. ”

Li Guolou was stunned, he had already stood up and was about to leave, but Ma Zhijun suddenly said softly. Everyone on the scene froze, looking at each other, wondering what would happen next?

Li Guolou is the best at looking at people's faces, and after thinking about it, he already knows Ma Zhijun's thoughts, he understands everything in the officialdom, it seems that Ma Zhijun wants to get out, and the responsibility for the theft should be borne by the thief. People who sit in high positions don't care about many things, and they just take the money when the time comes. Li Guolou didn't think about putting the thief's nest in one pot, just find a loophole and find out the reason, and the next officialdom intrigue is not something he has to do.

Li Guolou scolded him for a while just now, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Master Ma is willing to help, I am grateful, I will abide by the rules, and I will not make Master Ma ugly." ”

Li Guolou raised his head and glanced at Ma Zhijun, the two of them already had a sense of intimacy, and they knew what to do next, so they could be safe. He continued: "Master Ma, after reading the case file, I feel that there are still some omissions, and I hope that Master Ma will complete it. ”

Ma Zhijun asked dryly: "Team Li, what else is missing?" ”

Li Guolou said: "The information given to us by the Ministry of Household Affairs has a list of people who can enter and exit the treasury, and the official positions and terms of reference are also clearly written. But the most important thing is that their family situation and address are not written, so how can we check? ”

Li Guolou clearly told Ma Zhijun that if nothing could be found in the household department, they would have to check the homes of these people who entered and exited the treasury. Silver does not turn into water, it only becomes a mansion, a wife, and silk and satin.

Ma Zhijun didn't refuse, as if he didn't know the truth, and said, "Huh? Is there such a thing? Why doesn't this official know, Mr. Tong, how do you do things, and can't you do this kind of errand well? ”

Tong Hami hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's a mistake to do things, so I'm going to recompile the list of people who have entered the treasury." ”

Can a raider copy real money? Li Guolou believes that these people are all Qing officials of the Qing Empire, and their families will not exceed two hundred taels of silver, and as for the big mansion, it will be empty, and the belongings inside will not be complete. More than a month has passed since the incident, and these officials and treasury guards have already transferred their family's assets, and even their family members will not be complete. But with the home addresses of these officials and treasury guards, it is better than nothing, and the loopholes will definitely be found, Li Guolou smiled and faced the five chiefs.

Ma Zhijun asked, "Li Teamzheng, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

Li Guolou replied: "Master Ma, there is nothing else to ask. ”

The next thing is the cold field, everyone nostrils to the sky, looking at the paintings on the roof, there are rules in the officialdom, even the water in the teacup, no one drinks, the dry scene is boring.

Li Guolou got the home addresses of the officials and treasury guards he wanted, but he didn't look at them carefully. Ma Zhijun had already picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Li Guolou hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Thanks to Lord Ma's cooperation, I will find out here today, and I will leave." ”

Tong Hami raised his voice beside him: "Send off!" ”

As soon as the five officials shook off their official sleeves, the donkey's hooves flew over, and they turned back to the back hall, not even saying a kind word to Li Guolou.

Tong Hami laughed a few times dryly and said, "Team Li, please." We'll see you another day. ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "I'm tired of Mr. Tong." "Stuffed a silver ingot into Tong Hami's palm, the rules of this entourage cannot be broken, the officials above give gifts and accept bribes, and the entourage below plucks the feathers. Li Guolou didn't want to find anyone in the household department in the future, so he had to deal with the entourage around the officials first.

Lu Haikong was a little ashamed, Li Guolou had only come once, and the people in the household department knew that Li Guolou was not easy to mess with, and he didn't know how many times he came, and people didn't take him seriously at all, and they didn't even say hello to him when he sent off guests. It seems that you have to be tough sometimes, and you can't just pinch people as soft persimmons.

On the way, Lu Haikong looked at Li Guolou and lowered his voice, and said: "Little Lizi, both sides pulled out guns in the household department, this basket is bigger, do you want to report to the chief?" ”

Li Guolou replied: "Of course, you think that if we draw a gun, Lord Yu will not know." With such a big battle, everyone has it, and someone has already reported it to Master Yu, and this matter cannot be hidden. ”

Lu Haikong gritted his teeth and said: "Little Lizi, you deceived me so hard, Master Bao blamed it, and you carried it alone." ”

Li Guolou didn't cut it and said: "Isn't it just offending the money bag?" I'm afraid that the household department will card the silver of our criminal department in the future, don't worry, now these people are grasshoppers after the autumn and can't grow, and there will be more than adults in the future, who dares not to open their eyes. ”

Lu Haikong looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm afraid that Lord Yu will not be able to protect himself." ”

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Lao Lu said that you are stupid, and now our Lord Bao can only try his best to solve the case for Lord Yu, do you think this kind of case will not be solved?" When the time comes, you see, there will always be bones thrown out for us, it depends on how big Lord Yu's appetite is? Got it? ”

Lu Haikong said angrily: "Okay, you kid, I've counted Master Bao into it, I'll go tell the truth, you have a good look." ”

"Shhh Li Guolou gestured and said, "Lao Lu be quiet, be careful to be heard by the people behind you." ”

Lu Haikong turned his head to look at the ten catchers who were following behind him, and said, "What are you afraid of!" They have already eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard, they have all drawn their guns, and neither of them will betray us both. ”

There were bursts of sneezing behind Li Guolou, although Shicai had drunk a bowl of ginger soup, but the taste of wearing single clothes in winter, few people could resist it, and these people would catch a cold tomorrow.

Li Guolou's young body was great, he didn't sneeze, and it was useless to tease everyone, and it was only more than half an hour before he caught a cold. Everyone sneezed and let out long snots along the way, "Ahh "Everyone wiped their noses with their sleeves together, and the old men couldn't be too particular.

A duel with the smell of gunsmoke suddenly made everyone closer, and the life of daring to fight and kill was energetic, and the babbling Ma Dequan boasted about his bravery just now, without even blinking his eyebrows, and without losing the face of the criminal department.

Ai Hai sighed: "Ma Cake, saying that you have no knowledge and no culture, and you still don't admit it, you should not blink your eyelids." Do eyebrows blink? Silly melon. ”

Ma Dequan laughed and said, "Slip of the tongue, who doesn't know this." It's all Tobe's lunch is so bad that my mouth becomes unpalatable. ”

Ai Hai sneered: "Ma Bi, if your mouth could speak human words, you would have been in the right team a long time ago, and I would have slapped your ass in turn." ”

Lu Haikong sighed: "It's better to be a boy chicken, the firepower is strong." My brother is old, and he is going to drink medicine when he comes home. After that, he puffed his nose and wiped his snot clean.

Everyone laughed, snot couldn't help but flow out, and hurriedly rolled up their sleeves, making people nowhere to be found.

Li Guolou and Lu Haikong were chatting in front, and the group of catchers behind them were not as uniform as they were when they walked in the morning. Today's errand went smoothly, and on the way back to the yamen of the Criminal Department, the loose formation let passers-by know that this was a group of officials who had nothing to do and were walking on the street, equipped with waist knives and short-barreled muskets, and were well-armed, and no one would bump into their muzzles. When Li Guolou and the others were about 10 minutes away from the Criminal Department, two gunshots rang out from the street next to them, and a scene of shocking bombings came suddenly.
