After Zhao Gou gave the order, he followed Ye Mengde for several days, and reported everything in detail, but in the end, he still didn't get any useful clues, and he couldn't see any flaws. In the court, Zhao Gou also silently observed his every move, but there was still no result.

"How is that possible? There is no flaw at all! Zhao Gou returned to the house sullenly and muttered to himself: "If you really participate in it, it is impossible to hide that there is no trace at all, everything is too bland, and it is like being in the game when you stay out of the matter." ”

"Young master, could it be that we have overlooked something?" Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Steward Wang, and he continued: "Even if it is a well-planned matter, there will always be a trace left, and it is impossible to completely cover it up. Unless you really stay out of the way and don't get involved, it's hard to be seamless. ”

"However, all the clues point to Ye Mengde, if he really didn't participate, forget it, if he participated, he could do it to such a point, this person's city is unfathomable, or has an ulterior motive, and has been hiding his true self."

Steward Wang analyzed it seriously and said in a deep voice: "Such a person is the most terrifying, if there is not enough evidence in front of him, it is difficult to bow down and confess." We've been monitoring just on the road or near the house, and we've been ignoring what's going on in the house. ”

"That's right!" Zhao Gou shouted violently, he had been sending people to monitor Ye Mengde's daily actions, but he ignored everything that happened in the household department. Before, when they went to the household department to collect evidence, there were two people who were suspicious, and then they didn't think about it, and Zhao Gou didn't think about it.

If there is no situation in the Tobu Shangshu Mansion, then something is happening in the Tobu, and this is an internal matter. Even if they wanted to track it down, it would be quite difficult and difficult. But it's worth taking a risk in order to find out who is behind the scenes.

After Tong Guan was escorted to the prison, he was escorted to the execution ground by the guards the next day to execute Ling Chi's punishment. At that moment, the entire people of the capital were overjoyed, and Tong Guan's death was what they were willing to see; On that day, the entire execution ground was surrounded by the people.

There are so many people that some people even pick up chairs and stand on them to watch the results of what happened. Over the years, Tong Guan has acted recklessly, and the people have been miserable, and they have always dared to be angry and dare not speak. It's hard to seize such an opportunity today, and you can't miss it.

As a result, the people of the capital poured into the execution ground one after another, and they were willing to stop only after witnessing Tong Guan's thousands of cuts. Except for those profiteers, corrupt officials and others, everyone else arrived at the execution ground, and the scene was shocking, even the emperor had never seen such a scene.

When the executioner started from the first knife to the end, the people shouted and cheered, scolded, and some even snatched Tong Guan's flesh and blood and threw it directly to the dog to eat. Song Huizong saw such a scene for the first time, and the resentment in the eyes of the people slowly dissipated.

Zhao Ji knew that Tong Guan had done a lot of hurtful things over the years, but he had always tolerated it, and it had never been such a result, and everything that Zhao Gou asked that day was also told to Zhao Ji, and even the story of him and Cai Jing being in the same stream was said, Song Huizong was heartbroken.

Cai Jing has the power alone, and Song Huizong is only jealous of him, and he wants to deal with it quickly; Tong Guan was originally the chief eunuch waiting by his side, and he also gave him a lot of help, but he didn't act for a long time because he took care of the old feelings. In the end, he found that as the emperor, the one who hurt him the most was actually the favored ministers around him, which made his face bloodless and his heart like ashes.

Zhao Ji personally stood on the city wall and looked at the people gathered at the execution ground, and saw the smiles on their faces, only to know that his previous self was ridiculously wrong. Now, Tong Guan is dead, and those guards have disappeared, and only Ye Mengde is the only one who really knows.

Zhao Gou told Zhao Ji about his thoughts, and Zhao Ji did not object, and let him continue to investigate. Things have already begun, and we must not give up halfway, otherwise everything we have done before will be in vain. Therefore, Zhao Gou tried his best to track down Ye Mengde, among which Zhao Ji also assisted, as long as he used the power, he would mobilize it, and there was no need to play.

However, a lot of forces were dispatched to investigate, but nothing was found, which made Zhao Gou a little restless, and his intuition told him that Ye Mengde had nothing to do with the embezzlement of disaster relief funds. As a result, Zhao Gou increased manpower surveillance, and even all the officials in the entire household department were staring at it to death, for fear of missing any clues.

After Steward Wang's order, Zhao Gou realized that he had overlooked too many things, including the affairs that Ye Mengde handled in the household department, and the whereabouts of the night. In the end, people were sent to watch the surroundings day and night, and finally half a month after such days did they find a trace.

Steward Wang hurriedly reported and said, "Young master, there is news from the Ye Mansion!" ”

"Come on!" Zhao Gou hurriedly asked.

At night, they heard a carrier pigeon coming out of Yefu, and they were not sure, and they didn't know if it was correct. After several days of watching, it was finally determined that it was a carrier pigeon, and I came to report it to the young master! ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered, thinking: "Carrier pigeon? Releasing carrier pigeons late at night, presumably to contact someone! ”

Then, Zhao Gou asked if he had caught the carrier pigeon, and Steward Wang shook his head helplessly, saying that the carrier pigeon did not know where to fly from, and did not know where to fly, in the dead of night, it was dark and difficult to distinguish, so he could only let it fly away.

Zhao Gou felt a little lost when he heard this, and finally waited for such an opportunity, but he missed it in vain. However, he firmly believed that Ye Mengde actually acted, so there must be more flaws in the following time, and he gathered all the people around Ye Mansion again, especially sending a few people with vigorous skills to keep an eye on it, and be sure to track down the whereabouts of the carrier pigeons.

After unremitting efforts, they finally found out where the carrier pigeon flew, and it was still the dilapidated mansion before, which made Zhao Gou very surprised. Before, he sent people to track down the owner of the mansion, and he also sent people to search and found nothing, but for some reason there was movement this time.

So, Zhao Gou quickly cut through the mess, and he didn't want to continue to go around the corner, so he directly sent someone to block the mansion, and then led people to search it openly. Of course, this is done at night, and if you go to search so blatantly during the day, it will inevitably cause a lot of noise, so that it will startle the snake and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhao Gou personally led everyone forward, ready to take them by surprise. Sure enough, Zhao Gou ordered people to surround the mansion, slammed open the courtyard door, and swaggered in. happened to have someone in the house, and Zhao Gou ordered someone to arrest him.

The guards stepped forward one after another to arrest him, but no one caught him, and in the end, it was Steward Wang and others who made a move to capture him. Before he was captured, the man knew that he could not escape, and drove all the carrier pigeons away, leaving no trace.

When Li Shiren saw this person, he exclaimed, "Why are you?" ”

Zhao Gou was surprised: "Do you know this person?" ”

"I don't know!" Li Shiren shook his head and explained, "Does the young master still remember that there are two people in the household department who are suspicious? And he is one of them, I always thought that he disappeared without a trace, even if we traced him, we couldn't see his trace, I don't want him to be in the capital, still under our noses, it's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! ”

"Take this man away and keep it under strict guard!"

Zhao Gou learned that this person was one of the two who disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel very good, and immediately ordered someone to escort him down, strictly guarded, and ensure his safety.
