"Hey, does General Wu know them?" Xue Shao asked deliberately.

"Oh no, no, I don't know!" Wu Yizong smiled dryly, "I just think it's a little familiar." Maybe it's because they look a little like my concubines. But I'm sure I've never seen them before! ”

"Really?" Xue Shao smiled slightly.

"Hmm!" Wu Yizong nodded seriously, but he was beating a drum in his heart, what does he mean by this yin and yang weirdness?

"Please use tea." Xue Shao remained silent and picked up the teacup.

Wu Yizong, full of suspicion and apprehension, also picked up the tea.

"By the way, I went to Suizhou a few days ago." Xue Shao said casually.

"Poof—"

Wu Yizong squirted out a sip of tea again, "You, have you been to Suizhou?" How I didn't know! ”

"The official traveled in a micro-service, and he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't alarm the government." Xue Shao smiled faintly, as if he said casually.

Wu Yizong's heart was beating a drum vigorously, those two sluts couldn't have been caught by Xue Shao, right? Could Xu Changqing have betrayed me?

Thinking of this, Wu Yizong suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and cold sweat flowed from the back of his neck, thinking that it was very likely that Xue Shao had been secretly investigating me a long time ago, and had some conclusive evidence! …… As soon as those boxes were opened, the truth was revealed!

…… This time it's miserable!

The box is definitely not coming back, and you have to find a way to get rid of the crime and save yourself!!

Xue Shao looked at Wu Yizong with a smile on his face, seeing that he was full of nervousness and nervousness, he knew that his hand "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" had played a great role!

"General Wu, in fact, if you don't come, I'm about to look for you." Xue Shao said suddenly.

"Huh?" Wu Yizong was stunned for a moment, and forced himself to calm down, "Xue Dudu is looking for me, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right." Xue Shao put down the teacup and said in a businesslike tone, "I was in Suizhou before, and someone complained to me. It is said that some people in Suizhou are bewitching the people in the name of Buddhism and want to do the old things of Bai Tieyu. I am preparing to investigate the matter. And General Wu happened to be the emperor's messenger who specialized in Bai Tieyu's case, and he had been in Suizhou for a long time. I don't know if you have any clues about this? ”

"Is that so?" Wu Yizong blinked, and then slapped the case angrily, "Who is so bold that he dares to follow Bai Tieyu's rebellion?" Ben will come by order of the emperor to supervise the remnants of the white bandits! Xue Dudu, you might as well handle this case by Ben General, Ben will definitely find out about it, so that not a thief can go unpunished! ”

"That's what I mean." Xue Shao nodded with a smile and said, "The informant said that the person secretly harbored a big golden Buddha. It was that one, Bai Tieyu buried it in the ground and then dug it out by himself, using it to advocate that he had a great golden Buddha with a mandate of heaven! ”

Wu Yizong was stunned suddenly, damn it, he was accidentally wound in! - Xue Shao, this bastard, is talking about me! He must have found the big golden Buddha hidden inside the box!

"General Wu, what's wrong with you?" Xue Shao made a gesture of concern and asked, "Your face is not very good, could it be that you are sick?" ”

"Oh, it's okay!" Wu Yizong hurriedly waved his sleeves and wiped a few handfuls of cold sweat, and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm a little tired from horseback riding, it's okay!" ”

"Then we'll continue to talk about official business." Xue Shao nodded with a smile and continued, "At the beginning, I was ordered to go out to quell the Bai Tieyu Rebellion, and personally received the Great Golden Buddha that violated the prohibition into the official treasury of Suizhou, and strictly supervised it in case the imperial court could collect it. Unexpectedly, some thieves had the audacity to steal the golden Buddha again, and planned to follow Bai Tieyu's call to borrow the golden Buddha with the intention of rebellion. General Wu, this is a big brown case, we must investigate it thoroughly! ”

"Yes, yes, it's a big case!" Wu Yizong was dripping with cold sweat as he spoke, "It must be thoroughly investigated!" Check it out! ”

"The resurgence of white bandits against the party is a great disaster for the country." Xue Shao sneered in his heart, arched his hand in the direction of the imperial capital decently, and said, "I have a table and am ready to go to the imperial court to declare this matter." ”

"Huh?" Wu Yizong was shocked when he heard this, and thought in his heart: Embezzling the Golden Buddha itself is just corruption, even if there is a queen mother on it, it is a big deal to be scolded and punished at most to degrade the official. But if I am charged with a big crime of "rebellion", then even the Queen Mother can't protect me!

"Xue Dudu is slow!" Wu Yizong hurriedly stood up and said, "You are the official of the feudal territory, I am the special envoy, you and I should both share the worries of the emperor on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol Pastor." There is no need to rush to the court for such a trivial matter, right? It's better for you and me to work together to solve the case first, arrest the thief and find the Golden Buddha again, and then report to the court! ”

"It makes sense." Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "General Wu is really a minister of the society, he is thoughtful!" ”

"It should be, it should be!" Wu Yizong laughed vigorously and hugged Xue Shao, "In this case, I will go back to Suizhou to investigate the case first!" ”

"Not in a hurry." Xue Shao said, "I still have important clues here, don't you want to hear it?" ”

Wu Yizong was eager to leave the ominous place of the Governor's Mansion immediately, but when he heard Xue Shao's words, he nailed it again, and asked cautiously, "What clues?" ”

Xue Shaozheng said: "I also found out that Bai Tieyu's 500,000 stone military rations that he had hoarded in Suizhou were gone. If there are thieves who want to rebel, military rations are indispensable. Therefore, I suspect that this batch of military rations was secretly transferred and hoarded by them in preparation for recruiting troops and horses to rebel. Such a large batch of grain and grass is not very easy to collect. General Wu returned to Suizhou, so he might as well go to investigate the missing grain and grass first. As long as the grain and grass are retrieved and then used to touch the melons, it should not be difficult to catch the real murderer! ”

When Wu Yizong heard this, he was dumbfounded again!

He thought to himself, it seems that Xue Shao really has a lot of evidence in his hands, and he even knows everything about my stall selling grain and grass...... How do you end up now? If you can't find the grain and grass, Xue Shao will definitely press forward step by step, and sue the court as a "rebellion case", and then I will really die!

- But I have to get back the 500,000 stone of grain and grass, unless I buy them back!

How can I have so much money?

Didn't you rob all those 30 carts of treasure?!

Wu Yizong was shocked, frightened and angry, gritted his teeth and did not dare to attack, his expression was as ever-changing and funny as if he had just swallowed a live mouse.

Xue Shao almost couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still said with a straight face: "This is a big case, and it is also a great merit." General Wu returned to Suizhou and only supervised it with all his might, and if there was a place where I Xue was useful, just open my mouth, and I and the 100,000 troops under my command would do our best to help. As long as the case is over, when General Wu returns to the dynasty to receive a reward, don't forget about Xue! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Share the blessings and difficulties! Wu Yizong hated so much that his bones itched and he was still laughing dryly, and scolded in his heart: Good you Xue Shao, you are so black-hearted and vicious! You swallowed my treasure and robbed me of my Golden Buddha, and you threatened me to sue me for rebellion, and used this as an excuse to force me to hand over 500,000 stones, grain and grass -- isn't this forcing me to choose between "ruining my reputation" and "ruining my family"?!

- I swear to you!!

"When the new official takes office, there is such a shocking case under his rule, and the official will definitely personally supervise and investigate it to the end!" Xue Shao was filled with righteous indignation and said loudly: "General Wu, I hope we can work together and cooperate sincerely, investigate this case as soon as possible, and live up to the trust of the imperial court to ensure the safety of one party!" ”

"Okay, okay." Wu Yizong's heart was in turmoil, and he muttered promises.

After chatting for a while, Wu Yizong hurriedly left.

Xue Shaogao sat on the top of the hall, stroking the teacup and smiling.

Xue Chuyu walked in and said, "Childe, let's just let Wu Yizong go?" Why not expose his crimes and report them to the government and the opposition, so that he can be punished for capital crimes? ”

"It can't be cured." Xue Shao said, "Wu Yizong is not Tang Huaibi, the crimes he committed in Suizhou are certainly hateful and hateful, but even if the imperial court asks the Imperial History Observatory to file a case and investigate the facts, it will not cure him of a capital crime in the end." ”

"It seems that there is a possibility...... Xue Chuyu nodded helplessly and unwillingly, "He is a third-grade noble, and he has the support of the Queen Mother...... I'm surprised, the Queen Mother has always had the ability to know people and appoint people on the basis of merit, why would she favor a treacherous villain like Wu Yizong? ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Now, the sons and nephews of the martial arts family are like the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue and limbs of a person to the Queen Mother. How can you give up just because you don't look good? ”

"Makes sense!" Xue Chuyu suddenly realized, yes, yes, since the death of the first emperor, the queen mother has been trying her best to promote and reuse her martial arts family's sons and nephews. It doesn't matter how moral these people are, the important thing is that they are loyal to the Queen Mother like a watchdog!

"Therefore, the damned Wu Yizong must not die on our territory, and he will definitely not be sentenced to death by the imperial court." Xue Shao said, "Since we can't kill him at the moment, it's better to rectify him well, let him suffer a dumb loss, and at the same time we can get some real benefits!" ”

Xue Chuyu smiled, "Fortunately, I stopped the brothers at that time, otherwise they would have slaughtered Wu Yizong in a moment of impatience, which would be really a big trouble!" ”

"You're doing the right thing." Xue Shao nodded approvingly, "Wu Yizong should be killed, but a person like him must not be recklessly killed in ordinary ways, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Putting our own people in for the sake of a scum like him is definitely not worth the loss. ”

"I remember!"

Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "Go and call Guo An, they have work to do again!" ”

Later, Guo An and his party of twelve scouts rushed to Suizhou to secretly monitor Wu Yizong's every move.

Afterwards, Xue Shao called Shi Xu Changqing, the governor of Suizhou, to him and said to him: "I have already knocked on Wu Yizong, he should know that I have the evidence of his corruption and crime. Now I let him go back to Suizhou and gave him a chance to make amends. Now I will also let you go back to Suizhou, and order you to coordinate and supervise Wu Yizong to do the rest of the things. ”

"Huh?" Xu Changqing was dumbfounded, "Xue Dudu, so Wu Yizong already knows that I have recruited the arch?" ”

"Of course."

"Then he'll kill me!" Xu Changqing trembled, "I beg the governor for mercy, the lower officials can't go back to Suizhou, otherwise they will definitely die in the hands of Wu Yizong!" ”

"Don't worry, Wu Yizong can only desperately make up for his mistakes when he goes back on this trip, and he doesn't dare to have any more mistakes or illegal acts." Xue Shao smiled, "He knows that you have surrendered to me, if you return to Suizhou, he will naturally understand that I sent you back to do business." He won't take the initiative to expose the facts, so you can just treat it as if nothing happened, just work with him with peace of mind. On the contrary, if you don't return to Suizhou, he will definitely hate you to the bone, and sooner or later he will have to think about revenge. That's the real end-of-the-road! ”

Xu Changqing suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed down to Xue Shao, "Thank you for your mercy!" In the future, the life of the next official will be Xue Dudu's! ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Go back, do a good job and make up for it!" ”
