At night, a drum sounded on the upper floor, in the inner house of the Shilang Mansion.

The window lattice opened silently, and two figures wearing night clothes and black scarves covered with only their eyes outside, floated out, jumped on the wall and flashed a few times, and soon disappeared into the night.

In the mansion of Song Ting, the official department, the huge front and back yards were all pitch black, and only in the study of the inner house, there were still flickering lights.

After another moment, the old man put down the pen in his hand, and was about to get up and blow out the candle in the lampshade, and leave the study to find the concubine to sleep.

But at this moment, there was a creak, and the hidden door was opened.

"Put it there, and you're ready to go."

Listening to the sound of gentle footsteps, he thought it was the maid who brought the soup, and he opened his mouth to command, but the other party did not respond at all.

Song Ting, who felt that something was not quite right, turned his head and looked at the outer hall, it was okay not to look at it, but after seeing the person clearly, his face suddenly changed greatly.

This is actually a man and a woman with two black-clothed people with sharp knives in their hands, seeing their black scarves covering their faces and showing fierce eyes, they don't need to ask to know that they are robbers who rob homes and houses.

When Song Ting turned around, the two also glanced at him and opened his mouth to call for help;

Among them, the slender and slightly taller man quickly closed the door, and the woman, who was very skilled in martial arts, floated up in the blink of an eye, and waved a short dagger against his throat.

"Don't move the old dog, move your aunt and grandmother to make your head fall to the ground!"

This is a cold and flattering woman's voice, under the candlelight, you can see her white jade palms, and the eyes that charm all beings.

"The two heroes spare their lives, just mention any requirements, and the old man will definitely try his best to meet ......"

These two men and women who looked like robbers could come to the inner house guarded by guards silently, and Song Ting knew that even if he shouted loudly, it would be useless, but would provoke the other party.

As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials, although he is not as good as Shangshu Ge Hongqin, who is also the Department of Literature and Anthology, he has the authority to assess officials, but he is also a real fat difference;

Don't look at him usually in front of people and above the court, he is very stylish, but when his life is threatened, he is so unbearable.

"Don't talk nonsense, what about the hundreds of thousands of gold, silver and jewelry you got from selling your official title and accepting bribes?"

The Ministry of Officials, like the other five departments, except for the Shangshu with the greatest real power, the remaining squires are in different positions and cannot help but have the same status.

is like Song Ting in front of him, like Liu Huayun, he is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but he is also a meritorious officer, just like the real power of the Organization Department of the Central Committee in his previous life;

But he is an audit department, responsible for the succession, naturalization, reinstatement of names, etc., isn't he a household registration clerk?

This is still a vacancy after the former Jixun Division is old, and he resigned and went into hiding, although Liu Huayun's Jixun Division is only in name, and the specific trivial matters can be done by the following Lang Zhong and others;

But if this son was not personally arranged by Emperor He Yu, he would definitely have been Ge Hongqin, Song Ting and others to find a way to put their cronies on the throne, which shows that the six departments of Dafeng are indeed more powerful than Jiuqing such as Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple.

Therefore, ignoring Song Ting, whose eyes flickered and his body trembled slightly, Liu Huayun, who knew that there must be a large amount of stolen silver hidden in his home, stepped forward, grabbed his neck and asked him.

"The two heroes are graceful, old and honest, and have never done anything to sell officials;

Over the years, there has been a surplus of less than a thousand taels of silver in my family, and if you are not too little, I can offer it with both hands......"

In order to hide his identity, Liu Huayun deliberately made his voice hoarse, coupled with his cold eyes exposed, he really looked like a Jiangyang thief who killed people without blinking;

At first glance, Song Ting, who heard him open his mouth so loudly and saw sweat on his forehead, was willing to admit that he was a corrupt official, and hurriedly explained in a righteous and solemn manner.

"Dare to quibble, we have thoroughly grasped the evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law, and if we don't tell the whereabouts of the stolen money, we will not blame someone for being ruthless!"

Hehe sneered, and at the same time that the blade in the little demon girl's hand was pressed against her throat again, Liu Huayun, who let go of Song Ting, fell his gaze on the desk.

The purpose of Liu Huayun and Liu Ruoping's trip is not really to be a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, and the words of killing people and overselling goods are just to scare and scare Song Ting;

The most important thing is to find evidence of his corruption and perversion of the law, and then find out the other people along the way, and then threaten them one by one, so that they can obediently take out the money and complete the old man's errand.

Therefore, Liu Huayun began to search for evidence in the study.

When I walked to the table, I saw a small poem on it that had not dried in ink, so I picked it up and looked at it carefully, but I saw Shangshu, "I was born in poverty and my ambition is not short, and the cold window is ten years into Jinluan; There is always a breeze in my heart, and it is in vain to be an official who is not honest! ”

I'm going, won't it really be an oolong, could it be that this Song Ting is actually a clean official, and this matter is troublesome...... Wait, how can there be a clean official who has always talked about honesty, the more this proves his weakness.

Liu Huayun never thought that he could find evidence such as account books and letters casually;

It's just that after he put down the rice paper, he casually opened some of the calligraphy and paintings in the rolls, and they were all poems written by this old guy to show that he was determined to be a Qing official.

Looking at words and phrases such as, he is so righteous and awe-inspiring, and his sleeves are not leisurely, the corners of Liu Huayun's mouth under the black veil gradually flashed a smile, it seems that he really found the right person tonight.

"Two heroes, the old man really didn't lie, I was born in a poor peasant family since I was a child, and after the title of the gold list was handpicked by the emperor, I was determined to be a clean official.

The two heroes have heard some rumors, and the old man is willing to give all the money he has saved over the years, all with both hands, just ask you to distinguish between right and wrong......"

Seeing Liu Huayun walking towards the desk, less than three steps away from the wooden frame behind him, the old guy's pupils shrank, and he couldn't even care about the stinging pain in his neck;

Fortunately, seeing that he was going to check his pen and ink, Song Ting, who was a little at ease, hurriedly explained.

Liu Huayun laughed at this familiar remark, and he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Oh, you are the son of a farmer, so when you made a lot of black money, why didn't you think that you were the son of a farmer! I'm not going to carry this pot of peasant uncles! ”

Poof~~, the little demon girl was immediately amused by Liu Huayun's inexplicable words, and Song Ting, who was pressed against her throat, had a blank look in her eyes.

Let's say, ignoring Song Ting, who had a short circuit in his brain, Liu Huayun walked towards that, he had been deliberately avoiding, putting wooden shelves such as books and bottles and cans.

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and since this old guy has been refusing to look here, it means that he is afraid that he will find something abnormal.

Watching Liu Huayun repeatedly searching on the wooden frame, Song Ting, who came back to taste, pretended to be an ancient well without waves on the surface, but in fact, he was already very anxious in his heart.

Because soon, with a muffled creaking sound, the mechanism hidden in a porcelain vase was directly triggered by him;

Being able to find the secret room mechanism so quickly was completely caused by Song Ting's cleverness and being mistaken by cleverness, in addition, what kind of person is Liu Huayun, that is the 21st century elite who has read countless films.

Like what is the most dangerous place, it is the safest, the hidden compartment is hidden behind the bookshelf, and the porcelain bottle can be opened by turning the porcelain bottle, etc., it is simply impossible to be bloody;

How could he not try it according to the gourd painting scoop, and this old thief should be unlucky, in the past, Dafeng did not have a brocade guard like the East and West Factory, and the gold and silver greedy for ink were placed at home, and it was extremely safe.

"Hmph~~~, old dog, you continue to pretend to be honest, you have already said that you have mastered the evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law!"

Turning his head and glancing at the pale-faced Song Ting, a cold snort came out of his nose, and Liu Huayun walked towards the dark grid.
