As soon as Zhou Wudao stood up, before he could say his farewell, he heard a family member hurriedly come over to report to Sun Yongcheng: "Master, a holy decree has arrived." The internal official asked the adult to prepare an incense case and quickly go over to receive the order. Zhou Wudao stood in the living room, not staying at this time, looking a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but think secretly: "The holy decree has arrived so soon, it seems that the emperor is extremely angry this time!" Fortunately, it happened under Qingzhou. ”

Sun Yongcheng saw it in his eyes, stood up and tidied up his official uniform, and said calmly: "Lord Zhou, let's go over and receive the order together." The holy decree came from the emperor's Chrysostom, and it was always a little bad to avoid it. ”

Zhou Wudao thought about it for a while, so he followed him to the front yard and knelt in front of the incense case to receive the order.

The eunuch was a little strange when he saw the two people kneeling in front of him, and only nodded slightly after the person behind him stepped forward to explain. Then he shouted, "The decree has arrived!" ”

Sun Yongcheng said: "Sincerely, St. Ann! ”

The eunuch said, "Holy bow! Then began the official proclamation: "The emperor said: I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force." The minister has a model of serving the public, and he uses Ned to repair, and the court has the grace of the lord to regard the husband and noble, and Yi Fan Mi shows Chongjiayong. Zhou Wudao, the prefect of Er'an Lu, disregarded the emperor's order, lived up to the grace of the saint, took advantage of the law and discipline to fish for personal gain, put the people in fire and water, and regarded human life as a mustard. Unexpectedly, the imperial history of Shandong Province visited here, tried to mutilate the important criminals of the imperial court, and touched Long Yan, and the crime was unforgivable. It is specially awarded the imperial history of Shandong Province Sun Yongcheng as the right imperial history, the king of tin ordered the banner, and thoroughly investigated the matter. Wang'er is well aware of the local situation, and he is a king; Smoke with the pike of Zhaolu cloth, and temporarily tin is a job. Plus Pi Ji, admiration. Edict? April 26, 24th year of Hua Jianping? Treasure"

After reading it, the eunuch continued: "Two adults, take the order! At this time, Zhou Wudao's family rushed to the post station sweating profusely, ready to tell the master to receive the order.

When Sun Yongcheng heard this, he shouted: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Then he took the decree with both hands.

When the eunuch saw Zhou Wudao, who was blind, he snorted from his nostrils: "Why didn't this lord accept the order?" Do you have an opinion on the Holy Decree, or do you have an opinion on the most of all? ”

When Zhou Wudao listened to the official announcement just now, he was already so frightened that his soul was scared, and he kept telling himself in his heart that this was not true. Now that he came back to his senses a little, he took a closer look at the black bull horn shaft and auspicious clouds of the Wupin Holy Decree, and knew that the Holy Decree was not a forgery, and after saying "Thank you, Lord Longen", he collapsed directly to the ground.

Sun Yongcheng first took advantage of the inattention of others to give the eunuch a silver ticket of two hundred taels, and the latter really left with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Wudao who was paralyzed on the ground and said: "Lord Zhou, there are gods three feet above your head, and you only fight for early and late." Let you be cunning and cunning, and you will not escape the steel knife. This official advises you to do it truthfully, so as not to suffer some flesh and skin. ”

Zhou Wudao looked like he was not at the beginning, and said hatefully: "This official has seen Lord Sun's methods!" This official was kind enough to help you get through the difficulties, but I didn't expect that my lord would take revenge on me for the attack of the bandits. It's still the same sentence: justice is in the hearts of the people, and the official doesn't believe that you can be deceived forever. ”

"Oh, is Lord Zhou still going to quibble like this? Let me tell you, Li Wei was not killed by the people you sent at all, but was hidden in Yizhuang by the official. After Li Weiwei was attacked by the bandits, he recruited all the bribes for you. The things of the past few days, hehehe...... This official advises you not to be stubborn, and think about how to deal with the emperor's thunderous anger. Sun Yongcheng changed the color of the previous decadent Tang Dynasty and said meaningfully.

Zhou Wudao's face changed drastically when he heard the news that Li Weiwei was not dead, but he still shouted: "Lord Sun, how can you listen to the imperial court to slander you?" This official is wronged! ”

Sun Yongcheng no longer listened to Zhou Wudao's quibbles, waved his hand and asked the guards to take Zhou Wudao to the official uniform and official hat to be detained, and then let some other officials seal the backyard of the government and put other related people in prison. His heart is actually quite heavy, because Zhou Wudao's usual official reputation is very good, and he has achieved the position of prefect, it is hard to believe that he has no heels behind him. This also means that if you can't handle the case into an iron case, if there is a slight mistake, you will be overturned afterwards. However, Li's only confession alone was not enough, the crucial account book was still missing, and Zhou Wudao's bribes were all handled by that Master Qian. Thinking of this, Sun Yongcheng instructed his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and rushed to the government to interrogate Master Qian in advance.

When he returned to the post station in the evening, Sun Yongcheng's face was gloomy, and he didn't see the relaxed and happy look in the morning. Things have developed in the worst direction, no matter how he threatens and scolds, or coerces and inducements, and even finally moves the punishment, Master Qian flatly denies that he has accepted bribes, let alone accepted bribes for the prefect Zhou Wudao. The officials searched the backyard of the government and did not find any large sums of gold and silver, precious calligraphy and paintings, or antiques. Zhou Wudao also quieted down after the initial noise, he knew that as long as he didn't let go, Master Qian would bite his mouth for his own life, and in the end the case still couldn't be judged. As a result, the case was stalled here, and there was no way to continue.

For several days, Sun Yongcheng stayed in the room to deduce the case, but still found nothing. At this time, a family member came to report: "Master, the governor of Shandong, the political envoy, and the procurator sent letters to inquire about the progress of the case, and asked their subordinates to come over to assist in the investigation. "Well, I see, you go down first." After waiting for the family to go down, Sun Yongcheng said in a low voice: "It's so fast!" It seems that some people are starting to impatient. ”

Xu Anping had already come to Anlu Mansion from Qingzhou Mansion seven days ago, and except for coming out in the afternoon to inquire about the news, he stayed in the room to recuperate the rest of the time. In order to prevent the news from being revealed, he has not contacted He Xiaoxiao for the time being, after all, the latter is just a secret move, it is better not to use it or not, otherwise it is easy to expose himself. After seeing that Yushi Sun Yongcheng arrested Zhou Wudao but did not try the case as soon as possible, he knew that there must be something wrong in the middle.

On the night of the sixth day of the first month of May, Xu Anping turned into the Yuelai Inn and found He Xiaoxiao. He Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed in a large-character indecent posture, rubbing her stomach and humming half-asleep, looking like she had eaten too much. Xu Anping felt very helpless, he worked hard in Qingzhou, and this living treasure was eaten too much and could not be digested. Thereupon. He coughed heavily and wanted to wake He Xiaoxiao awake, but the other party still didn't hear that there was another person in the room still humming. Xu Anping shook his head and walked to the bed, and called hard: "Miss He, it's time to eat." ”

He Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and replied in a daze: "Oh, put more meat, not vegetables." Hey, why is it still dark, so early for breakfast today? Yes! Who are you? She saw a dark figure in front of the bed, and then she remembered to hug her chest and shout loudly. This made Xu Anping wonder, what about her kung fu? Isn't it known as the Pear Blossom Rain Sword?
