The horses' hooves were like thunder, and a team of elite Jinyi official schools entered from the east of Jizhou, and rushed straight to the front of the Jinyi Wei Baihu.

The captain guarding the door recognized that this was the elite official academy under the command of General Fusi Qin of Beizhen, and when he saw them menacing, he greeted them with a smile: "Brothers, who are you?" ”

The face of the Beisi Official Academy was as solemn as an iron plate, and the answer to them was dozens of embroidered spring knives out of their sheaths, and the sword light was better than snow!

Oh my god! The Jinyi captain of the Jizhou Baihu Institute sat on the ground in fright, not knowing what was going on: "Brothers from the North Division, this is probably a misunderstanding, right?" ”

Niu vigorously rode a tall horse, escorted a carriage from afar, and shouted: "Under the orders of General Qin, the commander of Jinyiwei and the head of the Beizhen Fusi, Chen Huanzhang of the hundred households in Jizhou will be taken down for investigation, and the rest of the official schools will be investigated. ”

At this time, many official schools in Jizhou also poured out, and they all stared at each other, and they didn't know why for a while.

Lu Yuanzhi opened the curtain of the carriage from outside with a smile, Qin Lin was wearing a wingless black veil and a bright yellow flying fish suit, and his eyelids were not pinched by these people in Jizhou, and he asked coldly: "What's the matter, the official schools of Jizhou Institute have to follow Chen Huanzhang to rebel and rebel?" ”

"Duh!" Niu Dali pointed and shouted, "Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy, General Zhaoyong, Beizhen Fusi palm seal, and ordered to mention the edict Lord Qin here, why don't you hurry up and see it?" ”

When dozens of officials from Jizhou saw Qin Lin, they were all scattered, and they were called back by this shout, and immediately threw their weapons on the ground, and knelt down with a large piece of brush: "Subordinates see General Qin!" ”

Qin Lin was expressionless, and walked into the yamen of the hundred households with a few pro-soldier captains.

Above the second hall, Chen Huanzhang, who was still triumphant just now, has become pale, and he also has a few henchmen under his hands, but they are all kneeling on the ground with the official schools, and they are just captains and small flags, and they don't even dare to take a breath in front of the palm print of Beizhen Fusi!

Only then did Chen Huanzhang understand that his little trick was used in front of Qin Lin, and he was really playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and he didn't even have a chance.

He knelt at Qin Lin's feet with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "The little one is guilty, the little one is guilty and begs Chief Qin to spare his life!" ”

"Another fool who thinks he's smart!" Qin Lin looked at Chen Huanzhang coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's all, it's all done by Zhou Yude to force the villain, the little one is really forced to do it, I just ask the chief to spare his life!" Chen Huanzhang knocked his head down with a series of rings, and banged his head at Qin Lin's feet.

"Forced you to do it?" Qin Lin raised his eyebrows and sneered: "He is just a lieutenant who can force you, a hundred households in six brocade clothes, to do things?" The official can not want your life, but you must give the official a reasonable explanation! ”

Chen Huanzhang burst into tears, dragging his cry and said: "Sir, you don't know, Zhou Yude is not a person, but he has the tokens in the palace in his hand, humming the palace, they smell the incense door is, is ......"

Qin Lin remembered that he had heard Wang Xiangqian say that there was a connection between Wenxiangmen and the palace, and he heard Chen Huanzhang talk about it, so he couldn't help but feel moved, and asked sharply: "It's not true, how can this official believe you?" You are a member of the Jinyi Guard, and you also know that there are eighteen sets of criminal laws in the Imperial Prison, and the number is eighteen layers of hell, do you want to try it? ”

Chen Huanzhang was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "The little ones have said it, and the small ones have said it all." The owner of the Wenxiang Gate is called Wang Sen, the brother of the current queen Wang Niangniang, and they are also in contact with several princes and uncles in the palace forbidden capital, so Zhou Yude came to find the little one with the palace forbidden things, and the small one didn't dare not agree, so he had to tell him your itinerary, sir......"

Qin Lin had long known about Wenxiangmen, and this time the matter of Zhoujiazhuang was even more strange, and he suddenly heard that it was also related to the current queen Wang Niangniang, and his heart was sudden.

Qin Lin has never dealt with Wang Niangniang, only knows that her real name is Sister Wang Xi, originally from Zhejiang, but her ancestors moved to the north, she was born in Beijing, and was canonized as the queen in the sixth year of Wanli, it has been two or three years ago, and her position in the palace has gradually stabilized, and she is scheming, and she can please the Empress Dowager Li.

The queen of the dignified middle palace is the mother of the world, high above, and lives in the deep palace, how can she have anything to do with the Yimu sect?

Although Chen Huanzhang's words are not untrue, for example, he is afraid that he is not only forced to be helpless, but he also has the idea of befriending Zhonggui and climbing up, but the premise that Wenxiangmen has a connection with the palace is probably not empty, otherwise Chen Huanzhang will not eat inside and out, and risk offending Jinyi Wei Shangguan to hook up with others. ,

After thinking about it, Qin Lin asked, "What is the so-called forbidden thing in the palace?" Have you recognized it clearly? ”

Chen Huanzhang thought about it and described it in detail: "It is an idle chapter, with a phoenix pattern carved on the side, delicate and delicate, it is definitely a thing in the palace, and it is something that only the queen of the main palace can have!" If the little ones don't recognize it clearly, they won't dare, they won't dare to ......."

"Don't dare to eat inside and out, don't dare to betray Shangguan, right?" Qin Lin's voice was as cold as iceberg snow water.

Chen Huanzhang was so frightened that his soul flew away, kowtowed, and shouted in a stack: "The chief spares his life, the chief raises his noble hand!" ”

Qin Lin sneered and instructed Lu Yuanzhi: "Arrange a team of brothers to return to Beijing first, and put this guy in prison, so that he can be entertained!" ”

Chen Huanzhang's heart was so frightened that his eyes came out of his throat, and he pleaded with a handful of snot and tears: "Sir, sir!" You promised to spare your little life! ”

"I promise not to kill you" The corners of Qin Lin's mouth twitched, and there was ridicule in his voice: "So this official only puts you in prison until you die, look, this official is true to his words, right?" ”

Chen Huanzhang was suddenly paralyzed like mud, and was dragged out by the Beisi Official Academy like a dead dog, and what was waiting for him was a dark prison.

"Let's go, let's go find Zhou Yude" Qin Lin patted the fat man's arm, his face was a little unsightly: "If it's not wrong, he may no longer be alive." ”

Yes? Lu Yuanzhi's mouth opened wide.

Sure enough, as Qin Lin expected, when he saw Zhou Yude again, he was already a corpse that was gradually getting colder.

The prisoner committed suicide, Qin Cup brought the Beizhen Fusi Official School to clean up the ghosts, Qi Jin led a group of border troops to take care of the criminals, these border troops fought fiercely, but the prisoners lacked experience, and Zhou Yude took advantage of the opportunity to relieve himself, found the pill from the shoe and swallowed it, and immediately whined and mourned.

"Actually, this guy is really a bit treacherous, if he hadn't underestimated his official and made a fatal mistake, maybe he would still be able to get away with it now!" Qin Lin sighed and rolled Zhou Yude's eyelids, the severely congested conjunctiva proved that he had indeed died of arsenic compound poisoning, the kind of thing commonly known as arsenic * frost, which killed him.

In addition to the mistake of underestimating Qin Lin at the beginning, Zhou Yude has done his best in other aspects, after the case was exposed, he passed the buck and denied layer by layer, one lie was set on another lie, and Qin Lin's attention was diverted by fiction and reality, and finally committed suicide calmly, cutting off the clues to continue to dig deep and investigate at the cost of his life, and he cannot but be said to be a powerful person.

Qin Lin searched on him, but he didn't find the idle seal that belonged to the forbidden thing in the palace.

Lu Yuanzhi said, "It's a pity that he provoked Brother Qin, so he was forced to commit suicide, and there is no other way!" ”

"Okay, you don't need to comfort me" Qin Lin patted Lu Yuanzhi on the shoulder: "The matter involves the palace, we must be cautious, we can't go directly to the door to check the incense door for the time being, let alone ask the queen Wang." However, analyzing the various signs, I also have a clue to the new well."

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Wang Xiangqian had walked into the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households, so Qin Lin stopped talking.

Lu Yuanzhi was indignant: "That idle medal, let's go and raid Zhou Yude's house, maybe we will find it!" ”

"I can't find it" Qin Lin smiled slightly, and said, "But Wang Zhizhou should really want to raid Zhou Yude's house, let's give him this mission." ”

Wang Xiangqian happened to approach, laughed when he heard the words, and saluted Qin Lin: "Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Chief Qin really has the talent of Zhou Lang!" Qin Lin returned the salute: "Now the people don't have to pay the rent of Wenxiangmen first, and they have to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and even the official reputation of Wang Zhizhou will be better!" ”

Wang Xiangqian came for this reason, he went back and thought about it, the people put the land to Wenxiangmen, mí believe in ghosts and gods but only three points, the other seven points are to protect the door, pay less or even no court taxes, so even if you have to pay rent to Wenxiangmen, one in and one out is not a loss.

Yes, Zhou Yude is dead, and the land that the people of Jizhou were deceived into surrendering can be taken back, but after the autumn harvest, the land rent has been handed over to Wenxiangmen, and now the state officials are coming to urge the tax again, and they are afraid that it will not be easy for them to pass this winter. ,

Although it was found out that Zhou Lao Hanye was not forced to commit suicide due to taxes, Wang Xiangqian was also a little afraid, thinking about it, he secretly regretted it, and then he thought of a good idea: Zhou Yude is the elder brother of the altar who helped Wenxiangmen to loot the people in Jizhou, he definitely has enough oil and water in his house, according to reason, he committed a big crime, and he can raid the house if he finds a hat to carry it, and these properties can not offset the people's taxes?

But when he came, Wang Xiangqian thought, Jin Yiwei didn't rush to do this kind of oil and water clip thing, can it be the turn of the state government? Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Qin Lin agreed first, and the gratitude in his heart was really indescribable.

"General Qin, I don't know each other, you are willing to help Xia Guan so much, Xia Guan really feels guilty!" Wang Xiangqian said with great admiration.

"It's true that I don't know each other, but this official and Ling Zun have had a relationship" Qin Lin smiled, and there was a scene in his memory of Huguang Governor Wang Zhiyuan in front of Zhang Zixuan and her two brothers" "Huguang Governor Prince, it was on the Yangtze River two years ago, on the boat of the two sons of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Wang Xiangqian suddenly realized, and then blushed for a long time, very embarrassed.

Qin Lin patted Wang Xiangqian's shoulder: "You are a good official, but sometimes you are a little anxious, for the people, you are the parents of this side, in fact, as long as you have patience to get things to the bottom of the matter, they will stand on your side, there are fools and fools, but there are never foolish people!" ”

"Xiaguan" Wang Xiangqian shook it to the ground: "Be taught." ”
