"Lord Xiao, if Tang Xiu really dies in prison, let's ......"

On the way to the deepest cell, Wang Yanhe asked Xiao Tong softly.

Since Pei Youdao dared to say this matter in front of them, it means that Tang Xiu Shiyou** has suffered a catastrophe, and this matter is clearly Pei Youdao's handiwork, and they are now in the past, at most, they just saw a corpse that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

The only problem they have to face now is, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, whether to find out Pei Youdao and bear the blame or open the net and push all the problems onto a dead man?

The manor area in the east of the city is not an ordinary place, being able to live there is a symbol of power in itself, try to see all the owners in it, except for Tang Xiu, who lived in the end, which one is not a wealthy family in Taiyuan City? Coupled with the close connection between them and the city guards from the time they were first built, if it weren't for them clearly violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even Xiao Tong, the Yin of Taiyuan Mansion, would not dare to offend them easily, let alone let them die in their own cells.

Therefore, Wang Yanhe, who knows the stakes and harms, will have this question.

If Tang Xiu himself is guilty, he will die if he dies, it can be said that he committed suicide in fear of sin, so that he can not only get rid of trouble, but also sell Pei Youdao a favor, and then they will also have a good impression of Cui Jing, the servant of the ministry, which will be extremely beneficial to their future career.

If Tang Xiu was not guilty, Pei Youdao would have confessed his guilt and surrendered to the law, but he and Xiao Tong would inevitably be reprimanded by those owners and city guards in the east of the city, after all, people were killed in the prison under their jurisdiction, and just one dereliction of duty was enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention the servants who were offended because of Pei Youdao.

As far as Wang Yan and himself are concerned, it is natural to 'take the weight of the two benefits, and choose the lesser of the two evils', and it is obviously more cost-effective to put all the blame on the dead people, whether it is for themselves or the city guards and Cui Jing.

The only thing Wang Yanhe is worried about now is whether Xiao Tong will be rash and unwilling to let go of the resentment against Pei Youdao in his heart.

Xiao Tong is the Yin of the house, if he thinks that he wants to bring down the Pei family and strictly govern Pei Youdao's crimes, he will fight for the future and not have to come out of this evil breath, Wang Yanhe, as a young Yin, will not be able to stop him even if he has the heart.

Murder is a capital crime, if Xiao Tong wants to be investigated, Pei Youdao will inevitably die, so they can be regarded as offending Cui Jing completely, although Wang Yanhe has some background behind him, but will they be willing to suffer for a young Yin and a servant of the ministry? Wang Yanhe had no bottom in his heart.

"If Tang Xiu is not dead, then everything is easy to say, this mansion must first arrest Pei Youdao and bring him to justice, and beat him dozens of boards to vent his evil anger!"

Xiao Tong's face was ugly, he knew that he was just a fluke, since Pei Youdao said it in public, then Tang Xiu almost had no chance of survival, but he just let Pei Youdao go in vain, he was really unwilling!

"Then," Seeing that Xiao Tong didn't say another possibility for a long time, Wang Yanhe couldn't help but ask softly, "What if Tang Xiu is indeed dead?" I wonder what Lord Xiao is going to do? ”

"It's the same to hit dozens of boards first." Xiao Tong's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and said hatefully: "Beat that old man to death and throw him out of the mansion directly, and then spread the news of Tang Xiu's suicide in fear of crime, this case will be considered over!" ”

Xiao Tong wanted to be angry, and it was sincere that he wanted to ruin Pei Youdao and destroy the Pei family, but he was not stupid enough to cut off his current official position in order to take a breath.

Cui Jing's servant Xiao Tong was not very taboo, and offended him, at most, he was made to be mixed in the future performance evaluation, and it was not good to move forward. In fact, after this promotion opportunity was yellow, Xiao Tong himself knew that he might not have the possibility of promotion in the future, so naturally he would not care too much about the threat of a servant of the ministry.

But when Tang Xiu died, it was different.

A little Tang Xiu is nothing, if he dies, he will die, and no one will really take him to heart, but the problem reflected behind his death is the most fatal.

Those powerful and rich men are the most desperate for their lives, and the bottom of their butts will not be too clean, if one day they commit a crime and are locked up, who can guarantee their safety in prison? If they can't give them a reasonable explanation, without the support of these local scholars, Xiao Tong's Taiyuan Mansion Yin will not be able to do it for long.

The anger can come out at any time, but if the official is gone, he will never come back.

As long as he, Xiao Tong, is still sitting in the position of Taiyuan Mansion Yin, and wants to clean up Pei Youdao, it is not a matter of moving his thoughts, and there is no need to rush at this time.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?" After speaking, Xiao Tong turned his head to Wang Yanhe again, it seems that it is most taboo for someone to leak secrets about such illegal things, if Wang Yanhe can't be pulled into the water, Xiao Tong really can't rest assured.

Understanding what Xiao Tong meant, Wang Yanhe echoed respectfully: "The lower officials also think so!" After a while, Pei Lao'er's board will be personally shot by the lower officials, and it will not make him feel better! As for these errand servants in the cell, the subordinate officials will also strictly restrain them, and they will not let them leak out the slightest hint of their mouth! ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction, and between the words, they seemed to have determined Tang Xiu's life and death, and the steps under their feet became slow.

The scale of the prison in Taiyuan Mansion is very large, the middle aisle alone is nearly 100 meters long, plus there are some curves in it, Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe walked for almost five minutes before walking to the door of Tang Xiu's cell.

I first looked inside through the gap in the cell door, but found that it was empty, and there was nothing but a pile of thatch, and Tang Xiu was nowhere to be found.

What about people?

Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe's views have changed, even if a person is dead, if there is not even a corpse, then the problem is even greater!

"What are you still doing? Why don't you open the door soon?! ”

Xiao Tong yelled angrily at the cell head behind him, so frightened that the cell head trembled, and the keychain in his hand did not fall to the ground.

After some busyness, the iron door of the cell was opened, and the cell leader did not dare to go first, but stood at the door, and asked Xiao Tong and Wang Yan and the two adults to walk in first.

"Huh?!"

Entering the prison door and looking around, Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe were all frightened, they saw that the person they thought was dead in their hearts was now sitting intact in the corner of the wall and looking at them with a smile.

"Lord Xiao, Lord Wang, don't come unharmed?!"

Seeing the two people who walked into the cell, Tang Xiu sat on the ground, smiled sweetly and raised his hand to greet them, as if he didn't notice the two of them being frightened by him.
