Zhao Pan poured beans into the bamboo tube and told almost all the pickled things he knew. Cheng Mingjiu has been silent for a long time, which makes him nervous, he doesn't know if these secret things he has recruited are of enough weight, and whether he can survive this catastrophe.

After a long time, Cheng Mingjiu laughed.

"Master Zhao knows the current affairs, so you don't suffer in your body, get up quickly, if you can help the Hou Zhen get rid of the giant beetle, it will also be considered a merit. I won't leave you here, and I'll report to Chen Fuzun later. ”

Listening to Cheng Mingjiu's words, Zhao Panqi's cold sweat disappeared slightly, and he said thank you again and again. However, it was also Cheng Mingjiu's politeness, and after Cheng Mingjiu left, a team of soldiers immediately detained him and took him to the Yingtianfu Investigation Department.

The rude treatment of the soldiers made Zhao Pan very uncomfortable, and on weekdays, others respected him and stammered him, as if today he let a cadre of soldiers Qiu Ba scold and escort him, and he couldn't adapt to the change of identity for a while, and more than half of the apprehension in his heart turned into resentment, and he always thought that if he saw Chen Wenshan, he would always state the indifference of these people. After all, they are all literati, and there is always incense in the face of monks.

It's just that Zhao Pan thought about the beauty, but he didn't expect that Chen Wenshan was not as reasonable and polite as Cheng Mingjiu's martial artist, and he was just taken to the main hall of Yingtianfu, and he was shocked, and he drank Ling Soap Li to beat him twenty kills first.

In an instant, Zhao Pan's ass was beaten open, and he screamed in pain.

"I am an official of the imperial court, and I am famous, why did you beat me?"

Chen Wenshan's actions are quite ruthless, but his mouth is polite.

"Tell you the truth, you're a leatherman now. Just now, Sun Butang checked your confession and was very angry, and the Holy Decree had already taken off your black yarn, so this mansion is also acting according to the routine, don't blame this mansion! ”

Zhao Panwu didn't give up, and asked again: "In the court system, although Sun Butang is the governor, he only has the right to participate, how can he arbitrarily dismiss the court officials?" ”

Chen Wenzhi came to Zhao Pan, who was lying on the ground, his eyes showed pity, and he leaned down.

"Leather clerk Zhao Pan, how can you forget that Sun Butang is a messenger who was ordered to handle the Jiangnan public money case, and the officials are implicated in this case, and the second rank and below can be fired immediately without invitation!"

"This, this, this ......" Zhao Pan woke up like a dream, only then did he realize that he had already been in the middle of the world and didn't know it, and he had been lucky again, which was really ridiculous, pitiful, and pathetic.

At this point, Zhao Pan lost his heart to resist and was completely at the mercy of others.

Fan Dalong went from the yamen to Zhao Pan's house, but he didn't find the shadow of his wife and brother, and he couldn't tell why he came after asking a few soap li, so he left a message to Zhao Pan's family, and when he returned home in the evening, he went to see him immediately.

When it didn't work, I couldn't help but scold angrily, this guy must have gone to the casino to have a good time. That's fine, at most you lose some money in the casino, so you won't get into trouble. He was worried about the errand assigned by the waiter Zhen Shu, and since he couldn't find Zhao Pan, who was still able to do things, he could only do it himself, and hurried to stop the pig iron allocated to the military port of the Three Guards.

As for Zhang Mingxue, a member of the staff below him, this person is slippery and tight, and he has been sick for the past few days, and he has the idea of not being offended. Fan Dalong secretly hated in his heart, and when this matter was understood, he would definitely find an excuse to demolish this person.

When I arrived at the warehouse of the freight yard, I happened to meet a pair of three guards in the uniform of the big red army, and the person who looked like the head of the army was negotiating with the cadre of the freight yard, and I couldn't resist the pressure and succumbed to the office. Fan Dalong secretly called himself to come in time, and immediately set up a pomp and rushed over with great fanfare.

When the general saw a civil official of the fifth grade, he immediately relented, but still insisted on entering the warehouse to extract the pig iron he needed.

Fan Dalong excused himself, but the general argued on the basis of reason, "I have an official document issued by the governor's yamen, why don't you ask me for pig iron?" ”

"It's not what you said, it's not that all the Shui Qing officials can't produce these pig iron, but the filial piety hall is in urgent need of use, so it's just moved first, and then it will be made up after the allowment. Please be patient! ”

Fan Dalong explained in detail, his eyes were full of cats and mice.

"But I don't know what subordinate department I have, what kind of position?"

The military uniform of the Three Guards is different from the military uniform of Daming, and Fan Dalong can't tell the difference between this person's official ranks, so he has to ask this question.

"I am the commander of the Pingbo fleet under the command of the Marquis of Zhen, Li Shuangcai!"

This general was Li Shuangcai, who was demoted to the general again, and he was embarrassed to say that the chief soldier of the Pingbo fleet was a red-haired fan named Wallace, so naturally he only mentioned Li Xin's name. And Fan Dalong heard that this person was just a mere general, and his attitude immediately changed significantly, and he reprimanded in an official tone:

"If you dare to make a big fuss about the treasury, if you should be punished according to the law, you will be reckless and ignorant, just retreat!"

Li Shuangcai is willing to leave lightly, he has just taken over the errand of transferring materials, and he has already worked hard to make some achievements, but now although he is not in a good position, he can not return in vain.

"Don't bully my ignorance, how can the Hall of Filial Piety use pig iron? Now, if you don't give me pig iron, I won't leave! ”

Fan Dalong sneered, he couldn't imagine that a general would dare to be so arrogant, worthy of being a general under Li Xin. But he has been a hall official for many years, what kind of person has not seen it, how can he be blind in front of this line of Wu Qiuba?

"The Ming official warehouse is here, if there is no official document, lead the troops to trespass, what? Do you want to rebel? Before the official changes his mind, let's go back and resume my life quickly, otherwise everyone can be punished by you! ”

It was this righteous rebuke that made Li Shuangcai hesitate, if there was no conflict with Mi Yan, he had a little more worries in his heart before acting, and at this moment he would have led his troops to smash the door, broke in and took the pig iron and left. Now, listening to Fan Dalong's reprimand for rebellion, and saying that everyone can get it and punish him, Li Xin's heartbroken appearance that day is vivid in front of him, for fear of causing trouble to the town marquis again, and he unconsciously retreated.

Li Shuangcai, who has always been rude, actually endured the evil anger and took people away stupidly.

Fan Dalong couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he originally planned to entangle with this person for more time, but he didn't expect that he was a character who was strong on the inside and strong on the outside, and he was scared away with a light word. For a while, he was very proud, and the unhappiness of not being able to find his wife and brother Zhao Pan was swept away, which was really happy, and it seemed that he could already see the shadow of Li Xin being driven out of Nanjing.

It wasn't until the evening that Fan Dalong calmed down and remembered that Zhao Pan, the little erector, hadn't come to ask for a meeting. Although this person is a good gambler, he never goes home at night, shouldn't there be some accident? But this thought is only a fleeting thought, what can he be surprised about? It's still too much for yourself.

The family sent to inquire about the news came back in a hurry, but the news brought back made Fan Dalong a little restless. Because, according to the information released by the Ying Tianfu Investigation Department, Zhao Pan has been caught selling public timber privately, and is now being imprisoned in Ying Tianfu Prison.

After thinking about it, Fan Dalong still decided to discuss countermeasures with the waiter Zhen Shu. Zhao Pan, this little shaft, knows a lot of things, if he moves them all, wouldn't he have to pull up the radish and bring out a big lump of mud?

Regarding Zhao Pan's arrest, Zhen Shu is an old god, so Fan Dalong doesn't have to worry too much, "Yiqiē has his own Shangshu to support him, you go back first and wait for the good news!" ”

After some appeasement, Fan Dalong's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and he asked Zhen Shu for instructions: "Then, what about Zhao Pan?" ”

Zhen Shu pondered for a moment and whispered a few words in Fan Dalong's ear. Fan Dalong's face immediately changed drastically, and he looked at Zhen Shilang in front of him in disbelief.

"This, this can be made?"

Zhen Shu showed a resolute look on her face, came to Fan Dalong, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, and replied categorically: "How can you not do it?" You go by yourself, everything is supported by Zhen and Shangshu! ”

After getting Zhen Shilang's letter, Fan Dalong returned to the Yamen of Dushui Qing Officials with a heavy heart, and stood in front of the window with an oil lamp in his hand for a long time, but he still didn't succeed. Zhen Shilang asked him to burn the place where the official documents and accounts were stored in the Dushui Qing Division, and it was a hundred. Even if Li Xin Naqiu Baruo investigated, without such key evidence, he could only talk and not be true.

However, Fan Dalong hesitated when the matter came to the end, if these things were really burned, he Zhen Shu would naturally be clean, but he was the official of the Dushui Qing Officials Division, and he was responsible for everything, and if anything happened, it was difficult to escape the blame, not to mention that Zhao Pan, who was not enough to succeed and had more than enough to lose, was still his wife and brother, and he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

And what if these accounts are preserved? When there is a case, there will still be evidence to prove that not all of this huge amount of public money has gone into his own pocket.

After making up his mind, Fan Dalong blew out the oil lamp and candles, and the room was pitch black. He sat alone in the room, and after a long time, he suddenly bounced out of his chair. In the time just now, Li Xin's previous ruthless methods to attack and restrain people flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, he couldn't bear this huge invisible pressure, as if he saw the future of his family's destruction and dismal ending.

The contrast between the triumphant mood of the afternoon is ridiculous. Thinking of the general of the Three Guards, the reason why he was easily frightened away by his own words is that he is afraid that people will already know the inside story, and he will watch himself perform like a cat and a mouse! Fan Dalong only felt extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

No way! Can't sit still, Fan Dalong fell into deep fear and contradictions, but he couldn't go to Ying Tianfu to surrender in person, right? After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea again, it was better to go to Ying Tianfu to find out the truth and make a plan to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Fan Dalong packed up and told the sedan chair man to prepare the sedan chair, and he was going to Yingtianfu to visit his wife and brother Zhao Pan.
