Listening to the words of the stout middle-aged man, the smile on the corner of Su Bolang's mouth became thicker, so it seemed that the situation was under his control. The fastest and most stable update is the artifact of reading books

At this moment, Su Bolang really admired Zhou Yuting, and actually set up a bureau to lure the stout middle-aged man into the weathering case, and then skillfully involved several other food merchants.

Due to the urgency of time, no one would have noticed that something would happen to those food merchants, let alone something related to Zhang Wang's matter.

Don't talk about the outside world, even there are very few people in Shuntianfu who know about this matter, and Ma Cheng used his henchmen when handling this case.

Although he reported the case to Shuntian Fucheng early this morning, that Tiao Chen only went to Fucheng's table, and Fucheng himself did not see it.

The reason is very simple, Fu Cheng came to the Criminal Department with Shuntian Mansion Fu Yin to observe the trial, where is there time to read the statement submitted by Ma Cheng.

The whole incident was planned neatly and heartily, and it was not muddy at all, so it gave a great surprise to the officials at the scene.

And Ma Cheng, naturally the helper Yang Yungui found, is the most important link in this plan.

Ma Cheng is a jinshi in the same department as Cui Hui, one subject higher than Li Yuntian, because his results in the palace examination ranked at the bottom of the top three, so he can neither enter the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, nor enter the sixth department, and can only be an errand in the major departments and courtyards in the capital.

Yang Yungui and Ma Cheng got acquainted last year because of a case in Shuntianfu, and later became good friends, so they helped Yang Yungui this time.

Ma Cheng knew that Yang Yungui was Li Yuntian's person, and Li Yuntian and Cui Hui were not on good terms, so it stands to reason that he should keep a distance from Yang Yungui.

But the interpersonal relationship in the capital is complicated, and Ma Cheng also has his own interpersonal circle, and although he is in the same department as Cui Hui, he has no friendship with each other.

Therefore, the carriage helped Yang Yungui this time, and at the same time, he was also looking for a chance for himself to make friends with Li Yuntian, who was a celebrity like Li Yuntian, which would be of great benefit to the development of his career in the future.

"You sue the king, which two stewards of the imperial dining room!" Because the officials inside and outside the lobby were whispering about the words of the stout middle-aged man, which made the scene a little noisy, Zhu Yongqing slapped the startled wood hard, which made the people quiet, and then asked the stout middle-aged man in a deep voice, he wanted to obtain an exact confession.

Peng ...... Peng Da Niu, Zhang Wang. The stout middle-aged man didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied, "Lord Wang, we just gave the money to these two stewards." ”

"Nonsense." As soon as his words fell, the Qian family angrily broke into the lobby, knelt in front of the hall and said to Zhu Yongqing, "Lord, my father-in-law has always been law-abiding, how could he do such a corrupt thing. The fastest and most stable update dìng"

"Lord Wang, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to search now, if my family has the slightest bit of money from ink, let the prince punish it." Saying that, Qian looked at Zhu Yongqing solemnly, ready to defend Zhang Wang's dignity.

"Lord Wang, the people of Benshan believe that what Mrs. Zhang said is the truth." Without waiting for Zhu Yongqing to speak, Su Bolang said suddenly, and then looked at the stout middle-aged man, "There is evidence for what you said." ”

"Yes...... Yes. The stout middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "The little ones have account books at home, which record the amount of money given to the two stewards each time, and the difference between the market price of the goods and the actual price we sold to the two stewards. ”

Su Bolang smiled slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Zhu Yongqing.

Zhu Yongqing pondered for a while, and then asked the messenger of the Criminal Department to go to the house of the stout middle-aged man and other food merchants to look for the account books, and sent Peng Daniu, the steward of the imperial dining room, to come for questioning, and at the same time brought the purchase account books of the imperial dining room to facilitate the accounting.

"Lord Qiqi, we have retrieved the items in the money village, a total of five thousand taels of silver, eight hundred taels of gold, and some house deeds and land deeds near the capital."

When the servants left, the people who had gone to Qianzhuang came back, and a seven-rank official from the Criminal Department entered the lobby and bowed his hand to Zhu Yongqing, and said loudly, "The lower official has checked, and the secret word is the birthday of Mrs. Zhang's steward." ”

As he spoke, the officer who followed him placed the silver, gold, and title deeds in the lobby, which caused another commotion on the scene.

Obviously, Zhang Wang's salary alone will not be able to have so much money in his life.

"Lord Wang, this is a false accusation, it is definitely they who planted it to the husband and wife of this eighth grade." Qian didn't believe that Zhang Wang would be greedy for ink, and it was such a huge amount, seeing that the officials around him were talking about this matter in a whisper, his heart suddenly became anxious, and he said to Zhu Yongqing in a loud voice.

"Qian, this king asks you, since Steward Zhang handed over the longevity lock to you, has anyone touched it?" Zhu Yongqing looked at Qian quietly when he heard this.

"I didn't ...... No. Qian's face turned pale in an instant, and Zhang Wang specially instructed her to wear it on the second son's body at all times after handing it over to her, and not to get wet, so the longevity lock has been worn by the second son of the Zhang family these days, which means that the deposit slip inside was put in by Zhang Wang.

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, it must be that this demon Dao cast a demon law from it, and planted the money and wealth to the husband of this eight-grade widow. Then, Qian remembered something, pointed at Su Bolang and said to Zhu Yongqing in a loud voice, "Didn't he use a demon spell to make Zhao Lang fall into evil spirits and almost kill Wu Hanlin?" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the lobby couldn't help but look at Su Bolang, and their eyes were full of vigilance: although Qian's guess looked a little unbelievable, Zhao Yu's evil spirit was a fact, and it was not certain that Su Bolang really had this ability.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Su Bolang shook off the dust unhurriedly, he didn't have too much to argue, just glanced at the courtyard, and then said lightly, "Mrs. Zhang, have you ever heard that Skynet is magnificent but not leaky?" ”

At this time, the discussion in the courtyard stopped, and it turned out that several servants led a beautiful woman and two boys away, and all three of them were filial piety, which made everyone confused, and they couldn't figure out the origin of the three mothers and sons.

Under the gaze of the people, the beautiful woman led the two boys to kneel beside Qian, the eldest was six or seven years old, and the younger was four or five years old, timidly hiding behind the beautiful woman.

"Benshan people ask you, who are you and for whom do you wear filial piety?" None of the people present knew why Su Bolang had brought this woman who was in mourning to come over, Su Bolang walked to the beautiful woman's side and asked in a deep voice.

"The folk woman Zhao is ...... Dai Xiao, the husband of the people's wife. The pretty woman's face showed a look of panic, and then she replied with a pretended composure.

"Who is your husband?" Su Bolang stared at Zhao like a torch and asked in a deep voice.

"Benshan people remind you that the people sitting behind the table are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the household department, and the officials and governors of the major yamen are sitting here, if you have any false words, you will definitely be severely punished." Before Zhao spoke, Su Bolang solemnly admonished him again.

"Min...... Who is the husband of the people's woman...... It's ......" Zhao had already recognized the costumes on the officials at the scene, and knew that there were princes and second- and third-grade officials inside, so he gritted his teeth after hesitating for a moment, and said to Zhu Yongqing in a coquettish voice, "Lord Wang, the husband of the people's wife is Zhang Wang, the steward of the imperial dining room!" ”

"What?" Zhu Yongqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was taken aback, he never imagined that Zhao's identity would be so special.

The officials inside and outside the lobby were in an uproar again, isn't Zhang Wang's wife Qian? Where did this Zhao come from?

"Oops!" At the same time, Fan Bin, who was standing behind the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, had a gloomy face, his eyes showed a worried look, and he couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

Yang Yungui guessed correctly when he was in the stable, Zhang Wang was not a chess piece arranged by the King of Han in the palace, otherwise the news of Emperor Hongxi's abnormal diet would be spread without Cui Hui reporting to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing confirmed Cui Hui's speculation from the imperial dining room, so he found Fan Bin, Qin Yongxiang and Wu Tong to find a way to discuss, after all, Fan Bin and the three of them were all from Jinshi, and their minds were much more flexible than those of Feng Changan and Gong Kui.

Therefore, Fan Binjian started from the two stewards in charge of Emperor Hongxi's diet records in the imperial dining room, and Lu Tianxing's subordinates accidentally discovered that Zhang Wang had an outer room Zhao in the process of tracking Zhang Wang and Peng Daniu, so they used this as a threat to force Zhang Wang to comply, so that Zhang Wang had to give Lu Tianxing the food records he kept.

Because what Lu Tianxing committed was a capital crime, Fan Bin and others later forced Zhang Wang to beat the drum and file a complaint, and then hanged himself after taking the arsenic hidden on his body during his detention, creating a big puzzle around Zhang Wangbu.

Now Su Bolang has not only discovered the money left by Zhang Wang to the Qian family, but also found the Zhao family, which makes Fan Bin have an ominous premonition, and Su Bolang is uncovering the situation they have set up step by step.

Qin Yongxiang, Feng Changan and the others' faces also became ugly, they didn't expect Su Bolang to be so powerful, knowing so many secret things, and they didn't know how to deal with the complex and critical situation in front of them for a while.

"You lie, the husband of this eight-grade widow did not marry a concubine, who are you and why do you do this?" After the initial shock, Qian came back to his senses and pointed at Zhao and said angrily.

"Eldest sister, it's inconvenient for my husband to bring my sister home, so I put my sister outside." An embarrassed look appeared on Zhao's face, and he opened his mouth to explain to Qian.

"Nonsense, my husband has always been by my side, how can it have anything to do with you?" Hearing this, Qian glared at Zhao coldly, believing that she was lying.

"Sue Aunt Sù for your birthday." Zhao didn't argue, but turned to the two boys behind him and said.

The two boys looked at Qian timidly, and at the same time reported the birth dates of the two, and after hearing this, Qian's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.

"Eldest sister, whenever these two children are born, the husband will come to accompany them and spend the night at my sister's place." Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still said it, looking extremely embarrassed, in the end, she was just a nameless and penniless outer room, and she didn't even have the qualifications to call Qian's "sister".

"How can this be, isn't he out on an errand? How could it be possible to go to another woman? Qian was stunned and said to himself, Zhao was right, Zhang Wang stayed outside on the two boys' birthdays in the name of running errands.

Moreover, now look at the two boys beside Zhao who look very similar to Zhang Wang, and Yankuai is his son.

Facing this bizarre scene in front of them, the officials inside and outside the lobby of the Criminal Department looked at each other, although those account books have not been brought yet, but everyone has guessed from the dialogue and reaction of the Qian family and the Zhao family, it seems that Zhang Wang's greed for ink is true, otherwise how can he afford the Zhao family's outer room?

Originally, Zhang Wang was a loyal minister who was desperately admonishing in the eyes of everyone, but now he suddenly broke out greedy for ink, and his image collapsed in an instant, and even Wu Shaoqing's face showed a gloomy look. One
