Chapter 26: Out of the City
Back at the county office, the county ordered Lord Wen to hurriedly come to the study.
Judging from the current situation, there are people with unusual identities in the restaurant, and things have developed to this point, which has greatly exceeded his expectations.
County Lieutenant Liu has been murdered, although he is a parent official, who can guarantee that they will not dare to do it to themselves? What had already happened disturbed him.
He turned the inkstone on his desk, and a recessed compartment appeared on the wall behind the bookshelf.
He first removed the ornaments from the bookshelf in front of the dark grid, and then carefully took out the account book from the palm of his left hand and his right hand.
Finally, he put everything back to its original state and walked out of the study with his books.
The officials were all sent out, and the huge courtyard was dead silent. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, he tightened his clothes, and looked up at the night sky, dark clouds covered the moon, and the stars were dim.
"Bad omen!" His heart tightened, and he hastened his pace towards the cell.
The jailer at the door of the cell saw the county commander Wen coming over panting, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Lord Wen! ”
"Take me...... Go see ...... Lin Lao. ”
Lin Lao, who is in the mouth of the county commander Wen, is the former squire of the Criminal Department. He is upright and upright in his speech, and such a character has offended many courtiers in the court.
Later, because of the defense of Qi Shangshu's murder case, he was jealous of the queen, and it didn't take long for the queen's party to find a reason to impeach him and be demoted to the barren land of Xihai.
In the face of such a chaotic court, he was unwilling to go along with it, so he resigned and returned to his hometown in a fit of anger.
"Lord Lin, the next official is Xuanguguan County Ling Wen." The county commander Wen respectfully bowed.
The old man who was lying on his side on the wooden bed turned his head to glance at him, and turned away without saying anything.
With a "poof", the county ordered Lord Wen to kneel.
"Lord Lin, the lower officials are guilty!" He said excitedly, "It was really a last resort to detain you at the beginning, and you urged General Yang to war, but as a general, how could he not obey the orders of the imperial court?" You are spreading dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and General Yang is really thinking of your safety that I have come up with a way to keep you by my side. ”
"If you're just saying that, you don't have to." After the old man was arrested and put in the cell, he was kept in custody without going through the court trial, and he was served with good food and drink every day, and the accommodation conditions were better than those of ordinary prisoners.
"Lord Lin, the lower officials definitely don't dare to ask for your forgiveness." Lord Wen's eyes were full of pain, "I came here this time to say goodbye to you!" ”
The old man got up and sat upright, and the old man under the candlelight was the one who gave advice to Xia Yue in prison. "What do you mean by that?" His voice was deep and powerful.
"Lord Lin, this account book records in detail the bribery records of our officials, and the dates, targets, and numbers are recorded in detail one by one." The county commander Wen dragged the account book with both hands and handed it to Lin Lao.
Lin Lao, who was originally not interested, turned pale when he heard this.
