Although he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, there are not many times when Zhou Dong appears in the prison of the Criminal Department, and even if he does, it is mostly a prisoner who has encountered some trouble or some other things.

It is really rare to bring someone into the criminal department like this, and the officer of the criminal department who was patrolling the prison saw him from a distance, so he leaned over and gave a salute, and when he got up, he couldn't help but look at the two men beside Zhou Dong.

The wounds on his face were old wounds, and these small injuries did not look like they were left by torture, they should have been brought in from outside.

In front of Zhou Dong, the official naturally didn't say anything, asked anything, just stood aside respectfully and let them go first, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the two panicked men.

After Zhou Dong walked away with the two men, one of the officials couldn't help but cough lightly and asked his colleagues around him, "Did your lord come up with any new torture tricks?" ”

For example, use intimidation to make them tell the truth or something.

The official on the side shook his head, but his eyesight was excellent: "There is a chain under the robe, and I guess where the suspect came from." "It's just that I don't know how this suspect has such treatment, and he was brought over by the adult himself.

"Maybe it's a repeat offense," said the official who was the first to speak curiously, "maybe we're going to copy the guy again, but I don't know how to pry open their mouths for these two adults this time." ”

Those who can get out after entering the prison of the Criminal Department, even if they are innocent and noble, and their interrogation methods are soft, they will be scared of a serious illness when they go out, but I don't know what will happen to these two men.

Second Master Yuan couldn't help but touch his arm, he didn't know why he made such an action, it was just pure instinct.

This Shangshu Zhou of the Criminal Department didn't do anything to them, and after hearing that they wanted to prove their innocence, he quickly took him and the old guy on the side out of the original mansion, and then came directly to the Criminal Department.

As for why they brought the two of them here, Lord Zhou didn't say, and they didn't ask.

"We found out something," at this moment, Zhou Dong suddenly spoke, he paused when he spoke, and his tone seemed to be a little hesitant, "Well, the two of you will know when you go in." ”

Before the second master could speak, the old man who was picked by "lucky" on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, we must know everything and say everything, and we must do what we can do." ”

"Really?" Zhou Dong stopped, turned around, and smiled at him, "Then it depends on the performance of the two." ”

This smile is actually commonplace, and there is nothing wrong with his tone, but I don't know why, it still startles the two of them.

Led the two into a cell, and the two officials who were sitting in it saw that the adult came in person, and hurriedly stood up, and respectfully shouted "My lord", and then his eyes fell on the original second master and the old man behind him.

This gaze is exactly the same as the two officials in the past, and the two of them couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on their arms inadvertently, and they always felt that the gazes of these officials of the Criminal Department were a little penetrating.

In fact, I didn't see any bloody and terrible scenes all the way in, but it was probably because of the reputation of the Criminal Department, so that the two of them were very uncomfortable.

Behind the official was a middle-aged man tied to the cross, who was shrunk and trembling at this time.

Seeing this, Zhou Dong frowned slightly, and said, "Tortured?" ”

The official shook his head and said, "I was scared, and after I said it in one fell swoop, I started crying, saying that I didn't know anything else." ”

Zhou Dong snorted, walked to the table on the side, flipped through an account book on the top, and said, "Boss Qi, everything is here?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and tears flowed out again: "I really don't know anything else, I'm just doing business, my lord, I really don't know!" ”

Although he hasn't been sentenced since he came in, who doesn't know where the criminal department is? It was also a matter of time before he came in and was sentenced, and he panicked at the thought of what happened next.

Boss Qi's fear, Zhou Dong naturally wouldn't care, if Shangshu of the Criminal Department still cares about these little things, then even if he gives birth to three heads and six arms, he won't be able to care.

"Now, there's a letter missing." Zhou Dong opened his mouth and looked up at the second master and the old man, paused, and said, "If this letter is found, there will be a rough conclusion about what is going on." ”

However, this conclusion is only whether the original family is related to the confirmation of this matter or is only suspicious.

The reason why this matter is so important is because it involves rebellion, so no matter how small the matter is, it must be investigated.

"What letter?" Second Master Yuan asked anxiously, "The letters at home are all in the concierge, you can check them." ”

"I know." Zhou Dong raised his hand as he spoke, interrupted him, and said, "The letter I want is not something that can be found at your house, I have already found a clue." ”

He said and pointed to the account book in his hand, and said, "That letter has been in Boss Qi's pawnshop for thirteen years, but some time ago, someone took the letter away with the deed. ”

Hearing this, Boss Qi began to cry again: "I just opened a pawnshop, the credit paper is an extremely rare Saeki paper, although the envelope is folded, there is no word on the letter envelope, if you carefully unfold it, you may not be able to get a complete Saeki paper that has never been inked." My lord, you go and inquire about the market of Saeki paper, this is worth a thousand gold! That's why I took it, and who knows what's in it! ”

He would be a letter in his pawnshop, purely for that piece of paper.

Zhou Dong smiled when he heard this: "I heard that Boss Qi is as wise as a torch in Chang'an Treasure Shop, but I didn't expect to look away." Compared to the content of the envelope, it is not an exaggeration to say that this blank Saeki paper is heaven and earth! ”

Boss Qi was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but move his lips and mutter: "This ...... How can it be? ”

What can be more expensive than Saeki paper?

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Of course, this is to find the right buyer, for some people it is a piece of waste paper, but for some people, but the survival of the Chang'an wealthy family, do you say that it is priceless for them?" ”

What a good-natured criminal department scholar, so patiently answering the question of an ordinary pawnshop owner. The faces of the second master and the old man, who were listening on the side, had already turned pale.

They probably have already understood: that letter is related to the survival of their Jiao and Yuan families, so they need to find that letter.

But there's such a thing as finding something...... The second master couldn't help but say: "If this matter is handed over to Dali Temple, it may be able to investigate faster." ”

This kind of time is not the time to count Dali Temple, compared to the means of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple is not an exaggeration to say that it is benevolent. Moreover, there is a specialization in the art industry, who is not looking for Dali Temple?

"There is no need to find Dali Temple for this," Zhou Dong smiled and pointed to a page in the account book, and said, "We have already found the person who took the letter." ”
