Chapter 25: The Beginning of the Afternoon (17)
Looking at Huang Luzhi's sincere face, Xiao Jinniang showed a trace of disdain on her face, because she didn't believe that Huang Luzhi was deeply moved because she heard her story, and then her conscience found that she let herself go.
"Lord Huang, you have to think about it, we are prisoners arrested by Dali Temple, and if you let it go privately, it will affect your career."
Anyway, the way of the Yellow Road is easy to come by, and letting Xiao Jinniang and Ye Luping go without permission is also something that must be done in the task, as for the consequences, take care of your own.
"What kind of career is not a career, it's all a trick to deceive, but then again, I have never seen you like this for many years as an official, and I am willing to stay in prison if I have a way to live, if I am replaced, I still can't ask for it!"
Xiao Jinniang sneered and said: "That's because your official position is not big enough, and your knowledge is too little, if you go to Dali Temple and Tian Xiang every day, then the people and things you see are all kinds and varied."
Huang Luzhi pondered for a long time.
Xiao Jinniang knew that her sarcasm had worked, as long as she added a little heat, this stupid boy would obediently work for herself.
"Since you regard your career as child's play, then there must be your way, I'm not in a hurry in my cell, I know I'll be able to get out soon, don't you want to know why?"
Huang Luzhi said in surprise: "You also participated in this game?" ”
Xiao Jinniang whispered: "Speak quietly, don't let people hear, in fact, I know everything, your task is aimed at me, isn't it?" Since it's against me, then you have to do what I say, or all your efforts will be in vain."
Huang Luzhi's task was to let go of the prisoners in the cell without permission, but he didn't specify who they were, but after Xiao Jinniang's deception, Huang Luzhi was convinced.
"Hey, it turns out that you are the one who gave me the order, blame me Huang for having eyes and not knowing Mount Tai, what do you want me to do next, what reward do you want me to do next?"
For Huang Luzhi's performance, Xiao Jinniang is very satisfied.
"Didn't you say that the treasure book Chang'an Zhi can access anyone's information? I need you to investigate the relationship between the guards of the twelve city gates and Yan Zhigao within an hour, and finally be able to sort out a clue."
"What's in it for me?"
Xiao Jinniang didn't think about it, and said: "You just have to do it, and your benefits are indispensable after you do it."
Huang Luzhi didn't think about whether there was any cat in it, and with the principle that he was still counting money after being sold, he turned around and went to the Ministry of Officials, because he had been a small official in the Ministry of War before, and now it is not difficult for the master of Dali Temple to obtain such a collection.
Half an hour passed, and Huang Luzhi came back, still holding the drawings he had secretly drawn in his hand
The names of the twelve city gate guards, their origins, and what they had done before were drawn on this piece of paper in the twelve directions, and the name of Yan Zhigao was drawn in the middle, and they were connected one by one with lines, but they were broken every time they reached the place where the information was gathered.
"This shows ......"
Without waiting for Huang Luzhi to finish speaking, Xiao Jinniang preemptively said: "This shows that he is only responsible for stealing the map, and how to transport the map out has nothing to do with him, so it is pointless to investigate the twelve city gate guards."
Ye Luping felt that what Xiao Jinniang said was very reasonable.
"Do you remember, Yan Zhigao took the deployment map and went to Buzheng Fang, as if he went there to hand over, but somehow he was kicked out, and he was beaten to death, all of this is like a bird's end, a good bow is hidden, a rabbit dies, and a lackey cooks"
"You mean the destruction of corpses? Just complete the task and hide him, why kill people? ”
"You're weird, aren't you?" Yan Zhigao took the drawings he had compiled and explained: "I also feel strange, but the blame is that Yan Zhigao is also a Hu person, why do they want to kill their own people?" ”
Xiao Jinniang stood up and patted Huang Luzhi's shoulder and praised.
"Little brother, thank you so much, sometimes I scold you, it's not out of my intention to lie to you, it's really you simple, I can't bear to lie to you if you're simple"
Xiao Jinniang turned her head to look at Ye Luping: "Let's go, let's go to Buzheng Fang to have a look"
After the two left, Huang Luzhi was left standing in place, looking confused.
"Hey, hey, what's the stuff you're hiding from me and not telling me? Say it quickly, or I'll be done with you."
