In anticipation, it finally got dark.

Cheng Mansion behaved as usual, and Cheng Hanbai called for dinner to eat in the Begonia House today. After a while, Gui Zhi and Tao Ye were carried in, and Dark Qi asked anxiously: "Big girl, they were really poisoned by Cheng Li and thrown in the small ancestral hall." I've already fed the antidote pill you gave, why haven't I woken up? ”

Begonia went over to take the pulse, and rolled her eyelids and mouth again.

She turned back to Ji'er and said, "Brew two bowls of saliva and let them spit it out." ”

Soon, Shuang'er and Ji'er poured a big bowl of alum and soaphorn water for each of them. The two of them woke up coughing, vomiting incessantly, until they even had to vomit bile. The two opened their eyes and looked at the people in the room, and with a "wow" sound, they hugged their heads and cried.

At this time, Cheng Shuang came to inform that Pan Xiuying and Cheng Li had called a carriage and hurried out of the city. Steward Cheng calculated well, at this time, it happened to be the point where the city gate was about to be closed. When they turned around, someone came to chase them, and they would not have thought that they had just left the city, but would only search in the city, and they would have to have an extra night of effort to escape.

Cheng Hanbai was not in a hurry, Yu Lang had already sent two eye-catching guards to wait on the boat.

This Yu Lang does have some talent for leading troops, and the Xinfu soldiers he recruited back have only been trained well in a few months. The two boys sent out today are his two squad leaders, Du Kai and Ruan Ping.

The point where the night boat departed was about to arrive, and I saw a carriage hurrying over, and the couple of men and women who got off the car and got on the boat were Cheng Li and Pan Xiuying. Cheng Li asked loudly: "Boatman, is this a boat to Suzhou Mansion?" ”

"Exactly, exactly! Just wait for the two of you to come, and we'll set sail! Ruan Binh, who was standing at the bow of the boat, replied.

When they got on the boat, Du Kai went over to collect the cable, drew the pedal, and shouted happily: "Start the boat~~"

Cheng Hanbai and the first and fifteenth days of the new year, with seven or eight guards, arrived outside the city gate early and stood on the horse waiting for news. After a while, the flying pigeon passed the book and arrived, and the note read four words: Jiangnan Wujiang. A place that has nothing to do with the hometown of the two of them. The boat was going to Suzhou, but they got off at Wujiang. If they are allowed to run away, it will be really difficult to find out.

"Let's go!" Cheng Hanbai clamped his legs, and the mount gold bar under his crotch shook his spirits, hissed, and took the lead in rushing out.

Those who do it at night also have Duanwang.

King Duan took a few people and entered the Shuntianfu prison overnight. Cai Fuyin followed behind with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness King Duan, this is not in accordance with the rules......"

Ming Yuanhui, who was walking behind King Duan, turned around and said: "This official has doubts about the case, and the retrial person made a confession, is this in accordance with the rules?!" ”

Pan Jingcheng was dozing off in the corner of the cell when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and a group of people had reached the door of the cell, blocking the torches on the opposite wall and casting a shadow.

When Pan Jingcheng saw several tall and majestic men open the cell door and surround him, and someone brought a chair in and let the middle one sit down, he was already so frightened that he sat down on the ground. But as soon as he remembered what Cheng Xiangjin said to him, he wanted to struggle again, and shouted again and again: "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's all General Cheng Shao who instructed me to secretly take it to melt gold!" ”

"Major General Cheng? When, where, and how are you directed? Let's talk carefully, if there is a lie, you will not be spared! Ming Yuanhui shouted.

Pan Jingcheng fluently memorized the words that Xiang Jin taught him to memorize, and recited them again, he said: "That's it, I remember it clearly." ”

"Oh? Is it? Then let me ask you, you said that you went to Chengfu to find the major general to get something on the afternoon of the 5th, why did anyone see you gambling in the gambling house for a whole afternoon on the afternoon of the 5th, and did not leave until the time of the unitary? That afternoon, you lost fifty-four taels of silver. Is there such a thing? Ming Yuanhui said coldly.

Pan Jingcheng was sweating and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

King Duan said lightly: "On the torture instrument." ”

"Don't put on the torture device, sir! I say, I say it all! "Pan Jingcheng is a soft bone, these days in prison I heard the people who were tortured crying wolf howl, although the king protected himself, but he was still so frightened that he peed his pants twice.

So, Pan Jingcheng shook out how Cheng Li took him to the warehouse, how he let him transport things away, and how to divide the money later.

King Duan asked again: "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"Only Steward Cheng and my sister know!" Pan Jingcheng saw that King Duan had a calm face, staring at him deadly, and said hesitantly: "...... One time I drank too much and told my niece...... Cheng Xiangjin. ”

"I'm done. Akiji Zheng, you continue. After speaking, King Duan stood up and shook his cloak and strode out of the Shuntianfu prison.

Cheng Haitang didn't rest.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Changshi took two bookkeepers and waited in the main hall of Chengfu. Haitang brought Su Mei from her grandmother's side over and asked the Cheng Mansion account office to take out all the account books.

Ji'er and Shuang'er were in two rooms, writing confessions to Guizhi and Taoye respectively. The two hated to serve Aunt Pan, and in the end, she was ruthless in asking for their lives, so she told all the things that Aunt Pan and Steward Cheng had been secretly happy, embarrassed, and embezzled family property over the years.

Chengfu's accounts are not complicated, except for the independent settlement of the eldest girl's property, Chengfu only has two Zhuangzi under the name of the old lady, so there are two Zhuangzi under the name of the lady, and one Zhuangzi under the name of Cheng Hanbai.

Cheng Li's silver money transferred out on weekdays was all from the old lady's Zhuangzi's account, and more than 30,000 taels of silver and more than 5,000 taels of gold were moved out before and after.

Cheng Haitang couldn't cry or laugh at the ledger.

Nuoda has a Cheng Mansion, and his father and brother have worked hard at the border for many years, and now there are only two Zhuangzi left to marry his mother! Cheng Hanbai's Zhuangzi was still a reward given by him when he returned to Beijing to take up his post, and the emperor read that he started from scratch.

Cheng Xiangjin got 8,000 taels of private money, except for 3,000 taels that went to the public account, and the other 5,000 were also privately transferred to her by Aunt Pan.

After Cheng Hanbai rushed to Wujiang, he found the Wujiang County Order, informed the house slave of the smuggling of the money, and asked him to assist in recovering the stolen goods.

The county commander personally accompanied the Jingwei commander of Sanpin, General Cheng, and seized the accounts of Pan Xiuying and Cheng Li in Qianzhuang, and sealed the Tian Mansion under Cheng Li's name.

When the river boat docked, Pan Xiuying and Cheng Li were about to go ashore with joy, Du Kai and Ruan Ping greeted them, snatched their baggage, and cut their hands behind their backs, Du Kai said with a smile: "Aunt Pan, Steward Cheng, the young general is waiting for you in the county office!" ”

Cheng Li has been on the boat for a long time, and he thought that he had met a good person, and he rewarded him with two pieces of broken silver, only then did he know that they were all people sent by Cheng Hanbai to monitor him.

In the prison of Shuntianfu, Ming Yuanhui recorded a new confession and sent the case back to Shuntianfu for retrial, Cai Fuyin did not dare to slack off, and according to Pan Jingcheng's new confession, the case was reopened, and the other two conspirators were escorted back to the capital from Wujiang in the near future. At the same time, Cheng Hanbai was also removed from this case.

Green incense upstairs. "This is a matter of offering the king, Cheng Xiangjin has secretly met Pan Jingcheng." Xie Ruizhu snorted from his nose: "Ji Baiyu, don't you have a lot of pickled things to offer the king in your hands?" It's okay to let the two out, don't let him be idle and have nothing to do, just thinking about making trouble for me! ”

Yan Shiyi smiled:

"Don't worry, his troubles are already on the way!"
