"You know it." Tang Tongzhang was busy answering with his head.

Shun Yu said: "The shopkeeper insisted that it was an old woman, because she was very hunched and bent over, and she walked so slowly that she needed help." But I thought that under the cover of the black canopy, it was actually two women. “

"Two women?" Tang Tongzhang was surprised, Shen Zetang looked at her, and there was a touch of praise in his eyes.

Shun Yu continued: "Maybe it was Xiangyu carrying the captured Tang girl on her back, she was young and weak, and her palm was cut off by her wrist, and she was in pain and weight, and she must have been so strained that her back was like a big stone." Or maybe it was Miss Tang who rescued Xiangyu, and for unavoidable reasons, she fled the house disguised as an old woman behind her back. “

Tang Tongzhang's expression sank, and his tone was a little stern: "You say that Xiangyu and others captured Xiao Wushang is still credible, if it is said that Xiao Wu colluded with him, it is nonsense." “

"Lord Tang doesn't need to be nervous, it's just a bill." Shen Zetang smiled: "No matter what, one thing is always certain, although Miss Tang didn't go back to the boudoir all night, she didn't take half a step out of the yafu. It makes sense to be detained somewhere by the kitchen lady and the one-eyed handyman, but Miss Tang is the apprentice of Master Xuanye, and she can be restrained by the two of them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a top killer. “

"Top killers." The tip of Tang Tongzhang's nose broke out in a cold sweat: "Although my little five is practicing martial arts, he is not angry, and he is usually in his boudoir, and he has never had a grudge against anyone. ”

Shen Zetang looked at him, his eyes were like torches: "Have you heard of the 'Eagle Heavenly Alliance'?" ”

Tang Tongzhang's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat: "I have heard a little, it is a killer organization with careful and rigorous actions, and the target they are targeting has never missed." ”

"You're well-informed."

Hearing Shen Zetang's words so lightly, he hurriedly explained: "It was the day before yesterday that I received a dossier from Yang Qing, the prefect of Zhenjiang, about the fire of 'Leshanzhuang' for no reason, and the death of the owner and wife of Zhao Zhuang. ”

Shen Zetang said calmly: "Miss Tang may have no grudges or grudges with others, Lord Tang should know that the official career is inevitably troubled, and you need to be careful about your body, and you are honest and upright when you are an official?" Serving the people and not being loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Miss Tang is now at a critical juncture, and she hopes that adults will do it for themselves. “

Seeing Tang Tongzhang's face disillusioned, and Nuonuo's soulless appearance, Shen Zetang did not say anything, but asked Tongzhi Yu Qing what was the origin of Tao Gong under Niushou Mountain.

Yu Qingzhi replied: "He just yearns for Tao Gong's free and easy attitude of returning to the countryside, and claims to be Tao Gong, whose original name is Ma Changyuan ......." “

Shen Zetang's face froze: "Ma Changyuan, once served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and his rank is the third grade. ”

Yu Qing was stunned, and said with a smile: "What Lord Shen said is very true, I heard that his daughter Jinniang was dissatisfied with the water and soil of the capital, and lingered on the sickbed all the year round, so that he finally gave up his career, resigned six years ago, and lived in Niushou Mountain, when there was a shortage of money, he would bundle firewood or dig some medicinal materials to sell in the market. “

Shen Zetang looked at Shun Yu without a trace...... is an official who was in the same dynasty as Tian Qihui six years ago, and all kinds of dangers are coming at him or her this time.

Qiu Zheng, a warden who was recruited, was brought, and Tang Tongzhang avoided it as ordered.

Shen Zetang's solemn face was sharp, showing the momentum of not being angry but mighty, Qiu Zheng was flustered and his legs were weak, and he knelt down in front of the hall.

"Qiu Zheng, do you know what you are called?" Yu Qing shouted loudly

"No...... I don't know, please let me know. Qiu Zheng stammered.

Shen Zetang waved his hand at Yu Qing and asked in a deep voice: "Dian Qiu, you used your power for personal gain and committed the crime of accepting bribes, can you be guilty?" “

Everyone was stunned, how could they have been convicted before the trial.

That Qiu Zheng was even more divine, desperately kowtowing and shouting that he was wronged.

Shen Zetang was still calm, took the register again, flipped through it, and sneered for a while: "The first page of the register clearly states the terms of recruitment, what is Article 5, you tell this official." “

Qiu Zheng was submissive, Shen Zetang disagreed, and continued: "Although you are vague, your heart is like a bright realm, but all the recruited miscellaneous servants do not seek to read and hyphenate, they need to be thoughtful, have good conduct, and have an innocent background." Miscellaneous servant Hu Si's eyes are missing, this is called thoughtfulness? Xiao, the kitchen dishwasher, recorded that he lived at No. 10 Baxian Lane, and the guards went to find out that there was no here, which is called innocence? Qiu Dian, you pretended to be deaf and dumb, collected silver to be accommodating, and made the two killers foolish, and now that Miss Tang's whereabouts are unknown, you still haven't recruited them from the truth. “

Qiu Zheng was like a sifting chaff but resisting to death quibble, Shen Zetang saw that his patience was exhausted, and he stopped talking nonsense, only frowned and said: "Qiu Zheng has an eight-year-old son in the family, let him suffer from this cane for his father." “

Qiu Zheng's face was as earthy as an instant, and he suddenly heard the footsteps by the door, and turned his head to see that his own child had been carried into the hall by the officials, and the other officials holding long thorny rattans followed behind.

The little boy grinned happily, and wanted to break away from the official and throw himself into his father's arms, Shen Zetang gave Shen Huan a look, Shen Huan understood, took the rattan in the hand of the official, let the baby lie on the chair, and peeled off his pants to reveal the fat goose.

Shun Yu secretly thought that the most ruthless person in the world was none other than Shen Erye, how could he let a child take his father to bear it, and then listen to the wind brought out by Shen Huan raising the rattan high, it was really ruthless enough, I was afraid that if I didn't die, I would go to half my life, seeing that the tip of the strip was about to fall in a curved arc, Qiu Zheng shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Lord Shen spares his life, and he confesses his guilt." “

Shen Huan's martial arts are profound, and when he mentions that tip, the fat goose is still white and tender, and the child is still crying.

When the child was taken away, Qiu Zheng bowed his head and confessed: "A year ago, I was eating wine in a tavern, and I met Hu Si, and I knew that he was a neighbor, and his wife would get some game for his wife every once in a while, so the relationship became closer and closer. “

"His wife said that this miscellaneous errand is facing the back of the board road all the year round, doing some rough work of sprinkling and sweeping, who will go out of his way to see if he lacks a nose and eyes! It makes sense to think about it, and because of the usual situation, he will find this errand for him, he is still hard-working, and he does not like to cause trouble, but this year is peaceful, it was a few days ago that he brought a mother-in-law, begged her to find a job, and stuffed fifty taels of silver under it. ”

Qiu Zheng kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "It's strange that you will see wealth in the next moment, and you will break into such a catastrophe, please forgive Lord Shen." “

Shen Zetang ordered the officials to escort him down, Tang Tongzhang Tie walked out from behind the painting screen with a blue face, looked at Shun Yu and asked, "Is that carriage indeed Tao Gong's?" “

Shun Yu wanted to answer but was stopped by him waving his hand, and said to himself: "Yes, there is a two-headed snake embroidered on the curtain, and it must be." “
