"How do you know it's me?" Tong Dongrui raised his eyes, "I admit that I didn't show my feet." ”

The former office of the Metropolitan Protectorate also has a court where the appeal is filed and the verdict is made. Usually, small cases are handled by Tong Dongrui's subordinates, and he personally sits in the big cases. I'm afraid he never thought that one day he would kneel under the hall as a defendant.

Originally, Bai Shiyi planned to be interrogated in the prison, but Chun Tuyi persuaded him to move here. Although it is not a public trial, it is better to give the criminals a fair place. Before Tong Dongrui pleaded guilty and was detained, he was only a criminal suspect.

"There will always be horses' feet, and it depends on who is smart." Bai Shiyi's expression was flat, "My daughter is smarter than you, so you lost." ”

Tong Dongrui's gaze moved to Chun Tu again, "Miss is unparalleled in wisdom, Tong admires it, I just ask Miss for guidance, let me die and understand." ”

At this time, there were only ten people in the court: the chief judge Bai Shiyi, the supervisor Zhao Nuan, and Bai Shiyi's four personal soldiers played the role of the officials, Du Dongchen was the scribe in charge of the records, and the emperor's special envoy Chun Tu and Xiao Feng and Feng who were closely protected.

Last night, there was a big chaos in Qiuzi City, and a few small people from the Western Regions who had already gotten the news wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but they didn't know that the chaos was fake and the trap was real. Chun Dashan had long led his troops to guard near the city gate and captured those with bad intentions. Capturing the sneak attackers is equivalent to holding the handle of some tribes, and they will make concessions to the Tang Dynasty. For Chun Dashan, it is a major military achievement. And all of this is thanks to his precious daughter. I think last night, it was really a good show. If Han Yingzi compiles a song and dance and dedicates it to the emperor, it will be easier for Bai Shiyi and Chun Dashan to win the favor of the saints.

"Actually, your method is very clever, and I didn't doubt you at all at first." Chun Tu Yu stepped forward and took a small step. Facing Tong Dongrui, "I just think that big thief is too incredible, and he expects the enemy to take the lead everywhere." I don't believe that there are people who can't make mistakes, and I don't believe that there are perfect crimes. So, I took all the cases committed by the thieves and studied them, the time, the place, the property involved, and the way in which the thieves were handled. ”

"How to deal with it?" Tong Dongrui raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, the flow of the stolen goods is likely to indicate the motive and purpose of the crime." Chun Tu shrugged, "You specifically shot at the rich family. The gold, silver, and jewels were innumerable. Although those things are moving, they should not be eaten or drunk, and because they are recorded by the government, they cannot be shot or show traces casually, so they naturally have a way to sell the stolen goods. ”

"What did you find?" Tong Dongrui snorted coldly. It looks a little contemptuous.

Of course, Chun Tu was not swayed by his emotions, and said calmly, "Your advantage is that you occupy the position of a high-ranking official in the Dadu Protectorate, and you are close to a Silk Road that runs through the east and west. There, there were many merchants coming and going, and many people did not hesitate to take risks for the sake of wealth and money. in the Western Regions. Many of the things that horse thieves and bandits have looted from here. You have the convenience of your position and the convenience of transportation, even if you clean up the four towns of Anxi. It also leads to hands. ”

"There is no record of those black market transactions, how do you find out?" Tong Dongrui asked again, reduced to a prisoner, but the official authority was still there. Bai Shiyi's brows furrowed. It's very unpleasant, but it's a scolding that needs to be exported. Stopped by the eyes of the spring.

Proud people have completely lost, and naturally they have a bad attitude towards confessing their sins. Her purpose is not to arrest people, but to get to the truth, so there's no need to worry too much about the details.

"You're right, it's really undetectable." Chun Tu nodded, "But if such a large number of gold and silver jewelry are to be circulated, it is impossible to be completely without traces. And money laundering naturally has to go through business. So I checked, but fortunately, I was the emperor's envoy, and I could privately mobilize the power of the government without having to show my face, so as to prevent any internal ghosts from finding out. ”

"Check the caravan?" Tong Dongrui narrowed his eyes, "The goods coming and going are all goods, how can you check?" There were conventions along the Silk Road, and the government of any country was not allowed to arbitrarily inspect the goods of passing merchants unless there was solid evidence. ”

"You're a Tang man, aren't you?" Spring suddenly changed the topic.

"Lao Tzu is a person of the Tang Dynasty in life, and he is a ghost of the Tang Dynasty in death." Tong Dongrui said proudly.

"So......" Chun Tu smiled suddenly, "I just need to check the caravan of Datang, anyway, the money you take is to be spent in Datang." And, why should I search the caravan? I'm just staring at which caravan has the most business, and where the caravan's principal ends up. ”

After saying this, he glanced at Tong Dongrui, only to see that his face was pale, unconvinced, and unwilling.

"Clever." Finally, he gritted his teeth and popped out these two words.

Behind the caravan stood the merchants, which were opened by merchants, and naturally there were bosses. The boss makes money and will live a comfortable and even luxurious life, and there is no reason to remain poor. If there is a caravan that does a big business but does not get rich, there must be a problem.

From the analysis of the information gathered for her by the Yakshas, she was able to easily identify a few caravans that had made large transactions in the Western Regions. This would have been difficult to find because it was not in Datang. If it weren't for Yaksha's help in her investigation, she wouldn't have been able to find a clue. Subsequently, through the records of customs clearance documents, she found out the addresses of those caravans in Datang, and when she sent someone to make an unannounced visit, she found that it was not a big business.

This is so abnormal! Because, everything comes and goes, and where does the big money go? Then she found out that these merchants had secretly purchased large quantities of rice and grain and shipped them to some disaster-stricken or impoverished areas.

From this, we know that the great thieves robbed the rich and helped the poor, but did not accumulate wealth themselves. And nobly, he didn't leave a name.

In addition to admiration, she did not startle the snake, because the people in the caravan were only the subordinates of the big thief, they were small people, and in order to find the big thief himself, they also needed to fish. When the relevant people are caught, torture to extract confessions is not her style. Besides, those who can persist in robbing the rich and helping the poor have convictions and ideals, and such people are hard bones and may not be able to find the answer.

"You caught them?" Tong Dongrui gritted his teeth for a long time and asked again.

Chun Tu Yu shook his head, "There are masters and slaves to crimes, and there are big and small responsibilities. For me, the main culprit is the most important. ”

"There's no need to try it, I'm the main culprit. I will bear all the sins. Tong Dongrui said loudly.

I still shook my head, "How can I do that?" I haven't figured out the whole truth yet. You are a high-ranking official from the fourth rank, why do you have to be a thief? Even if you want to help the poor, there are many legitimate ways. ”

"Hmph. Court? Tong Dongrui snorted coldly again, looking very cynical, "The Tang Dynasty has a good year, but there are also places that have suffered disasters year after year, and the news that the imperial court has received has been reported for at least a month or two." By that time, a large number of people had already died. Even if the disaster relief funds are allocated, it is great luck that the people can get 12 out of 10. Disaster relief and disaster relief, every time it is the pockets of corrupt officials! ”

"Makes sense." Chun Tu Yu ignored Bai Shiyi's blocking look. Following Tong Dongrui's words, he said, "But as an official of the imperial court, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the rule of officials, you will not use this kind of folk method." Unless...... You are a citizen of the people, but you are pretending to be an official! ”

Stunned. It's not just Tong Dongrui. Everyone in the court was stunned. This sentence, this answer, is what no one has told in the spring.

"Actually, I didn't even think about that. I just thought it was weird, but I couldn't find the problem. "Then one day, I was wandering down the street in my boredom. Saw two children playing. One of them didn't want to study, and the other said, "We look so similar, why don't I go to school for you, and you just hide and don't appear." ”

"You...... You know ......" Tong Dongrui's voice trembled for the first time.

"At a time when the thieves have repeatedly escaped the encirclement and suppression of the government. I guess there's an inner ghost. Chun Tu was pacing back and forth, which was her habit when she stated the facts, "And this inner ghost must not be a small official." Otherwise, you won't be able to access a lot of core secrets. I made a map of the distribution of the robbers, and found that the cases of the great thieves were all over the Western Regions. However, it is mainly in the four towns of Anxi, and there are the least cases in Qiuzi City. So I think it's the most likely that the inner ghost is in the turtle. It's not because rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, but because they have important positions and have to play the protagonist of chasing, it's difficult to be a doppelganger. ”

"And then?" Hearing that his subordinates may be impostors, Bai Shiyi is more anxious than others.

"Then, I did the timeline again. As a result......" she paused, hoping to make everyone present pay more attention, "The time when the Western Regions Thief appeared was after Tong Changshi came to Anxi Four Towns to take office. Also, Tong Changshi is responsible for the internal affairs of the entire four towns of Anxi, and he will always be out of tolerance. And almost every time I go out, there are big cases in the other three towns. Tong Changshi, you are very careful, afraid that people will suspect you because of the overlapping time, so the time of the crime was chosen after leaving the four towns. But in terms of your martial arts, how can others find out if you sneak back to commit a crime in the middle of the night, and come back the next morning without knowing it? Anyway, those stolen goods, naturally your followers will be transferred, and you don't need to worry about it. Even the caravans that sell the stolen goods have been divided into several of them. I have carefully questioned your men, and one of the scribes who accompanied me remembered a time when he was tired, and when he saw that you were tired, he asked if you were unwell. You replied that it was because you didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. But it was this time that the thief was stabbed in the back when he was being hunted down. Speaking of this, he turned to Bai Shiyi, "Father, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to look at Tong Dongrui's waist later." It is said that the injury was very severe at the time, and it must have left a scar. ”

"Well, I'll verify. You go on first. Bai Shiyi's body couldn't help leaning forward, obviously paying extra attention.

"I heard that Master Tong was transferred from Liaodong." Chun Tu Yu glanced at Du Dongchen, because he was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he had forgotten the record, "I asked someone to go to Liaodong to investigate Qingping for sixteen years, is there anything unusual happening?" That year was the time when Lord Tong traveled long distances to the Western Regions. ”

"What is the result?" Bai Shiyi asked.

……………………………………

……………………………………

………… 66 Have something to say...............

Everyone didn't expect Tong Changshi to be a thief, and they didn't expect that he, an official, was all fake, right? Wakaka, 66 is a case that has been cleverly designed in every possible way, so that everyone can see it without repeating it.
