One hundred and six

It is rare for Lin Boqin to agree with Chu Cheng's thoughts.

Hu Yu walked to the back hall and said, "That little master Qinghui, I came early yesterday morning to receive the order, saying that the adult had personally allowed it. I think he was a monk who couldn't speak, and the money was collected at the city gate, and when the real or false lord came back, he knew it and gave him the order. After speaking, Hu Yu saw that Lin Boqin's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that his subordinates did something wrong?" ”

"Not really."

Lin Boqin hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Hu Yu and Yang La: "The next morning, you take Na Qinghui to all the gambling houses and fireworks places in the county to see if anyone recognizes him." ”

Hu Yu didn't know why, so he scratched his hair: "My lord, where are you going to take the monk...... Wouldn't it be good? ”

Lin Boqin raised his hand and said coldly: "Just do it." ”

Seeing this scene, Chu Cheng hooked the corners of her mouth beside her, as she expected, the problem must be with the monks of Bishui Temple.

There are many things to do after the year, and many documents about taxation and farming have not yet been written, so Lin Boqin plans to rest at the county office tonight. Chu Hui's eyes rolled, but she followed: "Then I will stay with you too!" ”

Hu Yu, who was walking in front on the side, suddenly turned his head when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Madame has been in the county government for so long, and she has never taken the initiative to stay with adults!

Lin Boqin's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he said politely: "It's cold in the yamen, you go back and sleep better." ”

After confessing her intentions, Chu Cheng became more and more unscrupulous, she simply jumped forward and held Lin Boqin's arm coquettishly, "Husband, I just want to be with you." ”

Her voice was soft, and Lin Boqin's heart softened.

He bowed his head in agreement.

The two went to the back room of Santang hand in hand, and Hu Yu rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen a ghost.

"Yang La, this trip, how do you have a relationship with adults...... Something different from usual? ”

Yang La's heart was rough, and he said, "What's the difference? Isn't it always like this? ”

Hu Yu: "......"

When he didn't say hello.

Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin returned to the back room, and Lin Boqin had to pick up the lamp and write documents.

Chu Ji washed up briefly, got into the quilt on the soft couch, exposed one eye, and watched his dark figure reflected on the wall through the screen.

The black figure was dimly lit by the lights, but his straight back and the occasional movement of raising his hand to dip his hand in ink were exceptionally clear.

Chu Ji could almost imagine his concentration under the lamp.

She couldn't help but prop herself up from the couch, tilted her head to support her cheeks, and thought, Lin Boqin is so good, her father and queen mother will definitely like him as a colt, right?

In the silent room, Chu Cheng turned over and heard the sound of Suosuo, and Lin Boqin's voice came through the screen: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I'm waiting for you to sleep together."

When Chu Cheng said this, she almost bit her tongue.

Although she likes to tease him deliberately, her words are too frivolous, and she looks impatient, and she is embarrassed to think about it.

"I'm still early, you go to bed first."

Lin Boqin's voice came, as calm as usual. But the pen hanging in his hand froze, and with a "click", a ball of ink dripped on the rice paper.

Chu Cheng was bored with herself, rolled around on the bed, and then fell asleep with her head covered by the quilt.

I slept unsteadily, and I had several scattered dreams, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember what I had dreamed of.

The couch on her side was cold, Chu Cheng got up and dressed properly, only to find that Lin Boqin was asleep on the desk, and he was not with her at all.

She walked over quickly, and was about to lecture him, but she saw that his head was resting on his arm, revealing his sideways, and the shape of his earlobes was particularly beautiful. Chu Hui's eyes rolled, thinking of the joy of secretly kissing him at the inn that night, so she repeated the same trick, bent down slightly, and dropped a kiss on the side of his cheek.

Chu Ji held back the joy in her heart, and couldn't help but think, this Lin Boqin doesn't eat sweet, how can he kiss sweetly?

Thinking of this, she kissed his earlobe and the corner of his lips again.

What's the name of a word? Well...... Have clandestine affairs with women!

Chu Cheng chuckled lowly, and was about to continue to do something bad, when he suddenly faintly heard Hu Yu's voice outside. She straightened up, took a cloak from the screen and draped it over Lin Boqin, pushed open the door and went out, and asked Hu Yu, "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Yu saw that it was Chu Cheng, and was stunned: "...... Someone suddenly came from outside, claiming to be ...... It is a chivalrous warrior who relieves violence and peace. They arrested a few people from gambling houses and flower houses, saying that these people were related to the case of the merit box in Bishui Temple. ”

Hu Yu said stumbling, and Chu Cheng didn't understand what it meant.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and take a look first, and let the adults sleep for another half an hour." ”

Hu Yu also knew that his adult was working hard, and he would not be in the way for half an hour, so he nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

It's rare that there is no snow today, and the sky is clear. Chu Cheng walked quickly to the court, but was almost slipped by the snow. As soon as she steadied herself and looked up, she saw two tall men tying up a group of people with hemp ropes, and yelling at them to kneel down quickly.

Chu Cheng glanced at the two suspiciously, the two of them were in their thirties, wearing blue felt clothes of the same style, and a pair of gourd-patterned soap boots.

She suddenly realized that these two people were the secret guards of Yuwen Hou's Mansion, and depending on the situation, they had already found clues and sent them to her.

Chu Cheng approached the two of them and confirmed again: "Did Yu Wenyi order you to come?" ”

As soon as the two of them saw Chu Cheng appear, they hurriedly bent down respectfully and nodded: "Gong...... If Madame has anything to say, you can ask this group of people. ”

"What's going on, you guys tell me first."

The secret guard on the left explained that after they received Yu Wenyi's order, they set out to investigate the whereabouts of the silver coins in Bishui Temple overnight. In addition, he went to the gambling house to coerce and lure. At first, these people were ready to hide it, but the methods of the secret guards were not something they could afford to toss, and it didn't take long for them to confess.

Bishui Temple has been taking in orphans for many years, but the money for these orphans is very small, and most of them are embezzled by the monks in the temple. These orphans also have to go to various places to make fate, and only turn their fate into real money, not like lay disciples, but like little beggars on the side of the road.

Every year, the incense of Bishui Temple is very vigorous, combined with the fate of these orphans, and the number is amazing in a year.

The secret guard pointed to one of the gambling house owners: "According to him, every time the monks of Bishui Temple go down the mountain, they will change their appearance, wear a beard and a big hat, and no one can see through it. And these monks are generous, and they can casually touch ten taels of silver ingots. ”

"Whole silver ingots?"

The Great Yuan Dynasty almost did not circulate more than ten taels of whole silver, either silver tickets or broken silver money strings, and only official silver would be minted into whole ingots. However, the official silver can only be used to enter the national treasury, and cannot be circulated among the people, otherwise it is a serious crime to kill the head.

Although the owner of the gambling house didn't know what Chu Cheng's identity was, he saw that she was extremely beautiful and imposing, and the person who arrested him was still respectful to her, and even flattered her and said: "Madam, I still have a silver ingot here, and I am not willing to use it." ”

Chu Cheng raised her eyebrows and stretched out her hand: "Take it." ”

The boss handed over the silver ingot, and Chu Cheng checked it, there were really ten taels. When she looked at the bottom of the silver ingot, there was no inscription, and she knew that it was a remelted silver ingot.

No one melted the broken silver into a whole ingot, only the whole ingot into broken silver.

But the silver that wants to melt the whole ingots is only official silver.

Who dares to dissolve official silver? Who has official money? Who is so bold as to dare to touch the official bank?

Chu Cheng looked at the silver ingot in her hand, and couldn't think of why, she put the silver on the court bill, and turned her head to ask Yang La to detain Master Xuanming and Qinghui of Bishui Temple for torture.

Yang La's legs and feet were sharp, and it didn't take long for Master Xuanming, who had injured his leg, to be carried to the court, and Qinghui was still wiping her tears.

can be seen in Chu Hui's eyes, it is a coy posture.

At this moment, the light outside the public hall dimmed, but Lin Boqin came to the court wearing an official uniform. He passed by Chu Cheng's side and said helplessly: "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?" ”

"You've been tired lately, I want you to rest more, don't be angry, okay?"

Chu Cheng shook her hands, aggrieved, for fear that he would blame.

How could Lin Boqin blame her, he glanced at a large number of people in the court, he was not tired, he just said: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Chu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and talked to him about the ins and outs of the future.

The breath she exhaled was hot, and Lin Boqin's back couldn't help but quietly rise a layer of fine chestnuts, and her earlobes were slightly red.

Chu Cheng didn't notice it, after she finished speaking, she also said angrily: "It's clear that this group of bald donkeys directed and acted by themselves, treating you and me as fools, thinking that they could frame Yu Xuanji and get away with it." ”

Lin Boqin motioned for her not to use foul language.

He picked up the silver ingot and observed, knew it in his heart, patted the shocking wood, and said to Master Xuanming and Qinghui: "The human and material evidence are all there, and the two masters still refuse to recruit them?" ”

Hyun Ming lay on a stretcher and pretended to be dead.

Qinghui couldn't help it, he glanced at the host beside him, and said stubbornly: "The poor monk doesn't understand what the adults are talking about. ”

Lin Boqin was used to seeing these hard-mouthed people, he rubbed his eyebrows, and motioned to the gambling house Qinglou people who were arrested by the secret guards, and identified them one by one.

"Don't look at this Qinghui Master's young age, he is a frequent visitor to our Cuihong Courtyard." "I didn't know he was a monk before, until one day I invited Yue to be emotional and ripped off the wig on his head." "Haha, isn't it, but every time the little master comes to appreciate the turtle gong, he has to reward a string of money, and he is generous."

The owner of the gambling house also answered: "Although I have never met this little master, the abbot likes to dress up as a squire and come to us to gamble money." ”

A group of people were gossiping, but Master Xuanming couldn't do it, so he turned over and sat up, and cried to Lin Boqin: "My lord, it was the old man who was blinded by gold and silver for a while, so he would do such a bad thing, and it has nothing to do with the rest of Bishui Temple. ”

Na Qinghui didn't expect the host to admit his guilt, and suddenly said urgently: "The host abbot, you ...... Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Qinghui, I said a long time ago, Lord Lin is really smarter, you can't fool him." Master Xuanming sighed, "The silver money in the merit box was indeed squandered by me. But in order to give an explanation to the other disciples in the temple, I had to lie that I was snatched away by Yu Xuanji. As for fundraising...... I thought it would be nice to make an extra profit, but I didn't expect it to be a mistake. ”

Lin Boqin asked, "What are you a monk doing with so much money?" ”

Master Xuanming was stunned for a moment, and then said guiltily: "It's just a gamble with itchy hands." ”

Chu Cheng didn't expect that this Xuan Ming was actually a gambler, and he also directed and acted in such a farce, trying to swallow the money in the merit box.

She was speechless: "Husband, this bald donkey is a fool for you." ”

Lin Boqin was helpless: "Don't interrupt." ”

Chu Hui thought about it carefully, in fact, this Qinghui idea was also feasible, if he hadn't wanted to frame Yu Xuanji, maybe he would really be able to get away with it.

"Where did you get the silver ingots that have been consumed by the fire?"

What Chu Cheng can think of, Lin Boqin will naturally think of as well. He directly used the word "fire consumption", which is to affirm that this silver ingot is obtained by official silver.

Master Xuanming raised his head and said blankly: "Lord Qiyu, this old man really doesn't know, maybe which pilgrim left in the merit box. At that time, I was in a hurry to gamble money, but I took a lot of money directly from the merit box. ”

Lin Boqin's expression sank.

Xuan Ming replied like this, he really couldn't refute it, and he couldn't find evidence to refute it.

…… Maybe Xuan Ming really doesn't understand.

Lin Boqin sighed, no matter what, the case of the theft of the merit box can be closed. He was about to open his mouth when he saw a gatekeeper running from the door and shouted, "My lord! There is a woman at the door who calls herself Yu Xuanji, she, she is here to surrender! ”

Chu Cheng stood up straight and blurted out in astonishment: "What?!" ”
