The officials were stunned, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't dare to squeak, I don't know if the adults were drunk and talking nonsense this week or if they had other things on their minds.

"Lord Zhou......" Someone stepped forward and asked timidly, and then didn't dare to speak again, while Zhou Yunkai stood up straight and said to the officials, "I was dedicated to working with everyone, but there are still people among you who are meticulous!"

Zhou Yunkai drew his sword and pointed angrily at the crowd, his face uncontrollable.

I saw that the officials were stunned, and they hurriedly waved their hands and said that they were with Zhou Yunkai, how could anyone be meticulous.

"I don't believe it! Someone just reported to me that someone among you is actually the emperor's personal envoy, who is it!"

Zhou Yunkai said angrily.

"It's not a lower official, it's not, it's not!"

"The lower officials are single-minded and the adults are of the same mind, how can they be meticulous, no. ”

Forty officials, led by Wang Shizhi, the assassin of Yangzhou, knelt on the ground one after another, expressing their heartfelt intentions.

"Well, since everyone wants to show their hearts, sign this silk, otherwise I won't dare to believe it. Zhou Yunkai said that, he took out the silk in his arms and threw it on the ground, turned around and said.

"This ...... This ......" The officials were stupid, didn't they force themselves to a dead end, saying that they couldn't sign anything.

Zhou Yunkai saw that all the officials were hesitant, only hung their heads and did not write, and suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "General Dong Jian's words are true, no one is with me, and each of them hides their selfish intentions, but they just try it and reveal their stuffing." Thanks to General Dong Jian, I was asked to come to the test to see what people who did not want to sign their names had in mind. ”

Zhou Yunkai was angry, frightened the officials, Wang Shizhi hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Lord Zhou is angry, Lord Zhou is angry, the lower officials and the general are of the same mind, how can there be a mistake, this signature is signed, signed." ”

Wang Shizhi said that, in order to please Dong Jian, he first signed his name on the silk, and then retired with a smile.

Everyone behind him saw that Wang Shizhi had already signed his name, and they all signed his name in a hurry. Before long, all forty names were signed on the cloth and presented in front of Zhou Yunkai.

Zhou Yunkai held the silk, and finally smiled, holding the silk tightly in his hand.

"Forty officials in Yangzhou embezzled disaster relief funds, and they signed in hand, who else wants to deny it?"

"Ahh

"What do you think this official is doing in Yangzhou? Do you think that this official and General Dong Jian are really eating, drinking, and having fun with you? Do you really think that the general is embezzling disaster relief funds with you? Hmm? This is just a ploy by this official and the general, if you don't do this, how can you find out these rats crossing the street!"

Zhou Yunkai's words made everyone paralyze in fright, looking at each other, stunned for a long time.

"The evidence is conclusive, there is nothing to deny, wait for the execution, and the officer can call the soldiers on the other side of the river to arrest you in the future. Zhou Yunkai waved his sleeves and said angrily.

The ministers looked out the window at the riverbank, a large group of cavalry was patrolling in front of and behind the inn, and at this time, Zhou Yunkai hit the handful of melon seeds in his hand on the eaves outside the window, making it look like someone outside was responding. The ministers were frightened and finally believed Zhou Yunkai's words.

"Lord Zhou! What do you mean by this! Lord Zhou, we are of the same mind as General Dong Jian, Lord Zhou!" Wang Shizhi knelt on the ground and shouted, and bowed to the ground again and again. Behind him, all the ministers shouted and fell to the ground and bowed.

"One heart? General Dong Jianda transported all the 100,000 yuan of gold for disaster relief to Yangzhou to prepare for distribution? You are such an honest minister, and you have the same heart as you? There is no shame! The general has already denounced you, otherwise how would this official know that you are corrupt, and the general is a real hero!" Zhou Yunkai bowed to the door.

"Your Excellency. That Dong Jian embezzled more than 100,000 taels, and only released a small part of what kind of honest minister is it!"

"Yes, Lord Zhou, how dare our petty officials embezzle too much, but they just caught a little oil and water, and the big head is all in the hands of General Dong Jian!"

"At least, at least a million taels!" the official shouted on his knees.

A million taels, good boy. Zhou Yunkai smiled angrily, frowned in the face of the officials, and said sternly: "If you don't have any evidence, you can't slander the general!"

"Why is there no evidence! There are letters between the general and us. Wang Shizhi cried.

"Oh, you can take it with you. Zhou Yunkai raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, today is an adult, I am afraid that something will happen to the lower officials...... I sewed it into my underwear. Then he took off his coat, poked out his underwear and tore it, and presented the letter.

Zhou Yun opened his eyes and saw that it was really Dong Jian, so the favorable evidence was in hand!

"In this case, then Dong Jian can't deny it, if you still have any evidence to confess, submit it, and then hand over the embezzled money, this official can forgive you for not dying, adults, please think twice. ”

Hearing this, all the officials seemed to have won a gold medal for exoneration, confessing how much they had embezzled and when they embezzled, but it was just a drop in the bucket for Tung Chien's corruption. He also jointly wrote Dong Jian's indictment and handed it over to Zhou Yunkai.

"Very good, everyone is here today, immediately send the embezzled money to the inn across the river, and send it to the whole before dark, if there is a point missing, the official will severely punish it!"

"Yes!

Immediately, Zhou Yunkai and the officials went out of the restaurant all over the world, and the officials drove back to their homes, and after a while, they successively piled up all the disaster relief money in the backyard of the inn, and the soldiers brought by Dong Jian personally took the lead.

The officials were busy sweating profusely, transporting them one by one, and the scene of hundreds of officials going back and forth in the city was shocked, which was incredible.

At this time, Zhou Yunkai had already galloped to Hanshui Pass.

Outside a small inn, there was a number of carriages from Qingyuan, Zhou Yunkai pushed open the door of the inn, picked up Xiao Er, and said urgently, "What about Qingyuan?"

"Ah, Daxia, who are you looking for?" Xiao Er asked in a panic.

"A general!"

"Second ...... on the left hand side of the second floor"

Zhou Yunkai left Xiao Er, ran upstairs quickly, and pushed open the door of Qingyuan.

"Who is bold!" Qingyuan drew his sword to counteract, but when he saw that it was Zhou Yunkai, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's too late! General Qing. I saw Zhou Yunkai hurriedly cover the door, pulled Qingyuan in front of him, knelt down and bowed, and solemnly said, "General Qing, please save the people of Yangzhou!"

Qingyuan was stunned and didn't understand why.

At this time, Zhou Yunkai took out two pieces of cloth and presented them to his head: "This is the joint name of the corrupt officials in Yangzhou, and the other is the one million money jointly reported on Dong Jian's embezzlement, and a letter is attached to it, which is the correspondence between Dong Jian and Wang Shizhi, the assassin of Yangzhou, which contains the details of Dong Jian's collusion with officials, and asks the Qing general to send it to Zi'an urgently for 800 miles!

Qingyuan held the letter and looked at it for a while, squinted at Zhou Yunkai and said, "Why should I believe you?"

Zhou Yunkai frowned, rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the cinnabar mole on his wrist.

"Ahh......h

"Exactly! The little nephew is the thief that night, I am deeply sorry for this, and I ask the general to forgive the little nephew for being abrupt, the little nephew has no choice, and today it is a last resort to expose the general's gold, because the little nephew is of great use, without the 100,000 real money, the officials will not believe that Dong Jian really allocated the disaster relief money, and will not hand over the embezzled money, please believe me, I guarantee with my life, there is no half of the lie!"

Qing Yuan saw that Zhou Yunkai was the thief that night, and it seemed that Zhou Yunkai had also taken great pains to save the flood, so he couldn't help but feel shocked and helped Zhou Yunkai up.

"Why don't you go with me, otherwise Dong Jian will know about it, and he won't break your body into thousands of pieces!"

"No, if I leave, the money will be collected by Dong Jian, and the plan will be completely ruined. If I don't go, he won't know where I'll leave my letters, and he will buy the general some time. The general doesn't have to worry about me, please hand over this object to the emperor, even if I die and the money is collected by Dong Jian, as long as there is this list and letters, the emperor can still eradicate the corrupt officials, my life is thin, and there is no big problem in death, so please don't worry about it, and hurry to Zi'an without stopping!

Qingyuan nodded heavily, he didn't expect Zhou Yunkai to be such a person who understood righteousness, he bowed to Zhou Yunkai with tears in his eyes, got up and put the cloth and letter into his arms and said, "Lord Zhou, think about it again, whether to go with the old man!"

Zhou Yunkai bowed and shook his head, got up and said solemnly, "I will die for 100,000 people, it's worth it." ”
