Chapter 171: What is the Spy Bureau
Two months later, Shen Zhao received a letter from Song Beibei.
This time she was much more well-behaved, and she really didn't write anything about Qin Shaoyu again, she was talking about herself throughout.
said that her voice was almost better, and she had grown a little taller. She also said that she raised a few ducks this year, and usually feeds the ducks when she comes back from studying, and watches the fluffy ducklings grow into roast ducks...... Life is very easy.
Song Beibei's letter, like last time, was sent by Yue Mingzhu, and Yue Mingzhu also wrote him a letter and reported to him about the situation in the Jiangnan area.
He said that once the Cao Gang was transporting special items, that thing was afraid of water, and could not take the waterway, so he took the risk of taking the land route, and met mountain bandits on the road, and the result turned out to be the fifth young Song Nanfeng of the Song family who came to the rescue.
At this time, he has become familiar with Song Nanfeng, and found that Song Nanfeng is righteous, jealous and hateful, and has a pure heart.
Yue Mingzhu's letter only mentions this, and does not indicate his attitude towards the Song family.
Now the financial resources and power of the Song family have reached a terrifying level, and although Song Qing is not in the court, he has begun to interfere in the affairs of the court, and those official eunuchs have begun to regard the Song family as a thorn in their side.
Shen Zhao thought about this, and suddenly heard footsteps outside.
He picked up the book and covered the letter, and when he looked up, a subordinate of the spy bureau walked in.
Shen Zhao took the initiative to ask, "Found it?" ”
The man raised his hand and reported: "Back to Lord Lingsi, the Zongren Mansion said that it was a man who broke into the concubine's dormitory at night last night, had an affair with the concubine, and was caught by the guards." Now the man and Concubine Huo have been taken into custody by the Zongren Mansion. ”
Shen Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you find out who that man is?" ”
"That person's name is Song Qing, and before the Long Live Lord ascended the throne, he was a member of the staff of the Long Live Lord. And his subordinates also found out that Song Qing was sent to the concubine's dormitory after being knocked unconscious. ”
Shen Zhao's eyes flashed with calculation, and he smiled lightly: "Hmm." You go down first. ”
Unexpectedly, his fate with the Song family is really not shallow.
I had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach Zongrenfu a lesson, but it happened that the Song family was involved this time, so he sold his favor.
……
In the prison of Zongrenfu, Song Qing was tied to a wooden torture rack, and the barbed wrist rings had blurred the flesh and blood of his hands.
In front of him was a hot charcoal basin, a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of a second-grade courtier, holding a torture iron in his hand, and the soldering iron on the top had been burned red.
The man saw that it was almost burned, lifted the soldering iron, and walked towards Song Qing.
"Song Gongzi is so big, you said that you are so good-looking, you can be regarded as a suave man, the jade tree is in the wind, why can't you think about it so much, to seduce the woman of the first emperor?"
Song Qing had already explained the truth about last night, but no matter what he said, all he was waiting for was a new round of torture.
He simply didn't explain, looked at the man in front of him directly, and called him by his name: "Wang Yao, you slandered me for having an adulterous affair with the concubine, but my friend Lord Cen found out that you were in cahoots with your nephew, and you were a thief, and you wanted to threaten Lord Cen when you arrested me." I advise you to stop dreaming! Cen Mu has an upright temperament and will never be coerced by you! ”
Wang was stunned for a moment, was poked in the center of thought, and became angry: "You are talking nonsense! ”
"The Dayong Sailor is at war with the neighbors, Wang Luo you pretend to be public and private, let your nephew be in charge of shipbuilding, your nephew is corrupt and perverts the law, but you turn a blind eye, causing the ship to sink as soon as it goes to sea, the Dayong Sailor is not in the army, thousands of soldiers are buried in the belly of the fish, but you hide this matter in order to protect your nephew's life, Wang Wander, dream back at midnight, you are afraid of those soldiers asking for their lives?"
The king had no way to argue, but there was no one here, and he didn't need to argue.
He raised the soldering iron in his hand and said with a hideous face: "Toast and don't eat and punish wine!" ”
Just as he was about to press the soldering iron to Song Qing's chest, an arrow flew over with a "whoosh", and actually cut off the soldering iron in his hand!
Wang Luo was startled, and hurriedly took a step back to avoid the falling soldering iron from hitting his feet, but he forgot that behind him was a hot charcoal basin.
He tripped over the torture instrument under his feet again, and fell straight into the coalbed.
Wang Luo shouted, jumped up and slapped the fire on his buttocks, although it was extinguished in time, but all the official uniforms on his buttocks were burned out.
Song Qing saw that his hot red ass was directly exposed, and laughed out loud without concealment.
Wang Luo gritted his teeth, but this was not the time to continue targeting Song Qing.
The Zongren Mansion is heavily guarded, where did this inexplicable arrow fly from?
He subconsciously looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, and saw Shen Zhao walking in with a few people from the spy bureau. They are at ease, as if they were in a no-man's land.
"Lord Wang, what about the trial?" Shen Zhao smiled with a smile, but this smile was extremely cold.
Wang Luo's eyelids jumped...... Originally, the Dayong court tried the case, the courtiers were in charge of Dali Temple, and the royal family was in charge of the Zongren Palace. However, later, the power of the spy bureau grew, and only small cases that the spy bureau did not accept were the turn of Dali Temple.
Now...... Do they want to even take care of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion?
Wang Luo faced him head-on, not letting him see his red-hot buttocks, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Shen Zhao casually sat on the only chair here, supported his face with one hand, and asked with a grin, "What case?" Tell me about it. ”
Really! He even has to take care of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion!
Wang Luo was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he lowered his voice and said, "The matter of the Zongren Mansion, why bother the little master Shen, our Zongren Mansion will solve it." ”
"Really?" Shen Zhao asked lightly, "The spy bureau is ordered by the Lord of Long Live to supervise all the officials in the court, Lord Wang, I just heard what Song Qing said, your nephew is corrupt and perverts the law, and you should also avoid suspicion." This matter should be handed over to our spy bureau for trial. ”
Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, pulled out a flattering smile, and said: "Lord Shen, the two families of King Shen are also world friends, and I have a friendship with your father for more than 20 years, I can also call the little overseer a 'virtuous nephew', I don't know if the virtuous nephew is willing to give face?" ”
Shen Zhao suddenly laughed, as if he had heard some funny joke, and he didn't stop laughing for a long time.
Such a handsome young man, and his laughter was also very hearty, which should have been a pleasing picture, but Wang Luo only felt creepy.
He hesitated for a moment, but laughed alongside.
Shen Zhao stopped laughing, stood up, forced Wang Luo to look at him, and said to him word by word: "We spy bureau, no one buys face." ”
After that, he instructed his subordinates: "Take the people away." ”
Wang Luo didn't dare to stop him, thinking that the key to unlocking the chains was still on him, and he should be able to delay for a while.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Shen Zhao's subordinates directly tore off the wrist ring made of fine iron, split the chains, and directly rescued Song Qing!
When Wang Yu couldn't close his mouth in shock, Shen Zhao turned around and took a wooden box from his subordinates.
He stuffed the wooden box into Wang Yao's hand, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Wang, my nephew didn't come to see you empty-handed this time, he brought you a gift, let's see if you like it." ”
