In the county office, Xu Lizhen listened to the words of the "jailer" with some curiosity.

After listening to him talk about what happened in prison, he said, "Who said that?" ”

The man was wearing the clothes of a "jailer", but it was Xu Lizhen who brought him from the capital: "It's the entourage named Xue Nuo next to Lord Xiao Shen, and he said that he should let the adults not overdo it." ”

"I remember that after throwing them in prison yesterday afternoon, it was the kid who paid off the prison guards?" Xu Lizhen said to the side.

Standing next to him was the one who scolded Shen Qi with a cane yesterday, the person who claimed to be from the palace criminal department, his name was Zhu Sheng.

Zhu Sheng replied: "After he went to prison yesterday, he spent money to buy off the jailer, and let people change him to Shen Ke's side to see his injuries, and when everyone else around Shen Ke was still making trouble, he was already extremely quiet, as if he knew the intentions of adults." ”

"It's a clever one."

Xu Lizhen remembered the scene of seeing Xue Nuo a few times before, obviously it was a very eye-catching face, but the child's sense of presence was extremely low.

Later, he forgot several times that Xue Nuo was the beginning of the Hu family's matter.

"Have you checked that Xerno?"

"I have already checked, it is indeed a refugee from Yanling, there are many people who are on the same road as their sisters and brothers, and when they lived in the Guanyin Temple later, many people also knew about them."

"Xue Nuo's sister is very good-looking, she has had a few troubles before, and then she met Chai Chunhua, he not only wanted to take the opportunity to pull the Hu family into the water, but also happened to see Hunting Xinxi, so he directly took people away."

"After the girl jumped into the river, Xue Nuo begged Shen Ke, and this is why the Hujia private mine was turned over."

The Hu family's incident was too coincidental, but Shen appeared suddenly, and the cause of the Xue Nuo sister and brother and the Hu family was even more bizarre, so Zhu Sheng went to check the background of the Xue Nuo early in the morning.

It's a pity that nothing was found.

That kid is clean and innocent, and he is indeed a refugee from Yanling.

"What about Shen Ke, what is he doing in Qi Town?"

"It's not clear for the time being, our people followed his trail all the way, and found that after leaving from Mr. Xie, they went to many places, and everywhere they went, they would go to the nearby Shantang and Yugutang to donate food and silver, and after arriving in Qizhen, they also gave relief to the victims."

Xu Lizhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Don't tell me, he came here to do good deeds and accumulate virtues?" ”

Zhu Sheng: "......"

Xu Lizhen was not angry: "You said that he happened to come here, or he came to the Hu family, it is better than this set of words!" ”

Zhu Sheng also felt that his statement was a little ridiculous, and hurriedly lowered his head: "I will continue to investigate." ”

"Forget it, don't look it up."

Xu Lizhen said coldly, no matter what Shen came for, he was finally mixed into the lucky matter of illegal salt, even if he really found out something, it was just that, and it would only be a waste of effort to continue to investigate.

The person who was talking back and forth in the prison looked at his adult annoyed and couldn't help but whisper: "My lord, where is the prison?" ”

"That little Lord Shen has a high fever, and his face is also burning red, and his subordinates have taken a look at the situation and the situation is indeed not very good, if you don't invite a doctor, I'm afraid that something will really happen......"

"Go ahead, please, don't really let him die." Xu Lizhen said impatiently, "When people come, they will be taken directly to the prison to save their lives, and nothing else will be done." ”

When the man heard this, he instantly understood that his own adult had not made Shen suffer enough, and invited a doctor to only save his life, but he didn't want to let people out.

He nodded, and then hurried out to ask for a doctor.

After Zhu Sheng and the others left, they couldn't help but ask: "My lord, I know that you are angry but troublesome, but since you have already asked him to ask for a doctor, why do you still leave people in prison." ”

"I'm afraid that the people from the Cao Yun Division will come here in the next two days, if they see that Shen Qi is seriously injured, they will definitely use Shen Qi's affairs to trouble you at that time?"

"What's the trouble for me, I'm just doing things according to the rules and receiving the emperor's order to track down the whereabouts of the account books, but Shen sent the account books of the Hu family to Cao Si without authorization, there is a suspicion of collusion with others, and the official is eager to investigate the case so that he can be punished a little bit, who can say that the official has half a typo?"

Xu Lizhen didn't care, "Besides, if you get people out of prison right now, that's what people will talk about." ”

Zhu Sheng was puzzled when he heard this.

Xu Lizhen looked at him: "Shen is in prison because he secretly hid the account books and colluded with Cao Si, and if Cao Si's people don't send the account books back, he will be guilty one day." ”

"But now that the people from Caosi haven't come yet, I'll take the initiative to release them, do you know what that means?"

Zhu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, if he took the initiative to release Shen Qi at this time, wouldn't he just tell everyone that the adults scolded Shen for selfishness, and it had nothing to do with the luck of the smuggling salt and the account books of the Hu family?

"It's the stupidity of the subordinates."

Xu Lizhen stretched out his hand and fiddled with the wick in front of him, and the light in the room swayed: "Don't worry about Shen Ke's affairs, people can't die, but this time it's a trip to the south for nothing." ”

Zhu Sheng couldn't help but say on the side: "Actually, it's not for nothing, isn't that Chai Chunhua still in the hands of adults?" After returning to Beijing, the Third Prince and the Chengguo Mansion will definitely thank the adults, and although we haven't got the account book, there will definitely be a big move in Caoyun this time, and the adults can also take the opportunity to put a few people in. ”

"And on the side of the fourth prince, the lord swept his tail for him, which can be regarded as a great favor for him."

Xu Lizhen lowered his eyes when he heard this, what he wanted was not the favor of the four princes.

Originally, he accidentally knew that the smuggling of salt was lucky, and he took the opportunity to go south, because he wanted to use the Hu family's things to get some officials and recruit those people under his command, but he knew that he was mixed up by Shen Ke.

Hu Shenglin conspired with others to smuggle salt is ironclad and criminal, and Hu Shengquan, the head of the capital, will be implicated to some extent, and the four princes have broken their arms, even if they remember other favors, it is limited.

Xu Lizhen straightened the wick: "When the people from Caosi come, they will prepare to return to Chengzhou." ”

Zhu Sheng asked, "My lord wants to try this case?" ”

"Of course."

Xu Lizhen played with the small wooden stick in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly and said,

"Since the account books can't be obtained, then how to try it, not only to try it, but also to handle the case beautifully."

If you can't get the benefits of Cao Yun, you have to occupy Your Majesty's side.

His Majesty cares about Caoyun, he knows, but the people sent in the past few years have not been able to penetrate into the depths of Caosi, since this is the case, then he might as well use this incident as a knocking drill, and handle the case of smuggling salt luck beautifully.

As he spoke, he threw the small wooden stick in his hand towards the table, and it fell on the table with a "pop".

"I've been the inspector of the imperial history for almost three years, and it's time to move."

"Then Cui-sama's ......"

"Let him be in peace, don't cause trouble."

"Yes."
