Chapter 68: Evidence of Guilt in Both Directions

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, when it was just getting dark.

After a hangover, Zhao Shou slowly opened his eyes.

Rubbing his dazed head, he slowly sat up from the bed.

Take a few deep breaths to suppress the feeling of dry mouth after a hangover.

His eyes slowly turned with a slight confusion.

After seeing the teapot and two porcelain bowls on the small table in the bedroom.

Zhao Shou slowly got up from the bed.

Walk to the small table, remove the lid, and drink straight up.

The cold tea ran down his throat and into his lungs, dousing the last trace of fiery alcohol in his stomach.

"Whew~!"

Zhao Shou put down the teapot in his hand and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, and a pot of cold tea entered his stomach, which was really comfortable.

At this time, Zhao Shou's eyes returned to clarity.

The last memories of last night are starting to come back to me.

Zhao Shou looked at the two porcelain bowls placed on the small table, one of which was prepared by Xu Yi for him to drink.

Another empty porcelain bowl, but last night it was a decanting soup.

Zhao Shou looked at the two porcelain bowls, and his heart instantly warmed.

Walking towards the neatly folded clothes, he didn't have to think about who had stripped him of his clothes last night.

"Sixth Master."

Zhao Shou hugged the neatly folded clothes, and muttered with slightly moist eyes.

The next second.

Zhao Shou seemed to suddenly think of something.

Quickly spread out the neatly stacked clothes.

The palm of his hand instantly reached for the sleeve of the shirt, and after feeling the texture of the paper coming from the sleeve.

Zhao Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good that I didn't lose it, but I didn't lose it." ”

After the words fell, Zhao Shou quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the door.

At this time, it was just dawning, and the door of the main house was still closed.

Zhao Shou glanced at the closed door of the main house, and then walked to the kitchen.

Familiar with the road to light fire, boil water, and cook.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhao Shou, who was originally busy in the kitchen, suddenly heard a creaking sound from the main house.

The sixth master woke up.

Zhao Shou glanced at the stove, then got up and trotted out of the kitchen.

"It's still early, why don't you sleep more."

Before Zhao Shou could greet him, Xu Yi asked.

"Sleep well." Zhao Shou grinned and said, "By the way, it seems that I haven't reported the situation to the sixth master last night. ”

Zhao Shou knew what kind of character his sixth master was, so he didn't mention what happened after he got drunk last night.

But in my heart, I have already engraved the events of last night deeply in the deepest part of my heart.

Xu Yi walked into the small courtyard.

While slowly posing for the eight Vajra Gong starting poses, he asked, "What happened last night?" ”

Zhao Shou grinned and walked in front of Xu Yi.

He took out a thick wad of silver tickets from his sleeve and said, "Five hundred and fifteen taels." ”

Xu Yi paused for a moment, then looked at the silver ticket in Zhao Shou's hand and asked, "Who gave it?" ”

Zhao Shou replied without hesitation: "The master of the sixth room did not go except for the master of the torture room. ”

"The other five rooms were given fifty taels of silver tickets each."

"In the three classes and six rooms, the head of the soap class gave twenty taels, and the head of the strong class and the fast class each gave thirty taels."

"The rest is given by the wardens, from one or two to ten taels."

Xu Yi looked at the thick pile of silver tickets in Zhao Shou's hand and was silent for a long time.

"Sixth Master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Xu Yi had not spoken for a long time, Zhao Shou couldn't help but feel worried.

Following Xu Yi's line of sight, he looked at the silver ticket in his hand.

Zhao Shou asked worriedly: "Sixth Master, shouldn't you take their money?" ”

"One...... At first I thought...... Thinking that they gave money tickets were bribery, it was considered evidence of crime. ”

Xu Yi sighed and said slowly: "It's criminal evidence, it's just the evidence of the crimes of both sides, they paid bribes, and I accepted bribes." ”

"Ahh Zhao Shou exclaimed, and the silver ticket in his hand spilled on the ground.

Zhao Shou didn't care about the silver tickets, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do, or the sixth master will go and return the silver tickets to them now." ”

Xu Yi shook his head and said slowly, "It's late." ”

"What then, what then!" Zhao Shou was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Suddenly.

Zhao Shou paused and said, "Otherwise, I'll turn myself in!" Let's just say that I want to collect this money myself! ”

Obviously, Zhao Shou has completely messed up.

Xu Yi shook his head and said softly: "Do you think Your Majesty will believe it, or will the civil and military officials believe it?" Or will the people of Chang'an City believe it? ”

Zhao Shou is Xu Yi's servant, and Zhao Shou's behavior represents Xu Yi's behavior to a certain extent.

"What then, what then!" Zhao Shou was really anxious to cry without tears.

Xu Yi scolded with a straight face: "What are you panicking about? How do you be taught on weekdays? ”

Zhao Shouyan was stunned for a moment, and then replied reflexively: "Think twice beforehand, don't panic in case of trouble, and be calm." ”

Xu Yi's face softened and said, "Then look at your current appearance, do you have a little bit of a calm and calm look?" ”

"When you receive these silver taels, do you think twice?"

Zhao Shou couldn't help lowering his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "I know it's wrong Sixth Master." ”

"But it's really going to hurt you." Zhao Shou raised his head and looked at Xu Yi, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.

Even if he was arrested and beheaded the next moment, he was not afraid, the only thing he was afraid of was that Xu Yi would be affected.

Xu Yi stepped forward, gently patted Zhao Shou's shoulder and said softly: "Put those aside first, listen to me, come, take a deep breath." ”

"Inhale."

"Exhale."

After going back and forth more than ten times, Zhao Shou finally gradually regained his calm.

Xu Yi looked at Zhao Shou and asked, "Let me ask you, why did those master books give you silver taels." ”

Zhao Shou pondered for a moment and replied: "You want to bribe the sixth master through me, leave evidence of the crimes of both parties, and tie the sixth master to the same boat as them." ”

Xu Yi nodded and asked, "Is there any other reason besides this?" ”

This time, Zhao Shou was silent for a lot longer than the last time.

A moment later.

Zhao Shou scratched his head and replied, "If I don't give the money to the sixth master, they can use this to threaten me, which is equivalent to grabbing my handle, so that I must obey their orders." ”

Xu Yi nodded and asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhao Shou's face changed and he replied: "No, no, the sixth master said just now that as long as I accept this money, it will be regarded as the sixth master's receipt to a certain extent." ”

"Yes." Zhao Shou scratched his head and continued: "But as the Sixth Master just said, this is evidence of the crimes of both sides, they shouldn't be so mad that they hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage themselves by eight hundred, right?" ”

Xu Yi did not answer Zhao Shou's question, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhao Shou thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and replied in a low voice, "I can't think of it." ”

Being able to think of so much is enough to show that Zhao Shou himself is not stupid, it is just that his understanding of people's hearts is sinister enough.
