After sending Sun Ning to the gentle township that he had specially arranged for him, Qiao Qiushan did not go back to rest, although it had been nearly three watches.

Accompanied by two attendants, he hurried to the courtyard outside and into a room that was still brightly lit. And in this room, there were already several officials from the Wubao waiting there at this time.

They all had five or six points of wine, obviously a little tired and sleepy, but after seeing Qiao Qiushan arrive, they all cheered up and got up and saluted: "I've seen my lord......

"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." Qiao Qiushan naturally sat at the top, took a cup of strong tea and drank two sips, so that he could be more energetic.

"My lord, is that Ning Xun settled? Is he satisfied with our preparation?" One of the subordinates immediately asked. Although the others did not speak, they all looked at Master Qiao sitting on the top with anticipation at this time, the other party was the backbone of themselves and others.

Putting down the cup, Qiao Qiushan's expression was a little solemn: "This person is not ordinary, I'm afraid it will be a little tricky this time."

"Why do you say that? Although this Ning Xun looks extraordinary, it shouldn't be an exception, right? Those who were sent by the imperial court in the past......

"In the past, those people said that they were ordered by the imperial court to come to inquire about the Tang family's prisoners, but none of them would ask to see Tang Shouheng. Obviously, they didn't even know that there was Tang Shouheng, and when they came to us, they were just going through the motions.

"So as long as we give them some benefits and make friends again, they will naturally turn a blind eye and will not be embarrassed."

Qiao Qiushan said with a solemn expression: "But this Ning Xun is different, one is his identity, what kind of yamen is Wuyisi, even if we are in the southwest, we already know something, right?" I even suspect that this is something from Wu Yisi's eyeliner, so Master Guo will send someone to investigate."

"It can't be. As soon as we put our minds on the inside, there is no way that anyone will leak the inside information......

"Of course, our internal brothers don't need to be suspicious, but what if there is a problem with those officials sent by the imperial court to us and have been entertained, and they happen to be taken down by Wuyisi and ask something from their mouths?"

Qiao Qiushan's speculation immediately made everyone present stunned. Indeed, this is the flaw that is most likely to be seen by the well-informed Uyiji.

Seeing this, he sighed lightly, and said with annoyance: "It's also my fault, I still underestimated Wuyisi's ability, everyone has always thought that the emperor of the mountain is far away, as long as the people sent by the imperial court are taken care of, everything will be fine."

"Now it seems that the future is still very serious, and we must be more prepared in the future."

"So what should I do this time?"

"I have already given him three times the benefits, and the gold and silver are touching, and I don't believe that he can really make an exception."

"Three times, that's three hundred taels of gold?" Everyone was stunned, it was all in time to catch up with the harvest they had worked hard for several years here, it was really painful.

"There is no way to do this, if you want to be stable and earn more in the future, this investment is indispensable. Also, the little Oiran ...... If he knows what to eat, I'm going to give it to him as well, as long as he asks."

"That's a lot of money, and I can't buy it without a few thousand taels."

Qiao Qiushan exhaled: "As long as you can pass the test this time, it is not a problem to spend more money, and you will always be able to earn it back in the future."

After everyone groaned, they all nodded yes.

Indeed, in the long run, from the perspective of their own safety, this effort is still worth it.

But soon, someone still raised a little objection: "My lord, I think there is still a little bit of insecurity, what if this Ning Xun is really different and not moved by wealth?"

Qiao Qiushan nodded, although there are very few such people, he can't guarantee that there will be none. Then I saw his expression: "Then you need to cooperate with me and do a good job with him."

"What do you mean ......?"

"I've already asked people to hurry up the work, and the storehouse can do it tonight. As long as he is not determined to be an enemy of us, this matter can still be covered up calmly."

"Your Excellency is really wise, and you have no last resort."

"But there's one more thing, that Tang Shouheng...... This person knows everything, once he meets with the person surnamed Ning, he denounces us......

"That's a big problem, so I just had him brought up." Qiao Qiushan smiled, he had calculated everything this time.

At this moment, as if to show his Lord Qiao's wisdom, someone knocked on the door immediately outside the door and reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, the criminal prisoner Tang Shouheng has been brought."

"Bring him in." Qiao Qiushan commanded in a deep voice.

A moment later, a rickety man with a face full of vicissitudes and a long time since his handsome and chic appearance was tied with handcuffs and shackles, and staggered into the room under the guard of many elites in the army.

I don't know if it's because of years of suffering and suffering too many sins, Tang Shouheng looked quite sluggish and numb at this time, and after being forced to kneel, he didn't react much.

After a while, under Qiao Qiushan's scolding, he raised his head slightly: "I've seen Lord Qiao......

"You guys are really, how can you treat our Tang Sect Master like this? Unshackle him quickly, and invite him to sit down and talk." Qiao Qiushan showed a caring and polite look at this time, and asked Tang Shouheng to sit down on a chair at the bottom of the head.

Although the shackles were indeed unfastened, several of the buckles on his back that had penetrated the pipa bone were firmly fastened there, and after he was seated, two elites also stood behind him, the tips of their knives faintly against his back, so that he could take his life at any time.

In this regard, Tang Shouheng was still the calm and numb appearance of ignorance, and only looked ahead calmly.

"Master of the Tang Sect, we have also been friends for many years, and I remember that when the imperial court imprisoned you, I was here on an errand and watched you. Although I was somewhat offended before, I haven't treated you badly since I sat in my current position, have I?"

In the face of his almost rhetoric, Tang Shouheng didn't react at all, as if he hadn't listened to anything.

Qiao Qiushan was not annoyed, and still said calmly: "I know that you actually know everything in your heart, don't worry, I didn't want to treat you badly because of this today.

"Who made these good craftsmen of your Tang family our God of Wealth? You, in particular, haven't brought us a lot of profit over the years, so I won't be surprised by your reaction.

"But this time, there is one thing you still have to help me, as long as this time is settled, I will give you half a year off, that is, those prisoners in the Nether Prison, I can also let them out......
