"Mr. Tang, huh?" Zhao Yizhi asked the slightly rich old man in front of him.

"Grass people, Tang Yousheng greets Your Majesty." The fat old man respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Yizhi.

Zhao Yizhi smiled and asked softly: "No courtesy, Mr. Tang, is it still comfortable to be a bookkeeper in the Taishi Mansion?" ”

Tang Yousheng hurriedly replied: "I am old, old and frail, I just ask for an errand to live for food and clothing, and I don't dare to ask for 'comfort', master... Ah, Mrs. Li saw that the villain could read a few words, so he let the villain be a bookkeeper, but he was incompetent, and the villain was ashamed. ”

"That's enough, I'm not looking for you to talk about this!" Zhao Yizhi's patience has been exhausted by this Tang Yousheng's sloppy eyes, "I ask you, did Steward Liu Tai and Liu take a sum of money from you and hand it over to Liu Mouse, so that Liu Mouse's son could find someone to assassinate me?" ”

Zhao Yizhi asked directly, which not only startled Tang Yousheng, but also made Wang Zhenliang on the side feel a little uncomfortable, "Your Majesty is too direct..."

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing, the grass people don't know about it!" Tang Yousheng looked up blankly and looked at Zhao Yizhi.

"Bold! Do you dare to look directly at the king and intend to assassinate the king? Wang Zhenliang shouted on the side.

Tang Yousheng was so panicked that he fell down again, his fat body trembled, and he looked very scared.

Zhao Yizhi beckoned to Wang Zhenliang, Wang Zhenliang hurriedly took a handful of account books from the little eunuch beside him, and respectfully presented them to Zhao Yizhi, Zhao Yizhi opened the account book and looked at it. After reading it again, he handed it to Wang Zhenliang: "Read." ”

Wang Zhenliang took the account book and read it: "On the ninth day of the seventh month of the third year of Qingguan, Aunt Zhang bought cloth with one or two pieces of silver; On the eleventh day of July in the third year of Qingguan, the small four silver branches went home in two; On the thirteenth day of July in the third year of Qingguan, Steward Liu paid five hundred taels of silver to buy candles..."

"Alright, that's it." Zhao Yizhi interrupted, and asked Tang Yousheng instead: "This housekeeper Liu paid five hundred taels of silver to buy candles?" What's the matter? Have you ever bought the candle back? ”

Tang Yousheng's eyes rolled and he replied: "It's true, it's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Taishi Li said that it was too cold in previous years, and he wanted to be more lively this year." Therefore, Steward Liu spent a lot of silver taels to buy candles..."

"Five hundred taels!" Zhao Yizhi raised his volume slightly, "Five hundred taels of candle flames, the Taishi Mansion can be burned!" Where is the candle flame? ”

"Candle flames... Candle... Steward Liu paid more silver taels to the shopkeeper, saying that it was stored in the account, and it would be handled every major festival in the future, and it would be too troublesome to withdraw it again and again, so..."

"Bastard!" Zhao Yizhi snorted lightly. Tang Yousheng hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.

Zhao Yizhi looked at Tang Yousheng and was a little angry, but since the other party bit it to death and said that it was to buy fireworks, how much could the emperor control how many fireworks people bought? For a while, Zhao Yizhi couldn't do anything about him.

"Manager Wang, take him down first, and this account book, interrogate every one well, and let him make up a good reason for me! Remember, lock up with Steward Liu and let them make a good confession! Zhao Yizhi threw the account book in front of Tang Yousheng.

Wang Zhenliang and Tang Yousheng were both taken aback, what does this mean? Regardless of whether this crime is true or not, how can there be a reason to catch a criminal and let people collude confessions! However, seeing that Zhao Yizhi didn't look like a joke, Wang Zhenliang had no choice but to respond.

Tang Yousheng saw that Zhao Yizhi couldn't catch any of his handles, so he had the heart to complain about injustice, but after thinking about it, in front of the emperor, even his own master had to bow his head, why did he bother to confront the emperor at this time? If the old man wins the game, he will naturally get himself out. Thinking about it like this, Tang Yousheng didn't say anything, said goodbye to Zhao Yizhi, and left with Wang Zhenliang honestly.

After Zhao Yizhi saw Wang Zhenliang leave with Tang Yousheng, he sulked. The maid Xiaocui is right, this is really done by Steward Liu in the Taishi Mansion, and the five hundred taels of the candle flame purchased are obviously used to buy Liu Mouse to assassinate him, but as the king of a country, there is no way at all.

"Damn Liu Tai! Damn the soup is alive! Master Li, what a good skill, he almost plotted to assassinate me in front of me! It's just that I can't help you, and I just let that Liu mouse be so clumsy..."Zhao Yizhi muttered to himself, and suddenly paused here "Huh? Liu Mouse? Mouse..."

"Someone!" Zhao Yizhi shouted outside the door.

A little eunuch hung his head and ran in in a panic, about to kneel. Zhao Yizhi said: "Excuse me, go, tell Shaoshan, and ask him to bring the assassin in the prison who assassinated me to see me!" The one that will summon the rats! ”

The little eunuch still knelt down, kowtowed, didn't dare to say a word, and ran out in a hurry.

The prison of the Criminal Department, last night's escape did not have much impact on the prison, and there are still people who are brought in, this time, it is Mr. Taishi's account office, Tang Yousheng, who was brought in.

"Why are you here! Your Majesty knows! As soon as Liu Tai saw that Tang Yousheng was arrested and locked up opposite him, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly grabbed the cell door and asked nervously.

"Almost!" Tang Yousheng wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty knows about it, and you will take me to the palace when you go to the mansion, and bring the account book to the palace, and let the big eunuch read it in front of me." ”

"Ledger! Is that the ledger? Liu Taixin mentioned his throat.

"How can that? Isn't that in the master's study? It's my one.,I've changed the use.,Back at the end of the year and the old man a pair.,As long as the amount is not bad.,The master can find that side..."

"Shhhh Don't talk! This prison is not as good as the house, you dare to say anything! Don't kill you! Liu Tai stared at the soup and drank it.

Tang Yousheng also frowned: "I don't know what this little emperor thinks, and he said that I should be locked up with you, so that it is convenient for us to confess, I guess someone is listening, let's be careful." ”

In fact, there were many prisoners in this prison, because of the robbery of Mr. Wu and others last night, those prisoners either died in the "snow falling on a thousand mountains" in the hidden clouds, or they were still lying in the hospital. There were few prisoners in the cell on this floor now, and there were no jailers guarding them, and the two continued to talk quietly and stumblingly.

In the cell on the first floor below Liu Tai and them, there were also people who were about to be brought out.

The big knife in Shaoshan's hand knocked on the iron prison door: "Hu Lishan, have you found Mr. Wu and the fourth son?" ”

"No, don't rush it, you urge me to be distracted, doesn't this delay things!" Hu Lishan said with some complaint.

Shaoshan laughed secretly, held back a smile and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty has a word, you don't have to look for it." ”

"Huh? Don't have to look for it? That's a good relationship, and these two rabbit cubs don't know where to hide... Wait, what does it mean you don't have to look for it? Your Majesty won't kill me, will you? Hu Lishan just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, a pair of little mouse eyes stared at Shaoshan, and asked tentatively.

"Then I don't know, Your Majesty summoned you into the palace to see you, come out. But I'll tell you first, there are so many masters in the palace, if you have any crooked thoughts, you have to weigh it. Shaking the mountain warned.

As soon as Hu Lishan heard that His Majesty was going to recruit him into the palace, his heart was half relieved, he was a death row prisoner, His Majesty would never be able to recruit him into the palace if he wanted to be executed, a piece of edict, the head immediately fell to the ground, where did he still need to enter the palace? He didn't even need a holy decree, and he went back to the West with a single message.

"Could it be... Your Majesty wants to see juggling? Then my rats will know more. Hu Lishan stood up with a smile and said to himself.

Shaoshan reprimanded with a cold face: "Tell you, the palace is also the residence of His Majesty, and the capital is important, and none of your rats are allowed to be brought into the palace, did you hear it!" ”

As soon as Hu Lishan heard what Shaking Mountain said, it wasn't about juggling, seeing the wide-eyed Shaking Mountain, Hu Lishan nodded again and again, indicating that he obeyed.

"Your Majesty! The prisoner Hu Lishan had already been brought and was waiting outside the door. "Shake the mountain came in and reported.

"Bring it in." Zhao Yizhi reviewed the folds without raising his head.

When Hu Lishan entered the door, his prison clothes had been replaced by an ordinary thin shirt, and the shackles of his hands and feet had also been removed. At this time, when I saw the door, I couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Yizhi's study, and everywhere I looked, I only felt that the nobility was compelling: silk made curtains, gold silk wood made desks, gold made pens, jade made inkstones...

"Get on your knees!" A loud shout interrupted Hu Lishan's look, and Hu Lishan hurriedly weakened his legs and knelt down.

Hu Lishan quietly raised his head, and saw the little emperor Zhao Yizhi sitting in front of the desk, but there was a heroic spirit, the power of the emperor. On the left and right of the Qingtianjia Sea substation, the mountain and the river are standing behind him. There are only four masters standing in a study, and Hu Lishan believes that if he makes a rash move, he will immediately die without a whole body, and he will not even leave a last word.

"Prisoner Hu Lishan knocks to see Your Majesty." Hu Lishan is a martial arts person after all, he has seen some of the market, and after kneeling, he immediately kowtowed to Zhao Yizhi to say goodbye.

Zhao Yizhi heard the call, put down his pen, looked at Hu Lishan and said with a smile: "You were the one who assassinated me last night, right?" Those rats are still quite powerful, and they have made my guards suffer a little. ”

"Oops! This little emperor wants to turn over old accounts! Hu Lishan secretly screamed in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, the prisoner of crime was bewitched by a traitor, so he committed it, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" Hu Lishan didn't quibble and cry grievances, thinking that the little emperor didn't call him into the palace to see himself crying and begging for mercy, as long as he honestly admitted his mistakes, maybe the little emperor would appreciate himself as an "iron-clad" man! But Hu Lishan was wrong, Zhao Yizhi just wanted to see him cry and beg for mercy.

"Hehe, you're pretty honest. You know that you have committed the great sin of destroying the three tribes! Zhao Yizhi began to put pressure on Hu Lishan.

Sure enough, as soon as Hu Lishan heard that Zhao Yizhi changed his temper, and his words were slightly threatening, he knew that his idea was wrong. Hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the prisoner knows his mistake!" Please forgive your Majesty for the life of a prisoner of sin! ”

Zhao Yizhi immediately softened when he saw Hu Lishan, but he was stunned, this reaction was too fast, not to mention that he looked like a mouse, this temperament was also the same as a mouse, and he made a rudder when he saw the wind.

"I have something I need you to do, and if I do it and spare your life, I can't say that the court will have to reuse you, are you willing?" Zhao Yizhi threw out an olive branch.

When Hu Lishan heard this, it turned out that his life was here, and he hurriedly replied: "The prisoner is willing, but if Your Majesty has a life, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not be allowed..."

"I heard that your rats are looking for people to find their way, whispering and listening, and can do anything? There are two prisoners in the prison, help me listen to what they are talking about, report daily, maybe it can be done? Zhao Yizhi said his purpose.

"The prisoner of sin is commanded!" Hu Lishan liked this errand, and he was so happy that the mouse Hu was warped.
