In the following days, Bai Zeqing tried to communicate with the spiritual power of the Jiaowei Bird in the name of recuperating from injuries in Huofu, to practice puppet spiritual arts.

And Huo Yuncheng was not idle, running between Caoyun and the government almost every day, caught in the huge commercial affairs of the Huo family and another grain case that had not yet been tried in Yuanzhou.

In the case of Bingshancang, the coolie Wang Da Niu, who had broken one leg and was locked in prison after previously reporting the fraud of grain in the warehouse, was personally fished out by Wen Jinnuo and stayed in the house to recuperate. In addition, there are several coolie testimonies and drawings, as well as a document and 10,000 taels of silver found in the secret room in the Jietui Mansion.

Lu Jietui knew that he could not deny it, so he confessed all the people involved in the case, just hoping to be able to bear the punishment alone and not to harm the nine clans.

Of course, Lu Jietui did not fail to make a final effort to break the net.

On the first day of the trial, he bribed the killer to infiltrate Bingshan Cang to kill those coolies, but as soon as he entered Bingshan Cang, he was pressed by Wen Jinnuo and Huo Yuncheng's people. There is no need to force confessions, these "killers" have just been pressed and are busy confessing - Lu Jietui is in a hurry, and what he is looking for is not a professional killer who collects money and does not want to die, but a ruffian hooligan in Xijiekou, who collects the money, but he doesn't know what righteousness is.

Since then, Bingshancang alone has involved more than 30 officials at all levels of the experience department, the prison department, the officer's room, the household room, the ceremonial room, the military room, the torture room, and the workshop.

In fact, through the subsequent month-long interrogation of these people, more things were involved.

In recent years, led by Sun Zhifu and Lu Jietui, officials from top to bottom have colluded to wantonly mix sand with water and white ash in Bingshan Cang, causing the price of official rice to drop, not to mention, they are still doing tricks and feet in official scales, and the rice grain greedy for ink is sent to their own rice shop.

These dozens of people, there are three rice lines in Yuanzhou Mansion, Tongzhou, Jianzhou, Ningzhou, Jinzhou, Yunzhou, Shuzhou and other prefectures where the Yuan River is unblocked, but these rice lines, a large number of silver taels every year, are sent to the capital.

Now that the case is tried here, it will be difficult to continue the trial, and it is also outside the authority of the four of them.

This case covers the three counties in the northwest and inevitably involves Governor Shen. Of course, it is inseparable from Cao Yun, and the Huo family is also destined to take the blame this time.

As for how to write the joint recital and how to grasp the scale, the four of them have their own opinions, and they can't reach a consensus for a while.

It took another half a month to report the performance.

When the emperor saw the excerpt, he directly overturned the book case, and the joint deliberations and the early dynasty could not wait, and immediately ordered the governor of grain transportation to start from the granaries of the capital, personally inspect the granaries of various places, and began to act on the same day.

He quickly whipped his whip and ordered Shen Yicheng, the governor of the three northwestern counties, to supervise the three northwestern counties.

Wen Jinnuo, Lu Yu, and even the imperial merchant Huo Yuncheng, who were in Yuanzhou City, received a holy decree with sharp words and full of anger. While scolding the Yuanzhou officials, they also reprimanded these people one after another. It is clear that the Yuanzhou grain case and the resettlement of displaced people cannot be properly resolved, and Wen Lu and Lu do not need to return to Beijing.

In order to find a turning point, several people who were troubled by the Bingshan Cang grain case had to devote their energy to another case closely related to the Liangcang grain case - Sun Zhengtong's suicide case, at the suggestion of Huo Yuncheng.

The four robbers in the prefect's suicide case refused to admit guilt. But Bai Zeqing provided a small portrait of the five people, and the people of Wen and Huo found a very inconspicuous house in Xicheng.

A group of officials kicked the door into the house and arrested two women dressed as peasant women, but they looked white and beautiful, and their fingers were green and white, and they were definitely not peasant women at first glance.

After a search, nothing was found in the house, except for weapons and disguise props.

But Bai Zeqing, who was hiding outside with Banxia and peeking, was unwilling, and after investigating with a sense of qi, he picked up a big stone and smashed the kitchen water tank.

The two peasant women who had pretended to be panicked were so frightened that they fell directly to the ground.

At this point, the four robbers and the two "peasant women" were interrogated separately, and a pair of testimonies were obtained, and the truth of the prefect's suicide case surfaced, and several people were unable to argue.

It turned out that the prefect Sun Zhengtong was a big greed. It is not only involved in the two-warehouse grain case, but also involves officials of the size of Yuanzhou who sell at a price, and countless assets that have been embezzled and bribed.

But Sun Zhengtong is extremely tactful, and he has been operating in Yuanzhou officialdom for decades, like a fish in water. Moreover, he is very good at monolithic business, and has interests with officials in the capital and surrounding places. Therefore, although it has been corrupt for many years, it can stand.

And these bandits were originally hired by Sun Zhengtong to help him deal with some unsightly things, and this time they also came to get money after Sun Zhengtong went to Yuanzhou to do something. Who knew that Sun Zhengtong was bothered by the matter of the homeless granary, and he was very dissatisfied with the results of these people's work this time, so he ordered the housekeeper to give them a silver ticket to send them away, so he had no intention of understanding them.

But these people had a dispute with the housekeeper because Sun Zhengtong did not pay off the money according to the prior agreement, injured the housekeeper and wanted to rush into the Sun Mansion to make trouble, but they were beaten out by the Sun Mansion guards, and Sun Zhengtong also threatened them that if they didn't get out, they would be put in prison for questioning.

This gang of bandits held a grudge against Sun Zhengtong because of this, thinking that he did not pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and knew that he was a corrupt official, so they gave themselves the name of "chivalrous thieves" and prepared to go to Sun Zhifu's house to "rob the rich and help the poor".

As everyone knows, Sun Zhengtong loves money and lives very much, and his home is heavily guarded, and these bandits can't get in after several attempts.

Just when they thought that there was no way to prepare to give up, Sun Zhengtong didn't know what tendons were pumping in his brain, and he actually hid in Tingquan Temple because of the matter of being homeless.

It's a godsend for them. So, the brother who was the best at disguise among them knocked out a pure man who had just gone up the mountain in the temple, pretended to be him, lurked in the temple, and looked for an opportunity to attack.

On that day, the homeless people made trouble, and the bandits felt that it was a godsend, so they immediately kidnapped Sun Zhengtong, forced him to ask for the property and the key, strangled Sun Zhengtong, stole the key, hung him on the beam of the house, and then shouted suicide, and then used the disguise technique to escape among the homeless people.

Originally, if this group of robbers fled back to Tongzhou, it would be fine, but they were not willing to let go of the large treasures of the Sun Mansion without the prefect Sun Zhengtong.

As a result, they have been lurking in the city, taking turns to monitor Sun's mansion.

The first action was to take advantage of the people of the Sun Mansion to go to the palace to make trouble and sneak into the Sun Mansion, but not long after they entered, they were discovered as soon as they opened the treasure house, so they only had time to steal a white jade Guanyin statue at the entrance of the treasure house and fled in a hurry.

Having seen the treasure trove of many belongings, they were even more reluctant to just go back to Tongzhou. Just wait for the opportunity to start and steal more treasures.

originally thought that the Sun family's family members went to Tingquan Temple that was the best opportunity, but that time the thief happened to meet someone from the Huo family to find clues, and they were almost blocked in the house and wiped out.

The second is more served.

But I had a fever and a headache that exploded. There is no way to keep looking at the screen.

Therefore, tomorrow's first shift is estimated to be in the afternoon, and the second shift is also in the evening.

Thank you all for your support.
