"Lord Lin, the case of the theft of Huibaotong has been raised, how should it be handled?"

Zhao Heng led a few brocade guards into the mansion.

"Of course, it is to take it directly, such bandits, they dare to hit the idea on the head of the court, they must frustrate the bones and ashes, and even the nine clans can solve the hatred in their hearts!"

Without waiting for Lin Hao to respond, Chen Jugen hurriedly spoke, looking indignant.

"Take it!"

Zhao Heng snorted coldly.

Several brocade guards pressed Chen Jugen on the desk, and there was an embroidered spring knife out of the sheath around his neck.

"Zhao Qianhu, is there any misunderstanding in this?"

Kuang Jie hurriedly got up and persuaded him.

"Misunderstanding, the thief didn't know that all the treasure banknotes of Huibaotong have a special anti-counterfeiting mechanism, and under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, the number printed on the treasure banknotes will appear."

"The 50,000 taels of silver tickets were searched from Chen Jugen's mansion, and all the numbers correspond one by one."

"According to the confession of the Huibaotong branch shopkeeper, the theft case was roughly at the time of last night, after the sub-hour, the whole city curfew, and it was impossible for the silver tickets to circulate at all, why did it appear in Lord Chen's house, and Lord Chen also hid these silver tickets under the pillow in the wing room."

"How do you explain that!?"

Zhao Heng said in a cold tone, staring at Chen Jugen.

No matter how stupid Chen Jugen is, he should react, he is definitely tricked!

A curfew was implemented in Luling County at the time, and there were not only patrols by the city guards, but also the assistance of the Imperial Forest Army brought by the Jinyi Guards and His Royal Highness.

Once he was caught, he had to at least be punished in prison, and the man had only arrived at the house when he arrived, and he didn't have the slightest suspicion.

"Lord Qincha, the lower officials are really wronged, and I don't know why these silver tickets appear on the lower officials' mansions, I think it must be that thief who wants to frame the blame for the lower officials."

"By the way, the stolen silver tickets of Huibaotong are more than one million taels, and only 50,000 taels were found in the Xiaguan Mansion, this is a good explanation, if the Xiaguan is really the thief, the stolen money should not be only 50,000 taels."

Chen Jugen struggled to get up.

Presumably, the thief has been planning for a long time, and at this moment, he is afraid that he has already taken the silver ticket and flown away, and blamed himself for this matter.

"Cut it."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Chen Jugen and snorted coldly.

Zhao Heng picked up the embroidered spring knife and slashed directly at Chen Jugen's neck.

"I'll do it!"

"Don't kill me, I've got it all!"

Chen Jugen yelled hysterically, the blade stopped less than a hair's length from his neck, and he only felt a warmth coming from his lower body.

"Last night, a businessman who claimed to be from Tianfu came to the Xiaguan Mansion and said that he wanted to participate in the construction of the road in Luling County, and hoped that the Xiaguan would make it convenient."

"For this kind of profiteer, the lower officials have always received money and did not do anything, and originally planned to hand over these silver tickets to the government office in a few days, but I didn't expect to be searched out by Lord Zhao."

"What the lower officials said is true, if you don't believe it, you can call the housekeeper of my house, and you will know as soon as you ask."

Zhao Heng didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, as long as Steward Liu came to help him testify, at best, it was a crime of accepting bribes, and he didn't do anything for him, even if he was dismissed from his official position, he would not worry about his life.

"Really?"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows.

Steward Liu, who was tied up with five flowers, was detained by Jinyi Wei and taken into the mansion.

"Steward Liu, according to what Chen Jugen said, you also know about last night's incident, is that the case?"

Kuang Jie asked.

Since he arrived in Luling County for more than two years, what Chen Jugen has shown is lazy government, he is polite and polite on weekdays, and he didn't think that he would dare to do such a despicable thing.

The imperial court allocated funds to pave bridges and build roads, but when it comes to people's livelihood, it is disgraceful to dare to make a fuss about it!

"Yes, the villain can testify that the man claimed to be a merchant from Yingtianfu and lived in the Lingqu Inn."

Shopkeeper Liu arched his hand towards Kuang Jie.

"Lord Lin, what the lower officials said is true."

Chen Jugen breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnesty, he had been in the office for fifteen years, and Steward Liu had followed him for fifteen years, and he had always been loyal, and there was no accident with Steward Liu.

"But the villain still has one more thing he wants to report, last night the villain was resting in the room, but overheard Lord Chen and the merchant surnamed Wang conspiring in the courtyard."

"What he said was the theft of Huibaotong, and the man gave 50,000 taels of silver tickets as a reward in order to thank Lord Chen for the news, and Lord Chen saw that the villain got up at night, so he immediately changed his rhetoric."

"I also asked the villain to bring a generous gift to the Lingqu Inn this morning, but after the villain went there, the shopkeeper said that there was no such businessman who came from Tianfu at all."

……

"Steward Liu, the official has always treated you well, but you distorted the facts and wanted to kill the official, what is your intention!?"

Chen Jugen's lungs are about to explode, there is no such thing at all.

"The official said that how did the thief know about the day of the account between the tobacco department and Huibaotong, it turned out that you and the thief secretly made a payment."

Kuang Jie snorted coldly.

"Master Kuang, this Steward Liu clearly took the benefits of the thief and framed the lower officials, and I hope that Lord Lin will be aware of it and return the lower officials to an innocent one."

Chen Jugen knelt down towards Lin Hao and said with tears in his eyes.

"Put Chen Jugen in prison, and then execute him when the matter is clarified!"

Kuang Jie ignored Chen Jugen.

"Master Kuang, there is a death row inmate beheading in the school field today, named Zhu Er, are you going to supervise the beheading?"

Tongzhi stepped forward and handed over a book.

"Zhu Er, what did this person do?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked subconsciously.

"Two months ago, this person deliberately assassinated him on the street...... Chen Jugen was taken down on the spot, and today is the day to ask for beheading. ”

Tongzhi felt that it was inappropriate as soon as he opened his mouth, so he changed his words.

"Bring this man to the church."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

When Zhu Er was given a day to go back to visit relatives, there was no news, and Zhu Gaoxu thought that Zhu Er had escaped with the silver.

After all, 100,000 taels is enough for an ordinary person to live without food and clothing for several generations.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper of the Tongxing Inn to find Xichang Mansion and inform him that an old woman had handed him a silver ticket, saying that it would be given to an adult surnamed Zhu.

With such a huge amount of money, the shopkeeper did not dare to hide his secrets, and tried every means to find his whereabouts.

If Zhu Er really wanted to escape, how could he let people send the silver back, and specially asked Jinyiwei to come to Luling County to find Zhu Er's whereabouts, after all, the two experienced life and death together, but they died without a problem.

Soon, the servant escorted a man with shackles to the hall.

It's Zhu Er!

"It's not that I didn't report that the time has not come, I didn't expect you to have today, God has eyes!"

At this time, Zhu Erxiao was crazy, and when he was arraigned, he happened to bump into Chen Jugen, who was taken into prison.

Covered in blood, his prison clothes were torn, and when he looked in prison, he was tortured.

"Benefactor?"

Zhu Er caught a glimpse of Zhu Gaoxu, and was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to meet his benefactor here.

"Why did you assassinate Luling County's general sentence Chen Jugen?"

Zhu Gaoxu just asked indifferently.

"On that day, he took the silver given by his benefactor, and planned to go back to say goodbye to his wife and children, but when he arrived at home, he saw the sky-high fire."

"The neighbor told a certain that it was Chen Shan, the son of Chen Jugen, who fell in love with a certain lady, and the lady would rather die than obey, so she killed herself with scissors, and Chen Shan, a brute, made people seal the doors and windows, and burned a certain family to death!"

"The sea of blood is deep, a certain can't wait to pick his skin, crush his bones and scatter ashes, now Chen Jugen has fallen, without a backer, presumably Chen Shan will not live long, a certain fate is worth it, but your kindness can only be repaid in the next life!"

Zhu Er dragged the shackles, slowly walked in front of Zhu Gaoxu, knelt down, and kowtowed three times in succession.

"Where's Chen Shan?"

Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, Chen Shan was born as a person, and he hung up a post of inspection from the ninth grade in the government, but he didn't see anyone at all on weekdays, and because of Lord Chen's face, his colleagues couldn't say anything."

Although the inspection is an idle job, according to the law, it also has to work in the government office.

"Give you half an hour, if you can't find it, you don't have to do it."

Zhu Gaoxu scolded, then leaned over, opened the shackles for Zhu Er, took off the gorgeous clothes he was wearing outside, and put them on.

"Benefactor, what is your identity?"

Zhu Er asked in disbelief.

Tongzhi master, in this Luling County, except for the county guard, it is the biggest, but it is such an adult, the benefactor can judge his life and death with a word.

"Presumptuous, how can you speculate on the identity of Your Highness?"

Kuang Jie scolded, Zhu Er is just a grass people, while His Royal Highness is the orthodoxy of the royal family.

"It's okay, I'll follow this palace in the future."

Zhu Gaoxu took an embroidered spring knife from the brocade guard beside him and handed it to Zhu Secondhand.
