Zhao Shi's carriage next to ......

"To say or not to say?"

syllable

"To say or not to say?"

syllable

"Say it or not......"

When Zhao Shi walked back to the carriage, he happened to see Zhou Tong more or less fanning Qi Ling's mouth with a little fake public and private interest......

Why is Zhou Tong a fake public and private?

"If you want to ask, you can tear out the strip of cloth from someone's mouth and ask again! What do you gag people to say? ”

Zhao Shi kicked Zhou Tong a little helplessly, and then jumped slightly, only sat on the wheel of the carriage, looked down at the strip of cloth that was pulled out of his mouth, but still said without saying a word: "Are you sure you weren't specifically thrown out to attract my attention?" ”

Qi Ling trembled,

couldn't help but raise his head and glared at Zhao Shi viciously: "The lower official admits that the lower official was indeed easily caught by His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness wants to insult the lower official, although it is straightforward, why use this tone of yin and yang, saying that the lower official is incompetent." ”

So

Are you really a pure fool?

Zhao Shi frowned slightly, he still felt that Qi Ling's performance was a little too obvious, or rather, it was as if he was actively exposed, after all, as a corrupt official, as a high-IQ criminal, he should be smarter anyway......

Of course......

It's not just Zhao Zhen,

Many of Zhao Shi's later classmates and professors have complained: Zhao Shi is clever, and his handling of cases is not affected by stereotypes, which is very good, but he does have some fanciful problems that are easy to complicate simple cases.

alas

sighed,

Zhao Shi did not find more evidence to prove that there was a more complicated interpretation of this case for the time being, so he could only treat Qi Ling as an ordinary, not so smart corrupt official: "You are also from the Sihui Literary Society?" ”

Qi Ling hesitated,

Still nodded honestly and said, "Yes." ”

Then he hurriedly raised his head and said: "Your Highness has seen it just now, although I am insatiable, but I don't dare to spend a penny, really, I don't dare to spend a penny, I have been helping the people all these years, and the neighbors are really my own savings over the years, I really have coarse tea and light rice every day, and I am reluctant to put even a piece of meat." ”

syllable

Zhou Tong couldn't help but slapped the back of the other party's head again, and said angrily: "Then why are you still greedy?" ”

Qi Ling trembled,

smiled bitterly: "I'm scared of poverty!" ”

"Your Royal Highness may not have experienced it, but Xiaguan is really hard from childhood to adulthood, my aunt didn't wear a good dress until she died, my inner son still has to raise silkworms and weave cloth every day, live a hard life, I'm just obsessed, just see the gold and silver and want to get it in my hand will feel at ease obsession."

Zhou Tong was silent,

He is not the kind of iron man with a tendon in his brain, if Qi Ling is really a thrifty person on the surface and luxurious in private, he must have seen it early in the morning, and he can't see it, it will probably be proven......

"Why bother!"

Zhou Tong patted Qi Ling on the shoulder, Qi Ling smiled bitterly, and then looked at the expressionless Zhao Shi, hesitated for dozens of breaths before gritting his teeth and said: "Moreover, I have ironclad evidence of the mastermind behind the Sihui Literary Society." ”

"Ironclad evidence?"

Behind Zhao Shi,

Di Yong's eyes lit up when he came over, but Qi Ling obviously knew who was the master of Yiyi here, and only looked at Zhao Shi and said: "Your Highness, the lower officials don't dare to ask for no punishment, just ask Your Highness to spare my life." ”

Spare your life?

Zhao Shi frowned: "It depends on how you behave." ”

Qi Ling was stunned,

He could hear the indifference in Zhao Shi's words, but this was enough, as long as there was the slightest opportunity, he would definitely be able to seize it: "Please go back to Kaifeng Mansion with Your Highness." ”

Kaifeng Mansion?

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looked back at the somewhat messy courtyard, left Di Yong to take care of the aftermath, and then took Zhou Tong and Erniang back to Kaifeng Mansion in the carriage driven by Cheng Ping.

Kaifeng Mansion ......

Attendance,

Zhao Shi watched Qi Ling walk straight to his desk, and then pulled out an envelope from under the table, the envelope was as thick as a palm, Zhao Shi didn't answer it, but said with some suspicion: "You have long expected that I will find you, so you will hide the evidence in the duty room?" ”

Qi Ling smiled helplessly: "Xiaguan is really not as smart as His Highness thinks, Xiaguan just heard that His Highness is coming, on the one hand, he is worried that the crime will be exposed, so he overreacts, on the other hand, he thinks that the Kaifeng Mansion should be safer than before, so he hides the evidence here, it is really not as complicated as His Highness thinks." ”

Zhao Shi was silent,

Then, he looked at the thick envelope again, perhaps, he was really as Zhao Zhen said, not that he felt that this case was too simple and smooth, so he was suspicious, but he was swayed by feelings, and he was reluctant to believe it, and even accepted that Wang Deyong was the culprit?

alas

Zhao Shi sighed faintly in his heart, but his face did not change, but he reached out and took the envelope, then sat down in the position of unknown people, turned on the oil lamp, and opened it to take a look......

Sigh slowly,

No more reversal,

This is a letter written by Wang De to Qi Ling in his own handwriting, Zhao Shi knows this handwriting, this is ironclad evidence, but: "Why did he write to you in his own handwriting?" ”

Qi Ling stood at the table with his hands tied, as if he was waiting for Zhao Shi to ask, and when he heard this, he hurriedly replied: "He once asked Xia Guan to do an extremely important thing, and Xia Guan naturally wanted to make sure that he ordered it before he dared to do it, so he had this handwritten letter." ”

"What's so important?"

Zhao Shi stuffed a thin piece of letter paper into a thick envelope......

Qi Ling hesitated for a moment, and said: "Wang Deyong's second son, Wang Xianrong, was caught by Chai Wen, the former patrol of the right army, and put him in prison, Zhao Luan, Zhao Jianguan also impeached Wang Deyong on this matter, and then Wang Deyong wanted to let Xia Guan erase this matter for him, this matter is very important, Xia Guan did not dare to agree easily, so he asked for a handwritten letter, and ......"

Zhao Shi nodded,

Subconsciously smashed his palm with a thick envelope, and his palm hurt slightly, obviously there was not only one handwritten letter in it: "Is it possible that Wang De used his heir to be a traitor in his name?" ”

Qi Ling was stunned,

Said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible, although the Sihui Wen Society does not meet often, and the members do not know each other, but, as a rare member of the Sihui Wen Society in Beijing, Xia Guan is unlucky, and he personally met Wang Deyong once, he seems to be very short of money that day, and he actually took the initiative to ask us to pay the membership dues for that month a few days earlier. ”

Speaking of which,

Qi Ling glanced at Zhao Shi and said softly: "Xia Guan knows that His Royal Highness doesn't want to believe it, but Wang Deyong's insatiable greed is beyond your imagination, it's not that you are sorry for him, but that he is sorry for you, he has never been a black-faced minister, he is a black-hearted minister, besides, ......" Qi Ling hesitated again, and still hissed: "Xiaguan also knows that there are two colleagues in Beijing, one is Cheng Dulang of Dali Temple, and the other is Shen Pi who was detained by the Criminal Court, and they have also seen Wang Deyong, if His Highness still doesn't believe it, you can arrest them and confront them." ”

Zhao Shi couldn't help but turn his neck slightly, which was inevitably a little ...... It's too ironclad!

It's just that......

If it's not Wang Deyong, who is it?

Zhao Shi sighed helplessly, turned around and asked Zhou Tong to call Cheng Yi, and asked Cheng Yi to temporarily put Qi Ling in prison first, and then came to the courtyard with a frown......

In the yard,

The full moon hangs high,

Zhou Tong cautiously asked: "Your Highness, are you still arresting Du Lang of Dali Temple, and the trial court is detaining Shen Pi?" ”

Zhao Shi thought for a while: "You and Di Yong want a few people, let's supervise first!" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Tong hurriedly agreed, he thought that this time he did not obey Zhao Shi's orders so many times, Zhao Shi would be a little disappointed in him, but he never thought that Zhao Shi also brought him a few people: "The humble post must be only the will of His Royal Highness in the future, and the horse is the head." ”

Zhao Shi was sluggish,

waved his hand, signaling him to do things with his heart, and then stepped out of the Kaifeng Mansion in the moonlight, and was about to go back to his prince's mansion, when his steps froze......

Or turn around......

went to Wang Deyong's mansion.

Instead of dwelling on it yourself, why not just ask? ——
