Although they didn't have the heart to sleep, but thinking that there were still many things to do in the future, Shao Xi and Lao Wu still rested, and this sleep narrowed until dawn, the two of them simply washed up, walked out of the post house and headed towards the county guard mansion together.

Shao Xi had already made up his mind that once he asked someone to come down, he would leave Qingshan City immediately and never stay. In any case, rescue the purple kite first, and talk about other things later.

What Shao Xi and Lao Wu didn't expect was that when they came to the county guard's mansion, they found that Chen Mohuai and the officials at all levels of Qingshan City were already waiting for them outside the county guard's mansion, as if they had known that they were coming.

Lao Wu whispered to Shao Xi: "Didn't you say that we set up the stage and they sing?" Now the big drama is about to begin. ”

Shao Xi smiled, "An opponent who we see his hole cards wants to act in front of us, we just have to watch him perform." ”

"Young master, let's not be careless, none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, let's wait and see what happens."

"Well, I will."

While speaking, the two had come to the gate of the county government, and Chen Mohuai took officials at all levels to meet Shao Xi, and then let the two into the hall of the mansion.

Chen Mohuai said with a smile: "Yesterday was the double happiness, not only caught Liang Daoqian, who set fire to the armor, but also caught the female thief Ye Zikite who endangered one party at night, and the lower officials thought that Lord Shao would definitely come to the court today to interrogate the two, so he waited with the officials early for the two adults to come." ”

Shao Xi also punned on it: "Lord Chen is really the parent official of Qingshan County, and it is really a blessing for one party to be so diligent in government affairs!" ”

"Lord Shao praised it falsely, and the lower officials just adhered to their duties and didn't dare to ask for credit."

"Lord Chen is modest, with Lord Chen's ability, he is only a county guard, which is really condescending."

"My lord's praise, Xiaguan's ability is not worth mentioning compared to you, Lord Shao."

"Lord Chen is polite."

"Lord Shao is polite."

The two of them walked into the hall of the government all the way "praising in their mouths and scolding their mothers in their hearts".

The arraignment of Liang Daoqian is just a formality, the end of an abandoned son is doomed, although Chen Mohuai really wants to save him, there will be many ways, but now his mind is no longer on him, who will care if he lives or dies when he is busy protecting himself? In the end, Liang Daoqian pleaded guilty and was detained, and was put in prison to wait for reporting to the Criminal Department for disposal.

Seeing Chen Mohuai pretending to try the case in the hall, Shao Xi only felt funny in his heart, no matter what kind of goods were dressed in this official skin, he could sit in the lobby like a dog and pretend to be a person.

Just thinking about it, I heard Chen Mohuai say in a loud voice: "Bring the criminal 'Flying Kite Under the Moon' Ye Zikite to the hall!" ”

Shao Xi became angry when he heard this, he had repeatedly told Cai Cheng and others yesterday to take good care of him, and today he actually got people to the lobby of the mansion, how could this person with broken legs withstand such a toss?

"Lord Chen, you don't seem to be impressed by what I said last night! Are you trying to test my bottom line? Still don't put 'Kei Seiji' in your eyes? ”

Chen Mohuai said with a smile: "Lord Shao, you said that you wanted to interrogate this criminal, yesterday due to serious injuries and coma returned to nothing, today it happens to be in this hall, you are on trial, we will never intervene." ”

Shao Xi knew in his heart that Chen Mohuai's move was for fear that Ye Ziyuan would say something unfavorable to them, and now in this hall, in front of all the officials, even if Ye Ziyuan said something, they would have the opportunity to bite back and remedy it. It's just that what they don't know is that everything has been explained clearly last night, and their little caution has already been understood by Shao Xi, but they don't know it yet.

"There's no need to interrogate, I'm going to take this person away."

Chen Mohuai was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where does Lord Shao want to take this prisoner?" ”

"Bring back Kyoto Daliang and my 'Jing Cheng Division', do you have any opinions?"

"This person is from my Qingshan County, and the place where the crime occurred is also in my Qingshan County, and he was personally captured by the lower officials in my Qingshan County Mansion, why did Lord Shao take him back to the 'Jingcheng Division' in Daliang City, Kyoto for trial?"

"Who said I brought her back to try her? This person is extraordinary, and he is exactly the person I need in the "Jing Cheng Division", and I will bring it back to the department for training, which can be used by me in the future, and the people we "Jing Cheng Si" recruit never ask about their background, background, experience, or what they have done in the past. ”

Chen Mohuai's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he said unwillingly: "This thief has committed many crimes in my Qingshan City, and it is difficult for the lower officials to sleep and eat in order to catch this thief, and now it is not easy to capture him. ”

"It seems that Lord Chen has a lot of complaints about this matter! The people I want to recruit from the 'Jing Cheng Division' have not been given so far, but Lord Chen wants to be the first one? ”

When Chen Mohuai heard this, he was also a little stunned, he had heard of the "Jing Cheng Division" recruiting talents in an eclectic manner, many of them were originally guilty of crimes, and even some of them were capital crimes. No one has ever dared to refuse the request of "Jing Chengsi" to propose people, if he is the first, isn't he a bird? Stick out your neck yourself and cut it for others.

The problem now is that if Shao Xi is allowed to take people away, his account book will not be recovered, and if this woman publicizes what they have done, the head on their necks will not be saved, and Chen Mohuai feels in a dilemma at this time.

When the two sides were frozen here, Cai Cheng on the side stood out.

"Two adults, let's talk about it later, all the adults are tired after just opening a class, why don't you go to the back hall to rest, let's discuss again, what do you think?"

After Cai Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Mohuai, which meant "Don't be so stiff, let's go back to the back hall to discuss countermeasures." ”

Chen Mohuai looked at the current situation, and simply got off the donkey and went to the back hall to rest. So, all the officials also accompanied them to retreat from the hall and go to the back hall to drink tea and rest, in fact, they got together to discuss countermeasures.

Shao Xi and Lao Wu are not idle, they are all here, why don't they go to the back garden for a stroll? By the way, also "admire" the rockery.

The two looked around as they walked, and did not deliberately approach the rockery, so as not to arouse suspicion, but just glanced at it from a distance. Lao Wu is a professional thief, so he naturally saw the clues first.

"Young master, take a look at the stone behind the rockery."

Shao Xi used the corner of his eye to look in the direction that Lao Wu said, and saw that there was a stone behind the rockery that was slightly different in shape and color from the rockery, and the most important thing was that there was no moss growing on the rockery on the stone, which should be caused by frequent movement, if you don't look carefully, you can't find these.

Nodding slightly, he told Lao Wu that he understood, although he didn't plan to start here, but it was already Lao Wu's habit to step on it in advance.

At the same time, a group of officials in the back hall are discussing countermeasures. Only the county Cheng Xing Wenxin did not come today, and almost all the other officials of Qingshan City were involved in this matter.

"Cai Cheng, you just glanced at me, but you thought of a countermeasure." Chen Mohuai asked.

"My lord, how can we not give this 'Jing Chengsi' a mouthful? However, I also know what adults are worried about, and this is exactly what we are worried about, but adults don't care too much about it. ”

"Now that the account book is lost, the person who stole the account book is outside the hall, I think she has seen the account book and knows the secret of our waiting, and now Lord Shao is going to take people away, so why don't I care?"

Cai Cheng said with a smile: "My lord may be too worried, a female thief has an account book in her hand, how can she say that it is our doing?" Who knows if the books are forged? Without corroboration, who would believe her one-sided story? ”

This sentence suddenly reminded all the officials present that this is indeed the case, just a lonely evidence, if she really dares to take it out, as long as she bites back and says that she forged a false accusation against the court officials, not only will she be cleared up, but she can also take the opportunity to punish her for another crime of framing.

But at this time, Master Liu's book on the side reminded everyone, "Yesterday, when I went to the treasury with Lord Shao to check the accounts, that Lord Wu gave him a record of the treasury silver entering and leaving the treasury, and the record seems to be in the hands of the two of them now. ”

One sentence made these officials with ghosts in their hearts nervous.

Cai Cheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes, thinking about it again, "It's okay, since he wants to mention someone, he will have to leave this Qingshan City sooner or later, if he doesn't leave, we won't hand over people, if he wants to leave, we will propose to take back the entry and exit records of the treasury silver, it's not good for him to leave with this record, right?" ”

Chen Mohuai and Master Liu both nodded, this method is feasible, even the officials of the "Jing Cheng Division" have no way to take away the silver entry and exit records of a local government treasury for no reason, and they are to investigate the case before, so if they want to leave, there is naturally no need to keep the records in their hands.

After such an agreement, Chen Mohuai also had an idea in his heart, so he sent someone to find Shao Xi and Lao Wu, only saying that he had something to discuss with him.

After finding the two of them in the back garden, the people in the house brought Shao Xi and Lao Wu into the flower hall in the back hall and sat down. Chen Mohuai ordered someone to make a pot of good tea, and then took a group of officials to the flower hall.

"I don't know what Lord Chen discussed? Will you give me a man? Shao Xi asked.

"Since Lord Shao has spoken, how can I refuse? Even if she is only a thief, if she can serve the court, why should I have to punish her for her crimes? If you want to take it away, you can hand it over to you. ”

"Lord Chen and all the adults really understand the righteousness, and it is really a blessing for the court and the people to have you to govern Qingshan County."

After Shao Xi said this, he almost threw up.

"I wonder when Lord Shao is going to take this prisoner away? I had to order someone to equip this prisoner in advance, so as not to delay the adult's journey. ”

Shao Xi thought that everyone was in hand, of course, the sooner he left, the better.

"This time I didn't help much, and I bothered you for a few days, so it's better to set off early tomorrow morning."

"In this case, then the lower official will prepare a banquet in the mansion tonight for the two adults."

"Lord Chen is really polite."

"It's all as it should be, but it's ......"

"Is there anything else going on, Lord Chen?"

"Since the two lords are planning to return to Kyoto, can the records of the entry and exit of the treasury that they took away when the treasury checked the accounts be returned to the lower officials?"

Let's just say it didn't go so well!
