After eating puffer fish in the end, after having a simple dinner in a luxurious restaurant, everyone went to the governor's mansion, the officers and soldiers were raiding his house, and the silver was moved out in boxes and boxes, fortunately it was not eye-catching at night, if it was daytime, it was estimated that it could be surrounded by the common people into iron buckets.

Maybe this is the reason why Pei Shaoqing searched his house at night! If you let the people know that your parents are so greedy, you will probably lose confidence in the court and the emperor!

Yeats quietly glanced at Pei Jingning, at this moment, he was rich and powerful, and he was awe-inspiring.

That's what he's supposed to be!

Mr. Zheng was busy supervising the Imperial Machinery Battalion, and when he saw the master coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, "My lord, Lu Zhizhou has been arrested, and all the children of his family are also detained in Yangzhou Prison. ”

It is said that in the past two days alone, the family members of wealthy businessmen have fished nearly one million taels of silver from the prison, and Lu Zhizhou has been in Yangzhou for nearly ten years, so this silver ...... It's like tens of millions!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Of course, Yeats didn't have a real amount of silver, and Pei Jingning didn't know where to go with Yeats.

The cold wind outside the car, the warmth in the car was like spring, Yeats was sleepy, wanted to yawn, and was embarrassed, so he pressed it hard, and the tears came out, rubbed it, and his whole eyes were red, like a wronged little white rabbit.

Pei Jingning's eyes moved, "Sit down!" ”

Yeats, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and hurriedly waved his hand, "Just sit here, it's very comfortable here." ”

Pei Jingning raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked silently with his eyes.

His sword eyebrows are so good-looking, Yeats couldn't help but look at it twice, but he didn't want to sit next to him, there was really a difference between men and women, and there were differences between superiors and subordinates, so he had to find an excuse: "My legs are numb!" ”

Pei Jingning's eyes lowered slightly.

What looks?

Yeats was so frightened that he shrunk his legs behind the stool.

Pei Jingning's raised eyebrows have never fallen, this is called leg numbness?

Yeats was embarrassed to pick out three rooms and one living room, so he had to divert the topic, "My lord, what is the case you said about last year?" Are you the one who arrested Lu Zhizhou with this case? ”

Pei Jingning didn't tease Lord Ye anymore and let her go.

Speaking of business, his face was slightly pale: "When Songjiang Prefecture transported several boats of cotton to Yangzhou last autumn, all the cotton on the ship was gone.

At that time, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture personally came to Yangzhou to investigate the case, and found that several boats of cotton were stolen by the younger brother of Lu Zhizhou's concubine. ”

"Then the prefect of Songjiang didn't report the case?"

"Of course he's going to report it." Pei Jingning said, "It's just that before he could hand it out, he was threatened, and in order to save the lives of the whole family, he had to swallow it." ”

Yeats felt uncomfortable, "It stands to reason that after losing a few boats of cotton, the prefect of Songjiang can transport a few more boats to make up for it, and there is no need to go down to Yangzhou in person and make such a mess......"

Pei Jingning smiled.

"Something else in the cotton?"

"Lord Ye is really smart."

How do you feel like a child, Yeats was a little embarrassed, "There is silver hidden in it?" ”

Pei Jingning nodded, "I'm going to bribe some officials of the Ministry of Households." ”

"How could the younger brother of the concubine of the prefect of Yangzhou know?"

He said quietly: "Sometimes the people of Youzhou may also know about the affairs of the Lingnan official office. ”

Yeats understood that the upper class had their own set of information chains, not to mention that Songjiang and Yangzhou were so close!

Yeats asked, "According to the adults, the case is very clear, as long as the concubine's younger brother is caught, the case can be verified, why wait until this year?" ”

Pei Jingning smiled and said nothing.

The two looked at each other.

Yeats suddenly understood, "My lord was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at the beginning of this year, and the court has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to uproot Lu Zhizhou, right?" ”

Pei Jingning wanted to reach out and touch someone's head to express the joy and joy in his heart at the moment, so he moved his fingers twice on the surface of his leg and gave up.

His Lord Ye seemed to be very shy, and ...... It was very late for him......

Suddenly, the joyful Pei Shaoqing suddenly became worried, when will Lord Ye open his mind!

The carriage swayed, and Lord Ye, who didn't know when he could open his mind, fell asleep.

This night, she slept in the carriage all night, and when she opened her eyes, she didn't find Pei Jingning's figure, but Mingzhu and Pearl.

"Lord Ye, you're awake!"

Yeats lifted the thick curtain of the carriage, "This is ......" he looked outside, "Yangzhou Mansion?" ”

"Yes, Lord Ye." Mingzhu helped Yeats rub his numb legs, "Lord Ye, the toiletry has been prepared, please get out of the carriage." ”

"Where's your lord?" Yeats asked.

Mingzhu said, "The master interrogated Lu Zhizhou all night. ”

"...... "Wouldn't that be very tiring," Yeats thought for a moment and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

After Mingzhu and the others led her to wash, she was about to find Pei Jingning, when he didn't know when he had stood behind her, dressed in a Chu colored brocade robe, obviously old-fashioned color, wearing on him, with a long and jade body, a picturesque face, and an indescribably handsome and noble.

Yeats hurriedly saluted, "My lord—"

Master Pei was beautiful and not tired at all, "Let's have breakfast together, eat well, and we'll go." ”

"Your Excellen......cy," Yeats arched his hand, "You still stay here to rest while taking care of Lord Lu's case, just a murderer, you don't need your adult to go in person, I can catch the head with Teng." ”

"I heard that murderers like to kill young couples, you and I join forces as bait, can we catch the murderer faster?"

"......" Suddenly, Yeats felt that his brain could not turn and his breathing was not smooth.

Yeats had such an idea, but it was also a team with Teng Zhutou and Zhang Zhuao, so it would not be the turn of the dignified Shaoqing.

And also...... And also...... What a small couple...... Why are you so shameless!

Ahh......hhh

The top boss who is too exemplary is also unbearable!

In a trance, Yeats didn't eat a few bites of breakfast.

Master Pei stroked his forehead, did he scare his little subordinates, and ordered Mingzhu to bring food and snacks.

"Let's go!" Master Pei strode out of the Yangzhou Yamen.

Yeats hurriedly followed.

Bai Lang sighed, in order not to show his tiredness, his grandfather cleaned up as soon as he got out of prison, his beard was shaved and clean, more serious than the previous dynasty, God, this is completely planted in the hands of this surnamed Ye.

What can I do? Bai Lang scratched his head and scratched his ears, did he think of a way to suggest that Lord Ye should stay away from his master?

What if Lord Ye deliberately pretended to be stupid and didn't listen?

Bai Lang looked at Teng Chong, Qin Dachuan and the others, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Dachuan, he was the oldest, and Yeats usually respected him, why don't you let him remind Lord Ye?

In the early morning of winter, the weather was cold and the road was slippery, in order to quickly catch up with the murderer, Pei Jingning gave up the carriage and rode a horse with Yeats and others.

On the cold southern official road, more than a dozen horses galloped, attracting passers-by to look sideways, so spectacular!
