I listened to Master Di's advice: "Don't mention this matter to anyone again." ”

Gongyangbin immediately nodded his head into a chicken pecking rice.

Of course, he knew that this was a big thing that would lose his head, and if it weren't for the fact that he was going to prison, he wouldn't have said half a word.

He covered his mouth tightly and went down.

Di Ying announced his retirement, and then ordered Xie Jing and Zhou Rin, who heard Gongyangbin's words at the same time, to check on people immediately.

The rest of the guards stood far away and did not hear.

Zhou Rin didn't move, Xie Jing went by himself.

Di Ying took Zhou Rin and wandered around the city.

Then when it was getting dark, he went directly into Gongyang's house and knocked on the door of Gongyang Zhishang.

This frightened Gongyang Zhishang, who was in a hurry for his son to be arrested.

Because Gongyang Bin was arrested and sentenced suddenly, when Gongyang Zhishang got the news, he didn't even have the right to visit the prison.

He kept wondering who he could turn to to save his son.

Suddenly hearing that someone came to say that it was Master Di, Gongyang Zhishang was shocked and blurted out.

"I just thought about bribing Lord Si Nong, you know?"

Di Ying: "...... Bribing court officials, how many heads do you have? ”

Gongyang Zhishang was immediately frightened and knelt down.

He kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Xiaomin just thinks, just thinks, Xiaomin doesn't dare......"

"Okay, then you can make meritorious atonements."

Di Ying didn't talk nonsense after speaking, and walked into the house directly bypassing people.

After seeing that there was no one else in the house, he motioned for Zhou Rin to close the door.

This posture, this tone, this battle......

Even if Gongyang Zhishang is the richest man in Jeonluozhou, even if he has bribed some court officials, but in the face of Lord Di, he has no luck in his heart.

I feel that all the bad things I have done have been known by Master Di.

With a sad face, he knelt and turned around, wanting to confess all of them in order to ask for leniency.

But just after he said: "Xiaomin has missed the ...... of paying taxes over the years", he heard Master Di interrupt him: "Tell me about Zang Zhongsheng you have seen." ”

Gongyang Zhishang: "......"

After being stunned for a moment, he immediately shook his head and denied: "No, no, no, Xiaomin doesn't know what Master Di is talking about......

Suddenly, seeing Master Di's face turn cold, Gongyang Zhishang was so cold that he shivered, immediately shook his head and nodded, nodded vigorously and said, "Xiaomin has seen it, I have seen it." ”

Then he went on in a huff.

"Xiaomin knows his mistake, Xiaomin shouldn't have tried to spend a million taels of silver to buy an official. But it is precisely because of this that I was fortunate to see Zang Zhongsheng.

He also invited Xiaomin to drink tea for a while.

Half a year ago, that is, on the 15th day of the seventh month of last year, Xiaomin went to Xifeng Mountain and the village at the foot of the mountain to collect the rent of the first season of grain.

There is only one courtyard on that mountain, which belongs to the former governor of the Luozhou garrison and Chen Boyu's family.

It's just that Chen Boyu was sued by the county order of Shehong County three years ago and put in prison.

After that, the annex was abandoned.

When Xiao Min saw that the pedestrian seemed to be heading towards the courtyard, he felt very strange, so he quietly followed.

When the pedestrian reached the gate of the courtyard, he did not enter.

The first of them turned around and said something to the person behind him.

Xiaomin recognized that the man was Zang Zhongsheng.

It's just that he's not as fat as before, and he's not as domineering as before, and he doesn't look like it anymore.

But Xiaomin has always remembered the sarcoma next to his nose.

Because Xiaomin is a bit of a quirk......

When I sent the silver back then, when I saw his sarcoma, my fingers itched so much that I always wanted to go up and pick it out for him......

Now that sarcoma has gotten bigger, the size of a tiny nail, I want to pick it even more when I see it......

I finally held back, and was so frightened that I slipped away quietly.

That's Zang Zhongsheng, the rumored person who was beheaded.

When Xiaomin slipped to the foot of the mountain and slipped home, he was still looking at the sun overhead, wondering if there was something evil in the daytime, and he went to the temple many times in a row.

My lord, you—You suddenly came to him and asked, is it—......?"

"Don't guess."

Di Ying interrupted Gongyang Zhishang's words, and then said: "You will be limited to seven days to make up all the taxes and silver you owe over the years, including the fines."

In addition, the names and numbers of officials who have done bad deeds and who have been bribed are clearly written down and presented to the officials.

If there is any falsehood or deception, beware that the whole people of your people are not protected. ”

After speaking, he left with Zhou Rin.

Only Gongyang Zhishang, who was trembling and panicked, was left to find the account book.

"My lord, do you think Gongyang Zhishang's words are credible?"

On the way back to the official room, Zhou Rin asked softly.

"Credible."

Di Ying replied simply.

I was so sure that the person was Zang Zhongsheng, and there was nothing that was not credible.

It's just that Zang Zhong wins people?

If you can't find someone, it's useless to be credible.

It's been half a year, and Zang Zhongsheng still doesn't know where he's hiding.

As soon as Di Ying thought of this, she was stabbed in the lungs by Zhou Rin.

"It's His Majesty's protector, right?"

Di Ying: "......"

He wanted to say that he didn't know, and he didn't talk nonsense until he found out.

I heard Zhou Rin ask himself and answer: "It must be." Otherwise, such a big case and so many people are staring at it, if it weren't for His Majesty's manipulation in it, absolutely no one would dare to transfer Zang Zhongsheng. ”

Di Ying: "...... You're still cute when you're still two words or two words. ”

Zhou Rin: "...... I don't believe you guessed. ”

Di Ying grinds his teeth.

"I guess there's a fart! With such a big dynasty and such a long time, where is he going to be a cat, and where am I going to find someone?

Even that Yan Zhiwei, I haven't found it yet.

Wei Pu, who escaped back then, was still taught by you, no, he was inadvertently killed by Wei Zhi.

What's the use of me?!

Your Majesty wants to protect Zang Zhongsheng, what can I do? ”

said angrily, suddenly thought of something, suddenly stopped his feet, frowned and said tightly: "Chen Boyu? Go and get his case file out, and I'll see him in prison. ”

Chen Boyu, a great poet, a generation of writers, one of the leading figures of poetry in the early Tang Dynasty, has an open temperament, generosity and boldness.

Three years ago, his father died of illness after returning to his hometown, and Chen Boyu resigned from his official position to serve filial piety.

During the period of filial piety, he was suddenly sued by the county magistrate of Shehong County and Wang Liangji: During the period of filial piety, he drank prostitutes, and killed people while drunk, and was put on death row.

It's just that he hasn't been asked.

Di Ying guessed: It is estimated that the case is famous, but Lu Kairui was pressed down and did not report it.

But......

Could Chen Boyu be the one who secretly hid Zang Zhongsheng?
