On the fifth day when the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Hai family buried themselves in checking the accounts, Du Boqin's house was surrounded.

The operation was led by the Chang'an Mansion, but the main force was the soldiers of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division. The old marshal of Zhenguo Gong Zhou also personally attended the town. In fact, he still has the official position of the governor of Shaanxi, but in addition to being in charge of military affairs, he has rarely acted in this capacity, so the officials and people in the northwest are accustomed to calling him "Grandpa Guo" or "old marshal". But when necessary, he will also play the banner of the governor of Shaanxi, so that some military attaches who have committed crimes can see the majesty of his old man.

Almost none of Du Boqin's personal soldiers were arrested, and two of them had not been found for the time being, and some of them had confessed their whereabouts, and there would be soldiers from the capital to arrest them. On Thursday, the general personally led people to squat in a deserted mansion near Du's house to Du Boqin himself, who had escaped from the tunnel. When the latter saw that he had fallen into a siege, he knew that he would not be able to escape, but he didn't understand how the Zhou family found it, could it be that someone in the family betrayed him?

Du Boqin thought that after the death of the old concubine in the family, many servants in the family saw that his eyes had changed, and he cursed in his heart. However, in front of General Thursday, the military attache of the same period, he was unwilling to lose his demeanor, even if he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary farmer, he had to hold his head high and act like a big man, wanting to say a few beautiful words and defend himself. However, on Thursday, the general was not interested in talking to him at all, and without saying anything, he sent him directly to the Zhenguo Gong and Huang Zhifu.

When Du Boqin saw Zhen Guogong, his waist collapsed subconsciously, under the direct gaze of his old man, the words of justification that he had originally thought of could no longer be said fluently, squeaked, anyone who listened, felt that he had a weak heart, and he must be a guilty person!

Zhen Guogong didn't plan to say anything more to him, and after staring at him for a while, he turned to Huang Zhifu and said, "People will be locked up in the prison of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division." In the follow-up interrogation, Governor Huang can be a witness. ”

Governor Huang also understood the meaning of Zhenguo's words: "Rest assured, Grandpa Guo, the lower officials will send a new note to Beijing today to explain the truth of the matter to the emperor." Such a traitorous and evil person naturally needs to be imprisoned as soon as possible in order to make people feel at ease. ”

Zhen Guogong nodded, then turned around and left.

General Thursday and General Saturday joined forces to take Du Boqin to the prison of the Judgment Division in the Yamen of the Shaanxi Province. Huang Zhifu also brought his subordinate officials to accompany him, and watched Du Boqin be imprisoned in a cell, while his personal soldiers, party henchmen, and several well-known stewards of the Du family were imprisoned elsewhere.

Du Boqin's treatment in prison was negotiated between the Zhenguo Mansion and the Chang'an Mansion for a long time, and the single cell was separated from the other people's cells by a distance, and it was impossible to exchange news. He himself has a separate small stove for three meals a day, and even the purchase has to be sent separately, and the people in charge of guarding him are specially allocated: those who came from the border army are all from border towns outside Chang'an and have never dealt with the Dusun family; Those who came from the government office, the three generations and the five clans, must have never had contact with the Dusun family - this is a lesson learned from the previous jailer's eyeliner.

The Zhenguo Mansion, the Shaanxi Prefecture and the Chang'an Mansion were so cautious and cautious, naturally they were worried that this Du Boqin would be killed in prison. Even small people like Zhang Pinggui and Wang Laoliu can confess a lot of the Sun family's secrets, not to mention that Du Boqin is still a secret ally of the Sun family? He must have known more and more important information.

Moreover, Du Boqin is a senior military attache of the third grade, and the weight of his confession in front of the emperor is not comparable to that of two low-level killers.

The Zhenguo Mansion has the intention of using his good life to attack political enemies, but of course it can't sit back and watch him be killed. The people were specially locked up in the prison of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, not the government prison or any other place, because this is the territory of the border army that the Sun family will never reach, and it is heavily guarded day and night.

But even so, Zhen Guogong didn't think that the Sun family would really accept their fate. In order to protect Du Boqin, a sinner who might turn into a witness, he did not hesitate to use the strictest means of defense.

How the prison of the Judgment Division was tightly defended and not mentioned, when the news of Du Boqin's arrest reached the Hai family, it was already night. Haixi Cliff, who returned home from the Dusi Yamen, brought back the good news, from Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun, Lu Bainian to Ma's, Haichang'an, Haijiao and Begonia, everyone was overjoyed.

But joy is rejoicing, the work that should be done must continue to be done, and the night that should be stayed up cannot be lost one night.

By this time, most of the account books had been cleared, and many of Du Boqin's crimes had been exposed. Xie Wenzai reported the results of the analysis to the Zhenguo Mansion, and someone went to investigate the relevant criminal evidence. The reason why Zhen Guogong and Huang Zhifu acted so quickly was because they already had a lot of evidence in their hands, which was enough to convict Du Boqin.

The three grandchildren of the Hai family all felt that their efforts had paid off, and they were more motivated to work.

On the evening of the seventh day when the ancestors of the Hai family buried themselves in the audit, they finally completed all the audit work. Xie Wenzai didn't care that it was the second watch day at this time, so he immediately notified the Zhenguo Gong's soldiers who were guarding near Haijia's house, and sent four large boxes of account books, notes, and documents to the Zhenguo Mansion. In order to prevent the town from being inquired about, Hai Xiya also simply tidied up his hair and clothes, and went with his cousin Xie Wenzai to the car.

The two juniors of Haijiao and Begonia stayed at home to rest.

Ma had already fallen asleep, but when he heard the news, he got up again, cooked a pot of hot noodle soup himself, and watched the two children eat it, so he urged them to go back to the house to sleep.

She looked at her grandson's haggard appearance, and she was very distressed: "It's been hard for you these days." It was originally your grandfather's messenger, but he called both of you, and the half-grown child was forced by him to sleep well every night, and he didn't even know that he was distressed! ”

Haijiao smiled: "Grandma, I can help grandpa, and my grandson is happy." The grandson is not hard, this is what the grandson should do. The grandson will inherit his grandfather's position in the army in the future! He turned his head to look at his sister, "It's been a hard time for my little sister these days." She's still young, and she's a female doll, so if it weren't for helping my grandfather and me, I wouldn't have been involved in these things......"

Begonia's mental state is much stronger than that of her grandfather and brother. Although she also had two shallow dark circles on her face, it was far less obvious than the Haixi Cliff and the reef, and her complexion looked good, and her hair and clothes were not messy. Compared to her grandfather's and brother's emaciated appearance, she didn't look like she had stayed up for days and nights at all. This is because she tries her best to get enough sleep every day, and she doesn't forget to eat to supplement her nutrition, and then use her internal strength to regulate her body. Coupled with such high-intensity work, she was already used to it in the palace in her previous life. Although it has been a long time since I have been absent now, I have quickly adapted to it. Such an advantage is something that others do not have.

Haitang put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled: "I don't think there's anything hard about it." Being able to help my grandfather and brother proves that my true skills are no worse than my brother's, and I am happy in my heart! She turned to her grandmother, "Grandma, if she wants to find someone to do any work in the future, just come to me." I'm pretty good at it now! ”

Ma Shi glanced at his granddaughter: "If you want to settle accounts and take inventory, don't you know how to do it yourself?" Why do you want to find a child?! I knew you were so strong, I shouldn't have taught you to plan in the first place! Eben is counting on you to help take care of the housework and share the burden for Eben, who told you to get involved with the messengers in your grandfather's yamen?! Now he is still bragging in front of his grandmother...... That's it, I know you're a cow! The third watch is almost here, hurry up and go back to the house to sleep! ”
