Su Xiaolou and his entourage sent the two Cao Ye and Dai Qingyuan back to the Yamen of the Governor of the River and asked the Governor Zheng to take care of them on their behalf. As the governor of the river, although Lord Zheng was deficient in managing his subordinates, he actively cooperated with them to arrest corrupt officials, which shows that he is an honest official and will not shield his own people, so they are more comfortable with handing over the two important prisoners to Lord Zheng to guard.

After Cao Ye woke up, he became Cao Ye who threatened not to be afraid of any threat before, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry about what he said last night.

Su Xiaolou felt that Cao Ye was scheming, and it was difficult to deal with the surface and the back, and he said that he would never betray his friends, but he confessed everything in a blink of an eye......

When Cao Ye was taken away by the officials of the governor's yamen, he glanced at Su Xiaolou meaningfully, and he didn't expect that the life and death of these people were in the hands of a small general banner, he had already said what he should say and what he shouldn't say, and the rest was up to Su Xiaolou.

The struggle between the Marquis of Shouning and the King of Ning is no longer a matter of one or two days, they have long had a grudge against Yangzhou's resources over the years, they don't care about the life or death of the chess pieces, let alone the life or death of the people, and the power in their hands can cultivate more chess pieces.

Su Xiaolou and his entourage handed over the two prisoners to the officials, and immediately returned to Yangzhou Mansion.

The night gradually faded, the sky was glowing with a faint light, sparrows chirping in the branches, welcoming the new day, Su Xiaolou and others walked in the first rays of the morning sun and returned to the official post of Yangzhou Mansion.

Su Xiaolou, who had been riding a horse all night, was stiff and uncomfortable, and rubbed his sore buttocks, which was really uncomfortable......

Why bother coming back, you must ask him how he protects his buttocks, he must have some secret recipe to protect his buttocks, otherwise how can a weak scholar who has not learned martial arts toss back and forth all day long without showing fatigue on his face, and his fighting spirit is high every day.

Bao Zhutou came over and asked curiously, "What's the matter with you?" Is there an urgency to urinate? The thatched hut is over there. ”

"My ass hurts."

“……”

Su Xiaolou took out a ball of cotton from his pants, and everyone's eyes widened, if it wasn't for a layer of padding, his ass would have worn out the skin long ago.

The fat man and the others watched Su Xiaolou throw the cotton aside, and complained, "Boss, why don't you remind me?" I knew I was stuffed too, my thighs were worn out, and my ass was about to become four-petaled."

"Boss, I have a sore butt, too"

“……”

Su Xiaolou said indifferently: "You are all old butts, what is there to maintain." ”

“……”

Bao Arrest Boss instructed some arresters and secret agents who stayed in Yanzhou Mansion to keep an eye on the Yanzhou Prefect's Tong Zhao's other courtyard, and report any movement immediately.

Su Xiaolou limped back to the room and slept on the bed, but he was in a heavy mood, and his mind kept recalling what Cao Ye said.

After dark, the blind man asked Su Xiaolou to get up and eat something, and after a few simple bites of food, Su Xiaolou and the others quietly went to Wang Chonghua's courtyard

Bao Catcher easily subdued the guards, and then found the thatched hut next to the cesspool in Wang Chonghua's courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

"Who's going to go down?" They looked at each other without talking.

Su Xiaolou was speechless: "Bao Zhutou, this is a dung pit!" If it's deep, you'll die if you jump down, so let's go find a fishing net! ”

"Where did the nets come from?"

Hearing that it was going to die, several officials changed their faces and went to look for fishing nets, and it took a few people who were blind in the black light to find a net pocket in a warehouse for a long time, which seemed to be used to catch things floating in the water.

Bao Catcher took the net pocket, rolled up his sleeves and planned to go into battle in person.

Su Xiaolou raised his eyebrows: "Bao Catcher, look at your posture, you usually have a lot of experience in scooping?" ”

Bao Zhutou glanced at him, and with a wave of his hand, golden gold bars appeared in the net pocket wrapped in.

Su Xiaolou took off the hairband on his head and plugged his mouth and nose: "! I'm really hiding this. ”

Bao Catcher replied: "And the number is quite considerable." ”

Su Xiaolou ran over, snatched the fishing net in the hand of the head of the fisher, and was eager to try: "Let me fish, I am an expert in stirring." ”

Bao Zhutou was a little crying and laughing, Su Xiaolou could always say things that he didn't expect and do things that he didn't expect.

Su Xiaolou fished several times in a row, and suddenly caught a net of gold bars.

"We're rich." Su Xiaolou stared at the silver, his eyes straightened.

Bao Catcher reminded dissatisfiedly: "This is stolen silver." ”

Su Xiaolou didn't care: "It's okay!" I'm not disgusted. ”

"Don't stand so close, and fall into the dung pit again, I don't want to go down and catch you."

Su Xiaolou took this basket as if he hadn't heard it, and put the gold ingots in it without care, and said: "This Wang Chonghua actually threw the gold into the pit, he must not want it, or we will ...... it."

Bao Zhutou said righteously: "Don't even think about it, this is evidence of the crime, and it must be handed over." ”

……

"Where are you hiding the gold?" After returning to the official post, Bao Zhutou asked.

"Why ask?" Bao Zhutou looked at Su Xiaolou and said vigilantly, and said with a wry smile: "I obviously saw that you hid some of it, hand it over quickly." "

Su Xiaolou said with a straight face: "I found it myself, why should I hand it over?" "

“……”

"Now that the stolen silver has not been completely fished out, the top priority is that we should find someone to come and find out all the gold as soon as possible, and then arrest Wang Chonghua."

Bao Zhutou frowned and said, "Then who will we go to help, we have to find the Governor to come and help arrest him." "

Su Xiaolou whispered: "No need for Lord Zheng, hasn't King Ning always wanted to kill Wang Chonghua!" We can ask King Ning for help. "

"That's right."

"I think after we catch Wang Chonghua, we don't need to go any further."

"Why?"

Su Xiaolou said with a serious expression: "This salt case is not as simple as we imagined, aren't you curious about how the list of corrupt officials in Yangzhou of your Criminal Department came from?" "

Bao Zhutou didn't know why he said, "The top gave it to us." "

"And how did the people up there get this list?"

“……”

Su Xiaolou said helplessly: "If my guess is correct, this should be given to the Criminal Department by King Ning, and King Ning wants to use the power of the Criminal Department to weaken the power of Hou Ning in Yangzhou." King Ning and Hou Ninghou both regarded Yangzhou as food on the table, and the two of them fought for me. "

Bao Zhutou sneered and said, "Can Shou Ning Hou easily confront King Ning?" "

Su Xiaolou said helplessly: "Although Shou Ninghou is stupid, are the group of staff under him also stupid?" "

Bao Tou Daigo empowerment: "It seems to make some sense. "

Su Xiaolou said helplessly: "I thought about it carefully, we are just small characters whose arms can't twist their thighs, and we will have to explain our lives here if we continue to investigate." Shou Ning was tough in the background and dared to put his hand into King Ning's rice bowl, and King Ning was angered by Shou Ninghou, so he designed to eradicate the dissidents in Yangzhou. "

Bao Zhutou said regretfully: "Then what now?" I'm afraid that we have already aroused the dissatisfaction of Shou Ninghou! "

Su Xiaolou pondered: "So we want to bring in King Ning's Mansion, let Shou Ninghou think that King Ning was instructed by us to do this, and then pull in Lord Zheng, the governor of the river, to share the firepower, it shouldn't be for anything." However, if we continue to investigate, Shou Ninghou will feel that we are targeting him, and he will attack us in order to protect himself, and Shou Ninghou will probably abandon the pawn and kill the people on the roster."

"Why?"

"I now feel more and more that Cao Ye deliberately let us be caught, and he was convicted without a watch in prison, Shou Ninghou has many means to save him, but if he stays in Yangzhou, Shou Ninghou is likely to attack them, and then support his own people to take the throne, maybe the few people who disappeared before were killed by King Ning.

Bao Zhutou was silent for a while, this twist and turn is really complicated, he is still more willing to solve the case......
