Chapter 129: Raiding the House

The corrupt officials complained in their hearts, what kind of treatment can they enjoy when they come here?

Su Xiaolou said solemnly: "Having said that, I have some questions I want to ask you, and I hope you can tell the truth." ”

"What do you want to ask?"

Su Xiaolou asked, "You are all from Jinshi, right?" ”

Everyone nodded, and proudly revealed their Jinshi ranking, and it was the turn of an old official with a cake face to say weakly: "I don't seem to be, I'm just a lifter." ”

"Lift people?" Su Xiaolou said with a straight face: "You are a person who is indiscriminately filling up the number in the Jinshi pile, get out!" ”

The old officer with the face of the cake closed his mouth, and he felt that he had been treated unfairly by his academic qualifications.

Xiucai smiled helplessly and said, "Boss, get down to business." Su Xiaolou pouted: "Let's continue, you have also seen that through the rectification of our Jinyi Guard, the entire dungeon has become safer and more reliable." Since everyone is here, let me be clear, you need to pay rent to live here. ”

Cao Ye asked, "I haven't heard that the dungeon still has to pay rent!" ”

"You'll hear about it today!" Su Xiaolou continued: "Paying the rent is to return the stolen goods, and at present, only Lord Wang, Lord Cao and Lord Dai pay the rent, and the amount is very high, so the three of them are now the noble criminals of the dungeon. ”

The corrupt officials were speechless, Wang Chonghua couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, the identity of this noble criminal was too shameless.

"It's up to you to decide to pay the rent, and there's no specific amount." Su Xiaolou looked at everyone and said: "But the amount you pay is related to the treatment you enjoy in the cell, as well as the time you have been out of the cell, you adults are full of poetry and books, how to do it cost-effectively, look at it yourself." ”

“……”

Su Xiaolou and his team were hurrying to Huai'an to track down the news of the corrupt officials who had fled with the stolen money. They heard that a large number of Huai'an salt officials had disappeared, and they speculated that these officials did not want to face punishment and did not want to go to prison, so they chose to abscond with the stolen money, but they could not say that they had been killed by King Ning.

Hurried to Huai'an, although Su Xiaolou was very tired, his heart was full of excitement, because they were here to investigate the stolen money.

Su Xiaolou and his party arrived at the gate of one of the corrupt officials, and when they were about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself, and the two subordinates respectfully sent away a team of officials.

Headed by Director Liu of the Yangzhou Qing Officials Division, Bao Zhutou happily greeted loudly: "Brother Liu." ”

Director Liu was also very happy to see his old friend Bao Zhutou: "Brother Bao." Then he looked at Su Xiaolou and the others: "Su Zongqi, why are you here?" ”

"We're here to raid the house."

"Raiding the house?"

Bao Zhutou asked: Brother Liu, are you here to investigate the case? ”

Director Liu said: "I am here to investigate Wei Daoming's disappearance. ”

"Missing?" Bao Zhutou was puzzled: "Wei Daoming is now picking his feet in the prison of the governor of Jiangdu River, how can he disappear?" ”

Director Liu's eyes widened: "What? ”

Bao Zhutou explained: "Wei Daoming is suspected of selling illicit salt and has already turned himself in. ”

Director Liu was puzzled: "Then why did Wei Daoming's wife report Wei Daoming's disappearance?" ”

Bao Zhutou briefly told Director Liu the ins and outs of the matter, but reminded him as if he hadn't heard it.

Director Liu said helplessly: "During this time, many corrupt officials have been imprisoned in Yangzhou Government, and many officials have disappeared, and I have received many reports in the past two days. ”

The official who was picking his feet in prison whispered to Mr. Liu, and said meaningfully: "The salt introduction case in Yangzhou involves many people, Brother Liu, you had better avoid getting involved." ”

Director Liu said indifferently: "I am only responsible for investigating the matter of the missing officials, and I don't know anything else." ”

Su Xiaolou watched them from the side and didn't speak, it was understandable for Director Liu to do this, it was wise to protect himself. In this day and age, the rate of solving cases is not high, and if you can't find someone, it can only be counted as a missing case, and it will naturally be shelved in the end.

In the Yangzhou area, the only one who can make people disappear completely without a trace is King Ning. As the prefect of Yangzhou, Wang Chonghua is like a tall tree, now it has been uprooted, and those below who are just coveting cheap in his sphere of influence will naturally flee in all directions, just a little escape or escape slower, it will inevitably be slaughtered by King Ning, but in the end, it will be carried by the Marquis of Shou Ning or the Ministry of Punishment.

Now that Uncle Guo is covering the sky with one hand in the court, although King Ning does not dare to confront him head-on, he is also unwilling to swallow his anger, so he will use the hand of the criminal department to eliminate dissidents.

Director Liu knew that Bao Zhutou was coming to raid the house, so he led a group of officials away.

……

Su Xiaolou and the others swaggered into the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Wei came out of the inner house and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, why did you come to my Wei Mansion?" ”

Su Xiaolou sent a document from Lord Qincha and said: "Lord Wei is suspected of selling illicit salt, and he has surrendered, and we are here to search for Tibetan silver." ”

Mrs. Wei's body stiffened: "What? How is my grandfather now? ”

Seeing that Mrs. Wei was in a hurry, and was about to faint with anger, Su Xiaolou comforted: "Madam, please rest assured, Lord Wei is chatting with several adults in prison with melon seeds, his body is very good, and he can eat three bowls in one meal." ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

At this time, a beautiful woman ran out anxiously with autumn water in her eyes and asked, "How is the situation of our master?" ”

The housekeeper replied, "Aunt Lin, the master is safe and sound. ”

Aunt Lin looked at Su Xiaolou and the others, and asked with some confusion, "Who are they?" ”

The housekeeper's heart tightened, and he quickly replied: "They are the arresters of the Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department, and they are here to search." ”

The second lady turned pale with fright: "Search? ”

Su Xiaolou stared at Aunt Lin, and couldn't imagine that Wei Daoming still hid such a beauty.

"Seeing you crying so sadly, were you forced to marry by Wei Daoming? If Wei Daoming is found guilty, all property will be seized, and now you still have a chance to get out of here. ”

......

Bao Zhutou reminded Su Xiaolou: "Brother Su, it's far away, let's get down to business." ”

Su Xiaolou quibbled: "Aren't I dealing with business?" I'm trying to save a poor woman in trouble. ”

“......”

Bao Catcher shook his head and led the catchers to find the silver. Soon, Mazi came back and reported: "Leader, we have found the secret room, and there are many gold and silver treasures in it. ”

Su Xiaolou said excitedly: "My babies, I'm here!" ”

There is a small door in the basement wall, and behind the door is a small secret room filled with gold bars, porcelain, etc......

Bao Zhutou looked at Su Xiaolou, whose eyes were glowing with golden light, and gave him a blank look: "Didn't you say that you want to be a concubine in water and fire?" ”

"Let her fend for herself."

“......”
