Juan'er nodded: "No wonder they left so early after breakfast." She also felt that they were late, and it was not good that they didn't notify the second aunt and Uncle Qiu.

They pack up their things, although Tongxi Lou will also send some of them, but they are different from the dishes at home, no matter what the taste is, it is always good at home.

They got into the carriage, went to the Dali Temple Prison, walked in, found acquaintances, and took money to make money, but the jailer looked cautious and waved his hand: "Go in and have a look, don't linger long." ”

As soon as Lin Piao saw him talking like this, he was a little nervous: "Is something wrong?" ”

The jailer waved his hand, avoiding his eyes, Lin Piao knew that although the jailer always liked to urge before, it was only out of caution, and he could do whatever he wanted when the money was in place, but today he changed his attitude, as if the matter was serious.

Seeing that he didn't speak and didn't ask more, Lin Piao hurriedly walked inside with Xiaoyue and Juan'er, looking at the dim cell, until the single room where Ergou was, the jailer opened the door and asked them to put their things and come out.

Xiaoyue and Juan'er also felt the pressure of this urging, walked into the prison quickly, looked at the three of them, and saw that the second dog was lying on the bed alive, with a small cotton quilt they had sent in, and a piece of dried meat in their mouths, thinking about things while slowly grinding their teeth.

Ergou turned his head sideways and saw the three of them coming, so he sat up a little unexpectedly: "It's so early today?" What food is coming again? ”

Lin Piao glanced at him and saw a pile of broken eggshells on the simple wooden table on the side, so he knew that he shouldn't have a big problem at the moment: "What's going on again?" ”

Ergou was a little dazed: "Huh? What's up? I'm fine here, it's fine. ”

Although going to prison is a big deal in itself, it doesn't seem like anything significant has happened outside of it, right? Ergou was a little puzzled.

Lin Piao looked at his performance, he really didn't know anything, Lin Piao cleaned up his expression a little: "I see that the jailer's tone and expression are a little wrong, you should pay attention to yourself." Lin Piao won't say much, after all, Ergou is now locked up here, and what he can do is limited, and saying too much will make Ergou anxious, and life will be more difficult.

Ergou nodded: "It shouldn't be fine, aren't the jailers like that all day long, they are just afraid that they will be caught if something happens to them, and they are worried all day long." Ergou said as he said, but his mind began to turn, wondering what could be wrong.

The jailer kept urging them outside to stop talking, and when Xiao Yue saw this, she walked out, scattered some money, and said something like asking them to take care of the second dog more, and bought a little more time.

They opened the food box, put the garbage piled up in Ergou's room and took it away in the empty food box, and Juan'er also sent him several sachets.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er were amused by his appearance, and even said that he didn't like to speak.

Ergou was cheeky: "Like a painting? How can a good person be like a painting? ”

After chatting for a few words, they couldn't resist the urging, so they walked out with their things and walked to the door of the Dali Temple Prison, where Lin Piao looked at the jailer: "My lord, can you tell me what happened?" ”

"I can't afford it, don't call me an adult, it's okay, you go home and wait, I guess you'll know, I'm really hard to say."

Lin Piao nodded: "Master Xie." ”

When the three of them walked out of the Dali Temple Prison, the coachman waited cautiously outside, and when he saw the three of them come out, he relaxed, put his feet down, and invited the three of them to get into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Xiaoyue and Juan'er were a little worried: "Little sister-in-law, nothing really will happen, right?" ”

"No, even if something happens, Shen Hong will definitely find a way to deal with the past, in short, nothing big will happen." Lin Piao understood why Shen Hong liked to say to himself that it was okay at every turn, no matter what was wrong, under the worried inquiries of others, he wanted to calm the uneasy heart that followed him.

The carriage sent Juan'er and Xiaoyue to Yuemingfang first, and the coachman asked, "Is Madame in Yuemingfang or going home?" ”

"Go home." Lin Piao looked sideways at Xiaoyue and Juan'er: "I'll go home first, if you want to come back early, you can come back after you have sorted out the affairs in the store." ”

The two men nodded their heads and got out of the carriage.

Lin Piao lowered the curtain and stayed in the carriage alone, feeling really panicked, he had a bad premonition, and always felt that things were a little big, but he couldn't say what was going on.

Back at the house, Lin Piao went straight to Shen Hong's yard, but he didn't see anyone, Lin Piao found Qingyu and asked her to find someone to contact Shanzi, so that Shen Hong would come back early if he was fine.

"If he really can't come back outside, write a note to me first, I want to talk to him about the second dog." Lin Piao thought that if Shen Hong knew what was going on, it was estimated that he would already be outside by now, and it would be useless to rush him back, if only he could come and explain it clearly.

Qing Yu saw that he was a little anxious, and nodded again and again: "Madam, I will send someone to find Wangshan immediately." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Go quickly." Watching people leave the yard, Lin Piao was bored and wandered around the yard, the sun slowly rose, the faint sunlight became hot, and he couldn't stand in the yard, Lin Piao could only walk under the eaves to enjoy the coolness.

As soon as the sun was hot, the cicadas, who did not know where they were hiding, suddenly chirped, which made the cochlea tremble, and Qing Yu went to arrange for his return, so he made a small table and chair and put it under the eaves, so that he could sit in the cloister and rest in the shade.

Lin Piao waited for half an hour, and finally waited for a reply, and Shen Hong also returned.

Shen Hong walked into the courtyard, Shanzi followed him, and as soon as he walked down the steps, he raised his eyes and saw Lin Piao sitting under the eaves waiting.

"It's hot outside, why don't you go to the study and wait?"

Lin Piao stood up: "What the hell is going on?" Is something going on over there with Ergou? I went to see him today, and I felt that the jailer's attitude was really wrong. "It's not just the words, the looks, the eyes, it's definitely something inside.

Lin Piao looked at him: "It is true that something happened, the master who changed the facts of the case and the testimony committed suicide at home." ”

"Huh?" Lin Piao was a little dumbfounded, although he had seen some strong winds and waves, but he would die at every turn, and commit suicide at every turn, this kind of thing still had an impact on Lin Piao.

"That'...... Isn't there no proof of death? Is it just to act like this in order to detain the second dog on the charge? ”

Although Lin Piao's head was a little confused, he also felt that the problem was, what good could it do to kill Ergou's master book? No matter how great the benefit is, it is not something that a dead person can enjoy, but only those who are still alive and well.

Shen Hong nodded: "Go to the study and say." ”

"Just say it outside, I'll go back and rest after that, and then let Da Zhuang see how to find some relationship with Ergou."

Shen Hong glanced at him: "Okay." ”

Lin Piao avoided the study, and Shen Hong naturally couldn't break it, so he briefly talked to him about the before and after of this incident.

Last night, the master who was suspected of planting two dogs suddenly hanged himself, which was originally a boundless matter, and no one had been arrested, but the other party suddenly made such an act, not to mention them, Dali Temple was also very surprised, but once the case was touched with people's lives, especially the lives of their own people inside, the matter became serious, so they changed their attitudes one by one, for fear of causing trouble.

Before and after Lin Piao listened, he didn't understand why this person committed suicide, and he suspected that he killed him, but would it be a little too obvious and exaggerated for him to kill? Even if you want to deal with Ergou, what can be solved with a small operation is now directly drawn out, and the people behind it have to be involved, and the minimally invasive surgery will directly cause disembowelment.

Lin Piao didn't stay long, Shen Hong went to move him, and he went to find Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang and Uncle Qiu are counting the goods in the small warehouse outside, and a new batch of treasures from the south to the north are piled up here, dried shrimp, dried scallops, dried abalone, sea cucumbers and other things transported from the seaside, newly harvested loquat berries and other things, all exist here, the second aunt and Uncle Qiu are in charge of the usual daily purchases, and Da Zhuang is in charge of these non-daily orders.

When Lin Piao, Da Zhuang was looking at the account book with one hand, crackling with the other, and the posture was like a ruthless judgment, but if he was not right, the guy who was waiting for the fall below would not want to live.

Uncle Qiu sat on the sidelines and guarded, without speaking, helping to sort out the account books and tidy up the stacks that had been ordered.

Da Zhuang these years apprenticeship for most of the bookkeeper Mr., from the county government began to follow the Tongxi Lou account room began to learn to calculate accounts, after arriving in Beijing excellence, Yuemingfang and Tongxi Lou on both sides of the account room he consulted, now he is young and fast brain memory is good, is completely complete.

Lin Piao stood next to him and waited for a while, Da Zhuang kept pointing the date and goods while dialing the beads, and after he said the three words "no problem", the person in charge of this batch of goods immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, the small shopkeeper also often checked the accounts, but some small mistakes and omissions were passed with one eye closed, and he didn't know what medicine to take wrong in the past few days, and suddenly he was like a prisoner, and every time he passed the test, it was the same as the rest of his life after the robbery.

Da Zhuang glanced to the side and saw Lin Piao standing next to him, Lin Piao usually does not come here, and he also looked at the Tongxi Building to see the situation in the back kitchen and the business in the building, and whether the food was served lazily and so on.

Da Zhuang counted the steps in his hand clean, and then stopped: "This is the first thing, and the rest will continue later." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little, Da Zhuang and Zheng Qiu stood up, walked towards Lin Piao, and arrived in front of them: "Little sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

"The matter of the two dogs."

Da Zhuang's expression was solemn: "What's wrong with the second dog?" ”

Lin Piao told Da Zhuang about the matter, and Da Zhuang also knew the seriousness of the matter, and his face became more and more serious: "If you don't plan this matter for him, you can't do it...... otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to pass this hurdle."

Lin Piao nodded: "Shen Hong is trying to figure out a way over there, but you also know that Shen Hong can't help too clearly, you are more familiar with the matter of money exchanges, can you find any connection?" ”

After all, Da Zhuang is a mixed party in Beijing, especially when he runs a restaurant, he is quite impressive, and he has a very good relationship with some of the original ones.

Da Zhuang said: "This matter has to find the relationship of Dali Temple, I know a brother in the family is Dali Temple, the specific is not very clear, when the time comes, I try to ask, see if you can use it, Ergou has two brothers, good friendship, the recent matter of Ergou is in contact with them, although they do not have much great affection, but they are still willing to help some." ”

"You go get in touch and see what you can do."

Da Zhuang nodded, he had been a little confused recently, but he knew that Ergou's matter could not be taken lightly, no matter what his current state was, he had to be cautious to prevent any problems.

Lin Piao sent the news to Da Zhuang's side, and Da Zhuang also made arrangements, mainly to keep Ergou and find some internal relationships that could work.

Originally, according to Shen Hong's thoughts, the pot was thrown to Ergou by someone else anyway, and it was just thrown back directly, and there was no need to expand the battlefield and cause trouble.

This inexplicably died a person, not only they were a little panicked, but the other party also felt a little ridiculous, the matter was reported, and the teacup was closed: "You said he committed suicide?" ”

"Yes, my lord, this is indeed a bit unexpected."

It was just that he was told to frame Li Lingyue, and now that the case was about to be reversed, Shen Hong secretly protected Li Lingyue, and the matter was revealed and the guilt would fall on him, but he expected that things were going to be wrong, and it was his turn to suffer, so he was so frightened that he committed suicide.

The person sitting on the top snorted: "You are so brave that you are scared to death?" It is no wonder that at this age, he has only reached the main book, Li Lingyue is much more like a character than him, in front of several commanders whose grades are much higher than him, he can cut people to death with a few knives. ”

"Yes, my lord, Li Lingyue is a ruthless character, but I don't think Shen Hong has so much heart to protect him, my lord doesn't look like he is competing with Shen Hong, and he doesn't want to rely on Shen Hong, but he has enough strength to climb up, doesn't he just want to overpower Shen Hong, Shen Hong may not want to deal with a ruthless villain like him."

The adult smiled: "After all, when a village comes out, the smaller the place, the more affectionate it is, not to mention that Shen Hong still has those brothers and girls around him, and they can't do without the word love, Shen Hong still wants to protect him once, although he didn't do anything on the face, and he also moved for him in private, these things are not invisible, since people have committed suicide now, it is the material that is sent to the door, and there is no need to use it in vain, but now I see what Shen Hong can do." ”

"What do you think?"

"Push the boat down the river and give him a ride." The adult blew the foam in the tea bowl, remembered that when someone came to pass the ceremony, he said that Li Lingyue, this kid, had lost the person he had clothed alive, and said that Zhizhou didn't believe in evil at first, but Li Lingyue didn't dare to do it, and wanted to resist, but Li Lingyue's kid held the dagger and slashed directly on his neck, thinly cutting through a layer of skin, and looked at Zhizhou with a smile: "My lord, the blade is always deeper and deeper, and the next knife is not so light, don't you say?" ”

Zhizhou's courage was about to be frightened, and it was his performance at that time that shocked the people present, and he was able to return to Beijing safely, but no one dared to kill him on the way, and they were all on Li Lingyue, and their hearts were weak, Li Lingyue had a life on his hands, but they had never really been stained with blood, so they were naturally afraid of Li Lingyue.

"Li Lingyue, Shen Hong, General Dingyuan." Those who climbed up from the bottom were all ruthless characters, things that wanted fame and fame.

Shen Hong is better, he is a good material who can become a talent, and he is also a person who understands the rules, he is cautious everywhere, and he takes steady steps, neither in the way nor in the way, but Li Lingyue is really an eyesore, and if he does not get rid of it, he is afraid that he will become a disaster.

Lin Piao, they waited from morning to evening, and waited for the news that people wanted to be unconscious.

"Little sister-in-law, now they have found something, saying that Ergou has found someone outside, trying to force the master to take the blame and threaten him with his family, and now it has become Ergou's private bribery to change the case has been discovered, and he wants to frame the blame to his colleagues, who are powerless to resist and commit suicide in despair, and force him to death."

When Lin Piao heard this, he thought to himself that this unlucky child, this cauldron is covered, and he will not be able to say it clearly in this life, even if he survives this catastrophe, when everyone talks about it in the future, there will definitely be a bright red stroke of his suspicion of coercing his colleagues to force them to death.

"What should I do?" Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong, and Da Zhuang also looked at Shen Hong.

No matter how much effort they exert outside, it is just to dredge up the relationship, so that Ergou will not be offended, and find more connections to protect Ergou, but these are all some false, and there must be a direct way to get Ergou out, and now they have no clue, so they can only look at Shen Hong.

Shen Hong sat on the top and was silent for a long time: "They must put the two dogs to death." ”

Lin Piao looked at him: "Is there any other way?" ”

Lin Piao looked at him, very afraid that he said that there was no way to go to this extent, if Shen Hong said that there was no way, then none of them would be able to save Ergou from it, unless he gave up all the prisons, otherwise Ergou would have no chance to live.

"This matter is still under investigation, and there may be opportunities and loopholes in the process."

Lin Piao understood, not for the time being, but things have not yet reached the last step, and he has to wait for a glimmer of life in the process.

Everyone was a little suspenseful, and Da Zhuang comforted: "Although this is all the way it is now, it is not yet conclusive, if you want to prove this matter, we need evidence, and when the evidence is out, we can find a way to see the truth of the evidence, if it can be proved to be false, nothing will happen." ”

Everyone nodded, anyway, they could only see the move, and there was no other way.

Lin Piao is very glad that this case is handled very slowly, whether it is to search for evidence or review in all aspects, it is necessary to repeatedly push and pull the handover, and the connections found by Da Zhuang can just be used, anyway, no matter what he finds, first go up to the seemingly reasonable question, and then look for all kinds of flaws and loopholes, so that the case will not be a word, and he will not say that he will immediately finalize the second dog file and hammer the two dogs to death.

The matter of Ergou has not stopped, and the matter of going to Beijing has not stopped, and Ergou is just a small wave in the waves of Beijing, and recently there have been rumors among the people that the emperor may have gone crazy.

In short, I don't know who came out, but this word spread inexplicably, all saying that the emperor may be about to die, and he always called his brother at night, but recently he has begun to see his brother at night, and the palace has invited the Buddha to practice, and the altar of water and land rituals has been opened.

When Lin Piao heard the news, he felt that the emperor's trust was quite miscellaneous, and that the believers in cultivation and magic, and the monks in transcendence and reincarnation belonged to the specialization of the art industry, and arranged both sides clearly.

Now everyone is secretly discussing in private whether the emperor is going to die, whether the living person has seen the soul, or the soul of the person he has been thinking about, isn't this the idea of being taken away?

There are also many people who are talking about it, saying that the emperor seems to be "scared sick" and wondering if there is something wrong with him and the former prince, otherwise he is so worried about his brother, how can he be scared sick when he sees him, obviously he is reminiscing about the old days, how can he make it seem like he is here to ask for his life?

There are also some people who understand metaphysics outside, saying that although the emperor invited the Buddha to surpass the former prince, hoping that the former prince would enter the world of bliss, enter the realm of heaven and man, be free from suffering, and enjoy all the good things, but he also invited Taoist priests to help suppress him, saying that if the former prince refused to leave, he would be suppressed under the palace for eternity.

As soon as there were different opinions, the sky above Beijing seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious runes, and the fate and soul of the royal family were constantly floating around.

As things evolved, Ergou's matter became a cold bench that few people cared about, because now there was a commotion in the court.

The emperor is also cultivating immortals and practices, and the emperor's state has not been greatly affected before, and the old ministers regard it as some of the emperor's private hobbies, but now the influence is getting bigger and bigger, seeing that people seem to be going crazy, the loyal ministers began to sit still, and the admonitions of the admonitions, the dissuasion of the dissuasion, one by one, took out 200 percent of the skin of the loyal ministers, put it on and began to step into the battlefield.
