Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie saw Lord Liu take out two jade plates and an envelope from the back hall, and handed them to Yin Xuesong: "This is a letter from the imperial book written by Lord Long Live himself, instructing me to personally hand it over to you, originally I was going to leave for Hecheng to find you the day after tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come today." I'll be relieved if I solve a matter sooner, so let's see. ”

Yin Xuesong saluted and took the envelope, and respectfully took out the letter paper from it, there are two pages, the content of the first page is some words of encouragement and encouragement, and the content of the second page is the most critical. The general content is that they can boldly deal with any unfair and foreign invasion in the Kanto region, and if they encounter any problems, they will report them directly to Lord Liu, and then Lord Liu will start to play long live. He also rewarded Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie with a jade plaque, with this jade plaque, it is the same as Shang Fang's sword, as long as the jade plaque is taken out, it is like me coming in person, and those who dare to resist can correct the law on the spot, and there is a use of cutting first and then playing. Zhenliao Duwei is above Jinyiwei, and in the Kanto Province they are the supreme leader of this place. To put it bluntly, except for the emperor himself and Lord Liu, no one can control them and maximize their rights and responsibilities. The Kanto region is the first line of defense of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be negligent. Submit a copy of the report every month, explaining the status of the month. The content of the letter ended here, Yin Xuesong put away the letterhead, bowed three times and bowed nine times in the direction of the palace, got up and said to Lord Liu: "Long live what Lord said is true?"

Master Liu replied with a smile: "Haven't you seen it all, don't you believe what you have seen with your own eyes?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I didn't expect that Lord Banzai would trust us such a group of rough people in the mountains, this time our motivation is even greater, and we will definitely not live up to the trust of the saints. Yin Xuesong swore and said: "Lord Liu, can I understand it this way, as long as we have conclusive evidence, we can directly bring him to justice?"

"That's a good idea, but in this matter, I think it's better to go and say hello to the squire of the military department, after all, it's his brother-in-law, it's better to let him know first than to inform him afterwards. And now that I am in the middle, he will not make things difficult for you. Master Liu stroked his beard and said.

"The matter is urgent, Lord Liu, should we go to the military department now? We should go back to work as soon as possible." "Yin Xuesong doesn't want to delay for a moment.

Lord Liu agreed without thinking: "I'll take you to Lord Qin, the squire of the military department." ”

Without saying anything all the way, the three of them came to the mansion of Lord Qin, the squire of the military department. Lord Qin personally greeted him and brought him to the study for tea. The host and the host of the guests sat down, and Lord Qin said enthusiastically: "Although Brother Yin and Brother Xiao are ministers in the same hall, the opportunity to meet is really rare, what are you doing with Lord Liu in my mansion today?"

Yin Xuesong replied politely: "I have long heard that Lord Qin is an official, and my brothers have long wanted to come to visit, and they are also busy with official business, so they have not found time. Today is also an opportunity to deal with official business to have a glimpse of Lord Qin's demeanor. He looked at Lord Liu: "Huh...... Actually, we came here to tell you something, your brother-in-law, that is, our Baixian Order of Hecheng, has something going on, and we can't get the scale, so I'll come over to ask you Lord Qin. ”

When the squire heard that these three people were here for his brother-in-law Bai, he could guess a little bit in his heart, and he must have done something excessive in Hecheng to let the two newly appointed Sanpin officials know, so he came to discuss with him. This Lord Qin was still a little proud in his heart, he knew that the relationship between these two people and Lord Liu was very close, and their official positions were also invited down by Lord Liu personally in front of the emperor, and his brother-in-law had a problem, so he could not have known about it in advance. Unexpectedly, Lord Liu actually took them to find him, and it seems that his status in the court is still very high. When he was beaming with pride, he heard Yin Xuesong continue: "Baixian ordered us to bend the law for bribes in Hecheng, set up a brothel privately, forced the good to become a prostitute, took people's lives, and regarded the national law as if it were a fictitious one. Now that the witnesses have been brought to justice, only their own confessions and physical evidence are needed, and as long as they get these, they can convict him. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, such a crime is to be beheaded for public display, so we dare not hide it from Lord Qin, so we are here to inform it. ”

As soon as Yin Xuesong finished speaking, the smile that was originally on Lord Qin's face disappeared at once, and was replaced by a cold face: "Oh? With this incident, are you sure that he was not framed by someone? Is the evidence search comprehensive?"

Yin Xuesong paused and replied: "Judging from the confession of the witness, it is indeed the Baixian order that perverted the law, and this physical evidence and my confession have not been obtained yet, and we also want to go back, and we will start to investigate and deal with it." ”

"Oh, as long as my brother-in-law is not wronged, he must be punished according to the law of the land, but once it is found out that he has indeed been framed, the person who reported the false case must not be spared. ”

Without waiting for Yin Xuesong to speak, Lord Liu preemptively said: "This is natural, Lord Qin, you can rest assured, this is the first time for the two of them to deal with such a thing, and they are both military attachés, I'm afraid they don't have much experience." So considering the overall situation, I will go to Hecheng with them and supervise them to properly handle this matter. What are you worried about with me!"

Lord Qin's face soothed a little: "With Lord Liu here, I am naturally relieved, the government and the opposition, who doesn't know that you are the most just." I also have to thank you, Lord Liu, if you hadn't brought the two of them to tell me this in advance, I'm afraid that my sister would definitely come to me to deal with this matter. Now I have a reason to excuse myself, I have already told the two of them, as officials, you must not take the people seriously, the people are the foundation of the country. If the officials don't take the people seriously, what majesty is there to talk about in this country. ”

"Lord Qin understands the righteousness so well, which makes Liu admire it a lot. ”

"What I said there is far worse than Master Liu. ”

"I see that Lord Liu still has official business to do, so we won't bother you. ”

"I do have some official business to deal with, so I won't send you away. ”

After the three of them returned to Liu's mansion, Lord Liu said to the two of them: "This soldier of the military department, Lord Qin, is a bitter person who is a person who has a set of things in front of him and a set behind his back, and this matter must offend him today, you two must be more careful in the future, you must not have any handle in his hands, think about everything, and discuss with me immediately if you are not sure to pay attention." ”

Yin Xuesong replied: "Righteous killing of relatives is the most difficult thing in the world, it is impossible to want Lord Qin not to hold a grudge against us, and we can only ask Lord Liu to help us a lot." Just now at Lord Qin's mansion, you said that you want to go back to Crane City with us, this is not just your rhetoric, right?"

"Of course not, when I went to Hecheng before, you were in chaos, and I caught up with the matter of the Japanese invaders, so I will come back to deal with this matter first. There are other things to explain to Nangong Commander Shi, so I must go back. "Lord Liu.

"Then when is Lord Liu going to leave?"

"The affairs of the court and the affairs of my house have been explained, and you have come at the right time, so I will return to the city with you. ”

"In that case, then let's leave now, I don't know how many people Lord Liu wants to bring with me?"

"I have heard that you have a treasure called Tu Lingzhu, it is said that this treasure can send people thousands of miles away in an instant, I have never seen such a treasure, and I don't plan to take someone to go, so I will go with you myself, let me also appreciate the magic of this treasure. Lord Liu said with anticipation.

Yin Xuesong satisfied Lord Liu's curiosity, and after repeatedly explaining the precautions to him, he urged the three of them to return to Duwei Mansion. After taking a break in the Duwei Mansion, Lord Liu personally asked Rong Feng and Cui Yinglian, and the two of them told the story of the matter again. Then he called Yin Xuesong, Xiao Lie, Nangong Junzhe, and Zhao Haiquan to his side.

Master Liu said to them: "It seems that there must be no physical evidence for this matter, so we can only start from the confessions of Bai Da and the old bustard." ”

Nangong Junzhe replied: "On the premise that there is no physical evidence, it is simply impossible to let them confess by themselves, how can they confess so easily after serving as a county magistrate." ”

Lord Liu also looked embarrassed: "It depends on everyone's brainstorming, and it is better to let them confess by themselves, which is more effective than any evidence." However, you can't use force to bend into a trick, and if you do, not only will you not be able to get sanctioned, but your lives will also be lost. ”

Just when they had nothing to do, Xiao Lie suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

These words stunned everyone at once, and Zhao Haiquan looked at him with a stunned face: "We are all people who have died once, and we are definitely not afraid of death." ”

"Then you say, are you afraid of death?"

"Didn't Lord Liu just say that we are not allowed to use private deeds to make a move. Zhao Haiquan said with a blank look.

"I didn't say that I was going to bend into a trick, I just thought of a way that might work. Xiao Lie sold it.

Zhao Haiquan raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, you have learned to sell Guanzi." ”

Xiao Lie told everyone about his idea, and after he finished speaking, everyone laughed, Zhao Haiquan covered his stomach and said: "I said Xiao Lie, you can think of this solution, it's too damaging." ”

"There's no way, don't we have any useful evidence now, and only the confessions of these two people can't constitute evidence. ”

Lord Liu carefully went through the method Xiao Lie said in his mind twice, and finally nodded: "I think this method is okay, let's do it according to what Xiao Lie said, and we will definitely be able to win the confession of Bai Da and Lao Bustard." ”

Xiao Lie smiled with satisfaction: "It's still Lord Liu who is wise, then let's decide." ”
