Shui Ruoyun still lowered her head and grinded her nails, and said in a cold tone: "Woke up!"

Tsing Yi quickly took a scoop of water from the bucket next to him and splashed it, woke up the old man, and said, "It's too late for you to recruit now!"

The old man looked a little hesitant, although it was painful to hold on, he might not be able to live if he was recruited!

Shui Ruoyun said coldly: "Don't ask, first perform all the one hundred and eight tortures in the cell, if he can still open his mouth at that time, ask again!"

The old man suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and then he remembered the name of Shui Ruoyun's cool official, all the people who have been interrogated by him, whether they are heroes in the rivers and lakes, or masters of the devil's way, all of them have left a psychological shadow, and their reputation is so good that they can stop children from crying. www.biquge.info Therefore, without waiting for Tsing Yi to change the torture equipment, he hurriedly said: "I recruited, recruited!"

Shui Ruoyun sighed faintly: "Take him to register his confession, and if he finds a lie, pull him back immediately!"

When the old man heard this, his heart sank, and he was immediately glad that he had just made a wise choice.

"Yes, sir!"

After Tsing Yi finished speaking, he took the old man down to register his confession.

A quarter of an hour later, Tsing Yi Catcher brought a confession.

Shui Ruoyun took a cursory look at it, then took out a second-order healing pill from the mustard seed bag on his waist, and said, "Take it and give it to the old man, and give him a better lookout." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Tsing Yi quickly took the elixir, his heart was extremely complicated, he had been following this legendary cool official for nearly three years, and he found that this cool official was very different from the rumors. No one knows that this cool official, despite his ruthlessness, has never killed any criminal by torture, and as long as he confesses to the crime, he will be cured of his injuries and enjoy extremely high treatment. is also because of Shui Ruoyun's name as a cool official, many criminals do not need to be punished, and they are directly recruited.

"Still stunned what to do, go quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tsing Yi hurriedly left.

At this time, Shui Ruoyun frowned, according to what the old man said, he knew the actual situation of Chang Closing in advance, and he also received a thousand taels. One thousand taels is a huge amount of money for a small official, and it is no wonder that he is willing to take risks.

However, this is also because the other party promised to wait for the price of food to fall and then make up for it.

But in the end, it turned out that he had been deceived, and the other party didn't want to make up for the million stone rice at all, and his superiors wanted to transfer 300,000 stone rice from it to supply the army, but Chang closed the position and was almost empty, and there was still food, so in a panic, he decided to surrender himself. The embezzlement of a thousand taels of silver is not a capital crime, and with the meritorious service of the crime, there may be a glimmer of life.

Although he thought well, he was reported in advance and became a scapegoat.

There is not much useful in this old man's confession, and the only clue is that the previous cangguan once revealed that his backstage was the Han family, but it was up to Sui Yun to investigate. Immediately, he summoned a black-clothed catcher to send the confession.

Yu Suiyun received the confession and immediately arranged people to investigate the rice shop opened by the Han family, and even the rice shop opened by the Song and Liu families did not let go.

At this time, Zheng Dongliu also quietly went to check the details of the previous warehouse official, and asked Song Tianhao to send the Song family to check the various rice lines.

But after Yu Suiyun finished checking, he found that the year before last, the flood and grain production were reduced, and several rice shops opened by the three major families had a record of selling a large amount of grain, among which the eighteen rice shops of the Han family sold the most, but it was only a hundred thousand stones.

And Zheng Dongliu checked the position of Cangguan, and after a day of investigation, he found nothing, this person didn't seem to be touched over there, so he had to quietly come to Ling Feng.

Obviously, the mastermind behind the scenes has long considered the possibility of exposure,

Ling Feng pondered for a long time and said: "Go and check the account books of other small rice banks to see if a large amount of grain was sold during the flooding the year before last, and also check that the millions of stone rice in other Zhengcang, Taicang, and Juncang may still be there, maybe it will be used to fill the deficit of other big warehouses!"

Zheng Dongliu nodded and left quickly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zheng Dongliu arrived, looking excited: "I found out, one night a month ago, a large amount of rice was transported into the military warehouse, and the carriage transported it overnight, it should be the one million stone rice that was missing from Changping Yicang." Moreover, those small rice shops also checked, and they did sell a large amount of grain the year before last. At that time, they received it from a mysterious person, 1,500 wen a stone of rice, and sold it for 2,500 wen a stone. ”

Ling Feng said with a cold expression: "In this way, things are coherent, the year before last, in order to make money, they even sold the grain in the military warehouse to make huge profits." In order to avoid suspicion, it was resold in small rice shops. Last year, there were many days of drought, but grain output was still not much, and prices did not drop too much. They had no way to make up for the grain in the military warehouse at a low price, and these people were reluctant to spend money, so they only made up a small part of the deficit to maintain operation, and most of it was never made up. But the army consumes a lot of food, and the mastermind behind the scenes can't get food, so he has no choice but to come up with this method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall!"

"What your lord says is very true!"

Zheng Dongliu nodded and said, how many troops are there in Cangzhou, he knows better than Ling Feng, there are sixty-four Zhichong Prefectures in Cangzhou, plus the soldiers belonging to the state city and various counties, the army is nearly 200,000, and the people eat horses and chew, and they get about 80,000 stone of grain a month. Even if this grain is jointly produced by the main warehouse and the military warehouse, it will get 40,000 stone a month, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be reluctant to make up for it all the time, so he will transfer the flowers and trees, and let the two warehouse officials of Changping Yicang be substitutes for the dead ghosts.

Immediately, Zheng Dongliu said: "My lord, since this is the case, can you notify Lord Yu to arrest someone?"

Ling Feng shook his head and said, "The name of Chang Ping Yicang is not written on the rice, since the other party has done it, the tail of the hand must be handled very cleanly." Even if Yu Suiyun knew, he couldn't help it. If there is no evidence, it will be in vain if it is caught!"

"What then?"

Zheng Dongliu suddenly felt a basin of cold water splashed down, calmed down, and asked.

"Mountain people have their own tricks!"

The corners of Ling Feng's mouth lifted slightly, and he immediately elaborated on the detailed plan.

Zheng Dongliu kept nodding, but he still didn't understand what Ling Feng's clever plan was.

......

At this time, the Liu family, the study.

A middle-aged man in a blue robe, with a square face and a short beard, and an elegant face, was reading a book.

After a while, a young man in a green shirt knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Dad, someone is already checking the military warehouse!"

The elegant middle-aged man did not raise his head, and said indifferently: "I will find out sooner or later, what are you afraid of, as long as the accounts are flat and the amount of grain is not bad, what are you afraid of?

The young man in the green shirt smiled bitterly: "In case they use torture, I'm afraid that the warehouse official may not be able to keep his mouth shut?"

The elegant middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "His family is all taken care of by our people, and he won't talk nonsense." If there is no evidence, they will be able to interrogate it. ”
