Chapter 40: Exposure

In a private room in the drunken tea house in Nantian City.

"What! How dare he set up a private room in a cell and run a special service?"

"It's true, now these single rooms are very popular, and even open bidding, that's really a daily profit!"

"Okay!" Huo Cong's face bloomed with chrysanthemums, and his eyes burst out with a cunning essence, "Heaven has a road that you don't go, and hell has no door, you can vote for yourself, since you die yourself, then don't blame others." ”

Huo Cong looked at the man, "If this matter is done, I will go up and down a little more, and then I will sit in the prison seat, and the benefits of your kid are indispensable." ”

"The little one can have today, and it doesn't all depend on the care of the second master, this is all as it should be. ”

"I really didn't misread you," Huo Cong nodded with relief, "You have been keeping an eye on me these days, and if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately." ”

"Second master, rest assured. ”

......

Tang Li's mood in the past few days is really good, a large amount of silver has been put into the account, it is strange that he can be in a bad mood.

After lunch, he was half-lying on a chair, holding a few floor plans of the house in his hand, flipping through them one by one, and making thoughtful appearances from time to time.

In fact, he thinks that these houses are good, especially a set of five-entry courtyard houses with gardens, how do he see how he likes it, but unfortunately the price of 12,000 taels of silver really makes him feel a headache, if he really buys it, then he will really have to go bankrupt.

When he was undecided, not knowing what to choose, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in!" Tang Li shouted angrily.

The person who came was panting and flustered, "No... Oh no, my lord, ....... ”

"Gasping evenly, what are you panicking about?" Tang Li squinted at the other party.

"My lord, Lord Fuzun is suddenly coming to inspect the prison, and the person is already on the way, and at most there is a pillar of incense. Hu Wei swallowed a mouthful of foam and finished his words in one breath.

"What!" Tang Li almost knocked over the tea bowl when he heard this, and jumped up from his chair, "Is the news reliable?"

"Thousand... It's true," Hu Wei pinched his waist and spat out.

"How could Fu Zun suddenly come to the prison?" Tang Li furrowed his eyebrows, angry and shocked, "There must be someone who talks too much and leaks the things in the prison." ”

"My lord, what should I do now, I am afraid that it will be dismantled immediately, I am afraid it will be too late. Hu Wei's heart jumped suddenly, like a rabbit.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided," Tang Li flicked his hem and paced away.

After a pillar of incense, Fuzun Liu Muyuan and several adults came to the gate of the prison, Tang Li hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Xiaguan has seen Fuzun and all the adults. ”

"Lord Tang looks good," Huo Cong walked out of the crowd and said in a strange manner.

"Hmm!" Liu Muyuan snorted, and Huo Cong immediately stood back in place and said no more.

"It's been a while since Lord Tang took office, I don't know if I'm still used to it?" Liu Muyuan regained his smile and asked with concern.

"Thanks to the Lord, it's going well. Tang Li arched his hand.

"I'm afraid it's going a little too far," a six-rank official snorted coldly, unconcealing the anger in his heart.

"What do you mean, Lord Zuo?" said Tang Li, frowning.

"What do you mean? Lord Tang treats the prison as his own back garden, can it not go well?"

"Your own back garden?" Tang Li's face was full of doubts, and he didn't argue anything, but looked at Liu Muyuan.

"After the end of the council this morning, someone reported to the government that Lord Tang had privately built a luxurious suite in the prison, turning the prison into a place for pleasure and making a lot of money," Liu Muyuan said, "I wonder if it's true?"

"Slander! Pure slander!" Tang Li said in denial, "Which bastard is slandering Tang behind his back!"

He was calm, but behind him, Hu Bantou's forehead oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, and the placket behind his back was even more soaked with cold sweat, and the other jailers were not much better, and the discerning person could see the clue at a glance.

Huo Cong glanced at the crowd, saw someone nodded his head three times, sneered in his heart, straightened his back and stood up again, "It's me!"

"You ......!" Tang Li was stunned, obviously surprised, "This official has no grievances with Lord Huo, why do you want to frame me!"

"Framed, hehe," Huo Cong glanced at Tang Li with a sneer, and then walked quickly to Liu Muyuan's side, saluted, "Lord Fuzun, whether the lower official is framed or not, you will find out when you enter the prison." ”

"Lord Tang, what do you think?" Liu Muyuan ignored Huo Cong, but looked at Tang Li.

"I don't think it's appropriate to be lowly and degraded," Tang said, "In the filthy place of the prison, most of the prisoners are extremely vicious, and they are afraid of polluting the eyes and nose of the mansion and the lords. ”

"Lord Fuzun, he Tang Li has a lot of prevarication, and it is clear that he has a ghost in his psychology!" Without waiting for Liu Muyuan to speak, Huo Congyi pointed at Tang Li and shouted.

"Lord Huo, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Tang Li squinted a pair of murderous eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't like what Master Huo said, what would you do!"

Huo was willing to take off this official robe and apologize to Lord Tang. ”

At this time, Lord Zuo stepped forward and said, "Fuzun, you have the right to do things, if you don't find out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"Fuzun, what Lord Zuo said is reasonable. ”

"Yes, the lower officials also think so, the prison of the imperial court cannot become a place for corrupt officials to seek personal gain. ”

“......”

"Okay," Liu Muyuan nodded helplessly, "I'm tired of Lord Tang, let's lead you to the prison to take a look." ”

Tang Li laughed angrily, "Since this is the case, then it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey their orders." ”

Everyone said in their hearts that this person is crazy, what does it mean to be 'respectful rather than obey'?

Tang Li asked Hu Wei to lead the way in front of the head, and a group of jailers held torches and lanterns, leading several adults into the prison, and before they could enter the prison door, they smelled a foul smell coming to their faces, and some people couldn't hold back and vomited directly.

"This lord is used to being pampered," Tang Li said coldly and sarcastically, "This official's ugly words come ahead, and there is not half an hour, but you can't finish this whole prison, and it's too late to regret it now." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way in front of your head!" Lord Zuo wiped his mouth, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and urged.

After the tea, everyone went down to the second floor, Huo Cong's face was full of schadenfreude, according to the informant, the single room was built on the second floor, and he was already a little impatient to see what Tang Li's expression would be at that time.

But it didn't take long for Huo Cong to stop laughing, and he was about to reach the end of the second floor, except for the damp cell, there was no luxurious single room.

"Impossible, that single room is obviously built on the second floor," Huo Cong saw sweat on his forehead, and then walked towards a certain cell, "You, stand up!"

The man sitting on the haystack in the prison raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Cong, got up and walked to the wooden fence, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Tian Yousi, the official asked you if you had been living in a luxurious room in the past few days. Huo Congyu asked, according to the informant, this person was the first person to live in a single room, and Tian Weisi was a wealthy local businessman with a head and face before committing the crime, so he recognized it at a glance.

Tian Weisi squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold a handful of filthy mud, got up and fell on Huo Cong's face, "Are you awake, haven't you woken up, you came in to stay with Tian for a few days and feel this luxurious room." With that, he returned to the haystack.

Huo Cong's head was buzzing, as if he were a wooden chicken.
