Xu Xiaotong has always seen this very clearly, because the previous prison of the Criminal Department often had to detain some super felons, so the imperial court specially appointed a high-ranking official of the third grade to be in charge, with the intention of deterring the prisoners in the prison, but later set up a heavenly prison, and the detention sites of some super felons who shook the dynasty were "shifted positions" Originally, the position of the right guard could be abolished, but the tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years can be changed, so Xu Xiaotong also stayed in this position of an idle official, and stayed for nearly eight years.

Eight years is not too short, and seeing that Du Yuxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is about to return to his hometown, he is still grinding in this position, and there is no sign of promotion.

Almost everyone is optimistic that Cai Liancheng will take charge of the Criminal Department after Du Yuxinzhishi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, not only because of Cai Liancheng's ability and qualifications, but also because of his good father, Cai Xun.

Now above the court, Cai Xun has to make a large group of people follow the cold when he sneezes, Xu Xiao is the same as the oldest, can he compete with Cai Xun's son for the position of Shangshu? !

He saw this more clearly. So he basically gave up, and was ready to continue to be his senior cell leader in this prison.

Until one day, when he came to the end, someone finally told him: "We want to make you the secretary of the criminal department!" He still thought he was dreaming, but after confirming the identity of the person who came, he seemed to be willing to believe that the dream would come true one day.

He actually knew the person who came, and he was the housekeeper of Du Yuxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also surnamed Du, and everyone called him Du Butler on weekdays.

Steward Du came to his house and told him: The current secretary of the Criminal Department, Lord Du Xindu, wants to support you as the next secretary of the Criminal Department. Steward Du has a special status in the Du Mansion, and sometimes what he says is the same as what Du Yuxin said himself, so since he said so, it is more reliable just like the will that Xu Xiaotong is the heir.

Xu Xiaotong has no one in the court, and he is only eight fights high. The wonderful pen is full of flowers, and it is only mixed up. And Du Yuxin's backstage, he knows, he has always wanted to follow Du Yuxin before. But Du Yuxin has always treated him like air, and he didn't play with him at all, and now that he is about to retire, he thinks of him instead.

Xu Xiaotong understood that Du Yuxin must have asked him, otherwise he would not have said such a thing anyway.

So he asked about Steward Du very interestingly.

Steward Du is also an understanding person. He cautiously approached Xu Xiaotong and said Du Yuxin's wish, the secretary of the Criminal Department: "The master wants Lord Xu to help him interrogate Cai Yueru!"

"Judge Cai Yueru?!This is very difficult...... , Lord Duan has already strictly ordered the Criminal Department not to interfere, this ......" Xu Xiaotong groaned again and again, showing a very embarrassed look.

Steward Du is also a delicate person, how could he not know the meaning of Xu Xiaotong's words, so he smiled and handed him a box and said: "Lord Xu, you are in charge of the prison of the Criminal Department, and there are many things that you meddle in, and it is natural to do so." Sensei said that it was Lord Duan, even if Cai Xiang from Shangshu Province came, there was nothing to blame. ”

Xu Xiaotong took the box and opened it, only to see that there was a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and a booklet inside. He picked up the silver ticket, squinted at the butler and asked, "This ......"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "This is what the master gave to Lord Xu." ”

It was a matter of course for his boss to ask his subordinates to do something for him, but now that he has even made out a large number of silver tickets, what a tricky and troublesome thing this must be! Xu Xiaotong muttered in his heart. His face was uncertain, and he didn't know what to say with the silver ticket in his hand.

Fortunately, at this moment, the housekeeper spoke, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the steward of Shangshu Mansion for many years. As soon as the words came out, they struck Xu Xiaotong's heart, and he only heard him say: "Lord Xu doesn't have to worry, this matter is very easy to do, just need Lord Xu to bring this booklet to Cai Yueru and let her write some words." Then you can take this booklet back with you. As he spoke, the housekeeper took out the booklet and opened it for Xu Xiaotong to see, only to see that the booklet was blank except for a pixiu rusted on the brocade cloth on the cover.

Xu Xiao's suspicions rose in his heart, so he asked: "This blank booklet is what the master of the ministry asked me to bring to Cai Yueru?

"Master Xu only needs to tell Cai Yueru: Everything is fine outside, if you want to be more peaceful, write down what you know. She would have understood, and she would have written what she wanted to write in this booklet. "Steward Du is the same as Xu Xiao.

"Just tell her this, it's okay?!" Xu Xiaotong said suspiciously.

"Exactly, but Lord Xu must remember that he must hand over this booklet to Cai Yueru first, and then tell her this. She will understand, otherwise no matter what Lord Xu says to her, it will be in vain. The housekeeper cautiously reminded Xu Xiaotong.

Xu Xiaotong stared at the housekeeper and said, "But I don't know what she will write in this booklet?"

Steward Du smiled like a cunning fox and said, "Lord Xu, some money and silver benefits are sometimes inconvenient to show to everyone. Cai Yueru knew where some silver was hidden, and when she saw the booklet, she would write it obediently. At that time, Lord Xu only needs to bring the booklet back. You don't have to worry about the rest of the things, you don't have to ask, after the matter is completed, the lord will strongly recommend you as the next secretary of the criminal department in front of the officials. ”

Xu Xiaotong has long been accustomed to the ushering of officialdom, knowing that everyone in a high position spends a lot, if he doesn't think about some extra ways to make money in addition to running errands, just with a salary of silver, it is not enough to even eat for the people below, Du Yuxin has been in the post of the secretary of the criminal department for more than ten years, and Cai Yueru is good at dancing in the officialdom of the capital, left and right, the two hook up together, and it is not impossible to cooperate to earn some silver, presumably Cai Yueru is in prison, life and death are undecided, Du Yuxin is anxious to know where the silver earned by the two is hidden！

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaotong was also relieved, just with a word, you don't have to take risks, you can get so many benefits, why not do it? He readily agreed.

Seeing that he was full of promises, Steward Du also smiled on his face, so he continued to ask, "I wonder when Lord Xu will interrogate Cai Yueru?"

Xu Xiaotong groaned: "It can be arranged in a few days, and it depends on whether Lord Duan has an arraignment." ”

Steward Du said with a solemn face: "Lord Xu, this matter has to be done immediately, the master said, the result will be tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be ......"

Xu Xiaotong's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "So urgent?!"

Steward Du sighed: "Lord Xu, silver doesn't wait for anyone." We can't help it. (To be continued.) )
