Party strife is like fighting landlords, and no one will use the king bomb at the beginning.

The conventional way of playing is to make a single move first, and when there are few cards left in your hand, you will win or lose.

The Tang family hired murderers to assassinate the Chu State Mission, which was Wang Bang in the hands of Tang Ning.

The Tang family actually wanted to assassinate him back then, Lan Lan just suffered an unwarranted disaster, but the government would not care so much, three years ago, this case had been characterized as the assassination of the Chu State Mission and the destruction of peace between the two countries.

The crime of assassinating the envoys of friendly countries, the Tang family in the past, may be able to resist at the cost of breaking their muscles and bones, but now it is different from the past, and this crime is enough to subvert the current Tang family.

Tang Ning was reading in the study, and Qing'er trotted in and informed him that Marquis Wu Lie had visited.

Tang Ning asked Qing'er to make the best tea, and after Wu Liehou sat down, he asked with a smile, "Are you going to start?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's time to start too." ”

Wu Liehou rubbed his palms and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

In fact, the assassination of the envoy is only one of them, and the death of Han Chong, the son of Marquis Wulie, can also be found in the Tang family.

But the bargaining chips in the assassination case of the envoy are enough, if Han Chong's case is added, the Tang family will undoubtedly be more difficult to turn over, but Wu Liehou himself will not be able to die well because of Tang Jing's case.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "No, just watch it." ”

"Then the old man watched." Wu Liehou didn't drink tea, stood up, limped out, and said with a smile: "Although the old man's legs and feet are not good, his eyes can still see clearly......"

……

Wu Liehou walked out of the Tang family, another Tang family, and a cloud shrouded him.

Tang Zhao looked at Tang Qi, shook his head and said, "Uncle Han was arrested, I saw him sent to the yamen of the Criminal Department with my own eyes." ”

Tang Qi's eyelids jumped wildly, and he forced himself to calm down: "Steward Han won't admit it, the evidence of the Criminal Department is insufficient, and it is impossible to determine that he is the murderer of the assassination mission just because he broke an arm." ”

"It's useless." Tang Zhao shook his head and said: "The Criminal Department has published several books, and the case is used as an example in the "Collection of Grievances" to emphasize the importance of preserving evidence, the arm of the assassin who assassinated the envoy was remade with clay sculpture by a craftsman, as long as you take it out and compare it, you will know if it is Han Bo's, "Case Research", "I was a Shangshu of the Criminal Department", this case is also described in detail......

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Qi in surprise and asked, "Dad, haven't you read those books in your study yourself?" ”

The books in the study were bought by the subordinates to pretend, he didn't even turn them over, Tang Qi was angry in his heart, and said in a low voice: "No ......"

Tang Zhao muttered in a low voice: "Then you still force me to watch ......"

Tang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say?" ”

Tang Zhao immediately said: "I said, Tang Ning has forced our Tang family to this extent, and if we don't think about it, the Tang family will be finished." ”

Tang Qi took a deep breath, a hint of fierceness appeared on his face, and said, "Uncle Han can't stay." ”

Tang Zhao glanced at him and said: "It's useless if he is dead, the Criminal Department has physical evidence, even if he is dead, he can still see that the arm is his, he can still divert the focus if he is alive, if he dies, it will all depend on the Criminal Department......"

Tang Huai walked in from the outside, looked at him, and said, "Then you say, what should the Tang family do now?" ”

Tang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I have to find someone to pass a message to Han Bo......"

"How easy is it to enter the Punishment Department to spread the word?" Tang Qi glanced at him and asked, "Do you think the Tang family is still the Tang family three years ago?" ”

When the Tang family was at the peak of its power, which of the six departments of the three provinces did not have supporters, let alone spread a word, even if it was to let the criminal department release people, it was just a matter of one sentence, and now, it is impossible to even pass on a word.

"Alas......" Tang Zhao sighed, looked at the two of them, and said, "Look at it, good Tang family, what has you made it look like......"

"Shut up!" Tang Qi glared at him and said, "Let's talk about the point." ”

"Hades is easy to see, little ghosts are difficult to deal with......" Tang Zhao looked at him and said: "It's just a word, and it's not a difficult thing, why bother to go to Hades, doesn't the little ghost have a mouth?" ”

……

Jingshi North District.

Jingshi is the capital of the Chen State, prosperous and rich, and most of the dignitaries and nobles of the Chen State gather here, but no matter how bright things are, there is also a dark side.

In Jingshi, most of the officials and magnates lived in the southeast, and the wealthy merchants and magnates generally gathered in the western district, and in the northern district of Jingshi, they were inhabited by some people with relatively low status.

There are prostitutes everywhere here, thieves are rampant, and people with a little status are not willing to appear here.

Xiao Gui is a jailer in the Criminal Department.

He worked in the Criminal Department, which was one of the six ministries, in charge of the law and prisons, and the people and officials were terrified, but not all the people who worked in the Criminal Department were decent and glamorous.

Xiao Gui's father is a jailer, his grandfather is a jailer, and his grandfather is also a jailer, if there is no accident, he has just been born, and his son who is only a full moon will also be a jailer in the future.

Among the criminal departments, Lord Shangshu is a giant in the DPRK and China, and the servants and Langzhong also take the country's salary, and even the monthly salary of the fast catchers is not low.

Only the jailer, as the lowest-ranking poor person in the criminal department, does the hardest and most tiring errand, and takes the least amount of money.

The prison of the Criminal Department is different from the prisons in other places, those who can be locked up here are not idle people before they come in, even if they come in because of a crime, the jailers must be careful.

Xiao Gui had just finished emptying the bucket for the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department, and dragged his tired body on the street, thinking in his heart, when the Criminal Department issued money tomorrow, he would buy some favorite pastries for his wife, and the medicine that the old lady had stopped for half a month should also be renewed.

When he raised his head, he saw that the other party was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Childe, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"

"Bumped into Ben Gongzi, is it okay to say sorry?" The young man had the usual face of a Jingshi, glanced at Xiao Gui disdainfully, pointed to an alley on the side of the street, waved his hand to several entourages behind him, and said, "Take him to the alley over there, this son will teach him a good lesson today!" ”

Xiao Gui's face changed greatly, and he said in a panic: "Childe, the small one is not intentional......"

It's just that the noble son will listen to him, Xiao Gui just opened his mouth, and was carried by two entourages and walked towards the dark alley.

"Childe, don't ......"

"Stop, stop!"

"Someone, help......"

……

Seeing that the man was dragged into the alley by the noble man's entourage, everyone on the street took a look and left.

The people who can bring so many entourages when they go out are all people they can't afford to provoke, and they can only blame the poor man for being careless.

In the dark alley, Xiao Gui knelt on the ground and cried: "Son, spare me, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and a three-year-old child under the villain......"

The noble prince glanced at him and said, "Don't pretend, your mother has just passed fifty this year, and her son is only a full moon, where did the eighty mother come from, a three-year-old child......"

Unexpectedly, this noble son was so aware of the situation in his family, Xiao Gui was stunned, and his crying immediately stopped.

The noble prince looked at him and said, "There is something I want you to help with." ”

The person in front of him is obviously not ordinary, how can there be anything that needs the help of a small jailer of him, even if it is true, I am afraid that it is a big deal, Xiao Gui's face turned pale, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Son, the villain is old and young, please raise your noble hand, please ......"

Bang!

Suddenly there was a sound of a heavy object falling in front of him, Xiao Gui raised his head and saw that there was an extra ingot of silver in front of him.

This silver ingot is very large, it is the largest silver ingot Xiao Gui has ever seen, and it is also the fifty-tael ingots regulated by Chen Guo.

As a jailer, he had to go without food or drink for ten years to save up the fifty taels of silver.

Xiao Gui raised his head and asked, "Please ask the prince to tell the villain------ what do you need the villain to do?" ”

Gui Gongzi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want you to help with a word." ”

It is not an easy task to talk to the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department, and it requires a lot of risk, thinking of his son who is not yet a month old, Xiao Gui showed a look of hesitation on his face.

Bang.

Another ingot of silver was thrown on the ground, exactly the same size as before.

Xiao Gui picked up two silver ingots, put them in his arms, got up from the ground, and asked, "What does the son need the villain to bring?" To whom? When? ”

The young man said: "The prison of the Criminal Department, a person with only one arm, the sooner the better." ”

Xiao Gui raised his head and said, "The villain has the impression that yesterday the Criminal Department seemed to have caught a person with a broken arm......"

The young man looked at him and said, "You listen to what I say next......

……

After a moment, the young man looked at him and asked, "Remember everything?" ”

Xiao Gui nodded and said, "I remember everything." ”

"That's good." The young man took one last look at him and said, "I'm leaving......"

"Childe stays." Xiao Gui stopped him in time and said, "Childe just left, people outside may suspect ......"

The noble prince looked at him and asked, "What do you mean......"

"Please give me a beating." Xiao Gui pointed to his face, grinned, and said, "Say hello here." ”
