Faintly hearing the faint footsteps outside the warehouse, Shaoqing Yang Yu's heart suddenly tensed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

You must know that he is one of the investigating officials in the "Murder Case of Zhou Yan, the Former Shangshu of the Criminal Department", and he knows very well where Zhou Yan was killed - Zhou Yan was killed by the Xiao henchmen lurking in the Ministry of Officials when he was rummaging through the documents of some officials in the treasury of the Ministry of Officials.

"Is it ......?"

Swallowing his saliva, Shaoqing Yang Yu glanced at the catcher next to him - Li catcher.

Receiving Shaoqing Yang Yu's eyes, Li Zhutou nodded, gently put the oil lamp in his hand aside, and slowly pulled out the saber on his waist.

As a result, before the knife was pulled out, I saw a man dressed as a headhunter walk in and said, "Yang Shaoqing, how are you doing?" There was not even a single rat outside the storeroom...... Lao Li, what are you doing here? ”

Seeing this person, Shaoqing Yang Yu and Li Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief, and then, Li Zhutou put the knife in his hand into the scabbard, and said angrily: "Lao Wang, I was almost scared to death by you, didn't Yang Shaoqing let you guard outside the warehouse?" ”

"What is there to keep, at this hour, there is no one in the house." Wang Zhutou said nonchalantly, and then, he turned his head to look at Shaoqing Yang Yu, and said without saying anything: "Yang Shaoqing, are you ...... Tired lately? ”

"He's trying to say I'm suspicious, right?"

Shaoqing Yang Yu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Is it really just a paranoia?

Yang Yu didn't think that he was thinking too much, after all, the murder of Zhou Yan, the former Shangshu of the Criminal Department, was a lesson from the past.

Therefore, he used his power to let Wang Zhutou and Li Zhutou come with him, after all, these two Zhutou were colleagues he had known for many years - he didn't want to be like Zhou Yan, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, who would disappear for a few days, and then find the body in the canal in the city a few days later.

But at present, most of the time he really thinks too much, and he doesn't see that there are also the remnants of the Xiao family lurking in his Dali Temple.

Of course, it is also possible that the remnants of the Xiao family are more cautious, after all, in the last "murder case of Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department", the remnants of the Xiao family were found out of many people.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, right?"

Shaking his head, Shaoqing Yang Yu put the entry documents of Jin Xu and Shen Gui back into the box, and then said with a smile: "It's hard for the two of you, today Yang is the east, please drink the two of you, don't get drunk and don't return." ”

"That's a good feeling." Wang Zhutou said with a smile.

So, the three of them walked out of the warehouse.

Shaoqing Yang Yu didn't notice that when he and Wang Zhutou walked outside the house, Li Zhutou, who was walking behind him, glanced at the box where Jin Xu and Shen Gui's documents were placed, and then looked at Shaoqing Yang Yu's back with deep eyes.

It was only when the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Wang Zhutou beside Shaoqing Yang Yu that the deep meaning in Li Zhutou's eyes quickly faded.

"Lao Li, hurry up, Lord Shaoqing, please drink, what are you still inking?"

"It's coming, it's coming."

In the end, everything is fine.

And the next day, in the study of King Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun also got detailed information about the Dali Temple Prison Cheng Jin Xu from Zong Wei Gao Kuo.

There are four pieces of detailed information about Jin Xu in Dali Temple, one from the Ministry of Officials, one from Dali Temple, one from the Green Crows collected in the city, about Jin Xu's words and deeds in Daliang in the past few years, and the last one is Sun Luo, the eyeliner in the prison.

In Zhao Hongrun's view, the first three points of information are all decent, and there is nothing suspicious, but the news sent by Sun Luo is more valuable.

Sun Luo told Zhao Hongrun that since Jin Xu became the prison keeper of Dali Temple, he would recruit some "suspected soldiers" to serve as jailers every once in a while, and these jailers seemed to be in the same league as Li Laoliu and other jailers in the prison, turning a blind eye to some illegal things in the prison, but Sun Luo felt that these people were not greedy for money, and even he felt that these people seemed to have a strong sense of discipline.

After seeing Sun Luo's seemingly one-sided judgments, Zhao Hongrun involuntarily had four words in his mind: Xiao's remnants.

Because the remnants of the Xiao clan are a rebel organization with strict discipline similar to the army, and this gang of thieves seems to have a good source of money in their hands.

"Isn't this Jin Xu also a member of the remnants of the Xiao family? If that's the case, then I'm ...... It's really penetrated with holes.'"

Rubbing his eyebrow bones, Zhao Hongrun really felt a little headache.

He could understand the reason why the remnants of the Xiao clan infiltrated the Dali Temple, if it was said that Jin Xu was really a member of the remnants of the Xiao clan - in order to legally hide an armed force.

In Daliang, not everyone is allowed to carry weapons, even if it is the imperial court, there are only so many people who can carry blades: guards, guards, lang guards, imperial guards, criminal department tolerances, Dali Temple tolerances, and jailers and so on.

In addition, even in the Daliang Mansion, which controls the civil security of Daliang, only the team leaders have swords, and most of the rest of the officials are armed with wooden sticks.

The problem is that Dali Temple was infiltrated like this, so what about the guards who were responsible for the defense and patrol of the city?

Even, what about the Praetorian Guard?

What about Lang Wei?

At this time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized why he was summoned by his father to visit the latter in the Ganlu Hall in the palace that day, why the Ganlu Hall was full of guards of the Gong Guard Division at that time.

Obviously, his father may have sensed something and felt that the Praetorian Guard and Lang Wei might have been mixed with the remnants of the Xiao family, so he vigorously formed the Gong Wei Division.

"Your Highness, it's better to send someone to take down the prison Cheng Jinxu and torture him severely." Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao said on the side.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly.

Because in the "Murder Case of Zhou Yan, the Former Shangshu of the Criminal Department", Zhao Hongrun had already seen the style of the remnants of the Xiao family who looked down on life and death and regarded death as home, even if it was not an exaggeration to call it a dead man.

Therefore, if the prison Cheng Jin Xu is really a member of the remnants of the Xiao family, even if he takes down this person, this person will not confess, at most, he will take the gang of lurking remnant members in the prison of Dali Temple to make the last crazy move before death.

In Zhao Hongrun's opinion, if the prisoner Jin Xu, a person like Hong De who climbed to the position of the prison in sixteen years, if he is really a member of the Xiao family's remnants, his status among the remnants will not be too high. Rather than forcing such a small role, it is better to keep him, put a long line, and catch a big fish, because he and his father both suspect that most of the leaders of the remnants of the Xiao clan are in Daliang - there is no basis, but there is this feeling.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Jiao: "Wei Jiao, send a message to Ying Kang, asking him to send more green crows to Daliang." ”

The Ying Kang in his mouth is the leader of the Shangshui Green Crow.

Wei Jiao nodded, and then as if he thought of something, he asked, "Your Highness, don't you say hello to the inner guard?" ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said, "Well, let the crows contact the inner guards by themselves, just ...... This year, I was in charge of invigilating the entrance examination, so I guess I would like to maintain order in the city during the entrance examination. ”

"Yes!" Wei Jiao clenched his fists and took his life.

After waiting for Wei Jiao to leave, Zhao Hongrun wanted to enter the palace immediately and report this matter to his father, but in the end, he still gave up, after all, Daliang is the territory of the inner chamberlain, if he can find some clues, the inner chamberlain may not be able to find out.

Perhaps, his father also had the idea of casting a long line and catching a big fish.

A few days later, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Uncle Yu, the marquis of Yuanling, and other domestic nobles, after offering tribute and asking Wei Tianzi to resign, left Daliang and returned to the place.

Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, and others naturally went home to raise funds, after all, it may cost them the wealth they have accumulated in twenty or thirty years to build a direct official road, and this huge amount of money cannot be put together at any time.

It's not good, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and others have to sell some jade and jewelry in the treasury to make up this money.

As for Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and others, they obviously have to go back to make money, of course, this money is not not used on the official road from Daliang to Fenyin.

I have to say that although Wei Tianzi kept joking that day that Zhao Hongrun was cunning, what he did was much more cunning than Zhao Hongrun - he issued a notice that "the imperial court built four official roads for King Su", but he did not disclose the specific routes of those official roads, so that the Marquis of Yuanling and others did not know that the "Xie County" they got was actually excluded from the direct official road from Fenyin to Daliang.

A few days later, Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, also said goodbye to his youngest daughter Una, and returned to Sanchuan Luocheng with the patriarch of the Baiyang tribe, Halegohe, and the patriarch of the Lun tribe, Lu Balong, to prepare to raise funds for the official road of "Daliang to Luocheng".

After all, although the current Sichuan Alliance is rich, it is not rich enough to come up with such a huge amount of money in one go. Besides, the wealth of the Sichuan is still mainly due to their huge flock, but the problem is, you can't let the people of the Smelting Bureau lead hundreds of thousands of sheep to build roads, right?

Therefore, the first thing they did when they returned to the city was to find a way to exchange a part of the Sichuan Alliance for money.

After these people of all kinds of forces left Daliang, Daliang gradually became a little deserted, but it was not quiet for a few days, and when it was February, the king of Wei became lively again.

It turned out that it was the examinees from all over the world who participated in this year's examination.

I have to say that the examination every three years is a big test for the security of Daliang and the surrounding cities and counties.

It's not that those examinees like to cause trouble, mainly because the examinees everywhere are not used to the prosperity of the girders, for example, this year, a large number of examinees are crowded in Xiangfu Port with wide eyes, looking at the craftsmen and officials of the Smelting Bureau who are responsible for supervising shipbuilding, building huge building ships; Or they ran to Bolangsha to see Bolangsha River Port, the largest dual-use river port base for military and commercial purposes in the future Wei State.

What's worse is that most of these students are young and vigorous, and they are so angry that if they see the rangers extorting and extorting traders, there will always be people who stand up and fight against them, and in the end, they will inevitably be taught a lesson by those rangers.

If some of these students still know how to do martial arts, it will be even more incredible.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the brawls in and out of Daliang City during the three-year examination period are caused by quarrels between these students and local rangers and ruffians.

Therefore, for the arrival of these students, Daliang Mansion feels the most headache.

For these students, whether they are beaten or not, whether they are scolded or not, God knows who among these people will be their colleagues or even superiors who will become officials in the same dynasty in the future.

At the same time that students from all over the country gathered in Daliang, Ying Kang, the leader of Shangshui Green Crows, also sent more than 600 Green Crows to Daliang.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Hongrun let half of them wander around the city, and the remaining half was incorporated into the "Examination Inspector Patrol" to assist him in invigilating the examination.

To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, the people who came with the green crows also came with his guest, Wen Qi.

"I'm here for the exam!"

This King Su's protégé said.
