General

Outside the hall was already the thickest darkness of the night, and the people who were still busy before gradually became lazy, some sat down to rest, and some simply took a nap with a stack of papers.

Whispering voices suddenly came from a corner, and Ling Feng looked around vigilantly, only to see a deacon of not low rank whispering to the person beside him: "I'm going to make it easier, if there is an emergency, please help me Waiting."

"If you're tired, take a rest. The booklets to be handed out tomorrow are almost finished." Although the man's voice was soft, it seemed that he was talking to others on purpose. Looking at the person before him invisible, he nodded vigorously.

Finally willing to move...

Ling Feng jumped off the beam like a ghost, and followed the man out of the main hall, slightly curling the corners of his lips as he walked.

If there is no more action, he really thinks that the night will be in vain.

The man first strolled out of the palace gate in a generous manner, and then walked a long way with a lot of limping.It wasn't until he approached a certain door that he suddenly stopped and looked around furtively.

There was no one around, and it was quiet everywhere, no insects, birds, or even the wind.He cautiously pushed open the wooden door, and slipped in. With a slight "squeak", the door closed tightly again.

Ling Feng quietly went around the window of the inner hall, carefully looking in through the narrow wooden window edge.I saw that the man lifted the quilt first, took out a few memorials from the hidden compartment under the couch, then held them tightly in the palm of his hand uneasily, pacing back and forth in the room alone.

It seems to be hesitating about something...

After walking back and forth dozens of times, he finally took a deep breath as if he had made a decision, threw the folded folders on the table, turned around and brought in a charcoal basin from the outer room.

The charcoal fire in the copper charcoal basin is burning vigorously, constantly emitting a warm red light.The man bit his lower lip tightly, and the hand holding the memorial trembled slightly. He slowly approached the fire, then quickly retracted it. After struggling repeatedly for a long time, he finally became cruel and threw the memorial with his eyes closed. into the fire.

With the slightly rising fire, a black smoke spread in the room immediately.Seeing that he had already begun to destroy the evidence, and other papers were in danger, Ling Feng suddenly had an idea, took the fire papers he carried with him, ran to the outer hall, and set fire to the window paper covered between the window edges...

In winter, the wooden windows were dry and dry, and were quickly ignited by the window paper on them, just like this "crackling" and burned into a ball.Ling Feng hurriedly hid in the dark, and shouted into the distance with a proud face: "It's out of water!!"

The people in the room were startled, perhaps because they were too focused just now, and he didn't notice the strangeness until then, and rushed to the outer room to have a look, but at this moment the windows were completely burned, and a group of royal guards were attacking with lightning speed. Erzhi rushed to the door.

The fire was extinguished, and the deacon of the Chief of Administration was placed between the spears without hesitation by the Ouchi guards. The captain of the imperial army sent by Chu Xiao looked at the blackened window frame in the outer hall, and then walked slowly to In the inner room, he picked up the few memorials that hadn't been burned yet.

Ling Feng was still hiding in the dark, looking at the man whose face was pale with fright and his legs were weak. If he hadn't been held between the two guards at this moment, he would have collapsed on the ground long ago.

"As a deacon of the Department of Civil Affairs, he left his post without permission during his duty, kept important memorials privately and did not report them, and intended to destroy them privately." The commander of the imperial army continued to conclude word by word with a solemn face. , "During the destruction of evidence, due to careless use of fire, water leaked out. Now the stolen goods have been seized, and they will be immediately sent to the prison of the Forbidden Army Camp to wait for their release!"

"Well said!" Ling Feng pursed his lips, and silently sighed twice in his heart. No wonder Chu Xiao would send him to cooperate with him in doing things.

"Yes."

The people in the room gradually retreated, leaving only the captain standing there with a frown.He looked around, but couldn't find where Ling Feng was hiding, so he casually turned in one direction and said in a deep voice, "Come out."

"The general's clean and neat handling of this matter is really extraordinary." Ling Feng suddenly emerged from the shadow beside him, flattering his face without blushing or panting, and being unreasonable and strong.

"Set fire to the window, thank you for thinking of it!" Although the captain of the imperial army knew that he was in the house, he was still taken aback by his sudden appearance, raised his eyes to glance at the bare window, and frowned displeasedly.

"Look, isn't this story just made up by you to make it reasonable?!" Ling Feng looked at his unsmiling seriousness, and for some reason suddenly wondered if all the people in the Forbidden Barracks had been infected by Chu Xiao. They are all serious and pimple faces.

"I'm going back to my life, is there anything else I want to convey?"

But the captain ignored his teasing, looked sideways at Ling Feng's undisciplined look, and snorted coldly with disdain.

"Don't forget the first trial..." Ling Feng pursed his lips, and looked back at him with his arms around his shoulders, "He is not the only deacon who manages the Jiangnan Memorial..."

The captain of the imperial army's eyes darkened, and his expression became more serious. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then he clenched the sword around his waist, and while turning around, he replied in a low voice: "Yes."
