Shiqing does not regret

Nuo Shang hurried back in a nocturnal suit: "My lord, as expected, Zhou Bing's old fox didn't go back to his mansion, but went directly to Liang's mansion." After Zhou Bing left, Nuo Shang kept going Follow him.

"This old fox is probably afraid that the matter will not be dealt with cleanly." Yan Shu took a sip of tea unhurriedly.

"I climbed up to their eaves tonight and eavesdropped on their conversation. Zhou Bing angrily accused Liang Shifeng of not doing a clean job, and the housekeeper disappeared. He was afraid that they might panic, and he must be afraid that his housekeeper would not do things well, so Tomorrow Liang Shifeng will personally go to Yinshouliang to check the account of the mildew rice, and clean up the account." Nuo Shang was tired and thirsty, so he also sat down, took a sip of tea, and took a breather.

"It's a pity that Liang Shunfeng didn't know that his old housekeeper was a man of love and righteousness. When I sent people to arrest him today, he would rather die than recruit him. When the government sent people to arrest him, he jumped off the cliff. He knew that if Liang Shifeng couldn't run away, he wouldn't have to pay for his own life. By the way, you gather your men tomorrow, and I will personally capture this dog official Liang Shifeng tomorrow." Yan Shu put the teacup on the table, Loudly.

"Yes, my lord."

"Come on, arrest everyone for me."

Yan Shu appeared in front of Liang Shi's cover wearing an official uniform. At this time, Liang Shifeng was busy checking the account books of the Yinshouliang Bank. When he saw Yan Shu suddenly leading the troops, he was very surprised. His face was pale and his voice trembled slightly: " Why are you here?" He didn't let go of the book in his hand.

"Of course it's thanks to Mr. Liang's good steward, otherwise how would I have found this place?" Yan Shu raised his eyebrows and approached Liang Shunfeng, and casually snatched the accounts from Liang Shunfeng's hands.

……

Inside the prison

"My lord Liang, I will give you a chance. It depends on whether you cooperate or not. You know that the money sold for the sale of [-] dan of grain is not a small amount. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you are not the only one who will be sentenced for selling military grain. The death penalty will bring disaster to the whole family. You are so bold as a servant of the fourth-rank household department, could it be that someone instigated you to do this?" Yan Shu stood outside the prison door, looking at Liang Shunfeng who had changed into a prison uniform, thinking that the original prisoner That's it.

"No one... No one..." Liang Shunfeng was hesitant to speak when he saw the embarrassed expression on his face.

"Your Majesty Liang really couldn't see the coffin and shed tears. Do you know that you have borne the crime alone and the whole family has been punished, but the messenger behind the scenes still thinks about the happiness of the people. Master Liang is a good-hearted man? If you say To tell the truth, perhaps the death penalty can still be avoided, Master Liang, please weigh it carefully." Yan Shu is persuasive and persuasive.

"Can you really keep me from dying? If I don't die, I will give you all my wealth, Lord Yan. Please save me, Lord." Liang Shunfeng's psychological defense line was breached by Yan Shu, and he quickly stretched out his hand from the prison door to hold him tightly. Yan Shu knelt down at the corner of his clothes.I am afraid that I also know the seriousness of the matter, and I am probably scared.

"It depends on your sincerity, Mr. Liang. How many truths can you tell, Mr. Liang?" Seeing that Liang Shunfeng turned pale with fright, Yan Shu knew that he was playing a trick, and continued to seduce.

Liang Shunfeng was not an extremely stupid person, so he naturally knew what Yan Shu was referring to, "Actually, the private sale of military rations was not my idea alone. I wouldn't dare to give me 1 guts. But, no, no, Master Zhou asked me to do this."

"Bastard, you can actually frame Mr. Zhou. You know that according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, slandering an imperial official is a capital offense. Since you say so, do you have evidence?" Yan Shu's expression suddenly became serious, not angry but mighty.

"My family still has an account book of money transactions with Mr. Zhou at that time. He thought that I would hand over the account book to him after the matter was completed, but I was also afraid that something would happen, so I expanded the important transactions inside and kept it. Get up. Your Excellency can go to the bottom of the pot on the right side of the firewood room in my house, and you will know that the words of the lower official are true. Please check it out and save the life of the lower official.” Sure enough, Liang Shunfeng was frightened , knowing that he has committed a capital crime, it is important to try his best to save his life.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Sure enough, there is such a debt. I didn't expect that Liang Shifeng's head is not stupid. Now Zhou Bing's crime can be punished at the same time. It's really satisfying." Yan Shu and Nuo Shang walked out of the prison and went directly to Liang Shun. Feng's family took the account book, and seeing that the account book was real, Nuo Shang quickly put it in his arms, and whispered to Yan Shu.

"Nuoshang, prepare your horse and follow me to the Zhou Mansion immediately to settle this matter." Yan Shu walked out of the door without looking back, and got on the horse.

"Master Zhou, I only invited you yesterday, how could I have come to pay a special visit to you today?" Yan Shu only entered the door after the servants of Zhou's mansion informed his master.

"Master Yan, I heard that you arrested Master Liang today. Is there such a thing?" Zhou Bingzheng was worried about this matter, but when Yan Shu came to the door by himself, he knew that he had bad intentions and asked in a bad tone.

"It's just because of this, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your residence in such a hurry." Yan Shu heard his bad tone, and quickly comforted Zhou Bing.

"Master Yan, if you have something to say, you and I know it well, so there's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Zhou Bing sat on his octagonal chair with tea, as if he was savoring the charm of Huangshan Maojian. Already in a cold sweat, he just pretended to be calm.

Knowing his panic at this time, Yan Shu looked at Zhou Bing's embarrassment, and sat down on his own: "Master Zhou really misunderstood me. If I really have other intentions, it is impossible for me to appear here now." Yes. I can come here, but I want Mr. Zhou to feel at ease." This is Yan Shu's purpose this time, or even more interesting, to appease the heart of a lamb at the mercy of others.

"What does Lord Yan mean?" Zhou Bing raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup, and thought, why is this different from what he thought, didn't Yan Shu come to arrest him?Asked in a slightly kind tone.

"Since I have always been sincere in making friends with you, because I am a confidant in the officialdom, and I am the most jealous, today I brought a gift to my lord, and I hope you will accept it. Nuo Shang, present the gift." Yan Shu Spread out the folding fan and shake it a few times, seemingly without presence, so elegant.

Nuo Shang hurriedly took out the account book from his chest, and presented the account book to Zhou Bing with both hands.

"This is..." Zhou Bing quickly opened the account book and took a look.Turned pale with shock, he raised his head and looked at Yan Shu in puzzlement.

"My lord, don't be surprised, this is nothing. Since I sent this reason to Mr. Zhou, it is enough to show that I believe in Mr. Zhou's character." Yan Shu looked at Zhou Bing, smiled warmly, and there seemed to be an unpredictable expression on his face. smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan for trusting me. Mr. Yan is truly my benefactor." As he spoke, he quickly put the account book into his pocket, fearing that others would see it.

"Hey? It's okay, since Yan thinks you can make friends with him, he has full authority to trust his friends." Yan Shu continued to shake her fan.

"Remember Mr. Yan's great kindness, Mr. Zhou." Zhou Bing stood up, fisted with both hands, and bowed to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu also got up quickly, and hurriedly supported Zhou Bing: "Master Zhou, what's the matter? Could it be that I've offended my younger brother. My younger brother regards Master Zhou as a confidant, so what's the harm in doing this? But Master Zhou, Yan still has a Kindly please."

"Master Yan, but it's okay to say." Zhou Bing's tone at this time has become much more gentle, and it doesn't have the momentum of Yan Shu just coming in.

"Liang Shifeng actually committed such a serious crime as selling military rations. He must be sentenced to death. I ransacked his home and confiscated the money. The remaining money was only enough to exchange for [-] shi of grain, but there was still a shortage of [-] shi. Ten thousand loads of food, please do me a favor." Yan Shu frowned, pretending to be very considerate.

"It's easy to handle. I should use my savings for many years to offer [-] dans of food to make up for the crime of lax governance. I also hope that these [-] dans of food can relieve the hunger of the border guards." Zhou Bing knew what he said. It means that there is no reason for people in the officialdom to help others casually. Besides, it is not easy to survive at this time, and Yan Shu has helped him a lot.

"Master Zhou understands righteousness so well, I want to thank Master Zhou for the soldiers in the barracks first, and I will definitely tell the soldiers to forget the person who gave the rice when they eat rice." Yan Shu said to Zhou solemnly. Bing bowed, thankfully, Zhou Bing is now the living parents of him and the soldiers.

"Where is it, the biggest benefactor is Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan is really a young man with ambition and talent..."

"It still depends on Mr. Zhou's promotion. Everyone knows that the prince has always mastered these six works. We all work together. Yan Shu is young and not as calm as Mr. Zhou, so he still needs to be supported by Mr. Yan." Yan Shu spoke in a flattering tone. .

"Of course, Zhou Moumou will never forget Lord Yan's kindness today."

Nuo Shang followed Yan Shu out of the Zhou Mansion, a little puzzled, and asked his master in a low voice: "Master, why did you give this old fox the account book we finally obtained? You know, we managed to catch this man Now is a good opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop."

"Do you really think that Zhou Bing is so bold to use the military rations?" Yan Shu took a fan and knocked on Nuo Shang's head, thinking that Nuo Shang is usually very smart, why can't he figure it out.

Nuo Shang immediately understood Yan Shu's words, but the water was still very deep, "You mean?"

"That's right, there's King Jing above him." Zhou Bing's boss is King Jing, and Yan Shu doesn't believe that this matter has nothing to do with King Jing.

"Could it be that King Jing is also greedy for this money?" King Jing is an aristocrat of the royal family, and his family property should not be underestimated. How could he be greedy for such a small amount of money?

"How does this tens of thousands of grains compare to the prince's wealth?" Yan Shu asked Nuo Shang.

"It's a drop in the bucket, it's simply incomparable. Then why did the prince want to bring up the idea of ​​military rations?" There is no comparison between these two. If Prince Jing is not greedy for this money, then what does it have to do with this matter.

"I guess he wanted the guards in Chang'an city to be turbulent and mutiny, making Chang'an city restless. Then the emperor would be like a frightened bird, completely unthinkable, so that he could only rely on King Jing again and again, and gradually become the king of the city. A pawn in the hands of King Jing. Do you think we can catch Zhou Bing, even if Zhou Bing bites King Jing, it will not kill King Jing, but it will make King Jing vigilant and get rid of us quickly. How can we beat him like this? Why don't we give Zhou Bing a favor and let him help me connect with King Jing, wouldn't it be better?" Yan Shu smoothed out the conjectures in his mind, and said that he and Nuo Shang listen.

After Nuo Shang listened to it, he suddenly realized that it seemed that Yan Shu had understood everything a long time ago. Sure enough, after so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Yan Shu had also cultivated Yan Shu's careful thinking. Watching the person in front of him grow from a [-]-year-old girl to a Nuo Shang didn't know whether it was sadness or joy for a "young man" who had been in the officialdom for a long time and came from a stable background, and said, "A grown-up is thoughtful, and Nuo Shang admires him."

"Let's go, follow me to escort the [-] dans of grain to Xixiaokou tomorrow, and give an explanation to the soldiers." Yan Shu shook the paper fan in his hand, looked at the sunset not far away, the sky was still clear for thousands of miles, and then on horseback.

"promise."
