I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

After burning a stick of incense, Wang Zhao led his troops to surround the Zaqu Building in Washe, strictly forbidding anyone to go out.

Then, shopkeeper Yu, the owner of Zaqulou, was escorted in front of Wang Zhao.

Shopkeeper Yu shouted for injustice in panic and doubt, and asked why.Wang Zhaoqi looked at him silently, without speaking.A while later, after the yamen servants searched the Zaqu Building and told them that they had not found the shopkeeper's wife Pan, Wang Zhao asked where the shopkeeper went.

"She went out this morning, but I don't know where she went."

After the shopkeeper Yu finished explaining, he was questioned by Wang Zhao's eyes, and hurriedly continued to add explanations.

"Recently she often goes out, and she doesn't tell her when she asks her. If we ask more questions, we will quarrel. Wang Wang also knows that I mainly do juggling at night, entertaining guests, and everyone is busy all night in the morning. Sleepy. I saw that she insisted on going out this morning and didn't say why, so I really didn't have the energy to take care of her, so I quarreled with her again."

Wang Zhao remembered that during the Huandie case, Mrs. Cui told him that shopkeeper Yu caught Pan's rape on the spot, but she endured the matter and did not pursue it.Now his wife's whereabouts are mysterious, and the shopkeeper still can't control it.

"You two are interesting." Wang Zhao sneered.

The shopkeeper Yu bowed his head in embarrassment, because he felt a little ashamed, so he couldn't say anything more.

Wang Zhao then took Mafu Liu, who came with him, to the room where shopkeeper Yu and Mrs. Pan lived.Although the incense burner in the house is not lit, there is still a strong fragrance of mala remaining.As soon as Liu Mafu smelled it, he nodded immediately, indicating that this was the kind of Malika he had smelled before.

Wang Zhao asked someone to bring dried flowers to ask Mafu Liu to confirm which one they belonged to.

"The one in the house, what the villain smelled was not the pure Marika, but the villain couldn't describe all the smells, so I could only say it was Marika at that time." Mafu Liu said with affirmation.

Wang Zhao then ordered people to search the room carefully, and asked Mrs. Pan, the shopkeeper, if he knew the accounts of Zaqulou.

Shopkeeper Yu shook his head, "She doesn't care about that."

"That's fine."

Wang Zhao ordered the yamen servant to declare to the public that the shopkeeper Yu had concealed the arrears of commercial taxes, and took the shopkeeper away in public.Leave a few more skilled yamen servants to wait in the dark in Zaqulou, and if Pan returns, they will be arrested immediately.

In Pan's and Shopkeeper Yu's room, apart from a pack of silver needles, nothing special was found.

Cui Tao saw the silver needle in the yellow leather package sent by Wang Zhao, and thought of Mrs. Qian.

"When the red clothes hijacked those children, they broke their throats. Mrs. Qian also used this trick on her own children, using silver needles."

When Hongyi hijacked the child, the 'subordinates' he brought with him were all hired Jiang Hu people.These people from the rivers and lakes will not use silver needles to break their throats.Cui Tao originally thought that Hongyi knew this skill herself, but now it seems that someone else is probably doing it, such as Pan.

Cui Tao ordered people to fetch the silver needle used by Mrs. Qian.Because the silver needle is not the evidence related to the murder in Zhang Susu's case, and it was Mrs. Qian who confessed it on her own initiative, so the silver needle is still at Mrs. Qian's home at this moment and has not been retrieved.

It is a coincidence that the two packs of silver needles are of the same size, thickness and quantity.It can be seen that the two bags of silver needles should come from the same place, and Qian Niangzi's silver needle bag is indeed from Tianji Pavilion.

Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that Mrs. Pan also came from Tianji Pavilion just like Mrs. Qian.

Cui Tao drew a circle with a pen at the Town God's Temple, and then drew a circle at the southeast direction far away from the Town God's Temple, where the mission's official residence is located.Kaifeng Mansion is probably in the middle of these two places, and there are military patrol shops on the streets between them.

When the incident happened, Zhang Yang in red appeared and fled to the Temple of the City God after attracting attention. He hijacked ten children and confronted the Kaifeng government.And just at this time, the thieves who pretended to be officials of the Kaifeng government came to the official residence of the mission, deceived Yeludou'er and others with fake waist cards, and walked two streets swaggeringly.

After all, those people are fake yamen servants. Once they meet the real yamen servants of the military patrol shop, they are likely to be exposed.Hongyi's trick successfully transferred most of the people from the military patrol shop to the City God's Temple. The distance between the two sides is relatively far, and it will take time to return to the past even if they get the news in time.

"This tactic hits east and west, and it's used extremely well."

"It turned out that she killed Zhang Susu and hijacked Judge Wang to attract the attention of the Kaifeng government. Everyone was so angry with her that when she showed up, we couldn't help but hunt her down with all our strength." Li Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred, feeling that she did not take human life seriously just to attract people's attention, it was too cruel and cruel.

"These desperadoes have always regarded human life as worthless." Wang Zhao sneered and sighed, his eyes were also full of hatred and disgust.

What Hongyi did was indeed big enough to attract the attention of the Kaifeng Mansion, but if it was just because of this matter, to kill Zhang Susu and rob the judge... Cui Tao always felt that it was impossible to be so simple.

"During the confrontation, I saw that she was very proud. I was afraid that she had made up her mind that she could escape, but in the end, she still failed to fight against Mrs. Cui. She was defeated because of her conceit, and she was reduced to committing suicide with a lottery..." Li Yuan He gritted his teeth in hatred again, "But she still took advantage of her, so she died so easily."

"Everyone is already dead, so there is no need to think about her. What matters now is the case of the mission. After being hijacked, are they left in the city or have they left the city? Are they dead or alive?" Cui Tao paused, "Also, what is the ultimate goal of the thief?"

"In Bianjing, at the foot of the imperial city, daring to act so boldly as an envoy outside the world is most likely to provoke the relationship between the two countries." Han Qi analyzed, "But the king of Xiping County has more status in the embassy. If you arrest him , it would be easier to irritate the Liao Lord, and it would make the Song side panic even more. But they did not attack the Xiping County King, but only arrested Yeludouer and others who are relatively less valued by the Khitan people."

Cui Tao: "If he did this matter on the second day, he would explain it according to his reasons, and people would not be able to help thinking about it. Yeludou'er and others just had an accident, and he reacted so quickly and disappeared immediately. The excitement is not big enough. It can be vaguely seen from this that he really wants to cause panic in Song Dynasty, and also really wants to provoke the two countries to war."

"They all want to panic in the Song Dynasty, they all want to start a war...then the king of Xiping County has the same purpose as those thieves?" Wang Zhao suddenly realized, and opened his eyes wide. ?”

"This possibility is not ruled out, and the possibility is very high." Han Qi agreed.

"A group of gangsters in the rivers and lakes is so big that they dare to collude with foreigners." Li Yuan opened his mouth wide in surprise and had to cover it with his hands.

Cui Tao reminded them: "There is no evidence yet, so you can't talk nonsense about this." Kaifeng Mansion is now in a sensitive period, so it is even more forbidden to do wrong things and say wrong things at this time.

Wang Zhao and Li Yuan all agreed.

"The husband-wife relationship between Shopkeeper Yu and Mrs. Pan is too weird. Could Shopkeeper Yu also belong to Tianji Pavilion?" Wang Zhao asked again.

"A detailed review."

Wang Zhao agreed and decided to interrogate shopkeeper Yu himself, and Li Yuan followed suit.

Li Cai took the two portraits of the leading robbers and asked around around the state bridge, and finally found a place where they could set up carriages and horses and disguise themselves.Next to the Xiangguo Temple Bridge, there is a large house that is being repaired and rebuilt. Fortifications are in progress, and the front and rear doors are open to facilitate the transportation of wood and stone.At that time, those people swaggered in through the back door.

Two carpenters were witnessing the situation, and they were told by the "fake yamen servants" that the Kaifeng government was handling an important case, and the temporary requisition of this place not only required them to keep it secret, but also required them to take good care of the chariots and horses they left behind.The two carpenters saw that they were in a good fight, and they were both wearing the clothes of the Kaifeng government officials, and they were holding the badges, so they were convinced of it, and obediently agreed to do so.

"They witnessed that those people changed their clothes, carried a few bulging sacks out of a luxury carriage, and put them on the other two ordinary carriages, and then these people drove away. There were five or six groups in total. They left one after another, and some people walked through the front door. The speed was so fast that it didn't even take half a stick of incense."

Now Li Cai has recovered the carriage and horses used by the mission at that time, but the whereabouts of those groups of people after they dispersed have not yet been found out.

Instead of killing the missionaries immediately, they took a lot of trouble to rob them like this.There is a high probability that the members of these missions are still alive, and it is very likely that their lives will be used as a condition for the deal.If the conditions are really discussed, they will definitely be very difficult conditions.Because the Song court will spare no effort to rescue the members of the Liao mission, so as to avoid accidents in the peaceful diplomacy between the two countries.

Cui Tao rested her cheek in one hand, and after thinking for a moment, she looked at Han Qi with a bad feeling.

Han Qi also thought about it, and looked back at Cui Tao with deep eyes, "How about dismissing you?"

Wang Siniang and Ping'er were rushing over to ask if they could help, when they walked to the door, they were surprised when they heard Han Qi's words.

Wang Siniang was the first to get angry.

How could Han Tuiguan say such driving words to their boss?Who doesn't know that their boss has made great achievements in Kaifeng Mansion?

"What does Han Tuiguan mean? Even if he is a high-ranking official, he can't bully our boss like this and drive her away casually! You are also engaged, how can a man bully his own woman like this? When the case can be solved, Just take credit for all the credit, and push her to take the responsibility if you can't break it?"

Wang Siniang couldn't accept it. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that Han Tuiguan, who usually looks as gentle as jade, could say such a thing.

Rolling up her sleeves, she was about to rush into the house to argue with Han Qi, but was grabbed by Ping'er.

Cui Tao is now looking at Han Qi with all eyes, "If I fire me, it will be even harder for Liu Lang."

"No problem," Han Qi smiled lightly, and said to Cui Tao in a low voice, "Give me a chance to eat something hard."

Hard meal?Wang Siniang scratched her head and rushed into the room.She was grabbed by Ping'er again, and this time Ping'er directly pulled her three feet away.

Wang Siniang wanted to scold Pinger for getting in the way, but suddenly found that Pinger blushed.

"What's your situation?"

"Can't you hear it? The young couple are flirting, you must be messing around." Ping'er immediately explained to Wang Siniang that the equivalent of 'hard rice' is 'soft rice'.

Wang Siniang suddenly realized, "It turns out that Han Tuiguan dismissed the boss to protect her? But the boss stayed in Kaifeng Mansion to work, because he was granted the title of the official. Did Han Tuiguan dismiss him just because he said he would?"

"This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but Mrs. Cui is really dangerous this time. These cases are all related to Tianji Pavilion, and Hong Yi was so targeted at Mrs. Cui before. It seems that Tianji Pavilion is in trouble because of Qingfu Temple and Su Yuwan. Take revenge on Kaifeng Mansion and Mrs. Cui. The mission was robbed, which involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If those people made a deal on the condition of Mrs. Cui, it would be too easy for the court to make a decision. Che Baoshuai." Ping'er guessed.

Wang Siniang suddenly panicked, "Bastard bastard, how can such a big court be so unreasonable, and actually want a little girl's life to protect the country! I fucking—"

Wang Siniang wanted to curse more harshly, but Ping'er stopped her mouth in time.If she was not heard by others, she was afraid that she would be convicted of disrespect to the court, and she might also be disrespectful to the king.

No one knew how Cui Tao and Han Qi discussed in the room. In short, the final result was that Han pushed the official to order Cui Tao to move out of the Fengfu, and formally asked the emperor to dismiss him.

Before dusk, Cui Tao brought Wang Siniang and Ping'er out of the deserted courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.

Everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion was quite indignant at this decision, it was too sudden, and Mrs. Cui was working in the Kaifeng Mansion these days, and she was making meritorious deeds, so she was fired if she made a mistake?

Unexpectedly, the reason given by the official Han Tui next made it impossible for everyone to refute.

Official Han is actually engaged to Mrs. Cui!

On the grounds that it is inappropriate for the husband and wife to work in the same place, Han Tuiguan asked for Cui Tao's permission to leave the government office so that Cui Tao could prepare for her marriage and take care of her husband and children.

The news shocked everyone!The officials have no reason to refuse!
