The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

"Master, all the resumes written by the petty officials have been handed in. Which one do you think should be interrogated first?" Xiao Chengzi came to Situ Meng who was sitting in the center of the lobby, and asked respectfully. road.

"By the way, Xiaotian, I remember that among the members of the Death Squad, there seem to be some who are good at interrogating, aren't they?" Situ Meng suddenly remembered something, looked at Lin Tian and asked.

"Well, yes! Although they have also learned a lot of knowledge in this area from their predecessors, there are not many opportunities to practice it? Why, do you want to provide them with such a good opportunity now?" Lin Tian asked with a smile road.

"En!" Situ Meng nodded without hesitation and said: "My side is currently short of manpower, and I don't feel particularly relieved about the Imperial Forest Army. If it is like we were before, it will be troublesome, or I'm more relieved to hand it over to the members of the Reaper Squad trained by you!

It happens that these eighth-rank and ninth-rank petty officials and officials are all interrogated separately. If something more important or valuable is found out, it will be summarized and we will review it if necessary.

Now, after all, time is limited. Although our actions were quick enough and caught them off guard, the incident here is so big that it must not be covered. If we don't interrogate something valuable before the court comes, we will completely It doesn't make much sense to uncover the dark web behind that scene.

After all, it was just a warehouse that was wiped out. As long as the people behind it are willing, they can find another place to build one near the canal soon!Then we are busy in vain! "

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult! Those little shrimps below, let alone know who the person behind the scenes is, even if they know, so what, even if they have evidence in their hands, they can only correct the big one at most. On the steward.

Moreover, do you think they know it, but dare to confess the people behind it?Don't forget, they are all offshoots of the aristocratic family, and their participation probably means that their family is also involved.

If it's just one or two clans, it's okay to wipe them all out, but think about it, can this be done by one or two clans?I'm afraid that what is hidden behind this is deeper than you and I originally expected!

In the end, even if you really find the black hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to arrest him!After all, even the emperor can't do what he wants most of the time, so even if he is right, he still has to compromise with the ministers in the court, doesn't he? "

Lin Tian looked at Situ Meng, whose eyes were red and his heart was burning with anger, and comforted him: "Mengmeng, don't be too aggressive, don't make things difficult for yourself. I remember someone once said that politics is never black and white. It is an art of compromise, which is to find the balance between things as much as possible, and then to maintain them!

Well, you just need to do your best and hand over all the things you found to the emperor, and how to deal with it in the end, I will leave it to the emperor!After all, you are still just an empty prince, and you don't have the ability to make those aristocratic families compromise with you. "

"But, just let them go like this? I'm not reconciled!" Situ Meng clenched his fist tightly and said with a face full of resentment.

"Hehe...then you can work hard! Work hard, when you can speak in the court and no one dares to refute, you can do whatever you want? Hahahaha..." Lin Tian said , I laughed first.

"Okay, okay! Stop making trouble, Xiaotao, go tell the captains of the Reaper Squad and let them divide their own points. Before today's meal, I must interrogate all these people. If there is anything If you have any questions, just come to me at any time, the prince and I will stay in this mansion all the time today!

By the way, let the guards patrolling outside pay more attention. Don't allow anyone to sneak out of this mansion. Also, send a team of guards to monitor the situation of the garrison camp outside the city. If they have any changes, come as soon as possible report! "

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he pulled Situ Meng out of the lobby, and went to the back to see the garrison general Bi Guocai whose limbs had been crippled by her, and the Governor of Xuzhou whose limbs were broken by Situ Meng. After all, the two of them The highest-level position is the highest, and it should also know the most secrets.

"Ah... Take it easy, it hurts me to death!"

Far away, before entering the room, the two heard the screams of Xuzhou Fuyin's screams like killing a pig.

"Hehe, Mengmeng, it seems that you haven't hit hard enough, he said that you are still full of energy right now?" Lin Tian said with a sneer.

For this person who wanted to assassinate Situ Meng with a dagger smeared with poison, Lin Tian didn't have any good feelings in his heart, and even put him on the death blacklist long ago, only because of Situ Meng's request, so he kept it temporarily It's just his life.

"Let's go, let's go and see the governor of Xuzhou. I have a lot of questions that I need him to solve!" Situ Meng said, holding Lin Tian's hand and going directly into the room where the governor of Xuzhou was detained.

"Mengmeng, for this kind of dying person, what do you want the doctor to look at! It's a waste of time and medicinal materials! If you didn't stop me just now, I would have sent him to see the King of Hades a long time ago. There is no need for such trouble! "

As soon as Lin Tiangang entered the door, he saw the doctor was carefully setting bones and applying medicine to the governor of Xuzhou, his face immediately fell down, and he said displeasedly.

"Hehe...Master Fuyin, you have heard it all! If you don't want to suffer more, then you should answer obediently when this king asks you, otherwise..."

Situ Meng's words were full of strong threats, while he was speaking, he had already walked to the chair next to the governor of Xuzhou and sat down, looking directly at him.

"How is it? How is the injury, Mr. Fuyin? Did you drop your head? Will it affect the next interrogation of this king?" Situ Meng looked at the old doctor beside him and asked.

"Returning to the lord, your lord is only broken in the hands and feet, and the broken parts are clean and neat, and they have been connected now. As long as you take a good rest within a hundred days and don't use force to dislocate the bones, then there will be no problems. Yes! Just ask the prince what you want, this injury will not affect your brain at all!" The old doctor explained seriously.

"Ah! I understand. By the way, didn't I ask you to go and see the garrison general? How is he? Are you awake now? Can I ask questions?" Situ Meng continued to ask.

"That adult is in some trouble. He must have been hit three times in a row. Although his body is not bad, his limbs are broken, and his lumbar spine is also injured. Few of the other bones in his body are intact. .

Even if the old man exhausts all he has learned in his life, he can only guarantee that he will not die. As for the rest, alas... I guess there is no hope, and I can only spend the rest of my life in bed!The person is still in a coma due to excessive blood loss at the moment, but he has already drank the medicine prescribed by the old man, and he should be able to wake up after dinner! "The old doctor said with some emotion.

"Then thank you, doctor! However, I would like to trouble you to live in this mansion for the time being and take care of it. If you need anything, you can ask the guards on duty in the mansion for help!" Situ Meng said politely .

"Thank you, my lord, I'll take my leave first!" the old doctor said, and left with the medicine box.

"How about it? Lord Fu Yin, now you can talk to me about the fact that the official salt was sold at a high price, right? Who is behind this? And you, Xuzhou Fu Yin, are here What kind of role does it play in this?" Situ Meng sat upright on the chair and asked seriously.

"My lord, haven't you already wiped out the warehouse at Yunlong Lake? Then you should know everything, and why are you asking me!" Xuzhou Governor said a little discouraged.

"What I know is what I know, but what I want to ask now is what you know!"

What Situ Meng said was like a tongue twister, but Xuzhou Fu Yin heard it clearly, but he hesitated for a while.

This matter of protecting and shielding private salt dealers has been discovered and caught, and his official career will come to an end.Moreover, I am afraid that even my life is in danger. What difference does it make if I say it or not.

Judging from the few inside stories he knows, if he dies, he may not hurt his family and clansmen. Those aristocrats.

I'm afraid that my whole family will become a victim of their wrestling, and be completely destroyed by those black-hearted nobles. After all, the court still has to abide by the law, and will not kill people for no reason, but those people will not, they can call their subordinates at will The guards and thugs pretended to be bandits and water bandits, who could do anything, murder and set fire.

As if he could see his hesitation, Situ Meng was rarely in a hurry, but deliberately said nothing, just sat there, not in a hurry, quietly waiting for his answer.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Lin Tian was getting impatient. She really didn't know what kind of medicine Situ Meng was selling in this gourd.

After all, according to her thinking, isn't this interrogation just for questioning?All kinds of questions, continuous bombardment, kept asking the suspect to collapse.If you ask too many questions and answer too many questions, then there will be loopholes, and then you can catch the loopholes and continue to ask questions to get the correct result you want, isn't it?

But what is Situ Meng doing now?Comparing your patience with the staring eyes of the prisoner?Whoever speaks first loses?

Although her heart was full of questions, Lin Tian didn't intend to break the silence and ask. She casually sat on the chair next to Situ Meng, then simply closed her eyes and began to rest her mind.Because of the sudden incident this time, she hadn't closed her eyes for two days and one night, so she just took this opportunity to take a good rest.

Almost an hour passed, and no one in the room spoke. It was eerily quiet.Governor Xuzhou felt that the air in the room was getting thinner and thinner, as if he would suffocate and die in the next second.

Even though Situ Meng didn't say a word, just sat across from him and stared at Governor Xuzhou without saying a word, but he felt that he was being watched by a ferocious beast, and he might be violently violent by the other party at any time. Torn to shreds, as time passed, his psychological defense slowly became unbearable until it completely collapsed.

"My lord, if I tell you everything I know, can you guarantee the safety of me and my family?" In the end, the governor of Xuzhou opened his mouth with a difficult and dry voice.
