Survival countdown

When Zhao Chongjin arrived at the magistrate's yamen, he wanted to rescue Huo Zhaowen, but when he saw Yan Bing appearing, he stopped quickly. After waiting for about half an hour, he finally saw Huo Zhaowen coming back safe and sound.

With a thought in his heart, Yue Mo guessed that it was Zhao Baiyu who instigated it.

He keeps an eye on the case?

In other words, Huo Zhaowen, who thought he was the prey, was the one being hunted?On the surface, it was Yan Bing's quilt talk, but in fact, he took the initiative to disclose two cases and got Huo Zhaowen involved?

Yan Duwei: "Zhao Baiyu's younger brother again?"

Zhao Chongjin felt a little harsh, and corrected: "I haven't recognized it seriously yet."

Yan Duwei thought to himself, is there a difference?

When the two had their own concerns, Huo Zhaowen had already said goodbye to Yan Bing, and passed them with a gloomy expression.The two quickly followed, caring for Huo Zhaowen's body.

When Huo Zhaowen returned to the hotel, he fell on the chair and closed his eyes fiercely. His indifferent and stern aura frightened others, and no one dared to answer.

After a while, Huo Zhaowen suddenly opened his eyes: "Erlang, you have been in Liangjiang for almost three years, and you haven't met that third master yet?"

Zhao Chongjin: "I have been rejected several times, but I suddenly changed my mind a few years ago and revealed that I would like to meet. But then something happened to Liangjiang, and the third master fell ill. Since then, the plan to meet has been delayed. come down."

Huo Zhaowen: "Where is he?"

Zhao Chongjin shook his head: "I'm ashamed of my humble job, I couldn't find out."

"Two Rivers is really a place where the crouching tiger hides the dragon." Huo Zhaowen sneered, "Prepare paper and pen, wait for me to edit a book, and fly the pigeon to send the book to Kang Wang's mansion."

The guard was very fast, and immediately prepared the paper and pen, and Huo Zhaowen only thought for a while before writing, the pen ran like a snake, and quickly wrote a letter and stuffed it into an envelope and sent it out.

Zhao Chongjin took two steps forward: "The case of Chaoshang was committed by Yashang, but Guan Wenbin was put on His Highness's head. Could it be that Yashang got the news at the first time and ordered Guan Wenbin to do it overnight?"

"It's not the tooth merchant, it's the king's aunt, the eldest princess of Dajing!" Huo Zhaowen angrily threw off the wet towel for washing his hands and face, his face was cold, but fortunately he was able to think calmly. "Some people have to be removed from Liangjiang's officialdom, and some of the arms of the bullying Gan merchants have to be cut off. As for the king's own aunt, it's time for her to be discouraged."

Zhao Chongjin: "Changping has been running Liangjiang for 20 years, and there are people in the official circles and Gan businessmen. His Highness has been in Liangjiang for a month, and he has no clue. Finally, he found a murder case that could break into Liangjiang's officialdom, but was caught by this official and that official. He was blocked, and today he was in a catastrophe. The majestic prince was imprisoned, enough to cut off ten heads of Guan Wenbin! Guan Wenbin is certainly hateful, but the person who instructs him to disregard human life and disregard the court's laws behind the scenes is the real rampant There is such a person in Dajing, and sooner or later it will be corroded and riddled with holes. Therefore, the humble official believes that if you capture a thief, you should first capture the king, and if you defeat a Changping and a third master, then the tree will fall and the monkeys will be scattered, and the rest will not be feared .”

Huo Zhaowen stared at Zhao Chongjin coldly, who remained motionless with a respectful posture, as if he was thinking of him wholeheartedly.

"Erlang, this king knows that you have selfish intentions, and I don't mind if you play tricks. As long as your heart is on the great cause and on this king, and it doesn't get in the way of the overall situation, this king can turn a blind eye to it. When the time is right, it's not without reward. But if one day you let your personal relationship gain the upper hand and delay the big event, don't blame me for disregarding the old friendship."

Zhao Chongjin didn't change his face: "The humble job understands."

Huo Zhaowen: "The origin of the 'Third Lord' is unknown and mysterious. He may have guessed which side you are from. He promised to see you, which means he intends to surrender."

Zhao Chongjin: "The humble official has always fought alone in Liangjiang, and has never had any intersection with the former Cao Si envoy Chen Zhizhou. It should not be obvious that the humble official is loyal to His Highness."

Huo Zhaowen: "In the officialdom of Liangjiang, apart from the local bosses and snakes fighting back and forth, only people from Zheng Guogong's mansion entered. You appear to be the prince's companion, but from the eyes of everyone, you are from the Eastern Palace, not to mention that there is another person who is not suitable for you. You paid for Princess Changping, but when you arrived in Liangjiang, you were not troubled by the forces of Zheng Guogong’s government, and secondly, you escaped the assassination of Princess Changping many times, and your official career went smoothly. If the third master is really as smart as the rumors say, will he not be able to figure it out?"

A bystander can see clearly, as long as Huo Zhaowen is not caught in the trap, he can see clearly.

Zhao Chongjin has been stationed in Liangjiang for nearly three years. Although he did not rely on the influence of Zheng Guogong's mansion, he completed the private salt case independently. He is indeed very talented. Tangible and intangible give some convenience.

If he hadn't performed prominently in the private salt case, no one would doubt Zhao Chongjin until the end of his term of office. If he showed his head, he would definitely be noticed.

Zhao Chongjin asked to see the third master many times but couldn't get him. After the private salt case suddenly emerged, the third master immediately threw an olive branch. It's hard to say that he didn't notice something.

"Your Highness is wise," after being reminded, Zhao Chongjin realized that he seemed to have neglected the third master and focused on Princess Changping. "I'm ashamed of being rich."

"You and I grew up together. We are the best friends of the president, and we also have the friendship of classmates. The relationship is extraordinary. I know that you value family affection and filial piety. I don't resent that Changping was punished too lightly. It is true that Shiro is weak and sick, and there are many disasters at a young age. Difficulty, I also see it in my eyes, and feel distressed, so you are limited by personal affairs, I can understand, but remember to distinguish between public and private. You are the number one scholar, the prime minister of the city, and this king knows that you are confused for a while... Before the matter, I don't care about it, and then you have to deal with the Gan businessman's affairs."

After a hard and soft beating, Zhao Chongjin had to be more vigilant.

"Yes."

"Others don't know the identity of the third master. Chen Luowu, Ping Bodian and others who listen to his orders must know. You can ask Chen Luowu and use whatever method works. As for Ping Bodian, a dentist is suspected of human trafficking and ignores the laws of the country. , If you say kill someone, kill him, if there is no reason, let him live."

Obviously, he also took the anger of being imprisoned today on Ping Bodian, the culprit.

"This king wants to see what kind of monsters and ghosts in Liangjiang!"

***

In the flower building, someone rushed in, kicked away the oncoming bustard and rushed into an upper room, grabbed the wine bottle and poured it on Ping Bodian's face, who was drunk and dreaming, and when he woke up, he was about to get angry, Quickly told about the fact that the bodies of three tide merchants buried in the quarry were dug up by the government.

Ping Bo Dian suddenly woke up: "Who dug it out?"

"Guan Wenbin, the magistrate of Hongzhou!"

"What charter is he?"

"I put up a notice to arrest the real culprit. In the morning, I tore up the notice saying that I have caught him. He is a Beishang murderer. But in the afternoon, I let him go."

"Huh?" Pingbo Dianzhanger was puzzled: "Is Guan Wenbin's homicide case just for fun?"

"I was also confused, so I came to tell you."

Ping Bo Dian: "Find someone to spend some money to explore the way, wait and see before acting."

"Yes."

***

Flying Pigeon sent Kang Wang's reply within five days after passing the letter. After reading the reply, Huo Zhaowen sneered and ordered Yan Duwei to come over.

"In the name of imperial envoy, send him to Guan Wenbin."

Yan Duwei sent the letter to the prefect's yamen in Hongzhou without asking why.

***

Two days ago, after taking the money from the tooth dealer, Guan Wenbin was trying to find a few gangsters from the prison who had carried the murder of the tide merchant. At this time, he received the letter and wondered why the teacher who had not been in touch for 800 years came to the letter.

Could it be that the savior who arrested the teacher last time turned around and filed a complaint, so this is Xingshi's accusation?

Guan Wenbin opened the letter in fear, and after a long mental struggle, he finally read it. His eyes widened and his excitement was beyond words. After reading the letter, he was ecstatic.

"Times come and go! It's really a turn of the day! Even God can't see that my talent has not been buried. He wants to give me a great opportunity to make contributions. If I don't seize it, I will live up to God's kindness."

Seeing this, the master asked him suspiciously where the joy came from.

Guan Wenbin pointed to the letter and said: "It was the Beishang who was captured a few days ago, a true chivalrous man, not to see someone die in vain, let alone poor Yang's wronged Mo Xue, so he made Chaoshang's murder and Yang's wronged Talk about two things and listen to your teacher. My teacher owed someone his life-saving grace, so he naturally wanted to repay the favor, so he promised that if I solved the two cases, he would recommend me a position as a comfort envoy in Guangdong! What's more interesting is that the Northern Shang Dynasty and the imperial envoy I also have a little friendship, and I also asked the imperial envoy."

"Hey." Guan Wenbin sighed, "I was escorted by a mentor before and escorted by an imperial envoy later, so I'm still afraid of a bird? So what if Tang Shoutian was punished in the same province? So what if he was one level older than my official? And Princess Changping Mingming She was demoted to Liangjiang, and it is still unknown whether she can return to the capital. What is she doing in front of me as a sinner? Pooh!"

Guan Wenbin folded the letter paper like a baby and hid it in his arms. Guan Wenbin was very happy.

The master said worriedly: "Your Excellency, don't you think it's weird? That lowly businessman surnamed Zheng, who is also the prince's benefactor, has some friendship with the imperial envoy, and happens to be very concerned about the two murder cases, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Guan Wenbin, who had already been dazzled by the official position after being appeased by Guangdong, didn't find it strange, but felt that the master's words were too harsh. He said unhappily: "Do you know how to be an official or I know how to be an official? Don't I know that this is an officialdom?" The trade-offs here? I didn’t know I was being used? But the government tells you that only those who can be used prove their worth.”

"The imperial envoy made it clear. He wanted to take advantage of Yang's case to rectify the officialdom in Liangjiang and pull some people off. Do you know who was among the people who were pulled off? The former Jiangxi criminal envoy, and now the Guangdong appeasement envoy, he was wrongly sentenced. The chief culprit of the Yanjing case in Jizhou! Let him fall, remove his official position, isn't the vacant position mine?"

Guan Wenbin rolled his eyes at Master, only to think that Master was extremely dull.

"Hurry up and put up a notice, saying that the government will re-investigate the case of the murder of the tide merchant, and the unjust case of Yanjing in Jizhou. If anyone can provide clues, there will be a lot of rewards."

Guan Wenbin snorted, it was a matter of his own interests, but he was a lot smarter: "Tell people to keep an eye on Pingbo Dian, and show courtesy for nothing. Two days ago, I gave a box of silver, hinting not to investigate the murder case of a tide merchant, it is clearly related !"

He turned around and ordered: "Tell people to watch him, find the opportunity to place orders, and handcuff them all back!"

***

The people sent by Pingbo Dian went to the Yamen to question why Guan Wenbin had collected the money and pursued the Chaoshang murder case with great fanfare, but was pushed back by the Yamen servants in a few words.

"The yamen servant also said that my boss, you are so concerned about the case, could it be that you are the murderer?"

"Absurd!" Ping Bodian's heart beat fast, and he stood up abruptly, "Has Guan Wenbin lost his mind? He has eaten a lot of money over the years, pretending to be deaf and dumb, thinking that he doesn't know anything? Check, the matter of the traffickers cannot be concealed, and he also has a part in assisting us in changing the good status to the low status, and he can't hide it!"

Pingbo Dian calmed down after scolding, and his intuition was not right: "Guan Wenbin is not so courageous? Could it be that the imperial envoy ordered it? But the imperial envoy will also be charged with being unfavorable when investigating the case."

The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and Ping Bodian said, "No, I have to ask Guan Wenbin myself."

After saying that, he picked a time in the dead of night to set off to visit the magistrate, and Guan Wenbin was waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.

***

As soon as a person enters the mansion, the door is closed, the torches are lit instantly, and the yamen servants surround him, they grab Ping Bodian and throw him into the firewood room, where the experienced guards in the prison torture him overnight.

Although Pingbo Dian was ruthless and vicious, he had actually enjoyed a rich life for more than ten years, and he couldn't stand the torture in the prison at all, so he was recruited within an hour and a half.

"Yes...it was the tide merchant I killed."

Guan Wenbin was overjoyed, pushed aside the yamen servant and asked, "Why do you want to kill someone?"

Ping Bodian was covered in wounds, and looked up at Guan Wenbin as he was dying: "You talk too much, and you said things you shouldn't have said..."

Guan Wenbin: "You just said a few more words, and you killed them ruthlessly? I think it's because you are used to killing people, so you dare to disregard the court, the government, and the laws of the country. You really should kill them soon! Submit your case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and behead you in public to let the people in the mansion know that this mansion is also a great upright official who eradicates rape and evil."

Ping Bodian smiled sarcastically, "Do you think you can continue to be an official comfortably after the trial of my case?"

Guan Wenbin: "This government is telling you, this government is not scaring you. Do you really think that I don't know about your tooth shop's activities? You have been deceived and abducted, and you have harmed countless people. It is time to clean up!"

After a pause, he asked again, "Why were the bodies buried near the quarry?"

Ping Bo Dian was taken aback, and heard Guan Wenbin's persuasive words: "But there is something shady about the quarry?" He couldn't help laughing, and the yamen servant instructed by Guan Wenbin hit his abdomen with a stick, and vomited a big mouthful of blood.

What a magistrate of Hongzhou, a good dog who eats inside and out!

Over the years, he has eaten some from the merchants of Ganxi and another from Princess Changping, but no one has fed him enough. On the contrary, he wanted to catch a case and fight against both sides. It's his fault that he didn't see Guan Wenbin's ambition. and guts.

Ping Bo Dian only put his hostility on Zhao Baiyu and the imperial envoy, and never thought that the timid and obedient Guan Wenbin would bite back, and it was a fatal bite.

"Naturally, it has something to do with the quarry. Chaozhou merchants will be silenced if they reveal the secrets of hiding people in the quarry and traffickers." Guan Wenbin lost his mind and suddenly wanted to be an upright official. Ping Bodian knew he would be targeted At present, only by pulling more people into the water can he save his life. "I'm a businessman. If there is no one to back me up, how dare I kill others casually?"

Guan Wenbin believed Ping Bodian's words.

He served as the magistrate of Hongzhou for about five years. He flattered the merchants of Gan, Princess Changping, and Shangchai. Man, as long as he doesn't go too far, he can turn a blind eye.

It's just that she didn't expect that the eldest princess of the dynasty would protect a group of low-level businesses and sell the people of the big scene, it was really insane.

Knowing Changping's character, knowing his cruelty and evil intentions, Guan Wenbin was horrified, and was in a dilemma for a while.

"My lord?" The master approached and asked, "Are you still tortured?"

Guan Wenbin: "The confession is first drawn and charged, and the person is locked up. Let the government think about it."

After saying that, he left the firewood room and paced back and forth in the front hall.

On the one hand, there are senior officials of the second and third ranks, who have been a blessing for nine generations, and on the other hand, they are exposing that Jiangxi merchants and Princess Changping have joined forces to sell their lovers and murder them for money.

My life is gone, so what kind of official should I be?

Thinking of this, Guan Wenbin wanted to back down and stop here.

Just at this moment, someone came to report that it was Zheng Beishang seeking an interview outside. The upset Guan Wenbin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, this person had a special status and might be able to help him out of his current predicament.

"Invite people in."

As soon as Huo Zhaowen came in, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Guan, for capturing the real culprit. Once the big case is solved, it will be just around the corner to be promoted."

Guan Wenbin stopped him and asked, "Brother Zheng, I asked you how serious the case is before I can be promoted?"

Huo Zhaowen: "According to common sense, the promotion and title must have outstanding achievements in order to stand out from the crowd of court officials. If you want to jump four or five levels in a row, I'm afraid you have to solve a big case."

"A big case that splashes the sky... What is the level of a big case that hits the sky?"

Huo Zhaowen thought for a while: "At least it must be like the Liangjiang scientific examination fraud or the Huainan case last year."

Guan Wenbin immediately chose to give up, but he was still nostalgic for the position of Guangdong comfort envoy.

"Jiangxi Cao Si envoy Zhao Baiyu was involved in two major cases last year, and later made extraordinary achievements in the tax department. Only then did he have the opportunity to be promoted to a third-rank official. Otherwise, how would he convince the public? Officialdom has always been like this. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don’t seize the opportunity when it is in front of you, it may be difficult to think of a great opportunity to make contributions in the future.”

Guan Wenbin was so persuaded that he couldn't bear it, and unconsciously expressed his troubles.

"There are imperial envoys and King Kang behind you, which means that His Majesty is behind you. Why can't you give it a go? If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub? Which person with a long history has done something that is not earth-shattering?"

"Famous, famous left in history?"

"If Mr. Guan can solve a case that is bigger than the Huainan case, why not be ranked among the Sangongs, enter the Zhaoxun Pavilion, and leave your name in Qing history, and your name of Qingtian will be praised for generations to come."

If Zhao Baiyu was present, he would definitely praise Huo Zhaowen as a mature leader who is good at drawing cakes. The round, big and hot cakes are placed in front of Guan Wenbin. A cautious thought that prevails.

"That's right, you're right."

Guan Wenbin rubbed his hands and said, "I'm going to send someone to catch that old dog next to Princess Changping."

Huo Zhaowen: "Li Deshou is a master of martial arts. I'm afraid he won't be able to catch him. Instead, he would startle the snake. Why don't we send someone to catch the female official next to Princess Changping?"

Guan Wenbin was afraid when he thought of Li Deshou's elusive presence, so he nodded repeatedly: "Listen to you."

But when people went to work, the team leader looked embarrassed: "My lord, we are short of manpower, and we are all assigned to arrest people to investigate the case..."

"Idiot, just call them back!"

Huo Zhaowen: "I have some manpower here, if your lord doesn't dislike it, just ask."

Guan Wenbin: "Okay, I will remember you. When you go to Guangdong in the future, it will be convenient for you."

Huo Zhaowen: "Thank you, sir."

Guan Wenbin patted his head and said: "Since you have offended someone, you should offend him to the death. Go, go to the prison and ask for the evidence of Mrs. Yang, and immediately report to the imperial envoy when you get the evidence."

***

The hidden guard brought Zhao Baiyu's words, "Guan Wenbin will go to the prison to ask the truth about the case if he wants to handle the case. At that time, you will answer truthfully."

Yang nodded.

Sensing the sound of footsteps from far to near, the dark guard immediately hid himself.Not long after, Guan Wenbin brought several yamen servants into the prison, and brought Mrs. Yang to him for questioning.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to pry her mouth open, but I didn't expect Yang to open her mouth as soon as she expressed her intention.

"It's strange." Guan Wenbin couldn't help asking: "In the court before, the government asked you where the grievance came from, and you kept your mouth shut. Why are you willing to tell me when I ask you now?"

Yang is neither humble nor overbearing: "When the adults sincerely avenge the grievances of the women, the women will naturally speak up."

Guan Wenbin slandered, and did not seek to humiliate herself, so she hurriedly elaborated on her grievances.

A piece of evidence that clearly explained the ins and outs was freshly released, and Guan Wenbin suddenly regretted that he offered to kill Fang Xingwen before, otherwise he would be able to sit on the unjust case.

Putting Yang's confession and He Bodian's confession together, and brought it to the front hall, Guan Wenbin said to Huo Zhaowen who was waiting: "Look, it's effortless."

Huo Zhaowen: "Can I take a look?"

Guan Wenbin was not stingy, so he showed it to him directly.

Huo Zhaowen read the evidence at a glance, and his expression was terribly gloomy. It turned out that the two rivers he had seen before were just the tip of the iceberg. It turned out that Changping was afraid that the corpses of tide merchants would be implicated in the quarry because she was also involved in the trader's activities.

Guan Wenbin asked: "Is it enough to solve the big case?"

Huo Zhaowen: "Enough."

Guan Wenbin: "Is it bigger than the Jiangnan scientific examination fraud and the Huainan case?"

Huo Zhaowen returned the testimony: "It is a heinous case."

"Come on, prepare your horse!" Guan Wenbin said happily, "I want to meet the imperial envoy in person."

***

When Guan Wenbin was about to meet the imperial envoy, Huo Zhaowen applauded twice, and a hidden guard appeared beside him.

"Take my official defense seal letter and go to Jingbei to transfer troops, and hurry to Hongzhou, and follow me to eradicate rape and evil! If you don't disturb Changping, capture the female officer beside her!"

Dark Guard: "Take orders!"

***

Huo Zhaowen's order was transmitted to Zhao Chongjin and Yan Duwei. Zhao Chongjin took the lead and said: "I can't stand the bumpy journey, and my riding skills are not as good as Yan Duwei, so Yan Duwei will dispatch troops, and I will deal with Changping. How about the female officer beside you?"

Yan Duwei had no objection: "Yes."

After saying that, they acted separately, and the sky will be dark at this time.

Before Zhao Chongjin's bodyguard arrested him, he went to Cao Sishi's mansion first. When he didn't see Zhao Baiyu, he said to Yan Bing who came to open the door: "Let's go to Xianju. The biggest evidence of the collusion between Liangjiang officials and businessmen is hidden there."

After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Yan Bing's response.

Zhao Chongjin had already figured out the itinerary of the female official, and would go to the quarry every five days to check the situation, go when it was time, and return when it was time, so he brought his guards to lie in ambush on the way the female official must pass.

***

At the beginning of Shen Shi, the sun was shining, and the sun was shining brightly. A carriage was slowly driving along Jungle Avenue. In the carriage was the female officer next to Princess Changping. At this time, she was concentrating on checking the account books of the quarry.

The carriage suddenly bumped, the female officer frowned, and before she could ask any questions, she heard the neighing of the steed, the groom yelled loudly, and suddenly ran wildly, the next moment the horse turned over, and the female officer fell off unexpectedly, her breastbone hit the window frame of the carriage, causing her pain Produces momentary fainting.

After adapting to the pain, the female officer came back to her senses, first grabbed the ledger, then turned to look at the groom, and saw three unrepentant corpses.

A groom, and two dead soldiers to protect her.

The female officer's heart was cold, and she immediately crawled in the opposite direction regardless of her painful breastbone. She staggered a few steps and suddenly stopped. A pair of soap boots appeared in front of her eyes. She slowly raised her eyes, her pupils constricted: "Zhao Chongjin?"

Zhao Chongjin stepped forward in two steps, suddenly got into trouble, and kicked the female officer's abdomen, only heard a very slight clicking sound, and the ribs that had been hit one after another were broken.

The female officer struggled to get up, and glared at Zhao Chongjin fiercely: "You dare to touch me! I am the female official close to Princess Changping. You Zhao family dare to retaliate for selfishness, are you not afraid of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty's punishment?"

With his hands behind his back, he secretly tore up the more critical records in the account book, kneaded them into balls, and threw them into his mouth. Zhao Chongjin quickly removed her chin, took out the paper and the account book in her hand, and handed them to the guards beside him .

"Your Highness was relegated to Liangjiang and suffered a lot, which is enough to offset the grievances of the past. If you dare to attack me now, it means that the Zhao family will not care about the face of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and insist on murdering the eldest princess of Dajing. ! Your Zhao family can’t afford it!”

"The grievances are wiped out?" Zhao Chongjin lowered his voice and stared at the female officer: "20 years ago, that bitch in Changping stole the dragon and turned the dragon into a phoenix, playing a trick of exchanging a civet cat for the prince—"

The female officer's expression was stiff and her pupils constricted.

Zhao Chongjin tried his best to suppress the extreme anger and hostility, and said word by word: "You tell me now that the grievance has been settled? When you are all defeated, come and talk to my mother and our Zhao family to cancel it!"

duh!

A branch injected with internal force suddenly brushed Zhao Chongjin's cheek. Although the guard's reaction was quick, they still couldn't stop the sharp branch from piercing into the female officer's shoulder, causing her to faint on the spot.

"who?"

The guards, all of whom were from the emperor's guards, were also highly skilled in martial arts, and two or three of them immediately chased them out.When I came back half a quarter of an hour later, I said that the attacker was Li Deshou, but he ran away.

Zhao Chongjin wiped off the bloodshot cheeks expressionlessly, "It's okay, let the old dog go back and inform Changping, so that she can feel the end of the road."

After confirming that the female officer is not dead, Zhao Chongjin said: "Send her to a doctor. Just keep her breath, as long as she can talk."

***

On the other hand, there was no news of Ping Bodian once he entered the yamen, and the subordinates were anxious, so they came to Chen Luowu to explain the whole story.

Chen Luowu stared at the stars for a moment, fell down on the chair, and couldn't help asking: "Doesn't he know what the current situation in Liangjiang is? He wants to kill people at this time? Is he crazy?"

Ping Bo Dian is arrogant, impulsive, living people are like animals in his hands, it has become a habit to disregard human lives, but Chen Luowu thought that he would at least take care of the overall situation.

"Even if Zhao Baiyu knows from Chaozhou merchants that the tooth shop is a trafficker's business, so what? You have a cheap registration issued by the government, and you have a certificate in hand. Are you afraid that someone who has no soldiers and no rights will come to investigate? Kill People, attracting the attention of the imperial envoy is the root of the disaster!"

However, it's too late to say anything now, even if you can't get Ping Bo Dian, you have to stop the loss in time, so as not to teach him to hurt yourself.

"Take my greeting card and go to the post station thirty miles away from Hongzhou Mansion to see the Commander-in-Chief, Tang Tixing—and the Shipping Department will also send someone to say something."

Chen Luowu was so anxious that he wanted to find the third master at this time, but time was too tight, so we should deal with Guan Wenbin first and then talk about other things.

After finishing the order, Chen Luowu hurriedly prepared his horse and went to the magistrate's yamen.

***

At the same time, the Princess Mansion.

Changping's fish feed jade bowl fell to the ground. Looking back at Li Deshou, who had been reporting, his tone revealed a hint of disbelief: "Guan Wenbin arrested Ping Bodian, and asked about the evidence of the tooth dealer and the unjust case of Yanjing in Jizhou?"

Li Deshou turned to the side, revealing the figure of the master next to Guan Wenbin.

The master didn't dare to look up at Changping, stared at his toes and said respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, Mr. Guan has obtained the evidence and is going to sue the imperial envoy. Then Ping Bodian also reported on the quarry, and Mr. Guan ordered Li to be arrested. Also, if you still scold Li, you know it's...an old dog, scold His Highness for not knowing good and bad."

Li Deshou kicked the pebbles at his feet, and a piece of debris splashed and scratched the master's cheek, scaring him to his knees and begging for mercy.

"It wasn't me who said it, it was Guan Wenbin! Guan Wenbin's dog is relying on others!"

Chang Ping: "Where did he get the power? An imperial envoy? He is just an imperial envoy who patrols the sky. How dare he risk offending Liangjiang's official circles to help him?"

"The imperial envoy promised to leave the post of Guangdong Transit Envoy to Guan Wenbin."

"Second-rank officer? Power touches people's hearts, no wonder."

At this time, Li Deshou informed Changping about the arrest of the female officer by Zhao Chongjin, and said: "The people who follow him are very skilled, they should be the emperor's guards."

"Tianzi Jinwei? Zhao Chongjin?" Changping curled up his right hand and lightly hammered it down on the small table. Get together and kill the donkey! The imperial envoy... Hahaha... The imperial envoy is the orphan's nephew! The Eastern Palace is still in the Kyoto prefecture, and Huainan was only cleaned up. It is impossible to send the fifth child here. Among the remaining people, only the younger brother six!"

Li Deshou frowned: "Zhao Chongjin belongs to the Sixth Prince?"

Changping: "Zhao Chongjin is from the Zhao family, and he is also the youngest champion since his father. With such a family background and such talent, he will never be easily driven by others. The imperial envoy made it clear that he came for Liangjiang's officialdom. It is a big case and a burial. Hey, Zhao Chongjin has no right and no name to be a teacher, if he really brought down Liangjiang, the credit can't be credited to him, so why bother to serve as an imperial envoy?"

"Unless... from the merits of the dragon? It turns out that the Zhao family chose the sixth prince!" Li Deshou cupped his hands and said, "Waiting for the old slave to go and take the heads of Guan Wenbin and Zhao Chongjin, and come back to apologize to His Highness."

"No, I don't need to take action. You have other important matters," Changping took two steps forward, staring at Li Deshou and said, "Go and help me with one thing."
