Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 670 Next is the time to get rich overnight!

"The thick general's guild is completely over..."

At the door of Ye's house, Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi stood face to face.

Between the two of them was the official messenger who was still coming in and out, busy arresting people.

Around the two of them, there were burning torches, and the flickering flames illuminated the contours of their faces, flickering and dimming.

The warmth of the flames couldn't dispel the chill.

The key is not the body, but the mind.

After a little silence, Zhao Tingzhi spoke first: "This chamber of commerce has done a lot of evil, and Ye Jichang and Pan's should be punished according to the law, but it shouldn't be investigated by the Imperial City Division."

Wu Juhou sighed: "What's the use of talking about it now? Gao Qiu was originally a jester with no qualifications. After this case, his position is really stable. It will take a lot of money for Yushitai to impeach him. Zhou Zhang!"

Zhao Tingzhi said: "Gao Qiu was born in the market and has not been educated by sages. Since he served as the Imperial City Secretary, he has been harsh on the people, corrupted the law, and recently changed his normal behavior. , harbor evil intentions."

Wu Juhou sneered: "If every official is like Gao Qiu tonight, isn't it the honesty and integrity that Yushi hopes for? Zhao Zhongcheng's evaluation is full of speculations, so it can't stand!"

Zhao Tingzhi shook his head: "When discussing people, we should look at his own heart. How many courtiers in the court do not know Gao Qi's behavior? It is this courtier who can always suppress evil thoughts in his heart, pretend to be good, and is good at framing slander and committing crimes because of words. The Imperial City Secretary who is responsible for the matter must not take power."

"Not bad!"

Although Wu Juhou hated Zhao Tingzhi, he still strongly agreed with this concept.

According to the complicated and overstaffed bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, any official would be constrained by layers of constraints, except that the Imperial City Division was a special institution directly under the government.

Just imagine that if the Imperial City Division made continuous contributions, the criminal powers of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Government Office, which had been divided into pieces, would be divided again, and the function of Yushitai to supervise the officials would also be greatly reduced. The points are thin.

So don't say that Gao Li is not a good person, even if he is a loyal minister who reads sage books, he cannot be allowed to destroy the existing power structure and cause more intense conflicts.

Seeing that Wu Juhou's hostility had subsided a bit, Zhao Tingzhi said immediately, "From my point of view, Gao Qiu probably obtained this list a long time ago, and kept it secret all the time. We will reveal it to the public when we come here."

Wu Juhou also deeply agrees: "Such actions can not only hurt our face, but also make the subsequent impeachment turn into personal hatred and cunning."

Zhao Tingzhi said: "Mr. Dun, this matter is very important, we will work together."

Mr. Dun is Wu Juhou's name. This long-lost address made the Kaifeng prefect faintly touched. He and Zhao Tingzhi are both members of the new party, and they once fought side by side to change the world.

And no matter how to compete for the position of prime minister, it is a contradiction within the scholar-officials. Once a warrior comes forward, they should unanimously say to the outside: "If you don't say that, the old man knows the righteousness. Look at that person..."

Zhao Tingzhi followed his gaze: "Ding Run, the magistrate of the Kaifeng government office?"

Wu Juhou said indifferently: "This Ding Run was originally from the Imperial City Department's business, and now he hit it off with Gao Qiu, and he is his right-hand man. He has helped a lot in this case. If he loses this arm, the rise of the Imperial City Department can be curbed."

Zhao Tingzhi said: "Is there evidence of guilt revealed?"

Wu Ju said kindly: "This person is corrupt and perverts the law. He has many misconducts. With the power of Yushitai, he should be eliminated."

Zhao Tingzhi fell silent.

Wu Juhou knew that the other party saw that he was killing people with a knife, and began to add fuel to the fire: "This man is also from the same family as Gongsun Zhao. Gongsun Zhao forced Ren Gong to vomit blood and died. His son was beaten to death by the people to justify his name. It can be seen in the hearts of the world. He only knows Xiaoli, but doesn't distinguish between loyalty and goodness. Gao Qi now has the reputation of Qingtian, but he is no better than Gongsun Zhao..."

Zhao Tingzhi's brows twitched.

Indeed, Gao Qi and Gongsun Zhao are very different.

Gao Lian is an old minister of the government's hidden residence, and he was able to mention the Imperial City Secretary even without seniority, just because of the trust of the government, and now he is out of control.

Gongsun Zhao was the judge for eight years, and no one liked him. Even the Queen Mother who had supported him showed obvious dislike.

So Gongsun Yanluo was on the most wanted list for a short time, but Gao Qingtian may continue to pretend to be a traitor.

Zhao Tingzhi took a deep look at Ding Run, and after looking away, he cupped his hands at Wu Juhou: "It's my responsibility to be the censor for prosecuting officials and suppressing discipline! Farewell!"

Wu Juhou returned the gift: "Send Zhao Zhongcheng!"

Zhao Tingzhi turned around and got into the carriage first, Wu Juhou waited for a while before boarding the carriage and ordered his servants to ride away.

After watching them leave, two figures, one big and one small, came out.

Thinking of Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi's working ability, Li Yan sighed with emotion: "It's not surprising that treacherous ministers do bad things. It's the tragedy of the world that capable ministers spend their days fighting dogs and scheming and fighting!"

Shishi poked his head out behind him: "Grand officials, are they really going to embarrass Judge Ding? Why did the official who left behind talk more and more silk threads, especially a thick silk thread, became better?" Red is so red..."

Li Yandao: "I can't see those threads in your eyes, but to put it simply, you don't know right from wrong, and you're going to kill yourself."

"To put it more complicatedly, the problem is not just these two, but an environment where the civil and military are extremely unbalanced, which makes the scholar-bureaucrats who are used to superiority instinctively question and reject other groups."

"Once they determine the sex of a person, it is not true, because this group of people has huge social resources, and they also have a pen. They take care of everything material and spiritual. This is an extremely terrible monopoly. A moral scholar-bureaucrat can now speak for himself.”

Shishi didn't understand, but wrote it down, and murmured: "But Gao Tidian and Judge Ding are good people, they catch bad people!"

Li Yan sighed: "It's a pity that many people don't even understand the simplest truth, or don't want to understand... Forget it, don't talk about these things, come and get rich with me, okay?"

Seeing this rare excited expression, Shishi also looked forward to it: "Okay, ah!"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth raised, and he gave some detailed instructions, and finally concluded: "Next, it's time to witness the overnight success!"

……

"Well!"

The Shaodong family suddenly woke up, seeing the thin wire connected to the iron door on the little finger still glowing with fluorescence, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This proves that not only no one has come in, but no one has even been near the iron gate.

He was really tired just now, after finishing this small arrangement, he returned to the edge of the formation, and fell asleep as soon as he leaned his head against the statue of King Ming.

I don't know how long I slept, what time it is now, the key is when Zhang Qing and Xu Ning will come back...

The Shaodong family knows that these two still have some small feelings towards him. After all, the family has not made any money, so it is difficult to give up their hearts, but to wash away the guilt of breaking out of prison, it is not the level of injustice before. They really despise the court laws, so they can only come to him .

So he wasn't worried that Zhang Qing and Xu Ning would turn against others, but he was worried about failure.

It's a pity that it's useless to worry now, we can only wait.

Time began to pass slowly.

At first, the Young Master still had time to care about the treasures around him and estimate the value. He soon realized that the total price of the treasures in this treasury was probably more than six million coins. Of course, it was impossible to exceed too much. A jaw-droppingly large amount of wealth.

Then he lost interest in treasure and wanted to find something else to pass the time.

However, this place is not like the Huangcheng Prison, not only the space becomes cramped and depressing due to the accumulation of treasures, but also there are no jailers to please, prisoners who come and go, bold brothers, and even the little cook who is far less lovable than her brothers nothing.

There is only himself here.

"It's so hard! It's so hard!"

"Give me something to eat... and the toilet..."

"It would be great if my incarnation wasn't beheaded by 'Sa Ming'!"

……

I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's only an hour or two, but the Young Master couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and paced around, his face was ugly.

He had realized that he had somehow managed to escape from one prison and then slipped headlong into another.

The point is that it is too difficult here. He originally thought that it would not be a problem to wait for a few days in the vault after being locked up in the Imperial City Department for more than ten days, but now it may not even arrive for half a day, just like ants on a hot pot, wandering around The statue of King Ming started to move around, but he didn't dare to leave this area, and just turned around in circles.

Finally, the Shaodong family stopped.

For nothing else, hungry.

In the cell of Huangcheng Division, he had a food delivery box provided by Fan Lou. At first, the smell of the cell was too strong, and he lost his appetite after eating a few chopsticks. Later, he got used to the smell.

But now there is no food in this treasury cell, but at the nearest meal, because the pastry was poisoned, he directly asked the little chef to take away the food box, and so many things happened afterwards, The consumption is serious, and naturally exhaustion and hunger are unavoidable.

Fatigue can be eliminated through sleep, but hunger causes the stomach to growl.

"Damn it, don't talk about spending a while here. If Zhang Qing and Xu Ning don't come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to last for two or three days. Could it be that I just went out in such a dispirited manner?"

"No, it's a dead word to go out, just activate the formation, no one can expect to get this huge fortune..."

"But dying in this unknown place, I am not reconciled, really not reconciled! Zhang Qing, Xu Ning, you must return safely! King Ming bless... no, Buddha bless you!"

A bishop of Mingzun put his palms together and begged the Buddha to bless him, which shows what he has been forced into.

After praying to the gods and Buddhas, the Shaodong family, who was extremely bored, leaned on the statue of King Ming, and fell asleep again in a daze.

This time his sleep was awakened by the trembling of filaments.

Looking at the fluctuation that represented the appearance of someone, the Young Master's family was ecstatic at first, then became vigilant, and there was even more determination in his eyes.

If it was Zhang Qing and Xu Ning who came, then needless to say, his plan was almost successful.

If it was Ye Jichang and Pan's arrival, Zhang Qing and Xu Ning would have been in danger. As long as the other party crossed the warning line, he would activate the flame destroying array without hesitation.

During the unbearable waiting, the visitor came to the iron gate, gently pushed open a gap, a small head poked halfway in, glanced at it, and quickly shrank back.
