Need for a Guard

"What? This case has... something to do with Liu Dianzhong?"

Zeng Shan originally thought that the case was flawless, and after so long, the clues that should be broken have been broken, the damned people are dead, and the truth can be buried in the ground, but he did not expect that Liu Dianzhong was finally found Come.

But Zeng Shan is a senior official after all, and his voice has the bearing of a senior official. He just panicked for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression, and asked with a caring look: "Oh? Deputy Shi and Commander Kang, so there are really new ones." Clues, that would be great, as I said earlier, Zhou Yuqing is an upright official, definitely not a corrupt official, there must be something strange in this case."

Bai Mochou leaned over and snorted disdainfully, "Who said that Zhou Yuqing was a corrupt official just now? It seems to be Mr. Zeng, right? Now Mr. Zeng says Zhou Yuqing is an honest official? What's the matter? I don't understand, Zeng Shan, you are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, why don’t you have a good mouth? Do you think you are farting? Just let out a bad smell and it’s over? You are a second-rank official, you have to be responsible for your words and deeds. You are still the number one scholar, and you don’t even check this basic virtue, so be careful if you are a rogue and join you.”

"Bai Yushi, you...you don't want to talk nonsense here."

Zeng Shan did say that just now, Bai Mochou grabbed his painful foot, and all the officials heard it for real, he really couldn't deny it, he said embarrassingly, "His face was blushing.

Bai Mochou chuckled, "Whether it's this rascal talking nonsense, or you Zeng Shan talking nonsense, the ministers can make their own judgments, so there's no need to say anything."

"you……"

Zeng Shan wanted to quarrel with Bai Mochou, but seeing Shi Yue and Kang Shanzhen turned around and wanted to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and enthusiastically said: "Commander Kang, Deputy Envoy Shi, where are you going?"

Kang Shanzhen said: "Go back to the mansion to discuss Zhou Yuqing's case. If we have a clue, we must continue to investigate."

Zeng Shan hastily smiled happily: "Well, this matter cannot be sloppy at all. I used to be Zhou Yuqing's immediate boss, so naturally I have a duty to discuss it with you. Let's go, I will also sit at the mansion to discuss this case. Little power."

"Haha, old man Zeng, why are you so arrogant and respectful?"

Bai Mochou laughed hard, "Just now you were putting the blame in every possible way, and now you're putting your face on someone's cold ass, hehe...Old man Zeng, you really have a bad taste."

The ministers also laughed, although Zeng Shan was embarrassed, but the matter was of great importance, much more important than his face, so he had to show his favor to Kang Shanzhen again.

Kang Shanzhen smiled indifferently: "Isn't there a guest in Zeng Shangshu's house who tastes tea? In Zhou Yuqing's case, how can Zeng Shangshu taste tea? I accept Zeng Shangshu's wishes, but I don't want to bother Mr. Zeng. I don't care about this matter." Discuss with Vice Envoy Shi alone."

"Hey, don't!"

Zeng Shan hurriedly said: "I made a slip of the tongue just now! Don't blame Commander Kang and Deputy Envoy Shi. Drinking tea is a small matter, but investigating a case is a major matter. How can we put the cart before the horse? What's more, Zhou Yuqing is still my capable subordinate. If the subordinate is wronged, I will How can you stand by and watch?"

"Well, since Zeng Shangshu has this conscience, please come with me." Kang Shan was really proud, winked at Shi Yue, got on the sedan chair, and went back home.

**********

"Commander Kang, how could Zhou Yuqing's case be connected with Liu Dianzhong? Liu Dianzhong is from the capital, so why would he do a case in Pingzhou? Is there something tricky about this? I think this is a bit strange."

In Kang's study, Peng Wu came over to serve tea. Zeng Shan was not in the mood to drink tea, so he couldn't wait to ask about it. He was eager to find out how far Kang Shanzhen had investigated the case, and to confirm Liu Dianzhong's crime. However, I still firmly doubt Liu Dianzhong.

If Liu Dianzhong's crime was confirmed, it would be too bad, and he would definitely be implicated. If he was in the stage of suspicion, there was still room for tact.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Dianzhong has disappeared. If he can't be found, this case is still a case without a head-hey, if I knew it, I would have killed Liu Dianzhong.

Of course Kang Shanzhen understood what Zeng Shan was thinking, and said: "Your Excellency Zeng didn't know that Liu Dianzhong had indeed done salt and iron business in Pingzhou before, and his way was relatively wild. He was involved in all three religions and nine streams, and his influence was very powerful. Until later, Only then did he migrate to the capital, and after he was laundered, he became the president of the No. [-] chamber of commerce in the capital."

"Oh, so that's the case." Zeng Shan asked tentatively again: "Then it is confirmed that Liu Dianzhong did this case?"

"That's right." Kang Shanzhen said.

Zeng Shan's uneasy heart was finally half relieved, and he asked again: "If it's just suspicion, it's still far from solving the case."

Shi Yue said: "But this matter must be related to Liu Dianzhong, I hate that I didn't find out, otherwise I..."

Zeng Shan sneered in his heart: Fortunately, you didn't find out a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been confessed?He echoed and said: "Yes, if I knew that this case was related to Liu Dianzhong, I would have arrested Liu Dianzhong and interrogated him carefully. The truth of this case will definitely come to light."

Shi Yue looked at Zeng Shan with a smile, and said calmly: "But Shang Shu should have heard a saying: If you do many injustices, you will die. Even if Liu Dianzhong is not in the capital, it is difficult to escape the responsibility of being full of crimes."

"what?"

Zeng Shan's heart skipped a beat, the hairs all over his body relaxed, and he asked hastily, "Does Deputy Envoy Shi have Liu Dianzhong's eyebrows?"

Kang Shanzhen said: "Heaven pays off, I don't hide from Zeng Shangshu, Liu Dianzhong left the capital, but returned to Pingzhou, just happened to be discovered by one of my old ministers, and he was immediately arrested..."

Finished!

Hearing Kang Shanzhen's eloquence, Zeng Shan was extremely flustered and couldn't sit still any longer, his buttocks seemed to be fitted with springs, and he jumped up with a slight swipe, and asked in a panic, "Is this really the case?"

Kang Shanzhen frowned and said, "How could I lie? But why is Shangshu Zeng so excited? Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

How could Zeng Shan sit down? He forced himself to calm down for the time being, swallowed his saliva, and said worriedly: "Master Kang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to arrest Liu Dianzhong just because he suspects him?"

Without waiting for Kang Shanzhen to speak, Shi Yue snorted, "What's the matter? Could it be that he is suspected, and you still have to let him go? Master Zeng, how can you investigate the case if you are so pedantic?"

"Yes, what Deputy Envoy Shi said makes sense."

Zeng Shan agreed casually, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and asked nervously, "Have you tried the case?"

Kang Shanzhen said: "There has been no interrogation yet. This case involves a lot. Most people don't dare to review it, because they are afraid that a series of officials will be brought in. This matter... hey... I am in a dilemma. I don't know who has the guts to dare to Take the case."

Shi Yue snorted and said, "What's so difficult to interrogate? Why don't I handle it? I'll go to Pingzhou immediately to handle the case. After my indiscriminate bombardment, I don't believe that I can't knock Liu Dianzhong's mouth open. Hmph... As long as you let me know who framed Jiaoniang's father, I will definitely peel off his skin and crush him to ashes."

Zeng Shan's body trembled violently, and he felt that the skin and flesh had been torn off by Shi Yue one by one, and he cried out loudly with a sound of pain.
