Chapter 44
Fu Sisi left the study room and walked side by side with Tian Wuruo, she didn't dare to speak just now, knowing that after Liao Ze's death, she has been out of her mind.

Tian Wuruo said: "We missed too many things."

Fu Sisi followed Tian Wuruo down the steps, and said: "Let's talk more carefully when we have time, Ah Cheng, I have to go back to the Imperial Prison first. Since Master Liao is dead, the Imperial Prison must be in chaos. Go see."

Tian Wuruo nodded and said: "Be careful in everything, if you can't do it, come into the palace."

Fu Sisi sighed, and said: "Your Majesty's sad face is still there, so you have to be careful. By the way, Eunuch Li has already entered the Yushitai. In the future, he and Lord Jiang will often enter the palace. The death of Lord Liao, Dali Temple and The trial court couldn't find out the result, so it doesn't make sense to just pass it by, so..."

"So you don't need to worry." Tian Wuruo said: "After a long time, maybe there will be clues. Now you just need to manage the prison well and step up patrolling."

Fu Sisi said goodbye and ran to the prison.

As soon as Zhuo Ran heard that Fu Sisi had returned, she ran to the imperial prison to wait. When Fu Sisi got off the carriage, she saw Zhuo Ran. She couldn't hide her smile and said, "Xiaqiu, why are you here?"

Zhuo Ran also smiled, and she said: "At first I wanted to wait for you to get settled before coming back, but I couldn't help it."

Fu Sisi took her hand, looked down and saw Zhuo Ran's waist badge, she was a little surprised, and said, "Are you the boss?"

Zhuo Ran pulled out a smile and said, "It was just an accident."

Fu Sisi smiled and said: "Xiaqiu, I knew you would be able to do it." She thought for a while and said, "Eh? Do you know about Mr. Liao?"

Zhuo Ran blinked her eyes, with a slightly frightened expression on her face, she said: "I only know that he died a miserable death, his fingers were broken off, and his limbs were dismembered."

Fu Sisi couldn't help sighing, and said, "Who is so cruel?"

"None of them were found." Zhuo Ran said, "The 65 guards who watched the prison died that night, so there is no way to investigate."

Fu Sisi sighed, and said: "Forget it, leave these matters to Dali Temple and the Court of Justice."

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes, and she raised her head with an unknown smile, she said: "Sister Fu will be the jailer from now on."

Fu Sisi couldn't understand Zhuo Ran's expression, but she didn't think too much about it. She thought Zhuo Ran was just tired, so she dragged her into the jail, and said as she walked, "You wait for me here, I'll go in and take care of it." I will come to you."

Zhuo Ran nodded with a smile.

Fu Sisi stepped into the room, and the room was full of people kneeling. These people were originally from the prison. During the criminal trial, they were all sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. People have favors from time to time, and now that Fu Sisi is in charge of the imperial prison, basically no one has any objections.

Fu Sisi took the badge, and said in a deep voice: "This prison obeys His Majesty's decree, and assumes the post of prison supervisor. From now on, we will keep records in the morning and evening, and record things. No mistakes are allowed. If anyone dares to violate the prison order, he will be punished immediately. Arrested and imprisoned, there will be no mercy!"

"Follow the prison orders."

Fu Sisi held the badge in her hand and said, "Get up."

"Master Prisoner." The visitor lowered his head, brought the dossier in front of Fu Sisi, and said, "My lord, this is the most recent dossier, and the rest have been sealed."

Fu Sisi nodded, she looked down at that person, and said, "Are you a new transfer? What's your name?"

"In the words of my lord, Luo Ling is a humble job." Luo Ling raised his head, and Fu Sisi smiled at her appearance, and said, "Finally, a good-looking woman has come. You can follow me in the future."

Luo Ling bowed and said, "Thank you, Sir Si Ye."

Fu Sisi gave some more instructions, and took Luo Ling to see Zhuo Ran.

"Xiaqiu." Fu Sisi poured a cup of tea and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head, she looked at Luo Ling and said, "This is...?"

Fu Sisi said: "The new one is Luo Ling. I saw that she was the only one who can work in the prison, so I wanted her to follow me."

Luo Ling's etiquette was in place, she lowered her head and said, "I've seen Zhuo Siye in my humble position."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "You're so polite."

Fu Sisi looked around and said, "This is not a good place to talk, let's go outside. Luo Ling, do you want to go with us?"

Luo Ling shook his head, and said, "The humble official is going to help the lord clean up the wing room."

Fu Sisi changed into casual clothes and went out with Zhuo Ran.Gaodu seems to have changed and then seems to have not changed, Fu Sisi looked at the sky and said: "I have been busy since I came back, and I haven't gone to see Mr. in Zuixue Court yet."

Zhuo Ran looked at Fu Sisi and said, "Sister Fu, many things have happened during your absence. Liao Ze took Uncle Zhou into prison by wanting to investigate Jiyuan Temple, and Uncle Zhou was injured. , I couldn’t rescue him earlier.”

"Sir, is he injured?" Fu Sisi frowned and said, "Then how is he now?"

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Sister Fu, don't worry, Uncle Zhou is all right. Did you find out anything in Luo City? Is the matter of the salt class easy to solve?"

Fu Sisi sighed, and said: "Too many things are involved, you don't know about Xiaqiu, now not only the internal chaos in Gaodu, but also several big cities in Liuzhou have started fraudulent official banks, this time we went to spend a lot of money It took time to hand over the person to the local officials, the distance was long, and the person was tortured, the Heavenly Master was afraid that the person would not be able to hold on, so he had to bring the confession back, and let His Majesty judge."

"Liuzhou is also close to Tianzhou." Zhuo Ran said: "The governor of Liuzhou is appointed by His Majesty after all, how dare they do such a thing under His Majesty's nose?"

Fu Sisi shook her head and said: "Although Liuzhou is close to Tianzhou, in terms of distance, it is far away from the Emperor Tiangao. Your Majesty will not only care about Liuzhou. Naturally, someone will dare. Besides, General Peng has been chasing after him. If those bandits really sneak into Tuzhou, it will be another tough battle."

Zhuo Ran said: "General Peng is not familiar with the boundaries of Tuzhou, so I'm afraid he will suffer."

Fu Sisi smiled and said: "Let's not talk about Tuzhou first. When I entered Tuzhou from Liuzhou, I had to climb seven mountains. It will be autumn soon. When the weather is cold, it will be more difficult to march. If General Peng If there is a delay, then the clue is truly broken."

Zhuo Ran also sighed, and she said: "Those seven mountains are not so easy to live in. Yong, Xin, and Tu prefectures are separated from Tianzhou by these seven mountains, forming a sandwich in the middle. At that time, it was difficult for the ancient Qiang people to pass through." Come, you can only occupy the place and dare not move."

"Your Majesty must ask more people to see if there is any convenient passage in the middle. You can't send reinforcements at that time and you can only go over the mountains." Fu Sisi said: "But this is the matter of the Ministry of Industry and others. .”

Zhuo Ran lost his expression.

Just as the two were talking, they walked to Zuixue Court.

Zhuo Ran and Fu Sisi stepped in, seeing Han Congzhong still tossing his grape seedlings and Zhou Yu busy cleaning up the dishes as usual, Fu Sisi smiled and said, "Sir, Taifu, I'm back. "

Zhou Yu and Han Congzhong raised their heads together. Seeing the person, Zhou Yu said happily, "When did you come back?"

Fu Sisi said: "I just came back, I rushed over after dealing with some things."

Han Congzhong saw Zhuo Ran following behind, rubbed the mud on his hands, and said, "Xiaqiu hasn't been here for a few days, come here and help Master water the flowers."

Zhuo Ran heard the words and walked over, Han Congzhong handed her the water ladle, raised his head and said, "Sisi, how is it going in Los Angeles, is everything going well?"

Fu Sisi nodded and said, "It's okay."

Zhou Yu said: "Have you two eaten? If not, Uncle Zhou will make it for you!"

Zhuo Ran and Fu Sisi smiled at each other and nodded together.

***
Li Chengru has been at leisure recently, he doesn't have to hang out in front of Chu Shiyu, and he has lost a lot of opportunities to meet people, so he took advantage of the loopholes for nothing.

He was originally a doctor of imperial history. He regained his old career and handled things with ease.Li Chengru sipped his tea and slowly flipped through the booklet.

Yuan Lu Mao Yao found him, he wandered outside the room for a long time, Li Chengru called out from inside: "Do you want people to look at you if you don't come in?"

Yuan Lu walked in, lowered his head, and said, "...Godfather."

Li Chengru knocked on the teacup, he closed his eyes slightly, and said, "What are you doing here? You are now a celebrity around His Majesty."

Yuan Lu smiled dryly, and said: "My godfather gave me today, godfather must not say that."

Li Chengru sighed and said, "Liao Ze is dead, what do you know about this?"

Yuan Lu shook his head and said, "Godfather, I don't know anything about Mr. Liao. There were only 65 guards from Dali Temple in the prison that day, and they all died of alcohol poisoning. Mr. Liao was also assassinated. There is no way." Check it out."

Li Chengru looked puzzled, he frowned, and said, "Isn't there a survivor among the 65 people?"

Yuan Lu sighed and said, "Yes."

"Now it seems that someone is determined to want him dead." Li Chengru put his arms up and thought for a while, then said, "What's happened to Zhuo Ran recently?"

Yuan Lu said: "Zhuo Ran is now the secretary. She is busy all day long, and there is no news about her. She seems to be very peaceful."

"Peace?" Li Chengru raised the end of his words slightly, he sneered and said, "If she is peace, Gaodu won't have so many things to do."

Yuan Lu fell silent.

Li Chengru said: "I heard that Fu Sisi and Tianshi have returned to Gaodu, but General Peng hasn't come back?"

Yuan Lu told the truth.

Li Chengru said: "Fu Sisi succeeded Liao Ze as prison manager. In the future, he will be His Majesty's man. What he can do depends on His Majesty's decision. Yuan Lu, you will watch the prison for me in the future, Fu Sisi." Sisi and Zhuo Ran have been together day and night in Zuixueting for the past four years, and something about her will definitely be exposed, so keep an eye on her."

Yuan Lu thought for a while, and then said: "General Peng is now chasing the bandits, and the Tianzhou garrison is completely handed over to Wu Xiuting. By the way, since General Peng is going to enter Tuzhou, why doesn't His Majesty send Liuzhou garrison to help? The Liuzhou garrison should be very good at this matter."

Li Chengru shook his head and said: "The governor of Liuzhou is a coward! He has been relying on himself to nest in front of Dingbei Pass all these years, and there are Beili cavalry guarding there. Even if he has difficulties, Beili will not Sit back and ignore it, so these years, the soldiers have been raised so delicately that they seem to be able to fall by themselves with a slight gust of wind, and there will be no one dedicated to studying the terrain."

Yuanlu nodded.

Li Chengru said again: "Your Majesty didn't let Liuzhou intervene, because he was afraid of the official bank of the salt department you mentioned just now. His Majesty Liuzhou hasn't figured it out yet, and hastily gave them a heavy responsibility. I'm afraid they will pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and choke themselves to death." There. Therefore, this matter can only be done by His Majesty himself."

Yuan Lu greeted him with a smile, and said, "Godfather has a high vision, Yuan Lu has been educated."

Li Chengru said: "When you are in front of His Majesty, you must learn to observe words and expressions. You need to think clearly about everything anyone says."

"What godfather said is true." Yuan Lu bowed and saluted.

Li Chengru waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go back. I am very pleased that you can come to see me, and I will decide what to do in the future."

Yuanlu saluted and withdrew.
