The Three Masters in Brocade Clothes of Daming Gate

Seeing the delicate figure of the house bumping and turning across the street, and the rosy pink in the crowd disappearing, Lan Xishu still felt that the clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist!

The excitement and anticipation were indescribable, his chest swelled, and Lan Xishu wished he could find a place where no one was around and yell twice to soothe his emotions.

Lan Xishu thought about it happily, and forced himself to clean up the excessively exposed excitement and calm down. When he rushed to the North Yamen, he had already suppressed his secret joy. It is a skill to be able to pretend!

The guard in brocade clothes told him that the criminals from the palace had been brought back, and it was Wu Lianwang who brought them there himself.

There was no one in the inner hall, an old scribe said that Wu Lianwang and the others were in the torture room. [

Lan Xishu was not in a hurry to go to the torture room. It wasn't a complicated case. Wu Lianwang, a few eunuchs, could handle it. Lan Xishu went to the inner hall and changed into his usual clothes. Legs rushed to the torture room.

Official airs need to be cultivated!

Before Lan Xishu arrived at the torture room, Wu Lianwang came out ahead, and a group of people were chattering behind him. The case went surprisingly smoothly. It was very simple. After going through the hall in Dongchang, the two of them colluded. The eunuch learned Dongchang's methods and became obedient. Before Wu Lianwang came to greet the executioner, he was completely bald and cried for his father and mother.

After signing and depositing, Wu Lianwang ordered the two eunuchs to be supervised separately, and met Lan Xishu in the courtyard with a confession and a blacklist of those involved.

Looking at Lan Xishu's expression, he knew that Wu Lianwang was also eager to show off, and wanted to get it done before he came back, which showed that this guy was afraid of him.

Glancing at the blacklist placed under his nose, Lan Xishu didn't realize anything yet, Wu Lianwang stood beside him with his hands down, waiting for Lan Xishu to look it over.

There are many lost objects in the palace, such as sapphire inkstones, cup holders with dragon patterns, peacock blue plum vases with chrysanthemum patterns, small calligraphy and paintings, Buddha statues, gold, silver, pearls and jade ornaments for concubines, and even gold from the imperial pharmacy. Lan Xishu frowned as he looked at the jars of decoction and so on. There were all kinds of things, many of which he had never heard of or seen.

In addition to those goods from Wucheng Bingmasi who were implicated in the joint sales of stolen goods, there were also some inconspicuous petty officials. Yan Qingyun, a master of the ninth grade in Jiaosifang, sold the most stolen goods. Several are the list of merchants who will deal with things next, and it looks like there are as many as four or five.

Lan Xishu opened the blacklist and looked at Wu Lianwang: "Master Wu! Let someone follow the plan to bring all the criminals involved in it to justice! As for those merchants who know and those who don't, they must be treated differently, and torture must not be used to extract confessions."

Wu Lianwang repeatedly said yes, Lan Xi signed the driving post, Li Xiao led the team, Mouse, Jing Maang'an followed the people who went to arrest Jiaosifang, another team led by Jing Yunshui, Ding Yage Dahu Dapiao followed To apprehend several shops involved in the case, Wu Lianwang specially arranged for several small officials who were familiar with the shops to go with them.

The people who gave the task had also left, and there was no suspense about the result of the arrest, and Jin Yiwei's arrests almost never failed.

Lan Xishu noticed that Wu Lianwang had a strange expression by his side, hesitant to speak.

"Master Wu! Sit and sit! If you have something to say, is it okay for Lan Xishu to be a layman?" Lan Xishu asked Wu Lianwang with a smile. The little officials also had anxious expressions on their faces, which confused Lan Xishu.

The case was simple and clear, Lan Xishu didn't think much of it!

"My lord! There is nothing wrong! The criminal was brought to justice and the stolen goods were recovered. The case is clear." Wu Lianwang's smile was full of lies with ulterior motives, and a little official next to him nodded and bowed in agreement, smiling openly and flattering Lan Xishu.

"Just say something! What's on the surface is clear at a glance, but the depth of the water needs to be pointed out!" Lan Xishu waited patiently, instead of gritting his teeth, he wanted to see what else was tricky inside.

"Your Excellency is so smart!" Wu Lianwang hesitated, this petty official who was eager to show off couldn't hold back, and walked a few steps to Lan Xi's case: "My Lord! Our chance to make a fortune has come."

Lan Xishu was taken aback when he heard the words, Wu Lianwang coughed falsely, but didn't make a sound to stop him.

The little official who was attentively delivering the words blinked his eyes a few times. He seemed to be unable to determine Lan Xishu's attitude for a while, and stopped talking as soon as he uttered the words. , this little official blinked his eyes and said nothing, the two of them stood across the thick and wide pineapple wood desk with curled ears, stretched their necks and stared at each other accommodatingly, it was really funny. [

"Let's be honest! Is it necessary for a yamen to eat and hide?" Lan Xishu's tone was gentle and slightly impatient, but he had a brother's indifferent expression, showing no signs of subordinates. gap.

This is a hint, the little official got some kind of encouragement, and blinked his small eyes a few more times, Wu Lianwang coughed a few more times, and the little official hurriedly said flatteringly: "My lord! This case It's simple and clear, and the people involved don't have any big names or backgrounds, but the stolen goods are involved in the world, and it is completely difficult to recover."

Uh-huh!Lan Xishu stretched his neck and nodded repeatedly across the case, smiling to encourage the little official to continue.

"Hmm! The merchants who were involved in the sale of the stolen goods have very rich family backgrounds! This! This! My lord! You may have heard of it when you first came here. Brothers hang out at the gate of the yamen. It's hard work!"

Lan Xishu understood, his neck was reset, and he raised his brows to see the smirk of this little official. Wu Lianwang lowered his eyelids, clasped his hands in his cuffs, and looked at his nose, nose, nose, and heart like an old monk in meditation.

The two little officials behind him looked anxiously at what Lan Xi saw on his face, but Lan Xi's written expression could not be called a facial expression, at least Lan Xi's smile was always on, even though he was dry .

"Extortion? Using power for personal gain? You can't do it!" Lan Xishu looked at the little official in front of him with a frightened expression after contemplation: "Just because Boss Jing is on the wine table, someone will take care of me. Ben, in case this matter gets into the court, I said, bro, the black yarn on our head is a minor matter, but beheading is a major matter. Do you think it is easy for a brother to survive this? Nine deaths are not an exaggeration, don’t you I want to watch my brother get his butt pulled in Beiyamen without making it hot!"

Lan Xishu gritted his teeth and pointed at his head, waved his hands again and again with a frightened expression: "Isn't this a bad idea to throw me into the fire pit? Get rich? Who doesn't want to get rich and who is a grandson? I can't get rich!"

"That's not what it means! My lord! When you first came here, you couldn't figure out the market. How can your subordinates harm your lord? If you lose everything, if you lose everything, you won't be able to run away from us! Didn't we hurt you when we hurt you?"

This little official almost climbed to the desk and told Lan Xixin that even such a pediatric fool would dare to come up on the stage, you thought the master snored and climbed to this seat.

"There are not many Lan Xi, but Da Minglu has seen it too. I don't need to say that everyone understands this. You are too understating it!"

Lan Xishu continued to look at this greedy official with a smile: "Many high-ranking officials are always obsessed with the word greedy, brother, be careful!"

Wu Lianwang suddenly raised his eyelids, Lan Xishu's words let him see the city of this young man, he really didn't expect a young man who climbed up by relying on a knife and luck to have such a sophisticated understanding.

"It depends on whether you will be greedy or not. Some people are greedy and never show their feet all their lives, and some people are caught after being greedy once. The key is here!"

The clerk raised a finger and pointed at his temple, and smiled. The unevenness of the gums is annoying, and the clerk in his forties can be said to be an old fritter.

Lan Xishu looked puzzled, leaned back on the back of the chair, and then looked at the little official and pointed to his temple in doubt.

The little official nodded flatteringly and smiled: "My lord! You are a smart person and you can see through it!"

Lan Xishu smiled wryly and shook his head: "I don't know what's going on here, you might as well explain it clearly! It's tiring to go around!"

The little official glanced at Wu Lianwang out of the corner of his eye, and Wu Lianwang looked at a picture of a bamboo forest on the west wall with gusto.

"Well! This! My lord!" The clerk scratched the curly beard on the minibus with his fingers and laughed: "Look, my lord, we can't touch things in the palace, right?"

Lan Xishu hummed: "No way!"

"We can't cheat the common people either, the common people are miserable!" The little official said nonsense, Lan Xishu laughed: "We can't be without conscience!"[

"But the merchants on the wealthy side are different. If they commit such a big case, losing their heads is still a minor matter. Confiscation of family property is inevitable, my lord! Think about it! It's just a drop in the bucket for us to get some of such a rich family property!"

The little official straightened his neck, and the veins on his neck throbbed like a monkey spirit.

Lan Xishu suddenly realized and nodded again and again: "That's right! We are neither greedy for the treasury nor cheating the common people, and we have a conscience if we spare the blood of these merchants to save them from being tortured!"

As soon as Wu Lianwang heard that Lan Xishu was on the road, he immediately pulled Realization out of the painting, with smile lines on his face: "My lord is such a rare and good official!"
