Chapter 40 All Relatives Will Walk With You

"Tie up these people first."

After Luo Porridge gave the order, he continued: "Now tell me, Mr. Liu, where did you get all your money? Just swearing a few stupid words and doing a few things to eat and drink, I'm afraid it's not worth so much money. "

"My lord, are these questions still important?"

"The next official will die no matter what..."

Liu Qianshi said with a dejected look on his face.

"Of course it matters!"

Luo Congee paused and continued: "The death of a person is death, the death of a family is death, and the death of a whole family is also death, but the difference in the number of people is too great..."

"Come on, go to the guard and turn over Liu Qianshi's recent on-duty brochure, and I will confront you face-to-face."

Luo Porridge waved his hand and said, a group of guards in brocade clothes and hundreds of households galloped away on their horses.

During the period, Luo Porridge sat aside and waited quietly. This matter is related to the internal stability of Jin Yiwei, so it naturally needs to be investigated carefully.

"My lord, the booklet recording duty has been brought back."

Not long after, the hundred households who had just left had already rushed back, but the horses on the ground were already tired and limp on the ground, the latter bowed and handed over a heavy booklet regardless of the pain in his heart.

"Ok!"

Luo Congee nodded, looking carefully, Jin Yiwei's daily on-duty status was registered and compiled, and the warehouse of the pile of books was always guarded by the confidant left behind by the crippled Luo.

There is absolutely no possibility of bribery or tampering, not to mention that if the booklet is touched, it is no different from being a thief with a guilty conscience.

"Then lame Luo was also recuperating at home when he returned to Beijing?"

"Master Liu's illness is really a coincidence."

Luo Porridge quickly discovered the problem. Although the vacancies of officials in recent years are not an exception, and even most of the old people in Jinyiwei leave at any time, but this time period is indeed different. How can they all happen to happen? There are so many coincidences.

"Tell me."

"How much is the whereabouts of the lame Luo worth?"

Luo Porridge closed the book and said, from the very beginning, he knew that someone in Jinyiwei had revealed the whereabouts of the lame Luo, but he never expected it to be the person in front of him, after all, in his image, he has always been indifferent to the world.

"50 taels of silver..."

Liu Qian hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, if Zhang Ziqi hadn't come today, he would be a bachelor, and he would commit suicide directly before he died from the poison.

Afterwards, let him check it out, Ziqi didn't know about all the things, it's just that there were more people in Jinyiwei who died, what does it have to do with him who is about to die?
Right now, I can't control myself. Seeing what the thief means, I don't have a definite explanation today, and I'm afraid that everyone present will die.

After all, in Yongle Street, the saying "I'd rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go" had already spread within Jin Yiwei.

"50 million taels?"

"It's really worth the money!"

Luo Congee sneered and said, don't look at how many homes have been confiscated in the past few days, it is often tens of millions of taels of silver, but you must know that it is the result of more than ten years of secret management by a group of high-ranking people.

But now, just a piece of whereabouts is worth so much money. It is conceivable how corrupt the situation in northern Xinjiang is, so much so that it is so necessary to kill people at any cost.

"Has the matter of Hanlu Pavilion ever been related to you?"

Luo Porridge withdrew his thoughts and continued to ask.

"It's true that the lower officials never participated." Liu Qianshi continued after shaking his head. "Lord Luo, you don't need to ask any more questions. The official has always been in one-way contact with the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I don't even know who passed the news."

"However, Shangshu Xie sent someone to contact the lower officials before taking action. If they can use Jin Yiwei's body to get close to your lord and take off your head by surprise, they are willing to pool 500 million taels of silver..."

"Unfortunately, the lower officials don't have that ability..."

Liu Qian said with a self-deprecating smile after talking about it.

"in this case,"

"The heads of my father and son in the Luo family are quite valuable..."

Luo Congee said coldly.

"It is indeed quite valuable. To be an official in the court, but not for power, is for money. The lower officials know that they have no ability to climb up, so they have to get some money. It's just that the lower officials have sold informants and dishes from all over Jinyiwei over the years. The sum of silver is only 10 taels, which is less than one-fifth of what he earned a few days ago."

"Then again, if those people hadn't given too much, Xiaguan wouldn't have taken such a risk..."

Liu Qianshi said with a bitter smile.

"Besides these two incidents, there are people in Jinyiwei who have betrayed other information."

Luo Congee continued to ask, but his eyes did fall on Zhang Ziqi from time to time.

Although he didn't know what relationship this scholar had with him, but he only needed to know that he cared about this person very much.

"call……"

"The lower officials can write down everything they know as adults."

Liu Qianshi followed Luo Congee's gaze, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"I really underestimated you..."

Luo Porridge took the booklet, and looked at the densely packed names of people on it, shocked. The dozen or so people that Ding Xiu had already found out were already enough, but he didn't expect it to be just the tip of the iceberg.

"What else do you know?"

Luo Porridge asked in a cold voice after putting the zhezi in his arms.

"Lord Luo, I have already told you everything I know. As for those people in Northern Xinjiang who participated in the murder of the former commander, I am not worthy of knowing..."

"Well,"

"When the time comes, I will go to northern Xinjiang for a while."

Luo Congee murmured.

"Since we've finished asking questions."

"Then I will send Lord Liu on his way..."

"The lower official knows that he has committed a serious crime and has already taken poison."

"Well, don't bother Mr. Luo, you can do it yourself!"

Liu Qian said frankly when he heard the matter, originally he didn't think about surviving, but now it seems that he is quite satisfied with his answer, at least he won't be angry with others.

"Oh, right,"

"I almost forgot."

"And bring his distant nephew with him."

Luo Congee didn't pay any attention to Liu Qian's words, instead he pulled out the Xiuchun knife from his waist and pointed at Zhang Ziqi who had a dull face.

"If Mr. Luo feels that he is not enough to vent his hatred, then he will kill the lower officials himself. The wives and servants in the mansion are all there. They have shared the honor and disgrace with my Liu family, and they have also benefited from the money. These years have not passed. It’s a good day, and it’s not wrong to slaughter them together according to the crimes committed by the lower officials..."

"But Mr. Luo, why do you want to vent on him as a weak scholar? You should know that his surname is Zhang, and my surname is Liu. They are just the nephew of a subordinate official, and they have been out of control for a long time..."

Liu Qian, who was originally very calm, suddenly became agitated when he saw this, and roared at Luo Congee with a cold face in front of him.

"Are you a relative outside of Wufu?"

Luo Congee watched the scholar beside him play with taste.

"Boom..."

After saying that, Luo Porridge kicked Zhang Ziqi to the ground.

"I never said I wouldn't kill him!"

"It doesn't matter how many volts or clans you are!"

"puff……"

The voice is still falling,

The embroidered spring knife had already pierced the scholar's heart.

The young man's face was covered with splashed blood,
"you you you……"

The latter was horrified looking at this scene. It had been more than half an hour since he had taken the poison, and now he was under such an impact, his blood surged and entered his internal organs.

Under the self-eating consequences, his face turned pale, even his mouth turned purple, and he threw his head up and fell to the ground in the middle of speaking.

"I only know,"

"You killed the closest relatives of this official."

"I will let you have no relatives in this world!"

After Luo Porridge wiped the blood stains on his face, he bent down and patted Xie Qianshi's cheek, and continued, "Don't worry, it's not just his relative."

"It is..."

Luo Congee paused and continued.

"Those relatives you have passed by, or those relatives who have not passed by," Luo Congee moved closer and read in a cold voice: "They will all accompany you and walk together..."
