On the fourth day when the Hai family's ancestors and grandson were busy checking the accounts, the inner ghost in the Chang'an government office was exposed.

It was not Zhang Pinggui or Wang Laoliu who exposed the inner ghost. The two of them knew nothing about this mole, except that the former knew that Du Boqin had an informant in the prefect's Yamen and could kill the prisoners in the Yamen's jail without anyone noticing.

Zhang and Wang have been arrested for so many days, and now they are confessing day by day, revealing many secrets of the Sun family. Although the Sun family in the capital has not received the news, Du Boqin in Chang'an cannot be unaware of it.

He knew that these two people knew some secrets about him, and he thought they would not dare to reveal them easily because of the Sun family's intimidation. But now, many people within Chang'an Vanguard seem to know about his past dark history, and many people are secretly following him, seemingly sent by the Zhenguo Government. How can he have any confidence in Zhang Pinggui and Wang Laoliu? Naturally, I guessed that they must have betrayed him!

He was confused and unsure of how much these two people knew about him. Although he had never met them and would only send his confidants to pass on news when something happened, the dead men of the Sun family might exchange news. Those dead men who have lived in Dujiazhuangzi for half a year know a lot about him. If they told his new accomplices, wouldn't he be completely exposed now? !

The people in the Zhenguo Palace are watching him, are they trying to prevent him from escaping without permission?

Then why didn't they just come and arrest him? Is it because he is a third-rank official of the imperial court, and he needs a decree from the capital in order to be dismissed?

Du Boqin was frightened and angry, and still had a bit of fear in his heart. He was unwilling to have his future cut off. The people he sent to the capital had been gone for three to five days, but the letter had not been delivered to the Sun family yet, but he didn't know how many days he could last until someone from the Sun family came to rescue him. He has to find a way to save himself!

So, on the one hand, he flagged off his illness and stopped going to the guardhouse. He only stayed at home to "recuperate" and ordered the soldiers to surround his yard to protect his safety. On the surface, it seemed that he was desperate, but in fact, he had been secretly preparing to leave secretly, with luggage, transportation, dry food, horses, road guides and even forged identity documents. He even prepared three secret doors and passages in his house that were connected to the outside world, so that he could leave secretly at any time under heavy surveillance.

It's a pity that the two girls he sold out previously who served as his concubines have already negotiated with their families to betray the Lord and save themselves. All the preparations he made for his escape were secretly revealed by his housekeeper to the people in the Chang'an government office. Magistrate Huang sent people to keep an eye on these three unknown exits, and also notified the people from the Zhenguo Palace. He would never let him have a chance to escape!

Du Boqin did not know that he had been betrayed. But he still wants to continue his career, so he will naturally escape secretly as a last resort. As an official of the imperial court, even if he had the support of the Sun family in the court, if he abandoned his official position and fled, it would be a black history that would be criticized by others and would affect his promotion. Therefore, he would not choose to escape until he was desperate.

Since he doesn't want to leave, he must eradicate all personal and material evidence that can prove his guilt. Even if Zhou's family knows that he has lied to them, there is nothing they can do against him.

Du Boqin focused on Zhang Pinggui and Wang Laoliu.

He didn't know how the former was caught by the Zhou family and where he was currently being held. But judging from the Zhou family's usual behavior, Zhang Pinggui was related to the Jin family's murder case, and the Zhou family would definitely send him to the government office for detention. , then he only needs to keep an eye on the government prison.

He had already used his informants in the government prison to kill six killers before, but now he only managed to kill two more. In fact, if the informant hadn't suddenly lost contact, he would have taken action against Wang Laoliu long ago. How could he have let the latter slip through the net?

Du Boqin never seriously considered why his eyeliner suddenly lost contact? Only if the government is conducting a strict investigation and the other party is afraid of being exposed, will they cut off the contact on their own. Now that the matter was urgent, he no longer cared about the life or death of the informant. He directly sent his confidants to find the informant's home, handed him a bottle of highly toxic drugs, and asked the latter to poison the two assassins who slipped through the net as soon as possible. The confidant threatened the informant, claiming that if he refused to comply or failed to do it well, his wife and children's lives would not be saved.

Then as soon as this confidant left the house, he was captured by Huang Captou's men.

Du Boqin's spy in the magistrate's office was a jailer. When he saw this, he burst into tears. When he got in front of Magistrate Huang, he did anything.

In fact, he was not willing to be Du Boqin's minion, but he had been favored by the Du family's aunt in the past. When he was young, his family was poor and he was unable to bury his parents who died of illness. Thanks to the kindness of Aunt Du's family who gave him a few taels of silver, he was able to take care of his parents' funeral arrangements. Later, the Du family's aunt helped him take care of him and sent him to the government prison to work as a small jailer. Although he was in a humble position, it was enough to support himself. He was grateful and from then on regarded the Du family's aunt as his A great benefactor. When Du Boqin found him and asked him to help with something, although he knew it was wrong, he still remembered the kindness of the Du family aunt and thought that she and Commander Du were from the same family, so he readily obeyed the order. Du Boqin once helped Sun Yonglu solve an accomplice in a tort case before, and also helped one of his own soldiers to deal with the victim's family, all through this spy.

A few days ago, Du Boqin wanted to kill seven killers in the government prison, and it was also the same spy who did it. It's just that as a jailer, he had no way to contact the injured Wang Laoliu who was detained separately, so he missed this person. He had been in the government office for more than ten years, and he did not dare to go to the Du family's door on weekdays. He only offered lamps and prayed for blessings to the Du family's aunt in the temple. Not many people knew that he had been greatly favored by the Du family. He has already had experience in killing people, and he is also somewhat clever. He does things normally every day, and almost no one suspects him.

When he heard the news of the Du family's aunt's violent death, he was completely stunned.

Knowing that something was wrong, he broke off the relationship with Du Boqin on his own, but secretly inquired about the cause of the Du family's aunt's death. How could he, a little jailer, have the means to find out such news? It wasn't until Capt. Huang found the two girls of Aunt Du's family, reached an agreement with them and their relatives, and took them to live behind the government office in order to protect their safety, that the jailer heard the truth.

He was confused for a moment and looked a little strange, and was discovered by Huang Captou.

By this time, Du Boqin's crimes had been known to many people, and the spies planted by the Sun family in Chang'an City had basically been arrested. Huang Captou felt that the jailer was acting strangely at this time, which was a bit unusual, so he inquired more and finally found him. An old police officer who had retired at home for many years heard from him that the jailer entered the government office through connections with the Du family.

Huang Captou immediately guessed who the mole in the government office was. He originally wanted to take a few people to the jailer's house to question him, and asking the latter to surrender voluntarily would also reduce the crime. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into Du Boqin's henchman and threatened the jailer to kill him and silence him, and he was caught.

Now the jailer has tried everything, and he only hopes that Du Boqin, the murderer who killed his benefactor Du's aunt, will be brought to justice as soon as possible. As for himself? From the moment he killed the first person, he knew that this day would come to him sooner or later. Although he felt sorry for his wife and children, he had no other choice. He has accumulated a small amount of savings over the years, which is probably enough for his wife and children to live a life without worries about food and clothing for ten years. But what they will be like after ten years depends on their own destiny. He no longer cares about so much.

Since then, there has been one more witness who can testify against Du Boqin's crimes.

Magistrate Huang had already sent out the secret documents, and was not planning to wait for a reply, so he wanted to join forces with the Shaanxi Dusi to arrest Du Boqin first.
