Luo'an, in the prison of the Supervision Department

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Screams rang out in the dark cell. A lean man who looked to be in his thirties was tied to the wall with his upper body naked. Beside him, two officers from the Supervision Department were holding red-hot irons.

Execute him!

Facing the hot temperature of the soldering iron, the prisoner fainted from the pain not long after. In response to this, Song Xiaode, who was sitting on a chair nearby, happily eating melon seeds, waved directly to the subordinates beside him, and the subordinates who received the signal

He immediately picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on the prisoner.

The cold water immediately caused the prisoner who had just fainted to wake up, his whole body shivering in pain. Seeing this, Song Xiaode showed no mercy, but asked the other party very wantonly:

"Huang Yougui, do you want to recruit him or not?"

Faced with Song Xiaode's inquiry, Huang Yougui immediately wailed:

"Sir, I really have nothing to do with the Coordination Office. I have never met any of their people. How could I be bribed by them? Master Song, you must be aware of this!"

Listening to Huang Yougui's answer, Song Xiaode nodded slightly. Just when a glimmer of hope rose in Huang Yougui's heart, he only heard Song Xiaode say lightly:

"The people in the Coordination Office are really hard-boned. They really won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Someone come and take good care of me!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Song Xiaode's instructions, the officer on the side immediately picked up his whip and dipped it in cold water and walked over. Seeing this terrifying scene, Huang Yougui immediately shouted with all his strength:

"Master Song, you are wronged! I am really not from the Coordination Office. If I had anything to do with the Coordination Office, our Huang family would have no descendants...

·····”

Song Xiaode didn't seem to be interested in Huang Yougui's swearing at all. He stood up and casually ordered to the men beside him:

"Have fun with him, and then come to me after he has recruited them all!"

"Please don't worry, sir!"

After hearing this, Song Xiaode walked out of the cell and left the prison, and came to a private house he owned in the north city of Luo'an. Although this house was not big and could only be entered once, in Luo'an where every inch of land was at a premium, it cost a full five dollars.

One hundred taels of silver is higher than the annual salary of Song Xiaode, the Supervisor of Qianhu.

But Song Xiaode didn't spend even a tael of silver. He just got the title deed of this house and secretly raised him here with the brothel who had just redeemed him from the brothel more than a month ago!

After a stick of incense, when Song Xiaode was in his private house, flirting with his mistress on his lap and feeling uncomfortable, his most capable subordinate Li Wei came to report.

Seeing Li Wei's arrival, Song Xiaode had no intention of getting up. He waved lazily to Li Wei and said:

"What did you find during this investigation?"

Facing Song Xiaode's inquiry, Li Wei bowed and said:

"Let me tell you, Mr. Qianhu, I have investigated three houses, five shops, and the grain depot under Huang Yougui's name. According to my investigation, Huang Yougui does not seem to have anything to do with the Coordination Office. He is doing everything serious.

Business······················"

Hearing Li Wei's very serious answer, Song Xiaode stood up helplessly, came to Li Wei, patted his shoulder and said:

"Brother, don't I know if Huang Yougui is from the Coordination Office?"

"His coward doesn't look like someone from the Coordination Office? As soon as I gave him some tricks, he was so frightened that he wet his pants! If the Coordination Office were full of people like him, would our Supervision Department still have such a headache as today?

?”

"How do you say that sentence? What's the crime of a common man? What's the use of a jade..."

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!" Li Wei reminded in a low voice:

"Yes, that's the sentence, but you know better!"

After praising Li Wei, Song Xiaode lowered his voice and said:

"The price of food in Luo'an is so expensive now. Someone above is eyeing the food in his warehouse, but this guy is ignorant and insists on asking for a high price. Since he doesn't understand current affairs, don't blame us for being rude. What's the confession?

The people from Bian Dalao will take care of it. You go and get some physical evidence from his house and shop. When the time comes and there is a confession and physical evidence, we will deal with him!"

Li Wei was a little surprised when he heard this, hesitated and said:

"Sir, isn't this bad? If someone discovers..."

Seeing that Li Wei was afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, Song Xiaode hated iron and said:

"If you don't tell me, no one will know. And the people above are very well-connected this time. Even if there is something going on, it will be suppressed. After the matter is done, I will get you fifty taels of silver. Don't let him get it."

That’s nonsense!”

After hearing what Song Xiaode said, Li Wei nodded and said:

"Sir, I understand, I will make arrangements right away!"

Song Xiaode nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. The next second something seemed to sound in his voice, and he asked Li Wei:

"How is the investigation of the case you experienced at the Ministry of War going?"

Facing Song Xiaode's inquiry, Li Wei thought for a moment and replied:

"The case is under investigation, but there are some things I need to query in the document database, but I don't have the token authority..."

After hearing this, Song Xiaode hesitated for a few seconds, then found a token and handed it to Li Wei and said:

"Take my token and go to the archives to check the files. Levi, check it carefully. Whether we can show our faces in front of my uncle depends on this vote!"

Li Wei took the token with respectful hands and promised Song Xiaode very seriously:

"Sir Qianhu, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to my trust in my humble position!"

Song Xiaode tilted his head slightly when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to explain:

"I've been living here for the past few days. If that stinky bitch of mine asks you, just say that I have an important case outside and can't go back. This stinky bitch is the most serious person. She doesn't know that my uncle likes him.

She insists on letting me marry her. By the way, if there is anything missing in my house, Li Wei, you can buy some for me and then go back to the Yamen to claim it and say it is for office needs!"

Hearing what Song Xiaode said, Li Wei seemed to be submissive on the surface, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Because as a mole placed in Luo'an by the Coordination Office, Li Wei took the initiative to contact the Wang family for the purpose of the mission. However, after all, human hearts are made of flesh. As the two of them got along well, Li Wei also had some feelings for the Wang family.

Emotionally, I couldn't bear to drag Mrs. Wang into the water, so I took the initiative and deliberately alienated Mrs. Wang.

However, what Li Wei never expected was that the small flame he unintentionally lit in Wang's heart would actually make this resentful woman burn to death. Wang also saw that Li Wei was deliberately alienating her, so she directly found her

She married Li Wei and told him that if he dared to play with her, she would abandon her. Then she would expose her affair with Li Wei and then hang herself. No one should think about it...

·············

Seeing the Wang family who wanted to die together, Li Wei had to comfort her body and soul before persuading her to stop. He originally wanted to treat her coldly and let everyone calm down, but finally let the matter go. But now it seems that he is again

We are going to have an endless struggle with the Wang family!

After bidding farewell to Song Xiaode, Li Wei took his token and walked towards the case library of the Supervision Department. The case that Song Xiaode said about the Ministry of War experience was that an experience from the Ministry of War was used as substandard military rations to supply the front line, and tens of thousands of people were embezzled.

Two pieces of silver, after this incident was exposed, it immediately aroused the anger of the chief assistant. The Shangguan chief assistant immediately ordered the Supervision Department to intervene and investigate the matter to the end.

However, just when the Ministry of Punishment was preparing to hand over this person from the Ministry of War to the Supervision Department, this person from the Ministry of War committed suicide after writing a confession in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment!

Although the prisoner died, the case still had to be investigated. Song Xiaode, who was eager to perform meritorious services, took the initiative to ask Chen Jingyu to investigate the matter, and Chen Jingyu also agreed to the matter. Song Xiaode, who had obtained the case, naturally took matters into his own hands.

Gave it to Levi.

According to Levi's investigation, this matter seems to be far from as simple as it seems. The person who committed the crime does not seem to be the only one with experience in the Ministry of War. This experience in the Ministry of War is just pushed out as a scapegoat. In addition, there are very few clues. This

It also made Li Wei a little hesitant, wondering if he should continue to investigate...

However, Song Xiaode's repeated urging still forced Li Wei to come to the case file library to look for new clues. Although Song Xiaode had promised Li Wei to help him operate the Supervision Department, the operation took time, so Li Wei was originally

It is impossible to enter the record library with high grades, but with Song Xiaode, the token of Qianhu, you can.

After entering the archives, Li Wei immediately found information about the experience of the Ministry of War. This person's name was Liu Xishan, a person from Guanzhong. He was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Anhe. His father, counting three generations above, was a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.

After becoming a Jinshi, he directly joined the Ministry of War and served as a doctor in the Ministry of War. What an experience!

Seeing this resume, Li Wei couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. The Ministry of War is one of the six departments of the imperial court and an important department of the imperial court. A department like this is not something that a Jinshi can get into if he wants to, let alone a Jinshi from an ordinary peasant background.

, it is difficult for even Jinshi who came from an official family to enter the Ministry of War.

There must be something wrong with telling Li Wei directly about this matter. It is very likely that someone secretly contributed, but who could this person be?

Realizing this problem, Li Wei pondered for a while and turned over the files of Li Wei's wife, Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang was Liu Xishan's wife. She married Liu Xishan when she was seventeen years old. She was the daughter of a merchant from Liu Xishan's hometown.

Naturally, there is no energy at home to move Liu Xishan to the Ministry of War...

Since Liu Xishan is not his wife's family influence and is a poor scholar, and there is no powerful teacher to help him, then who will send him to the Ministry of War? It is not a person with such ability who can send a Jinshi to serve as an errand in the Ministry of War.

What a simple character!

Li Wei realized that as long as he figured out this question, he could find out the key behind this matter. After thinking hard for a while, he couldn't think of an answer.

At this time, he was bored and turned over the information about Liu Xishan's parents. Liu Xishan's father, Liu Dajun, was a farmer, so there was nothing to check, but his mother, Mrs. Li, was...

Looking at the records in the file, a light flashed in Levi's eyes for a short time, and then he seemed to understand something. He immediately started searching in the file. After a while, he found what he wanted and Levi murmured in a low voice:

"If that's true, if what I expected is correct, they are the ones behind Liu Xishan!"

Li Wei, who found the mastermind of the matter, also wanted to know more about the other party's details. However, when he flipped through the other party's file, a line of words attracted his attention, making Li Wei couldn't help but look surprised, subconsciously

The voice murmured:

"How could this happen? Is this a trap?"

After whispering in a low voice, Levi felt incredible. He read the line of words carefully again, and after confirming that he had read it correctly, he gradually closed the file, and his expression became cloudy. After a while, he

Putting the files in their place and quickly walking out of the document library, I made a decision in my mind!

"This matter must be reported to the top as soon as possible! We must not let the Supervision Department's conspiracy succeed!"

·······························

·······························

In the grass in the back garden, Ye Mingsheng, who had pressed Jinyu to the ground and was about to teach her a lesson, looked at Xiao Ruolan who suddenly appeared. His expression was also initially shocked, but turned into a trace of embarrassment, and he subconsciously put on his clothes.

of clothing.

Watching Ye Mingsheng put on her clothes, Jinyu had a hint of resentment in her eyes. Ye Mingsheng hadn't "taught her a lesson" for several days. She finally made an appointment with Ye Mingsheng today, and she was going to have some exciting fun with Ye Mingsheng and try to please her.

Ye Mingsheng didn't expect that everything would be messed up by Xiao Ruolan, a bitch.

Although she was very reluctant, seeing that Ye Mingsheng had already put on her clothes, Jinyu had no choice but to put on her clothes.

Walking out of the grass, Jinyu glanced at Xiao Ruolan who was standing aside with disgust, then held Ye Mingsheng's hand and rubbed Ye Mingsheng's arm with a bunny, and said in a very aggrieved tone:

"Ms. sir!"

Subconsciously pulling out his arm from Jinyu's hand, Ye Mingsheng comforted him and said:

"You go back first and talk about it later in the evening!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng mention "evening", Jinyu, who was very aggrieved a second ago, suddenly had a joyful look in her beautiful eyes. She didn't care that Xiao Ruolan was beside her, and immediately said to Ye Mingsheng:

"Ms. sir, I will be waiting for you in the courtyard tonight. You must come!"

After finishing speaking, Jinyu bit her silver teeth and glanced at Xiao Ruolan who was standing aside, then she leaned into Ye Mingsheng's ear and said:
Chapter completed!
