Wuzhou in the Tang Dynasty was only a medium-sized state. According to the government personnel arrangements at that time, Cui Jianfeng asserted that officials would generally not set up full-time officials just for the confidential affairs of a prefecture-level criminal department. Such organizations related to the criminal department, as

Officials in charge of civil and criminal matters must personally keep this list for the purpose of handling cases.

The problem is that after they sneaked into Chang Shi's office, they didn't know where to find these documents. Chang Shi would not necessarily just put these confidential documents on the desk of his office, but probably put them in a more hidden place.

The place is hard to find.

"After we enter Chang Shi's consulting room, we first need to search for this copy in the most hidden place in the room." Cui Jianfeng came to the door of Chang Shi's consulting room and quietly said to Chen Yuntian and Zhu Guangcai: "You guys

The two of you go in, while I look out for the wind."

"Okay." Chen Yuntian listened for a while and then immediately took out a thin stick that he had prepared in advance and fiddled with the copper lock on the door for a while. The door lock made a clanging sound and he poked it open.

Zhu Guangcai held a candle with a light-shielding cover in his hand and followed Chen Yuntian quietly into the Changshi's consulting room. Cui Jianfeng immediately locked the copper lock according to the predetermined plan, and then quietly retreated to the bonsai in the corner of the courtyard wall.

Behind him, he crouched and waited.

After Chen Yuntian entered the room, he immediately blocked the windows of the consulting room with the curtains he had brought with him.

Don’t think of those windows as large, bright, bright and spacious glass windows with modern feelings. You must understand that there were no glass windows in the Tang Dynasty. The windows at that time were all gridded wooden windows covered with yellowed paper as transparency.

Even though there is no light, it is still dark inside. This kind of window needs to be covered with a curtain when it is windy or rainy to prevent it from getting wet and damaged. Of course, in some places, waterproof paper coated with water and oil on peach blossom paper is also used. This kind of paper

It has good light transmittance and is not afraid of damage due to rain, but it is expensive and cannot be used by ordinary people.

In any case, the paper windows can also transmit light, so Cui Jianfeng and the others prepared curtains before they came out, covering the windows tightly so that no light could shine through.

Chen Yuntian and Zhu Guangcai lighted a few candles with peace of mind and boldly browsed through the various documents of the fourth-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"What level of official is Chang Shi?" Zhu Guangcai asked as he turned around.

"Aren't you a fifth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty? How can a fifth-rank official have an official rank that doesn't know the long history?" Chen Yuntian didn't even raise his head, just looking through the documents he took out from the cabinet.

"The official positions in the Tang Dynasty were too complicated, and the state and county levels also had different levels depending on their size."

"Wuzhou is a medium-sized state, and its long history should be at the fourth level. It is the same level as me." Chen Yuntian glanced at Zhu Guangcai and said.

"I really didn't expect that the person in charge of affairs here, Chang Shi, has a higher level than me."

"What does his level have to do with us? Find him quickly." Chen Yuntian said impatiently.

"Boom! - Boom! Boom!" At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly sounded, and the two of them immediately stopped their hands and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

"It's already the third update." Chen Yuntian listened for a while, and when there was no movement, he whispered and started searching again.

The third update is eleven o'clock in the evening.

They searched for a long time, but could not find the relevant information about the bad person they were looking for.

Changshi's inspection room is divided into two large rooms, the inspection room and the lounge, and the interior is also very luxurious. After all, he is a fourth-rank official, and the only difference between him and the governor is a higher and lower rank.

Chen Yuntian's level is also the same as that of this unknown Chang Shi, but due to different circumstances, one of them seems to be in the sky and the other is in the earth.

"This devilish son may not have the same official rank as me, but his enjoyment is infinitely better than mine." Chen Yun looked at such a luxurious working environment and found it hard to balance his heart.

If we use the analogy of the modern working environment, this long history is equivalent to the internal staff, while Chen Yuntian is equivalent to the field staff. The levels are the same, just because the former is a mental "worker" and the latter is a physical "worker", the level is the same, and the labor is the same.

There is a difference.

"It looks like it's hard to find." Chen Yuntian was discouraged.

"Before I came out of Luoyang that day, Di Guolao also reminded me to ask me about my childhood and understand the situation of state-level officials, and asked me to ask through the assistant he sent." Zhu Guangcai suddenly said.

"What did he say?"

"He said that although the governor and the county magistrate did not have a special archive, some confidential documents were placed on the plywood under the screen."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Yuntian said angrily.

"I didn't expect confidential documents to be so difficult to find."

Chen Yuntian didn't say anything, and immediately entered another viewing room. He saw that there was indeed a screen in front of a g, and immediately went to check inside and outside. There was indeed a mezzanine. But the copy he found had nothing to do with the list of bad people.

.

"It seems that this ghost son is too cunning." Seeing that he still couldn't find it, Chen Yuntian kicked the screen hard in anger.

"Don't tamper with the indoor facilities. If you damage them, we will be exposed." Zhu Guangcai has been involved in intelligence activities in the military for a period of time, so he has a certain understanding of this.

"I can't find it anyway, let's go back." Chen Yuntian sighed helplessly.

"No." Zhu Guangcai looked at the indoor furnishings for a while, then knocked on the desks and cabinets in the room, and poked and poked along the walls and the floor for a long time, and finally placed a piece of g that Chang Shi used to rest during his duties.

He stopped on the ground beneath his feet.

"Open it and take a look." He held the candle in his left hand and the scabbard in his right hand while knocking on it.

When Chen Yuntian heard the news, he immediately stepped forward, drew out his sword, dug into the crack of the floor tile, and opened the tile. A small wooden box immediately appeared underneath.

"Finally found it!" Chen Yuntian took out the small wooden box, opened the lid, and saw a stack of yellowed paper inside. When he saw the words on it, he jumped for joy.

"It's almost dawn." Zhu Guangcai immediately took out the pen and ink rice paper he brought with him: "We have to write down the list as soon as possible, then put it back as it is and evacuate."

"Okay!" Chen Yuntian said, and the two hurriedly took the list to the desk in the chief's office, put the candle on the lamp stand on the desk, then polished the pen with inkstone, and started copying the list separately.

Zhu Guangcai looked at this dense stack of lists and realized why Di Guolao didn't let him take the original intention of letting him grow up and bring out the lists directly. Such a thick stack of lists, and there are many indexes, etc.

I can't get out Jialiku.

The two of them divided the copy in half and hurriedly copied it. Since they had made sufficient preparations before coming out and had all the pen, ink and paper, they copied the list one by one.

"I really didn't expect that Liangren's organization is so huge. No wonder Qiu Siyuan and the others were discovered by these people several times?" Chen Yuntian looked at the thick stack of lists and expressed embarrassment: "With so many lists, we

Can you finish copying it before dawn?"

"Absolutely." Zhu Guangcai said: "Should we also call Mr. Cui to copy it?"

"No." Chen Yuntian said: "We can't call the sentry to copy these, otherwise if there is an accident, none of us will be able to escape. Don't say more, let's copy them quickly."

"What time do you think the update is now?"

"It's almost the fourth update."

"At our speed, we will almost finish copying before dawn." Zhu Guangcai estimated the progress of the two of them and said.

Chen Yuntian didn't speak anymore, but quickly copied the list without saying a word.

During the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of writing and copying were done with brushes, which was very slow.

When they had almost finished copying, the drum suddenly sounded.
Chapter completed!
