They were now demoted from high-ranking officials to common people, but despite this, Yin Qianhu still lived an extremely comfortable life. Lu Gaohong not only filled the vacancy for him, covered up his crimes, but also gave him a large sum of money for his retirement.

What's ridiculous is that Yin Qianhu actually thought that this was Lu Gaohong's show of kindness to him. He kept telling others about his improper relationship with Lu Gaohong when he was out. Even if Yin Qianhu didn't do this and died, it wouldn't be long before he died.

Lu Gaohong also wanted to kill Yin Qianhu and silence him.

Qin Yuandao looked around at all this and said in a cold voice: "Yin Renzhao, the former master of Qianhu, stays, and everyone else goes out!"

Qin Yuandao specifically explained Yin Renzhao's former official position, presumably because he came to him about matters related to his former officialdom.

With Liang Ji here, Mrs. Yin and her son did not dare to be more presumptuous. After taking a look at Yin Renzhao, she and the old housekeeper left the door.

Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji unceremoniously sat down at their dining table. Yin Renzhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You two adults have had a hard journey, and we have just used chopsticks here, why don't you stay and eat a little?

"

With that said, Yin Renzhao turned around and took two wine glasses, filled them with fine wine and handed them to Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji: "Master Qin, General Liang, please."

To show respect, Yin Renzhao took the lead to drink all the wine in his glass and stood in front of the two of them with a fawning smile.

Yin Renzhao can deceive others and say that he has a good relationship with Lu Gaohong, but he never dares to make a mistake in front of Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji. Now that they have not allowed him to sit down, he, a commoner, can only stand blankly where he is.

On the ground, he looked at the two of them with a helpless smile.

Now the person they are looking for, Yin Renzhao, is right in front of them. At this moment, Qin Yuandao secretly has a plan in his heart. He wants Yin Renzhao to tell personally about Lu Gaohong's use of power for personal gain, which will inevitably lead to some psychological warfare.

Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji didn't touch their wine glasses, they just sat on the stools and looked at Yin Renzhao in front of them.

After watching for about a quarter of an hour, Yin Renzhao finally couldn't stand anymore, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Qin Yuandao and said, "If Mr. Qin has something to do with the common people, you might as well tell him directly. Why bother?"

Yin Renzhao was also a court official in the past, so he naturally knew Qin Yuandao's temper and was an upright man. He came to him probably because he had embezzled military pay and food supplies a few days ago.

But hasn’t this matter been over for more than a month? Besides, this is still a matter handled by Prime Minister Lu Gaohong, how could anyone discover it?

When Qin Yuandao heard what he said, he smiled secretly in his heart, then sneered at the corner of his mouth, looked at Yin Renzhao and said: "Some time ago, Dou Lu, Yan Fengqi and others embezzled frontline food, fodder and military pay, were you involved?

"

Qin Yuandao's voice was sharp, his expression was even more upright, and there was a chill all over his body. Liang Ji, who was sitting beside him, had to admire him. He had never had any contact with Qin Yuandao on government affairs, and he had never seen Qin Yuandao so serious.

side.

But Yin Renzhao was also a scheming old fox. When he heard what Qin Yuandao said, he breathed a sigh of relief. This time he could understand what Qin Yuandao had done.

"That's what Mr. Qin was talking about. Wasn't that case closed a long time ago? The common people are guilty. The crime is that they knew the truth and failed to report it. The crime is that they betrayed the emperor's trust in the common people. However, the matter of corruption has nothing to do with the common people! Now, the common people are guilty.

Prime Minister Lu has found out the truth, and the common people have been punished accordingly. I really don’t know what Master Qin did.”

Yin Renzhao smiled, his eyes couldn't help but dodge. There was a little sparkle in his smiling eyes, as if he was sure that they could not find evidence. Lu Gaohong would not do it for him, even for Lu Gaohong himself.

The evidence is processed cleanly.

"Hmph..." Qin Yuandao had long expected that Yin Renzhao would say this. He laughed coldly, and then said: "That's not what you said when you first reviewed it, right?!"

Yin Renzhao's expression was a little unnatural. When he was arrested, he was extremely scared. He naturally knew how serious a crime it was to embezzle frontline food and grass, let alone this special period. If the emperor found out, he would definitely be killed.

At that time, he thought that he had been caught, so he would reveal everything. Thanks to him, he was able to catch several other officials who were also involved in corruption.

But after a while, Yin Renzhao calmed down. He looked at Qin Yuandao and smiled, confident that Lu Gaohong had corrected all his confessions. When he came to Jingzhou City, he had confirmed it with Lu Gaohong again and again.

"Even ordinary people don't remember things that happened so long ago. Can Mr. Qin take a look at the confession he made at that time? After all, it's better to say something in black and white than to say it in plain words." Yin Renzhao said in a pretense of relaxation.

Qin Yuandao smiled and did not follow Yin Renzhao's words. Both of them knew that the confession had been changed. He could not provide direct evidence. Just relying on the details of handwriting, paper and ink, Dali Temple

Shaoqing has ten thousand reasons to explain why it is different.

"Can Yin Qianhu's daughter be a concubine in the palace?" Qin Yuandao changed the topic and turned to Yin Renzhao's daughter, Yin Renzhi.

Yin Renzhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Qin, you are so polite. I am a common man who has committed a crime. He is no longer Master Yin Qianhu."

Qin Yuandao smiled coldly, nodded to Yin Renzhao and motioned for him to sit down.

Yin Renzhao naturally understood. After he sat down, he smiled at Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji and said: "The common people do have a daughter, who is now a concubine in the palace, but she is just a little nobleman. In the harem of the Holy Emperor, she is also

It’s not that novel.”

Yin Renzhao kept his posture extremely low, hoping that this would make them relax their vigilance.

"Yes, it's not surprising to be in the Holy Emperor's harem, but to be able to find a way out for you in the deep palace, Master Yin is so lucky!" Qin Yuandao looked at Yin Renzhao's groveling look, and couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, but on his face

But he pretended to be chatting.

Yin Renzhao smiled naively and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Qin? Why can't ordinary people understand it?"

"Can you not understand what I am saying?" Qin Yuandao looked straight at Yin Renzhao and said intriguingly.

I saw Yin Renzhao's smile frozen on his face, his expression a little unnatural, he twisted his waist twice, feeling restless on pins and needles: "The common people can't understand."

Yin Renzhao already understood what Qin Yuandao meant. Thinking that Qin Yuandao had known it for a long time, he found his daughter Yin Rui, who was a concubine in the palace, for help. Yin Rui didn't know how to get the help of Concubine Ming, so Lu Gaohong asked

Help him absolve himself.

"Do you know what conditions Yin Rui agreed to by Concubine Ming, so that Lu Gaohong would help you like this, acquitting you and returning home with money? It can be said that all the benefits are taken by you alone." Qin Yuandao stood up.

, walked to Yin Renzhao, leaned over and asked.

At that time, Yin Renzhao only cared about his own safety, and kept asking his wife to beg his daughter Yin Zhi, who was a concubine in the palace, hoping that she would beg for mercy in front of the Holy Father for the sake of the love between father and daughter, but he had no idea.

A few days later, Lu Gaohong found him and said that his daughter Yin Ruo asked Concubine Ming for help, so that he could save his life.

But how Yin Zhi could get Lu Gaohong's help was unknown to Yin Renzhao, and he had never thought about it.

"What...is it?" Yin Renzhao asked with a trembling voice.
