Chapter 87 Bait

Ministry of Punishment.

Qin Huaidao put on the official uniform of Dali Temple and hurried over with Luo Zhang. The gatekeeper did not dare to neglect. He simply asked a few questions and directly led the people to Li Jing's room. Li Jing was a little surprised. He waved his hand to signal the gatekeeper to leave and made a gesture.

Asking for instructions, he joked: "It looks really tight in this outfit."

"I've met Mr. Li." Qin Huaidao looked businesslike.

"Is something wrong?" Li Jing realized it was not just a visit and became serious.

"Are the gangsters who attacked Qinjiazhuang last night still in the Criminal Department?"

"Here, what do you want to do?"

"Please, Mr. Li, please help someone and send the person outside Anhua Gate or Qixia Gate. Just find a place to put him." Qin Huaidao said seriously. These two gates are in the south of Chang'an, and there is a Mingde Gate in the middle.

It's connected to Zhuque Street, so it's definitely not possible to leave it at Mingde Gate.

Li Jing was a little surprised: "This is against the rules, what are you going to do?"

"Of course we are solving the case. Please cooperate with Mr. Li. If anything happens, I will take care of it."

"What nonsense, can you afford it? Death is the most important thing. Doing this is against etiquette. Those in the Ministry of Rites will spray you to death." Li Jing reminded angrily.

"Master Li, this is a matter of Dali Temple. Are you sure you don't want to cooperate? If you stop the lower official from handling the case, the lower official has the right to suspect that you are an accomplice and go to the Holy Master to read your book." Qin Huaidao used Dali Temple to exert pressure and had a strong attitude.

This must be done, otherwise it will affect subsequent plans.

Luo Zhang's eyes twitched as he looked at him. No one else had the courage, not even Li Jing dared to threaten him.

Li Jing was also very angry and said with a dark face: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course, Mr. Li can ignore it and not support the official in solving the case. Just say it and the official will leave immediately. But after walking out of this door, the official will go to Wannian County to sue your Ministry of Punishment for shielding the murderer and causing trouble.

Get up, everyone's face is shameful. Whoever stops me from taking revenge is my enemy. Uncle Li, please do it." After saying this, Qin Huaidao bowed solemnly and held the courtesy of a junior.

"What are you...forget it, I'll just go crazy with you once." Li Jing couldn't laugh or cry. He could see that Qin Huaidao was very determined. He really dared to sue. By then, everyone would be ashamed, and asked with concern: "Tell me about you.

plan of."

"Thank you for your support, sir." Qin Huaidao said politely, not wanting to say anything.

"Even I don't want to reveal it?" Li Jing was a little angry. Seeing Qin Huaidao's cold face, he knew that he couldn't ask the reason, so he didn't bother to ask anymore, so he immediately called someone to explain a few words.

The time of one stick of incense.

A large number of carriages came out of the Criminal Department. The corpses of the murderers were piled inside the carriages. The carriages were fairly well covered and did not cause any commotion along the way. Qin Huaidao followed the convoy slowly.

The motorcade came out of Anhua Gate and walked forward for a short distance. They found an open space and lifted the corpses out of the carriage. They were placed in rows on the ground without any obstruction, which immediately attracted the attention of people passing by.

Qin Huaidao jumped on a carriage and shouted loudly: "Everyone, I am the official Qin Li of Dali Temple. I have been ordered to investigate the case. These people are rebels. Please help identify them. The reporter will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. The second person will be rewarded with a reward of one thousand taels of silver."

The whistleblower was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, the third whistleblower was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the subsequent whistleblowers were rewarded with none.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Someone shouted: "Master Qin, is this true? What if I can't get the money?"

"That's right, don't keep me waiting."

"What if the rebel bandit's comrades find out that we are reporting him and take revenge in the future?"

Qin Huaidao was well prepared and shouted loudly: "Anyone with information can go to Jufu Restaurant for dinner and quietly inform the shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant. The shopkeeper will secretly give you the silver reward and free of charge for the meal. Who knows when the time comes?"

You report it? But I have to remind everyone that anyone who dares to make a false report will be guilty of the same crime as the rebels."

"Is there really a silver reward?" someone shouted, obviously interested.

"You don't believe what I said. Anyway, there is no loss for everyone. Why not try your luck? What if something happens?" Qin Huaidao explained loudly and jumped off the carriage.

Luo Zhang asked worriedly: "Uncle, is this possible?"

"Can you give it a try and find out? The dead man doesn't know many people, but there are a lot of ghosts and monsters in Chang'an City. There are always people with other ways. As long as someone reports it, we can follow the clues and find evidence. Do you understand?"

"Anyway, it's either the Wang family or the Cui family. Wouldn't it be over if we just go to them?"

"Where's the evidence?" Qin Huaidao asked angrily: "If you come directly to the door, the two families can completely push it aside, or even bite back, saying that we made false accusations and that the dead were all domestic slaves who sold themselves, but they also need to be registered with the county government.

, as long as someone makes a report, their reporting identity can be found, and the filing of the report is evidence."

"It makes sense, but many aristocratic families are unwilling to report to their slaves in order to avoid leaking secrets."

Qin Huaidao smiled nonchalantly and said: "The domestic servants trained by the aristocratic family cannot stay in one place every day. They need to go to various places to do some shady things. How can I find a way to lead without an identity? How can I get around without a way to lead? To say the least,

Even if there is no report, don’t be afraid.”

"Why?" Luo Zhang was surprised.

"Because there is another purpose in doing this, which is to show it to the families of these people."

Qin Huaidao said coldly, with a twinkle in his eye: "It is best for a person to die and be buried in peace. If the body is left here, if the people behind the scenes don't care about it, the family members of the deceased will be cold-hearted and dissatisfied, and they will think, since

The master doesn’t care about life or death. If you don’t report it, others will report it. It’s better to report it yourself and fly away with the money. One thousand taels is enough to live on.”

"It makes sense. It can not only jump out from behind the scenes, but also provoke insiders to report, and it can also chill the families of the victims. It kills three birds with one stone. This is a great trick for my uncle." Luo Zhang said with a sincere smile.

Qin Huaidao smiled and said nothing. Naturally, he would not say that there was another motive behind it, which was to establish his power, to portray himself as an image who would do anything for revenge, and to intimidate Xiao Xiao.

Luo Zhang thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, why is the first one rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, the second one with one hundred taels of silver, and the third one with ten taels of silver?"

"Because human nature is greedy, if the difference is not big, you will wait and see. If the difference is large, you will want to report it anyway, why not be the first? Let's go." Qin Huaidao explained and walked forward.

The officer in charge of escorting from the Ministry of Punishment came over, saluted and said, "Master Qin, are we?"

"If you can, please work harder and help keep an eye on it. No one is allowed to touch the body. If anyone makes trouble, come to Jufu Tower to find me." Qin Huaidao said, quietly stuffing three taels of silver into his hand.

Seeing that Qin Huaidao was so capable, instead of directly putting pressure on the superiors, the other party felt grateful and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, brothers will definitely keep an eye on him."

"Thank you." Qin Huaidao said politely and left in a hurry.

The two of them walked in a hurry and hurried to Jufu Tower and told the shopkeeper about the situation. The shopkeeper was an old man from Cheng Yaojin's house. He knew Qin Huaidao and knew the relationship between the two families, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

The bait has been put down, and the next step is to wait.
