The sergeant took out the key and opened the chain of the cage. He roughly grabbed Lin Qingyuan's clothes and pulled him out.
Lin Qingyuan shouted, he did not call out Abu's name, he only shouted to Song Dekui:
"Hey! Song, what do you mean? I didn't do anything. He is the one who offended you!"
As he said this, he pointed at Lin Qinghua.
On the other side, Mr. Lin still wanted to talk about the little Gu family. When he saw that Song Dekui ignored him and instead went to catch Lin Qingyuan, he rolled his eyes and shut up immediately.
When it comes to going to court for questioning, it's better for the concubine to go first.
Now seeing that this bastard is about to bite him out, he immediately lies back in the grass and pretends to be dead.
During the whole process, Lin Shouzhuo, the head of the Lin family, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if it had nothing to do with him.
On the other side of the female family, seeing that Lin Qingyuan was about to be taken away, all of them turned pale with fear.
Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and wiped her tears, and said bitterly: "My son is always abide by etiquette. I don't know who this dude offended outside, so that he caused this trouble to the family."
Lin Qingyuan was dragged out of the garrison office and stood on the street. He let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go to the inn, you stink!" Song Dekui covered his nose and fanned exaggeratedly with his hands.
Lin Qingyuan stopped joking at this time and said with a solemn expression: "Where is Miss Song? I have something to say!"
Guard the mansion.
Zhao Tinglei is no longer a Qianhu. Even if he takes off his armor and puts on his official uniform, he still can't change his fierce demeanor.
In front of him, sat two officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, two people responsible for supervising the life and death of hundreds of officials. At this time, their faces were full of respectful smiles.
Zhao Tinglei looked at the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was sitting half-assedly in front of him, and said with a smile: "You two sirs, you are welcome. As a minister, you should share the worries of the court.
If we can help the Zhenbei Army find the traitor who betrayed the military this time, I will express my gratitude to the Emperor for you two."
Mr. Zhou was immediately overjoyed. He bowed his hands and said, "With Mr. Zhao's words, this official will feel at ease."
He made no secret of his humbleness.
The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a fifth-rank imperial official, as was Zhao Tinlei, and he became a fifth-rank official from commanding thousands of soldiers, and he was promoted openly and secretly.
Lord Zhou knows that this fifth rank is already the highest official position in Yunzhou, it is now, and it will be in the future.
And the person he respects is not a fifth-grade official.
After the prince took charge of the country, Yunzhou officials were transferred frequently, especially the prefect before the city was unified directly returned to Beijing to plead guilty.
In order to prevent the local government from pinching the Northern Army's neck from happening again, the city was united and the army replaced the government, and the prefect was withdrawn, leaving only the garrison.
Already the supreme commander of one party, Zhao Tinglei was not at all proud of Zhou Zhan's respect, and even kept a lower profile.
The Empress Dowager's aunt, the Emperor's cousin, and another assistant, Duke An, made the Zhao family the most prosperous and wealthy family in the Wu Dynasty.
It’s so cold at high places!
After some pleasantries, Zhao Tinlei took out a tightly sealed brown paper bag and said solemnly: "Two adults, these are some documents I collected from the governor of Hecheng.
I'm a rough guy, and I'll just get dizzy just looking at this, so I'd better trouble you two to help analyze it."
Zhou Zhan and the other two hurriedly took the brown paper bag. They were used to this kind of bag.
I think when I first arrived in Qili County a month ago, I was very curious when I saw the paper bags.
In particular, county government offices also use this kind of paper bag, which is tightly sealed and sturdy in the hand, making it more convenient than the usual wooden boxes.
"You two adults must have received information from Jiang Feng. Disappearances of people have occurred frequently in Yunzhou in recent years. I used to only focus on military affairs and had no inconvenient involvement in civil affairs. Now I just feel ridiculous when I see these data."
Zhao Tinglei's eyes widened with anger, and he punched the table with his fist: "In the past ten years, there have been 500 people reported to the government alone, and most of them were middle-aged men.
You two adults should know that people who are abducted by the people are mostly women and children, rarely men."
Zhou Zhan and his colleagues looked at each other and said, "If you have any orders, Lord Guard, just tell me!"
Zhao Tinglei nodded in thanks: "I want the two adults to take the opportunity to investigate the Qi family's business dealings on the grounds that Lin Qinghua colluded with officials."
"This..." Zhou Zhan's expression changed drastically. The unopened document bag in his hand was like a hot brand, and the promise he just made was choked in his throat.
The assistant who was with him still spoke up: "Master Guards, we are leaving the capital under orders. The Emperor only asked to investigate the case of Lin Qinghua's collusion with officials, and did not talk about anything else."
Zhao Tinglei took back his hand on the case and said coldly: "If you saw those slaves who escaped, you wouldn't say such things!"
Clenched his fist and made a clicking sound.
Sweat suddenly broke out on Zhou Zhan's forehead.
Even though the Qi family is just a descendant of the Crown Princess, they are still relatives.
The Crown Princess has an extraordinary relationship with the Crown Princess.
Anyway, the relationship in the palace is complicated, so Zhao Tinlei doesn't care who he offends, but he has to go back to Beijing to make a living.
However, if he could rely on the big arm of An Guogong, he would also have a backer in the capital.
Zhou Zhan's eyes rolled rapidly: "Lord Guard, can you allow me to think about this?"
Zhao Tinglei did not force him and just stood up: "Anyway, there is still some time for the investigation in Pingyang Mansion. If you two adults are free, you can go to the west camp to have a look and you will definitely find the answer!"
Having said that, without waiting for the two censors' responses, he asked his guards to see the guests off.
As soon as the people left, an old man in cloth walked out from behind the curtain.
Zhao Tinglei didn't even look back: "Mr. Yu, do you think these two censors can also be won over by the Qi family?"
The commoner old man stroked his beard and said: "The Qi family will definitely take action.
Don't worry, my lord, the slaves sent back by the Third Young Master are bait, and it will be difficult for the Qi family not to bite the hook.
In addition, the Lin family can no longer be imprisoned in the prison and find a separate place in the yard. The Qi family will kill him and the master will deploy manpower to set up traps, a two-pronged approach."
Zhao Tinglei turned around with a stern look in his eyes.
The old man cupped his hands and said calmly: "Lord, this is also a move!"
Zhao Tinglei was a man who fought on the battlefield and fought countless big and small battles. A dozen lives meant nothing. He only concentrated slightly and said: "Abu just came to ask me for a man, so there is no need to capture him again."
The old man nodded: All he needs is the heads of the Lin family, and he doesn’t point to any specific ones. One more and one less doesn’t matter.
Immediately he said: "My lord, the people below have reported that the fiancée of the Third Young Master from Suijin Town has arrived in Hecheng. Do you want to arrange a meeting with her?"
As a competent staff member, he needs to consider everything.
Now that the Third Young Master is the Lord's right-hand man, he must help each other even more in the future. Don't miss the place where he can win people's hearts.
Zhao Tinglei waved his hand: "No need, she is not a noble girl, she is just a soldier from the Wu Dynasty with some courage.
Since Mrs. Wu Ya and the third brother are not picky, I, the elder brother, can’t say much.
On the other hand, the two imperial beauties in the backyard asked Madam to train them more and teach them to move more flexibly.
In recent years, the third brother has been reluctant to have anyone come to the house to sleep with him. He must have thought that those maids were vulgar and could not be looked down upon.
Nowadays, the girls selected from various places are different. They are good at singing and dancing, and have excellent talents.
When the third brother comes to the city, I, the older brother, will be able to get a gift of his own."
