I am a hereditary jailer, start to suppress the eldest princess

Asked: "These days, if I'm not in the capital, is something unusual happening?"

"No!" Xiao Mang shook his head.

"Supported by the huge cultivation resources left behind by you, my lord, the Divine Prison has developed rapidly. Your requirements are strictly implemented. As long as the elites and the absolutely loyal ones are there, no one else will be considered."

Chatted for a while.

Tell them that Zi'er will be in charge of the Divine Prison in the future, and then tell them to practice well. It is important to develop power, but it is also crucial to improve their own strength. Without absolute strength support, everything is a castle in the air.

Leave here and walk towards the Divine Sword Guard.

He is now the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. Logically speaking, he should report to the Divine Sword Guard on the day after the reward.

But there are many things at hand, and I have been busy until now, and I have no time until today.

Arrived at Excalibur Guard.

The guard at the gate, seeing him coming, saluted respectfully: "I've seen Lord Hou!"

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

Just a few steps away, Shen Yiming came out quickly, as if he was waiting for him, and greeted him with a smile: "Coming!"

"If I don't come here again, others will say that I don't do anything with my salary."

"Who dares?" Shen Yiming rolled his eyes.

"Master Thunder Sword is waiting for you."

The two entered Lei Yuantai's hall all the way.

in the hall.

Lei Yuantai sat on the main seat, saw him coming, walked down from the main seat, and warmly greeted him, "Here he is."

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

"I thought you would come over in two days, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Lei Yuantai laughed.

Warmly greet the two to sit down.

After chatting with the parents, we got down to business, and arranged the duties in charge of him again.

Lei Yuantai said again: "There is something just for you."

"You said."

"On the night of Jian Twelve's wedding, the household department was stolen, [-] million silver, and some treasures disappeared. We are responsible for this case. We have been investigating for a few days, but there is still no clue. I want to hand over You do it, what do you think?"

"This case does not seem to fall within the scope of my duties?"

"En." Lei Yuantai nodded.

"The deputy sword master who was in charge of this case has already been killed by the murderer. If you don't come here again, we will discuss and let other people take charge of this matter."

"A deputy sword master was killed? Why haven't I heard of this?" Xiao Ran frowned.

Shen Yiming rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then said, "You still have the nerve to say it? In the past few days, what are you busy with? Even if I want to find you, you don't have time."

Xiao Ran was speechless.

It's true that Shen Yiming approached him twice. He was really busy at that time and didn't have time to receive him, so he found a reason to decline.

Presumably it was because the household department was stolen and the deputy sword master was killed.

but.

They blocked the news very well. He had never heard of such a big thing.

"What do you think? If you don't want to take over, I'm arranging for someone else." Lei Yuantai said.

"Okay! I'm next." Xiao Ran nodded.

leave his palace.

The higher-ups wanted to change him to a new office space, but Xiao Ran refused, and it was still comfortable to live in the old yard.

Separated from Shen Yiming, he is also the deputy sword master, and he also has his own work to do, so he brought Xiao Zhou with him, and led a group of people to the household department.

On the road.

Xiao Zhou chirped and chattered like a bird, telling everything that happened to Shen Jianwei these days.

After listening.

Xiao Ran has counted, it is still the same as before, but more busy.

Especially after the state of Zhou was robbed, some martial arts masters of Zhou felt aggrieved and wanted to vent their anger on Daxia, so they sneaked into the capital to sabotage or kill people.

In the beginning, there was a lot of commotion, and Daxia was caught off guard, which indeed brought a lot of losses to Daxia. With the operation of the court, the five major departments including Excalibur Guard took over the matter, and the situation was better. These people suppressed them one after another.

"Brother Xiao, do you think this matter was done by people from the Xia Kingdom?" Xiao Zhou asked.

"Before the qualitative, everything is hard to say."

talking room.

Everyone has already arrived at the Ministry of Households. This is not the first time they have come here. Before this, Xiao Ran had come here twice, but each time they made trouble very unpleasantly.

Seeing the people of Shenjianwei coming, the current person in charge of the household department is Zuo Shilang, who immediately greeted him. He was just transferred from the Ministry of Rites. As for the original Hubu Shangshu and others, they were stolen along with the household department Afterwards, all of them were taken down and imprisoned in sky prisons.

That's why Xiao Ran didn't go to the sky prison these two days, otherwise he would know what happened here.

"I've seen Lord Hou!" Zuo Shilang saluted respectfully.

"Take Benhou to the warehouse."

"Master Hou, this way please!"

Under his leadership, they walked around and stopped at the warehouse.

The surrounding area was sealed off, and there was a seal on the gate. The scene was well protected. Even so, when the murderer left, he destroyed the scene. Judging from the present, no useful information could be obtained.

Xiao Ran stepped forward, checked them one by one, and then took off the seal, entered the warehouse, and checked again. He looked very carefully and did not miss every single place.

It took a while to check the warehouse.

"Does Brother Xiao have any clues?" Xiao Zhou asked impatiently.

Although he got married and matured a lot, but in front of his own people, he is still the same as before, and he can ask whatever he wants, and this has not changed.

"Go to the prison." Xiao Ran said.

Taking them away from the household department, Zuo Shilang wanted to ask something, but because his rank was too low, he didn't dare to ask at all.

To the dungeon.

Let the rest of the Excalibur Guards stay outside, and he and Xiao Zhou go in.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here together?" Zhang Yu hurriedly put down his teacup and walked up to meet him.

"It's about the household department." Xiao Ran said.

"Brother Xiao, the Excalibur Guard asked you to take charge of this matter?"

"Ah."

"A lot of people were arrested this time, including the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. A total of more than [-] people were arrested. They were all high-level officials of the Ministry of Accounting. It can be said that the Ministry of Accounting was wiped out. According to the requirements of the above, these people were all detained in the The eighth floor." Zhang Yu introduced.

"go!"

Take them to the eighth floor.

Sit on the chair and ask Zhang Yu to bring the Hubu Shangshu.

In the past, the high-ranking Hubu Shangshu was reduced to a prisoner overnight. He was imprisoned in the sky prison, still in the harsh environment of the eighth floor, and was tortured by the interrogators. For him, life is better than death. To be uncomfortable.

But if this matter is not resolved, he will be stigmatized for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will be stabbed in the back. Even his family members and the three clans will be killed. This is what he has been supporting s reason.

Being interrogated again, Hubu Shangshu no longer has any hope.

It has been a few days since the incident happened, but the people in the imperial court are good. They usually think of nothing more than bragging. When it comes to the critical moment, let them solve the case without showing any regulations.

So far, let alone the murderer, there are no clues.

Like a walking dead, he was brought over by Zhang Yu and stopped in front of Xiao Ran.

"Hou, Lord Hou?"

Hubu Shangshu's old eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly.

He had heard about Xiao Ran's name countless times, and he was there when the heavens canonized him in the hall.

Seeing him here, he also thought of Xiao Ran's other official position, the deputy sword master of the divine sword guard. In this way, isn't this matter entrusted to him?

Like a drowning child, seeing hope, it is the first time that he can get out of here.

"Sit." Xiao Ran pointed to the opposite chair.

A jailer pulled the chair away, and then unchained his hands and feet, allowing him to sit opposite.

He poured a cup out of the teapot and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you!" Tobu Shangshu was grateful.

After becoming a prisoner, he once again felt respected, and the person facing him was still Xiao Ran, a dignitary of Great Xia.

Drink the tea in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup, he asked seriously, "Master Hou came here for this matter?"

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

"This Marquis is now in charge of this matter, tell me everything you know."

Hubu Shangshu did not hide anything, and truthfully told what happened.

From what he said, it was the same day as usual, and nothing unusual happened, but in the middle of the night, people from the Divine Sword Guard broke in and arrested him and his family. Tell him that the household department was stolen, [-] million silver disappeared, and some precious treasures.

To him, this news is simply a nightmare, like a person sitting at home, and a disaster comes from the sky, knocking him from the sky to the dust all at once.

Done.

Hubu Shangshu looked at him quietly, not daring to disturb Xiao Ran's analysis.

"Take him down so he can take care of him." Xiao Ran ordered.

Zhang Yu waved his hand, and the jailer took him down.

When he disappeared, Xiao Zhou asked the doubts in his heart: "Brother Xiao, do you really believe him?"

The warehouse is guarded by formations, and no one knows the formations except him, but judging from the signs they checked, the formations are intact and have not been damaged by external forces. It is obvious that someone opened the formations and then entered it.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Whether a person is lying or not, you can tell by looking at his eyes. If he is really lying, no matter how much he hides, he will show his feet."

At his level, he has seen too many scenes. Whether a person is lying or not can be seen at a glance.

It was precisely because of this that he was asked to sit down and had the following instructions.

"Bring the left servant of the household department."

Chapter 422 Emperor Shengwen was poisoned by plum blossoms, and everyone present is the emperor!

soon.

Hubu Zuo Shilang was brought here. Compared with Hubu Shangshu, he was even more miserable, and his injuries were serious. It seems that he suffered a lot from being held in the prison.

Looking at the person sitting on the main seat, the panic flickered in the corner of his eyes, and he recovered quickly.

There was a huge wave in my heart, and I thought in disbelief, how could the higher up let him take over this matter?

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, even if Xiao Ran only came back recently, when he was in the capital, there was no case that he took over that could not be solved. Many people fell into his hands, even Zuo Cheng was quite He did it.

He has a strong self-cultivation, ruthless means, and he is backed by the big tree of the eldest princess.

He tried his best to appear calm, and decided in his heart that no matter how he interrogated him later, he must carry it through and never open his mouth.

Xiao Ran glanced at him indifferently, seeing his expression in his eyes. He thought he was hiding it well, but the panic in the corners of his eyes just now did not escape his eyes.

With a wave of the palm, someone tied him to the iron frame, and said indifferently: "You know Ben Hou, so I won't introduce you much."

"Master Hou, it's wrong to be an official, you must see clearly."

"In this situation, do you still want to argue?"
