In the front hall of Jining Hall, Shen Hexi was wearing the prince's light-yellow official uniform, sitting on the main seat, while Yan Nu and Linghu were standing on both sides.All the officials stood in the hall according to their ranks.There were no servants in the hall, but eight vicious personal guards stood there.These eight people were all selected by Shen Hexi himself, and they were all looking for those with extremely fierce faces, which made people feel deeply scared at any stop.

Liu Zhifu took a step forward alone, and bowed his hands to Shen Hexi. Just now when Shen Hexi said that his food was poisoned, he asked subconsciously.As soon as this sentence was finished, his mind was broken, and he said the wrong thing.

He has been sending people to watch the palace, but recently Shen Hexi was busy repairing the other courtyard and building the so-called shed, and there was no other change, so he took it lightly.When he asked just now, he did it just once, and now it's too late to regret it.

"I believe everyone knows the person who hurt me. Come here and bring Cao Tong to justice." Shen Hexi's voice was immature, but with majesty. He is still very good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. , but this momentum cannot be lost.

Before Cao Tongpan could be pushed up, the officials below were already sweating coldly on their foreheads.Cao Tongpan added ingredients to Shen Hexi's ice, and they all knew about it.Now that they said that he poisoned the prince's dishes, they also understood that Shen Hexi was probably talking nonsense with his eyes open.But even if Shen Hexi lied, these courtiers would not dare to tell the truth.

Cao Tongjuan, who was dragged to the front hall by two personal guards, had been tortured and whipped so badly that he couldn't see a human figure.The guards threw him to the ground, but he could only lie on his stomach, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Only a few days after I came to Dunliang City, this Cao Tongpan poisoned my vegetables and polluted several vegetables in my ice cellar. Do you think this Cao Tongpan should be killed? Everyone in the palace, With hundreds of people, how will we live this winter." Shen Hexi said lightly.

"My minister has no way to rule. I beg the lord to save Cao Tongsan's life for the sake of his dedication to the people of Dunliang City." Liu Zhifu saw that Cao Tongsan was beaten like this, and he was afraid that he would recruit everything.If he died, it would be a one-and-done death, anyway, Shen Hexi's troubles would not be found on him.

But now that Cao Tong was sentenced to half-dead, he could only bite the bullet and beg Shen Hexi to spare his life.Cao Tongpan's younger sister is his concubine, she even knows where his secret room is, if he doesn't protect Cao Tongpan and his sister reveals what she knows, he won't have to live.

If he had known that today he would not be greedy for Cao Tongjuan's younger sister's beauty, now that he has caused such a big trouble for himself, he must try his best to save her first.

Do your best?Shen Hexi snorted coldly, Liu Zhifu was so embarrassed to say.

"Prefect Liu, you have a thicker skin than a city wall. Do you know how Cao Tongpan recruited you?" Shen Hexi continued with a slight raise of the corners of his lips, "Put Cao Tongpan up and let him tell himself, who ordered him to give to this king?" Poisoned."

The two guards got the order and stepped forward to set up Cao Tongjuan, one of them asked loudly, "The prince is asking, who ordered you to poison the prince."

Cao Tongjuan, who was beaten half to death, his eyes were red, he raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at Liu Zhifu, "My lord, it's Liu Zhifu, it's all Liu Zhifu's idea, the villain is just an errand."

Seeing Cao Tong pointing at him like an idiot, Zhifu Liu on the side wanted to step up and give him a kick. He had just said that he would protect him, and his brain would not be broken, so he even bit him out. Could this be the case? Can you save your life?Will Shen Hexi let him go?He can only save his life if he stands with him. Now that he bites himself out, neither of them can live.

Liu Zhifu knelt down with a thud, and said with tears, "My lord has learned from you, even if I have the courage, I would not dare to murder my lord."

"Yeah, you don't dare to murder me, you just murdered the common people." Shen Hexi rolled his eyes at Liu Zhifu, and with a wave of the chubby hand, two more guards came in, and they both carried a wooden box in.

Seeing the wooden box, Liu Zhifu was stunned. This wooden box was used to hold silver in his secret room, how could it be here.

I also have to ask Yan Nu, there are too many ledgers, and he has nothing to put them in, so he can only get materials nearby, and use the wooden box used to hold the small ingots to hold the ledgers.

"Show all the adults, this is the account book written by Liu Zhifu himself, and the content is very exciting." Shen Hexi did not have a trace of anger on his face from the beginning to the end, and he kept smiling lightly, as if he was watching a good show.

The officials, whose faces were covered in cold sweat, carefully wiped the sweat off their faces. Some of them lacked concentration, and their trembling hands couldn't even open the ledger.

"Lord Liu, what do you think after reading these books? Do you still dare to say that you and Cao Tongpan have dedicated your life to the common people? You dare to covet this king's money for repairing the palace. What else do you dare to say?" Suddenly, with a bang, Shen Hexi smashed the teacup at his hand in front of Mr. Liu, and the shards of the teacup slid across his cheeks.

Liu Zhifu, who was already in a panic, knelt on the ground and shouted, "I beg you to learn from me, these books must have been deliberately forged by someone who wanted to frame me. I have been an official for many years, and I have always kept Aoki's law in mind, and I dare not go beyond it." One step from Lei Chi."

As if what he said was true, Shen Hexi complained silently in his heart.

"Liu Zhifu is really eloquent, then do you dare to let me search your mansion?" Before Liu Zhifu came, he lined up a bunch of people to surround Liu's mansion tightly.As for the servants and guards in Liu's mansion, he had already sent someone to subdue them.Even if Liu Zhifu now has a hundred eyes and a hundred mouths, he can't deny it.

"This, this." Liu Zhifu said for a long time, "I am not afraid that the prince will search the house, but what if the prince can't find evidence." Liu Zhifu has been an official for many years, and he has never seen any big storms. , a new strategy has formed in his mind.

"How about it? If you can't find out your embezzlement of money, this prince will be yours." Shen Hexi stood up, but he wanted to see what other tricks Liu Zhifu had.

"I don't dare." The minister said that he didn't dare, but on Liu Zhifu's face, there was no expression of dare.

"Let's go, everyone, let's go and see if this king can find the money in Liu's house." With the support of Yan Nu, Shen Hexi got off his chair. government.

Dunliang City is not small, and it is quite a distance to walk from Wang's Mansion to Liu's Mansion, but Shen Hexi did not choose to take a carriage, but walked directly with people.They are a group of people walking on the street, they will definitely attract people's onlookers.Without the effort of a cup of tea, all the people in Dunliang City knew that the new Lord Shen wanted to search the mansion of Liu Zhifu, and the news of Liu Zhifu's embezzlement of money was spreading as fast as wings.

How could the common people not watch such things as arresting corrupt officials? Before Shen Hexi and the others reached Liu's mansion, a long tail followed behind them.

Shen Hexi whispered to Linghu Zheng who was beside him, "Mr. Linghu, you really have done things like a god, and the prefect Liu actually agreed to search the mansion."

"Old ministers always know how to judge people. Prefect Liu is just a villain. He is probably still daydreaming." Linghu followed Shen Hexi proudly.He had only been here for a few days, and he felt that he was with the right person. Shen Hexi was a weird kid, and he liked him very much.He used to live with his hands tied all day long in Yong'an City, but now that he has come to Dunliang City, he can finally flex his muscles beside Shen Hexi, instead of wearing a mask and doing things he doesn't like all day long.

The road has an end, no matter how much Liu Zhifu didn't want to go home, he still couldn't stop Shen Hexi's footsteps.None of the janitors in front of Liu's mansion were there, instead there were a few of Shen Hexi's personal guards standing there.Liu Zhifu closed his eyes and comforted himself, Shen Hexi would not move so quickly to deal with his guards, they must have retreated to the mansion when they saw someone coming.

"I'll just stand here with the adults and wait." Shen Hexi didn't enter Liu's residence, but stopped in front of Liu's residence.

"Won't your lord come into the mansion to have a look in person?" Liu Zhifu asked indifferently.

"No, I'll just wait here with all the adults. It's better for Liu Zhifu to be here too." Shen Hexi is small, much smaller than adults like them, so as not to raise his head when talking, He has sat on Yan Nu's shoulders.All officials have to look up when they talk to him.

Liu Zhifu knew that Shen Hexi would not enter the mansion, so he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord won't let me watch the guards search the mansion by myself. If someone framed me, what should I do if I hide the money in my mansion."

"Well, that's a problem. Shen Fang, you bring Zeng and Lu to go in together. That's okay. Both of them are your colleagues, so they won't hurt you." Shen Hexi said with a good temper .He won't go into this Liu's mansion. According to Linghuzheng, corrupt officials usually have secret compartments in their homes for self-defense.In case Liu Zhifu also has it in his study or dormitory, he will not be used as a target if he goes in.

Seeing that Shen Hexi would not go in, Liu Zhifu only sent two notices, his heart was cold, he was doomed.Had he known that he was so cautious, he would not have taken the risk of bringing him here.Now that he is well, he has become a fish on the chopping board, and he can only be rubbed by him.

Shen Hexi and Linghuzheng had taken all emergencies into consideration long ago, lured magistrate Liu into the trap, and searched the mansion in front of so many people, in order to help Shen Hexi wash away the stains on his body.In the past, Liu Zhifu searched for people's fat and people's anointing, but they all used his banner.

There were not many guards who went in to search the mansion, and the people inside had already been controlled, and they went in just to make a show for everyone to see.Zeng informed to follow the guards, the clothes on Daqiu's body had already been soaked with sweat, and he informed an official of Zhimada that now he was sent by the prince to supervise the guards' search, it would be better to say that the guards suppressed them Visit, guard and search the house.

All the servants and maids in Liu's mansion were driven to the front yard, several guards seemed to have used force against Shen Hexi's personal guards, some of them were already tied with thick ropes.A group of female family members of Liu Zhifu were also guarded. It seems that this posture is not as simple as just searching the house.
