Chapter 99 Close the Net (3)

Ten sticks to kill power, Liu Yun really didn't come with Lai Guojin.

People pulled outside the hall, and above the hall, only muffled noises could be heard outside, and it really hit the flesh if you think about it.

The faces of the jurors were all different, it wasn't pain, what did it have to do with Lai Guojin being hit by the stick?

If it hurts, the face behind Lai Guojin hurts.

But they were terrified—there was something wrong with today's trial.

There are only two places for local military manufacturing: one is the Military Weapons Bureau, and the other is the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau.

The former is directly under the imperial court, and the latter is privately owned by the people.

Therefore, the work of this miscellaneous manufacturing bureau is not something that anyone can take over, not to mention the profits from the exclusive monopoly of arms manufacturing, even if there is no backer behind it, it is impossible to receive such a large portion of the job Business.

That Lai Guojin has long been a respectable member of the Huai'an mansion, and he has the reputation of a scholar, not to mention rampant, whoever met him in the past had to be polite?

Today Liu Yun said he would fight, not only because the source of the hidden weapon was traced back to the Miscellaneous Bureau.

All the people in the hall, those who are ignorant of the basis are confused, but those who understand have already understood——

If the thieves stole from the Miscellaneous Bureau, it’s okay to say that the relevant people are nothing more than responsible for the mismanagement, but the question is: who would go to the Miscellaneous Bureau to go to the Miscellaneous Bureau to steal a few bags of pig iron?
Therefore, there seems to be only one most likely situation: the thief took the iron piece out of the miscellaneous bureau smoothly, even swaggeringly.

That would be troublesome: chasing and killing imperial officials, hiding gunpowder and other military weapons privately, the hooking behind the back may be enough to double the entire Huai'an Mansion.

Whispering behind his back, Cao Kaihe looked particularly ugly.

The knuckle of the index finger in the sleeve was tightly pressed against the jade finger on the thumb, and he tried his best to hold back his anger.

How deep did he bury Lai Guojin's thread?
So deep that even the people in the Linqing uncle's mansion have never seen them interact!Only a well-informed seventh aunt, but she is very obedient and never dares to publicize it.

Then Liu Yun is just his pawn in the past, how could he come into contact with such secrets?

But with today's posture, if it is said that the secret has not been leaked, even Cao Kaihe himself dare not believe it.

So, how to fix it next?If Xu Ming is still there... If Xu Ming is still there, at least there is someone who knows everything and can discuss it in time!

Shen Huai calmly looked away from Cao Kaihe.

He has been observing everyone's reactions.

This morning, he had already asked Su Ya carefully again, and he had more or less an outline of Lai Guojin's front-line connections in his heart. At this time, he chatted with a servant who poured tea, and gradually picked up a few people from the crowd. Personal faces are remembered.

Among them are Sun Changqing, the magistrate of Huai'an, and the county magistrate of Shanyang County.

These two people are also very interesting at this time. If their eyes were visible, they must have turned Cao Kaihe's head to look at each other. It's a pity that these two people secretly glanced at Cao Kaihe for a long time, but they always had to be as immobile as a mountain. At this time, although they could still hold back the anxiety on their faces, they couldn't sit still under their buttocks. They changed their postures, as if there were lice that needed to be scratched.

The corners of Shen Huai's mouth slightly bent, and his body turned slightly, he whispered to Qian Yushi who was sitting upright on the side: "Master Qian, I am not familiar with all the adults in this hall, look at the two opposite, but they are the magistrate Sun of Huai'an Prefecture , and Wuzhi County in Shanyang County?"

Qian Yushi looked in the direction, nodded and said: "It is indeed Sun Changqing, but I have never met the one in Shanyang County."

"Haven't you ever come into contact with it?" Shen Huai was surprised: "I heard that during the Lantern Festival, the three yamen of Li Xing, Huai'an Mansion and Shanyang County arrested many people on trumped-up charges and filled the three prisons. It was full, and the people were panicked, and it was Mr. Qian, who was upright, angrily denounced the three families, and finally rescued the innocent people...how come you don’t know each other?"

When this matter was mentioned, Qian Yushi's face became brighter, but he shook his head and waved his hands, denying it quietly.

"My lord Shen, the rumors cannot be completely believed. Although the official is responsible, he can't go up and reprimand the three families." He already admired Shen Huai very much, and since he and Shen Huai went through the tidal flat life and death together that night, he regarded Shen Huai as if he had forgotten his age. My best friend didn't have any intention of putting on a show at all, so he laughed in a low voice at this moment: "Mou Qian is not that strong, what's the point of arguing with them?"

He raised his eyebrows up, seeming to mean something, "Xiaguan would rather push up, and die well."

This movement appeared on his always noble and serious face, and his demeanor was instantly alive and funny.

Shen Huai couldn't help but pursed his lips, raised his hand and coughed lightly, finally covering up the almost defenseless smile, then nodded solemnly, and said: "Master Qian must be very familiar with the art of war." .”

"No, no." Qian Yushi picked up the teacup, skimmed the foam, and pretended to drink, but raised his hand and said in a low voice: "I am afraid that the general sent troops in the punishment hall today. .”

Oh, there are quite a few people who understand.

Shen Huai nodded slightly, he never took his eyes off the opposite side, and finally waited for the two people on the opposite side to look back at this time, he smiled and nodded at them, smiling very kindly, but the person opposite was inexplicably creepy .

This day's proud son heard that he was seriously injured. Look at him, his arms are still wrapped, but he has forgotten the night of fright?What are you laughing at now?Could it be that Lai Guojin has been identified as the cause of trouble, and now he feels the pleasure of revenge?
The two are also parents and officials of one party, and because they work in Huai'an City, they have to be suppressed in all aspects, with Caodu and Linqing uncle on top of their heads, it can be said that they are trying to survive in the cracks.

They had made too much publicity about the previous arrest of Liu Sandian, and they were shocked enough by Qian Yushi's "points". It is too reckless.

Now being laughed at by Shen Huai again, he shrank his head in the tortoise shell, resolutely keeping his head down.

Shen Huai nodded and smiled with satisfaction, the smile was more sincere - well, the protagonists of today's opera are used to calling people, so it is better to avoid the insignificant people, otherwise it will be very tiring if the play is dragged on for too long .

This side is setting up a stage for the show, and Lai Guojin's side has also finished beating. The winter coat is thick, so he won't have a cushion, so he took off the coat and put a stick on it. The beating was solid, just look When he was put on the rack, at least his legs had finally softened.

After being pampered for a long time, one's ambition will also dissipate.

Lai Guojin's face was still pale, but his eyes were weak, "I really don't know the origin of this pig iron!"

I don't know?

I don't know, is it still difficult to check now?
Liu Yun sneered, and went to the Miscellaneous Bureau to bring all relevant people here.

Feihong printed snow, ruts and horse tracks, not to mention a batch of heavy pig iron.

As long as they had appeared in the Miscellaneous Bureau, it was impossible that only an old Zhao who was in charge had seen them.

It takes time to pick someone up, but Liu Yun didn't even let this idle time go by.

A yamen servant who was in charge of the punishment was pushed in, knelt down at the door, and confessed that he had received bribes, communicated news to the outside world, and helped outsiders change the temporary soldiers.

Who gave the bribe?Who did it go to again?
The yamen servant's voice was very clear: "The Chief of Water Transport, Uncle Linqing."
