Zhao Hao is not a person who is afraid of things, but this time he was really frightened.
"These two account books are really terrible. Once they are leaked, thousands of people will be at risk, and you will definitely be dead."
Those wealthy merchants and wealthy families represented by "Peach Blossom Mountain", "Nine Dragon Mountain" and "Guishan Mountain" will definitely eat the leaked people alive, crush their bones and raise them to ashes.
After thinking about it, he found that the only option was to refuse to admit the account - this account book is not with me at all, I have never seen it, let's see if this can fool him.
After thinking about the response, he first extracted important information from the two account books, such as the mountain code names, the bank information, the names of the people receiving and making payments
And for safety reasons, this coward is speaking in English.
For example, Jiulong Mountain is written as ¡®jiulongmountain¡¯, Peach Blossom Mountain is written as ¡®peachhill¡¯¡
When he finished copying, he threw the two ledgers into the stove with trembling hands.
The gold seal could not be destroyed for the time being, so Zhao Hao could only hide it properly for later disposal.
After doing all this, he called Gao Wu, Cai Ming and that so-and-so in and explained the interests and risks to them carefully. Let them know that what is more terrifying than death is to reveal last night's secret.
"The three of them all understand the truth. This is the first time they have seen the young master look like a dishonest person. They don't know the seriousness of the problem and swear that even if they die, they will not reveal a word."
"Hey, go ahead" Zhao Haoran nodded sadly, thinking that according to the routine of costume dramas, the three of them should be silenced
It¡¯s just that Mr. Zhao currently has neither the ability nor the ruthlessness to do so.
When Gao Wu walked to the door, Zhao Hao remembered something and ordered: "By the way, send the thief to the Daxing County government office at dawn. Just say that he came to steal something last night, and you shot him in the buttocks, and then his accomplices scared him away." No need to say much else."
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if someone breaks in at night, it is not illegal to kill him on the spot, let alone shoot him
Gao Wu nodded and gave the young master a comforting smile.
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and nodded: "Don't worry, everything will pass."
??~~
At dawn, Gao Wu followed his instructions and took two men to carry the tortured half-dead thief to the Daxing County Government Office.
When the county officials heard that someone dared to break into the residence of a third-rank official at night and steal, they immediately reported it to the county magistrate.
The elder was also shocked. No matter what the case was, as long as it involved a big shot, it would be a major case. It must be handled as a major matter. Regardless of whether the case can be solved or not, the attitude must be correct first.
So he immediately ordered the government officials to take the prisoner to the second hall and prepare for questioning.
But who would have thought that as soon as he set up his posture and before he could use the killing stick, his staff came over and whispered in a low voice: "Guan Ni from Shuntian Mansion is here."
"Come here, don't you see I'm asking a question?" The elder didn't feel too happy after hearing this.
Although Shuntian Mansion is in charge of all aspects of the county, according to the rules of the officialdom, government officials should not come to the county government. Everything must be communicated through official documents to avoid overly interfering in the official affairs of the county.
??Especially in this situation where the prefecture and county are together with Guo, it is even more important to avoid suspicion.
"He came here just for this case" The staff member lowered his voice and said, "It is the order of Mr. Fu Yin."
"Oh?" Hearing that it was the order from the dignified third-grade Shuntian Prefecture, the elder finally relented.
¡°Detain the prisoner first, and I will try again later.¡± He slapped the crowd in shock and said, ¡°Retreat!¡±
The officers looked at each other in confusion, thinking to themselves, what happened to the great master today? He has already laid out everything, but where are you playing with others?
We had no choice but to take the prisoner into custody first, and then find a doctor to treat his wounds, so as not to die in court again.
??~~
After leaving the court, the magistrate hurried back to his room where he was held in custody. Sure enough, he saw Ni Tuiguan from Shuntian Prefecture sitting on the official hat chair outside waiting for him.
The officials and Zhixian County is a flat -level seven officials else. If the new science jinshi who uses the list is released, most of them start their careers from these two seats.
But Shuntian Prefecture is a capital city and Daxing County is a capital county. The situation is different - the officials in Shuntian Prefecture are one level higher than those elsewhere, from the sixth grade. The magistrate of Daxing County is two levels higher than elsewhere, and is the sixth grade.
Therefore, Ni Tuiguan stood up and saluted the magistrate politely.
"I'm going to pay my respects to Qiu Lingyin." Only the magistrate of Jingxian County can be called "Lingyin".
"The account manager is a rare guest," Qiu Zhixian then had a smile on his face.After watching tea, he and Ni Tuiguan took their seats as guests of honor.
"I don't know if the accountant is here today. What's the point of doing it?"
" Zhanggan is the elegant name for the official, although I don't know where the elegance is"
"It's business." Ni Tuiguan smiled and handed a letter to Qiu Zhixian: "By order of the Ming Dynasty, the thief who robbed Zhao Zhongcheng's house last night was brought to Shuntian Mansion for interrogation."
"Oh?" Magistrate Qiu hurriedly took the letter seriously and saw an order scrawled on it, using the private seal of Lord Fu Yin instead of the official seal of Shuntian Prefecture.
"Isn't this illegal?" Qiu Zhixian was a bit embarrassed. When the government transfers people from the county, it needs to issue a formal transfer document.
"Hasn't the county not yet brought him to court?" Ni Tuiguan smiled and said: "The government has taken over the case of the theft of the Nanzhili Juzi, so let's just pretend that the government has taken the person directly."
But who can be the magistrate of Wenjing County, who doesn¡¯t have a delicate heart, and can detect the unusual flavor when hearing the words - usually there is no blame-shifting between prefectures and counties, at least Shuntian Prefecture does not, so Take the initiative to ask the county to transfer the case.
Sometimes the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would come down to urge them, but Shuntian Prefecture would follow the instructions step by step and remain unmoved
Shuntian Prefecture Yin is a member of the third rank, and he is not an ordinary third rank.
?????????????? Generally, the third-rank yamen use copper seals, but the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, like the governor, uses the silver official seal, and is regarded as a feudal official.
Therefore, Mr. Fu Yin only needs to be responsible to His Majesty the Emperor and obey a few big bosses such as the Chief Assistant, Tianguan, and Zongxian.
How could such a distinguished Lord Fu Yin be so concerned about such a trivial matter?
¡°I¡¯m afraid there is some serious involvement behind this case, which is why the government¡¯s behavior is so abnormal
Thinking of this, the county magistrate did not dare to meddle in other matters. He stood up quickly and lowered his voice: "I will obey the order of the Ming Dynasty."
"Thank you very much for your understanding. I will surely be rich in rewards in the future." Ni Tuiguan breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Zhixian wrote a note and asked his staff to take Officer Ni to take away the prisoners who had just been detained.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Ni Tui Guan taking two men directly carried the thief into the carriage from the back door and drove away.
The staff curled their lips and thought to themselves, is this the rhythm of releasing criminals privately?
Because Shuntian Government Office and Daxing County Government Office are right across the street, if you really want to go to the Government Office, there is no need to take a carriage? It saves trouble to lift it directly with the door panel.
"I just don't know how a little thief with an arrow in his butt can have such great dignity that he wants to let a dignified official from Shuntian Prefecture come and give him a back door."
What is surprising is that when a small staff member of his returned to his residence, he seriously wrote down the small note on a small piece of paper, and did not know which god he wanted to report to.
