When the study door is closed again.

Yi Haiyuan's originally gloomy face instantly darkened.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The back of the hand is even covered with veins.

It can be seen how uneasy Yi Haiyuan felt deep inside at this time.

"Bang!"

Yi Haiyuan suddenly raised his fists and slammed them on the desk.

The four treasures of the study were so shocked that they all flew into the air and punched high.

Looking at the slightly messy desk.

Yi Haiyuan sat down on the Taishi chair with a gloomy expression.

Breathing heavily.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, one of which is the Wenxuanqing Li Division, which is in charge of the rank, promotion, transfer and other matters of civil servants.

As the chief officer of the Civil Affairs Department, how could he have been so embarrassed and cautious?

But so what?

When Xu Yi raised the butcher's knife, what else could he do besides hiding at home and being helpless and furious?

Go out and unite with allies to discuss countermeasures?

Not to mention whether his allies had any countermeasures, just because it was still dark at this time, he could not step out of the house.

Without him, no one wants to expose themselves to the sun at the cusp of the storm.

Going to allies at this time is tantamount to telling Jingzhao Mansion that there is something wrong in his heart.

"Huh~!"

Yi Haiyuan sat slumped on the Taishi chair, stared blankly at the slightly bright window sill, and exhaled heavily.

There had never been a moment when he felt so disgusted with the sun as he did now.

There are no fewer than a hundred people like Yi Haiyuan in the entire Chang'an City at this moment.

On Guangdefang Street.

A group of ordinary people formed a circle, whispering and pointing in the circle.

Just as many people gathered in a circle with various expressions on their faces to watch the excitement.

Four fast horses suddenly drove up the street not far away, and one of them was pressing down on a young man dressed as a waiter.

: "The yamen servant is here, everyone, please give way."

: "Let's go, let's go quickly when the government officials come!"

: "Why are you leaving? Master Yi has already said that this man broke into the inner house without permission and dared to resist when he was discovered. That's why he was beaten to death by his servants. What does it have to do with us?"

: "That's right, I haven't seen enough excitement yet. Zizizi, at this age, can he still do it?"

: "Huh! Li Dongjia, does this mean you are no longer able to survive?"

: "Gungun, you can't survive! Your whole family can't survive!"

Seeing that the two people who were watching were about to fight, the people around who were watching the excitement and didn't mind the matter couldn't help but get angry and make a fuss.

Huo Chenghu sat on his horse, looking at the people forming a circle in front of him, and couldn't help but frown.

He yelled loudly: "The Ministry of Punishment is doing business, and all the idle people are waiting to get out of here!"

Hearing the word "Ministry of Punishment", the faces of the people who were making a fuss could not help but change, and they dispersed towards both sides of the street.

Even the two members of the Li Dong family, who were burning with anger, forcibly suppressed the anger in their hearts and quickly dispersed towards both sides.

Without him, they might not be afraid if it was an ordinary yamen servant, but if it was a yamen servant from the Ministry of Justice, it would be different.

In an instant, the originally dense circle instantly dissipated without a trace.

The body of a middle-aged man was left lying alone on the street.

The body was covered with dark brown blood.

Huo Chenghu frowned, gently clamped the horse's belly and moved forward slowly.

After seeing the corpse's clothes clearly, his brows couldn't help but frown deeper.

He turned to look at the yamen guard who was escorting the man, and said in a deep voice: "Let him go down and identify the person."

"Yes!" The Yamen servant responded loudly, then quickly turned over and dismounted.

He pulled the escorted merchant clerk off his horse.

"Go and see if you recognize the man on the ground." The officer ordered in a deep voice.

The merchant's clerk walked tremblingly towards the body lying on the ground. As soon as he got closer, he yelled and collapsed on the ground.

He kept screaming: "It's our shopkeeper! It's our shopkeeper!"

Hearing this, Huo Chenghu couldn't help but get off his horse.

.

He walked quickly towards the corpse, his right hands formed sword fingers, and he directly reached for the corpse's neck.

This move was naturally not to see if the corpse was still alive, but to determine the time of death of the corpse based on its temperature.

As Huo Chenghu, who has climbed up from the bottom, this kind of manipulation is not a problem.

"Within two quarters of an hour." Huo Chenghu murmured in a low voice.

Then he suddenly took off all the clothes on the corpse and took a closer look.

After this inspection, it was easy to find the stick wounds on his back and legs.

Huo Chenghu calmly covered the corpse with his clothes.

Then he stood up and looked at the people watching on both sides.

He shouted loudly and asked: "Who cares about human life?!"

The words are over.

The people who were watching all retreated one after another. It is not a small crime to take human life lightly.

"Don't tell me?" Huo Chenghu sneered and shouted: "I will give you three breaths. If you don't tell me, take them all away! When we get to the Penal Department Prison, I will see if you tell us or not!"

After he finished speaking, there was no time for the crowd to become commotion.

Huo Chenghu hurriedly added loudly: "Don't even think about escaping! I have already memorized the faces of some people! Try to run away? See if I will come to your home to pick up the person. @·无码first~~"

To say that he had memorized everything would be tantamount to bragging, and no one would believe Huo Chenghu's lies.

But if it is said that the appearance of some people has been recorded, then the matter is really big.

No one dares to ensure that the person whose appearance Huo Chenghu wrote down is not him.

This matter has nothing to do with anyone. If you get angry because of it, you will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes.

In an instant, dozens of people stood up and told everything they knew.

When there are many people, the mouths become confused and the voices buzz, as if mosquitoes are whispering in the ears.

It seemed that everything was said, but in fact Huo Chenghu couldn't hear anything clearly.

"Crack!" sound!

Huo Chenghu slammed the riding crop in his hand, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, calm down!"

In an instant, dozens of people looked at Huo Chenghu in surprise.

Huo Chenghu pointed at someone and said loudly, "Tell me."

The person who was pointed out was the man named Li Dongjia.

Li Dongjia's body trembled. He said it more cheerfully than anyone else when fishing in troubled waters.

When he was allowed to speak alone, he was too timid to make a single sound.

"Huh?" Huo Chenghu snorted and looked angrily.

He doesn't want to do this, but if he doesn't, God knows when he will get the information he wants.

However, there are still three or four commercial banks in his hands that he has not caught yet, so how can he be willing to waste time here.

Li Dongjia staggered and finally managed to regain his balance.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Huo Chenghu, and said with a trembling voice: "Return to... Sir, I asked... I saw with my own eyes that it was Yi Zhai's servant who threw this man on the street. Up."

"And...and those servants also said...they also said that this person was beaten to death for trespassing into Master Yi's inner house!"

Huo Chenghu frowned when he heard this and murmured in a low voice: "Yizhai, Mr. Yi, broke into the inner house without permission." "

Huo Chenghu naturally knew who Master Yi was.

And if you break into the inner house without permission, you can actually beat him to death according to the laws of Dazhou.

However, Huo Chenghu checked the injuries on the body in advance, as well as the person's identity.

Obviously, the story behind this is not as simple as Master Yi's servant said.

Huo Chenghu came back to his senses and took a deep look in the direction of Yi Zhai.

Then he asked several people again and waited until all the answers were consistent.

Without saying a word, Huo Chenghu turned and walked towards the horse.

After getting on his horse, he ordered the officer next to him: "Take the body away."

The yamen servant looked puzzled, but there were too many people at the moment to ask more questions.

It doesn't take a while.

Several people walked out of Guangdefangfangmen.

The yamen officer could no longer control his curiosity and asked in a low voice: "Sir, Master Yi obviously has a problem, why don't we go.

Check, if you can find out something, wouldn't it be considered a great achievement? "

Huo Chenghu turned his head and glanced at the officer beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Do you understand?"

The officer's expression paused, and he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "Yes, I know my mistake."

He saw several government officials secretly looking at him from time to time, their eyes full of confusion.

Huo Chenghu sighed and said in a low voice: "You will know in a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Chenghu clamped the horse's belly violently, and the horse quickly ran towards the distance.

Upon seeing this, the three cronies quickly suppressed all curiosity and followed silently.

It's not because Huo Chenghu doesn't want to make meritorious deeds.

In fact, there is not enough evidence in hand.

If there was sufficient evidence, he would want to capture Yi Haiyuan more than anyone else.

Taking down one Yi Haiyuan is better than taking down countless trading houses!

It doesn't take a while.

Three cronies chased Huo Chenghu with one person and one body.

Huo Chenghu turned his head slightly and glanced at the body lying on the horse.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he speeded up and headed to the next square.

The reason why Huo Chenghu was able to climb up from the bottom was partly because of his own ability, and partly because of his deep understanding of how to behave.

With this corpse around, he could get an unexpected small reward no matter what.

If he had acted rashly just now, let alone a small contribution, his value in Xu Yi's eyes might be greatly reduced.

Without him, if he acts without authorization, the most taboo thing for those in power is for subordinates to disobey orders and act on their own initiative without authorization.

The second reason is that he has done something wrong. @·No mistake first release~~

God knows what Xu Yi's plans will be in the future. If he acts without authorization, he will alert the enemy, which will then affect Xu Yi's subsequent plans.

Then, you don't have to think about it to know what your end will be.

It was precisely because he understood this that Huo Chenghu ignored the follow-up.

...

This day, for some people, is destined to be full of bloodshed.

Dusk.

Jingzhao Mansion's massive arrest operation gradually came to an end as time went by.

A large number of government officials escorted countless suspects dressed as clerks and shopkeepers into the Jingzhao Mansion.

The originally large prison in Jingzhao Mansion was now overcrowded.

When Huo Chenghu escorted the last batch of suspects to Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

The extremely long road outside the Jingzhao Mansion Prison was already full of people.

It is really difficult to move even an inch.

Huo Chenghu looked dull for a moment.

Then he looked at the government servant beside him and said, "Wait here!"

The words are over.

Huo Chenghu stretched out his hand and nodded to the two government officials and ordered: "Carry the body and follow me to the lobby to recover."

"Yes!" The two trusted aides nodded loudly in response.

It doesn't take a while.

Three people and one corpse walked to the lobby platform.

Huo Chenghu paused and explained.

Then he straightened his clothes and strode towards the platform.

As soon as Fang stepped into the lobby, he saw three people sitting at the bottom.

And those three people were clearly the leaders of the third squad under Jingzhao Mansion.

But the one above was empty.

The leader of the third class quickly stood up and said: "I'll pay my respects to Mr. Huo!"

Huo Chenghu waved his hand slightly, and then asked: "Is Master Zhang not back yet?"

Qu Jingyi, the leader of the fast class, quickly replied after hearing this: "Go back to Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhang has not returned yet."

Huo Chenghu nodded slightly, and then asked: "How are you doing with your errands?"

Qu Jingyi cupped his hands and smiled: "Although there were twists and turns, it was still smooth."

Huo Chenghu nodded when he heard this, and then sat down in the seat in front of him.

Compared with the officials of the Ministry of Justice, the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture know the roads of Chang'an City many times better.

The leader of the third shift completed the same task faster, so it is not difficult to understand.

As for Kaiyuan Yuan, because he was in the middle city, it was understandable that he would be the last one to return.

open.

Open source didn't keep everyone waiting long.

After a while, Fang Zhong slowly walked into the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

After some pleasantries.

Xu Yi walked into the lobby from the back door.

"My subordinates (subordinates) pay homage to Lord Jing Zhaoyin." Everyone stood up and saluted in unison.

Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Sit down."

After Xu Yiduan sat down, everyone slowly took their seats.

"Did your trip go well?" Xu Yi asked calmly.

Everyone replied in unison: "My lord, everything goes well."

Zhang Kaiyuan glanced around, stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "There are too many people arrested this time, and the prison is already overcrowded."

As soon as he said this, Xu Yi's eyes flashed with surprise.

Thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but chuckle.

Xu Yi originally wanted everyone to arrest people in accordance with the documents. It is estimated that everyone was afraid that someone would slip through the net, so they directly arrested the more than 20 businesses, from the apparent owner, to the shopkeeper, to the handyman. One pot is served!

However, it's okay to be wrong, Xu Yi is short of manpower now anyway.

Xu Yi calmed down and said with a straight face: "Interrogate those merchants immediately. If they are not guilty, we will give them two choices."

"First, pack up and go back to your home."

"Second, you can stay outside Jingzhao Mansion and wait for help. During the disaster relief period, I will hire them at 20% of the current monthly salary."

The words are over. @

Zhang Kaiyuan cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order!"

I believe that not many people can refuse the huge temptation of more than 20% of the monthly payment.

For those innocent guys, working for someone is not a job, not to mention that their old boss may never be able to get out in this life.

For Xu Yi, raising the monthly salary by 20% can bring in a large number of smart and capable clerks. Obviously, this is an extremely profitable business.

After everyone reported their respective situations, they left the lobby and went for cross-examination.

Only Huo Chenghu remained where he was.

See Xu Yi's eyes.

Huo Chenghu hurriedly stood up and reported: "Sir, I have something important to report."
