Back in Weiyang City, Xiao Chen without any courtesy ordered Li Bingzhu to be imprisoned in the prison of Daotai Yamen, and more than twenty jailers were sent to guard him in shifts.
However, these jailers were all his own jailers from the Daotai Yamen of Jiangdong Dao, and they did not mobilize his own power.
Both Wang and Xing were quite puzzled by this matter and couldn't help but look at each other, wanting to persuade further.
But he also thought that Xiao Chen was very dissatisfied with the two of them at this moment, so it was better not to do such an act of putting his head on his head, otherwise he would end up making too many mistakes.
Xiao Chen didn't mean to explain it to everyone, but just told Xiang Yichun: "Pass this down and tell everyone in Daotai Mansion that from now on, the governor of Daotai Yamen will take over."
"The governor will directly govern with imperial orders. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"yes!"
Xiang Yichun agreed loudly and went to do it immediately.
Xiao Chen immediately dismissed everyone and returned to the post house with Ji Hongluan and Wei Zhongxian.
In front of the gate of the post house, Concubine Shu was waiting anxiously. When she saw Xiao Chen coming back, she hurriedly ran over to support Xiao Chen and asked with uncontrollable concern: "How are you, are you okay? Is everything going well?"
"I just asked Lin Qi to inquire, and he said you only brought back Li Bingzhu?"
"Is there no evidence to catch him?"
Seeing her caring about him so much, Xiao Chen felt warm in his heart. The wind and frost of the cold moon that night had all faded away, leaving only the comfort and tenderness in his heart.
"Don't worry, the governor has his own arrangements. This battle will naturally be a complete victory. Moreover, the fun is yet to come."
Ji Hongluan, who had been following the two of them, couldn't help but come forward and said reproachfully: "You are saying this again."
"I know you are powerful, but just now, were you a little carried away? Were you carried away by the victory for a moment, and you didn't know the depth?"
"Do you think that if the officers and soldiers listen to you, the jailers will also listen to you? The officers and soldiers here are different from the jailers. The officers and soldiers still belong to the court, so naturally they are not very loyal to the Taoist platform."
"But those jailers all rely on Daotai Mansion for their livelihood, and they may not necessarily respect foreign officials!"
She knows this truth even if she is a gangster. She really doesn't understand what Xiao Chen thinks. He actually puts the person he finally captured into the hands of the other party's accomplice. Isn't this the same as letting the tiger go home?
If she had known that this eunuch was not that reliable, she really shouldn't have changed her mind about him just now and shook herself in vain.
There was a hidden smile in Xiao Chen's eyes. Seeing her tangled look of regret and concern, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her rosy cheeks.
"Don't worry, little beauty. If the governor says he has a plan, then he has a plan. You just need to be prepared to admire him."
With a leisurely smile, Xiao Chen hugged Concubine Shu and returned to the bedroom.
Of course he is not in a state of despair, but let's talk about the rest tomorrow. Now he just wants to hold the gentle and lovely Concubine Shu and have a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen woke up at Concubine Shu's gentle call.
The beauty had a concerned look on her face and was rubbing his body subconsciously. While stretching his muscles, she said, "Xiang Yichun is waiting outside to reply. Do you want him to come in?"
"No, just go ask him and tell me what happened."
Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead and stood up, showing no defense against Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly, and a strong touch of emotion flashed through her eyes. Then, she did not shirk, and happily followed Xiao Chen's instructions.
Obviously, Xiao Chen regarded herself as the mistress beside him, and Concubine Shu felt that Xiao Chen's trust was very heavy.
But at this moment, she didn't want to refuse, and she had no reason to refuse.
Not long after, Concubine Shu came back and relayed the truth: "Xiang Yichun said that Lin Yi has already settled the matter."
"There is nothing else."
Xiao Chen nodded, with a deep smile in his eyes. In front of the woman he was closest to, he naturally showed a hint of pride without any concealment, "Haha, so the governor said that no matter how he escapes, he can still escape from the governor's Palm?"
"The mantis' arm is just a chariot."
Concubine Shu couldn't help but be curious, handed him a handkerchief to wipe his face, and asked casually: "What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Chen wiped his face, smiled and scratched Concubine Shu's pretty nose, and said, "You'll know later."
"I will go and get busy first."
"Hey you..." Concubine Shu wanted to stop him, thinking that Xiao Chen hadn't had breakfast yet.
But Xiao Chen ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.
Standing alone in the room, Concubine Shu couldn't help but shook her head and said to herself: "What's wrong with me?"
"Why are you becoming more and more affectionate toward his little daughter?"
"This is absolutely impossible."
There was a tangled look in Concubine Shu's eyes. After a long time, she finally failed to return to her usual noble and cold state, and she just sighed slightly.
After leaving the other courtyard, Ji Hongluan followed him. Xiao Chen knew that she was still curious about what happened last night, so he did not stop him. He took the little slave to have a breakfast and then went to Daotai Mansion to file the case. manage.
After working like this for most of the day, it was almost evening before Xiao Chen took the drinks and dishes prepared in the kitchen to visit Li Bingzhu in the cell.
At this time, Li Bingzhu had not eaten a grain of rice or a drop of water for nearly ten hours. When he saw Xiao Chen coming, he couldn't help but show a weak compromise in his eyes. This was almost an instinct coming from the body.
Xiao Chen leisurely placed the wine and meat in front of him and said straight to the point: "Master Li, the Governor only spent a few hours in the case filing department today and found a lot of hard-hitting evidence. Do you want to see it?"
Li Bingzhu's eyes paused for a moment, and his face turned pale in shock, but he quickly reacted and asked in confusion: "What evidence? I don't know."
How can it be?
With Lord Daotai's government and caution, it was impossible to leave any clue to Xiao Chen.
The moment Xiao Chen arrived at Daotai Mansion, Jiang Rongfeng must have taken away all the important files from the Records Department. What should Xiao Chen use to investigate?
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at him, smiled slowly, and poured himself a glass of wine calmly, "I know what you are thinking."
"But Mr. Li, have you ever thought about what if I had a detailed account book in my hand?"
"With the account books provided by Wang Wancai, I don't need much evidence in the filing department, but only some details to support it."
"This makes it impossible for you to escape."
With that said, Xiao Chen directly threw out a transcribed account book and a summary of the evidence he found today, and displayed them in front of Li Bingzhu.
Li Bingzhu's eyes trembled, his fingers trembled slightly, and he picked it up uncontrollably.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in a leisurely manner, with a confident look that made the cell seem to be a courtroom where a case was about to be concluded.
Outside the iron prison door, two jailors holding long knives looked at each other, and then, a very strange and decisive look appeared in the eyes of one of them.
