Li Bingzhu read it with a solemn expression. Gradually, the solemn look on his face turned into a look of deathly ashen.
"You...you fabricated evidence to harm me!"
"You must be forging these!"
Xiao Chen sneered, glanced leisurely at the two account books scattered on the ground, and sneered: "Whether it is forged or not, you know better than the governor."
"Anyway, the governor has plenty of these things. You can take a good look at them in the next few days."
"However, I would like to advise you that it is useless for you to look at these things. What you should look at most is the share in your hand."
With a slight smile, Xiao Chen's eyes showed a clear meaning, as if he could see through all the complexities of the person in front of him in an instant.
As he said that, he picked up one of the account books and weighed it in front of Li Bingzhu, "Master Li, let's not be too pretentious and tell the truth. Just like Wang Wancai's account book that records what you have done, it must also be in your hands. There is a ledger of the big shot you are colluding with."
"Is the governor right?"
Li Bingzhu suddenly stiffened, his eyes almost filled with despair when facing Yama.
His Adam's apple moved with difficulty, and after a while, a hoarse voice came from his throat, "No, I don't know what you are talking about."
Xiao Chen smiled and put down the account book casually. When he raised his head, there was a deep look in his eyes, "Think about it for yourself."
"I will give you three days at most. If you can hand it over, I will protect you from death."
After saying that, Xiao Chen stood up, called Ji Hongluan together, and walked away.
He deliberately did not pay attention to the reactions of the two jailers behind him. He always looked confident and walked leisurely all the way.
After leaving the cell, Ji Hongluan grabbed him and whispered: "When you were talking to Li Bingzhu just now, the two jailers at the door kept their ears pricked up."
"I think there must be something wrong with the two of them!"
"You still said so much in front of them? And where is the evidence?"
"What if the person behind Li Bingzhu plans to kill someone and silence him? Will the witness we managed to capture just disappear?"
Ji Hongluan was worried and angry at the same time. She didn't know what Xiao Chen was doing so confusedly.
Sometimes this eunuch seems to be very smart and cautious, but at other times he is very arrogant and stupid.
Xiao Chen glanced at her and couldn't help but have a smirk in his eyes, "Let me say, Xiaohong, why do you care so much about this governor?"
"Should you really go back and think about it carefully? Are you addicted to the charm and can't extricate yourself?"
"You, you are really..."
Ji Hongluan stamped her feet with an angry face and turned to leave.
But for some reason, she should be angry, but when she turned around, there was a sense of coquettishness, and even she realized it.
"Haha" Xiao Chen chuckled and reached out to hold her. Now that he had nothing to do, he talked to her carefully: "Li Bingzhu was arrested. For the person above him, there are only two choices."
"The first one is to try our best to rescue him. Since then, I have lost the witness and the clues have been broken and can no longer be investigated. Everyone in this group is safe."
"The second option is that if you fail to save people, you will be betrayed by the lackey Li Bingzhu, so you can only act first and kill the dog Li Bingzhu reluctantly."
"And what I want is the second kind."
Ji Hongluan was startled, and after thinking carefully for a while, she understood what Xiao Chen meant, "So, on the one hand, you deliberately let the guards of Daotai Mansion guard you to report the news to the person above; on the other hand, you were already secretly We arranged a defense to prevent others from rescuing Li Bingzhu."
"In this way, once the Daotai side knows that Li Bingzhu has been exposed with conclusive evidence, and may even have a ledger that can drag him and other accomplices into trouble, they can only take risks and choose the second path, right? ?”
"Not bad." Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect Ji Hongluan's mind to move so fast.
It seems that this little slave is not bad and can be taught.
"Xiao Chen, you..." This time, the concealment in Ji Hongluan's eyes completely disappeared. When she looked at Xiao Chen, there was only admiration and admiration in her eyes, "You are really careful every step of the way, and your strategy is unparalleled."
"Ahem, it's okay." Xiao Chen raised his hand in embarrassment and stopped her, "There's no need for flattery. It's enough to have Wei Zhongxian by my side to pat her on the back."
"As long as you follow this governor in a down-to-earth manner from now on, I will be satisfied."
"Don't worry, I can't do anything wrong to you."
Ji Hongluan listened, her little face raised proudly, and the instinctive unwillingness to admit defeat in her bones made her still say stubbornly: "What you think is beautiful!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled, without arguing with her.
Next, all we have to do is wait for the reaction from Daotai Jiang Rongfeng.
The bait has been put out, but if the fish doesn't take the bait, you need a little patience.
…
It's night, in the courtyard of Xijiang Road.
Jiang Rongfeng was dressed in luxurious tribute brocade pajamas, lined with bloated fat, and his face, which had not slept at night, was as angry as thunder, and the elegance in front of people during the day had disappeared without a trace.
His fat arms angrily swept away a plate of expensive and exquisite tea sets in front of him. Jiangdong Daotai, who had been in a high position for many years and no one had dared to offend him, his eyes were full of frustrated unwillingness and resentment at this moment, "What a Xiao Chen, a mere eunuch, How dare you attack me!"
"One of the most proud disciples of my grand prime minister. He has the support of the prime minister and the prestige of the people. He really thinks he can do anything to me!"
On the side, Master Wang was so frightened that he repeatedly raised his hands and said comfortingly: "Sir, please calm down and take care of yourself."
"The eunuch's pride is only temporary. He clearly doesn't have enough manpower at the moment. He can take care of the east but not the west. Since we can't rob the prison by pretending to be a righteous man from a famous family, then..."
As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Rongfeng anxiously. Naturally, he did not dare to say this final decision rashly from his own mouth.
Jiang Rongfeng took a serious look at the note that came from the center of his hand. On it, the words "There is an ambush outside and the prison robbery failed" were so dazzling that they were like offending whips hitting him.
Xiao Chen, a mere patrolling imperial envoy, wanted to change the world of Jiangdong Road.
It's so arrogant!
"Xiao Chen, I will definitely let you know who is in charge of this Jiangdong Road." Jiang Rongfeng gritted his teeth secretly, and an extremely dangerous meaning overflowed from his narrowed eyes.
