Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!When Qin Xiao came to the front of the Ministry of War again, his treatment was completely different from last time.

Two days ago, he came alone, and the guards of the Ministry of War were full of contempt, and directly drove him away.

But this time he clearly saw a trace of fear in the eyes of the guards.

Of course, it was not him that the guard of the Ministry of War feared, but the white and fat attendant Zhu Dongshan in front of him.

Zhu Dongshan always wears a kind smile outside. If he walks on the street in casual clothes, he will only make people think that he is a rich man with a prosperous life and a happy temperament, unlike his boss Lu Junzhong. People feel uncomfortable all over just by looking at them.

But everyone who knows Zhu Dongshan knows that Zhu Dongshan may not have the distorted temperament of Lu Junzhong, but Zhu Dongshan is more cruel than Lu Junzhong's wrist.

Zhu Dongshan started his career as being good at various types of cruel punishments. It was precisely because he wrote a book of various tortures that year, which was valued by Lu Junzhong, he was transferred from the local to the Ministry of Justice and became his right-hand man.

Zhu Dongshan did not disappoint Lu Junzhong.

There are many cool staff under Lu Junzhong, but Zhu Dongshan is absolutely outstanding.

Lu Junzhong is good at weaving all kinds of crimes, and what Zhu Dongshan has to do is to get the prisoner to confess the crime.

No one wants to admit that he has never committed a crime, but when he arrives in front of Zhu Dongshan, the prisoner is afraid that the confession is not detailed. Even if the bone is hard and handed over to Zhu Dongshan, sooner or later he will follow the meaning of the criminal ministry and confess what they want. The guilt heard.

Zhu Dongshan's smile made people who know him creepy.

"Tell Fan Butang, Zhu Dongshan from the Ministry of Punishment, please see me." Zhu Dongshan smiled kindly, with a gentle voice: "I'm waiting here."

The guards soon went to report. Soon, Dou Yan, the minister of war, ran to the yamen himself, and from a distance he clasped his fists and smiled: "Master Zhu, what wind has brought you here? Rare and rare guests, please come in, please Come in. I heard that Master Zhu likes to drink tea, and I happen to have some tea from the south of the Yangtze River."

Dou Fan saw that Zhu Dongshan was only following two people behind him. Except for Qin Xiao, the other person was a small official of the Criminal Ministry.

Dou Yan stayed quiet, and invited Zhu Dongshan into the Yamen, Qin Xiao and the Xingbu officials followed in.

"This is the first time I have entered the Ministry of War." With his hands on his back, Zhu Dongshan bulged his stomach, and followed Dou Yan to a spacious lobby in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. After he was seated, he smiled and said: "We are working in the same street. For more than a few years, they haven't visited each other's door. It's really estranged."

"Master Zhu, you just need to walk around in the Ministry of Defense. We don't dare to enter the Ministry of Penalty." Dou Wei smiled half-truth and said, "Except for the people in the Ministry of Justice, everyone else who enters the Ministry of Justice is a lawsuit. Who do you say is willing to go to the Ministry of Justice? run?"

Zhu Dongshan immediately laughed, then raised his finger to Qin Xiao and said, "Master Dou, do you know this one?"

Dou Fan shook his head. Someone had already brought tea at this time. Dou Fan raised his hand and said, "Master Zhu, the Yunwu tea from Jiangnan is made from the spring water specially obtained from Wuyin Mountain. Try it. If you like it, I will prepare you two catties."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Dongshan took a sip, closed his eyes for a taste, put down the cup, and said with a thumbs up: "Good tea, really good tea. Master Dou, I knew you had such good tea here. I should have come to taste tea long ago."

Dou Fu

He smiled and said, "Master Zhu likes it, I will send it back to the house."

"That would cost Master Dou." Zhu Dongshan didn't refuse, and smiled: "But I came here today, not just to drink tea. Master Dou, this is a messenger from Xiling to Kyoto day and night. His name is Qin. Xiao, another identity, is Black Feather Night Crow, a guard under General Black Feather."

Dou He immediately pretended to be surprised: "Is it the Black Feather Night Crow?"

"My lord, don't be surprised." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Aside from being here, you should have met another Night Crow. Like me, he was also a messenger who came to Kyoto to report military affairs, and he was earlier than me. Came to the Ministry of War in two days."

Dou Wei seemed to have no idea that Qin Xiao was so direct, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

"Master Dou, there are also two messengers who came to Beijing with Qin Xiao." Zhu Dongshan picked up the teacup again, and said slowly: "One of them is the captain Han Yunong of the Zhenjun Captain's Mansion. After he entered Beijing, he rested at the inn. One night, I came to the Ministry of War to report the next day." Looking at Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, when Duwei Han left the inn, he was sure to come to the Ministry of War."

Zhu Dongshan was very satisfied with Qin Xiao's testimony, and nodded with a smile: "But after Han Yunong left that day, he never went back. Although Han Yunong said he was coming to the Ministry of War, if he changed his mind halfway, that might be the case. But Qin Xiao was worried. Han Yunong’s disappearance will delay the 100,000-year-old military situation, and he wants to find Han Yunong as soon as possible. But when he first arrived, he didn’t know anything about the situation in Kyoto. In desperation, he found our criminal department, hoping that the criminal department could help find someone." After a sip of tea, he said slowly: "Han Yunong disappeared in Kyoto. It would have been better to hand it over to Kyoto Prefecture. But Lu Butang felt that Han Yunong's purpose of entering Beijing was extraordinary. If Kyoto Prefecture was delayed, it would be I missed the military affairs."

Dou Fan finally nodded and said, "Master Zhu said that the military affairs must not be delayed."

"That's why Lu Butang decided that since this matter is serious, the Ministry of Criminal Justice must take over this burden for the imperial court." Zhu Dongshan said: "What Lu Butang meant, sent me to the Ministry of War to find out the situation. The artist will be asked to paint Han Yunong's appearance according to Qin Xiao's description, and then post a missing person notice in Kyoto, and look for Han Yunong with a lot of money. It is also a coincidence that after the portrait of Han Yunong was drawn, Zheng Tong, the official of the criminal ministry, immediately recognized it. I came out, saying that it was the afternoon of the fifth day of February, and I seemed to see Han Yunong entering the military headquarters."

Dou Yan stayed quiet, and the small official of the Xing Department who had been standing behind Zhu Dongshan finally stepped forward and said to Dou Yan: "My lord, I was out on business on the fifth day of February, and I had to do some errands. I just passed the Ministry of War. I saw him at that time. Someone is waiting in front of the Ministry of War." He took out a picture scroll from his arms and opened it: "This is according to Qin Xiao's description, the appearance of Han Yunong painted by the painter of the Xing Ministry. Seeing this painting, Qin became more familiar with it. Xiao also described Han Yunong's clothing that day, and the humble post immediately remembered that the person waiting in front of the Ministry of War that day was the person in the painting."

Zhu Dongshan asked: "Zheng Tong, are you sure you saw it on the fifth day of February?"

"My lord, there are travel records in the Yamen. In the last ten days, when on duty, the humble post only went to the Yamen on the second day of May." Zheng Tong was very sure: "Humble post will never remember wrong, and will never I'm wrong. If there is the slightest error, the humble job is willing to guarantee with your head!"

Zhu Dongshan said: "Master Dou, Zheng Tong is loyal and has good eyes. He said that when he saw it at the Ministry of War that day, there should be no mistakes. This is also in line with what Qin Xiao said. Han Yunong was indeed Here comes the Ministry of Defense."

Qin Xiao

Asked Dou Wei: "Master Dou, I wonder if Duwei Han came to the Ministry of War on the fifth day of February? Did you report the military information of Xiling to Master Ministry?"

Dou Wei smiled faintly, but at this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps, and then saw Fan Wenzheng, the military coordinator in an official gown, walked in from the side door. Before anyone arrived, he heard him laugh and said: "Han Yunong is in the military. "Walking into the hall, Dou Fan had already got up and gave up the main seat. Fan Wenzheng sat down, Zhu Dongshan had already got up and said: "The humble post has seen Fan Butang."

"Master Zhu sit down and talk." Fan Wenzheng looked relaxed and said with a smile: "You came to the Ministry of War to find Han Yunong?"

"It is by the order of Lu Butang to come to inquire about it." Zhu Dongshan smiled and said, "Qin Xiao's status is low. He had been to the Ministry of War before, but was driven away before entering the Yamen. Therefore, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not allow the military situation to be delayed. Only then came forward to ask."

Fan Wenzheng glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "The military department is a heavy land. It is true that not everyone can come in. But Han Yunong did arrive at the military department and has been writing Zhezi here for the past two days. The Xiling rebellion is of great importance, and the cause and effect must be written. To be clear, if it is ambiguous, how to present the memorial to the saint? Han Yunong came to Beijing from Xiling, working day and night, exhausted, and because Xiling was lost, he felt heavy and tranced, so he didn't write the memorial in time. The official thought. There must not be the slightest error in the notes, so he did not urge him to write notes while resting in the Ministry of War."

"So that's the case." Zhu Dongshan still smiled: "If this is the case, then that would be great, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice doesn't have to move around looking around."

Fan Wenzheng said, "This is a matter of the Ministry of War. The old man really didn't expect to be able to alarm the Ministry of Justice." Looking at Qin Xiao, frowning said: "Qin Xiao, although Han Yunong is missing, you don't need to make everyone aware. If the people of Kyoto knew that Xiling had been taken by the rebels, wouldn’t it be a turmoil? Even if the palace knew about it, it would only try to conceal it and prevent such military affairs from spreading. After all, some of them were unpredictable, just in case they took the opportunity to incite the people , The consequences are extremely troublesome. Gongli and Chaozhong have not decided to release the news, but because you have missed Han Yunong, you made such a big noise, and even bothered Master Zhu to come to the Ministry of War to ask, what should you be guilty of?"

"Fan Butang does not have to be angry." Zhu Dongshan immediately smiled: "Qin Xiao is also worried that Han Yunong is really missing. It is understandable that the young people are impulsive in doing things like this. By the way, Butang, since Han Yunong is here The Ministry of War, can you let him go to the Ministry of Justice?"

"What are you going to do to the Criminal Ministry?"

"Qin Xiao reported the case, and the Criminal Ministry opened the case." Zhu Dongshan smiled harmlessly: "As long as Han Yunong presses his fingerprints in the past to prove that the Criminal Ministry has found the missing person, the disappearance case will be over. You We also know that Lu Butang handled the case fairly and harshly, and the criminal department's procedures were also orderly, and there must be no sloppy. We are not far from the two yamen. Han Yunong used to press his fingerprints and return immediately, and we all relaxed. "Seeing Fan Wenzheng's lips move slightly, before he waited for the opponent to refuse, he continued: "Moreover, Qin Xiao and Han Yunong are both night crows under General Hei Yu. Han Yunong has disappeared these days, and Qin Xiao is very anxious, so Han Yunong comes out to see him. , Let him rest assured, Bu Tang, don't you think?"

Fan Wenzheng frowned slightly, and Dou Yan smiled beside him: "Butang, since Master Zhu has said so, it doesn't hurt to let Han Yunong come out to see the industry."

"Then you go and bring Han Yunong over." Fan Wenzheng said, "I said that Qin Xiao is here, come out to meet, so that his brothers can rest assured." But he didn't mention that Han Yunong went to the Criminal Ministry to press his fingerprints to close the case.
