"The official understands the painstaking efforts of the Ming Mansion." Wu Shilai nodded with difficulty, temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and asked in detail: "Is that thing really in Zhao Xiaolian?"

"It's hard to say, so I need to check it." Cao Sanyang sat back on the official hat chair, picked up the teacup and tried to moisten his throat, but found that the tea was already cold. "Ni Dahong said that among the people who might have contacted Lu Xuan that day, the only ones who might have contacted Lu Xuan were not checked."

Wu Shilai quickly got up, picked up the copper pot from the stove, and changed the tea for the prefect. Hearing this, he said softly: "I will go back and look for it carefully."

"Well, I naturally believe in Wuzhai." Cao Sanyang looked at Wu Shilai with relief, and said casually as if he was casual: "There is a servant named Feng Wu in the account book, who is Shang Baoqing and Xu Ying's family servant..."

Wu Shilai's hand shivered and sprinkled water on the table.

Xu Ying is the third son of Xu Ge Lao, who runs the huge Xu family's industry in Songjiang...

Unexpectedly, the Xu family could be involved here?

But then I thought about it, how could it be impossible to involve the Xu family?

When he was a promotor in Songjiang, he knew that the Xu family had more than 200,000 mu of land and tens of thousands of weavers. They occupied a leading position in the two pillar industries of local silk weaving and cotton spinning.

And that happened nearly twenty years ago... Now these numbers are probably more than doubled.

Besides, Xu Ge Lao, Yan Shifan and Lu Bing are also in-laws... Is this just for self-protection, or is there something insignificant?

Wu Shilai didn't dare to think about it, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.

~~

Zhao Hao and his son waited in the palace chief's office.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Wu Shilai returned with a serious expression.

Seeing that his face was darker than the sky, Zhao Hao knew that there must be nothing good.

"You all go out." Wu Shilai walked away from his left and right, closed the door, sighed, "It's so troublesome."

"Ah..." Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but sucked in air and sat back on the chair.

Zhao Hao's face was also ugly, and he asked patiently: "Uncle Shi would make the words clear. Even if he was about to die, we have to be a wise ghost."

"Just about to talk to you." Wu Shilai walked to the two of them and said carefully:

"Let me say so. Do you remember when you entered Beijing, you encountered someone being chased?"

"Well, this is the case." Zhao Shouzheng nodded. After all, such intense scenes are rare on weekdays.

"That man was the main criminal pursued by Shuntian Mansion. He carries something that concerns many people's life and death." When Wu Shi said this, he looked at Zhao Hao and his son without blinking. "But later after catching up with that man, he did not find that thing from him."

"After interrogation, he confessed that he had stuffed the thing into your carriage when he passed by."

When Wu Shilai said this, he apologized, but it was of great importance and he could only be unrighteous once.

The intention naturally adds pressure to the Zhao family and his son.

"Is that so?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in surprise: "What is that thing?"

"There are two books." Wu Shilai was also a prosecutor, so he naturally understood a way to observe words and expressions. Seeing that Zhao Shouzheng's expression was not like a false statement, he couldn't help but relax. "You might as well go back and find out if there is any that thing."

"Well, we have never seen this account book." Zhao Hao couldn't say it was gone directly. Wouldn't that be 'no silver here'? In order to show his innocence, he also offered:

"But since Uncle Shi suspected that we were, I might as well think that's it. Please come to my house with the official Ni and look for it. If you find it, it has nothing to do with us. If you don't find it, I hope the matter will be settled."

"If you have this attitude, things will not be difficult to handle."

This is reasonable, Wu Shilai nodded and said, "I'll go and ask for instructions from Mingfu now."

When Wu Shi came out, Zhao Shouzheng finally couldn't hold back and looked at his son with a sad face and said, "Son, we won't be in trouble, are we?"

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this is what a father should say?

But he had to comfort him softly: "Dad, don't worry, we didn't do anything wrong, we are not afraid of ghosts calling us. Besides, I'm there."

"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng calmed down and said to his son in a low voice: "You have to cheer up. If things are not good, don't worry about me. It's important to run away quickly."

Zhao Hao thought to himself, where can I go? Even if I escape, I have to take their boat.

~~

Wu Shilai came to the prefect's signing room again and told him Zhao Hao's advice.

However, the Minister Cao slowly shook his head and said, "Let his father stay with you first, and you and Ni Dahong go find him."

"This..." Wu Shilai couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "The father and son are as deep as the sea, so I'm afraid that something will happen again."

"Isn't it even more ugly to catch someone after they are released?" Cao Fuyin's chin was very big, with lines like a knife, and he looked tough and tough.

"Let's talk about it until the suspicion is completely eliminated..."

"This..." Wu Shilai was so angry that he didn't know how to tell Zhao Hao later.

At this time, the sound of messy footsteps sounded outside, followed by the anxious voice of Tui Guan Ni:

"Mingfu, can you release someone?"

The Minister Cao's face sank and scolded Ni Tuiguan who was sweating profusely. "What kind of bastard is this?!"

"Ming Mansion, there are more and more juren outside, and there have been two or three hundred gatherings!"

Unexpectedly, the next words from Tui Guan Ni scared the hard-line Cao Fuyin so much that his face turned pale.

"What?" Wu Shilai also asked in shock: "Didn't you let you stop them?"

"I've stopped you, but the more you gather, you can't stop you anymore!" Ni Tui Guan said with a hoarse throat: "You can't move too hard, you can only reason with them, but who can tell them?"

"Mingfu, we must release the person immediately!" Wu Shilai didn't care about asking in detail, and quickly clasped his fists at the Caofu Yin and said, "Before the matter has not yet made a big deal, hurry up and make up for the prison."

"Yes, Ming Mansion, they said that if there is no one in one stick of incense, they will go and beat the drum!"

Officer Ni also said anxiously from the side.

The Minister Cao stared at Ni Tui Guan like he wanted to eat people, and cursed in his heart: "It's you who said he was arresting people, and it's you who said he was released. Are you who used me as a monkey to play tricks on me?!"

Just as he was hesitant, should he adhere to the dignity of Shuntian Mansion or take a step back, and when the weather was calm, he heard the outsider come in and report:

"Master, the little lord of the eldest princess's mansion wants to see you."

"What trouble is he going to cause?" Cao's official, a third-rank official, naturally would not take him, and even his official title was not as serious as Li Chengen.

"He held the eldest princess' jade plaque..." Menzi added.

"Hurry open the middle door!" Cao's official changed his face immediately. He ignored Wu Shilai and Ni Dahong and hurried out to greet him.

The eldest princess and His Majesty's brother Remei, the prefect, can't afford to offend him.

Officer Ni and Wu Shilai were still waiting for him to make an idea, so they followed him out quickly.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the prefectural yamen, they saw the young master Li Chengen wearing a cotton robe with a snow-white fox fur cloak, and walked in with unrecognizable relatives.
