Lu Ruoteng brought Niu San and others back to the government office and left the hall.

Niu San didn't understand the meaning and looked at the middle-aged civil servant in front of him with some confusion. His wide robe seemed a little unfit. He sat upright in front of the desk, with the wrinkles on his forehead like gullies.

The two of them looked at each other like this, Lu Ruoteng didn't ask questions, and Niu San didn't take the initiative to speak.

The hall was silent, and a few naughty sparrows came down in the yard, jumping and chirping.

About a stick of incense passed like this.

First, Ma Shiying arrived in a hurry, then Zhu Dadian, and even Zhang Bingzhen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War who had been taking leave, came to the yamen of the governor.

Following were the inspector Ren Tianan and the commander Lin Wude.

Lu Ruoteng looked at the important officials who were sitting down and sighed, especially Zhu Dadian, who said he was a small flag official, but it made them and other big names care tightly.

The wind blew through the hall, and the paper pages on the table were gently blown up. Lu Ruoteng reached out and held them down, and asked, "Niu San, tell me, who is your online line?"

"My family was poor since childhood, and my father died early. My mother ploughed a few acres of thin land to barely support my four brothers and sisters. But those gentry bullied our orphans and widows, and together with the clerks, tampered with the yellow book, occupied my land, and a few acres of thin land to save life were robbed."

Niu San told him sadly and unhappyly. He didn't expect that so many high-ranking officials would come to see him today. These people used to be disdainful of looking at him. Today, they could sit here and listen to him. They lived for thirty years. This was the first time.

No one in the hall interrupted Niu San's words. Ma Shiying sat on the left and quietly looked at the small flag official in front of him. He felt a little nervous. Niu San's confession could cost him his life. He had never known how Duoduo's letter was sent to his mansion. Now it seems that most of the people were doing it.

Not to mention Zhu Dadian, his mind is in chaos now, and Qi Biaojia's words make him feel at ease.

Chen Hongfan, who was standing at the end, looked like he was watching a show.

Lin Wude of the command room was like frost hitting eggplant, with his head hanging down and very discouraged. He had opposed the thorough investigation of the city's Cao army before, but now all the people were caught and their faces were beaten to the point of being beaten.

When Lin Wude thought of the chilling words of King Lu, he felt even more ashamed.

Zhang Bingzhen came to hear the news. He was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Now Zhu Dadian is involved in this matter. He came to see if there was any chance, just like seeing a fly in the crack of an egg.

"I sued the officials several times, but they were all suppressed. There were some rascals sent by somebody who threatened us. Later, I couldn't survive after losing the land. I could only join the army and made a living. At first, I worked in the General Huang camp of Luzhou, but somehow, I transferred to Commander Lin's subordinates to farm. Later, because of the good farming, Shangguan gave a small flag official to the city guard and transferred to the city gate to guard the city."

Speaking of this, Lu Ruoteng looked at Lin Wude, and he guessed it without asking the inside story. In order to raise money and grain, many generals would use some of their troops to exchange for those greedy Shangguans. These soldiers were traded like goods.

Huang Degong exchanged money and food from Lin Wude, and Lin Wude would squeeze these illiterate big-headed soldiers to make money and create more value.

At this time, Lin Wude's head was almost stuffed into his crotch and he didn't dare to look at Lu Ruoteng at all.

"Later, relying on a little Yueyin, the elders and young people in the general family finally didn't have to go out to beg for the streets, and they could barely bear their lives. Later, the Tartars captured Nanjing and Yingtian Mansion was also occupied. I was worried about my family, so I took a falsity and secretly returned to my hometown. But when I went back, I was exposed by the Dog Township Old Man who surrendered to the Tartars and asked the Tartars to catch them. They knew that I was guarding the city gate, so they did not kill me, detained my family, and released me back."

After Niu San said that, two lines of clear tears flowed down from his black and yellow face.

Everyone in the hall had different expressions and were all thinking about their own affairs. No one cared about what Niu San said.

Only Lu Ruoteng asked with concern: "Are they still alive?"

"I'm dead, all starved to death, and I'm starving to death in a paddy field full of rice." Niu San stood with his hands down and said with a wry smile: "It was originally my field, but later I found out that it was the Duke of Wei, Xu Jiujue, who was attracted by the land of Chunhua Town and forced to encircle it by the government!!!"

There was no anger, no roar, only plain words like boiled water, but it seemed to sprinkle on Lu Ruoteng's heart, making it so hot that it was difficult for him to calm down.

Just as Lu Ruoteng was thinking about how to speak, Ma Shiying asked coldly: "Who is your online? You said you sent a letter from the Qing army to this auxiliary, so what evidence is there?"

Niu San ignored Ma Shiying's inquiry and knelt down at Lu Ruoteng and said, "I just want to die quickly!"

"How can you Qiu Ba betray people innocence out of thin air?" Zhu Dadian said angrily.

Lu Ruoteng waved his hand and smiled and said, "Zhubutang, don't be excited."

"Niu San, if there is evidence, just take it out and you will understand if you die, right?" Lu Ruoteng persuaded gently.

Everyone's eyes in the hall instantly gathered on Niu San, and even Lin Wude raised his head. He just realized that he was just a vacant salary, at most he was charged with slaughtering soldiers and inadvertent supervision. But now, if the chief minister and a minister were found, he would have been seriously guilty of colluding with the enemy. Maybe he would have missed this matter.

The birds in the yard were startled, and Niu San slowly knelt straight, looking at Lu Ruoteng with red eyes.

After a long time, Niu San seemed to have figured out something, so he took out a stack of square coarse cloth from his arms, handed it on his hands, and said, "This is a list of spies to contact me, some of my offline lists, and the places where the Tartars hide in the city. Just catch them and ask, and there will be evidence."

Hula, everyone in the hall was startled, and their eyes met on the rag.

Lu Ruoteng took two steps at a time, ran to Niu San, took the cloth over, then turned around and knelt in front of Niu San, and shouted loudly in the shocked eyes of everyone: "See the Superintendent!"

Everyone who had just woken up was instantly weak, and Ma Shiying and Zhu Dadian walked into the hall tremblingly, kneeling on the ground as if they had lost their souls.

Zhu Changqing walked out of the ear room on the side of the lobby and slowly came to the front of the case.

Li Bao put the stack of coarse cloth in Lu Ruoteng's hand on it. Zhu Changqing took it with one hand and sat in front of the table. He glanced at Niu San, then looked at Zhu Dadian who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, and then said, "Shangshu Zhu, why are you shaking?"

"Go back to the country, I... I shake the lice on my body." Zhu Dadian now regretted that he had lost his intestines. He had not spent any money to greed for. He might not be able to save his life at the moment. It's such a sin.

Li Bao, who was standing quietly behind Zhu Changqing, smiled with difficulty.

At this time, Zhu Changqing slowly opened the coarse cloth and prepared to see whose name was on it.

But when he spread out in front of him, he looked at Niu San with lightning in an instant.

Li Bao took a look inadvertently and was stunned. The rag was empty, with no word on it!
