Lu Haikong started to make peace, and smiled and said: "Master Ma, Master Zhao, Master Wang, Master Chen, please don't mind the five officers. Capt. Li spoke a little hastily, and he also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. The people above were urging him.
ah."
Zhao Youguo sneered and sneered: "What is the arrogance of a classless policeman! Ask your Mr. Bao to come to investigate the case. We have a big temple here, and not just any kid from anywhere can run in."
Li Guolou glared fiercely and blamed Lu Haikong for interfering in his meddling.
Li Guolou said: "Master Zhao said this, I will come to your big temple with the imperial edict next time, and then I will ask Master Zhao to kneel down and reply. Does this please Master Zhao?"
Zhao Youguo said angrily: "Get away from your grandma, do you have such a great ability? Who are you trying to scare? With your virtue, you still have to ask for an imperial edict. Are your levels enough?"
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "What Master Zhao taught me is that the lower level is not enough. It is just a dog released by Master Bao. The master asked the dog to smell the stench first. Whoever is unclean will stink worse than a dog. This
There are still some at lower levels.”
Zhao Youguo was furious. Li Guolou compared himself to a dog, so what is he? Isn't he a scoundrel? If the dignity in the officialdom is gone, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of others? He said anxiously: "Bold Li Guolou, you are ridiculous.
Damn! Is this the street? Do you know how to talk to the chief? Palm!"
Li Guolou was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Master Zhao is right, the household department is not a street. You can do whatever you want. But it is not a big temple. If you want to give a little charity, you can take whatever you want. Please remember this, Master Zhao. I am originally
Eagle dog, you are right when you say that you are a dog. It is difficult for Mr. Zhao not to say that he is willing to do the work of an eagle dog. It seems that Mr. Zhao usually does not flutter his sleeves less, has he forgotten what use he is sending? "
Li Guolou said he was using it to invite An to kowtow, but he secretly sarcastically mocked these senior officials as they waved their donkey-like sleeves and knelt down, acting like a donkey. This directly offended all the officials present. Li Guolou took it directly and wished he could not let him go.
These officials went to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice to ask questions. Here these officials put on airs, but he couldn't find out what was going on.
Ma Zhijun was angry. The four colleagues around him were already scolding Li Guolou. Wouldn't the scolding make his subordinates look down upon him more? If the guards heard it, this courtroom would become a vegetable market.
Astonished, Ma Zhijun said angrily: "Shut up, I am so shameless. Zhao Guanzheng, what happened to you today? Why are you scolding a worthless person? Hubu's face has been completely embarrassed by you."
." Then he said: "Li Guolou, please go. I've shown you what you need to see, I've asked you what you need to ask, and you've scolded me enough. I'm exhausted today, so you can go back.
Come back another day to ask questions."
Li Guolou blushed, clasped his fists and said, "Since Mr. Ma is unwilling to cooperate, I have no choice but to ask you all to go directly to the lobby of the Criminal Department for questioning. Don't say that I am ruthless then."
Li Guolou was threatening these officials. If they disagreed with each other in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, he would strip them of their official uniforms and put them directly in jail to talk. This case must be solved and a few scapegoats will be found, and these five officials directly
When they come into contact with Ku Yin, they can't escape the relationship no matter what they say.
Ma Zhijun's face turned green and white. Of course he, a Manchu commander, knew the tricks of his subordinates. But he did not participate in it. There was no need to blame this puddle of dirty water on his own head. He prevented disasters for his subordinates and put his
It's okay to ruin his future. As long as he's not involved in the case.
, he can still become an official if he changes his position in the future, but if he gets involved, he is likely to be labeled as the main criminal. He weighs this weight. The money he took was just for accepting bribes, not a crime. Accepting bribes in the Qing Empire
Officials will not be sentenced, and everyone will protect each other.
Ma Zhijun is already thinking about getting out of this case, and at most he will bear the blame for poor supervision. It would be unlucky for him to meet a tough official who is unwilling to accept the situation. He is involved in the scandals of the Qing Empire, and he will be promoted in this life.
He can't go up. He also hates the officials nearby.
, did things regardless of the severity, and did not leave room for Yu Shuzhen, the right minister, so he offended the highest official and asked Yu Shuzhen to report this shocking scandal to the emperor. Now these officials should not blame him for getting away when the disaster was approaching and stealing from the treasury.
He will not bear the responsibility for serious crimes.
Ma Zhijun forced a smile and said: "Xiao Lizi, why bother? We are all old acquaintances. If you have anything else to ask, I, as your uncle, will definitely cooperate with you."
Li Guolou was stunned. He had already stood up and was about to leave, but Ma Zhijun suddenly said soft words. Everyone in the scene was stunned, looking at each other, wondering what would happen next?
Li Guolou is the best at reading people's faces. After thinking about it, he already knows Ma Zhijun's thoughts. He knows everything about officialdom. It seems that Ma Zhijun wants to get away. The person who stole the crime should bear the responsibility. People who sit in high positions do not care about many things.
Ask, just take the money when the time comes. Li Guolou has never thought about taking over the den of thieves and finding loopholes to find out the whole story. The ensuing officialdom intrigues are not his business.
Li Guolou had just been scolding each other and felt a little uneasy. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Master Ma is willing to help. I am very grateful. I will abide by the rules and will not make Master Ma look bad."
Li Guolou raised his head and glanced at Ma Zhijun. The two of them had a close connection and knew what to do next so that they could live in peace. He continued: "Master Ma, after reading the case file, I feel that there are still some omissions.
I hope Lord Ma can complete it."
Ma Zhijun asked dryly: "Li Duizheng, is there anything else missing?"
Li Guolou said: "In the information given to us by the Ministry of Revenue, the list of people who can enter and exit the treasury is available, and the official positions and scope of authority are also clearly stated. But the most important thing is that their family circumstances and addresses are not included. What should we do?
Check it?"
Li Guolou told Ma Zhijun clearly that if nothing could be found in the Ministry of Household Affairs, they would check the homes of those who came in and out of the treasury. Money will not turn into water, it will only turn into mansions, wives, concubines, and silks and silks.
Ma Zhijun did not refuse, but said as if he didn't know the truth: "Huh? Is there such a thing? Why don't I know how you do things, Mr. Tong? Can't you do this kind of job well?"
Tong Hami hurriedly bowed and said: "I made a mistake in my work. I will go and re-compile the list of people who have entered the treasury."
Can real money and silver be found in a house search? Li Guolou believes that these people are all upright officials of the Qing Empire, and their homes will not exceed 200 taels of silver. As for the big house, it only looks good on the outside, but the furniture inside is not complete. The crime occurred
More than a month has passed. These officials and Kuzu have already transferred the family's assets, and even the family members are not complete. But with these officials and Kuzu's home address, it is better than nothing, and the loopholes will definitely be found.
Li Guolou smiled as he faced the five officers.
Ma Zhijun asked: "Captain Li, do you have anything else to ask?"
Li Guolou replied: "Master Ma, I have nothing else to ask."
What followed was a quiet scene. Everyone looked at the paintings on the roof with their nostrils in the sky. There were rules in officialdom, and no one even drank the water in the teacup. The dry scene was boring.
Li Guolou got the official and Kuzu's home address he wanted, but before he could take a closer look, Ma Zhijun had already picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Li Guolou stood up quickly, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your cooperation."
, I’ll check here today, and I’ll say goodbye.”
Tong Hami shouted from the side: "Send off guests!"
The five officials shook off their official sleeves and turned back to the back hall, not even saying a polite word to Li Guolou.
Tong Hami laughed a few times and said, "Captain Li, please. We'll see you another day."
Li Guolou smiled and said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Tong." He stuffed a silver ingot into Tong Hami's hand. The rules of the entourage must not be broken. The officials above gave gifts and accepted bribes, while the followers below Yan Guo plucked their hair. Li Guolou
If you don't want to find someone in the household department in the future, you have to make good connections with the officials' followers first.
Lu Haikong was a little ashamed. Li Guolou had only come once, and the people in the household department knew that Li Guolou was not easy to mess with. But he had come several times, and they didn't take him seriously at all, and they didn't even treat him well when seeing off guests.
He said hello. It seems that sometimes you have to be tough as a person, and you can't just treat others like a soft persimmon.
On the way, Lu Haikong looked at Li Guolou and lowered his voice and said: "Little Lizi, both sides drew their guns in the household department. This trap has become bigger. Do you want to report it to the superior?"
Li Guolou replied: "Of course we do. Do you think Mr. Yu doesn't know that we drew our guns? In such a big battle, everyone has people. Someone has reported it to Mr. Yu a long time ago. This matter cannot be concealed."
Lu Haikong gritted his teeth and said: "Little Lizi, you deceived me so hard. Master Bao blamed me, and you have to bear it alone."
Li Guolou Buchi said: "Isn't it just to offend the money bag? I'm afraid that the Ministry of Household Affairs will seize the money of our Criminal Department in the future. Don't worry, these people are like grasshoppers after the fall. In the future, Mr. Yu will protect you. Who dares not to open his eyes?
.”
Lu Haikong looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm afraid that Mr. Yu won't be able to protect himself."
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Old Lu said you are stupid just because you are stupid. Now our Mr. Bao can only try his best to solve the case for Mr. Yu. Do you think this kind of case will not be solved? Just wait and see, there will always be bones to throw.
What you come out to us depends on how big Mr. Yu's appetite is? Do you understand Bang Chui?"
Lu Haikong said angrily: "Well, you kid, Master Bao is also involved in the conspiracy. I'm going to report it right now, so you can see."
"Shhhhhhhh!" Li Guolou gestured and said: "Lao Lu, please speak softly, be careful not to be heard by the people behind you."
Lu Haikong turned to look at the ten detectives following him, and said, "What are you afraid of? They have already taken the courage of their ambitions and have drawn their guns. No one will betray us."
There were bursts of sneezing behind Li Guolou. Although he had just drank a bowl of ginger soup, not many people could resist the feeling of wearing single clothes in the winter. They would all catch a cold tomorrow.
Li Guolou, a young man, was in good health and did not sneeze. It was no use teasing everyone. He caught a cold in just over half an hour. Everyone was sneezing and running out of their noses along the way. "Ah!" They all used it together.
Gentlemen should not be too particular about wiping noses with their sleeves.
A duel with the smell of gunpowder made everyone become closer at once, and the life of daring to fight and kill was still exciting. Ma Dequan, who was making a loud noise, boasted about his bravery just now, without even blinking an eyebrow, and he was not punished by the Ministry of Punishments.
Face.
Ai Hai sighed: "Ma Bi, you are said to be ignorant and uneducated, but you still don't admit it. You shouldn't even blink your eyelids. Can you blink your eyebrows? You idiot."
Ma Dequan laughed and said, "Who doesn't know about the slip of the tongue? The lunch at Hubu was too bad, which made my mouth feel bad."
Ai Hai sneered and said: "Ma Biang, if you could speak human language, you would have been the leader of the team long ago. In turn, I will flatter you."
Lu Haikong sighed: "It's better to be a baby chicken, it has strong firepower. I'm old, I need to take medicine when I go home." After saying that, he rubbed his nose and wiped the snot clean.
Everyone was laughing, their noses couldn't help but runny noses, and they quickly rolled up their sleeves so that no trace could be found.
Li Guolou and Lu Haikong were walking in front, chatting, and the group of policemen behind them were not as uniform as they were when walking in the morning. Today's errands went smoothly. On the way back to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the loose formation let passers-by know that this was a group of policemen.
It's okay, Yamen
Walking on the street, they were equipped with waist knives and short-barreled muskets. They were well-equipped, and no one would hit their guns. When Li Guolou and others were about ten minutes away from the Ministry of Justice, two gunshots were heard in the street next to them.
