Zhuo Chuan asked people to bring the clock leak and put it directly in front of the court for timekeeping.

Bandit Chu put the tea bowl on the case, scanned the anxious officials in the duty room, and said calmly, "You still have two hours."

When all the officials heard this, they felt that the inscription in front of the hall instantly turned into a reminder, and after a while, the sound of arguing came from the duty room.

At this time, the food ordered earlier was brought up by the cook. Chu Bandit, Zhao Liangyue and his party only took one look, and immediately frowned, furious—there were a lot of big fish and meat, and even the food utensils were priceless gold inlaid jade plate.

Zhao Liangyue let out a long sigh, and said: "Ningzhou's disaster has not been eliminated, Tang County is in dire straits, and the magistrate of Zhizhou has never let go of his extravagant pleasures."

"Jingmo." Bandit Chu called out.

"Subordinates are here."

"Wu Yi is going to die today. Take my warrant and go to his mansion directly. Seal and copy what should be sealed. All the gold, silver and treasures paid will be used for disaster relief." Bandit Chu looked at Zhao Liangyue again, and said, "Xi Lin will go with Jing Mo."

Zhao Liangyue looked at the duty room, nodded knowingly, and followed Jing Mo to lead the people out of the government office.

As soon as Zhao Liangyue left, the slight smile in Chu Bandit's eyes completely melted away, and when he turned around again, the killing spirit in his brows was no longer obstructed.

Chu Bandit didn't say a word, but stood in the hall, and there seemed to be a chill around him, and even his valet, who had been following him for a long time, couldn't help feeling like a thorn on his back at this moment.

Zhuo Chuan glanced at the officials in the office who were biting each other for their lives, and at Bandit Chu who was standing with his hands behind his back when the flames were extinguished. Most of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

Zhuo Chuan thought that he had been running darts in the world for more than ten years, and he had heard the name Chu bandit from countless people, all of them were insulted and cast aside, everyone got to punish him, only the word treachery was always with him.

But at this moment, Zhuo Chuan caught a familiar shadow from Chu Bandit's body, and he couldn't help but recall the blood-stained white robe that he couldn't forget when he happened to go to Cangji Mountain when he was young.

However, Bandit Chu is different after all. The man in front of him is vicious, bloodthirsty, and good at playing tricks. He is like a sharp knife, eager to cut everything in front of him.

However, Zhuo Chuan didn't know what Bandit Chu wanted to cut off and what he wanted to get in the end when he came to Ningzhou at such a risk.Also, Senior Yunhezi is a man in the rivers and lakes. He has not been involved in government affairs for many years, and has made several oaths and promises, but why is he going into this muddy water again?In this regard, the elder sister seemed to understand something, but she seemed to be an outsider just like herself, and she still had many doubts in her heart. However, the time did not come, and all causes and effects were deliberately hidden, leaving only a mystery that could not be found.

The engraved quicksand, hidden in the darkness, quietly tightened the string in the hearts of everyone present.

When Xingmu slapped on the public case, ten officials were brought to the front of the hall, Wu Yi and Jia Hanyuan were at ease.

Bandit Chu looked at the stack of confessions in his hand, and seemed to be extremely angry, his eyes were cut like sharp knives, which made people's liver and gallbladder cold, and the cry of begging for mercy resounded throughout the court.

However, Wu Yi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, not knowing who he was mocking, and then closed his eyes.

Bandit Chu threw out the token in his hand, and behind the ten officials, all of them drew their white knives out of their sheaths.

"My lord, Mr. Zhao has made a new discovery! Please don't do anything!"

At this time, Jing Mo came back suddenly, as if there was something urgent, he ran over and said something in Chu Bandit's ear, and then Chu Bandit, who was so angry just now, frowned, and really ordered to stop.

Afterwards, Zhao Liangyue, who was walking slower, also rushed back with a worried look on his face.Zhuo Chuan felt that there was an accident, and immediately asked someone to start counting the scene.

The remaining officials who were detained on the side were all surprised when they saw this. The well-known square-eyed and round-headed petty official looked around several times, his eyeballs rolled around, as if he was thinking of something, but he still hesitated due to his restricted behavior.

When everyone was puzzled, Bandit Chu threw another token and said, "Except Wu Yi, the prefect of Ningzhou, and Jia Hanyuan, the fellow prefect, the others will be killed on the spot!"

Wu Yi opened his eyes, and looked at Chu Bian and Zhao Liangyue suspiciously, wondering what the hell they were up to.On the other hand, Jia Hanyuan, who was at the side, felt desperate for survival, wiped off his cold sweat, and couldn't help laughing.

In front of the court, the begging sounds of the eight officials just came out of their throats, and their heads fell to the ground in an instant.

Someone's head was dripping blood all the way and rolled to the feet of the officials on one side, causing a burst of panic, and some even exclaimed, terrified.

Bandit Chu looked at Wu Yi and Jia Hanyuan, his eyes seemed to be full of anger, but he could only bear it down, and said: "Put these two people in the cell, and the corpses will be shown to the public tomorrow. Produce a dossier that I am satisfied with!"

Taking orders everywhere, the jailer took Wu Yi and Jia Hanyuan away. Although the rest of the officials were physically and mentally exhausted, they did not dare to slack off. Killing, many officials are not in charge of the criminal law on weekdays, and there is no way to do it for a while-asking the Raksha Bensha, Chu Shangshu, naturally dared not ask, so he turned his eyes for help to Mr. Zhao who seemed to be very talkative.

But Mr. Zhao seemed to be blind for a moment. He didn't respond to their eager eyes. Instead, he turned around and went to rest in the inner hall with Chu Shangshu, and threw out a sentence to interrogate Wu Yi, Jia Hanyuan, Jiang Zheng and Pei Qu tomorrow. Wait for it.

In the end, it was Jing Mo who was afraid of delaying the matter, cursed a few words, and patiently went to help the officials in the duty room.

"How did Xi Lin feel about my performance just now?"

As soon as he entered the inner hall, there was no one around, Chu Bandit immediately removed his gloom like a cicada shedding its shell, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, he insisted on sitting down with Zhao Liangyue.

"The desired effect has been achieved." Zhao Liangyue thought for a while, and said, "When I came back just now, Zhuo Shaoxia was completely intimidated by you, not to mention those officials who are already guilty of treachery."

Chu Bandit nodded slightly, and asked, "According to the way we set up the situation before, you deliberately went out and back, and the time was about two sticks of incense. It should have just arrived at the gate of the Wu Mansion. Can you see the Wu family?"

Zhao Liangyue shook his head: "As you expected..."

Chu bandit interrupted and corrected: "It should be as the brother expected."

"..." Zhao Liangyue was speechless, but he thought something important was going on in his heart, so he said along with him, "As expected, the Wu Mansion is still very lively in the afternoon. After a while, the building is already empty, but now we don't have enough manpower. The bureaucrats and yamen servants are intricate and complicated, and we will be rushing to Tang County in the near future, so this line is probably gone."

Chu Bandit tapped his finger on the edge of the table, paused, and said, "So, I can only grab something from today's situation."

"Then after I left just now, did I find any clues?"

"Not yet." Bandit Chu frowned, "In addition to seeing their confessions and getting angry, I just saw those old things snot and tears, ugly and fake."

"It is indeed deceitful. Those who really serve the country and the people are like Jiang Zheng's generation. They were either killed long ago or imprisoned. How could they be crowned like them, dressed in brocade robes, or harm the people like a fox pretending to be a tiger, or Don't make a sound to help the evildoers."

Chu bandit looked sideways out of the window, a hazy waning moon hung in the sky, and the night wind whizzed by, it felt a bit shaky, as if it was about to fall.

"Tonight's game has been set, and it depends on who the lurking person will choose."

It's ten minutes in the middle of the night, and the hour of Hai is coming to an end.

The duty room was dimly lit, and there was a faint sound of cicadas outside the window. Many officials yawned, and some directly fell asleep on the desk with their arms on their pillows.

Outside the duty room, several servants were guarding, and suddenly a small official jumped out from the room on the north side, clutching his stomach.

"What are you going to do?" A valet called to stop this little official with a round face and square eyes.

"I have a stomachache and I have to go to the latrine, sir, please do me a favor!"

"But how many times have you been here?"

"Forget it." Another valet next to him said, "Let him go, there are people watching over there, surrounded like iron barrels, can he still escape?"

So the servant waved his hand, telling the little official to go and come back quickly.

The little official ran all the way clutching his stomach, and when he reached the hut, he straightened up and hid under the shade of the tree.

He had come out several times before, and he had already grasped the inspection routes and time of these valet and bodyguards. Right now, he only needs to bypass them and seize the time to deal with that person, and he can complete his mission.

When the nearby bodyguards walked away, the little official was not as weak as he was in the daytime, and jumped up to the east wall of the inner courtyard.

On the eaves not far away, Zhuo Chuan and Youbai were watching this scene, Zhuo Chuan smiled: "Well, he always comes out to the latrine tonight, so I noticed him, there is indeed a problem."

Youbai sighed, dissatisfied and said: "That's because you are lucky."

Zhuo Chuan smiled in satisfaction, and then said: "But I doubt there should be more than this one, you go after this person, I'll go to the other side of the yard to watch."

"Row."

As soon as the words finished, Youbai flew over to touch him. Zhuo Chuan looked at his movement enviously, then turned and went west.

The little official hurried all the way, avoiding the inspection easily, and finally came to the small courtyard where Wu Yi used to live in the government office.

Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue were discussing important matters in this other courtyard this time, and they seemed to be holding a long-axis map in their hands, standing side by side in front of the fish pond.

The little official's eyes were sharp for a moment, and he sneaked towards the two of them, the dagger in his sleeve gleamed coldly.

The moment the little official stabbed out, a black shadow flashed past, and his wrist was instantly snapped off by a strange aura. The little official looked up in a hurry, and saw that the person who came was the young guard who had cracked Pei Qu's thigh with a blow during the day.

The little official shouted angrily, exerted strength with his arms, he was able to break free from Youbai's shackles, and instantly fought dozens of moves with Youbai.

Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue turned around and looked at the little official who was fighting with Youbai. Although Youbai had the upper hand in the fight, the little official was able to hide his aura as a martial artist during the day. I didn't realize that this skill is too special, and the identity behind it is not ordinary.

After a cup of tea, Youbai finally subdued the little official, and pressed the dagger on his neck instead.

But the little official suddenly laughed wildly: "It's late, you are already late!" After finishing speaking, he hit the dagger with his own neck, and Youbai quickly retreated.

But the little official still died, and died suddenly, spitting out black blood, obviously poisoned.

Bandit Chu has been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and when he bent down to take a look, he knew that the little official had put poison in the pressure tank in advance, and when he was restrained, he would bite through and kill himself.

Bandit Chu got up and asked Youbai, "Are there any other suspicious signs nearby?"

You Bai shook his head: "No, just this one."

Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue looked at each other, both had a bad premonition, thought for a moment, and said in unison: "It's Jiang Zheng."
