When Qin Xiao came to the front of the Ministry of War again, his treatment was completely different from last time.

He came alone two days ago. The guards of the Ministry of War were full of contempt and drove him away directly.

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

Of course, it was not him who feared the War Department, but Zhu Dongshan, the white and fat court servant in front of him.

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

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.

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

Zhu Dongshan did not disappoint Lu Junzhong.

Lu Junzhong has many cool staff, 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 at 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. Out the guilt they want to hear.

Zhu Dongshan's laugh makes people who know him creepy.

"Tell Fan Butang, Zhu Dongshan from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to see you." Zhu Dongshan smiled kindly, with a gentle voice: "I am waiting here."

The guards went to report soon. Soon, Dou Yan, the minister of war, ran to the yamen himself, and from a distance he clasped his fists and smiled and said, "Master Zhu, what wind has brought you here? Rare visitors, please come in. Please come in quickly. I heard that Master Zhu likes to drink tea. I happen to have some top-quality tea from Jiangnan."

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's stomach was bulged, and he followed Dou Yan to a spacious lobby of the Ministry of War. After he was seated, he smiled and said: "We are working in a street. We have been neighboring each other for more than ten years, but we haven’t visited each other. It’s really estranged."

"Master Zhu, you just need to walk around in the Ministry of Defense. We dare not enter the Ministry of Defense." Dou Fu smiled half-truth and said: "Except for the people in the Ministry of Justice, everyone else in the Ministry of Justice is going to be a lawsuit. Who do you say? Willing to run to the Criminal Ministry?"

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

Dou Fan shook his head. At this time, someone brought tea. 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 two catties for you."

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

Dou Fu

With a smile: "Master Zhu likes it, I will send it back to the house."

"That would cost Master Dou." Zhu Dongshan did not refuse, and smiled: "But coming today is not just for tea. Master Dou, this is a messenger who rushed to Kyoto from Xiling day and night. His surname is Qin, his name is Xiao, and his other identity is Heiyu Nightcrow, a guard under General Heiyu."

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

"You don't need to be surprised." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "This time you enter Beijing, besides being here, you should have seen another night crow. Like me, he is also a messenger who came to Kyoto to report military affairs, and Came to the Ministry of War two days earlier than me."

Dou Yan didn't seem to think 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 Duwei's Mansion. After this person entered Beijing, After resting at the inn for a 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: "However, after Han Yunong left that day, he never went back. Although Han Yunong said he would come to the Ministry of War, if he changed his mind halfway through, that might be the case. However. Qin Xiao was worried that Han Yunong’s disappearance would delay the 100,000-strong military situation, and wanted to find Han Yunong as soon as possible. But when he first arrived, he didn’t know anything about the situation in Kyoto, and in desperation, he found our Criminal Ministry, hoping that the Criminal Ministry could help find someone. After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly, "Han Yunong disappeared in Kyoto. It would have been better for this kind of thing to be handled directly by the Kyoto Prefecture, but Lu Butang felt that Han Yunong's purpose in entering Beijing was extraordinary. If Kyoto Prefecture was delayed , That is to miss the military affairs."

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

"So Lu Butang decided that since this matter is serious, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs must take up this burden for the imperial court." Zhu Dongshan said: "What Lu Butang means, send me to the Ministry of War to inquire about the situation, if it is indeed not there. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice will ask the painter to paint Han Yunong’s appearance according to Qin Xiao’s description, and then post a missing person notice in Kyoto to 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 Ministry of Justice, was drawn. I immediately recognized it, saying that it was the afternoon of February 5th. It seemed that Han Yunong had entered the Ministry of War."

Dou Fan remained silent, the small official of the Criminal Ministry who had been standing behind Zhu Dongshan finally stepped forward and said to Dou Fan: "My lord, I went out on business on the fifth day of February, and I have to do some errands, just passing by the Ministry of War. At that time, I saw someone waiting in front of the yamen 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 Ministry of Justice. The humble servant sees this picture more and more Familiar with it, Qin Xiao described Han Yunong’s clothing and accessories that day. The humble post immediately remembered that the person waiting in front of the Ministry of War’s yamen 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: "You will never remember the humble post. I will never read it wrong. If there is the slightest error, the humble job is willing to guarantee it with my head!"

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

Qin Xiao is this guy

Ask Dou Fan: "Master Dou, I wonder if Duwei Han has been to the Ministry of War on the fifth day of February? Did you report the military information of Xiling to Master Ministry?"

Dou Fan smiled faintly, but at this moment, he heard footsteps, and then saw Fan Wenzheng, a military officer in an official robe, walking in through the side door. Before anyone arrived, he heard him laugh and said: "Han Yunong In the Ministry of War." When he walked into the hall, Dou Yan had already got up and gave up his seat. Fan Wenzheng sat down, and Zhu Dongshan had already got up and said: "The humble post has seen Fan Butang."

"Master Zhu sat down and talked." Fan Wenzheng looked relaxed and smiled: "You came to the Ministry of War to find Han Yunong?"

"It is by the order of Lu Butang to inquire about it." Zhu Dongshan said with a smile: "Qin Xiao's status is low. He had been to the Ministry of War before, but was driven away before entering the Yamen. The military situation was delayed, so I came forward to ask."

Fan Wenzheng glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "The military headquarters is heavy. It is true that not everyone can enter. But Han Yunong did arrive at the military headquarters, and has been writing Zhezi here for these two days. The Xiling rebellion is of great importance and must be Write the cause and effect clearly. If it is ambiguous, how to present the memorial to the saint? Han Yunong came to Beijing from Xiling, traveling day and night, exhausted, and because of the loss of Xiling, he was in a heavy mood and trance, so he did not write the memorial in time. The official thought that there should be no difference 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 Penalty doesn't have to go 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 disturb the Ministry of Justice." Looking at Qin Xiao, frowning said: "Qin Xiao, although Han Yunong is missing, you don't need to get everyone involved. Everyone knows. If the people of Kyoto knew that Xiling was 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. 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 disturbance, and even bothered Master Zhu to come to the Ministry of War to ask, what should you be guilty of?"

"Fan Butang doesn't have to be angry." Zhu Dongshan immediately smiled and said, "Qin Xiao also worried that Han Yunong was really missing, so he missed the affairs of the country, and the young man became impulsive, which is understandable. By the way, Butang, Since Han Yunong is in 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 closed. Yes. You know, Lu Futang handled the case fairly and harshly, and the Criminal Department’s procedures were also orderly and there must not be any sloppy. Our two yamen are not far away. Han Yunong used to press his fingerprints and return immediately, and we will all It's easy." Seeing Fan Wenzheng's lips move slightly, before the other party refused, he continued: "Moreover, both Qin Xiao and Han Yunong are night crows under General Black Feather. These days, Han Yunong has disappeared, and Qin Xiao is very anxious, and let Han Yunong come out. Seeing, let him rest assured, Butang, don't you think?"

Fan Wenzheng frowned slightly, and Dou Yan smiled beside him: "Butang, since Master Zhu has said so, it doesn't matter if Han Yunong comes 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 did not mention that Han Yunong should go to the Criminal Ministry to close the case with his fingerprints.
