It was not until the loud report from the general sounded outside the door that Xu Ping pulled his thoughts back to reality.

After opening the door, the miscellaneous officials led two officials in.

An official in his fifties in front bowed to Xu Ping: "The new censor, Sima Chi, came to the Salt and Iron Department at the order of the Lord of Taiwan to jointly hear the case of the three officials colliding with the prime minister and censor yesterday."

Another person said: "Wu Zunlu, the chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, came on the order of the prefect."

Xu Ping quickly stood up and just talked to the two of them.

Sima Chi was transferred back to Beijing from the position of Fengxiang Prefecture and took office after the New Year. He had to be transferred to Beijing's Censorate before the New Year, but he repeatedly politely refused and waited until now. However, it was precisely because of this that he escaped the great disaster of the censor who deposed Empress Guo before the New Year, and was blessed in disguise.

Wu Zunlu wrote a letter to offend the Empress Dowager during the Tiansheng period and was appointed as the governor of Changzhou. He was able to deal with locust droughts and droughts during his tenure. Because Fan Zhongyan recommended that he be transferred to the position of Quan Kaifeng Prefecture as the promotion officer.

Both of them were Jinshi during the Zhenzong period. They said that their qualifications were much older than Xu Ping, but their official positions were far different. The two people sent by the Censorate and Kaifeng Prefecture also meant that Xu Ping was the main one.

After saying a few polite words, Xu Ping introduced the current situation of the case to the two.

Sima Chi said: "When I came to the Sansi, Wang Xianggong personally handed me the name of the public official who made trouble yesterday. He also asked the deputy envoy to send someone to the list to get it."

Xu Ping smiled: "This is the only one list. How about copying another one to prevent accidents? You both were ordered to participate in this case. You are not easy to hide anything from you. So, together with judge Liu Wen, copying the list, while examining the names of officials from the three companies according to the list, and sending soldiers out to get people. Is that okay?"

The two bowed together: "But with the orders of the deputy envoy!"

Xu Ping asked the general outside the door to call Liu Han and said to him: "Take the censor and Wu Tuan to inspect the famous documents, prepare the staff, and obey the command of Sima Censor. Who should take it? How to interrogate it, don't be careless."

Liu Ying Yingnuo.

Sima Chi said to Xu Ping: "You are kind to the deputy envoy, please ask the deputy envoy to preside over this matter."

"I'm taking the official official of the Third Division, so I can't ask too much. Sima Zhizao is too worried."

There is no point in this kind of thing, so why should Xu Ping participate in it and make people suspicious? Let the people from the Censorate and Kaifeng Prefecture do it themselves and watch it with their own eyes, so that they can know how outrageous this matter is.

Although Zhizai Censor's position is not high, as the deputy chief of the Censor's Office, his status is extremely respectful. His entry and exit guides are much more powerful than Xu Ping, the deputy envoy of salt and iron. Since Xu Ping did not participate, Sima Chi was the main one among the three.

The three of them bid farewell to Xu Ping, and Liu Han took them to the official office of the military case to check the list first, and then arrested people according to the list.

The spring sunshine crawled in through the door window, warmly making the military officials a little lazy.

The officials on duty were forced to cheer up and traveled around with various famous books for the three officials on the middle table to check.

Sima Chi held the list recorded in front of Wang Zeng’s mansion yesterday, and chanted his name loudly in the middle, and said, "Who is the one who is named? I will continue to read the responsibilities of the three sects one by one."

Wu Zunlu and Liu Han lay on the table, searching one by one according to famous names. When they met, they randomly made a summons and asked the officers of the wing army next to them to take people to arrest them.

Putting the famous name in his hand aside, Wu Zunlu sighed: "What's going on? But after checking more than 20 people, five of them were not found! Could it be that many names were made up randomly yesterday?"

At this time, Sima Chi said with sincerity: "Liu Sanshui, the Salt and Iron Department set up a case to move forward--"

Liu Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "To be honest, I was in front of the Wang Xianggong's mansion yesterday, and the name of Liu Sanshui was reported. No one checked it at that time, and the public officials did not let each other protect each other. Whatever they said was what they said, probably many people were like me, and they casually made up a name and fooled things."

Wu Zunlu shook his head: "What is this picture?"

"Who knows what Wang Xianggong is going to do when he writes down his name? If he has doubts, he will naturally make up a name for the clerk to record it. He will not be able to find his head if he settles the accounts in the autumn." Speaking of this, Liu Ying's face became serious. "And, those who take the lead in causing trouble have a ghost in their hearts, I am afraid that they will not leave their real names at all. In other words, if we just take people according to Wang Xianggong's list, we will probably release the main culprit!"

This principle is very clear. Only those who are determined to be cut off and have no idea about their behavior yesterday will keep their names. These people are the most innocent.

Sima Chi and Wu Zunlu are both people who have been struggling at the bottom for many years. How can they not know this?

The two looked at each other and asked Liu Heng: "You were with you yesterday and you knew much more about the incident than we did. The Salt and Iron Company must have a countermeasure here. Why not tell us what we know and work together!"

"Where is there any countermeasures, I can only take one step at a time." Liu Heng just shook his head, "Now, we can only arrest the person who can be confirmed first and interrogate slowly. As long as hundreds of people work hard, they can always ask something."

At the same time, in a small side room next to Chief Xu Ping's Hall.

The two strong men were tied up with hands and feet tied up by ropes and lay on the ground, stretching their necks hard to look around the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, the door was heard, and the two men rolled on the ground almost at the same time, turned around and looked at the door.

Xu Ping raised his foot into the room, looked at the two of them, and closed the door casually.

Seeing Xu Ping wearing a purple official robe, the two men couldn't help but feel nervous. After living for decades, they had never dealt with the purple official robe. I heard that these people know astronomy and geography, which is extremely difficult to deceive, and I don't know if it is true.

Xu Ping did not speak, walked to the depths of the hut, and sat down on a chair.

The two big men were spinning on the ground, their eyes kept following Xu Ping's body and never left for a moment.

When Xu Ping sat down, the two of them found that there were six soldiers standing in the corner of the room, staring at them fiercely.

Seeing Xu Ping sitting there just looking at them and not talking, the two of them felt a sense of distress. After a while, a man with black face could no longer help but shouted: "We are both good people and have never committed crimes. Why did the officials send us here? What is this place? It doesn't seem to be a court!"

Xu Ping dusted the hem of his official robe and said casually: "Of course this is not a court, it is just a salt and iron yamen. As for whether you are good people--"
