Father can be an enemy to the country

Hu Quan was furious here, while Zeng Tai was still aggrieved: "I am also following His Highness's will. I oppose everything the other party proposes, and that is why we have reached this result."

"Then you should be smarter. People can see that you are just trying to make a point!" Hu Quan said angrily: "You deliberately offered an option that you didn't want first, and then you gave him the option that he wanted. !”

"Oh, it's all over." Zeng Tai knew that he was in the wrong, so he slapped himself depressedly, and then gritted his teeth and said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll just get them back!"

"Can I get it back?" Hu Quan was startled.

"Ah, they are not criminals. According to Xiong Qitai, they just happened to meet at the scene of the accident." Zeng Tai was extremely angry, and his mind was surprisingly bright. "Then after the questioning, can they still be imprisoned? We must let them go home."

"Is that so, where do they live?" Hu Quan looked slightly confused.

"They are officials of the Chief Secretary, so naturally they live in the official residence of the Yamen."

"You went to the Chief Secretary's mansion to pick up someone? Can you get out of the Chief Secretary's gate?" Hu Quan said speechlessly: "When the imperial envoy speaks, you still have to let me go?"

"It doesn't matter, I have a plan. I will find an excuse to ask them to come to the police department one day, and then detain them! Then hide them and interrogate them slowly." Zeng Tai also took the risk and said fiercely: "Shen Liben Let me release him, he must find someone first!"

"Can you withstand the pressure?" Hu Quan asked in shock.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. How can they carry me into the well?!" Zeng Tai waved his right hand with a very determined expression.

"Where did you get this sudden energy?" Hu Quan looked at Zeng Tai as if he didn't recognize him.

"Brother Ge, they dare to play tricks on me!" Zeng Tai snorted angrily: "I hate most in my life that others treat me as a fool! I will fight with them!"

Early the next morning, the Chief Secretary Yamen.

The chief envoy Xiong Qitai invited all the officials involved to have breakfast, which was actually a fan meal.

There are all kinds of rice noodles on the table, such as Nanchang mixed rice noodles, Jiujiang fried rice noodles, Jingdezhen cold rice noodles, Xinyu pickled rice noodles, Gannan three fresh rice noodles... There are various varieties for you to take.

The officials were questioned all night long. They were all too hungry and tired to talk. They all kept their heads down and whispered. For a moment, there was the sound of huffing and puffing in the room...

After a bowl of powder, the officials' faces finally showed some color. Xiong Qitaifang said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I had no choice but to make you suffer."

"The lord's words are serious. We know that this matter is not your fault." The officials said bitterly: "It's all our fault that Zeng Tai, that Sichuanese man, insisted on using a chicken feather as a command arrow to hold on to us."

"What's our fault? We didn't kill the person, we were just unlucky to meet him. What do you think we should do? Just detain us like prisoners? Is he still a human being?"

"Okay, okay, isn't this all over?" Xiong Qitai said with a smile: "If you've used it early, let's go back. I'll give you a day off today. Take a good bath, catch up on your sleep, and get rid of any bad luck tomorrow. Wake up and it’s a brand new day!”

"Fantai, is this matter over?" the officials asked in surprise.

"It's over. What's so complicated about this?" Xiong Qitai asked: "As you said, you are just unlucky, why do I still have to charge you with a crime?"

"Oh, Fan Tai is really the best boss in the world!" After hearing this, all the officials got rid of their depression and sleepiness, and stood up and thanked Fan Tai, expressing their determination to repay Fan Tai's kindness in the future.

"It's all a big deal, and Zeng Niantai is the same." Xiong Qitai waved his hand and said calmly: "It's just a trivial matter, what's the big deal? Just hurry up and get there."

"It's a small matter to the feudal lord, but it's a big deal to us!" All the officials clasped their fists in unison: "Please accept my respect."

After thanking him again and again, they said goodbye and left Zhengya.

The Chief Secretary's dormitories...which are also dormitories, are concentrated in the northeast area of ​​the Yamen, so officials also go home in groups.

Although they were cursing, they were actually very happy. Being an official in the Ming Dynasty was a high-risk industry, and every near miss was worth celebrating, so someone made an appointment to have a drink at noon.

While the officials were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere suddenly changed because they saw an official from the Inspectorate waiting in front.

They immediately lowered their faces and cursed: "It's not over, right? The feudal lord has said that the case can be closed!"

"Don't get me wrong, gentlemen, we have the same attitude in Taiwan." The official said with a smile, "So I ordered this villain to come and invite you all to sign the closing documents."

"..." The expressions of the officials softened a little. The Chief Secretary was in charge of civil affairs. It was said that he was acting as an agent to investigate cases according to the inspection envoy. It was just an expedient measure under the orders of the imperial envoy, so the documents to close the case still had to be issued by the Chief Secretary.

Doesn’t anyone dare to say ‘it can’t be one day late’? Officials understand the principle of long nights and frequent dreams, not to mention that Zeng Tai is still a big deal-maker.

"Let's go, sign the paperwork, and it's over." The officials followed the few officials and returned to the Inspectorate...

The official took them to the door of the signing room, and the clerk at the door told them: "Go in one by one, enter through the front door, and go out through the back door. After signing, you can go home directly."

The officials just wanted to end it all quickly, so they lined up to go in one by one without any nonsense.

It was the third person's turn to go in, Chief Secretary Right Councilor Li Bian. He entered the room to sign the deposit. Under the guidance of the clerk, he came to the desk, but he did not sign immediately and sign the deposit as instructed.

His professional habits made him very cautious, lest he be deceived by the inspectors, so he read his confession word for word. He was engrossed in reading when he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head. He fainted without even making a sound. .

The officer standing behind him was well prepared, and immediately put his hands under his armpits from behind him, holding him firmly. Then he dragged the unconscious Counselor Li into the inner room.

Who would have expected that such inhumane banditry would occur in the dignified provincial government office and in Mr. Naitai’s custody room?

So two more officials were caught unprepared and dragged into the inner room.

The rest of the officials were also unaware. After signing and stamping, they went home and went to sleep. They didn't realize that three people were missing.

Looking at the three 'Sleeping Beauties' lying side by side on the ground, Zeng Tai was stunned and said: "Are they so professional?"

"That's right." Hu Quan said with a proud smile: "In the past, when we were short of food and clothing in our village, we would go down the mountain to kidnap meat coupons, and we never failed."

"I admire you, I admire you." Zeng Taigong handed over his hand, thinking that it was no wonder, it turned out that he was returning to his old business.

"Then we will take the people away." Hu Quan said with a smile.

"Let me say hello to you." Zeng Tai said hurriedly.

"No need, just with your guards, I can steal Master Nitai out without any effort." The uncle said confidently.
