[The second and third updates are in the middle of the night, everyone goes to bed first and will read tomorrow]

midnight.

Jiao Shun hugged Xiang Ling and closed his eyes for a long time without falling asleep.

Firstly, he was worried about whether Mr. Chen's accomplices would take the bait tomorrow; secondly, he always felt that the other party was planning, what should I say...

It looks sophisticated on the surface, but in reality there are frequent loopholes.

I always feel that even if I don't find out in advance, I still have room for a comeback.

Is this a lack of ability on the part of the other party, or is there something in it that I haven't figured out yet?

After tossing and turning, he still couldn't fall asleep. Jiao Shun simply got up quietly, went outside to put some water, and then went into the south room of the east chamber in the dark - Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan's room.

Gradually there were some discordant movements in the dark night.

After another half an hour, there was thunderous snoring in the south room.

…………

Early the next morning.

After arriving at the Yamen, Jiao Shun pretended to be on duty to handle official duties, but in fact he kept his ears open, listening to the goings-on outside at any time and at any time.

He was not kept waiting for long. Not long after Chen passed, six or seven people rushed into the courtyard, headed by Hou Yun, the supervisor of the handyman office.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

When Jiao Shun came out and saw the unkind posture of the visitor, he knew that this must be the other party's move. While he made up his mind, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Hou Yun would be the first to attack!

This Chief Hou has always been a harmonious person since he joined the job, and has never shown any rejection. He has always been known as an idle cloud and a crane in the yamen, and he can be said to be one of the top salary thieves in the Ministry of Works.

But at this time, there was no kindness on Hou Yun's face.

He put his hands behind his back with a straight face and said firmly: "Jiao Suozheng, Hou Mou is responsible for offending me! Come on, bring Zhang Cheng and Zhang Hua and his son back to the office, seal up all the official documents and accounts in the office, there is no news about me,

No one is allowed in or out without permission!"

"Master Hou!"

Jiao Shun also darkened his face and said coldly: "Are you going to put Jiao under house arrest? But I don't know if this is an order from the director or an order from the ministry!"

At the same time, he secretly murmured in his heart, Hou Yun looked like he was going to break up completely, could he really be 100% sure of getting rid of him?

Did you really miss something?

"Jiao Suozheng misunderstood."

Hou Yun still explained with a straight face: "I also received a report that there was a corruption case in the office. As the inspection chief of the handyman office, I naturally cannot just sit idly by and ignore this - as for the department, I

I will report it later!"

As he spoke, he looked around and saw the office clerks and officials who were gathering one after another, and raised their voices again: "You just stay here and don't move around. When I find out the truth of the matter, I will naturally give you an explanation!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng, Zhang Hua and his son had been brought out by his men, Hou Yun flicked his robe sleeves neatly: "Let's go back to the department!"

Bah~

It's so orange!

After watching Hou Yun leave with Zhang Cheng, Zhang Hua and his son, Jiao Shun couldn't help but secretly spit.

"grown ups."

At this time, Zhao Yan and Liu Changyou came around, looking worried and hesitant to speak.

"Since Mr. Hou asked us to wait, let's just wait. Today is a collective rest."

Jiao Shun smiled disapprovingly, and then ordered Shuan Zhu to bring out a chair. He sat down in the middle of the yard under a big golden knife, closed his eyes and calmed down.

Of course, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and he was constantly thinking about the possibility of capsizing.

Judging from the feedback I got yesterday, Su Shilang's side should be reliable, not to mention that he has a file in the Beijing Prince's Mansion. If he really betrays the truth, he can also ask Beijing Wang Shuirong to come forward as a witness.

Hmm~

Not to mention being a flying dragon, at least he is in an invincible position. Even if the person behind the scenes cannot be punished in the end, he will definitely be able to avoid the stigma of corruption.

…………

After Hou Yun took the Zhang family father and son away, he did not rush to question them. Instead, he temporarily locked up the father and son separately, saying that he would first report to the Secretary before interrogating them.

He went to report it without mentioning it.

But Zhang Hua was taken to a small room, and two guards, who were either helpers or servants, told him to wait inside and then went out on their own.

As soon as they left the front door, someone shouted hoarsely outside the window: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Hua subconsciously walked to the window and was about to open the window to check, but the man stopped him and said: "Don't open the window, I will leave after just two sentences! You only have two quarters of time. If you can't persuade your Majesty to accept this decision,

thing……"

After a pause, the man continued: "You should have an idea of ​​what the situation is now. Although I have given you the money, whether you will get the Life Flower or not depends on your performance."

Zhang Hua naturally understood what this meant.

In fact, he had previously found it a bit strange that Mr. Chen had paid his reward so readily in advance without even forcing him to take the initiative.

But the moment I saw Hou Yun, these doubts disappeared.

Hou Yun is the supervisor of the handyman office. No matter what problem Jiao Shun has, he will definitely not be able to get around him when investigating the case. In this way, he is in the palm of his hand, and naturally he does not have to worry about betraying him.

It's a pity...

Even though they were planning every possible way, Jiao Shun had already figured out everything.

Zhang Hua sighed secretly, returned to his original place, sat down and waited. After a moment, sure enough, the two guards came back and took him to Zhang Cheng's room.

The father and son looked at each other, one looking suspicious and the other looking dejected.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Cheng first asked: "The report letter that Director Hou mentioned..."

"father."

Zhang Hua interrupted his father's words and said listlessly: "Master Jiao has already made a plan. We just have to wait and see."

Originally, he wanted his father to take the blame, but in this situation, what's the use of talking about whether he takes the blame or not?

Zhang Cheng's face softened slightly when he heard this, but he still said suspiciously: "Master Jiao has a plan for a long time? Even I don't know about it, how did you know about it?"

"father."

Zhang Hua rushed outside and said, "This is not the place to talk, so please stop asking."

Only then did Zhang Cheng shut up.

The father and son faced each other in silence, each having their own thoughts in mind, not on the same channel at all.

…………

Let’s go back and talk about Hou Yun.

At this time, he had already roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter in the inner hall of the Baigong Division in front of the head man and the two foreign ministers.

Then he took out the report letter, raised it above his head and said: "Because the letter claimed to be Jiao Shun's master, the official has brought it to the department. After waiting for the approval of the department, he will immediately confirm whether it is his."

for!"

A junior official came forward to take the letter and respectfully placed it on the official case of Zhao Yi, the doctor in charge.

Zhao Yi didn't even look at the envelope. He still stared at Hou Yun. After a while, he said playfully: "Since you have already reported it first, why did you come to report it without asking clearly?"

I heard Hou Yun reply in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "The lower official sealed off the handyman's office without authorization and took away the Zhang family father and son, in order to avoid leaking the news. Now that the situation is under control, it is natural to report it to the department first, and then the department will order an investigation.

"

"I see."

Zhao Yi nodded slightly, but his eyes turned to Xu Hui, the member of the foreign service unit on the side.

As an old partner for many years, Xu Hui immediately said with understanding: "If there is such a thing, naturally we cannot tolerate it! However, the handyman office is trying out the new policy, and Jiao Suozheng is the key to it. The matter is serious, I think

It is better to report to the ministry and ask the minister to make a decision in person."

"That's exactly what it should be."

Zhao Yi immediately stood up and called to Hou Yun: "Master Hou, please follow me to the Lord of the Ministry and explain the cause and effect carefully."

Hou Yun seemed to have expected that Si Li would probably kick the ball to the Ministry.

Immediately he responded respectfully and followed Zhao Yi out of the Baigong Institute.

After they left, the two Yuanwailang breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Nan, who was in charge of the smelting and textile institutes, shook his head and said: "Why would such a good person cause trouble again? Brother Guangmei [Xu Hui's courtesy name Guangmei], what do you think?

Is this Jiao Shun corruption case true or false?"

"Hmph~"

Xu Hui snorted: "Brother Huaiju, why do you need to ask me? How many people in the Ministry of Works are watching him? If there is really any corruption and bribery for personal gain, will it be his senior master's turn to come forward to report it?"

"Ha ha."

Liu Nan laughed, and then said seriously: "But those people should understand such a simple truth, but...do they really think they can call a deer a horse in the Ministry of Industry?"

Xu Hui shook his head slightly: "I'm just wondering, is there something fishy about this?"

"It doesn't matter so much."

Liu Nan stretched out: "Although they are making trouble, as long as Mr. Zhao is here, this Baigong Division can't turn the world upside down!"
