Bai Shan went back and wrote a letter and gave it to Daji to send someone to Yizhou and Luojiang County. However, the letter never left the house and was returned to Mrs. Liu after being circulated around the house.

Bai Shan and Man Bao were called over for questioning.

Then Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment and then said: "If you believe it, I will send it out for you, but Master Wei also needs to tell him. They can do this kind of thing faster than us."

Mrs. Liu said: "Shanbao, you are going to school tomorrow, so don't go to Tianlao. Manbao, you are the same."

Man Bao opened his mouth and whispered: "We want to ask them again, more carefully."

Mrs. Liu pressed the letter on the table and said softly: "Master Wei and the others will do this kind of thing. It's bad luck in the prison, so don't keep running there."

Man Bao asked: "Can they be considered guilty of meritorious service? Can they be exempted from the punishment of beheading?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and couldn't help but look at Mr. Zhuang beside her.

Mr. Zhuang asked: "Who do you want to save from beheading?"

Man Bao whispered: "Ba Bo deserves what he deserves."

Mr. Zhuang understood, nodded slightly and said, "When we see Mr. Wei, we will mention it to him, but whether it will succeed or not will still have to be considered by the Ministry of Punishment."

Man Bao became happy and nodded cheerfully: "Okay, then we won't go tomorrow."

Bapu, who was still waiting for them to deliver food in the cell, could not wait for Bai Shan and others. Instead, he waited for a few high-ranking officials whom he had never seen before. He and the female prisoner diagonally opposite, named Qiuniang, were brought out together.

Go to interrogation.

Qiuniang knew everything and told her everything. Anyway, she had nothing to hide. Wei Zhi was very satisfied with her frankness and asked her in detail about what she knew about Maozhou, including where her mother-in-law lived and where she lived.

Where does the aunt mentioned live, how many people are in the family, what they do for a living, and whether they usually have contact with each other...

The question was very detailed, Qiuniang was worried, but she answered carefully.

Ba Bo, on the other hand, rolled his eyes. Although he answered the questions, he answered them in a general way, and even tried to find out their purpose.

But with Lord Tang in the hall, can he let Ba Bo succeed?

Seeing that he was so dishonest, Mr. Old Tang simply waved his hand and said: "This man is a thief, and he comes to Maozhou occasionally. I don't know much about him. Just leave this Qiu Niang. He can be sent back to wait for Qiu Zhan."

There are still three days until Qiu Zhan's due date.

Bapu's eyes widened, and he immediately lay down on the ground and said loudly: "I know, I also know a lot about Maozhou, please have mercy, sir, please have mercy."

Mr. Old Tang disliked him very much. He had four lives in his hands. In his opinion, no matter how great his achievements were, he should not be exempted from the death penalty, so he asked with a blank face, "What do you know?"

"I, I..." Bapu looked at the faces of the three adults in the hall and said cautiously: "Whatever the adults want to know, I can tell you something. I just ask you to be merciful and spare my life."

Mr. Old Tang snorted coldly and waved to the guards. They immediately stepped forward to pull Bapu down. Ji Xiang and Mr. Old Tang sang in harmony and sighed: "You are a very ignorant prisoner. If you had told the truth,

Maybe these three days can make you live a little more comfortably, maybe the beheading may be postponed to next autumn. If you want to avoid death? You know, don’t other people or prisoners from Maozhou know? We don’t

Asking other people, just you, is just to avoid trouble."

The officer was about to take Bapu out of the house. When he heard this, Bapu really cried and said with tears streaming down his face: "I say, I say, you can just ask the younger ones."

Mr. Old Tang then raised his hand, and the guards dragged him back again.

Neither Ji Xiang nor Wei Zhi spoke anymore. In terms of punishment, neither of them combined was as powerful as Mr. Old Tang.

Mr. Old Tang drank a cup of tea, pondered for a moment and then said: "I heard someone said that you have a very strong ear. What did you do in the army before?"

Bapu was startled and didn't understand why he brought up matters in the army. Neither Ji Xiang nor Wei Zhi expressed any objection and sat down to drink tea.

Seeing Mr. Old Tang frowning, Ba Bo immediately said: "The younger one is a scout and serves as an errand in the scout camp."

Ji Xiang couldn't help but frown, "How can there be people like you in the scout camp? They are actually deserters!"

Prime Minister Ji has worked in the army and as a scout, the first thing is loyalty, because they are always on the front line and know a lot of information. Once captured, the consequences will be disastrous.

Ba Bo said anxiously: "Not long after I entered the camp, I was transferred to the scout camp. I had no intention of escaping. Once I was fighting with Tibet. I was injured and fell into the forest. When I woke up, I was the only one."

Now, at the slightest thought, I ran away..."

He was a scout, and there were four comrades with him at that time. They detected the movements of the Tibetan army, but were accidentally discovered. When the five people fled back, his horse was hit, and he was also hit by an arrow, and he fell.

Into the woods…

Being a soldier was really hard, and he was always on the line between life and death. He thought that when they went back, they would definitely report that he was killed in the battle, so that his family would not be affected. As long as he left, he would be free to fly...

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he ran away.

Mr. Old Tang nodded slightly and continued his question, "So, your detective skills are very good. You were always successful when you stole in Yizhou City. The Huayang County Magistrate couldn't catch you several times. What about when you were in Maozhou?

, how could it be discovered at once?”

Mr. Old Tang leaned slightly and asked, "Whose house did you steal from?"

Bapu was stunned for a moment and then said: "The person who stole it was the Chu family. His family is a well-known wealthy family in Maozhou. His son married the daughter of the governor of Maozhou. Such a family has a lot of money."

Mr. Old Tang asked calmly, "Then why don't you go steal the governor Wang?"

Ba Bo: "...there are soldiers patrolling the governor's mansion, and I'm not stupid. I can just steal from the Chu family."

Mr. Old Tang nodded slightly and asked, "Did it go well?"

Babu hesitated and said: "It's going well. As soon as I entered, I found a courtyard. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any gold or silver. I only found a makeup box with many jewelry in it, so I took them all."

Mr. Old Tang: "Stolen it in Qianye?"

Babu nodded, "It was easy to be seen during the day, but there were more servants patrolling their house late at night, so I went in and stole it at night."

But how did this gentleman know?

Ba Bo raised his head and looked at Mr. Old Tang. No official had ever asked him like this before.

Mr. Old Tang asked, "What did you see and hear after you entered?"

"I didn't see anything. At that time, most of their families were spending time together in the main courtyard. There weren't many servants in the courtyard I went to, so I quietly avoided them and went in to steal."

Mr. Old Tang stared at him and asked, "Since no one found out, how could you be caught?"

"I was discovered when I went to the pawn shop."

Mr. Old Tang raised his lips and said, "What do you think you are?"

"A silver hairpin."

"The silver hairpin can be exchanged for silver directly at the silver shop, so why do you go to the pawn shop?"

"The silver house in Maozhou belongs to the Chu family. Although there is no mark on the silver hairpin, I still didn't dare to go there, so I went directly to the pawn shop. Who knew the pawn shop also belonged to their family."

"Didn't you check before you went?".

"I checked, but I really didn't know that the pawn shop belonged to them at that time."
