With the sound and the location, Zhao Ji captured Qian Duo in just a few breaths.

"Hey, what are the two officials fighting for? Our store is a small business, and these are all losses!"

The boss of Zuixianlou was startled by the noise. He ran to the door but didn't dare to come in rashly. After all, the people in this box were generally rich or noble. How could a small boss like him afford to offend them?

"Jingzhao Prefecture is handling the case. All idle people should leave. If there is any compensation, calculate the losses carefully and bring the list to Jingzhao Prefecture. You will be compensated."

"Alright, you two gentlemen, take your time fighting!" The old man's expression changed quickly, and he turned around and left with the waiter and the others. He was even considerate enough to clear out the people who were watching the fun.

Zhao Ji was secretly investigating on behalf of the emperor this time, so he naturally could not reveal his identity.

I had to rely on the name of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Fortunately, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture was a mediocre person. In the capital city where a falling brick could kill aristocratic families, he was just a small official, and Zhao Ji obeyed his orders.

Zhao Ji didn't take the mere compensation seriously.

Qian Duo had been captured. He looked at Zhao Ji's unfamiliar face and said, "Are you from Jingzhao Prefecture? We are colleagues. What are you doing?"

Zhao Ji pressed Qian Duo's head on the table and clearly heard Qian Duo's thoughts.

[Damn, my head hurts so much. Is this how everyone in Jingzhao Prefecture does things? When I’m released, I’ll go talk to Master Zhong!]

[But why did he ask me about the disaster relief money... How come someone is checking this money? ]

[What went wrong? I was the only one there that day, there is no way I could have leaked it, and even less so for Master Zhong...]

[How could I be so unlucky? I only got promoted to a commander, but not a cent of the money went into my pocket, and now I have to think of a way to cover it up! ]

Zhao Ji led the man directly out of the window, took him to a carriage in an alley, and began to interrogate him.

"You went to the treasury to withdraw the disaster relief money, right?" Zhao Ji's voice had a unique majesty.

Qian Duo's heart trembled when he heard this.

"It is indeed my humble servant who has done this. There should be nothing wrong with the superior appointing the subordinate to do the work, right?"

Zhao Ji saw that Qian Duo was very stubborn, so he didn't beat around the bush with him: "Commander Qian, I'm giving you a chance to make a contribution, don't be ungrateful."

"Speaking of which, Jingzhao Prefecture has uncovered some things recently. Someone reported that you got the position of deputy commander by bribery. Someone even reported that you were behind the previous deputy commander's appointment?"

Hearing this, Qian Duo turned pale, but he kept saying that it was unfair: "Sir, this is extremely unfair. I have always been an honest person. Where did I get the money to bribe?"

"Besides, I still live in a well-known poor alley in the capital. This is a blatant slander!"

Zhao Ji was too lazy to waste time talking to Qian Duo, this little follower. Since this guy refused to accept his toast, he would just drink a forfeit.

Then Zhao Ji didn't want to care about anything.

After all, Zhao Ji still liked his sister, Concubine Shu, very much.

It’s a pity that this brother is not sensible.

"Since you think that catching a thief requires taking away the dirt, and you won't cry until you see the coffin, then I will take you to see the coffin!"

Zhao Ji brought three people and took Qian Duo back to Qian Duo's house.

If you just look at the outside, the house where Qian Duo lives is indeed shabby, even worse than the living conditions of ordinary merchants.

However, Zhao Ji knew very well that no matter the gold, silver and treasures transported from his sister Concubine Shu, or Qian Duo's own money-making character, it was impossible for him to leave no way out.

"Let me think about where your gold, silver and treasures are hidden..." Zhao Ji pressed Qian Duo's shoulder with his arm.

His eyes pretended to scan the yard.

In fact, it was to find out Qian Duo’s true feelings.

[Just search it, if you can find my name, just write it backwards! ] Qian Duo was very proud.

Zhao Ji pretended to be distressed and pointed to the well in the yard: "You two go search down there, many corrupt officials like to hide their gold, silver and treasures here!"

In fact, Zhao Ji was just throwing out a smoke bomb, and his attention was all on Qian Duo's voice.

[How could I hide in such an old-fashioned place? I'm not in the yard at all.]

Before Zhao Ji's two men approached the well, they suddenly heard Zhao Ji shout, "Alright, no need to search this yard. I don't think he's here. After all, many corrupt officials like to set up secret rooms. Go check his study!"

Qian Duo's face froze and he pretended to be terrified on the surface.

In fact, he is extremely evil inside.

[Secret room? How can I make such an old-fashioned thing? Besides, the house will collapse as soon as I dig it, so where would I get the wall to build another room?]

[I was such a genius back then, since I could think of stuffing gold bars in the gap between the eaves, no one would have guessed it, and it was right above my bed in the dormitory! ]

[These idiots will never find it in their lifetime! ]

[I want to see what these idiots look like eating dirt here! ]

Qian Duo was watching Zhao Ji's show, but he didn't know that Zhao Ji was also watching Qian Duo's show.

Just as the two subordinates went to the study, Zhao Ji pulled them to the dormitory.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and pretended to be unintentional in the room. He drew his sword across the paintings hanging on the wall and pretended to knock on the wall to listen to the sound.

Finally, he pretended to have gained nothing and shook his head in frustration.

When Qian Duo saw this, he felt that he was safe, and couldn't help but find a chair and sit down with a proud look on his face.

However, at this moment, Zhao Ji lay directly on Qian Duo's bed, throwing the sword in the bed, throwing it up and catching it, throwing it up and catching it again.

He looked like he was about to give up.

However, the next second, Zhao Ji threw the sword upwards fiercely, directly piercing through the beam of the house.

Why are the civil debris falling down with a loud noise?

By this time, Zhao Ji had already jumped off the bed.

Amid the sound of a pile of scum falling onto the ground, crisp metallic knocking sounds were heard.

Zhao Ji didn't look at what was dropped, but looked at Qian Duo, who looked pale, and asked with a smile: "I wonder how Master Qian is going to explain this?"

"Don't tell me this house isn't yours. I've checked it out. This is what your father left behind. Your family was once so poor that even the neighbors wouldn't help you."

"So don't tell me that all this gold and silver treasure was left to you by your father."

"Oh, by the way, if you don't want me to spread the word that Concubine Shu is your sister, and that you have been working with Concubine Shu's maids to steal things from the palace and sell them outside the palace all these years..."

Zhao Ji looked at Qian Duo, who had collapsed to the ground, with a half-smile on his face. He said, "Then you should confess your crime. Then I might be able to let you off the hook and not implicate the palace."

Qian Duo didn't know how things turned out like this all of a sudden. Things developed so quickly that he had no time to react.

And Zhao Ji knows so many things!

There are really too many!
