Li Dan's death caught Liao Weizhang off guard, and this matter must be reported to the emperor immediately, after all, Li Dan is also a county magistrate, and he was inexplicably killed, and he can't escape the blame.

Hurried back to Jingzhao Mansion, Liao Weizhang couldn't wait for tomorrow morning, so he immediately wrote an excerpt, changed into an official uniform and entered the palace overnight to ask to see the emperor.

Zhuang Yan was reviewing the excerpts of the day before the case, and the eunuch stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Jingzhao Yin Liao is asking to see you outside, saying that there is something urgent to play." ”

The attendant eunuch on the side saw Zhuang Yan nodding and raised his voice: "Xuan." ”

Liao Weizhang walked in a hurry, his robe was beating back and forth at his feet, and he didn't care about the wind that he brought, so he quickly entered the hall and knelt down, and said in fear: "The criminal minister has something to do." As he spoke, he held the fold in both hands.

The attendant eunuch stepped forward to take it, Zhuang Yan looked at it, and put the fold aside, "I know, you have nothing to do about this matter, it is difficult to prevent the villain from doing trouble, I don't blame you, I just want you to bring the prisoner to justice as soon as possible." ”

Liao Weizhang didn't expect the emperor not to blame, and immediately kowtowed gratefully and thanked him: "Thank you to the emperor for his grace, and the minister will definitely bring the prisoner to justice to repay the emperor's grace, and the minister will do his best for the emperor." ”

"Well, I know you're faithful. Since Li Dan has been killed, do you have anyone to recommend for the position of magistrate of this Bao County?"

Liao Weizhang was shocked, the emperor wanted to recommend himself? Xindao was so trusted and valued in the emperor's heart, and said more and more respectfully: "The minister has Zhao Zhishan, a fellow township, and he was promoted to the Jinshi with the minister, but he is upright and upright by nature, and he offended a powerful person, and he has no chance with officialdom since then.

However, this person is full of talents, but he has the ambition to serve the country but has no way, but it is a pity that he has nowhere to display his full of knowledge, so he can only resettle in the countryside to farm. ”

Zhuang Yan bowed slightly: "I will order the Ministry of Officials to check, if this person is really talented and learned, and as you said, I will reuse it." ”

Liao Weizhang was secretly happy in his heart, Zhao Zhishan was actually not only his fellow countryman, but also his friend, he had promised earlier that if he had a creation, he would definitely help Zhao Zhishan.

"The minister thanked the emperor for Zhao Zhishan. Liao Weizhang bowed respectfully.

Out of the palace, Liao Weizhang took a long breath, and the panic when he came was gone, he didn't expect the emperor to be so generous and benevolent, not only did he not blame himself, but let him recommend the county governor, which is really gratifying.

At that time, in the courtyard of the Wu family, several masters gathered in the conference hall again, Wu Haotian was sitting in the main seat, his eyes swept over several other people, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

Wu Haocheng's face was red and white, and he hung his head and didn't speak.

Wu Haoyi gloated: "Big brother, I said a long time ago that people with foreign surnames can't be used, but you didn't listen, but now it's okay, something happened." ”

Wu Haocheng hated him, turned back to Wu Haotian and said: "Big brother, I still don't believe it, Brother Fan Nei is a good person on weekdays, he has taken care of Wu Ji Rice Warehouse for two years, and there has been no problem, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in the middle."

And if you really want to say that the person with a foreign surname is not credible, isn't this person who sent the letter even more untrustworthy, don't you want to think about how he knows about this?" he glanced at Wu Haoyi.

"Second brother, aren't you confused by that lady surnamed Fan? Just now it was the family of the household servant, can't you still guess their intentions?"

Wu Haoyi said to Wu Haotian again: "Big brother, according to what I see, the matter of our Wu Ji Rice Warehouse must have been known by those ministers a long time ago.

In the past two days, Jing Zhaoyin has led people to investigate everywhere, isn't it precisely to check Wu Ji Rice Warehouse? If he finds out anything, the household servant is an official with him, and he will be able to know the news with a little inquiry.

My Wu family is so rich, those big officials must have deliberately wanted to befriend us, and now the head of the household has taken the initiative to signal, how can we turn people away.

Big brother, that's from the three products, and the finance and taxes are all in charge of their households, I think, this person is definitely worth associating. ”

Wu Haocheng also knew that it was impossible for the household servant to send fake news, just as Wu Haoyi said, Liu Gan revealed between the lines that he obviously wanted to make friends, so he naturally had to send charcoal in the snow.

But he still couldn't believe that the Fan family brothers would do such a thing, the letter sent by the family Ding said that Fan Tie and Fan Qing had caused their lives with shoddy goods, and now Jing Zhaoyin has already targeted those two, if they are not properly handled, the Wu family will be implicated.

However------ but ------ thought of his wife Fan, Wu Haocheng's heart was uncomfortable, and he looked at Wu Haotian pleadingly: "Big brother, do you really want us to personally arrest ------ and him and send them to Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Only the righteous destruction of relatives can show our innocence. Wu Haoyi continued: "If the two of them hadn't done something lacking in morality, we wouldn't have to do this job, but now the Wu family wants to clear up the relationship, and the only way to arrest him and go to the official is to arrest him." ”

Wu Haocheng frowned tightly, and asked as if compromised: "But we don't have any evidence, how can we arrest people, arrest people for no reason? ”

"There are so many of our people in Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, and they are still worried about asking for clues?"

Wu Haocheng finally shut up, he knew that it was a foregone conclusion, but he was really uncomfortable in his heart, how to say that it was also his brother-in-law, he strongly recommended these two people to manage Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, and now that such a big thing has happened, it is his own responsibility.

The third child has always coveted Wu Ji Rice Warehouse, and he will definitely take this opportunity to win Wu Ji Rice Warehouse over.

"Big brother------ you have something to say. Wu Haocheng was anxious and annoyed.

Wu Haotian closed his eyes for a long time before he opened his eyes and said, "I know that there is evidence to catch Fan Tie and Fan Qing." ”

Several people were shocked, and even the fourth and fifth brothers, who had not spoken, looked at each other and asked, "Big brother, did you know that the Fan family brother had a ghost in his heart?"

Wu Haotian sighed: "I also learned from the letter that Shiwei asked his little boy to send back the night before. ”

At that time, Wu Haotian knew about the Fan family brothers, although he didn't know where Wu Shiwei knew, but he still sent people to keep an eye on Fan Tie and Fan Qing, and sure enough, today's daytime eyeliner returned, saying that Fan Qing went to Liaoer Hutong.

Liao'er Hutong is not a place where serious people will go, Wu Haotian immediately sent someone to guard outside the Fan family's mansion to prevent Tie and Fan Qing from escaping.

Wu Shiwei also said in the letter where the batch of mildew was hidden, Wu Haotian also sent someone to secretly investigate, there was indeed someone guarding, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he pretended not to know, but he also let people guard secretly, once there was any movement, immediately come to inform him.

"Big brother?" Wu Haoyi shouted.

Wu Haotian snorted, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, in the end, the Fan family and his own family are in-laws, Wu Haotian hesitated two days ago and did not report to the official, he was also thinking about whether there was a way to compromise, but now that the household servant has sent a letter, he can only choose to kill his relatives in this matter.

"Third child, you go and do this, and send people to Jingzhao Mansion tonight. Wu Haotian finally said.

Wu Haoyi immediately smiled, "Big brother, don't worry." ”

Wu Haocheng's face was extremely ugly, and when the fourth and fifth children were gone, he said, "Big brother......."

"I know what you're going to say, and if she doesn't know, I won't embarrass you, but if she -------"

"I understand, thank you, big brother. Wu Haocheng finally showed a little joy, and left in a hurry.
