Half an hour later, Xiao He finished counting the Wang family's account books.

"My lord, please see, the number recorded on this is basically the same as the number that was lost in the government."

Zhao Yushi handed the account book to the entourage on the side, and after the man confirmed that it was correct, his tone became cold.

"Ren Xiancheng, what else do you have to say now!"

He angrily threw the account book on Ren Xiancheng, and said coldly:

"As a county magistrate, you colluded with unscrupulous businessmen, played favoritism, and were willing to degenerate, what crime should you be guilty of!"

"Favoritism? Stoop? ”

Ren Xiancheng glanced up at Zhao Yushi, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"In the past, when the king of Chu was still there, the old man was already the head of a county, and at that time the county didn't dare to say how rich it was, but most of the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the grains were abundant every year, so happy!"

"But since the king of Qin unified the four seas, the old man has seen more mourning all over the wilderness, his wife is scattered, relying on the money given by the yamen, not to mention making a fortune, even supporting his wife and children has become a problem, may I ask, if the old man doesn't take something from it, how does my county yaya work? How to resettle the people? ”

Ren Xiancheng said that there was no fear on his face, and his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yushi even had a touch of provocation.

"The old man admits the corruption, isn't it just a tattoo on his face, and he is assigned as a slave, anyway, the old man has lived for most of his life, he should have seen it, and what is there to be afraid of!"

"You!"

When Zhao Yushi heard this, he was angry for a while.

Originally, he thought that this county would cry and beg for mercy, but he didn't want to be fearless.

Now, he is in a dilemma.

According to Qin's law, those who commit corruption and dereliction of duty will be punished as theft, and all of them will be exiled from the army with tattoos on their faces.

But according to the age of the other party, it is not within the scope of the army.

In the end, I'm afraid it's just a turn.

It's a tricky thing to do.

He looked at the entourage behind him, who also shook his head helplessly, obviously this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Zhao Yushi was a little annoyed, and suddenly saw that Xiao He still had a sad face, and couldn't help but feel relieved:

"Xiao He, the court will definitely give you justice in this matter, you don't have to worry, this official ......"

"My lord, in fact, there is one thing that the officials are puzzled about, although there is basically no doubt about this account, but there is a batch of lost weapons that are still missing, but it is a pity that this is more than 20 years ago, and a lot of details are missing, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find out." Xiao He's tone was a little pity.

"After all, it's been a long time since you were able to do this, it's already very good."

Zhao Yushi nodded and sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Chu Yang, who had been silent, spoke.

"I heard that 20 years ago, the former Peixian county commander was robbed and killed by robbers on his way to Beijing, and a few weapons were left at the scene, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"Teacher!"

Seeing Chu Yang, Xiao He saluted respectfully, and immediately spoke:

"The disciple has indeed heard about this, but I don't know what it has to do with today's events?"

Zhao Yushi secretly looked at Chu Yang, and saw that his demeanor was calm, and he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of himself, so he couldn't help but nodded.

No wonder being able to subdue a student like Xiao He really has some ability.

Chu Yang didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at Ren Xiancheng on the side and said with a smile:

"I don't know what Ren Xiancheng thinks about this matter?"

"What is there to say about the old man, the old county order was unfortunately killed, and the old man was also grieved, and he even fasted for a year to respect his people, you can know whether these things are true or false if you inquire casually!" The people of Ren County glanced at this side lightly, and their expressions were indifferent.

"Grief? I can't see it......"

Chu Yang snorted coldly, and then changed his words:

"You may not know that twenty years ago, before the old county order reported to Beijing, he had the intention of retiring, and that time he went to Beijing to recommend a trusted person and entrust Pei County to that person.

At that time, under the rule of Pei County, only the Duke of Lu in the north of the city and our Ren County Cheng were highly respected and talented, and they were also the most popular candidates for the next county Cheng. ”

"According to the meaning of the old county order, he will teach him by word and deed for a year or two, and after the candidate is familiar with the political affairs of Pei County, he can leap up and become the respect of a county."

"It's a pity that his old man met a robber on the road, lost his life, and finally left only a letter of recommendation, which was lost to future generations, and everyone knew about the later things, the court got the letter of recommendation, and saw that it was written in the name of Ren County, so he gave the county the position of Cheng."

"Young Master Chu, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning the court's decision-making? Ren Xiancheng said coldly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yushi and Xiao He also looked at each other, with puzzled expressions.

Could it be that there is a hidden story behind this matter?

Chu Yang looked at everyone and said word by word:

"I once heard Lu Gong say that you knew that the old county order liked calligraphy, so you worked hard all day to study the font and do what it liked, and in the end it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake from the old county order."

"What! There is such a thing! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yushi and Xiao He were also shocked.

Listening to this meaning, it is difficult to believe that the letter of recommendation is fake!

If that's the case, wouldn't that be the murder of the old county commander......

"Humph! All this is just speculation, what proof do you have! Ren Xiancheng sneered.

"I have to say, you are very smart, and you have the means to do everything seamlessly, even when Lu Gong told me about this, he was only a little embarrassed, why did the old county commander suddenly change his mind on the way to Beijing, after all, the other party had personally told him that he would recommend him as the county prince!"

Chu Yang sighed, bent down and picked up a scroll of accounts.

"It's a pity that today's account matter has exposed your feet."

He looked at Xiao He and asked:

"After the old county order was killed, can those murder weapons be sealed?"

"It's all left there, what does the teacher command?"

That old county commander also has a deep relationship with their Xiao family, and now when he hears that he is likely to be assassinated, he grits his teeth with hatred.

"If I remember correctly, all the weapons produced by my Great Qin will have the date of production and the name of the craftsman recorded on them, you just need to find and check with the ones that are lost in the accounts, and you can find out!"

Chu Yang looked at Ren Xiancheng condescendingly, and said lightly:

"The crime of embezzlement naturally won't cost the county Cheng's life, but this crime of smuggling weapons and hiring murderers will kill a lot of people, and the county is not afraid?"

"You...... You ......"

Ren Xiancheng raised his head, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken.
