He clutched his shoulders, his expression flustered, visibly frightened.

Liu Changqing glanced at him impatiently, and was about to say something, but Qi Ying had already changed his armor, walked over quickly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the grain merchant was also assassinated." ”

"What?" Liu Changqing pretended to be shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Fortunately, we were prepared, but the assassin was suspected of being a dead soldier and committed suicide by poisoning himself before he was caught." Qi Ying said.

Hearing this, Liu Changqing didn't react much, but Lin Youfu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "Liu ...... Lord Yanagi, can you find out the identity of the assassin? ”

"What do you say?" Liu Changqing glanced at him lukewarmly.

"This ...... This ......" Lin Youfu swallowed.

Liu Changqing ignored him anymore, but looked at Qi Ying and said: "You immediately transfer the grain merchant secretly, send additional manpower, and be sure to ensure its safety, this person is very important, and you must not let the other party kill people!" ”

"Humble duty understands!" Qi Ying clenched his fists and left.

After he left, Lin Youfu was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, this assassin is rampant, his origin is unknown, and he ...... On the lower official's side, please also send some more people to protect it. ”

"Hmph." Liu Changqing sneered and said unceremoniously: "Your life is no longer important to this official, this official still has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have so much energy to take care of you!" You're good for yourself! ”

As he spoke, he turned and left.

"What!? My lord, you can't do this......" Lin Youfu shouted, and hurriedly followed.

Seeing him like this, Liu Changqing seemed to be extremely impatient and stopped, and said angrily: "Lin Youfu! Just because you steal and exchange official food and fill your private pockets, you are already out of luck! Don't tell the official that the evidence is insufficient, and I'm not afraid to tell you that the official is here, and the king will be passed on soon, and at that time, when the power of heaven comes, you will be crushed! ”

As he spoke, he sneered again: "Do you think that someone will come to save you?" Isn't it too naïve! Look at Wei Zhong and Yang Taihe, Liangzhou is engaged, dignified and four-pin, he was the first to be arrested, after so many days, does anyone dare to come to catch him? Not to mention your little prefectural order! ”

"Why did the assassin kill you, don't you know in your own heart!"

Yes!? After hearing what he said, Lin Youfu couldn't help but staggered back two steps, and his heart suddenly felt like ashes.

Yes, no one in Liangzhou dares to save it, they will come to save their own small county order?

Since you don't dare to save it, then you are controlled, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, what is the best way, undoubtedly to kill yourself and kill yourself!

Thinking of this, after today's assassination, Lin Youfu's eyes were even more frightened.

After Liu Changqing glanced at him, he left directly.

When he returned to the study, Qi Ying also walked in and said with a smile: "My lord, after this incident, Lin Youfu was scared a lot, and his mentality has probably changed a little." ”

"Yes." Liu Changqing nodded and said: "Lin Youfu is not a fool, he now knows that he can't cover things up, plus the assassin matter, in order to survive, it is very likely that he will choose to cooperate with us." ”

"Your Excellency has a point." Qi Ying said, and couldn't help but say: "This trip with the lord Liangzhou can let the lowly position see the state of officialdom." ”

"Some corrupt officials and corrupt officials are nothing more than prevarication, perfunctory, and superficial, which is their usual trick." Liu Changqing said: "But then again, although we deceived Lin Youfu once today, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not really send assassins to kill people and kill people, so we have to protect it secretly." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, all the humble duties have been arranged." Qi Ying said: "They are really going to send assassins, just in time to arrest us." ”

"En......" Liu Changqing nodded again and said, "Give Lin Youfu a little time, he still needs to think about it." ”

The next day, Lin Youfu's room.

Right now, the wound on his shoulder has been simply bandaged, but after the assassin incident last night, he has been scared, and he even opens the door from time to time, wanting to leave here.

But he is now under house arrest, and the two guards at the door will let him leave.

After pacing back and forth in the room, Lin Youfu couldn't help but open the door again.

The two guards immediately frowned, and one of them said impatiently, "Lord Lin, are you finished?" ”

Obviously, this has happened many times.

This was due to the anxiety and uneasiness in Lin Youfu's heart, he looked outside and said, "No, why are you two here, you know, yesterday there were assassins lurking in and wanting to hurt the life of this official, so you should send more people." ”

"Our duty is only to watch over Lord Lin, as for the rest, it's not up to us." One of the guards said lukewarmly.

"You, what do you mean!" Lin Youfu said dissatisfiedly: "This official is now involved in a big matter, do you know that they want to kill people and kill people!" Why don't you call more people over! ”

"What kind of murder and extermination, what the adults say, I don't understand." The guard replied.

Hearing this, Lin Youfu became more and more anxious, he had been thinking about it all day, and he had been hesitating.

Seeing that it was meaningless to reason with the guards, he was just about to go back to the room, but after a pause, he suddenly said: "You go to inform Lord Liu, just say that I have an urgent matter to ask to see." ”

When the two guards heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

In the afternoon, inside the hall.

Liu Changqing glanced at Lin Youfu who was standing below, and said impatiently: "Let's say, this official doesn't have much time." ”

The latter swallowed his saliva, first organized the language, and then said tentatively: "The lower official dares to ask Lord Liu, has the official document here been submitted to the king?" ”

"It's not something you can ask." Liu Changqing said unceremoniously.

"Hehe, yes, yes......" Lin Youfu smiled dryly, and said: "But my lord, what the lower official wants to ask is, if the lower official can provide important information and clues, can he ...... Can you redeem your merits and save your life? ”

"Hmph." Liu Changqing sneered: "Are you more important than the grain merchant?" Now, whether you are or not is irrelevant to this official. ”

The more he said this, the more panicked Lin Youfu became, and he hurriedly said: "My lord's words are wrong. The grain merchant is just the smallest small role, what he knows, the lower officials know, what he doesn't know, the lower officials also know. ”

"Oh? In this way, the official underestimated you. Liu Changqing's heart moved.

Lin Youfu said: "That's it...... I just don't know, if the adults can save one or two......"

What does this sentence represent, it means that Lin Youfu already has plans to cooperate.

Liu Changqing suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "Let's talk about it, if the situation is true and there is indeed merit, this official will protect you!" ”
