Early the next morning, Master Cui, who had prepared a large amount of cash, sent someone to ask to see Li Qi, he didn't dare to ask to see General Xiahou, but it should be nothing to ask to see Li Gongzi, after all, Li Gongzi didn't say that he didn't like to be disturbed.

Master Cui thinks that Li Qi is a good person, the kind of good person who can disturb me at any time as long as you use money to disturb me.

The person who came said that it was Master Cui who invited Li Qi to go to the mansion, and Li Qi replied that he knew, and told your lord that I will be there later.

Then Li Qi went to find Xiahou Zhuo, who was practicing in the courtyard, in the winter, shirtless, carrying a stone lock in each hand.

Li Qi said as he walked: "Don't you raise it first, there's something." ”

The two stone locks in Xiahou Zhuo's hand almost fell to the ground, he glared at Li Qi and said, "Can you not use the words that are not raised, isn't it good to use individual words?" ”

Li Qi said: "Don't stop lifting." ”

Xiahou Zhuo raised the stone lock and chased after him, and Li Qi walked around the pillar.

Li Qi said: "It seems that Master Cui has taken the bait, just now he sent someone to invite me to the mansion to meet, I guess he has already understood." ”

Xiahou Zhuo put down the stone lock, took the towel handed to him by his soldiers, wiped the sweat, and said, "How much silver can you swindle?" ”

Li Qi snapped his fingers and calculated: "Liu Wenju's industry in Xinzhou City is not an exaggeration to say that the daily income is gold, at least one-third of this money will go into Cui Hansheng's pocket, the most conservative estimate is that Liu Wenju has 100,000 taels of silver, then Cui Hansheng will not be less than 50,000 taels in his hand, because Liu Wenju is not the only one who sends him money." ”

Xiahou calculated that 50,000 taels of silver, according to the pension of ten taels per person, was not enough to give to the fallen soldiers.

He looked at Li Qi, who roughly understood from his expression, and nodded: "I'll work hard." ”

Xiahou Zhuo clenched his fists: "Believe in yourself!" ”

Li Qi: "......"

Not long after, Li Qi arrived at the Yamen of Xinzhou Mansion, Cui Hansheng Cui was already waiting anxiously, pacing back and forth in the room, hearing that Li Qi had arrived, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Li Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I have to bother you to come here in person, I should have come to visit, and I am afraid of disturbing General Xiahou's rest......"

Li Qi waved his hand, his face was very gloomy, which made Cui Hansheng's heart suddenly tighten.

He found that Li Qi's face was very bad, very bad, as if he had just encountered a lot of troubles, and this troubles were not only many but certainly not small.

"Li Gongzi?"

Cui Hansheng was embarrassed to talk about his own business directly, so he asked tentatively: "This is, what happened to annoy you?" ”

Li Qi sat down, didn't answer, sat there for a long time, and then slapped the table with a bang.

"This waste Liu Wenju!"

He slapped his palm on the table, and the table immediately fell apart, and the tea set on the table was also scattered on the ground and shattered.

Li Qi looked at Cui Hansheng and said, "This is the person you recommended to me?!" This Liu Wenju, after arriving at Daizhou Pass, first angered General Xiahou, General Xiahou didn't care about the military salary he sent, he knew that Prince Wu had arrived at Daizhou Pass, and he actually bypassed General Xiahou and ran directly to ask Prince Wu to see him! ”

Cui Hansheng's heart was shocked, the information revealed in these few words was enough to make people afraid, bypassing General Xiahou to ask to see Prince Wu, let alone seeing it, this kind of officialdom taboo thing, how could Liu Wenju dare to do it?

Li Qi said: "I now know why General Xiahou is so cold to you, it's all because that Liu Wenju, a businessman, dares to do such a rampant thing, and you still say that he is capable of doing things?!" ”

Cui Hansheng raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat that broke out in an instant, and hurriedly apologized: "Then Liu Wenju is indeed too bold." ”

Li said: "That's not all, you think it's over?" When General Xiahou heard that Liu Wenju had gone to ask to see Prince Wu, he was furious and killed Liu Wenju. ”

"Ahh

Cui Hansheng's face suddenly turned pale.

Li Qi said: "I persuaded for a long time last night, but General Xiahou's anger has not subsided now, do you think he is just cold to you?" When I was drinking with me last night, I asked three or four times, what should Cui Hansheng do? ”

Cui Hansheng pounced and knelt down.

He was a dignified ruler, and he actually knelt down like this.

Cui Hansheng wiped his sweat and said, "Please also ask Li Gongzi to save me." ”

Li Qi said: "You get up first, I temporarily stabilized Xiahou last night, but his anger has not subsided, you should already know, before Xiahou Gongzi came, Liu Wenju's family sent a few carts of silver to Daizhou Pass, and the silver was not asked by General Xiahou, but by Liu Wenju to be dedicated to Prince Wu." ”

He pointed to Cui Hansheng's nose and said, "What kind of person are you using!" He wanted to directly talk to Prince Wu, but he didn't know that he couldn't see Prince Wu at all, and Prince Wu might not know about those carts of silver, but a small counselor under Prince Wu's account could stop it. ”

"I didn't tie up with Prince Wu, and I lost my life, that's all, after all, it was Liu Wenju who died eating things inside and out."

Li Qi continued: "But you can't tie up Prince Wu, you have offended General Xiahou, what do you say you should do about this matter?" ”

Cui Hansheng said: "Listen to you, Gongzi Li, you must save me." ”

After Li Qi sighed, his tone softened.

"It's not too late for you to make amends."

Li Qi said: "While Prince Yu has not yet arrived, you hurry up to make up for General Xiahou's anger, if you can't do it, the prince will arrive in Xinzhou, and General Xiahou will tell the prince about you, don't talk about your future future, I'm afraid your life will be gone." ”

Li Qi leaned over and looked into Cui Hansheng's eyes and said, "If I didn't think that you are a person who understands current affairs, and you are also thinking about your humble study, I will come to tell you this?" General Xiahou is still angry, I should avoid you. ”

Cui Hansheng slammed his head to the ground.

"Li Gongzi, save me, Li Gongzi."

Li Qi stretched out his hand to help Cui Hansheng up: "Look, you are also frightened, you don't have any idea at all, how have you been an official for so many years?" ”

He helped Cui Hansheng up and said: "Now I'll show you a clear way, think about it, General Xiahou is angry, is he angry with you?" ”

Cui Hansheng's heart brightened a little when Li Qi said this, and he replied tentatively: "Yes, it should be angry with Liu Wenju." ”

"That's right."

Li Qi patted Cui Hansheng on the shoulder: "Liu Wenju, this person, has deceived and deceived people in Xinzhou City, and over the years, how many people have been killed in secret, as the parent official of Xinzhou, you have already heard of it, and you have secretly sent someone to verify it, and it just so happens that you have found Liu Wenju's many major crimes at this time......

Li Qi winked at Cui Hansheng, and Cui Hansheng immediately came to his senses, if he didn't understand what Li Qi meant, then he was really an idiot.

"Understood, the lower official understood!"

Cui Hansheng said with a somewhat excited face: "I'll arrange for someone to raid Liu Wenju's house, this bastard thing, trapping the people, killing innocents, this is not serious, what is even more serious is that he actually colluded with the rebels!" ”

Li Qi nodded: "Master Cui is wise." ”

Cui Hansheng continued: "After the official found out, he immediately personally led people to seize all the properties and items under Liu Wenju's name, and it happened that General Xiahou was in Xinzhou, so this official felt that the case should be handed over to General Xiahou for disposal, and of course, the proceeds of the seizure should also be handed over to General Xiahou." ”

Li Qi lowered his voice in Cui Hansheng's ear and said, "Do you know why I want to mention this?" ”

Cui Hansheng said: "It was Li Gongzi who saved me, and Li Gongzi was very kind." ”

Li Qi snorted: "Fart, Liu Wenju has given you a lot of money over the years, there must be no clarity between you and him, I will hand over the case to you, you will deal with it personally, and when you hand it over to General Xiahou again, can't you still take yourself out?" If you are clean, I will be clean. ”

Cui Hansheng's eyes lit up.

"Gongzi Li, you are tantamount to my Cui someone's reborn parents."

Choi Hansheng bowed again.

Li Qi smiled and said: "For your business, I am also heartbroken, after knowing General Xiahou's thoughts last night, I sent someone to look for evidence overnight, and I happened to find out something about Liu Wenju......"

Li Qi paused, then looked at Cui Hansheng and said, "Liu Wenju's family has imprisoned a person named Liu Shanshen, right?" This Liu Shanshen used to be an official in Jizhou, and later resigned and came to Xinzhou to seek refuge in him, but he coveted the beauty of Liu Shanshen's daughter, and even wanted to kill people, and now Liu Shanshen's family of three has been rescued by me, and they are next to General Xiahou. ”

Cui Hansheng's cold sweat that had just fallen suddenly came out again.

Li Qi said: "Master Cui, you have nothing to do with this, right?" ”

"No, no, it doesn't matter at all!"

Cui Hansheng waved his hand again and again: "I really don't know, I don't know that there is such a thing, this Liu Wenju is really, really too bold!" ”

Li Qi said: "I have already solved this certificate for you, and then it depends on what you do." ”

After Li Qi finished speaking, he got up: "I still have to persuade Xiahou, he was going to order you to be arrested today, but I stopped you, you had better handle Liu Wenju's case within two days, otherwise, Xiahou wants to kill people, no one can stop him, he can kill Liu Wenju in Prince Wu's army, don't you dare to kill you?" Don't forget, Prince Wu and General Xiahou are also uncles and nephews, what is Liu Wenju? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Qi left, Cui Hansheng nodded and personally sent it outside the yamen, and after Li Qi left, Cui Hansheng found that his clothes were almost soaked.

After he returned to the study, he sat down on the chair, only to feel cold all over his body, sweat made his clothes stick to his body, and he felt very uncomfortable, and even more uncomfortable in his heart.

"Someone!"

Cui Hansheng thought for a while and then stood up and ordered loudly: "Send someone to gather all the messengers in the mansion, mobilize three hundred soldiers to come over, and ask the lord of the mansion to come over immediately, and go with me to copy Liu Wenju's house!" ”

Soon after the order was issued, Fu Cheng Han Tong and Chief Arrest Qi Dian both rushed over.

The three adults went straight to Liu Wenju's house with people, and halfway through, Cui Hansheng told Liu Wenju about it, he was already dissatisfied with Liu Wenju, and he was afraid that Liu Wenju would climb on his head.

"Anyone who knows the accounts between us will be killed."

Cui Hansheng said: "You two will do it separately, Lord Han will lead the troops to copy Liu Wenju's casino Qinglou, and all the silver will be sealed." ”

"Qi Dian, you go to Liu Wenju's house with me...... For those who know about you and me, there will be no one left! ”

He looked at Qi Dian and said, "Ledger, you must find the ledger!" ”

At the same time, Li Qi lived.

Xiahou Zhuo asked Li Qi: "You go to see Cui Hansheng, what will Cui Hansheng do?" ”

Li Qi shrugged his shoulders: "Dog eats dog, ghost eats ghost, let them kill themselves." ”

He was silent for a moment and then said to himself: "In this world, there is no unclean silver, only unclean people. ”
