The lobby of the Wuyun County Government has been newly renovated, and the vermilion pillars and gold-painted beams are magnificent in the sun, making people dare not force their eyes. The lobby was a little gloomy, and the rising sun was cut into small squares by the window lattice, shining timidly on the east corner, far from the "Mirror Hanging" plaque in the center.

The public case in the middle was occupied by Jiang Anyi, Bai Zhiguang and Wen Qi sat on the left, on the right were Qin Guanghai, the county magistrate who rushed to hear the news, and Liu Qingyu, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant Du Qiuguang sat in the last place with his head down, and some officials and officials stood in an inconspicuous corner, and everyone waited anxiously for Jiang Anyi to speak.

The sudden arrival of the assassin history made the officials in Wuyun County have a feeling of impending disaster, just now Jiang Tingshi had ordered Jiang Ming to take people to raid the Sun Mansion, and the crime was to secretly possess weapons and crossbows. The seized repeater was placed on the public case, and Sun Fucheng collapsed on the ground at that time.

Bai Zhiguang was calm, but his right hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and there were ripples in the tea in the cup, and he repeatedly pondered in his heart whether Jiang Tingshi had his shortcomings and how he should survive this turmoil. Wen Qi was already unbearable, beads of sweat the size of beans were rolling down, Jiang Anyi's occasionally swept gaze was like a knife cutting his body, and the smile he desperately squeezed out finally turned into a wry smile twitch.

Qin Guanghai is only in his early thirties, and he is obviously more relaxed when he has nothing to do with himself, his eyes are turning to look around, and he doesn't know what he is thinking with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Liu Qingyu looked like a loyal elder, his eyes were lowered, and he drank tea quietly, extremely calm.

Jiang Anyi saw everyone's demeanor in his eyes, and coughed lightly: "This official's visit to Wuyun County this time is a routine inspection. "Da Zheng's law stipulates that the assassin will inspect the county every time, but no one will believe this statement. Believe it or not, all of them are to respond, "Your Excellency has labored." ”

"Of course, this official is here to see how Wuyun County handles the case of Tian Dazhuang and the old man", Jiang Anyi's tone paused slightly, and continued: "The Bai County Order is properly handled, and this official is very satisfied. ”

A smile appeared on Bai Zhiguang's face, he stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your praise, it is the responsibility of the lower officials to make decisions for the people." ”

An Yi turned to Wen Qi and said: "But the few words that Wen Senjun said puzzled the official, the recipe for making honey fruits has been tested many times, how can it be unconfirmed, and when did the official say that if the honey fruit is rotten, he will be charged fifty Wen tax?" Does Lord Wen want to roast the official on the stove? ”

Hearing Jiang Anyi's question, Wen Qi's luck came to naught, rolled to the ground, and mourned: "My lord, the lower officials were confused for a while, and they talked nonsense, please forgive me." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Anyi to speak, the boots outside the lobby sounded, and Jiang Ming came with two guards with a happy face, and the guards carried a few crossbows copied from the Sun family, and the Sun family's crime of secretly hiding ordnance had been confirmed.

asked Jiang Ming a few words, and motioned for him to sit aside. Jiang Anyi said to Wen Qi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Wen Qi, I'll talk about your business when I go back to Huiye Mansion." At present, the case of the Sun family's private possession of weapons will be presided over by you, and whether you can atone for your crimes depends on your performance. ”

"Thank you, sir, I will do my best." Wen Qi kowtowed to Jiang Anyi, got up from the ground, and ordered, "Bring the Sun family father and son to the hall." ”

Sun Fucheng and Sun Yumin were helped up to the hall by the officials, let go of their hands, and the two fathers and sons piled up on the ground. Possession of weapons is a felony, and it is also in the limelight of Long Wei's pursuit of winch crossbows and new-style repeaters, Sun Fucheng knows that this time the Sun family will face a big risk, the only chance is to see if the Liu family will help, if you can fine money, even if it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is worth it.

"Sun Fucheng, are you guilty?" Wen Qi quickly entered the role and asked in a long tone.

Sun Fucheng was a little surprised, he didn't ask himself about Jiang Tingshi, who was sitting in the middle, but Wen Qi, who joined the army, and there was a faint hope in his heart.

"My lord, little confessor, these repeaters were bought by my housekeeper Sun Yueyong from Xiaoji Town two months ago. The small family had trade with the Western Regions, and these crossbows were used against horse thieves, and the small ones should not hide their weapons and be willing to accept punishment. Sun Fucheng blinked his eyes and conveyed to everyone the meaning of buying roads with money.

If Jiang Anyi was not there, Bacheng would have done this, but Wen Qi had just been reprimanded by Jiang Anyi, and he was bent on atonement, and the father and son of the Sun family were the stepping stones he used to atone for his sins, how could he let it go easily. With a sneer, Wen Qi said: "Sun Fucheng, this crossbow has a number on it, it is clearly a military thing, you have been in business for many years, and you are also well-informed, how can you not know the severity." And you said that the steward bought it from Xiaoji Town, and your steward can be in the house? ”

"He went to the Western Regions with the caravan to the country of Huli."

Jiang Anyi understands that this is how Hua Zheng put the blame on the housekeeper Hua Ren at the beginning, and it seems that the trick of the powerful family is very smooth, and naturally there are subordinates to blame him for something wrong.

"Does the Sun family have any business dealings with the Western Regions?" Jiang Anyi asked knowingly.

Sun Fu became exonerated and said repeatedly: "Yes, the Sun family has been doing business with the Western Regions for more than ten years. ”

"Sun Fucheng, since your family has business contacts with the Western Regions, this official asks you, do you know that the government has issued the "Proclamation on Trade with the Western Regions", and your family has ever gone to the government to obtain a business license certificate?"

Sun Fucheng was stunned, how did this Lord Assassin turn the topic to business, he naturally knew about this "Notice", but both the Liu family and Bai County Ling clearly told him not to pay attention to it, but he was caught by Jiang Anyi and hurt his feet.

Jiang Ming bowed his hand and said, "My lord, I have not found a large number of spices, utensils, woolen fabrics and various miscellaneous goods in the warehouse of the Sun Mansion. ”

These goods were bought by the Sun family from the Western Regions, and the Liu family and Bai Zhiguang both had shares, and they had to buy and sell them on the exchange or pay transit taxes according to the regulations, so that the profits would be reduced by one percent, and of course these people refused. So he put it in the warehouse of the Sun family first, thinking that he would quietly transport it to another place if the checkpoint was not strictly checked, not wanting to be copied by Jiang Ming.

Jiang Anyi looked at Bai Zhiguang and asked: "Bai County Order, the Sun family has purchased a large number of goods from the Western Regions, I don't know if you know, are there any prohibited items in these goods, and are there any spies in the Western Regions who enter the customs?" ”

A large string of hats were buttoned down, and the tip of Bai Zhiguang's nose was also a little sweaty, if Bai Zhiguang had his own words to prevaricate on weekdays, but he had just confiscated the crossbow from Sun's house, and Sun Fucheng admitted that he bought it from Xiaoji Town, so it was really unclear whether there were contraband in this batch of goods.

In an instant, Bai Zhiguang made a decision, got up and saluted: "What the lord is asking about is that the lower official has neglected to supervise, please punish the adult." ”

"Lord Jiang, the goods of the Sun family entered the county seat on August 10, and it was a long time, and the entire county was in an uproar at that time. Xia Guan heard that there are still Bai Daren's shares in these goods, I don't know if it's true or not? Qin Guanghai, the county leader, suddenly opened his voice.

After watching for a long time, he found that Jiang Tingshi intended to punish Bai County's order, such a good opportunity should not be missed, and Qin Guanghai immediately made up for it. Jiang Anyi was overjoyed in his heart, cast an encouraging look at Qin Guanghai, and said with a smile: "What else has Lord Qin heard, you might as well say it bluntly, the right and wrong are the official who has his own clear judgment." ”

Qin Guanghai comprehended and said with a smile: "Whether Lord Bai has a dark stock or not, Sun Yuanwai should know best, what do you say?" ”

Sun Fucheng usually relies on having an in-law with the Liu family, and has a relationship with Bai Zhiguang, and does not put Qin County Cheng in his eyes, but he didn't expect this person to take the opportunity to make trouble and have the intention to deny it, but there is a record in his own account book, and the account book is in the house, and I don't know if it will be found by Jiang Ming.

Bai Zhiguang saw Sun Fucheng's inquiring gaze, and scolded in his heart, aren't you here without three hundred taels of silver? Wen Qi saw it clearly and said, "If there is any contact, just check the accounts." Lord Jiang, please order someone to be sent to check the Sun family's account books. ”

"Wen Qi, don't deceive people too much." Bai Zhiguang said angrily.

has already offended Bai Zhiguang, Wen Qi has already made up his mind to beat the water dogs, as long as he wins the favor of the assassin, he will exchange Bai Zhiguang's bad luck for his own exoneration Wen Qi is a hundred willing.

Qin Guanghai continued to mend the knife and said: "Lord Jiang, the honey fruit preparation method you provided for free, Bai Xianling sold it for a good price, and I heard that the recipe for the honey fruit, Lord Bai, sold it for more than a thousand taels of silver. ”

Jiang Anyi had heard this news in the teahouse, and at this moment, Qin Xiancheng said it, it was a sure thing, Jiang Anyi asked: "Sun Yuanwai, how much did you spend on the buyer?" ”

"Fifty taels." Sun Fucheng replied weakly, the matter had come to this point, and he knew that Bai County's order was already difficult to protect itself.

"Lord Bai, are you guilty?" Wen Qi's face was full of color.

Bai Zhiguang staggered to his feet and scolded: "Wen Qi, you are a stupid pig, do you think that if you punish me Jiang Tingshi, you will spare you?" What sin did you sin in accepting from me yesterday eight hundred taels of silver? ”

Wen Qi's face turned white, and then he remembered that he was also a butt of shit, and took out the silver ticket from his arms, Wen Qi stubbornly said: "My lord, the humble position is to stabilize Bai Zhiguang first, and then verify his corruption, these eight hundred taels of silver, the humble position plans to hand it over when it arrives in Huiye Mansion." ”

Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this, Jiang Anyi took the silver ticket and put it on the table, and said noncommittally: "Wen joins the army, you continue." General Jiang, please go to the Sun Mansion again, and check the account books of the Sun family, and the big and small people of the Sun family will be temporarily detained in the mansion, and they must not be harassed, otherwise they will ask you. ”

Above the lobby, dog-eat-dog, chaos.

Bai Zhiguang glared at Jiang Anyi with hatred, if Jiang Anyi didn't have a lot of trouble, how could he have an accident; If Tian Laohan had not complained, Jiang Anyi would not have come to Wuyun County; If the Sun family had not detained the helpers, Tian Laohan would not have sue; If it weren't for Wen Qi's stupidity and stupidity like a pig, Jiang Anyi wouldn't be able to hold his handle; If it weren't for Qin Guanghai's secret trouble, things wouldn't be out of control.

Bai Zhiguang's hatred was monstrous, and there were hateful and murderous people everywhere he looked, but he didn't ask himself if there was anything hateful about what he did.

The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Jiang Anyi looked at the quarrel in the hall expressionlessly, the excited Qin Guanghai, the gritted Bai Zhiguang, the bluffing Wen Qi, and the sitting Liu Qingyu, a good picture of all beings entering the WTO.
