Chapter 15 Drawing Wages from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Chaoyang Street intersection.

Pedestrians on the street, in twos and threes.

Just now, dozens of black-clothed people were escorted back by the officers and soldiers of the government office.

The first offender, Lu Beixuan, was left behind and interrogated alone.

Cao Xiu squatted on the ground, looked at Lu Beixuan who was tied, and asked, "So, are you still reluctant to say it?" ”

Lu Beixuan ignored him, didn't look over, and looked at him.

Cao Xiu said: "I know all about your affairs, if you say it, the county can also ask the prefect for instructions and treat you lightly." ”

"Hmph, who believes."

Lu Beixuan snorted, still ignoring him.

Cao Xiu said: "What are you doing this for?" ”

Lu Beixuan said: "I, Lu Beixuan, have acted all my life, why do I need to explain it to you?" ”

Cao Xiu laughed angrily, "You, you were sold, I'm afraid you have to count the money for others, that person is already difficult to protect himself, you still help him, in fact, people don't care about your life or death at all, didn't you say it just now, the two of us are the sandpiper and the mussel in the eyes of that guy." ”

Lu Beixuan said coldly: "You are not a good thing. ”

Cao Xiu didn't want to spend any more time with him, so he said bluntly: "There is a forest scribe in the county office, you should recognize it, right?" ”

Lu Beixuan listened, his body trembled slightly, "What? You, you ......"

Cao Xiu stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, the county will go find someone else, there is always someone who is willing to speak, bother, say goodbye." ”

Lu Beixuan hurriedly grabbed his thigh, looked at Cao Xiu with blank eyes, and said, "My lord, what did you ask me just now?" ”

Cao Xiu said: "What are you doing this for?" ”

"I mean the last question."

"So, you're still reluctant to say it?"

"No, I'm willing, I'll tell you everything I know, including that man's brother-in-law's encroachment on the fertile land......"

……

At this time, the county government, Liu Zhixian had not recovered from the shock.

No, it can't be.

Am I having auditory hallucinations?

Liu Zhixian's body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he stood there in a daze, unable to believe it, and looked down at Lieutenant Zhu, who had woken up faintly.

County Lieutenant Zhu was looked at by Liu Li, his heart was a little weak, he chuckled, and said: "It's true, you said that Lu Beixuan and they must have taken action these days, and asked the lower officials to guard Chaoyang Street, which Cao Zhi County must pass, at first everything was as expected by the adults, but who would have thought that the county magistrate would be together with Qin......

As he spoke, he recounted what he had seen.

"You said that when the Qin system appeared, he wore a mask on his head?"

As soon as Liu Li asked, County Lieutenant Zhu immediately replied: "Yes, otherwise Lu Beixuan and the others would not dare to make a move in front of the thunderbolt fire." ”

Qin Ming's nickname is Thunderbolt.

Liu Li was thinking that Qin Ming was no longer a child, and there were no festivals recently, so it was impossible for him to wear a mask by himself, so who would make Qin Ming wear it willingly?

It was him, Cao Xiu must have done it.

Liu Li's eyes lit up.

Then I started thinking about it again.

Then why did he want Qin Ming to wear this?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head.

Yes, it's because he doesn't want others to see Qin Ming's appearance.

Hiss......

The news has been leaked, and there must be a traitor here.

He turned his head to look at the scrivener Lin who was standing aside, glared at his most trusted henchman, and said, "Lin Xukun, you, why are you?" ”

Lin Xukun is a pseudonym of Lin Shuyi in Jiangning County.

Seeing this, Lin Shuren immediately knelt down and swore: "My lord, the student is wronged, if the student Lin Xukun betrays the adult and betrays the Jiangning County Ya, he will be hit by five thunders and die when he goes out, and after his death, he will go to eighteen layers of hell, and he will never be able to transcend his body." ”

This curse is a bit ruthless.

Liu Li was only suspicious, there was no evidence, he raised his hand and said, "Get up......"

Lin Shuren stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, fortunately, the person who gambled was Lin Xukun, and his real name was not this.

Then, with a little concern, he asked, "Thank you for your understanding, but now that the matter has come to this, my lord, what should we do?" Lu Beixuan: There's a good chance they'll betray us. ”

Liu Li sighed and looked into the distance, although Lu Beixuan said that he would lose all with him, but he was a Jianghu person, and Jianghu people were the most righteous, and they were still waiting for themselves to save him, so he couldn't sell it, as long as he thought about it, he would know.

However, with Cao Xiu here, it may be uncertain.

He clenched his fists tightly and roared inwardly: "This Cao Xiu, why don't you die......

"Liu Zhixian, don't worry, isn't this county coming to send people in person."

At this moment, a very abrupt voice sounded outside the door.

That's the boy's voice.

Soon, there was a commotion outside.

Liu Zhixian was startled, and when he went out to look, there were already officers and soldiers standing in a courtyard at the door.

And Cao Xiu was standing right in front of the officers and soldiers.

Next to him was Qin Tong, and Qin Tongzhi didn't even have time to go back and change clothes, and when he brought the group of black-clothed people to the mansion, he directly led people to arrest Liu Li.

When Liu Li saw them, he was very surprised and panicked, but his face was as calm as water, and he smiled: "Cao Zhixian, Qin Commandery, who are you?" Oh, is there some misunderstanding between us? ”

Misunderstand?

Cao Xiu sneered in his heart, he had always doubted Liu Zhixian's motives, until Lin Shuyi mentioned to him that this Lord Liu wanted to use his head to promote and make a fortune.

However, does he really just want to be promoted?

Cao Xiu suspected that he had a relationship with the group of men in black, but there was no evidence now.

Either way, let's get them arrested first.

He only took a step forward lightly, his eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Liu Zhixian, there is no misunderstanding between us, it's just that Lord Liu, your matter is gone." ”

Liu Li chuckled, his body shook violently, and after stabilizing his mind, he said: "Cao Zhixian's words, why can't this county understand a little?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, come on, bring the two of them to me!"

Cao Xiu smiled slightly, and then directly ordered the officers and soldiers behind him.

After a while, Liu Li heard a voice that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Let go of me, you let go of me, my brother-in-law is Liu Li, you can't treat me like this, my brother-in-law is Liu Li, he is your county commander......"

I saw Liu Zhixian's brother-in-law being dragged over like a dead dog by two officers and soldiers.

Cao Xiu pointed at him and said to Liu Li: "Liu Zhixian, you should be no stranger to this person, he is your brother-in-law, the bully Tian Kun who robbed the good land of the Zhao family in the east of the city two years ago and beat people to death, this Tian Kun escaped with fake death, and he didn't want to be caught by Qin Tong in the gambling house today, in addition, there is another person, you should also meet ......"

"You, you pig and dog are not as good as you, this county is the ...... you killed"

Liu Li was trembling with anger, looking at his brother-in-law on the ground, his eyes were like knives.

The brother-in-law said: "Brother-in-law, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!" ”

Liu Li snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with him.

Then, he glanced back at Cao Xiu, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Cao Zhixian, how do you know that he faked his death?" ”

Cao Xiu said: "This is the second person I want to show you. ”

Soon, the leader of the group of black-clothed people, Lu Beixuan, was also brought up.

When Liu Li saw Lu Beixuan, his heart was already half cold, "You guys, you are all a bunch of stupid pigs!" ”

……

Liu Li, who had been assassinating Cao Xiu, was finally arrested, and when the others were brought to the mansion, the Song prefect was sitting in the high hall of the mansion.

Liu Li knew that confession was strict, and he resisted the truth of stricter, and confessed to his crimes.

Governor Song was a little helpless, but in fact, he still liked this subordinate in his heart, but it was a pity that he took the wrong path.

However, Liu Li is a magistrate, and he can't simply send it down, he still has to go to the prison of the Criminal Department for a while.

Originally, Liu Li still thought that he could go to Bianliang to be a Beijing official after the big exam after the year.

Now, Cao Xiu directly drove a through train for him.

I don't know what he's going to think in prison.

Cao Xiu was a victim, he felt innocent, but fortunately, the people who wanted to kill him were all in prison, and soon after, he would also go to Liyuan County to take office.

It's just that a wave has not settled, and a wave has risen.

The Song prefect's suspicion of him is still there.

After Cao Xiu left the palace, the Qin ruler was left behind by the Song prefect.

In the back garden.

The prefect of Song asked Qin about the morning.

Qin Tongzhi knew everything, but he also felt strange, and said: "My lord, how do you say that this Cao Zhixian knows that someone has harmed him?" ”

Governor Song looked at the lotus pond in the distance and said, "It was sent by this government to inform you." ”

"What? My lord, the person you sent? ”

As soon as the question of Qin's control was settled, a person walked in from the outside.

"Student Lin Xukun has met the prefect." Lin Qi, who was originally a county clerk, appeared in the government office again at this time.

Qin Ming pointed at him in surprise and said to Governor Song, "My lord, it turns out that Scribe Lin is your person. ”

Governor Song nodded, and he said: "That's right, he is the person who was placed by Liu Li's side by the mansion, so as soon as Liu Li makes any moves, the mansion knows that when Liu Li wants to deal with Cao Zhixian, the mansion will let him notify him overnight." ”

Qin Ming asked strangely, "But my lord, why?" ”

Song Zhifu Aicai said: "No matter who he is, this government can't let a rare talent die in a conspiracy like this, and didn't Cao Wei say that he wanted to solve the murder case of his predecessor Song Zhixian, although I don't know if he can do it, but this government has some expectations." ”

Qin Ming nodded, but said, "I don't know if this Cao Zhixian is real or fake." ”

"This mansion has already repaired a book, and someone sent it to the mansion of Cao Guogong in the capital, whether it is true or not, after half a month, we will all know."

"The bottom of the kettle is drawn, this is the bottom of the kettle, my lord, you are really a god."

When Qin said this, Song Zhifu laughed heartily, and then glanced at him, "Don't shoot the horses of this mansion, gods, according to this mansion, the one who lives in the inn in the west of the city is the god man." ”

Song Governor's words are also right, think about it, on the first day Cao Xiu came, the bully leader of Jiangning City was arrested, and then a few days later, the magistrate of Jiangning City was imprisoned.

Qin Tongzhi felt that this could no longer be described as a god, it was simply a broom star.
