"I heard that Liu Yuanwai contracted a serious disease?"

Ning Xiu said playfully.

"Old, old, ahem......"

Liu Haiqian coughed twice, and his face looked even more dry.

"Since Liu Yuanwai is not in good health, don't say more, let's talk about it from this county."

Ning Xiu cleared his throat and said, "Today, a bitter master named Han Qi came to the county to complain and report Liu Yuanwai and Huang Xiancheng. Therefore, the county will call the official to invite Liu Yuanwai to go to the yamen. ”

When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Huang Yidao with his spare eyes.

Huang Yidao's body trembled slightly, and then returned to normal.

Although he had long known that Huang Qi had come to the county government to complain, what he heard from Ning Xiu's mouth was a completely different feeling.

But with his identity, he really didn't say much, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

"Since this is the case, the old man will accompany the county honor."

Liu Haiqian still pretended to be weak, coughing once or twice from time to time.

He really didn't take Ning Xiu in his eyes at first, after all, this person was less than twenty years old, and his hair hadn't grown up.

And he has lived for half his life, what kind of person has never been seen, and it is still not a problem to deal with a hairy boy.

But Ning Xiu's actions surprised him later.

On the grounds that he was infected with a vicious disease, this guy ordered the Liu Mansion to be surrounded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The ruthlessness of its methods is rare.

Liu Haiqian didn't dare to despise Ning Xiu anymore, so he had to come out and see it.

"Good! The county also firmly believes that Liu Yuanwai is innocent. ”

After that, he turned around and got into the sedan chair.

"Get up!"

Xiao Gui glanced at Liu Haiqian proudly and chanted loudly.

When the people arrived at the county office, Ning Xiu announced that he would be promoted to the court and the case was decided.

The main persons involved in this case, Huang Yidao, Han Qi, and Liu Haiqian, were all present.

Huang Xiancheng sat on a chair because he was an official of the imperial court. As for Han Qi and Liu Haiqian, they knelt on the ground.

The two are not officials, so naturally they cannot enjoy the treatment of officials.

"Han Qi, you can tell me the truth again."

Ning Xiu said lightly.

Han Qi glared at Liu Haiqian fiercely, and said without hesitation: "My lord, the villain wants to report the collusion between the county Cheng Huang Yidao and the businessman Liu Haiqian's officials and businessmen for smuggling the sea trade. ”

Although the two of them were mentally prepared, their bodies still couldn't help but tremble.

Ning Xiu cleared his throat and said, "Huang Xiancheng, what do you want to say?" ”

"County Honor, this is slander. The lower official implored the county to investigate the matter thoroughly, and returned the lower official to a clean slate. ”

"What about Liu Yuanwai?"

"This is a non-existent thing, I implore the old parents to investigate thoroughly!"

The two are surprisingly consistent, and they don't admit to death.

"This is the account book brought by Han Qi, let's take a look."

Ning Xiu tapped an account book and smiled slightly.

The two of them immediately turned pale.

They didn't know that Han Qi had such an account book in his hand, no wonder this guy was so fearless, it turned out that he had a bottom in his hand.

Huang Rudao sighed in his heart and shook his head, his heart was indeed careless.

But now he can only resist death and deny it.

Ning Xiu ordered someone to take the account book to the two of them, first read it by Huang Yidao, and then transfer it to Liu Haiqian to read.

After they finished reading, Ning Xiu said lightly: "Do you two have any excuses?" ”

"This account book must be forged!"

Huang Rudao gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaguan did hire Han Qi as a staff member, but he never let him take care of any maritime trade matters. As for the fact that Xia Guan and Liu Yuanwai only have one or two superficial friendships, let alone collusion between officials and businessmen. ”

Huang Yidao said righteous words, as if this was the way things were.

"Liu Yuanwai, what do you have to say?"

"Xia Guan doesn't know this Han Qi, and he hasn't walked across the sea."

Well, this is not a coffin without crying.

"Come on, mention Zhao Guangning."

Ning Xiu gave an order, and the left and right officials shouted mightily, holding water and fire sticks in their hands.

In the midst of this huge momentum, I saw a handsome man go to the second class.

He walked between Liu Haiqian and Han Qi to push the golden mountain and the jade pillar to the ground.

"Grass farmer Zhao Guangning visited the county lord."

Ning Xiu bowed slightly: "Zhao Guangning, tell me what you know." ”

"The grass people obeyed."

Zhao Guangning cleared his throat and said, "The villain reported that Liu Haiqian and Huang Yidao colluded in smuggling and went to sea from the trench. ”

Liu Haiqian and Huang Yidao had never seen Zhao Guangning before, so they didn't know where he came from, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"The grass people have a handwritten letter from Lord Silva, the governor of Franc Ji, and I also ask the county lord to look at it."

With that, Zhao Guangning took out a letter from his cuff and held it high above his head.

Ning Xiu glanced at a servant, and the man immediately took the letter and sent it to Ning Xiu's case.

Ning Xiu opened the letter unhurriedly and read it aloud.

The letter was written by Silva, and the content was to accuse businessman Liu Haiqian of smuggling in the sea trade, and the accomplice was Huang Yidao.

According to Silva, the two men bought off a Francophone official and were able to sail out of the trenches. And the wise and powerful Governor Silva was completely unaware of the matter, and only learned about it after the fact.

Upon learning of this, Governor Silva was deeply shocked and immediately wrote this letter to report it, and sent Zhao Guangning to deliver the letter to the Ning County Commander.

At this point, Huang Yidao and Liu Haiqian finally couldn't hang up.

Huang Yidao and Liu Haiqian are nothing, but Silva, the governor of Franco, cannot afford to offend them no matter what.

This man has too many of them in his hands. This person turned against the water, and no matter how much they said, they would look pale and weak.

As things stand, Silva is determined to betray them.

The most hateful thing is that this person pretended not to know and found a scapegoat to top the tank, which is really infuriating.

"This letter..."

"This letter was handed over to the contemptible by Governor Silva himself, and it is also stamped with the fire paint of the Governor's Palace, Lord Huang should not suspect that this letter is fake, right?"

Zhao Guangning said before Huang Yidao.

Huang Qidao slumped on the chair, and there was no longer the previous shrewdness in his eyes.

Although Liu Haiqian was still holding on, he didn't defend anything.

Seeing this, Ning Xiu knew that the situation was almost over, so he cleared his throat and said, "If the two of you don't have a defense, the county will take you into custody first." ”

Ning Xiu's face turned faster than a book, and Huang Qidao was directly stupid.

"Ah, county honor, the lower officials are wronged."

"Huang Xiancheng has any grievances, you might as well say it directly."

Ning Xiu smiled faintly.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan..."

Huang Rudao's throat was stuck, but he couldn't speak.

"Since Huang Xiancheng has nothing to say, you might as well go to the prison and think about it, and then tell the official when you think clearly."

"Come on, take Huang Xiancheng to the prison and give him a private room."

"My lord, my lord, my lord..."

Huang Yidao let out an exclamation, and the left and right officials had already grabbed him and pulled him out.

Seeing this, Liu Haiqian closed his eyes, revealing a sad posture of a dead rabbit and a fox.

Ning Xiu didn't give Liu Haiqian much time to think, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yuanwai has something to say. ”
