Chapter 232: Evidence of Guilt Found

After the agreement, Li Yanzhi left Cui Yang, Qin Dayong, Zhang Xing, Wang Qiang and other subordinates to guard the grain store, and then took the rest of the people, under the guidance of Wei Xu, and went straight to the warehouse of Fan Ji grain store.

Wei Xu guided Li Yanzhi on the way, and he had never been so eager to make meritorious service as he was now. When Chu Wei came to him and proposed to do so, he himself did not approve of it. However, he couldn't stand Chu Wei's repeated coercion and coercion as his boss, and Wei Xu had no choice but to obey. Yesterday, when he was in the camp, he saw Chu Wei, Wang Chuan, Yang Tao, Zheng Tong, and other four prisoners being escorted out of the camp, and his heart began to feel uneasy. It wasn't until later, when he was ordered to come to assist Li Yanzhi, that he was even more sure that the matter had been exposed.

When Li Yanzhi called out his name, almost for a moment, an impulse flashed in his heart to kill Li Yanzhi and his subordinates here, and then fled out of the city to fall into the grass. However, as Li Yanzhi said, it is night, and the four gates are closed, and it is difficult to get out of the city without a warrant. But this is where the contradiction lies. At this time, the only person who could issue a warrant to leave the city at night was the county government Sima in front of him. If you act impulsively, after killing him, you can't get out of the city, and it's still a big question where to go.

What's more, the thirty or so people under this Sima seem to be all swords and swords on the battlefield, crawling out of the pile of dead people. Although their side had an advantage in numbers, they stayed in the camp and did not come forward to participate in the battle. I can't run and run, and I may not be able to beat it, and I heard Li Yanzhi's intention, if these accomplices are willing to cooperate, they can be lightly dismissed, and this team leader also breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Since he had decided to cooperate, Wei Xu showed a full cooperative attitude. Anyway, the profit from reselling military rations from those superiors was very small, and it was not enough to cover his personal monthly salary. Taking the risk of killing his head to get such a small profit, Wei Xu also felt that it was not worth it. On the way to the grain storehouse, he secretly thought to himself, and began to feel a deep sorrow for those Shangguan for no reason.

Originally, it was easy to make a living, and the food and salary were taken on time, but they would not suddenly suffer such a flying disaster. However, I am not satisfied with the status quo, and I always want to take some side roads, and in the end I lose my life, which is really stupid!

Dozens of soldiers carried torches, and soon under Wei Xu's guidance, they came to an inconspicuous courtyard on the southwest side of the city. From a distance, you can see the granary surrounded by straw mats. There is only one big grain store in the county, and if the granary of this scale is owned by his family, it is reasonable.

Li Yanzhi ordered Wei Xu to send his subordinates to surround this courtyard, and then this time he didn't say anything about saluting first and then soldiers, and stepped forward to kick a few times at the gate of the courtyard, and with a click, the latch in the door was already overwhelmed, obviously broken. Li Yanzhi stepped forward again, and with two more stomps, the door squeaked and slowly opened. When the soldiers entered, they saw that half of the latch had fallen to the ground, and had been broken from the middle. At first glance, the latch was made of a trunk with the thickness of a bowl, and it was very solid. However, that Li Sima came up and kicked the latch of the door with a few kicks, which surprised everyone else.

Wei Xu ordered two soldiers to surround the courtyard, and he and Li Yanzhi led another Shi into the courtyard, and the guards in the granary had already been alarmed by the loud sound of Li Yanzhi kicking the door before, and at this time, they all put on their clothes and pants and rushed out of the side room with sticks, but what they saw by the light of the fire was a group of soldiers with torches and swords. When they couldn't react, they all froze in place, not knowing what to do.

Li Yanzhi saw that these guys were holding sticks, but when he saw them, he was at a loss, so he walked closer, took out the paper of seizure warrant he had signed, and said to those guys: "Your lord's family colluded with the lieutenant general Zuo to resell military rations. Now he was ordered to come and seal it up. Anyone who obstructs it is guilty of the same crime! ”

Hearing Li Yanzhi's loud shout, those guys hung their heads and were silent. Li Yanzhi waved his hand, and the soldiers beside him had already walked towards the big house facing the gate. They smashed open the door with all their might, only to see bags of grain piled up in this big house, which made these soldiers stunned for a while.

Li Yanzhi left the gang of guys, walked into the big house with torches, and saw the mountains of grain bags in his eyes, but he didn't care at all. He wandered around the doorway for a while, and then he saw a book hanging from a rope on the wall by the door. He stepped forward and ordered the soldier beside him to carry torches to light him, and he himself opened the book, and saw that it was all recorded in and out of the storehouse. Li Yanzhi closed the account book, and then flipped through it from back to front, and finally found several storage records with the names of Zheng Tong or Wang Chuan and others. The record is often followed by a signature.

Li Yanzhi looked very excited, and hurriedly drew the knife from the waist of the soldier next to him, and then swung the knife to cut, and the rope that bound the account book was broken into two in an instant.

He waved his hand and said to Wei Xu: "Leave a few people to guard here, and the rest of you will go with me!" ”

Wei Xu arranged for a chief to stay here with a dozen soldiers to guard, and then the rest of them followed Li Yanzhi with him and went to Fan's house in the southeast of the city.

With the evidence in hand, Li Yanzhi has become a real fearless. He held a torch in one hand and an account book in the other, and he had no time to knock on the door, so he kicked at the gate of Fan's house several times, and the knocker on the door was clanging.

Not long after, an old slave finally came to the door, opened the door, looked at it, and then the light of the torches outside, and saw a bunch of soldiers in armor and knives standing outside, and his heart was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen...... It's so late, I don't know what to do? ”

"Your lord colluded with the lieutenant general Zuo to sell military rations as shoddy. The sin is terrible. Now we have been ordered to come and seal it, and those who block it are guilty of the same crime! Li Yanzhi looked serious. After thinking about it for a while, he had already repeated this set of rhetoric three times. Before the old slave could express his position, the soldiers behind Li Yanzhi had already entered through the gate.

"When you invite Master Fan up, tap it. Don't be so rude. Li Yanzhi looked at Wei Xu and said with a smile. Wei Xu clenched his fists and received the order, and then followed his soldiers into the hospital together. The old slave at the door listened to what Li Yanzhi said, and he was also at a loss at this time, looking at Li Yanzhi in fear, but he couldn't say anything to defend himself.

Not long after, the soldiers had already dragged the shopkeeper Fan, who was dressed in single clothes, to the courtyard and knelt on his knees. From inside the house came a woman who shouted unwillingly: "You! Why are you arresting people? Let me go! ”

When Li Yanzhi saw the woman rushing out of the hall, wearing only one belly pocket, he hurriedly turned his face away, waved his hand to the soldiers guarding the courtyard, and said, "Take it down, lock it in the side room and take care of it!" ”

The soldiers did as they were ordered, and took the woman by the arms, and dragged her into the side room, where she was still unwilling and shouted hoarsely.

Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Fan, who was kneeling in the courtyard, and sneered: "Shopkeeper Fan, do you know what I am waiting for?" ”

Although the shopkeeper Fan was escorted by the soldiers and knelt on the ground, when he raised his head, he only had a look of low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. He shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, and I hope the official will make it clear." ”

Li Yanzhi raised the account book in his hand, and then asked the shopkeeper Fan: "What now?" What do you know about the shopkeeper? ”

When the shopkeeper saw the account book, his face suddenly changed greatly, and in his words, he was already frightened and stammered: "This ...... This...... Villain...... The villain is guilty! ”
