After receiving the report from his confidant, Li Weiwei put out the candle in the study and returned to the bedroom to sleep peacefully, dreamless all night.

In the middle of the morning the next day, Li Weiwei, who was handling official business in the second hall, heard the official come in to give a report. "My lord, the imperial history of Shandong Dao said that he made an appointment to meet you yesterday, and now he has arrived outside the second hall." Li Weiwei was a little suspicious after hearing this, a Taoist imperial history who had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years should not have broken into the second hall so recklessly. However, he still hurried out, after all, the two had a very pleasant chat yesterday, and there was no need to worry about these trivial etiquette. As soon as he walked outside, he saw that Yushi Sun Yongcheng's face was calm, and he didn't see yesterday's enthusiasm.

Seeing the county commander Li Weiwei coming over, Sun Yongcheng waved his hand to the messenger who followed behind him, and instantly surrounded Li Weiwei. Seeing this, the officials of Qingping County also drew out their waist knives, and a conflict was about to break out.

Even after seeing this unexpected situation, Li Weiwei was not shocked, after all, he felt that he had nothing to be caught. "Lord Sun, what do you mean by this? This official is an official of the imperial court, and even if there is any fault, it is not something that an adult can take. ”

"Oh? I don't know if the imperial flag held by this official can take you? Before the old man left Beijing, the saint gave the imperial flag, and officials below the fifth grade could review it before reporting it. Sun Yongcheng arched his hand in the direction of the capital when he spoke. He didn't care about Li Weiwei's stubbornness at all, and he was also full of confidence.

Li Weiwei thought about what he was doing without any mistakes, and his confidence became more and more sufficient, and he asked in a voice: "I don't know what the lower officials have done, and you still work for the people to rejuvenate the army?" ”

Seeing this, Sun Yongcheng knew that Li was not dead until the Yellow River, so he took out a letter in his arms and said: "Lord Li, someone has accused you of embezzlement, bribery, and conspiracy to murder people, but do you want this official to read a letter you wrote to the Tian family a few years ago?" ”

When Li Weiwei heard this, he was a little flustered, he didn't know how this letter ended up in the hands of Yushi Sun Yongcheng. "My lord, Xia Guan did have some dealings with the Tian family a few years ago, but he didn't accept any bribes. Some time ago, Xia Guan also found that the Tian family was selling prohibited items, and arrested him in one fell swoop, and all the assets obtained from the raid were stored in the warehouse. ”

"Oh, what a sharp mouth! Han Pingsan, come out and come over to meet Master Li. Sun Yongcheng heard this and shouted to the team behind him. A man stepped out of the crowd in response.

"Master Li, don't come unharmed! Thanks to you, the villain almost met Hades in advance. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe in my previous life, and I came to greet the adults this time. Adults don't have such bad memories, and it didn't take a few days for them to forget about sending villains to kill the eldest young master of the Tian family, right? You're so vicious, you even sent someone to kill me! Han Pingsan looked at Li Weiwei with hatred on his face, he really wanted to eat his flesh and sleep his skin.

Seeing Han Pingsan appear, Li Weiwei's heart had begun to sink, he knew that he would not be able to keep his official position no matter what, but he still didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he still refused to give in. "My lord, Xia Guan always thought that Han Zhutou was unfortunately killed when he was arresting thieves, but I didn't expect him to come to you to tell the truth." He thought that Xu Si'er was arranged to go to Bawang Mountain to suppress bandits, and he should have died a tragic death, that is, there was no proof of death, and then said in a slightly relaxed tone: "If the adults don't believe it, ask Han Pingsan who the lower officials sent to kill him at that time." As long as you confront that person, you will know if he is framing his own official. ”

Han Pingsan didn't notice the change in Li Weiwei's tone, and still said firmly: "Li Weiwei, do you think you're just a smart person?" At that time, Xu Si'er told me everything. If Lord Yushi doesn't believe it, he can summon the official Xu Si'er for interrogation and find out the inside story. ”

After hearing this, Sun Yongcheng asked people to go to Xu Si'er, and after a while, the official came back and told him that Xu Si'er had gone to Bawang Mountain a few days ago to suppress the bandits and had not returned. Seeing the smile on the corner of Li Weiwei's mouth, he knew that he still underestimated Li Weiwei's thoughtfulness, and he didn't expect that the other party would still refuse to admit his guilt when he fell into this step, so he was ready to give Li Weiwei the final blow. "Li is the only one, if people don't know, unless they don't do it. Last night, you ordered the cell boss to kill the Tian family's father and son, but you can't quibble, right? ”

"What? The father and son of the Tian family were killed by someone? Yu Lao Er mistook me! What a failure! During this time, the official has been trying to recover the ill-gotten gains obtained by the Tian family and prepare to use them for the people, how can it be good now! Li was really shocked, he didn't expect that everything he did fell into the other party's calculations. Still, he had a flash of inspiration and decided to put the blame on someone else.

"Li Weiwei, are you playing with your own official? Your henchman went to the prison in the middle of the night last night to let the cell boss kill the Tian family father and son. If it hadn't been arranged in advance by the official, you would have almost succeeded. Bring me the note left by that housekeeper! Sun Yongcheng shouted angrily.

After listening to Sun Yongcheng's statement, Li Weiwei had already greeted the eighteenth generation of women of the ancestors of the family in his heart. What a brainless person who would leave a note when he does something bad! Are you afraid that others won't be able to catch you? If it weren't for the fact that he didn't think about winning and losing first, he would definitely be killed by his family today. "My lord, my lord, listen to the official. The official rested early last night, and he didn't expect his subordinates to do their own thing. Of course, the family sent false orders and led to the tragic death of the prisoner in prison, and the subordinate did commit the crime of negligence, please punish the adult! ”

Sun Yongcheng laughed angrily, "You will shirk your responsibility." After speaking, he turned around and ordered the official to bring the family up, looked at the other party's appearance, and secretly said that it was not good, but he still asked. Sure enough, after looking at Li Weiwei, the family took all the blame on his shoulders, and he did not let go even if he was dying under the torture instrument. Sun Yongcheng had no choice but to take off Li's only official hat for negligence and put him into custody for the time being. After everyone had retreated, he paced back and forth in the lobby, feeling unusually irritable. If we can't completely pull out this cancer, if we are worthy of the importance of the saints, how can we be worthy of the righteousness in our hearts.

This sudden censorship immediately spread throughout Qingping County. Because Li Weiwei usually pays attention to his official reputation, the people mostly don't believe it. This also makes the situation of Sun Yongcheng, the imperial historian, delicate, and it may cause turmoil if he is not careful. Xu Anping, who had always been following the progress of the case, took a leave of absence from Deng Xiaoke and came to a village 30 miles away from the city, and entered an ordinary farmhouse in the middle of the night. After three long and two short knocks, the door opened from the inside, revealing a haggard face.

"Grandpa, if you don't come again, I won't starve to death and suffocate to death. Tell me, what do we do next? It's not a way to hide all the time! I have a blind lady at home to take care of. Xu Si'er asked cautiously and a little eagerly. It turned out that he didn't go to Bawang Mountain at all, but after going around a circle, he hid in the name of checking the bandit according to Xu Anping's instructions.

"It's not us, it's you. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the county government and surrender. Xu An said flatly.

Xu Si'er was anxious and said loudly: "What! You asked me to surrender? This is to let me die! If I don't go, I won't die! ”

Xu Anping still said expressionlessly: "Shandong Dao Yushi has arrived in Qingping County, and Li Weiwei has been detained today, but there is still some evidence for the time being. Therefore, as long as you take the initiative to surrender, Li Wei will definitely fall. Besides, you didn't kill people and set fires, so you'll be fine. Also, once Li Weiwei survives this hurdle, you think about the consequences yourself. ”

Xu Si'er's face changed after hearing this, he was frightened for a while, gritted his teeth for a while, and finally said hatefully: "Okay, Lao Tzu will surrender tomorrow, and he must kill Li." He won't let me live, and Lao Tzu will pull him off the horse when he dies. ”
