Li Yanzhi instructed Liu Jiwu to interrogate the three people, and then recorded the confession, and after making the file, he went out to greet Tao Heng with more than 20 of his subordinates, plus a few of Li Yanzhi's own subordinates, out of the gate of the county government, according to the location explained by Zheng Siku, to the south of the city, ready to raid Fan Ji's grain shop.

Now Li Yanzhi is acting for the affairs of the county government, so he has issued an order for seizure, but he doesn't feel any different. The long-cherished wish of his childhood finally came true here, but it also made him feel a few different feelings.

Li Yanzhi walked down the street with a group of soldiers holding torches. At this time, there was already a curfew, and there were basically no pedestrians on the streets, except for the occasional passing by and seeing some patrols. When these soldiers saw their large group of people, they often stepped forward to interrogate, but when they saw that it was Li Yanzhi with that subordinate, they all kept silent and let them go. In today's Lingju County, this uncle is in charge of military and political affairs, and it can be said that in this area of dozens of miles in Lingju County, the acting county is simply a temporary emperor of the soil.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they turned three or four streets, and by the light of the torches, the soldiers at the vanguard had already seen a plaque hanging on the door of a small two-story building standing beside the road, with four big characters written on it: "Fan Ji Grain Shop". So all the soldiers stopped one after another and surrounded the two-story building. Li Yanzhi led Tao Heng towards the gate. Tao Heng walked to the door and raised his foot to kick the door. Li Yanzhi hurriedly pressed down Tao Heng, who was eager to try, and then whispered: "Salute first and then soldier!" ”

Li Yanzhi stepped forward, knocked on the knocker on the door, and then said in a loud voice: "Is there anyone?" I'm waiting for the county government, open the door quickly! ”

He knocked on the door several times in succession, and a frightened voice came from the second floor of the room: "Everyone...... Wait a minute...... I'll open the door right away......"

After a while, the door of the grain shop was opened. Li Yanzhi held a torch, illuminated the middle-aged man who opened the door in front of him, and asked, "Your Excellency is the shopkeeper here?" ”

The middle-aged man saw the soldiers holding torches and swords in front of him, and he was terrified, and he looked up at Li Yanzhi tremblingly, then lowered his head and replied: "Back to the official, the villain is not the shopkeeper here...... The shopkeeper went home, and the villain kept vigil here...... The villain immediately sent someone to beckon the shopkeeper to come back......"

Li Yanzhi grabbed the middle-aged man who turned around and wanted to leave, and said, "No need. I am waiting here for official business. After that, Li Yanzhi took out the seizure order signed and stamped by himself, unfolded it and brought it to the middle-aged man: "Today, the Fan Ji grain shop colluded with the generals in the camp to make a huge profit by selling the military rations in the camp with shoddy goods. Today, the grain store will be sealed, and it will not be operated until the matter is clarified! ”

After saying that, Li Yanzhi waved his hand, and the subordinates behind him were already holding seals, pastes and other things in their hands, and began to seal the things in the grain store. When the middle-aged man saw this kind of battle, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Li Yanzhi and said, "Official, official, slow down...... This kind of big event, let the villain say ...... to the master's family"

Li Yanzhi shook off the entanglement of the middle-aged man and said, "You don't have to be polite, I will naturally go to your master's house later." You just have to stay here. By the way, you can also think about what is wrong with your master's daily business. If it is exposed, the county government will be rewarded! ”

With that, two soldiers walked from behind Li Yanzhi, holding the middle-aged man on the left and right, and walked towards a room in the grain store where sundries were piled up.

"Be careful! Don't leave out a place where it should be sealed! Li Yanzhi stood in the lobby of the grain store and ordered majestically. And all the people listened to his command, and they all obeyed.

"If there are still people in the shop, they will all be escorted to the utility room and properly guarded and placed!" Li Yanzhi thought about it and added.

After a few breaths, two soldiers escorted out a young man who was about a teenager from the back hall on the first floor of the grain store. Li Yanzhi saw it, and was about to order the soldiers to escort the young man to the utility room to take care of it, after thinking about it, he beckoned again, and the two soldiers immediately understood, so they escorted the young man to Li Yanzhi.

From the conversation, Li Yanzhi learned that his family was in a certain county, because the family was poor, and there were many brothers and sisters, so he sent him to work in this grain shop to make a living.

"Do you know where your lord's family lives?" Li Yanzhi thought about it and asked the young man.

The young man raised his head and said: "The master's family lives more than two hundred steps east of the grain shop, and there is a big mansion under the city wall, and there is a plaque of 'Fan Mansion' hanging on the door. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanzhi patted the young man's shoulder, and then said, "I'm going to send you to the county government for a while, are you willing?" ”

The young man thought for a while, and then said: "The master usually teaches us, the world is big, and the official is the biggest. Official, you let the villain go to the county government to stay, and the villain will obey his fate. ”

Li Yanzhi smiled, turned around and called a soldier, and ordered him to send this young man to the county government and treat him well. The soldier took the order, and led the young man out of the door.

Li Yanzhi called Tao Heng again, ordered him to go to the camp immediately, and asked Zhou Xing to transfer a team of soldiers to come so that he could raid Fan's house later.

After the arrangement was completed, Li Yanzhi went up to the second floor under the guidance of the soldiers. The accounts of the grain store were placed in one of the rooms on the second floor. Li Yanzhi walked in, and the place where the account books were placed on the second floor had not yet been sealed, so he opened the doors of the cabinets in the room and looked for the accounts he was looking for in the vast cabinets. On the spine of those accounts, there were notes with the approximate date, and Li Yanzhi carefully examined them, and then took out the accounts of the last few months and looked through them.

After looking through them for a long time, he did not see any record of any transactions with goods and goods in the army from these accounts. The vertical version has no punctuation, and it is still the account book recorded in traditional Chinese characters, and Li Yanzhi feels a headache. However, these things had to be done, and he had to look at them again and again, but he had no clue.

Not long after, Li Yanzhi heard the noise downstairs outside the window, and hurriedly pushed open the window in this room, looking down, but saw that a team of soldiers who had just ordered Tao Heng to go to the camp and asked Zhou Xing for transfer had already arrived downstairs in the grain store. He got up, blew out the oil lamp in the house, and went downstairs. The team rate that led the team this time was no longer Zhao Da. The team led Li Yanzhi to go out and greeted Li Yanzhi. However, there was an inexplicable unnaturalness in his expression.

Li Yanzhi looked at the team leader with an inexplicable and unnatural expression, and he was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it for a while, it was already clear. He remembered that in the list explained by Treasurer Zheng, there was indeed a team leader and three senior commanders. So he asked a little casually: "You are Wei Xu?" ”

The team leader was taken aback when he heard this, his expression became even more unnatural, and he hugged his fists and said, "The subordinate is Wei Xu." I don't know what virtue and how to make nobles like Sima remember. ”

Li Yanzhi smiled, then approached Wei Xu and whispered, "Treasurer Zheng has already recruited." Now the four of them are in the county prison, and according to this plot, it must be the result of asking for a few days. You are an accomplice, and I want to make you light. But what you have done yourself, and what you will determine in the future, it is up to you to grasp it...... Finally, I would like to remind you that at this time at night, the four doors are closed, and you will never be able to get out, so don't have any other plans, draw a clear line with those main culprits as soon as possible, and I will ensure that you do not die......"

Wei Xu was shocked when he heard this, his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel, Li Yanzhi hurriedly grabbed his arm, held him up, and asked quietly: "The three commanders of your subordinates are all involved in this matter?" ”

Wei Xu's face was colorless, he just nodded with his eyes slightly closed. Li Yanzhi looked aware, and asked again: "The shopkeeper of Fan Ji Grain Shop, have you been in contact?" ”

Wei Xu shook his head: "The specific affairs are all handled by the four of them...... At that time, I was only responsible for sending people to count the rations and escort them to the warehouses they had designated......"

Hearing what Wei Xu said, Li Yanzhi's expression was grim, and he whispered: "I'll go directly to this warehouse later!" Now you call the three chiefs first, and I have something to tell them. ”

Wei Xu turned his head and called the three of them closer. The three of them looked at Wei Xu and Li Yanzhi's expressions, and they all knew that something was wrong. However, there were two superiors in front, one was their immediate boss, and the other was the lord of the first army in Lingju County. They can't afford to think otherwise. Li Yanzhi summoned the three of them and asked: "This matter has happened, do you want to die or live?" ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they quickly knelt on the ground, Li Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" Get up. With your cooperation, I will keep you safe. The three of them looked a little pale, and then they got up together, bowing their heads slightly and looking obedient.

"You will immediately join me in raiding the storehouse and obtaining incriminating evidence. I can wait for Paul to make meritorious contributions! Li Yanzhi was expressionless and said slowly.
