If the people in the county government were only surprised by Yang Zhen's sudden revelation of the identity of Jinyiwei, then the Li family could only be described as frightened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 No matter how wary they are, they would never have thought that this inconspicuous young man who could only get a little status in the county government by relying on his brother being a county magistrate was actually a person from Jinyiwei.

Jin Yiwei is an extremely feared character in both officialdom and the people, unless your power is really big enough to cover the sky with one hand, you will still feel timid when facing Jin Yiwei. If it was only Yang Chen, the county order, who wanted to find out whether the Li family had colluded with the White Lotus Sect today, they might still be able to excuse themselves, but when Yang Zhen revealed his identity and the purpose for coming here, the situation was completely different. If Li Chenggang still insists on refusing to let them check, they will be identified as being thieves.

What kind of institution is Jinyiwei? It is a person who can arrest people without any evidence and torture them for whatever result they want, ignoring the existence of any law. Brother Li Chenggang, who knew this well, was suddenly full of confusion, and his face gradually turned pale.

Yang Zhen wanted such a result, and seeing that their momentum had suddenly dissipated, he continued to exert pressure: "Outside of Li, this official has learned that your family has a great connection with the White Lotus Sect after a secret investigation, and now you want to investigate, do you still want to stop it?" As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared at Li Chenggang's face like a beast foraging for food, not allowing him to hesitate or shirk.

Governor Li Chenggang can no longer stop him now, even if he knows that the other party must have a hidden hand in doing this, he can only bear it. He smiled bitterly and said, "Since it is Lord Yang who opened your mouth, how dare a grass man in the lower district obstruct you from handling the case?" However, the Han family does not have any connection with the White Lotus traitor, and I hope that the adults can judge impartially. ”

"Hmph, you don't need to be reminded of this, this official has his own measure." Yang Zhen waved his hand as he spoke, signaling the people behind him to enter and search.

It was only at this time that the servants recovered from the shock they had just had, and took a deep look at the familiar and unfamiliar brother, before they scattered and ran in all directions.

Everyone in the Li family was like a deflated ball, all with gloomy faces, standing quietly aside, watching the yamen servants who were not looked down upon by them in the past enter the house, shuttling back and forth between the halls and bedrooms, turning the originally well-organized backyard into a mess.

And what is even more embarrassing is that the officials also coaxed the wives and concubines of the three brothers of the Li family out of the house. Suddenly, the woman's cries and shouts resounded throughout the backyard, which really greatly embarrassed the Li family. But there is no way to do it, these women have never seen anything in the world, and when they saw that their homes were so searched by the people of the county government, they thought that a catastrophe was coming, and they naturally panicked.

Looking at such a look, Li Chenggang's cheek muscles couldn't help but tremble, he was really angry and anxious, and couldn't help but shout: "Shut up for me, go to the side and stay obediently for me!" Seeing that the head of the family was furious, the women finally stopped their mouths and retreated to the side of the room with low eyebrows.

But Li Chenggang's mood has not improved slightly because of this, his Li family has been in Zhuji County for several generations, and he has never encountered such a great humiliation. Even if the county government can't find out anything wrong this time, his family's reputation will be completely wiped out.

The previous incident of the soft red mansion can be said to be an industry of his own, and the damage to his reputation is not too heavy. But today, the entire Li family has been turned upside down by the people of the county government, and I am afraid that the eyes of the people will be completely different in the future. This realization made the excitement of the Li family just now due to the big sale of grain suddenly dissipate cleanly.

At this moment, Li Chenggang only felt that time was so long, and every moment seemed like a century. He even regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, and he shouldn't have offended Yang Chen to death in the first place.

However, after the officials searched everywhere and did not find any evidence against them, Li Chenggang's heart gradually let go back: "It seems that they didn't plan to really blame us this time, and they came here today just to suppress the momentum of my Li family." "It's still not good for him, but it's satisfying enough compared to what could happen.

But Li Chenggang's mood relaxed a little, and after a while, a servant who was looking around in the study ran out in a hurry, holding an open picture and said: "My lord, the little one has found a strange thing, which looks like a sketch of our Puyang River embankment." ”

When Li Chenggang saw this thing, his heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself: "How did I forget this thing?" In order to find an easier way to make the embankment burst, he spent a lot of money to get this sketch, and asked someone to find the easiest place to make a gap on it. After that, he casually put the painting into the middle of the pile of calligraphy and paintings in the study, not wanting to be turned out by the official today.

In fact, as early as the collapse of the river embankment, Li Chenggang should have destroyed this painting that could be regarded as evidence. But this time, he was careless, thinking that he had the chance to win, and he didn't think that the yamen could really claim his own house, so he was taken by someone.

As soon as Yang Chen swept the abruptly changed faces of Li Chenggang and the others, he already had a judgment in his heart. He took the scroll casually, unfolded a section and looked at it, and then said with a flat face: "Outside the Liyuan, this painting is a schematic diagram of the river embankment." What are you doing hiding it in your home? And ......" said a few places that were obviously marked: "If this official is not mistaken, these places are the places where the river embankment is most likely to collapse, why do you mark them?" Could it be that you are the one who destroyed the embankment this time? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of everyone in the Li family suddenly rose. They thought that even if the government suspected the Li family in this matter, it would be impossible to find any evidence. After all, the culprits of digging the embankment have been washed away by the flood, and they have fed the fish and turtles, where can they find them? But I didn't expect a negligence, but I still left fatal evidence.

"I ......" Li Chenggang was so anxious that he couldn't speak for a while.

Fortunately, Li Chengjin was quite calm, and when he saw his brother's stammering appearance, he hurriedly spoke on his behalf: "My lord, this painting is indeed a sketch of the river embankment, but it was not obtained by us before the embankment broke, but after that." Because my eldest brother thought the collapse of the embankment was very strange, he asked someone to find this painting and mark some important locations on it. I hope that the adults will see it! ”

These remarks can be regarded as a reasonable explanation for reluctantly covering up the matter. But neither the Yang brothers nor the others in the county government could believe his reason.

Li Chenggang also slowly calmed down at this time, and quickly refuted himself: "My lord, this painting is indeed as the third child said, it was found after the embankment was destroyed. You must know that our Li family also has a large amount of fertile land outside the city, which is still flooded. This time the river water backflow is also very damaging to my Li family, how could we do such a thing? ”

"Really?" Yang Zhen said noncommittally: "If there are no other problems in the future, your words may still be acceptable." But if it is found out that you have something to do with the White Lotus Sect bandits, this will be the biggest evidence of your resentment. ”

Li Chenggang understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's words and the weight in them. Once it is found out that his family is related to the White Lotus Sect, they will be anti-thieves, and they will naturally use some extraordinary means to destroy the peace of Zhuji County. This realization made his heart slam suddenly, and a very bad feeling had risen from his heart, but he was afraid that the other party was really prepared!

As if to confirm Li Chenggang's speculation, one of the officials who was rummaging in his main house suddenly let out a surprised cry: "There is a dark room here!" ”

Yang Zhen looked at Li Chenggang thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: "Li Yuanwai is really careful, and it is safe to set up the secret room in his bedroom." But I've already called for a careful search for the existence of the secret room. Because after dealing with the White Lotus bandits a few times, I already know that they are accustomed to setting up a secret room in their homes to worship the Childless Mother and Maitreya Buddha. It seems that there will be no exceptions this time! After that, without waiting for Li Chenggang to react again, he walked towards that side.

Li Chenggang's face changed suddenly, and he already understood how the other party was going to set the blame. He hurriedly followed Yang Zhen in a few steps, and walked towards his bedroom, while constantly muttering in his heart: "Don't let them succeed!" ”

But then an exclamation came from there, but he was completely blinded: "There is such a broken tablet in this small secret room, and it is really strange that there is no mother with a childless mother!" ”

Yang Zhen had already walked into the bedroom at this time, and when he saw a small door open on a wall in the west, he nodded with satisfaction. It seems that Ruan Tong and the others have indeed learned a lot from themselves, and they can find the secret room in a short time.

As early as when he decided to do this, Yang Zhen guessed that a wealthy family like the Li family must have a secret room somewhere to hide treasures or in case it is used to hide. It's just that he didn't expect Li Chenggang to be so unimaginative, and put the secret room in his bedroom, so that even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't do it if he had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect.

Ruan Tong in the secret room heard the footsteps, and when he saw that it was Yang Zhen, he smiled at him proudly, and then raised the god card in his hand and said, "My lord, there is nothing else to find in this room, only such a strange spiritual position, but I don't know what it is." ”

"What do you know?" Yang Zhen acted in a full set, and seemed to reprimand: "The childless old mother written above is the evil god that the White Lotus Sect has always worshipped!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Chenggang, who was standing in front of the door and was completely stunned: "Outside the staff, it should be called ironclad evidence now, right?" ”
