Li Ce sat on the seat of the county magistrate with a golden knife, he really had a cup of tea in front of him, Li Ce said that if this cup of tea was drunk, the official had not come back, and when he came back, he had to beat him hard.

When he picked up the teacup and drank the last sip, three figures appeared outside the county government hall, led by the officials, but they suddenly became gray-headed, with a blue nose and swollen face.

The soldier kept urging Master He to hurry up, and Master He panted and pulled his robe, wiping his sweat while hurriedly walking inside.

As soon as Li Ce saw this situation, he knew that it must be that the official wanted to run to report the news, but he was caught and beaten by his own soldiers.

As soon as Master He looked up and saw Li Ce sitting in the seat of the magistrate's ascension hall and looking at him, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and this young man's list was also a little bigger.

Li Ce smiled slightly and said, "Master He, do you still recognize me?" ”

Master He wiped his sweat, stepped forward, looked at Li Ce carefully, and suddenly his face changed: "You, you are that showman!" ”

Li Ce smiled coldly and said, "Master has a good memory, it's me." ”

Master He pointed at him and said in surprise: "Aren't you escorted to the capital?" And there was an ambush on the way...... Oh no, you, how did you get back? ”

When Li Ce heard this, there was a wave of anger in his heart, sure enough, He Ruinian sent someone to assassinate him halfway, it seems that this Master He knows a lot of inside information, but he has to get something out of his mouth!

Li Ce snorted coldly: "What, you don't want me to come back?" ”

Master He is an old man, he has been a master for more than ten years, what kind of person has not seen it, when he looks at Li Ce's momentum, he knows that he is very different from before, since this kid dares to break into the county government so blatantly, and he also sent someone to call him, it shows that he does not take the county in his eyes at all! Could it be that what happened to him that he was blessed by misfortune?

Master He's mind quickly turned, no matter what, don't offend him first, he made up his mind, and then changed to a smiling face and said, "Where did Childe say?" Why do you think so, although I also know some about you, and I am quite sympathetic to the plight of my son, but I am just a master, and I don't count these many things. ”

Master He was busy clearing himself up, and the consciousness of officialdom magic for many years told him that this kid was not good!

Li Ce snorted coldly, and did not argue with him, but said casually: "I am also very moved by what Master He said, and it just so happens that I still have some things to ask Master He for advice." ”

Master He hurriedly smiled and said, "Childe, please speak, but are you ...... Come down and sit down somewhere else, this seat is ordered by Guo County, if he sees it for a while, I'm afraid it will ...... "Master He is worthy of being an old fox, and these words are just to test Li Ce's reality and let him tell him what his identity is now."

Li Ce picked up the shocking wood on the table and looked at it, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Guo Fatzi also dares to let General Ben give him a seat?" ”

Master He was shocked, General Ben? This kid is really soaring, and people are coming back to take revenge!

The reason why Master He has been able to sit firmly for more than ten years is that he has the ability to see the wind and steer the rudder, at this time he has determined that Li Ce is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, he became a general, how can Guo Quanyao compare with others in a small county order, after weighing it in an instant, he decided to abandon Guo Quanyao and take refuge in Li Ce to protect himself.

"Yes, yes, General Li is right, what do you want to ask, just ask, the old man knows everything." Master He said with a flattering smile.

How could Li Ce not know that he had tested himself several times before, but what he wanted was this effect, people like Master He ate hard rather than soft, and only when he was shocked first could he be willing to tell the truth honestly.

Li Ce stared at him with blazing eyes and said, "Let me ask you, what happened to the fire in Fenglou on Yongan Street?" ”

Master He's face changed, and he said: "I heard that it was caused by the guy accidentally overturning the kerosene lamp, and the specific situation is not very clear." ”

Li Ce sneered, if such a big thing happened, would the county government not file it, and as a master, how could he not know anything.

"Didn't anyone report it? Don't you county officials know about this? ”

Master He said embarrassedly: "This ...... Someone did report the case, but ......"

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Li Ce said with some displeasure: "Say it directly!" ”

Master He gritted his teeth and looked around, and smiled flatteringly at Li Ce.

Li Ce knew what he meant, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the two soldiers to drive out all the officials.

"Can you say it now?" Li Ce looked at him coldly and said.

Master He nodded and said repeatedly: "Yes, there were indeed people who reported the case at that time, but the county ordered the adults to ignore it, and let people beat the messy stick of the report. "Master He can't forget to get rid of himself.

Li Ce glared at him fiercely, he could imagine that the people from Fenglou had come to report the case, what kind of faces were they from the county government!

Master He saw him looking at him fiercely, and a chill felt in his heart, how could this weak show not be seen for a few months, and his aura had become so powerful, and the momentum he exuded just now was not as strong as Guo County's order.

"Where did all the people in Fenglou go later, why can't anyone be found in the entire Zhending Mansion?" Li Ce glared at him for a moment and asked again.

Master He had several rounds of confrontation with him, and his heart became more and more shocked, this kid seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts, he is now a general, if he really lied to him and was known by him, he would never be able to compete with him, and Guo County Ling would definitely not come forward to protect himself, and it was himself who would suffer when the time came, and after weighing it again and again, he decided to tell the truth!

Master He took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Don't hide it from the general, the old man only knows that Fenglou not only lost fire, but also died!" ”

"What!" Li Ce said unconsciously in a loud voice.

"Smack!" As soon as he used his strength, he directly pinched the teacup in his hand! ，

Master He was shocked, so he pinched the teacup at Li Ce, and knew that he was a top master, but he didn't expect that he had hidden his strength before! Master He has given up any luck at this time, no wonder he can become a general, this kid is by no means simple!

Li Ce's face turned pale, and he roared in a low voice: "What is the specific situation, who is the one who died?" Say it! ”

Master He wiped a cold sweat and said busily: "According to the report of the officials, a total of three lives were killed, one seems to be the chef of Fenglou, and two seem to be the runners in the store. ”

"What about the rest of the store? What about the hostess? ”

"To say that the little lady in Fenglou is really admired by the old man." Master He nodded.

Fairy? Li Ce quickly thought that the little lady in his mouth was undoubtedly a fairy.

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it!"

"Yes, the little lady actually scattered all her family wealth to comfort the family of the deceased, and the fire in Fenglou spread, and some shops around were also affected, and the owners asked the little lady in Fenglou for compensation, to say that these people are really shameless, do some things to make things worse, people are already miserable enough, and some people take advantage of the fire to rob, and some open their mouths for a hundred taels, in fact, his house burned out a window lattice!" Master He shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

Li Ce heard the anger in his heart, how much did Xian'er suffer, but where was he at that time? At that time, she wanted to have a shoulder to lean on!

Master He sighed and continued: "I heard that in the end, the little lady couldn't help but lose all her family wealth, and it seems that she still owes a lot of silver, and even Fenglou sold it. ”

"And where is she now?"

"This, I really don't know." Master He frowned and shook his head, this time it seemed that he really didn't know.

Li Ce took a deep breath and furrowed his brows.

Master He saw that his face was gloomy and scary, and he secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, why did he let himself bump into it today......

After a while, Li Ce spoke: "You go to all the officials to gather together, and they will go separately to find the original proprietress of Fenglou." ”

Master He said with an embarrassed face: "This ...... Without the order of Guo County's order, the old man has no right to order the officials without authorization. ”

Li Ce snorted coldly, took off his waist card and threw it to him: "Is this enough?" ”

It's embarrassing that Master He doesn't recognize the waist card, he only knows that this is a waist card like a general, but he can't see what level it is, because he has never been an official after all......

Li Ce looked at his embarrassed expression holding the waist card, and snorted heavily: "I am the Marquis of Yu, the former Si of the palace, and the ranger general of His Majesty's personal title. ”

The ranger general Master He still knows that it is a six-grade official who is serious! Hearing this, he hurriedly respectfully handed the waist card back to Li Ce, and said with a sneer: "The old man knows, so he will order it to go down." He was glad that he hadn't offended him just now.

Li Ce stopped him and said, "Slow, there is one more thing, Master He has a person named Erniu, that is my friend, I heard that he is in labor?" ”

Master He's cheeks twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Old Man will send someone to check later." ”

"Check it now." Li Ce said expressionlessly.

Master He was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes, the old man will check it out, and the general will wait for a while." ”

After speaking, Master He nodded at Li Ce, hurriedly entered the back hall of the county ya, and then took a thick account book out. He put the account book on the table of the Eight Immortals and flipped through it carefully.

After a while, Master He said: "I found it, Erniu, dig a canal in the north of the city." ”

Li Ce glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take the account book and looked at it, only to see that five circles were drawn under Erniu's name, and three circles were drawn after the names of others, but there was a big "Bi" character written on it.

Li Ce stretched out his hand and pointed to Erniu's name and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Master He was speechless, and said, "This ...... This"

Li Ce's eyes widened and he scolded: "Hmph! You brutes! Isn't it deliberately remediating Erniu? ”

Master He hurriedly said: "I will send someone to call him back, and the extra labor will be settled according to the salary." ”

Li Ce glared at him fiercely, pointed to the account book and said, "You did this?" ”

Master He's heart was furious, but there was nowhere to shirk his responsibility, so he had to nod reluctantly.

Li Ce suddenly asked, "Will you make fake accounts?" ”

"Huh?" Master He's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard, and looked at Li Ce with a look of disbelief.

"I asked you if you would?"

Master He's eyes rolled, looked around and leaned forward, and said mysteriously: "The general wants to make a fake account?" ”

Li Ce knew that this old thing was proficient in this way when he saw his expression, so he continued: "If there is a fake account, can you see it? ”

Master He's face changed, his eyes rolled, and a few thoughts quickly flashed in his mind, he looked at Li Ce suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Li Ce knew what he was worried about, so he simply told him the truth: "I won't hide it from you, General Ben came this time to investigate several cases at the behest of His Majesty, which involved some accounting issues, and General Ben wanted to find a few people who understood to help him take a closer look......"

Before Li Ce finished speaking, Master He's eyes were already shining, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he hurriedly said: "General, you can be regarded as having found the right person, the old man is proficient in all kinds of fake accounts...... Ahem, I mean that as long as it is a fake account, it will not escape the eyes of the old decay, and the old decay dares to assure you that there is no account book in this world that the old decay cannot see! ”

Li Ce saw that he swore that he didn't know if this old thing was bragging, so he said with a straight face: "Master He, this is not a trivial matter, if you don't have this ability and delay the process of investigating the case, when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame it, and you won't be able to get out of it." ”

Unexpectedly, Master He, patted his chest and said: "The old man is only responsible for checking the account book, as long as there is a problem with the account book itself, if the old man does not see it, the old man is willing to bear the consequences." Master He realized that this was his only hope for a career in this life, and he had been waiting for such an opportunity for so many years, how could he allow it to slip away from his hands.

Li Ce knew that this old thing had always been cunning, and since he dared to say so with his slippery temperament, it seemed that he was really sure, and with the help of this old fox, the handling of the Cangzhou Salt Field case would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
