"If the lord wants to set the capital of Beiping, it is impossible to completely avoid the dissatisfaction of the civil and military, but if you want to reduce it, there are many ways." The big event in her heart was decided, Fan Lixiang was really relaxed now, and she began to think about Liu Zhang's troubles.

"What's the solution?" Liu Zhang came out because of the dizziness of discussing with Huang Yueying, but although he was irritable, Fan Lixiang said that there was a way, and of course Liu Zhang was willing to listen.

But before Fan Lixiang could say anything, she suddenly saw a large number of people gathered in a group of houses that had been built in front of her, and faintly there were people passing by and said, "Hey, why did you stone people to death?" Do you say there is a problem with the other houses? ”

"Who knows, I don't even dare to live."

The two people hurried away, their faces unable to hide their disappointment and suspicion.

"What's going on?" Liu Zhang frowned, and Fan Lixiang immediately led the soldiers over.

The building complex in front is a residential house that has just been built, which is ready to resettle refugees and those retired soldiers, Fan Lixiang is to maintain law and order, and Jiang Wan is in charge of the construction, and it is not Fan Lixiang's responsibility to have problems with the building.

But I heard that the dead man was still beside him, and Fan Lixiang had to pay attention to it.

Liu Zhang was only wearing civilian clothes, and with Liu Zhang's status, it was inconvenient to manage ordinary civil affairs, so he only followed behind Fan Lixiang and was handled by Fan Lixiang.

When the onlookers saw the arrival of the general, they all moved out of the way, only to see that there was a ruin inside, and there were still remnants of the collapsed ruins of the house, three stretchers, and three straw mats covered with three corpses, one of which was very small, and it looked like a child.

Liu Zhang clenched his fists all of a sudden, if it was the construction party cutting corners, he wouldn't mind killing people immediately. And Liu Zhang also knows. Murder is such a thing. Fan Lixiang may be more skilled than herself. It's inconvenient for me to meddle in these things directly, so don't meddle if you can.

There are already officials to deal with it, Liu Zhang saw the official who was originally standing on the side, and when he saw Fan Lixiang coming, his face twitched, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't move and stood behind Fan Lixiang. It's like an entourage.

"What's going on?" Fan Lixiang asked coldly.

The official stood up, Fan Lixiang, as a general, was not something he could offend as a petty official, and the official hurriedly said to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, there is a problem with the project here, and the construction project contracted by the Qu family suddenly collapsed after people moved in, smashing a family of three, miserable." ”

The official said and wiped away a handful of tears. Looking at the three corpses, he said: "The head of the family here is a soldier of the Sichuan Army, and his ancestral home is mediocre. From the defeat of the Xiliang army at Yangping Pass, the king of Shu, he began to fight with our Sichuan army, and he died like this, which is a pity. ”

"How can it be?" Fan Lixiang listened to the officials, more and more angry, Fan Lixiang himself commanded the Shenwei Army, the Shenwei Army has grown from the scattered peasant army at the beginning to the present, and has long had a cohesive military soul, Fan Lixiang and other generals value the lives of soldiers.

Fan Lixiang didn't have to think about it to know that this was a businessman cutting corners, or supervising the workers was unfavorable, resulting in the unstable structure of the house, otherwise how could a normally built house collapse.

Such a soldier, who had followed the Sichuan army for many years, saw that the world had been unified, and responded to Liu Zhang's call to settle in Beiping, but he died in the hands of profiteers.

Fan Lixiang only felt extremely angry, and immediately said loudly: "Call the contractor of the project here to see me." ”

"General Fan, this is a construction accident, General Fan is in charge of the security and defense of Beiping, I'm afraid it will ......" The official raised his eyelids and glanced at Fan Lixiang, and said tentatively.

"I'm afraid of what? Now that they're all dead, can't General Ben take care of it? ”

Not to mention that Liu Zhang was behind him, Liu Zhang didn't speak, he must have allowed himself to take care of it, even if Liu Zhang is not there, Fan Lixiang plans to take care of it.

"No, that's not what Xia Guan meant." Seeing that Fan Lixiang was angry, the official hurriedly laughed, and said cautiously: "General Fan, the lower official is not questioning General Fan's authority, but ......"

The official looked left and right, and lowered his voice to Fan Lixiang: "The businessman who contracted the project here is named Qu Wu, who is a clansman from Quxi, a big businessman in Shuzhong.

That is on the side of Quxi, but it is on the side of the King of Shu.

The most important thing is not here, General Fan also knows that Qu Xi is the younger brother of Mrs. Qu and Qu Tian's nephew, Qu Tian is the person who is listed in the Meritorious Pavilion by the King of Shu, and he attaches great importance to it. Mrs. Qu is the wife of the King of Shu.

This Qu Wu, as Quxi's clansmen and cronies, who dares to move. ”

Fan Lixiang also frowned when she heard this, Quxi, with the growth of the Sichuan army, several big businessmen in Shuzhong in the past, except for the fat man, others have already become rich.

Although Quxi is the youngest, its business methods are more aggressive than other major businesses, and the Qu family has faintly become the first private businessman, and the people who move Quxi are greatly implicated.

What's more, Qu Lingchen is also implicated, Fan Lixiang knows this lady, but she is already officially recognized as the main mother of the Sichuan Army, which is much more formal than herself, and Fan Lixiang is not easy to make up her mind.

Fan Lixiang glanced back at Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang didn't move anything, and when he saw Fan Lixiang looking at him, he just nodded slightly.

Fan Lixiang suddenly made up her mind, and immediately said loudly to the official: "General Ben doesn't care what the origin of that Quwu is, take it immediately, and I will bear the consequences." ”

"Yes, yes." Since Fan Lixiang said so, the official hurriedly nodded and went to call someone to summon him, and the surrounding people praised Fan Lixiang when they saw that Fan Lixiang was so selfless.

The reputation of the Shenwei Army's love for the people has long spread all over the world, which is why Liu Zhang called Fan Lixiang to maintain law and order in Beiping, but most of the people in Beiping have only heard of Fan Lixiang and the love of the Shenwei Army, and have not seen it in person.

This time, I saw that Fan Lixiang did not hesitate to order to take down the cronies of the younger brother of the wife of the king of Shu, and dared to offend the giant businessmen and the royal relatives, and finally confirmed the truth of the rumors, for such a general, there is no one who is not loved by the people.

"While talking." Liu Zhang said a word behind Fan Lixiang, looking like Fan Lixiang's close entourage, and then walked to the periphery of the crowd with a lot of power.

Fan Lixiang followed and walked out, and those people saw that Fan Lixiang's "entourage" called Fan Lixiang, a good general, aside to speak, and knew what to say without guessing. It must be to persuade the master not to wade into troubled waters. Be sensible. To protect himself, he couldn't help but despise Liu Zhang a hundred times in his heart.

"Lord, what's wrong? Seeing that Mrs. Qu is involved, don't you want to make a big fuss? Don't worry, Mrs. Qu will definitely be okay with this matter. ”

Fan Lixiang has thoroughly studied the women around Liu Zhang, and it would be strange for people like Qu Lingchen to know these trivial matters, if they knew that her brother's cronies were collecting money and killing people. Surely it will not be covered.

"If it's really cutting corners and killing people, no matter who is involved, even if it involves my Liu Zhang's son, I will do the same."

Liu Zhang said a word, and then said: "Lixiang, didn't you notice something wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Liu Zhang glanced inside, and after Fan Lixiang withdrew, perhaps out of respect for Fan Lixiang, the people did not block the opening, and Liu Zhang looked in. Inside, the officials were still studying the accident with some people, pointing fingers at the three bodies. The sad expression on his face was revealed.

"According to the experience of this king, the two sentences that the official said to you just now, and reported Qu Wu's family situation, is not afraid that you will offend the Qu family, but deliberately provoke you to offend the Qu family."

Liu Zhang obviously felt that it was unusual, that is, the official seemed to be too public and selfless, Fan Lixiang was not very popular in the army or in the officialdom, and few generals of the Sichuan army liked Fan Lixiang, this official was very worried about Fan Lixiang, and was afraid that she would touch the Qu family.

Because the official's face was unnatural after seeing Fan Lixiang arrive, Liu Zhang carefully observed the official from the very beginning, seemingly inadvertently, and the corner of his eye never left the official's face.

When the official was angry with Fan Lixiang and asked to find Qu Wu, there was obviously a hint of joy in his eyes, as if Fan Lixiang came out and did him great benefits.

This expression aroused Liu Zhang's vigilance even more, and his intuition told Liu Zhang that this matter was not so simple.

"Deliberately provoke me to offend the composer? Why? Do I have a grudge against him? Fan Lixiang said.

"I found that what has changed over the years is not only your style of doing things, but also your IQ, how did you become so stupid?"

"You...... Where am I stupid. Fan Lixiang's face was immediately angry, but she felt very good in her heart, Liu Zhang could joke with her like this, which showed that it was a very close relationship, which was much better than the blunt relationship between the lord and the minister.

Liu Zhang said: "There are two possibilities for a person to push you into the fire pit, one is to have a grudge, and the other is that it is good for him to jump into the fire.

In this matter, in this matter, there are also two possibilities, first, that official is a well-meaning person, afraid that you will be involved in right and wrong, and second, that official is using you.

My guess is that the official wants to deal with the Qu family, but the Qu family is really not easy to mess with, and now that you are in the forefront, they will be happy. ”

"." After listening to Liu Zhang, Fan Lixiang glanced at Liu Zhang disappreciatively: "After doing it for a long time, you still want to help your wife, and you have said so much alive, cut." ”

"That's right, these are all speculations, we can only look at the facts, the house collapsed, people died, we must give justice to the dead family, but." Liu Zhang's face was cold: "If someone dares to take the life of a soldier and a family to grab benefits for himself, no matter who it is, I will never let it go." ”

Fan Lixiang saw Liu Zhang's expression and knew that Liu Zhang was not shirking for the Qu family, and with her understanding of Liu Zhang, she would not shirk it, her heart slowly calmed down, and she suddenly felt as if she had neglected something.

"No matter, let's find out about the accident first."

At this time, a merchant ran in from outside with a robe, followed by two officials, and when he saw Fan Lixiang beside him, he immediately ran over.

"Caomin Quwu meets General Fan and Lord Li."

Qu Wu saluted Fan Lixiang and the official, Fan Lixiang saw that Liu Zhang did not move, and knew that Liu Zhang did not want to come out, so he nodded to Qu Wu and said coldly:

"Qu Wu, let me ask you, this house has just been built, and the people who lived in it collapsed, and now three lives have died, children, women, veterans of the Sichuan army who fought on the battlefield, which life is extremely precious, what do you say?

Whether your project is cutting corners, or employing unskilled workers and craftsmen, from time to time, otherwise I don't care what background you have, be careful of your head. ”

Qu Wu is very strong, he doesn't look like a businessman, but like a dart master, but this is not surprising, the businessmen who followed the rise of the Sichuan army, except for the old club, most of them went south and north to make money, and they were not too bloated.

When Qu Wu heard that there was a dead person, it was still Fan Lixiang who was in charge, and he was obviously a little nervous, and immediately said to a family member: "Go and get all the account books immediately, and call all the workers who built this house and the steward who supervised this batch of houses." ”

"Yes." The family hurriedly went.

Fan Lixiang frowned suddenly, and said to Qu Wu: "Qu Wu, you really just care about making a fortune, there is such a big incident at the construction site, and the officials are here, you don't even know, only now go to the workers and stewards?" ”

"This ...... There is nothing to do, General Fan, the film contracted by our Qu family is very large, where can I be busy alone, if something happens, the steward should notify me, but I haven't received any news at all. ”

Qu Wu was even more nervous, his face was full of anxiety, Liu Zhang saw that he seemed to be a little depressed, and thought about it a little in his heart, the officials have come to see the corpse, even if the steward doesn't inform him, the officials should go and inform Qu Wu first, why didn't Qu Wu know?

Or did Qu Wu know, but didn't take it seriously? If it's the latter, it's damned.

"Sir, no, no, no, the stewards of this area and the workers who built this house are all gone, and I heard that they didn't come back last night."

Fan Lixiang and Liu Zhang both frowned, and the officials on the side said: "Obviously absconded in fear of crime, these people killed the lives of retired soldiers, everyone should be killed, Qu Wu, as a contractor, you also have a responsibility that cannot be shirked." ”

"I ......" These workers and stewards are gone, and it is Fan Lixiang, a famous patriotic general, who is in charge, Fan Lixiang is notoriously ruthless, Qu Wu has already thought of his fate, as if his strength has been taken away in an instant, and his whole body is weak.

But he immediately cheered up, and hurriedly said to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, the account book will come soon, which records the account entry and entry of our Qujia construction site, and the purchase and distribution of building materials."

In order to contract the project, our Qu family definitely bought enough building materials, distributed them to various construction sites, recruited those workers who needed skills, and carefully selected them, and offered high remuneration.

These are reflected in the ledger. ”

At this time, Qu Wu saw someone coming over with a stack of account books, and immediately beckoned.

Fan Lixiang waved her hand, Liu Min stepped forward, Liu Min and Jiang Wan were equally famous, although the literary talent could not be compared to Jiang Wan, but the account book could still be analyzed, and several account rooms hurriedly flipped through it for Liu Min.

Without waiting for the results to be found, the official on the side said: "Qu Wu, such a big thing happened, I'm afraid it's not the basic ledger that can clear the suspicion, right?"

You know, this ledger can be faked. (To be continued......)
