After Liao Zhongnan checked into the post house, he washed his face and immediately went to the county office to investigate the case.

Cui Yin accompanied him and said carefully: "Liao Yushi, the official has prepared some water and wine, and he will wash the dust for Liao Yushi, and I hope that Liao Yushi will appreciate the light." ”

Liao Zhongnan said solemnly: "When it comes to eating and drinking, Cui County Order doesn't have to bother, this official has his own gentleman to eat." When the official heard that the fire well had poisoned salt and eaten the dead, this matter was related to the safety of tens of millions of people, how could he be neglected? The official rushed to the fire well, and it was for this matter that Cui County ordered to bring the case file to the official first. ”

When people talk about this, if you entangle it again, you will become a corrupt official, Cui Yin had to ask the little official to bring all the files of the poison salt case, and put them in front of Liao Zhongnan.

"Then Liao Yushi will take his time, and the official will not disturb Liao Yushi." Cui Yin arched his hand and withdrew.

In the small courtyard rented by Fang Tongxing, Li Xiazi rolled up the poems and books, pacing back and forth, and Fang Tongxing, who had a meaty face, smiled ruefully: "It's okay now, as soon as Liao Yushi arrives, I want to see what tricks he Cui Yin can play." ”

Li Xiazi stopped and said disappreciatively: "Fang Langjun, don't forget, there is also a Gongsun Jingyu, there is no news from Chengdu so far, and I am still not sure in my heart!" ”

"Gongsun Jingyu is a straw bale who can only eat, drink and have fun, with Mr. Li's strategy, he can still escape from the palm of Mr. Li's hand."

Li Xiazi muttered: "Fang Langjun, you have to be prepared for the worst in everything, so that you can be prepared, once you can't leave Gongsun Jingyu aside in this matter, the consequences will not be something you and I can bear." ”

"Sir, don't worry, I'll send someone to Chengdu to have a look."

As soon as Fang Tongxing's people were sent out, a fast horse from Chengdu came galloping over, and hurriedly reported: "Lang Jun, Gongsun Jingyu's ** woman, was taken into custody by the Jiannan Jiedu Yamen......."

After receiving such news, Fang Tongxing and Li Xiazi can be said to be like drinking sweet rain, and they can't help but celebrate each other.

Fang Tongxing laughed wildly: "Sir, you can rest assured, I just said that Gongsun Jingyu is a straw bag, sure enough, now you can go to the county government to find Liao Yushi to complain, right?" ”

Li Xiazi had no worries, and happily responded: "Since Gongsun Jingyu has been dragged down, let's act according to the plan next." ”

"Someone! Fetch the wine, you have to drink it first, and then go to the county government to complain! ”

Cui Yin hurriedly returned to the back office, and then asked Li Ang to be invited to his study to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Li Ang entered the study, Cui Yin couldn't wait to close the door, and then asked: "Sir, as soon as Liao Zhongnan comes, he wants to check the poison salt case. ”

Li Ang replied unhurriedly: "Ming Mansion, the key now is to benefit Liu Erhu Xiao, as long as he doesn't let go, the others don't have to worry too much, above this court, the Ming Mansion has no partiality, even if Liao Zhongnan wants to pick a thorn, he can't find fault with the Ming Mansion for a while." ”

"I'm afraid that Liao Zhongnan will use the words of punishment, Liu Erhu can't stand it."

"Then let Liao Zhongnan stay in the fire well without the face, and even let the people of the fire well expel Liao Zhongnan." Leon said confidently.

Cui Yin picked the lamp to make the light brighter, and he couldn't hide the worry on his face: "Mr. Li, Liao Zhongnan is a person, oil and salt don't enter, water and fire don't invade, it's not easy to deal with him!" ”

Flies don't bite unstitched eggs because they have nowhere to go. Liao Zhongnan looks like such a good egg, and it is really difficult to bite him and make him stink.

Li Ang said confidently: "Cui Mingfu, first of all, we must believe that we are right, we are here to invigorate the economy of Huojing, make the entire Huojing rich, and benefit the people of Huojing, which is a noble cause."

Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin, and no matter how bright things are, sometimes they need some dark means to assist. Therefore, our methods may be a little shady, but in the end we are really benefiting the majority of the people in the fire well.

I have tied my own interests, the Ming government's achievements, and the interests of the people of Huojing, is there anything wrong with this? There's nothing wrong with that.

The Fang family has been running the Huojing salt industry for so many years, in addition to personal gain, what have they brought to the people of Huojing? Since they can't do the good for the people of the fire well, and I can, what's wrong with replacing them?

Dealing with people, you can't only take care of yourself like the Fang family, you must bundle your own interests with the interests of the majority, and while you benefit yourself, you must also benefit others, so that you can have the soil for survival and last for a long time.

Moreover, to be a human being, we must have faith to benefit Huojing County, this is the belief that Mingfu and I share, and all those who hinder this noble cause, no matter how upright he behaves, no matter how many reasons he has, are wrong.

It is true that people like Liao Zhongnan are upright, but it is often difficult for such people to truly benefit the people, because they do not think about flexibility in everything. They only thought that everyone could become a saint, thinking that in this way the society would be harmonious and the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Liao Zhongnan is actually the biggest obstacle to the prosperity of Huojing, and we don't have to be weak and short of breath in front of him, because we are the ones who really benefit the people of Huojing, and we are bound together with the people of Huojing.

A person like him is not completely without gaps, he is not profitable, but he has a good name, and a good reputation is the foundation of his righteousness, as long as he starts with the word name, Liao Zhongnan will have no shame to stay in the fire well anymore. ”

Cui Yin listened to his words, and thought back, yes, it's right that he wants political achievements, but this is also for the benefit of the people of Huojing, so he made political achievements, for this goal, what is his heart?

"Sir, people like Liao Zhongnan cherish their reputation very much, how can we tarnish their reputation?"

"What's so hard about that?" Li Ang asked Cui Yin to come over and whispered to each other.

Cui Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and said, "Mr. is really a noble person for this official!" ”

***

Liao Zhongnan fought at night, spent the whole night reading all the files of the poisoned salt case, and the next day it was just dawn, and he took people to the Fang family's salt shop in person to check the destroyed warehouse salt.

Liao Zhongnan rushed over after receiving a private report from others, saying that there was collusion between officials and businessmen in Huojing County, planting blame, and killing people for money, so he hurried over, and with this preconceived impression, he had no good impression of Cui Yin.

The people of Huojing City heard that the imperial history of the court had personally come to investigate the poison and salt case, and they rushed to see what was going on. The front of the Fang family's salt shop was soon crowded with people.

Liao Zhongnan, who has a clear appearance, just looks at his appearance, he gives people a sense of integrity, which makes the people who came to watch can't help but praise again and again, Liao Zhongnan flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Open a warehouse for drug testing!" ”

The two remaining salt warehouses in Fang's salt shop were also opened, and the salt inside was intact. Liao Zhongnan asked people to bring a number of chickens and dogs, extracted a number of salts from the two salt depots, and mixed them into porridge to feed the chickens and dogs.

Everyone patiently waited for two pillars of incense this time, twenty or thirty chickens and dogs, and none of them died of poisoning. The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief. Liao Zhongnan snorted coldly and said, "Cui County Order, why didn't you inspect these two warehouses of salt that day?" that the people may be reassured? Could it be that Cui County has another problem? ”

Cui Yin, who had faith, calmly replied in front of Liao Zhongnan: "Liao Yushi, is there any difference between these two warehouses of salt inspection?" As for the safety of the people, how can this official, as the parent official of the fire well, not care? On the same day, the official posted a notice that all the salt in the people's homes must be tested for poison before they can be eaten, and he sent a letter to the envoy to report the chapter and the envoy of the Jie Jie, and ordered the people everywhere to test the poison first if they bought the salt of the Fang family. What is wrong with this officer? ”

"In the entire Jiannan Dao, only Liu Gui was poisoned by eating Fang's salt, doesn't Cui Xianling feel strange?"

Of course, the official was also very strange, so during the court trial, Liu Erhu was interrogated with great torture. Didn't Liao Yushi read the file of the court trial? ”

"Humph!" Liao Zhongnan snorted coldly, turned around with his sleeves, and went to the destroyed salt warehouse to observe.

The people who were watching outside saw the discord between the two officials, and they suddenly became energetic and discussed in private.

Cui Yin was not to be outdone, and immediately counterattacked: "Liao Yushi, could it be that you have already determined that Liu Erhu is falsely accused?" ”

Liao Zhongnan was speechless, snorted coldly again, and his eyes swept towards Hi Yin were full of coldness.
