Chapter Forty-Six: Old Friends

The fake county magistrate snorted, poured a cup of tea for himself, and said indifferently: "The master came to me, presumably not just to chat with the lower officials, right?" If there is anything, the master just says it, there is no need to beat around the bush. ”

"Okay." Li Canghai glanced at him approvingly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll say it directly." Do you remember what happened in Funiu Mountain in Jinshui County a month ago? ”

"Funiu Mountain in Jinshui County?" The fake county commander frowned unconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know where it is. ”

Li Canghai observed so carefully, and the subtle expression of the fake county order was all in his eyes.

"Oh? Don't you really know? A month ago, there had been a murder on Funiu Mountain, in which several servants and a man died. Li Canghai's eyes turned, and he casually swept past the fake county order.

"So what?" The fake county made his brows furrow even tighter.

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, he stared at the fake county order, and then said word by word: "Coincidentally, that man's name is also Li Canghai." ”

The fake county commander's heart tightened, he took a breath, and said: "There are so many people in the world who have the same name and surname, what does this matter have to do with me." ”

Li Canghai snorted lightly, and he said seriously: "If it's just a duplicate name, why is Lord Li so nervous?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The fake county commander frowned and asked.

"And as far as I know, that Li Canghai is the one who should go to Zhengyang County to take up his post. But why are you an adult now? Li Canghai pressed his hands on the round table and said lightly.

The fake county commander's face changed suddenly, he stared at Li Canghai, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are?" Li Canghai sat on the stool and said in an indifferent tone: "Can you explain to me how the real Zhengyang County Commander died?" ”

The fake county magistrate was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed strangely.

"You say I'm an impostor, who can prove it?"

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly, he picked up a tea cup, and said lightly: "Indeed, no one can prove it, and no one will even think that the person who died in the wilderness is actually the real Zhengyang County Commander." ”

"Master, although the official position is low, after all, he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and the county order appointed by the current saint. What is your purpose in slandering your own officials like this? The fake county commander raised his eyebrows, and sneered in his heart.

Li Canghai shook his head, this person really didn't cry when he saw the coffin.

Taking out a piece of paper from his arms, he read lightly: "Li Canghai, Tianbao was appointed as the commander of Zhengyang County in March of the ninth year, and he transferred from Luodao to Jinshui to Zhengyang in early June. However, you took office in mid-June, but the route you took was contrary to the route of the state capital's record, from the merger of the state to Luoyang to Zhengyang. If I'm not mistaken, Li Canghai at that time should have been a teacher at a private school in Luodao. ”

Speaking of this, Li Canghai paused, he stared at the fake county order with great interest and said: "Luodao to merge with the state, to say the least, it will take more than a month, may I ask your Excellency how to travel thousands of miles to take up the post within half a month?" ”

The fake county commander's eyes suddenly panicked, he didn't expect Li Canghai to investigate his whereabouts so carefully. Indeed, from Luo Dao to Bingzhou, it was too late to take office, but he went to office in the middle of the year.

He always felt that he was doing a good job, and even regarded himself as Li Canghai, but he didn't expect that because of such subtleties, others found flaws.

"Who the hell are you?" The fake county commander's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at him and shouted.

Li Canghai took off his veil and said lightly: "Li Canghai." ”

The fake county commander intuitively looked dark, and his body shook involuntarily.

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists, he knew that the other party was definitely not a good person, and he was ready to fight at any time.

Suddenly, the fake county magistrate knelt down at him with tears in his eyes.

This move suddenly made Li Canghai a little puzzled, he frowned, and before he could speak, he listened to the fake county order.

"Young Master, you didn't die? You're alive! I...... I'm Ah Xu! ”

Ah Xu? Li Canghai's brows furrowed even tighter, and he suddenly felt that this name was a little familiar.

"Young master, don't you remember me? I'm Kang Xu, young master! ”

Kang Xu? Li Canghai felt familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that there was indeed this person in his impression.

This person is Li Canghai's scholar, the two have played together since childhood, saying that they are masters and servants, but they are actually comparable to brothers.

Li Canghai was suddenly stunned, no wonder he felt a little familiar when he first saw the fake county order.

"What's going on? How could you pretend to be me and become the magistrate of Zhengyang County? Li Canghai pulled up Kang Xu and asked suspiciously.

Kang Xu wiped away his tears, and then said: "Young master, do you remember that when you went to work, I went back to my hometown in Bingzhou once. Just as I was returning home, I suddenly received a letterhead with an official document attached to it. ”

Li Canghai touched his chin in surprise and asked, "Is it the official of Zhengyang County?" ”

Kang Xu nodded and said, "Exactly, I thought it was strange at the time, how could the young master send me the official document when he was obviously going to take up his post?" So, I hurried to Zhengyang County that day to find out what had happened. ”

Speaking of this, Kang Xu's expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed and said, "Before I arrived in Zhengyang, I heard about the murder of the young master. Thinking that since someone sent an official document to me, the person who sent the letter must have something to do with the murderer of the young master, so I made a decision to replace the young master in Zhengyang County, so as to investigate the murderer in secret. ”

Li Canghai listened to him carefully, according to memory, Kang Xu was a trustworthy person, and he had absolutely reason to believe what he said.

At the same time, however, more mysteries have emerged.

The murderer took the official document and sent it to his own scholar, is it just so simple for him to impostor?

Who is the real murderer, and what secrets are hidden in it? What's more, before this he was just an ordinary Confucian student, who would calculate him like this?

originally thought that he had encountered a fake county order, and finally solved the truth of Yuan Zun's murder, but he didn't expect that now there are more mysteries.

Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Li Canghai decided not to think about the murder first. Since this fake county order is my own family, it will save a lot of trouble.

"Ah Xu, to be honest, you were the one who entered the Di family that day?" Li Canghai stared at him intently and asked in a deep voice.

Kang Xu shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Young master, I swear, I have never entered the Di family. ”

Li Canghai's body had not fully recovered, he coughed a few times, drank a glass of water, and frowned: "You really have nothing to do with the Gopher Gate?" ”

Kang Xu's expression was excited, and he shouted: "Young master, if I have half a lie, let me thunder five times in the sky!" ”
