Leng Yi carefully looked at all the account books, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a sneer, and asked the servant to call Cheng Luojie in.

As soon as Cheng Luojie heard Leng Yi call him, she was overjoyed, quickly cleaned up, picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it, she felt satisfied, and then she came to Leng Yi's house, leaning on the door frame and looking at him: "Call me something?" ”

Leng Yi walked over, glanced at no one at the door, grabbed her little waist, and kissed her lips. Cheng Luojie immediately wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed back, pressing the towering twin peaks tightly against his solid chest.

It's a pity that Leng Yi quickly let her go. Cheng Luojie immediately knew that Leng Yi called her here, not only to kiss her, but also to have a task. He straightened his clothes, his face was full of peach blossoms, and he said in a low voice: "Does the treasure have a clue?" ”

Leng Yi shook his head: "I said last time, these two treasures shouldn't appear in the same place, otherwise, wouldn't it be miserable if they were served in one pot?" Therefore, there should be no second treasure in Bazhou, we can only wait for the news, wait for Ke Qiang's whereabouts, as well as the personnel related to Dong Ze, and find the preliminary clues, before we can continue to investigate. Now that the court has put me in this place where there will definitely be no second treasure, there is nothing I can do. ”

"Then I'll report to the boss and transfer you to a place where treasures may appear?"

"Where's the transfer? Where can treasures appear? ”

Cheng Luojie was speechless.

"This kind of inspection does not say that we can do it, and we don't need to do it, we must use a large number of personnel to conduct open and secret inspections in order to find clues, with preliminary clues, the court will definitely transfer me, we just wait."

Cheng Luojie nodded: "That's right, then what did you ask me to do?" ”

"There is no clue to check the treasure, we can't sit and do nothing, I am still the general judge of Bazhou, and I have to do something for Bazhou." Leng Yi said, "Now I have a case that needs someone to investigate, but it is inconvenient for me to use the Yamen's arrest, because I speculate that the suspect should be someone from the Yamen, but there is no definite evidence yet." I'm worried I'm going to get scared, so I'm asking you to help me investigate. ”

"Okay, you say how do I check it?"

Leng Yi leaned into his ear and muttered something softly. Cheng Luojie nodded again and again.

Three days later, Leng Yi took the account book, took Cheng Luojie and Yamen to catch the fast, and came to the warehouse. Accompanied by the secretary of the household, the two clerks and the remaining guards were very nervous, because when the official could not solve the case, he would use the relevant scribes and soap subordinates to make a board. Although I have not seen this general judge do this, it does not mean that he will not do it.

Leng Yi held the account book in his hand, his eyes swept over the people standing in front of him one by one, and finally, he fell on one of the two treasurers, and said coldly: "He Jian, if you don't tell me how to steal disaster relief food, do you still want this official to torture?" ”

The treasurer named He Jian suddenly turned pale, knelt on the ground with a grunt, kowtowed, and said: "Master, the villain has been wronged, the villain has not stolen disaster relief food, please check it out!" ”

"No?" Leng Yi sneered, checked the account book in his hand, and said, "Don't think that if you have clever means, this official will not be able to catch your fox tail!" He slowly opened the account book, turned to one of the pages, handed it over, and said: "At the beginning of this page, to the next few pages of the registered grain delivery situation in Lianhua County, you wrote it, right?" ”

He Jian got up on his knees, looked up, hurriedly waved his hands, and said, "No! It's really not a villain," he pointed to the Sicang next to him, "It was written by Lao Liu Tou." The back is his name. ”

Lao Liu Tou leaned over to take a look, nodded and said, "That's right, I wrote it, that's right, I was on duty that day, and He Jian rested." During that time, we were very busy distributing relief food at night, and we were on duty in two shifts. ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "This is not what you wrote, but he imitated your notes to write." ”

Old Liu Tou was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully, and said, "That's right, this is my handwriting." ”

"If it's you, then you're a thief stealing relief food! Because these accounts are not right! Leng Yi took two account books from Cheng Luojie's hand, opened them, handed them to Lao Liu Tou and said, "This is the two account book records of their grain collection and grain distribution in Lianhua County that I asked people to retrieve, I compared it, it is obviously not the number on your account book, the difference is exactly the number of stolen grain!" ”

When Lao Liu Tou saw it, it was really so, he was so frightened that he knelt down with a bang, and said with a white face: "Master, it's not me, it's really not me who stole it." The little ones didn't steal the relief food, and the little ones can swear! ”

He Jian said angrily: "Okay, you old Liu, it turned out that you stole the disaster relief mother, and I was wronged, you still don't confess from the truth, where did you transport the disaster relief food?" ”

Leng Yi looked at He Jian and sneered: "That's right, you still haven't confessed from the truth, where did you go for disaster relief?" ”

He Jian was taken aback and said: "Master, it's not me, it's him, he admitted it, those pages of accounts are all registered by him, and they have nothing to do with the villain!" ”

Leng Yi handed the account book to Lao Liu Tou and said, "Take a good look at it, is it your handwriting?" ”

Lao Liu Tou looked at it carefully again, and said with a pale face: "It's really the villain's handwriting, it's just that the villain is registered according to the truth, and he checked with the other party, and there is no wrong account." The little ones really didn't steal relief food. The eldest lord ......" said the back, and the words were trembling.

Leng Yi sighed and patted Lao Liu's shoulder: "You are very honest and very good." You've been set a trap and you don't know it. He probably has been imitating your handwriting, just trying to play tricks. Because all that needs to be imitated is your signature and the numbers you fill in, there is not much to imitate, and it is not too difficult for an old pen to be imitated. However, as soon as he was sparse, he still showed his fox tail! ”

Leng Yi's words were obviously said to He Jian, He Jian shook his whole body, and said: "Master, the villain didn't imitate his handwriting, he admitted it himself, the handwriting was his, not written by the villain." ”

Leng Yi turned to the front page and said: "That day was Lao Liu Tou on duty, this is true, it's just that there were a lot of people who received food that day, and Lao Liu Tou registered many pages, and you only re-copied and tampered with the content of a few pages, because you didn't dare to steal so much, for fear of being discovered on the spot." You only take out a few of the pages, replace them with the blank pages at the back, and then copy them again, but change the numbers and make them bigger, and imitate the signature of Lao Liu Tou at the back, so that even if they are discovered, they will buckle the basin on his head, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

He Jian hurriedly said: "The villain didn't do this, he admitted this deed himself, naturally he did it, and it has nothing to do with the villain." ”

"It's not easy to prove that you're copying, but I've found a way." Leng Yi pointed to the handwriting on the ledger and said, "Well, although the transcribed handwriting on these pages is very similar to the handwriting written by Lao Liu Tou himself, there are some differences in ink. Although the ink on these pages is about the same, the quality of the ink is different. -- The ink used to imitate these pages is no different from the ink on the other pages in appearance, but the ink used for this trace is a precious pine smoke ink, which contains very little gold dust, and when you pick it up and look sideways under the sun, you can see a faint golden light. Other papers are not! - Let's all take a look! ”

Leng Yi handed the account book to Si Fang and the others, and they all picked it up and looked sideways in the sun, and sure enough, there was a faint golden light, but there was no ink on the other pages.

Leng Yi said: "I asked my guards to sneak into your house late at night, found some books you wrote in your study, drew one of them back, and after checking it, there was indeed this kind of golden light." See for yourself! ”

With that, Leng Yi took out a piece of white paper full of words from his arms and threw it in front of him.

He Jian's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he took the paper with a trembling hand, and sure enough, it was his own handwriting, his whole body was weak, and he didn't even have the strength to pick it up and check it.

Leng Yi continued: "I inquired about the scholar's shop, and they said that this kind of ink is very precious, and it is obviously impossible for our warehouse to use such precious ink. I can't imagine that your little treasurer can afford to use such a precious ink, it's really powerful, it seems that you have embezzled a lot of money, and even the ink is selected as the best goods! ”

"The villain ......, the villain doesn't have it......"

"The ledger is only in the hands of you and Lao Liu Tou, and the ink used to imitate these pages is the same as the ink used at your own home, do you still want to quibble?"

He Jian's whole body trembled, as if he was swinging, but he gritted his teeth and still didn't say anything, thinking about how to respond in his head.

Leng Yi snorted and said, "It's true that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" Let me tell you, my guards secretly infiltrated your house and secretly investigated, and not only found this gold dust ink, but also found several large boxes of silver coins in your house, which are worth millions of dollars. You are a small treasurer, with a salary of less than 1,000 wen a month, even if you earn a lifetime, it is impossible to earn so much money. I've already checked, and you don't have any extra business, and you don't have any rich relatives, so how did you get this huge amount of money from selling those stolen grain? Say! ”

He Jian finally collapsed on the ground, hung his head and said, "I confess that I did it." I teamed up with the three of the Bad Eyes to plan this plan, and when I was on duty, the three of the Bad Eyes came to transport the grain, but because they had to register and carry it at the Si Yin's side, they made up a name called Ruan Shou to introduce it, and the Si Yin was not very responsible, so he didn't ask much. After the grain was transported out, they were supposed to go to receive wages, but they were afraid to go, for fear that people would ask for clues, so they did not receive wages. At the same time, in order to hide people's eyes, I also asked my accomplice Rotten Eyes to ask the guards to help him secretly dig a hole in the wall, pretending to be an outsider sneaking in and stealing, and then let Rotten Eyes take the money and go away. But I didn't expect the old man to see through this disguise, so I was worried that things would be exposed, so I took the ledger home, took a few pages of Lao Liu Tou's record part, replaced the back pages to the front, and then imitated Lao Liu Tou's handwriting and rewrote it, changing the numbers. It's not my business to find out the problem this way. Unexpectedly, I was still recognized by the eldest master. ”

After He Jian confessed, Leng Yi immediately asked Master Dong to ask Dali Temple to order the whole country to catch the third-class accomplices of the rotten eyes. In the end, he was arrested in the hometown of Rotten Eye Three. The rest of the accomplices were also arrested one after another, and most of the food and stolen money were recovered.

――――――――――――――――

After a few days.

On this day, Leng Yi was reviewing the official documents in the office, and Wu Zhutou rushed in, even gasping for breath, which is rare for him to have good martial arts. Leng Yi was a little surprised, put the brush and said, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Yes! Something is wrong! Wu Zhutou hurriedly said: "The scholar and his wife who we escorted to the capital, as well as Xie Shi and the maid Congyun and others, were ...... on the road, robbed and killed, and all died!" ”

The scholar couple and others mentioned by Wu Zhutou are the couple who were involved in the theft of the treasures of the palace that was detected some time ago, and the eunuch Dong Ze, who was in charge of keeping the treasures, entrusted them to keep some of the treasures. According to the requirements of the superiors, the culprits must be escorted to Beijing after interrogation and handed over to the higher authorities for personal questioning. Therefore, he sent Yamen soldiers to escort him into Beijing. Unexpectedly, on the way, someone robbed the prisoner's car and killed him.

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Who did it, do you have a clue?" ”

Wu Zhutou shook his head: "I just got the report, and I haven't read it yet." ”

Leng Yi said: "This matter is very important, you immediately invite the six doors Yin Eagle and Cheng Luojie sisters to come over!" ”

Wu Zhutou agreed, turned around and went out.

After a while, Yin Vultures and the others came. His face was heavy, apparently he had just learned about it.

Leng Yi asked Wu Zhutou to withdraw first and closed the door. Looking at Yin Eagle and Cheng Luojie sisters, he said: "The people involved in the palace treasure case were killed during the escort, and the people who killed them are likely to be related to this case and want to kill people, so I want you to go and check." ”

The three of them bowed and agreed.

Cheng Luojie hesitated for a moment and said, "The three of us have gone, we are worried about your ......."

"Don't worry!" Leng Yi smiled, "I don't have any treasures by my side, and the killer has no interest in me, after so long, I'm still not safe?" ”

Cheng Luojie said: "That's the same, then let's go and go back quickly." ”

With that, the three of them clasped their fists and turned to go out.

Afternoon.

Leng Yi returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard someone laughing loudly in the courtyard. The voice was heroic, and there was also a slightly exaggerated laugh from a high-pitched woman. Leng Yi was stunned for a moment, is there a guest at home?

He stepped in, and saw that in the living room of the main house, there were two middle-aged men and women sitting, talking and laughing with Zhuo Qiaoniang, Leng Changbei, and Leng Fu.

Seeing Leng Yi coming in, the middle-aged woman shouted, "Oh, our senior official is back!" The middle-aged man also strode over happily and grabbed Leng Yi's hand: "Brother-in-law! Hello Wow! ”

As soon as he heard him call him his brother-in-law, Leng Yi immediately understood that these two were his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang's brother and sister-in-law. However, he didn't dare to call out rashly, once he was wrong, it would be a disaster. Busy smiled and nodded vaguely.
