As soon as the shopkeeper looked up, he saw a bright red object placed in front of him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a boxy official seal, and the shopkeeper was about to see it clearly, but the official seal was taken back by Xu Liang.

"This official is Xu Liang, the chief bookkeeper of Jianchang, and I have a case to ask you."

"Lord Xu?" When Xiao Er heard this, his knees became softer again, and he said with a sad face: "What do you want to ask the little one?" The small ones must know everything, and they must say everything. ”

"If the official asks you, you have to think carefully before answering." Xu Liang pointed to the small wooden house and asked, "Do you know the person who made this fake soap ointment?" ”

"Small, small is not ...... I don't know. ”

"Don't know?! It seems that your little second brother hasn't thought clearly enough. Then there is no way, Ah Liang, take him back to prison for this official, so that he can think about it. ”

"Yes, sir!" Ah Liang replied loudly, saying that he was going to go forward to catch the shopkeeper.

"Ah, don't, adults spare their lives, little know!" As soon as the shopkeeper heard that he was going to be taken to prison, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, the person who rented this small house to make soap paste is called Lin Youcai, the little one was not familiar with him before, but he really found the small one and wanted to rent the small house, and the little one got to know his ......."

"This house is yours?" When Xu Liang heard this, he was surprised, "You just live here?" ”

"Back to adults, this house was left to the little one after the death of the little uncle, and the little one originally had his own place to live, and the house was vacant and rented out."

Xu Liang nodded, secretly hating in his heart, Tietou really guessed correctly, this Lin Youcai said that he went home to mourn, grandma's, it turned out that he hid here to make soap paste by himself.

"Then where is this Lin Youcai, and where does he live, do you know?"

"I don't know what this little one is."

"Huh?!" Xu Liang accentuated his tone and said coldly.

"My lord, I don't know if it's small!"

……

No matter how Xu Liang asked, the second little guy in this shop couldn't tell Lin Youcai more details, it seems that the second little guy in this shop is really not familiar with Lin Youcai, Xu Liang had no choice but to let the second little guy go back.

Xu Liang and Ah Liang circled around this single cabin, and there was no better way for a while, so they had to go back. After entering the county office, Xu Liang immediately arranged for Yan Qi to send someone to secretly keep an eye on the wooden house, and once the fake Lin Youcai appeared, he would immediately arrest him.

Three or four days passed in a blink of an eye, but the wooden house did not guard this fake Lin Youcai.

On the fifth day, early in the morning, the shopkeeper of the grocery store came to the county yali to report the case with a bitter face, and Xu Liang called the shopkeeper into the main bookstore, and slowly drank hot tea and looked at the shopkeeper.

"My lord, the grass man Zhang Buji came to report and report the case!" When Xiao Er saw Xu Liang and recognized that it was the person he had brought to the wooden house five days ago, he was frightened in his heart, and said with a trembling mouth.

"Oh, what are you reporting?"

"Back to my lord's words, a single-courtyard house of the grass people's family was burned down by a fire last night." The shopkeeper Zhang Buji cried.

"Huh?" Xu Liang was "surprised": "Who is so bold? Uh, can you see the arsonist? ”

"The grass people didn't see it, but some neighbors who lived next to it did." The shopkeeper wiped away his tears and said, "My lord, that's the only property left by the grass people's hard-working uncle, and it's gone." ”

"Well, the arsonist is really hateful, don't cry yet, the official asked you, what enemies do you have recently?" Xu Liang asked.

"The grass people have always been the ones who do their duty, where can there be any enemies?"

"And you have someone to live in this house?"

"My lord," the shopkeeper glanced at Xu Liang, and said in his heart, don't you know, Ai Ai said: "The grass people temporarily rented that house to a person named Lin Youcai to live in. ”

"Good!" Xu Liang listened, slapped the table, wrote it down, and said categorically: "According to this official, Lin Youcai, who rented your house, is very suspicious!" You can rest assured, this official will definitely uphold justice for you, which will make people bring that Lin Youcai for questioning, and he will definitely give you justice. ”

"Ah, my lord," the shopkeeper said hesitantly, "the grass people, the grass people just rented the house to him, and the grass people can't be sure that it must be the fire set by Lin Youcai......"

Xu Liang waved his hand and interrupted him: "You don't need to say it, since you reported this matter to the official, how to investigate the case is a matter for the government, you go back first, and the official will notify you when the result is available." ”

After sending the shopkeeper away, Xu Liang immediately called the head catcher Yan Qi, and ordered with a smile: "Just now the shopkeeper came to report the case, someone burned his house, and the tenant Lin Youcai is very suspicious. ”

In a remote alley in Jianchang City, a carriage stopped in front of a courtyard gate, the handlebar type drank the horses, the carriage stopped steadily, and a middle-aged man in a blue cotton jacket walked down from the car, the man glanced around, raised his feet and went up to the courtyard door, lightly buckled the door knocker twice, the courtyard door silently opened a crack, the people inside saw the man, opened the door on one side, welcomed the man in, and the door closed silently.

In the courtyard, the man sighed lightly at his hands and asked the subordinate who was accompanying him: "How is it, what results did Lin Youcai try again?" ”

The subordinate huffed his waist and said: "Second master, it's still the same, this kid surnamed Lin tried two pots the day before yesterday and yesterday, and the soap paste he made is still the same, black and slippery, and he doesn't look good at all, and he still smells like it." ”

The man who was called the second master paused when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Take me to see." ”

The two walked through the verandah in the courtyard and went around to a large room in the backyard, only two large cauldrons were built with bricks in the wind room, and the unknown soup in the pot was steaming, and a man in a short shirt with small eyes was squatting in front of the pot at the moment, adding firewood to the pot.

"How is it, Lin Youcai, did you try anything today?" The man asked as he entered the house.

The man in the short shirt looked up and saw the man in a panic and hurriedly stood up, rubbed his hands and laughed: "It turned out that the second master Tan is here, if you go back to the second master, the little one has interviewed three or four pots in front of him, and he has already found some doorways, and the second master will give the little one more time, and the little one will definitely be able to make this soap cream." ”

"Well," Second Master Tan nodded and encouraged: "Lin Youcai, don't worry, think slowly, try slowly, Second Master, I, don't worry." ”

"Eh, Second Master Xie."

Second Master Tan took out the notice that Zhang Gang tore off from the street from his arms, handed it to Lin Youcai and said: "Now the streets outside are full of notices to arrest you, this time, you can stay here with peace of mind, and give the soap paste to the second master to try it out, you can rest assured, as long as you make a qualified soap cream, the second master will ensure that you are unharmed." ”

Lin Youcai took the notice, and when he saw that it was the notice that the county government had arrested him, his face immediately became very ugly.

"Haha, don't worry." Second Master Tan patted Lin Youcai's shoulder comfortingly, and said confidently: "As long as you follow my Second Master Tan in a down-to-earth manner and do things for me seriously, what is the little Jianchang County Ya?" Not to mention that you just burned a small wooden house, even if you hurt people's lives, as long as my Second Master Tan is here, no one will dare to touch you! ”

Lin Youcai squeezed out a little smile and said curtly: "Eh, yes, yes, the little one must do something for the second master!" ”

Lin Youcai smiled, but his heart was gloomy. Alas, I knew why I had to do it in the first place. In fact, when Lin Youcai had just worked in Xu Liang's soap room for a month, he thought that he had learned all the skills of making soap cream, and seeing that this soap paste was so profitable, he was ambitious to come out and make soap paste alone to make money. Who knows that the ideal is very happy, but the reality is very skinny. Lin Youcai rented a wooden house, bought the raw materials and tried to make them himself, and finally tried some soap paste after seven or eight times in a row, but even if the things that came out were different from Liang Ji's soap cream, it was more than 108,000 miles, not to mention ugly, it smelled bad.

almost emptied all his savings, and as a result, he tried to come up with such a pile of waste, Lin Youcai was very sad. In desperation, he found the landlord, that is, the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to sell it secretly at the price of three pennies a box, and promised to give the shopkeeper a commission of one penny for every box sold.

Lin Youcai should also be lucky, this waste soap paste did not sell much, but others let a person called Tan Er Ye pay attention, on the way back to the wooden house, Tan Er Ye sent someone to take to this unknown small courtyard, after Tan Er Ye solemnly promised, Lin Youcai continued to experiment with soap paste in the courtyard.

Lin Youcai looked at the two cauldrons that were boiling hot in front of him, then looked at the notice in his hand, and threw the notice under the pot in annoyance, seeing that the notice was ignited in an instant, and burned into ashes in a blink of an eye. Lin Youcai sighed, picked up the spatula beside him, and stirred it in the pot.

The notice to arrest Lin Youcai has been hanging out for five or six days, and this Lin Youcai seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, and he can't see anyone alive or dead.

Xu Liang also had no idea for a while. This fake Lin Youcai will not be caught for a day, there are too many variables, not only Xu Liang is not sure, but Feng Suqin, Tietou, Chun'er, and Xia'er in the soap room are also panicked.

"Brother Xu, isn't there any news of that Lin Youcai?" One day Xu Liang returned to Xu's mansion, and Feng Suqin greeted him and asked.

Xu Liang shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Is this Lin Youcai really a rat who can only drill holes?" I can't find it! ”

Feng Suqin glanced at her sweetheart when she heard this, and chuckled: "Even if it's a mouse, it can only be a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats." Eh, Brother Xu, I was thinking that maybe we were wrong in the first place. ”

"Oh, Suqin, what do you think?"

"Brother Xu, do you want it," Feng Suqin broke her slender jade hand, looked at Xu Liang with bright eyes, and said: "Jianchang County is not big, but it is not small, if this Lin Youcai knew the news in advance and wanted to avoid us, I am afraid that it is not too difficult, as long as he finds a place where no one pays attention to him and keeps hiding from the door, can we still go door to door with great fanfare?" In my opinion, since Lin Youcai wants to make a fortune by imitating soap cream, then he will definitely not stop there, he must still be trying to make soap cream, and if he wants to make soap cream, he must use those raw materials to make soap cream......
